Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A Canadian government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most comes from one plant in Wisconsin, home state of then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty. Another product on the list was whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Trump made the threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are happy to work with the Trump administration to lower the numbers from Canada. The Canadians are also worried about a influx north of migrants if Trump follows through with his plan for mass deportations. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border pale in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

Canadian officials argue their country is not the problem and that tariffs will have severe implications for both countries. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. “Canada is essential to the United States’ domestic energy supply,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Trump has pledged to cut American energy bills in half within 18 months, something that could be made harder if a 25% premium is added to Canadian oil imports. In 2023, Canadian oil accounted for almost two-thirds of total U.S. oil imports and about one-fifth of the U.S. oil supply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a emergency virtual meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of Canada’s provinces, who want Trudeau to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.”

Special counsel Jack Smith moved to drop the Justice Department’s appeal in President-elect Donald Trump ’s classified documents case. The move, announced in a court filing Monday, aligns with the longstanding DOJ policy of not criminally prosecuting sitting presidents. The decision comes shortly after Smith also filed a motion to dismiss the 2020 election interference case against Trump. Last week, the judge overseeing Trump’s hush money trial canceled the upcoming sentencing hearing without immediately setting a new date. Smith did not move to drop proceedings against the two other men charged in the case: Walt Nauta, Trump’s personal aide and valet, and Carlos De Oliveira, the maintenance chief at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property in Florida. Trump celebrated the dismissal of proceedings against him. “These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,” he claimed on Truth Social . In a shock ruling in July, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, dismissed the classified documents case after it dragged out far longer than legal experts expected. Smith quickly filed an appeal challenging Cannon’s ruling that his appointment to the case was unconstitutional because it did not go through Congress. Ahead of the election, Cannon’s name appeared on the Trump campaign’s list of possible candidates for attorney general, according to documents obtained by ABC News . The classified documents case concerned 13,000 government documents, including hundreds of highly classified ones, that the FBI recovered during a 2022 raid at Mar-a-Lago. The documents, many of which detailed matters of national security, were found strewn about Trump’s home ― in a ballroom, a bathroom, an office, his bedroom and a storage room.

Only one of the four criminal indictments against Trump is still technically proceeding: the Georgia racketeering case against him that arose from his efforts to overturn that state’s 2020 presidential election results. The case was already stalled by several pretrial motions from Trump’s legal team, and it remains to be seen whether a state-level prosecutor can take action against a sitting president.

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton recently scolded his party for supporting transgender athletes despite voting against legislation meant to protect girls sports in 2023. The representative told the New York Times just after the November election that he did not support boys playing in girls sports and bashed Democrats for leaning into the issue. In April of 2023, Moulton voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act which sought to prevent males who identify as transgender from participating in female sports and activities under Title IX. “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said, according to the NYT. “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” Demonstrators listen to the speaking program during an “Our Bodies, Our Sports” rally for the 50th anniversary of Title IX at Freedom Plaza on June 23, 2022 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Despite his new critiques of the left’s interest in identity politics, Moulton wasted no time bashing Republicans after the bill protecting women’s sports passed the House. “This bill is part of a broader Republican attack on the rights of transgender people—with detrimental consequences for children’s mental and physical health,” Moulton wrote in an April 2023 press release. “H.R. 734 adds to a dangerous and unfactual narrative that transgender girls are a threat to cisgender girls, which harms trans girls’ ability to socialize with peers, develop friendships, and maintain their mental health.” “As a father with two young daughters, I am committed to ensuring girls can enjoy equal and safe participation in athletic opportunities,” Moulton continued at the time. “Sport should provide a space for our daughters to develop self-efficacy, confidence, and community. But in the fight to uphold Title IX, we are wrong to single out transgender girls and contribute to discrimination and stigma against them.” Moulton claimed his position on the subject has not changed when asked about the contradiction. “I have nuanced views on these issues, and that’s exactly what we need,” Moulton told The Free Press. Many Democrats have since turned against Moulton over his recent comments, rallying in an effort to replace the congressman in office, according to Fox News. (RELATED: Court Blocks Law Banning Biological Men From Competing In Women’s Sports) “We’ve worked so hard at becoming tolerant that we’ve become intolerant,” Moulton said of his party, according to The Free Press.

