esports sponsors WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned home Saturday after his meeting with Donald Trump without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. After the leaders’ hastily arranged dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trudeau spoke of “an excellent conversation." Trump said in a Truth Social post later Saturday that they discussed “many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address.” For issues in need of such cooperation, Trump cited fentanyl and the “Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration," fair trade deals "that do not jeopardize American Workers” and the U.S. trade deficit with its ally to the north. Trump asserted that the prime minister had made “a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation” of American families from fentanyl from China reaching the United States through its neighbors. The U.S., he said, “will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic.” The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. 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. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024 — and Canadian officials say they are ready to make new investments in border security. Trudeau called Trump after the Republican's social media posts about the tariffs last Monday and they agreed to meet, according to a official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss detail of the private talks. The official said other countries are calling Canadian officials to hear how about how the meeting was arranged and to ask for advice. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, after speaking with Trump on the telephone, said Thursday she was confident a tariff war with Washington would be averted. At the dinner that was said to last three hours, Trump said he and Trudeau also discussed energy, trade and the Arctic. A second official cited defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast, pipelines and the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year as other issues that arose. Trudeau's office said in a statement that the leaders “shared a productive wide-ranging discussion” centering on “collaboration and strengthening our relationship,” adding, "As Canada’s closest friend and ally, the United States is our key partner, and we are committed to working together in the interests of Canadians and Americans.” Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. "Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Trudeau had said before leaving from Friday that Trump was elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now was talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products, including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. The threatened tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. When Trump imposed higher tariffs as president, 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 response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. 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 one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Tahlequah, Orca Who Carried Dead Calf’s Body For 1,000 Miles, Has New BabyAnthony Scaramucci , who briefly served as White House communications director during President-elect Donald Trump ‘s first term, sees promise in Trump’s proposed Cabinet but fears that Trump’s mass deportation plan could have severe economic repercussions . What Happened : During a Friday interview, Scaramucci commended Trump’s intention to nominate Scott Bessent , a billionaire hedge-fund manager, for Treasury secretary. He characterized Bessent as an “extremely intelligent individual” who would be a “reliable figure at Treasury.” Scaramucci also showed support for Trump’s naming Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff and intention to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for Secretary of State and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) for National Security Adviser, labeling them as “astute, practical selections.” But during the discussion with iNews, Scaramucci expressed apprehension about Trump’s deportation plan, which could potentially expel up to 20 million individuals, including those born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants. He is worried that the execution of such a plan could lead to catastrophic economic outcomes. "I think Trump's barometric pressure of how well he's doing is the stock market. So, if you're telling me he's going to start to deport people and ratchet up tariffs, we're going to have a stock market crash," he said during the interview. "The U.S. stock market is saying that Trump's going to run the country like a centrist, moderate, center-right, Republican president. That's what the U.S. stock market is saying. The U.S. stock market is not taking the rhetoric around tariffs and deportations seriously. So, some of the picks have helped me become more optimistic," he added. Also Read: Scaramucci On Trump Win: ‘I Got It Wrong, I’m Not Going To Whine About It’ Scaramucci also conveyed his hope that Trump’s threat to enforce new tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada will not come to pass, as it could trigger a stock market collapse. Despite his reservations, Scaramucci maintains a positive outlook on the future of Trump’s administration, primarily due to the tempering effect of his cabinet choices. Why It Matters : The appointment of a new cabinet and the potential implementation of a mass deportation plan could have significant implications for the U.S. economy. Scaramucci’s comments highlight the importance of these decisions and their potential impact on the country’s economic stability. His optimism about the cabinet appointments suggests confidence in their ability to guide the country effectively. However, his concerns about the deportation plan and potential tariffs underscore the potential risks these policies pose to the economy.

