Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, aiming to address rising hostilities between the two nations. Carney’s unexpected election win was fueled by growing public anger over Trump’s actions—particularly his call to make Canada the 51st U.S. state and the imposition of harsh tariffs affecting key Canadian industries like auto manufacturing and energy. These moves, widely seen as an attack on Canada’s sovereignty, have fractured a decades-old alliance and sparked a political backlash.

Meanwhile, a U.S. District Judge has ordered the Trump administration to admit 12,000 refugees under a ruling that partially blocks the President’s efforts to halt the refugee admissions program. The administration had pushed to limit entries to just 160. The ruling underscores growing legal and political challenges to Trump’s controversial immigration policies.