THE HAGUE (AP) — The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza. The warrants said there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and have intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny. The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. Experts say hunger has become widespread across Gaza and may have reached famine levels in the north of the territory, which is under siege by Israeli troops. Israel says it has been working hard to improve entry of aid, though the trickle of supplies into Gaza remains near the lowest levels of the war. Netanyahu condemned the warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. In a statement released by his office, he said: “There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza.” Gallant, in a statement, said the decision "sets a dangerous precedent against the right to self-defense and moral warfare and encourages murderous terrorism.” The warrant marked the first time that a sitting leader of a major Western ally has been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by a global court of justice. The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects, putting them at risk of arrest when they travel abroad and potentially further isolating them . Israel and its top ally, the United States, are not members of the court. But others of Israel's allies, including some of its close European friends, are put in an awkward position. Several, including France, welcomed the court's decision and signaled they might arrest Netanyahu if he visited. The move “represents the most dramatic step yet in the court’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Hamas," said Anthony Dworkin, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Israeli leaders, politicians and officials across the spectrum denounced the warrants and the ICC. The new defense minister, Israel Katz, who replaced Gallant earlier this month, said Thursday’s decision is “a moral disgrace, entirely tainted by antisemitism, and drags the international judicial system to an unprecedented low.” Human rights groups applauded the move. The warrants against both sides “break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law,” the associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch, Balkees Jarrah, said in a statement. The decision came six months after ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan requested the warrants. The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. It said it found reasonable grounds to believe Deif was involved in murder, rape, torture and the taking of hostages amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the Hamas-led attack, militants stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and taking some 250 others hostage. Around 100 Israelis remain captive in Gaza, around a third of them believed to be dead. Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh , who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death. The warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant were issued by a three-judge panel in a unanimous decision. The panel said there were reasonable grounds to believe that both men bear responsibility for the war crime of starvation and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts. The judges said the lack of food, water, electricity, fuel and specific medical supplies created conditions “calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza,” including the deaths of children due to malnutrition and dehydration. They also found that by preventing hospital supplies and medicine from getting into Gaza, doctors were forced to operate, including performing amputations, without anesthesia or with unsafe means of sedation that led to “great suffering.” Israeli diplomatic officials said the government is lobbying the international community to speak out against the warrants and is considering an appeal to the court. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal decision on how the government will proceed. Despite the warrants, none of the suspects is likely to face judges in The Hague anytime soon. Member countries are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that. For example, Russian President Vladimir Putin, wanted on an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, recently visited Mongolia, a member state in the court but also a Russian ally. He was not arrested. Still, the threat of arrest now complicates any travel abroad by Netanyahu and Gallant. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the warrants are binding on all 27 members countries of the European Union. France signaled it could arrest Netanyahu if he came to its territory. Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine called it a “complex legal issue” but said France supports the court’s actions. “Combating impunity is our priority,” he said. “Our response will align with these principles.” Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif. Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz, a retired general and political rival to Netanyahu, said it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.” Israel’s campaign has caused heavy destruction across Gaza and driven almost the entire population of 2.3 million people from their homes, leaving most dependent on aid to survive. Two days after Hamas’ attack on southern Israel, Gallant announced a total seal on Gaza, vowing not to let in food, fuel or other supplies. Under U.S. pressure, Israel began allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid to enter a few weeks later. Israel now says it puts no limit on the supplies permitted into Gaza, and it blames the U.N. distribution system. But Israel's official figures show the amount of aid it has let in has plunged since the beginning of October. The U.N has blamed Israeli military restrictions, along with widespread lawlessness that has led to theft of aid shipments. The case at the ICC is separate from another legal battle Israel is waging at the top U.N. court, the International Court of Justice, in which South Africa accuses Israel of genocide , an allegation Israeli leaders staunchly deny. Lawyers for Israel argued in court that the war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide.

Nagpur: Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Monday met party national president Mallikarjun Kharge in Delhi to discuss the poll debacle in the state. Speaking to reporters, Patole denied offering to resign, owning moral responsibility for the setback. Party sources said Patole will stay overnight in Delhi and may meet Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday. In the Monday meeting, a Congress leader said, "Patole met Kharge and AICC general secretary KC Venugopal. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise The meeting analysed reasons for the party's poor show in Maharashtra. They also discussed the poll loss of big names like Balasaheb Thorat, Prithviraj Chavhan, and others. Patole said there seems to be some other reason for the defeat as the mood on the ground was against the BJP alliance. The source said Patole even presented statistics on how Congress always managed to win over 40 seats during the 2014 and 2019 polls. "That's when there was a strong pro-BJP wave. But this time the wave was in favour of Congress, but the tally shockingly shrunk to 16. This is unbelievable," a Congress leader told TOI. "On Tuesday, Patole will meet Rahul Gandhi and as far as we know, there is no talk of him stepping down," the leader added. Even senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar said, "I don't think there is any official confirmation on the resignation, only the media is reporting about it." Patole's task to explain the party's humiliating loss became more complicated in view of his own wafer-thin 208-vote victory in Sakoli — courtesy postal ballots. This comes just months after Patole led Congress to victory in Bhandara-Gondia Lok Sabha polls by fielding a ‘political nobody'. Across the state, Congress had performed much better than expected in LS polls, but the assembly poll results have come as a shocker. The Congress leader, who was privy to information on Patole's meeting, said, "Maharashtra results were completely unexpected and have forced us to raise questions on the electoral process."Grey-Bruce Public Health (GBPH) has appointed a new board chair - Dr. Nicholas Saunders is the first Indigenous chair of the Grey-Bruce Board of Health, and likely the first Indigenous person to serve as board chair of a public health unit in Ontario.

