President-elect Donald Trump has stirred controversy this week with his pledge to impose new tariffs on imports from the United States' top trading partners: Canada, China, and Mexico. Earlier this week, Trump announced plans to implement a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada, alongside a 10% tariff on Chinese products. This marks Trump's first major tariff promise since his election, signaling a tough approach to trade with these countries. He stated that, upon taking office, he would sign executive orders to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada, maintaining that the tariffs would remain in place until the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl into the U.S. was stopped. "This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!" Trump wrote. Canada: The biggest surprise Trump’s hard-line stance on China, which conservatives view as a threat to U.S. economic and national security, comes as no surprise. Similarly, his criticism of Mexico is rooted in long-standing concerns over immigration and border security. But what’s less expected is the inclusion of Canada, the U.S.'s northern neighbor, in this tariff plan. While it’s possible that these tariff threats are part of a broader negotiation strategy, there has been a notable uptick in border apprehensions in recent months. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, arrests at the U.S.-Canada border surged from 10,021in the 12-month period ending September 2023, to 23,721 in the following year. Immigration has been one of Trump’s signature issues since his 2016 campaign, and his tough stance on border security continues to resonate with his political base. In response to Trump's remarks, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the concerns within his own country, emphasizing the ongoing strong ties between the U.S. and Canada. “We talked about how the intense and effective connections between our two countries flow back and forth,” Trudeau said, noting that both nations could collaborate on addressing shared challenges. If these tariffs are enacted, the impact could be significant. Canada exports about 77% of its goods to the U.S., according to the Toronto Region Board of Trade, meaning that such measures could have far-reaching economic consequences for both countries.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump have led the heartfelt messages to the beloved former president whose death was confirmed by his family earlier today. Carter, the oldest president in history , and the only one to become a centenarian, has been survived by five other American commander-in-chiefs who have all left touching homages to the great man. President-elect Donald Trump remembered Carter for his leadership and urged Americans to keep the late president's loved ones in their " hearts and prayers". Trump wrote on Truth Social: "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. "For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude. "Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time." He later posted a second statement which acknowledged the pair's political and philosophical differences but praised Carter's clear love for America. "He truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for," Trump added. "He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect. "He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed. He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office." The man Trump is set to replace in the White House in just a few weeks time in Joe Biden described Carter as an "extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian". The fellow Democrat and close friend posted the loving tribute alongside his wife Jill. They said: "Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend." "He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism. We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together." Joe, 82, has now taken on the title as the oldest living president following the passing of Carter. Barack Obama - the youngest living American leader - commended the late humanitarian with his wife Michelle. They said: "Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away — buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels. "Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man." Former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary also praised Carter's commitment to service. They praised him for his "long and good life" and applauded his belief in faith and selflessness. The final remaining president, George W. Bush, joined his wife Laura to call Carter “a man of deeply held convictions” who “dignified the office ". US vice president Kamala Harris made a similar statement praising Carter's "deep and abiding faith in God, America and in humanity". “He reminded our nation and the world that there is strength in decency and compassion," she continued. "I had the privilege of knowing President Carter for years. I will always remember his kindness, wisdom, and profound grace." Tributes to the statesman even came from overseas as the UK's Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer lauded Carter's service. The British PM said he “redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad”. King Charles III also described the former US president as a “committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace”. Sir Tony Blair soon followed with a powerful statement. It read: "Jimmy Carter's life was a testament to public service; from his time in office, and the Camp David Accords, to his remarkable commitment to the cause of people and peace round the world over the past 40 years. "I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. "He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need." Carter , the 39th president of the United States , has died after nearly two years in hospice care. His son Chip Carter confirmed the former president died at his Georgia home on Sunday around 3:45 pm ET. Carter peacefully passed away surrounded by his family who paid an emotional tribute to the former leader. His son Chip said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. "The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Public events will commemorate Carter in Atlanta and Washington, D.C. and a state funeral will be held, The Carter Center confirmed. The former president decided to live out the remainder of his days at his home in Plains, Georgia . Carter, the beloved Democrat and Nobel Peace Prize winner, had experienced several health issues in recent years including melanoma that spread to his liver and brain. He became the longest-living president and the first to make it 100 years old. Carter's death came over a year after the death of his wife, Rosalynn Carter , who died on November 19, 2023, at age 96. Two days before her death, Rosalynn joined her husband in hospice care at their home in Georgia. The former first lady and fierce advocate for mental health was diagnosed with dementia in early 2023. Before his death, Jimmy Carter was the first to pay tribute to his wife of 77 years, "Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished. "She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me."
