Is Trump right to point the finger at China over the fentanyl crisis?

Donald Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on China and other countries for failing to stem shipments of drugs to the US. This week, the US president-elect announced he would be slapping 25 per cent tariffs on imports from China, Mexico and Canada when he assumes power. But Trump went a step further with China, singling out the emerging superpower for its role in the US opioid crisis, which is killing thousands of Americans every year. Donald Trump led Republicans to a clean sweep of the House, Senate and the White House. (AP) In a post on his Truth Social site, he said he wants to impose an "an additional 10 per cent tariff" on imports from China until the flow of illicit drugs, particularly fentanyl, dries up. Trump said he has "had many tal...

Airline worker among six arrested in $25 million airport gold heist. Police say it was an inside job

Six people have been arrested in last year's multimillion-dollar gold heist at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, police in Canada and the US said on Wednesday. Police have also issued arrest warrants for three others in what they described as an "inside job." All nine suspects have been charged with over 19 counts. On April 17, 2023, an air cargo container carrying more than $22 million Canadian dollars' ($25 million) worth of gold bars and foreign currency was stolen from a secure storage facility using fake paperwork, police say.

One is now in custody and an arrest warrant ...

More presumed human remains recovered from submersible that imploded, killing 5, Coast Guard says

The Coast Guard has recovered remaining debris, including presumed human remains, from a submersible that imploded on its way to explore the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five onboard, deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean’s surface, officials said Tuesday. The Coast Guard said that the recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, and a photo showed the intact aft titanium endcap of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) vessel. Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan’s debris and transported for analysis by U.S. medical professionals, the Coast Guard said. The salvage mission conducted under an agreement with the U.S. Navy was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600 feet (488 meters) away from the Tita...

Atlantic storm Lee makes landfall in Canada with winds of 70 miles per hour, 1 man killed in Maine

BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — Atlantic storm Lee made landfall at near-hurricane strength Saturday in Nova Scotia, Canada, after bringing destructive winds, rough surf and torrential rains to a large swath of New England and Maritime Canada that toppled trees, swamped coastlines and cut power to tens of thousands. One person was killed in Maine when a tree limb fell on his vehicle. With sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph), the center of the post-tropical cyclone came ashore about 135 miles (215 kilometers) west of Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. That’s about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Eastport, Maine. Lee was expected to weaken as it moves north into New Brunswick and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Its top sustained winds had dro...
