Kyiv tonight.
Amid explosions and russian attacks, people lean out of their windows shouting: “Usyk! Usyk! Usyk!” “Slava Ukraini!” “Heroiam slava!”
A city refusing to let fear become its only voice.
It's funny how so many people suddenly concerned about civilian casualties and de-escalation were silent when the ayatollahs were slaughtering Iranians by the thousand just a few weeks ago.
Syria 🇸🇾: celebrations at the Clock Tower in Homs as president Trump claims to have killed Iranian dictator Ali Khamenei.
For 15 years Iranian militants destroyed, occupied, and terrorized this city and its people.
PM Carney on Iran: "Canada's position on the developments in the ME remains clear. Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the ME. It has one of the world's worst human rights records and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons."
@Bruce_Baker360 Congratulations on your time in the OYL. It's been a great pleasure having you as a friend and I'm looking forward to what you'll get up to next!
Warmest congratulations to @MarkJCarney and the entire Canadian people on Canada Day. This day celebrates a nation that has become a shining example of unity, democracy, and the defense of freedom.
Throughout its history, Canada has become home to many Ukrainians, who today form one of the most influential Ukrainian diasporas in the world.
Canada stands with Ukraine in our most difficult times, providing financial and defense assistance, humanitarian support, and playing a vital role in ramping up pressure on Russia through sanctions.
We are deeply grateful to all Canadians for this unwavering commitment and valuable contribution. Together, we are stronger. Together, we stand for the values that unite our nations.
Happy Canada Day!
I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. It was a good and substantive conversation covering many important topics.
I congratulated him on his assumption of office and thanked Canada for its assistance, particularly for the defense packages and support of our energy sector.
The Prime Minister made the right points about how we need to step up pressure on Moscow. The shadow fleet, the banking sector. We must impose all-out sanctions on everything that provides Russia with funding for its war. Only then can we force Putin to a just and lasting peace.
We also discussed the humanitarian aspect of security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes rebuilding our country and supporting the economy after the war ends. We will work on this.
We touched upon the Ukrainian agenda during Canada’s G7 presidency. We will continue interacting in various formats and at different levels to make our cooperation even more meaningful and practical.
Additionally, we discussed the development of bilateral relations between our countries. Canada is interested in military-industrial and defense cooperation. Throughout this war, we have gained significant experience in the production of EW systems, long-range missiles, and drones. Ukraine is ready for joint production.
Thank you for the support, and I look forward to productive cooperation.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced Tuesday that Mexico will impose retaliatory taxes on U.S. goods.
She added that the products that will be targeted will be announced on Sunday in a public event in Mexico City’s central plaza.
Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin -- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight ... Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."
Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country is at stake.
Unless President Trump pulls back tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada, starting at midnight, the President’s horrible sales tax will apply to all hardworking Coloradans. Trump’s tariffs are costly sales taxes that will raise the price of groceries, clothes, homes, technology, cars, and everyday items Americans rely on, hurting North American competitiveness. President Trump is playing chicken with people’s pocketbooks, small businesses, and our economy, and it is harmful. While Colorado is pushing ahead to lower costs, the President’s tariffs alone will cause economic devastation across America.
President Trump's suspension of military aid to Ukraine is a callous and cruel decision that will cost Ukrainian lives and further embolden the thugs in the Kremlin. #StandWithUkraine
