People seeking asylum at the US border will face stricter limits after the US Supreme Court revived a policy that caps daily applications. This decision overturns a lower court order that had blocked the practice, making it harder for migrants to seek protection in the United States. For readers in Canada with family or connections seeking to enter the US, this marks a return to more restrictive entry rules.
Canada’s involvement in international security and the NATO alliance was the focus of a "long discussion" between Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump. The leaders discussed the American-Israeli war with Iran as a key deadline looms, though they did not address trade issues. The talks come amid escalating tensions and a feud between the US President and his own Senate over war powers.
Canada will provide $5 million in humanitarian aid to Venezuela following a series of devastating earthquakes. The funds are designated for emergency relief efforts to assist those affected by the natural disaster.