European stocks bounced around Monday while US equities shook off early weakness to push higher as investors waited to see if a so-called Santa Claus rally sweeps over the market. Global stock markets had a tumultuous time last week, spiraling lower after the US Federal Reserve signaled fewer interest rate cuts than had been expected for 2025. But it ended on a positive note as traders welcomed below-forecast US inflation data that raised hopes about the health of the world's biggest economy. That helped Asian markets move higher on Monday, but the positive trend faltered in Europe and stumbled initially in the United States. "Another up leg in US yields not only put pressure on stock indices but also drove the greenback higher," said IG analyst Axel Rudolph. But after a sluggish start, US stocks rose progressively in a quiet session with analysts pointing to low pre-holiday trading volumes. "Stocks didn't really have any direction in the morning, then we got this tech rally that just sort of drifted higher all day," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. Analysts view elevated Treasury bond yields as a threat to year-end gains in an historically strong period of the calendar. Known as a Santa Claus rally, there are various explanations for the phenomenon including seasonal optimism and end-of-year tax considerations. But there remains some trepidation among investors as Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, pledging to cut taxes, slash regulations and impose tariffs on imports, which some economists warn could reignite inflation. "The initial response to the US election was positive as investors focused on the obvious tailwinds to profitability: lower corporate tax rates and less regulation," said Ronald Temple, chief market strategist at Lazard. "However, I expect much more dispersion within the equity market when the reality of a much-less-friendly trade environment sets in." In Europe, the FTSE 100 moved higher as the pound slid following data that showed that the UK economy stagnated in the third quarter, revised down from initial estimates of 0.1 percent growth. Official data out of Spain on Monday showed that the Spanish economy grew 0.8 percent in the third quarter as domestic consumption and exports increased, comfortably outstripping the European Union average. In company news, shares in crisis-hit German auto giant Volkswagen lost more than three percent on the back of news Friday that it plans to axe 35,000 jobs by 2030 in a drastic cost-cutting plan. Shares in Japanese auto giant Honda rose over three percent after it announced Monday an agreement to launch merger talks with struggling compatriot Nissan that could create the world's third largest automaker.

Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Portland Press Herald Seeing the Wells Warriors win another state football championship was nothing new. As for the other 11-man teams that brought home Gold Balls on Saturday? It had been a long time coming. Portland (Class A) and Fryeburg Academy (Class C) ended state title droughts of 22 and 59 years with their respective championship game wins. In Class B, Falmouth took down Kennebunk, 26-13, to win the first Gold Ball in program history. “The ability to bring the first Gold Ball to Falmouth, it just feels incredible,” Spencer Emerson, the Navigators’ first-year head coach, said Monday. “I think it’s starting to sink in a little bit, but it’s still pretty unreal. I’m just really, really proud of our guys and what they accomplished.” Fryeburg’s 28-0 shutout of Hermon in the Class C title game marked the Raiders’ first state championship since winning two in three years in 1963 and 1965, when state titles were decided by regular season records. Portland’s drought might pale in comparison to those of Falmouth and Fryeburg, but the Bulldogs’ 35-14 victory over Thornton Academy in Class A still marked the first title since the current players were born. It also ended the team’s streak of five straight state championship game losses (2015, ’16, ’18, ’22, ’23). “It means everything to these guys,” said Portland Coach Sean Green. “It was tough (losing to Thornton in the state championship game) last year – we felt we were the best team in the state – but this group this year was a little bit different; they had that ‘it’ factor to them.” Unlike the other Gold Ball winners, though, Saturday’s win wasn’t the end of Portland’s season. The Bulldogs will be back at Fitzpatrick Stadium on Thursday to face Deering (8-2) in the 112th edition of the traditional Thanksgiving Day rivalry game. Portland leads the all-time series 62-42-7. “It’s unique in Maine, and it’s a game these boys come to look forward to and expect every year,” Green said. “(Deering) has a great football team, and they’re going to be a challenge. ... I know we’re excited to play together as a team one last time.” ONE OF THE YOUNGEST players on Portland’s defense Saturday afternoon was also one of its most impactful. Portland’s Alex Martin tackles Thornton Academy Wyatt Benoit during Saturday’s Class A title game. Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Portland Press Herald Sophomore outside linebacker Alex Martin wreaked havoc against Thornton Academy, flying to the ball, blowing plays up in the backfield and helping prevent the Golden Trojans from finding offensive rhythm in the Class A final. In the second quarter, with the Bulldogs ahead 6-0, Martin helped stuff Mauricio Sunderland for a loss of 2 yards on a second-and-10 carry from the Portland 13, then brought down quarterback Wyatt Benoit on a keeper for a loss of 2 yards to force a fourth-and-long that the Trojans failed to convert. Martin wasn’t finished, adding a sack of Benoit on third-and-4 from the Portland 18 in the third quarter, again setting the stage for a turnover on downs. Early in the fourth, he brought down Sunderland for a loss of 3 yards, and later in that same drive, he sacked Benoit for a loss of 14 yards. “It’s the whole team. We just execute in practice, Coach puts up the great plays and writes up everything we need,” Martin said. “I knew I was going to come up and be a big-time player. I had to help the team as much as I could. It worked out.” Green praised Martin’s work ethic for making him the disruptive player he was in the season’s biggest game. “Alex Martin’s a tremendous football player,” he said. “He’s a two-way starter for us, he plays on all the special teams units, and he’s just a kid that shows up every day and does his job – he certainly did that today. Kids that work as hard as he does, you like to see it pay off for them, and it certainly did.” Eddie Yin, left, and Anton Kravchuk of Fryeburg Acadmy celebrate after the Raiders beat Hermon, 28-0, in the Class C state championship game on Saturday in Lewiston. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal ANY LIST OF THE TOP postseason runs in the history of Maine high school football should include the 2024 Fryeburg Raiders. The win over Hermon on Saturday at Lewiston High School completed a stretch of three straight postseason shutouts for the Raiders. They joined Cheverus in 2021 as the only two teams since 1982 Winslow in the Pine Tree Conference Class A (now B) to hold foes scoreless across multiple playoff games. Fryeburg (9-2) did so by focusing on Hermon’s ground game. Max Hopkins gained only 42 rushing yards on 16 carries for the Hawks (8-3), and Bruce Coulter, one of Class C’s top backs, was held to 24 yards on nine carries. “We stopped the run; we knew they were going to do it, and we stopped it,” said Fryeburg junior Ty Boone. “We practiced all week – we were prepared all week – and we just came out here, and we executed.” Fryeburg, the top seed in Class C South, opened the playoffs with a 48-0 victory over York in the regional semis. The Raiders then defeated Leavitt 38-0 in the Southern Maine title game , avenging a 2023 C South final loss in which they led by multiple scores late before the Hornets pulled out a 36-32 win that motivated Fryeburg for the next 12 months. “I’ve dreamed of that day for one year,” said Fryeburg senior Daniel Ruiz. “I had in my mind that we were going to come (back) here – that I was going to work my ass off and that we were going to come here and win.” Eli Potter of Wells carries the ball behind the blocking of Keegan Roberge during the Class D state championship game against Foxcroft Academy. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal IT WAS FITTING for Wells to follow Fryeburg’s Class C win with a 34-0 triumph over Foxcroft on the same field in the Class D title game. The Warriors’ only close game all year, after all, was a 21-20 victory against Fryeburg on Oct. 18. (Fryeburg’s only other setback was a 15-14 loss to Class B champ Falmouth on Sept. 27.) Like the Raiders, Saturday’s win capped off an impressive postseason run for Wells (11-0). The Warriors defeated Oak Hill, 55-14, in the D South semis and Winthrop, 35-7, in the regional title game before claiming their second consecutive Gold Ball and stretching their winning streak to 22 games. Foxcroft entered the Class C final unbeaten and had given up an average of just 7.7 points per game and held foes to one score or fewer in eight of its 11 contests. Wells made that stingy defense crumble as Eli Potter (185) and Dom Buxton (144) combined for 329 rushing yards. “Our O-line was incredible,” Potter said. “They worked hard, and I’d say this was our best performance of the entire year. They opened up the holes, and all we’ve got to do is run hard and get our feet going, and we’ll get through.” Football: Portland ends long title drought, wins Class A crown Football: Falmouth dethrones Kennebunk to win first state championship We invite you to add your comments.
