Tariffs On Canadian Planes: Trump announced yesterday he would decertify all Canadian planes and threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on any sold to the United States, due to Canada’s failure to certify multiple types of U.S. jets. There are more than five thousand Canadian aircraft in regular use in the United States; unnamed industry officials told the New York Times that federal regulators had clarified to them that Trump’s directive referred only to new aircraft.

The European Union (EU) announced new sanctions on Iran and designated its paramilitary guard a terrorist organization, the latest global pushback to Tehran’s crackdown on anti-regime protesters. More than six thousand people are confirmed to have been killed in countrywide demonstrations since the end of December, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said this week. Estimates from the Iranian government are lower, at about three thousand deaths. After initially threatening military action earlier this month over the crackdown, U.S. President Donald Trump later expanded those threats and tied them to demands for a deal on Iran’s nuclear program.

Cuba Threat : Trump declared in an executive order yesterday that Cuba’s policies are an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States and authorized tariffs on goods from any country selling oil to the island nation. Cuba’s previous main suppliers, Mexico and Venezuela, have paused shipments. Data company Kpler estimates that oil shortages could plunge the country into sharp rationing in a matter of weeks.

AstraZeneca’s China investment. The British pharmaceutical giant will invest $15 billion in China through 2030; it announced yesterday as Prime Minister Keir Stramer visited Beijing. The visit also yielded cooperation agreements in areas like agriculture, law enforcement, and financial services, with China slashing tariffs on British whiskey.

Food Aid In Afghanistan: The United Nations and the Asian Development Bank announced a $100 million food aid program for Afghanistan yesterday in response to a deepening hunger crisis in the country. Around 2.5 million Afghans have been repatriated to the country from Iran and Pakistan over the past year as international aid budgets sagged. A UN World Food Program official said Afghanistan experienced its largest-ever rise in malnutrition last year.

Panama’s supreme court ruled yesterday that a contract allowing a Hong Kong based company to operate two ports on the Panama Canal was unconstitutional. The ruling followed a government audit of the contract that began after Trump called for reducing Chinese influence in the canal last year. Hong Kong’s government criticized the ruling and urged its companies to review their investments in Panama.

Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez has signed a law that opens the nation’s oil sector to privatization, reversing a tenet of the self-proclaimed socialist movement that has ruled the country for more than two decades.
