This follows the breakdown of trade talks last week. The talks were between the United States and Canada.

Trump wrote about the tariffs on Truth Social. He said Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years.

He linked the tariffs to Canadian taxes on US farmers. Reports say vehicles built in the United States would face no tariffs. Canadian leaders said the US demands would hurt Canada's auto industry.

SCALP shares British and French technology with the Storm Shadow missile. The transfer aims to help Ukraine build missiles locally with France.

It is not meant as an immediate handover of complete missiles. Burnham will also co-chair a Kyiv meeting.

It is called the Coalition of the Willing. Moscow warned of increased tensions with Britain.

He said the centers help the US stay ahead in AI. But the centers face growing backlash.

Communities worry about their impact. Governors from both political parties have pushed back.

A US judge struck down a Trump visa ban Friday. The ban blocked visas for people from 75 countries.
