Mark Carney says Canadians are not 'impressed' by UK's invite to Trump

WASHINGTON — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canadians were not "impressed" by the UK government's invitation to US President Donald Trump for a second state visit.The newly elected Carney told Sky News that the UK's invitation earlier this year did not help Canadians, who were facing repeat comments from Trump about making Canada the 51st US state."To be frank, [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance," he said. "It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty."Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer invited Trump to come to the UK for a visit during a meeting at the White House in February.Asked whether the invitation was "appropriate", Carney said that was a...

Relief on China's factory floors as US tariffs put on hold

BEIJING — There's a vast empty space in the middle of the factory floor in Foshan in southern China where workers should be welding high-end air fryers for the US market.Derek Wang says his American customers were wowed by his air fryer models — which are controlled via smartphones and can also bake, roast and grill.But then on 2 April, Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs hit all Chinese goods entering the US, eventually reaching 145% — and his clients asked him to pause production."I tried to keep smiling through my anxiety for the sake of my 40 workers," he told the BBC.On Wednesday, as a deal to ease the trade war came into effect, Wang said his US buyers were back on the phone.Both countries still face some tariffs. There is at least a 30% tax on...
