Mexico and Canada are not on the list as US will continue to exempt USMCA-compliant goods.
For Canada and Mexico, the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders remain in effect, and are unaffected by this order. This means USMCA compliant goods will continue to see a 0% tariff, non-USMCA compliant goods will see a 25% tariff, and non-USMCA compliant energy and potash will see a 10% tariff. In the event the existing fentanyl/migration IEEPA orders are terminated, USMCA compliant goods would continue to receive preferential treatment, while non-USMCA compliant goods would be subject to a 12% reciprocal tariff.

The nation that first achieves commercial-scale fusion will control a critical pillar of the global economy. U.S. senators and fusion experts are calling for a $10 billion federal investment to maintain leadership, but with government downsizing under Trump’s second term, future funding remains uncertain. If China wins the fusion race, it could dominate the future energy market, much as it has with solar panels, electric vehicle batteries, and rare earth minerals.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) army, navy, air force and rocket force are involved in the drills, which seek to "close in" on the self-ruled island from "multiple directions" and practice maneuvers including "assault on maritime and ground targets” and “blockade on key areas and sea lanes."
"I see he’s trying to back out of the rare earth deal. And if he does that, he’s got some problems. Big, big problems," Trump earlier told reporters aboard Air Force One. "We made a deal on rare earth and now he’s saying, ‘well, you know, I want to renegotiate the deal.’"

Archer was involved in several companies with Hunter Biden before being charged in a fraud scheme that targeted Native Americans and pension funds. He was convicted in 2018.

In a post on Facebook, the General Staff said the accusations were "baseless," and part of a "discrediting campaign against Ukraine...The mentioned station was repeatedly shelled by the Russians themselves."

Prosecutors accused Imamoglu, from the secular Republican People’s Party (CHP), of corruption and aiding a terrorist group, calling him a “criminal organization leader suspect”. He denounced the move as politically-motivated just as he was preparing to formally announce his intention to run.
