President Trump’s sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China aim to bolster American industry, but critics warn of rising costs and strained relations.

President Donald Trump has doubled down on his tariff policy in 2025, implementing sweeping new trade measures that are already sparking intense debate.

Under his plan, the U.S. is imposing a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy resources.

The administration argues these tariffs will pressure foreign governments to crack down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking while revitalizing American manufacturing.

“They’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes, and we think it’s going to be extremely successful,” Trump said, defending the move as a necessary step to protect American jobs and economic independence.

Supporters believe the tariffs will level the playing field, reducing reliance on cheap foreign imports and encouraging businesses to invest in U.S. production.

However, critics warn of unintended consequences, including rising costs for consumers and potential retaliation from trading partners.

Economists also caution that long-term trade disruptions could hurt industries reliant on foreign materials, while escalating tensions with major allies.

With these tariffs now in effect, all eyes are on how global markets and American businesses respond in the coming months.

Will Trump’s aggressive trade stance spark economic growth, or will it lead to new challenges for U.S. consumers and industries?

Vick Tipnes, the CEO of Blackstone medical services joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.

Meta’s AI glasses launch stumbles with demo failures, raising doubts about the technology’s readiness and future integration.

Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled Meta’s first so-called AI glasses, promising a crisp high-resolution display and futuristic wristband controls. But what should have been a triumph quickly turned awkward.

The $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display was billed as a breakthrough, yet the much-hyped live demo stumbled. The glasses ignored instructions during a cooking demonstration, and Zuckerberg’s Neural Band failed to answer a call from his CTO, forcing a clumsy workaround on stage.

Zuckerberg blamed WiFi issues, but the misfires raised doubts over whether Meta’s glasses are ready for prime time. For now, the vision of seamlessly blending AI with everyday eyewear seems more promise than reality.

Trump claims Kimmel’s suspension due to ratings, while Democrats call it an attack on free speech amid political tensions.

Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air because of poor ratings, as Democrats accuse the move of being an attack on free speech.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, a late-night staple since 2003 on Disney-owned ABC, was suddenly suspended after the host criticised Trump’s response to the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The outspoken comedian, a frequent critic of Trump, mocked the former president’s reaction, sparking outrage among ABC’s local affiliates who pulled the show from their schedules.
