03.02.2025 โข Trade War Waves Break On British Shore
โจTrump's trade war escalated through morning hours as Mexico, Canada, and China announced retaliatory measures, causing Asian and European markets to slump.

By afternoon, Mexico secured a one-month pause after agreeing to deploy 10,000 troops to its northern border. Canada followed with its own negotiated pause, while canceling a $100m deal with Musk. Markets continued falling as EU leaders called for US cooperation.
Daniel Khalife received a 14-year sentence for spying and prison escape. A tragic stabbing at a Sheffield school resulted in a 15-year-old's death, with another teenager arrested. Prince Louis emerged as royal photographer, releasing a portrait of Princess Catherine for World Cancer Day.
