Trump is undergoing his annual physical after years of reluctance to share medical information

Donald Trump is undergoing his annual physical on Friday, potentially giving the public its first details in years about the health of a man who in January became the oldest in US history to be sworn in as president. "I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!" Trump, 78, posted on his social media site of the examination which was being conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington. Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Biden's physical and mental capacity, Trump has routinely kept basic facts about his own health shrouded in secrecy — shying away from traditional presidential transparency on medical issues.

‘Reset global trade’: Trump officials double down on tariffs as global markets plummet

Top Trump administration officials are offering mixed messaging on the possibility of negotiations on the president's newly announced tariffs, framing the move as a necessary economic reset and downplaying severe market volatility and uncertainty. President Donald Trump has long cast himself as a dealmaker — and has left the door open to cutting tariff deals with countries. But messaging from his top economic lieutenants Sunday painted a murkier picture about the possibility of relief. Trump last week announced tariffs of at least 10 per cent across all countries, with rates going even higher for 60 countries deemed the "worst offenders." The universal 10 per cent rate went into effect Saturday, while the customized rates will take effect Wednesday. President Don...

The Arctic is in trouble. The consequences will be felt around the world

The Arctic has long filled humans with awe, but there are now profoundly worrying signals coming from the frozen landscape at the top of our planet, and scientists are deeply concerned about its future as the Trump administration pulls the US out of global climate strategy and guts its science agencies. Last month was extreme: Temperatures in parts of the Arctic spiked 20 Celsius above normal. By the end of the month, sea ice was at its lowest level ever recorded for February, marking the third straight month of record lows. This follows a year of concerning signs from the region, including intense wildfires and thawing permafrost pumping out planet-heating pollution. Icebergs drift in calm seas off the Greenland coast.

Russia attacks Ukraine’s energy supplies as US cuts its access to satellite images

Russia attacked Ukrainian energy facilities with dozens of missiles and drones during the night, officials said, hobbling the country's ability to deliver heat and light to its citizens and to power weapons factories vital to its defences. The overnight barrage — which also pounded residences and wounded at least 10 people — came days after the US suspended military aid and intelligence to Ukraine to pressure it into accepting a peace deal being pushed by the Trump administration. Without US intelligence, Ukraine's ability to strike inside Russia and defend itself from bombardment is significantly diminished. The US government said it halted Ukrainian access to unclassified satellite images that had been used to help it fight back against Russia. Firefighters put out t...

European leaders pledge to stand by Ukraine after confrontational Oval Office meeting with Trump

European leaders pledged to stand by Ukraine in the wake of the contentious Oval Office meeting between US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with their statements in support of their neighbor on the continent ensuring a deepening transatlantic rift. European leaders already were shaken by Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference two weeks ago in which he lectured them about the state of their democracy. As prime ministers and presidents across the continent scrambled to respond, they have held a series of emergency summits to discuss security. Another major summit is scheduled for Sunday in London, hosted by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. More than a dozen European and EU leaders, including Zelenskyy, will gath...