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean legislative push to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law fell through on Saturday after most lawmakers from his conservative governing party boycotted the vote. The defeat of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. Impeaching Yoon required support from two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members. The opposition parties who brought the impeachment motion had 192 seats, but only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn’t reach 200. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Most ruling party lawmakers were boycotting a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority sought by the opposition to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law , as protests grew nationwide calling for his removal. The likely defeat of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing presidency to liberals. Impeaching Yoon would require support from two-thirds of the National Assembly, or 200 of its 300 members. The opposition parties who brought the impeachment motion have 192 seats, meaning they need at least eight additional votes from Yoon’s People Power Party. The opposition-controlled parliament began a vote earlier Saturday, but only three lawmakers from PPP took part with opposition members. If the number of lawmakers who cast ballots doesn’t reach 200, the motion will be scrapped at midnight without the ballot counting, according to the National Assembly. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. There are worries that Yoon won’t be able to serve out his remaining 2 1/2 years in office because his leadership took a huge hit. Many experts say some ruling party lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik urged ruling party members to return to the chamber to participate in the vote, stressing that it was closely watched by the nation and also the world. “Don’t make a shameful judgment and please vote based on your convictions,” Woo said. Democratic Party leaders visited a hall on the floor below the main chamber where PPP lawmakers were gathered, attempting to persuade them to vote. After being blocked from entering, they angrily accused the conservatives' leadership of preventing its lawmakers from voting freely. Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued a public apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose martial law. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The turmoil resulting from Yoon’s bizarre and poorly-thought-out stunt has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon’s martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. Yoon’s speech fueled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon’s early exit from office. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party, told reporters that Yoon’s speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon’s martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” The passage of Yoon’s impeachment motion appeared more likely Friday when the chair of Yoon’s party called for his removal on Friday, but the party remained formally opposed to impeachment. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people densely packed several blocks of roads leading up to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing and singing along to K-pop songs with lyrics changed to call for Yoon’s ouster. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP’s headquarters near the Assembly, angrily shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon’s supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied in separate streets in Seoul, decrying the impeachment attempt they saw as unconstitutional. Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife. Some lawmakers from Yoon’s party were seen leaving the hall after that vote, triggering angry shouts from opposition lawmakers. On Friday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, who criticized Yoon’s martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country’s defense counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians. The targeted politicians included Han, Lee and Woo, according to Kim Byung-kee, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. The Defense Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders including the head of the defense counterintelligence unit over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly after Yoon imposed martial law. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim resigned Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.

The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Lere Olayinka, has challenged social media activists alleging land grabbing against the Minister to show evidence. Olayinka noted that the people have been using cyberspace to peddle falsehoods against the Minister. He said that the amount of time the critics committed to their trade in stocks would have been enough to do proper investigations to come up with evidence on the matters they were making baseless allegations. The Aide said, “Referring to a recent video being circulated on land located Life Camp, particularly Plot No. 2241, Gwarimpa District, Cadastral Zone C02, Abuja, the FCT Minister’s Spokesperson challenged those claiming ownership of the land to provide Right of Occupancy or Certificate of Occupancy granted by the FCTA. “A construction company, Paulosa Nigeria Limited occupied the land as a temporary office, under a Temporary Right of Occupancy arrangement granted in 1984 (40 years ago). “For 36 years, the company occupied the land, built permanent structures on it and rented them out without any approval from the government. “On November 18, 2020, after occupying the land for 36 years without approval, Paulosa Nigeria Limited applied to the then Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, for the conversion of the Temporary Right of Occupancy to a Statutory Right of Occupancy. “On February 1, 2023, approval was granted to Paulosa Nigeria Limited for a Statutory Right of Occupancy, subject to certain terms and conditions. “Some of the terms and conditions are; payment of Ground Rent Per Square Meter Per Annum, which was N50K/m2 from 2022 to 2023, amounting to N2,332,143; payment of Premium of N500/m2, amounting to N11,660,715 and payment of Ground Rent from 1984 to 2021 (37 years), amounting to N43,144,645. “However, for 20 months, Paulosa Nigeria Limited refused to comply with the terms and conditions for the approval. “Consequent upon the failure of Paulosa Nigeria Limited to comply with the terms and conditions for approval granted for a Right of Occupancy on the said land, the approval was revoked on October 10, 2024, more than 20 months after it was given. “From the above, it should be clear that Paulosa Nigeria Limited never at any time, owned the land. “For instance, if a student who was offered admission to a university, refused to pay the fees stipulated in the offer of admission, and fulfil other terms and conditions for the admission, can the student have any claim to the studentship of the university?”

