Google Maps will change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America

Google is complying with President Donald Trump's executive action that renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Soon, the name change will appear on Google Maps. In a post on X, Google explained that it has a "longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources." The name will be tweaked when the Geographic Names Information System, a government database of names and location data, is updated. Google is complying with President Donald Trump's executive action. (CNN) Google will also change the name of Mount McKinley, the nation's highest peak, from Denali. Former President Barack Obama renamed the Alaska landmark to Denali in 2015 as a nod to the region's native population. Both changes stem...

Trump says he’s spoken with Putin as Russia’s war in Ukraine approaches third anniversary

US President Donald Trump has announced in an interview that he has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "He wants to see people stop dying," Trump told the New York Post. It was not immediately clear when the leaders spoke or if they had spoken since Trump took office in January, and how many times. Trump said in the interview he "better not say" how many times he had spoken with Putin but touted a "good relationship" with his Russian counterpart. The US president expressed hope that Putin's war in Ukraine, which is approaching its third anniversary, ends "fast." He had previously vowed to end the conflict within 24 hours of taking office. "I hope it's fast. Every day people are dying. This war is so bad in Ukraine. I want to end this damn thing,"...

Investigators probe fatal Alaska plane crash as crews push to recover wreckage before inclement weather

Recovery crews worked amid freezing temperatures and slushy sea ice Friday to recover the remaining victims aboard a regional airline flight that crashed off the coast of western Alaska. The small commuter aircraft carrying nine passengers and one pilot took off from Unalakleet on Thursday afternoon before disappearing. The plane was later found on Friday about 54 kilometres southeast of Nome, the flight's intended destination, according to the US Coast Guard. All 10 on board were declared dead.

What do Trump’s executive orders say on tariffs and how would they work?

With a trio of executive orders, US President Donald Trump has almost instantly thrown the world economy and his own goal of cutting inflation into turmoil. His tariffs against Canada and Mexico in order to stop illegal immigration and the illicit fentanyl trade led to retaliatory taxes by both countries on US imports. He placed an additional 10 per cent tariff on imports from China with the stated goal of stopping the production of fentanyl. A trade war is looming between the US, Canada, and Mexico. (AP) But on a deeper level, Trump suddenly hit the US economy with tax increases that, if sustained, could total more than US$1 trillion ($1.61 trillion) in 10 years. He did so without congressional approval and by his own acknowledgement at the perilous chance of ...

Trump’s tariffs are a $2.25 trillion gamble with the economy and prices

US President Donald Trump is on the verge of hitting America's three biggest trading partners with sweeping tariffs, a far more aggressive use of his favourite economic weapon than anything he did during his first term. The looming import taxes on Mexico, Canada and China will be a major test of Trump's unorthodox use of tariffs, which he's described as "the greatest thing ever invented". It's an enormous gamble, arguably a bigger one than any economic policy Trump enacted during his four-plus years in the White House. And this strategy has the potential to upend the thing many voters care about the most: the economy and the cost of living.

Marco Rubio says Panama must reduce Chinese influence around the canal or face possible US action

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino on Sunday that the Central American ally must immediately reduce Chinese influence over the Panama Canal area or face potential retaliation from the Trump administration. Rubio, on his first foreign trip as America's top diplomat, held face-to-face talks with Mulino, who has resisted pressure from the new US government over Panama's management of a waterway that is vital to global trade. Mulino told reporters after the meeting that Rubio made "no real threat of retaking the canal or the use of force." Panama's President Jose Mulino, left, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
