However, he noted that this process was happening too slowly.

    Trump's Trade War with Canada

    Former Canadian Prime Minister Harper criticizes Trump's trade war with Canada, stating that it was a difficult but necessary decision. An expert, Ed Gresser, explains that Trump's actions are driven by a personal animosity towards Canada, despite the fact that Canada has not behaved aggressively towards the U.S. The trade war has negatively impacted industries on both sides of the border, with the U.S. auto industry and Canadian metals industry being particularly affected. The damage to the sense of common destiny and trust between the U.S. and Canada is significant and may be difficult to repair.

    Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, has been tweeting about the impact of the Hormuz Strait and Bab el-Mandeb on US inflation expectations. He argues that the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, such as interest rate hikes, will be ineffective in managing inflation as long as these strategic waterways remain at risk.
