The US is trying to pressure Lithuania to let Belarusian potash be shipped through their ports.
The response? "We say very clearly 'fuck no.' If Americans are not able to learn from history then we have to stand the ground."
Thank you Lithuania for your steadfast support.💙💛

There is no such thing as a short, 3-4 day military operation—if we strike Iran, they will respond. We have consistently underestimated the most basic reality: the enemy gets a vote.
There is no military option that will persuade Iran to accept the U.S.’s terms for a deal—after 8 months of failing to restore order to the chaos it caused, the administration knows this— so what is the purpose of more strikes?
If we strike Iran by targeting more of their leaders and/or energy infrastructure, Iran will retaliate by striking Gulf energy infrastructure & U.S. forces in the region. More American troops will needlessly die, & our energy prices will continue to skyrocket.
Iran’s allies & proxies—like the Houthis, Iraqi militias, & possibly Bahraini groups—will attack Saudi energy infrastructure, the BAM/Suez, & will potentially attack the governments of Kuwait & Bahrain. We’re already unable to help the Saudis deter the Houthis—if we engage in kinetic combat against Iran, we’ll be even more incapable of assisting our already-weakened allies.
More strikes won’t change the game. Walking away & declaring victory before Tuesday sets a positive tone for the elections & resets the parameters for negotiations with Iran.
President Trump can avoid the escalation trap by walking away now, before the fog of war envelops the rest of his presidency.

Canada and the EU are working towards the deepest possible partnership — short of full membership — with Canada becoming the European Union’s first Associate Member.
Today in Montréal, we took a major step forward with more than twenty new measures that will create greater affordability, opportunity, and sovereignty on both sides of the Atlantic.

No matter what happens in the U.S. midterms, Canadians shouldn't kid themselves into thinking things just go back to normal. One election doesn't fix a broken relationship. Keep buying Canadian, keep building bridges, and NEVER put all our eggs in one basket again. 🇨🇦

It’s clear that President Trump and Elon Musk are siding with Putin. The Ukrainians depend on Starlink to help fight the war, and we are seeing what happens when a disgruntled billionaire does what he wants with a nation’s security.

We spoke to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about whether he's willing to wait out Donald Trump's term as president before signing a new trade deal with the U.S.
"We're not going to lock in something that's not in Canada's interest."

Not quite the same level of their tilt from January of 2024 in the AHL but still a big boy battle between Tyrel Bauer and Boko Imama
Love the mutual nod at the end when they both decide. Ok we done.

🥲You need to hear this. It's about the man Pete Hegseth just fired, Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia. A story of appreciation told by one of his own soldiers.
🚨🇺🇸Trust me, he deserves this minute of your time. What's happening isn't just difficult at times, it's heartbreaking.

I served three tours in Iraq alongside the military. I was a CIA officer and a Pentagon official. President Trump’s threats of further military action in Iran won’t bring us any closer to ending this war.

Mr. President, instead of spewing racist hatred against Abdul, explain to the American people why you:
- Gave the top 1% $1 trillion in tax cuts
- Threw 15 million Americans off the healthcare they had
- Unleashed brutal ICE raids
- Dragged us into an illegal war with Iran

Secretary Hegseth’s purge continues. He has fired another top general in the middle of a war that’s already not going well. This doesn’t make me believe he is doing all he can to make Americans safe.

I joined Prime Minister Carney, fellow cabinet colleagues and the European delegation to build on economic opportunities for our economies.
Here’s what we delivered:
✅ Concluded negotiations on a Canada-EU Digital Trade Agreement
✅ An investment agreement with the European Investment Bank to invest in Canadian projects
✅ A supercomputing agreement with EuroHPC
✅ An IRIS² arrangement on secure satellite connectivity
✅ A Galileo arrangement on satellite navigation
More European customers for Canadian businesses, more investment in Canada and more good paying jobs at home.

J’ai participé au Sommet Canada-UE aux côtés du premier ministre Carney, de mes collègues du Cabinet et de la délégation européenne pour créer davantage de possibilités économiques des deux côtés de l’Atlantique.
Voici ce que nous avons accompli :

✅ Un accord avec la Banque européenne d’investissement pour soutenir des investissements dans des projets canadiens
✅ Un accord sur le calcul à haute performance avec EuroHPC
✅ Une entente relative à IRIS² sur la connectivité satellitaire sécurisée

Plus de clients européens pour les entreprises canadiennes, plus d’investissements au Canada et plus de bons emplois ici, au pays.