IOWA CITY — Iowa hosts Nebraska in Black Friday’s Heroes Game with the Huskers above the six-win bowl eligibility plateau for the first time since 2016. Nebraska (6-5, 3-5 Big Ten) beat Wisconsin, 44-25, on Saturday, ending a four-game losing streak and the longest stretch without a bowl appearance (7 years) among Power 5 programs. Iowa's Zach VanValkenburg hoists the Heroes Trophy after defeating Nebraska on Friday. Hawkeye head coach Kirk Ferentz sees the victory and opportunity to participate in a bowl game as clear evidence of the Huskers “turning the corner” under second-year head coach Matt Rhule. “Nebraska is coming off a really good home win against Wisconsin,” Ferentz said. “(They are) playing really well. Made them bowl eligible ... It is a credit to Coach Rhule, his staff, his players, for the job they did in two short years.” Iowa (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten) previously dashed Big Red’s bowl hopes in 2023, Rhule’s first season, and 2019, beating Nebraska in Lincoln 13-10 and 27-24 to drop them from 5-6 to 5-7. Each of the previous six meetings between the two programs ended with a margin of victory within one score. “It is going to be a big challenge for us,” Ferentz said. “I know they are coming in her with confidence. We will have to be at our best Friday to be ready to go.” Ahead of Friday’s matchup, the 14 th meeting as Big Ten foes, Ferentz praised the construction of the Huskers’ roster. “(They have) done a good job of putting the team together, whether guys that were there, guys they recruited and guys in the transfer portal,” Ferentz said. Nebraska’s personnel reflect two different extremes on each side of the ball with an incredibly veteran defense and particularly youthful offense at key spots. On defense, Ferentz said the Huskers’ quality roster starts up front with fifth-year senior Nash Hutmacher and sixth-year senior Ty Robinson. “(They are) really aggressive on defense,” Ferentz said. “They have two defensive tackles that feel like they have been there forever. I think they have been there four or five years. Both have started a lot of games. They are showing it. They are strong and aggressive, really tough guys. That is really tough to block those guys inside.” According to Iowa offensive lineman Mason Richman, Ferentz highlighted Robinson and Hutmacher early in the week. “I know, when they wear the single digit, it means they are a pretty good player on the team,” Richman said. “They are really physical. We just have to limit them from getting going. We have had a couple good duels these past two years.” Ferentz also made note of the secondary, especially fifth-year senior Isaac Gifford. “They play a lot of people,” Ferentz said. “Their safeties are all good. They play three of them. No. 2 looks to be the leader. He is a really good football player on top of it.” Offensively, Ferentz picked out Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola, the No. 7 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class, and wide receiver Jacory Barney. “Quarterback is an outstanding player,” Ferentz said. “I cannot imagine there is a better freshman quarterback in the country. No. 17, receiver, return guy, is a true freshman as well. Really good, outstanding football players, very dynamic. “They have a good offensive football team, good at the skill positions, big, have some experience up front.” Defensive lineman Yahya Black described the contest as “old school, big time football.” “Nose-to-nose, maybe a little blood, but just pure violence and that is what it is going to be,” Black said. “It is just going to be a whole fight.” He also said it is important to generate pressure on Raiola. “Not just him, but any quarterback,” Black said. “Pressure — not even just sacks — but pressure on a quarterback makes a big difference in the game.” In 11 games, Raiola leads Big Ten freshmen with 2,405 passing yards and 12 touchdown with 10 interceptions. Although Cade McNamara and Brendan Sullivan returned to practice on Monday and Tuesday, Kirk Ferentz said he hopes to roll with one quarterback against Nebraska on Friday — Jackson Stratton.

