346: Expat News: Trump’s Tariffs, Canada’s New PM, UK Bans “Ninja Swords”


Listen Later

Trump’s global tariff plan, a surprise shakeup in Canadian leadership, and a crackdown on citizenship programs are just a few of the major stories my co-host and resident newsman Marc Clair and I tackle in this latest edition of Expat News. 
After a whirlwind start to the year, we’re back in the newsroom format to bring you the hard truths behind the headlines—and why they matter for freedom-minded individuals like you.
This week’s episode is packed with insights that go way beyond the mainstream narrative. Whether you’re already living abroad or in the process of crafting your Plan-B, these are the geopolitical and policy shifts you need to stay ahead of.
 
TODAY’S EDITION OF EXPAT NEWS:
  • Listen in as Marc and I break down Trump’s bizarre new tariff proposal—why it’s economically incoherent and how it will raise your cost of living almost immediately.
  • Tune in to hear us discuss Canada’s sudden change in leadership and why Mark Carney’s installment as Prime Minister is even scarier than the Trudeau regime.
  • Get the inside scoop on why BlackRock’s deal for Panama Canal port control may have been secretly blocked by China... and why that’s not necessarily bad news.
  • Find out how the UK’s latest “solution” to knife crime—banning ninja swords—completely misses the mark on what’s really causing violence in Britain.
  • Discover why the EU’s biometric visa system has been delayed yet again—and why that delay is a small win for liberty-minded travellers.
  • Learn how Italy’s proposed limits on Citizenship by Descent could disqualify millions of people from obtaining Italian citizenship.
  • Uncover why Brussels is threatening to revoke visa-free access to Schengen for Caribbean CBI holders.
  • Hear my take on the Vanuatu CBI program— and why claims it has been suspended are misleading.
