Major Global Events

Famine in Gaza:

A global authority on food crises has officially declared a famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, warning that it's a "man-made disaster" that could spread. This has led to international condemnation and calls for immediate action. Israel's defense minister has stated that the city will be destroyed unless Hamas releases all hostages.

Trade and Tariffs:

Canada has announced it will remove retaliatory tariffs on many U.S. goods, a move aimed at easing trade tensions. This follows recent discussions and a larger geopolitical shake-up, including a potential trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict:

Russia has launched a major aerial attack on Ukraine, striking an American electronics factory. This comes amid diplomatic efforts for a peace deal, with U.S. President Trump threatening sanctions if no progress is made. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has stated that China cannot be a security guarantor in any peace deal.