12 Predictions For 2025 That Will Shape Our Future
Royal Caribbean has been on a mission to make the painful parts of cruising easier. It has done that in lots of little ways, like making it slightly easier to both log on to ship WiFi and switch your internet service between devices. That's just a sort of incremental improvement, but making something happen near automatically that used to take a few clicks does count as an improvement. Add in lots of small improvements, and the overall cruise experience will get markedly better. Royal Caribbean also offers "Express" check-in lanes at some terminals. These allow passengers who have completed all of their pre-boarding items properly to board the ship faster. Related: Royal Caribbean makes key decision on Labadee, Haiti port Not everyone qualifies and it's only being used on select sailings, but if you get Express, you do get onboard faster. Once onboard, the improvements will keep coming. Royal Caribbean recently made it so people who buy dining packages can book their reservations before they get on the ship. That solves two problems. First, anyone with a dining package no longer has to stand in line on embarkation day (the day the ship sails) to make multiple lunch and dinner reservations. Second, because those people aren't in line taking 15-20 minutes to make all those bookings, people who want a reservation or two face much shorter lines. But, the cruise line's biggest improvement has to be the new elevator system being used on Icon of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas. These elevators don't have buttons. Instead, passengers input their desired floor on keypads near the elevator, and they are given a letter that corresponds to which elevator they should take, Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. Image source: Daniel Kline/TheStreet Royal Caribbean's elevators are just the beginning While elevators seem like a small thing, the new system is actually a major improvement to the onboard experience. Passengers no longer have to jockey for position to board an elevator during crowded times. In addition, the new system generally makes no more than two stops. That prevents you from being in a full elevator that stops on every floor where the person in the back is always the one who needs to get out. It also eliminates the experience of having a kid push every button the second their parent isn't looking. Fixing the elevator experience was something Royal Caribbean prioritized with the launch of Icon of the Seas. At a media event on that ship, the cruise line's CEO talked a little bit about the process of launching the new elevators. More Royal Caribbean: "We were obsessively focused...We know a lot about the flow of people. We know a lot about how to create a delightful experience that also moves people around," he said, We were really nervous about them.:" Despite those early jitters, Bayley has been pleased with the elevator, which will be part of Star of the Seas, the next Icon-class ship, and seemingly all Royal Caribbean ships going forward. "We've been delighted with the elevator lobbies," he added. Be the first to see the best deals on cruises, special sailings, and more. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter. Royal Caribbean wants to fix cabin entry Currently, Royal Caribbean passengers use their SeaPass card (a plastic room key) to enter their cabins. Select ships also allow people to buy special bracelets that can serve as door keys. SeaPass cards, however, are easily lost or forgotten. Many people wear them on lanyards, or carry them in a purse or wallet. It's easy to forget yours by the pool, leave it at a bar, or forget it in a machine in the casino on ships that use that system to log play. Star of the Seas will be testing a new facial recognition technology that will make it possible to use your face as your room key. "Star of the Seas will be the first cruise ship to embrace facial recognition as a way to make it easier to get to your cabin," wrote Matt Hochberg on The Royal Caribbean Blog . ALSO READ: Top travel agents share how to get the best price on your cruise This will be a pilot with a small number of cabins, at least at first. Royal Caribbean filed a patent on this technology in Nov. In the filing, the cruise line said it planned to use facial recognition to unlock cabins but also could be used for other functions onboard as well. Anyone who has gotten back to their cabin and realizes their key is either inside or lost somewhere on the ship will appreciate this option. That's especially true during times when Guest Services, the place where you go to get a new key, is busy. Currently, many US cruise ports use facial recognition when ships arrive instead of making people show their physical passports. Are you taking a cruise or thinking about taking one?

NoneSir Keir Starmer has led a host of tributes to former US president Jimmy Carter, saying he “redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad”. The Prime Minister said Mr Carter, who died aged 100, will be remembered for the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, as well as his “decades of selfless public service”. He added that it was the Democrat’s “lifelong dedication to peace” that led to him receiving the Nobel Peace prize in 2002. Sir Keir was joined in paying tribute to the 39th president by other leaders including the King, current President Joe Biden, Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey and former PM Tony Blair. The King remembered former US president Jimmy Carter’s 1977 visit to the UK with “great fondness” and praised his “dedication and humility”. In a message to Mr Biden and the American people, Charles said: “It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of President Carter. “He was a committed public servant, and devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights. “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Biden said that Mr Carter was an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said his fellow Democrat was a “dear friend”, as he announced that he will order a state funeral to be held for him in Washington DC. “Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian,” he said. “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter though is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. He saved, lifted and changed the lives of people all across the globe. “He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism.” Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey said Mr Carter “will be remembered for generations”. “Jimmy Carter was an inspiration,” Mr Davey wrote on X. “He led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people. “My thoughts are with his family, friends and all those who loved him. He will be remembered for generations.” Mr Blair said: “Jimmy Carter’s life was a testament to public service; from his time in office, and the Camp David Accords, to his remarkable commitment to the cause of people and peace round the world over the past 40 years,” he said. “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication.