The piece offers a detailed breakdown of the state's stringent DWI regulations, the potential consequences of a conviction, and the critical role legal representation plays in such cases. In his article, the Nassau County DWI lawyer emphasizes that New York's DWI laws are among the strictest in the nation, reflecting the state's commitment to road safety. He explains that individuals charged with DWI often face a daunting legal process that can affect every aspect of their lives. "A DWI conviction has the potential to disrupt a person's career, personal relationships, and even the ability to perform everyday activities like driving to work or school." The Nassau County DWI lawyer goes on to highlight the importance of understanding the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limits in New York. The state enforces a BAC threshold of 0.08% for most drivers, with stricter limits for commercial drivers (0.04%) and those under 21 (Zero Tolerance Law). However, Kofman notes that drivers can still face charges for a BAC as low as 0.05% under Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) laws. One of the key takeaways from the article is the severity of penalties for DWI offenses in Nassau County. For a first-time DWI conviction, individuals may face fines ranging from $500 to $1,000, up to one year in jail, and a minimum six-month license revocation. Repeat offenses carry even harsher consequences, with a third conviction within ten years classified as a felony, often resulting in state imprisonment. Kofman sheds light on aggravated DWI charges, which apply when a driver's BAC is 0.18% or higher. These cases carry steeper penalties, including fines of up to $2,500, a one-year license revocation, and mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device. According to Kofman, the implications of such charges underscore the need for a robust legal defense. The article also covers Leandra's Law, a New York State statute that imposes severe penalties on drivers caught operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old. Under this law, even a first offense is classified as a felony, and offenders are required to install ignition interlock devices on their vehicles. Kofman notes that Leandra's Law reflects the state's zero-tolerance approach toward impaired driving, particularly when it endangers children. In addition to outlining the penalties, Kofman's article provides practical advice for individuals pulled over on suspicion of DWI. He explains the rights motorists have during a traffic stop, including the right to remain silent and the right to refuse vehicle searches without a warrant or probable cause. However, he cautions that refusing breathalyzer or chemical tests can lead to immediate license suspension and may be used as evidence against the driver in court. "Understanding an individual's rights during a DWI stop is crucial," says Kofman. "The decisions made in those moments can significantly impact the outcome of the case. That's why it's essential to consult with a Nassau County DWI lawyer as soon as possible." The article also explores various defense strategies that can be employed in DWI cases. These include challenging the legality of the traffic stop, questioning the accuracy of sobriety and chemical tests, and identifying procedural errors made by law enforcement. Kofman explains that even minor mistakes by police officers can result in evidence being deemed inadmissible, potentially leading to a dismissal of charges. Kofman's article doesn't shy away from discussing the long-term repercussions of a DWI conviction. Beyond fines and jail time, individuals may face increased insurance premiums, difficulties obtaining employment, and even immigration issues for non-citizens. Additionally, the social stigma of a conviction can strain personal relationships and damage one's reputation. To mitigate these consequences, Kofman stresses the importance of timely and competent legal representation. "A DWI conviction can have a ripple effect on an individual's entire life. That's why it's critical to have a lawyer who can not only defend in court but also assist with the repercussions of a conviction," he explains. For those facing DWI charges in Nassau County, the stakes are high, but the right legal representation can make a significant difference. Kofman's article serves as both a guide and a reminder that individuals have options, even in the most challenging situations.

Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, leads fan balloting for the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games after one week of voting, the league announced on Monday. Ravens superstar Jackson set the overall pace with 44,681 votes followed by teammate Derrick Henry, the running back leader, in second overall at 40,729 votes. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was third overall at 40,602, only 127 votes behind Henry in the rusher's race, with Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen fourth overall on 36,574 and Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs fifth on 35,637. The Detroit Lions lead all clubs in total votes received, followed by the Ravens, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers. The NFL's revamped all-star event will be staged in Orlando, Florida, for the second consecutive year. In all, 88 players will gather on February 2 in skills competitions and a flag football showdown with coaches Peyton and Eli Manning.

