President Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico over the weekend. The tariffs have since been paused. He said he would do the same to the EU. But he suggested a deal with the UK was possible.

NATO chief Mark Rutte said there are always issues between allies, but they won't affect their commitment to Ukraine. He said NATO must keep supporting Ukraine, which will let Ukraine negotiate with Russia from a strong position.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he is now acting head of USAID, which provides billions in aid worldwide.
Democrats called the move "illegal" and "unconstitutional." They say it will hurt poor people and reduce U.S. influence globally.
President Trump and adviser Elon Musk have strongly criticized USAID. Trump claims the agency has "tremendous fraud."
USAID was started in 1961. It has 10,000 employees and a $40 billion budget. Total U.S. foreign aid is $68 billion.
Rubio said some USAID work will continue. But it must align with U.S. foreign policy.
Musk leads an unofficial cost-cutting team. He said the administration plans to close USAID. The agency website went dark, and workers were told to stay home on Monday.

President Donald Trump has delayed new tariffs on Mexican imports. Mexico agreed to send 10,000 troops to the border. The goal is to reduce the flow of illegal drugs.
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum said the deal also includes a U.S. commitment. The U.S. will take steps to limit the flow of guns into Mexico.
Trump had planned a 25% tax on goods from Mexico starting Tuesday and threatened tariffs on Canada and China.
Sheinbaum said she and Trump will evaluate the steps over the first month. They aim to reach an agreement that respects sovereignty.
The key will be whether fewer weapons reduce violence in Mexico. They also want to disrupt drug trafficking.
Sheinbaum said "physical meetings" between U.S. and Mexican officials may...
The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has accused the ruling party of running an illegal voter registration drive. FDC Vice Chairman Robert Centenary claimed on Monday.
He said National Resistance Movement (NRM) agents are working with election officials and allegedly misleading people in rural areas.
Centenary claimed the NRM has unauthorized access to voter lists. He fears this could lead to election fraud in 2026.
He criticized the official registration process as slow and hard to access. Many first-time voters struggle to meet requirements, he said.
"We demand that the Electoral Commission extend voter registration by at least one month. They must get new equipment and stop the NRM's parallel registration," he said.
