Number 1: The world leader saying no to President Trump
The United States was scheduled to impose new 50 percent tariffs on Canada, hitting about $20 billion worth of goods. But then, about a week ago, President Trump took to Truth Social to exclaim — with capital letters and exclamation points — that Canada and the U.S. had reached a trade deal. That deal, it turned out, was not final. Three days later, Canada walked away from the negotiating table. Trump then imposed the new tariffs he’d originally promised on many Canadian products. And to threaten even more tariffs on Canadian autos. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada won’t back down — and promised to match U.S. tariffs quote “dollar for dollar.” But what’s the view from inside his country, and who is going to pay the price?

Number 5: Is President Trump changing the rules-based world order?
For years, President Trump has been openly criticizing multilateral organizations like NATO and the United Nations.
