25 January,2026 06:01 PM ISTU.S. President Donald Trump has reignited tensions with Canada, launching sharp criticism over Ottawa’s growing engagement with China and its resistance to a proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system extending over Greenland. In a series of statements posted on Truth Social and delivered at global forums including Davos, Trump accused Canada of prioritising economic ties with Beijing at the cost of its own national security.

24 January,2026 04:09 AM ISTFresh concerns are emerging from within Donald Trump’s own family, as his psychologist niece, Mary Trump, raises pointed alarms over what she describes as a visible decline in his self-control, judgment and cognitive stability. In a sharply worded Substack post, Mary Trump draws attention to a pattern of impulsive behaviour, incoherent public remarks and escalating emotional volatility that she says can no longer be ignored. The latest warning follows Trump’s recent appearances, including remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos which Mary Trump characterized as a troubling mix of threats, disjointed messaging, and erratic assertions. According to her analysis, these statements reflect deeper psychological and cognitive concerns rather than isolated political rhetoric. WATCH ... [Read More]

Trump, speaking during high-level discussions on global security and prosperity, claimed that Canada has long benefited disproportionately from American strategic, economic and defense support, questioning Ottawa’s gratitude and alignment. The fallout escalated after Trump announced the withdrawal through a post on Truth Social, framing the decision as a reassessment of U.S. commitments to allies. The move effectively ended Canada’s participation in the high-profile initiative, with Ottawa declining to bear any costs linked to the now-collapsed invitation. WATCH ... [Read More]
23 January,2026 12:59 AM ISTA powerful and far-reaching winter storm is accelerating eastward, placing nearly two-thirds of the United States under escalating weather threats.