The votes are well and truly in with General Election 2024, but it hasn’t been a campaign without mishaps and blunders. After the public headed to the polls on Friday, November 29, the process of figuring out just who will be the winners began at 9 am on Saturday. However, today hasn’t come without its fair share of problems – here are just some the blunders noted The first mishap was flagged last night after it was found that ballot papers in the constituency of Limerick City had not listed the candidates names in the correct order. Electoral law states that candidates must be listed in alphabetical order on the ballot paper. However, Sinn Féin’s Maurice Quinlivan and Dean Quinn of the Irish People party were incorrectly placed ahead of Fianna Fáil’s Willie O’Dea and Elisa O’Donovan of the Social Democrats on some ballot papers. While Mr Quinvilan branded the ballot paper error as an ‘absolute scandal’, Fianna Fáil stalwart Willie O’Dea commented that he was ‘stunned’ by the issue, labelling it ‘a disgrace’. However, the issue didn’t seem to impact Mr O’Dea too much as after five counts, he is in the lead with over 8,426 votes Maurice Quinlivan of Sinn Féin and Kieran O’Donnell of Fine Gael are trailing behind Mr O’Dea. The fire alarm has started blaring at the Dun Laoghaire count centre. pic.twitter.com/4GmzLFpjlV Volunteers in the Dun Laoghaire constituency experienced a lengthy slow down this afternoon after a fire alarm in the count centre. The count, which was taking place in Leopardstown, was subject to a delay as the alarm had to be investigated. The count centre also hit the headlines after Fine Gael candidate, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill became the first TD to be elected into the Dáil . We have a wedding ring! One of the counters Peter Creamer has found a wedding ring in a box from Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar. #GE24 pic.twitter.com/blS6D2bfnE Two voters in Donegal and Westmeath were casting sighs of relief after their wedding rings were found in the ballot boxes. As per every single election — be it general, local or referendum — there are usually ‘prizes’ in the ballot box, ranging from religious medals to wedding rings. This time around was no exception after volunteers in both count centres came across the rings as counting kicked off across the nation from 9am this morning. ‘We have a wedding ring!’ it was posted on Twitter (X). ‘One of the counters Peter Creamer has found a wedding ring in a box from Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar.’ Similarly, a note taped to the bottom of the ballot box which came from Scoil Eoghain in Moville — the note left instructions to contact 100 Redress Councillor Ali Farren who had been alerted to a voter losing their ring in the Inishowen area. Returning Officer Kevin Martin has found the first miraculous medal of the Meath East count. He says that in keeping with tradition, one has been found in a ballot box from Ashbourne #GE24 pic.twitter.com/qbu2FlpKCa A returning officer in Co Meath made a ‘miraculous’ discovery while working at a counting centre in the Meath East constituency earlier today after the first religious charm of the year made its way into a ballot box. Miraculous medals are usually small round necklace-type pieces of jewellery showing an image of the Virgin Mary. They have been inserted into ballot boxes with voting cards as part of an old Irish custom, only to be discovered when the votes are counted. Perhaps most shocking of today’s mishaps was that 5,000 votes were forgotten in the final tally for Co Waterford this evening. New Ross Standard journalist Jessica O’Connor took to X to explain that there was some confusion among volunteers in the Waterford count centre after it emerged that 5,000 extra votes were to be added to the final tally. Explaining the mishap, Ms O’Connor wrote: ‘Lots of confusion and a bit of a scramble here in #Waterford as an additional 5,000 votes are to be added to the final tally. They were somehow missed... Lots of confusion and a bit of a scramble here in #Waterford as an additional 5,000 votes are to be added to the final tally. They were somehow missed... 🧐 #GeneralElection2024 #GE24 pic.twitter.com/vBHILTbAA3 ‘To clarify, they were missed on the tally, not the returning officer,’ she added. The Waterford constituency consists of four seats and includes urban centres such as Waterford City, Dungarvan and Tramore, sporting a population of over 127,000 people. A total of 15 candidates are running for election in the Southeastern constituency among them Mary Butler of Fianna Fáil, John Cummins of Fine Gael and David Cullinane of Sinn Féin, who was the first to be elected.One of the key drivers behind the modest increase in China's trade performance is the steady recovery of the global economy. As major economies gradually reopen and resume economic activities, the demand for Chinese goods and services has rebounded, supporting the country's export growth. Additionally, China's proactive measures to enhance trade facilitation and promote market openness have also contributed to the positive momentum in trade.
