That awkward moment when your war plans leave the group chat

Earlier this week, The Atlantic Editor-In-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg
revealed that top-level White House officials accidentally added
him to a group chat about upcoming war plans. While some
administration staffers initially denied the existence of the
group chat, Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline
Leavitt pivoted to denouncing Goldberg and his publication
instead. Is this blunder big enough to send the administration
into crisis? Or will Trump’s high favorability polling shield the
controversy? 


America’s neighbor to the north also faces political leadership
shakeups. It’s election season in Canada, and the race for the
next prime minister seems to hinge on how the potential PM would
engage with U.S. President Donald Trump. This year’s Canadian
election partially mirrors last year’s American election: a
conservative populist candidate versus a liberal who came in
after the previous leader stepped down. Conservative candidate
Pierre Poilevre had initially polled well, but recent Canadian
polls show a strong aversion to Trump and Trump-lite policies. Is
this enough to change the tides of the Canadian election?


The Canadian-American conflict continues with Trump’s intensive
tariff plans. Trump previously asserted that strict tariffs
against Canada would snuff the fentanyl trade. Is there even
enough fentanyl coming from Canada to back that up? While the
White House sees tariffs as a method to increase U.S.
manufacturing, economists say these moves might hurt American
consumers instead. How effective are Trump’s promises to revive
the American economy?
