The escalating trade war between Canada and the United States has reached a critical bottleneck, with US officials warning that Canada’s short-term political maneuvering is not sustainable.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's new critical infrastructure decree is facing an immediate test following a devastating Ukrainian drone strike on a major Wildberries logistics center in the Tambov region.
