Trump got what he wanted with the Canada and Mexico tariff pauses — even if he didn’t get that much

Mexico will deploy 10000 troops and Canada will enhance efforts against drug trafficking. However, tariffs on Chinese goods remain, prompting China to retaliate. This move highlights Trump’s strategy to leverage tariffs for policy goals, but it has also introduced uncertainty in global trade.

Scientists find a ‘next step on a pathway to life’ in space
An Asteroid Sample Just Changed What We Know About Life in Our Solar System
Nasa’s Osiris Rex mission has brought back a 4.3 oz sample from the asteroid Bennu. This sample contains amino acids, nucleobases and evaporites. These are the building blocks of life.

This discovery could help us understand the origins of life on Earth and the potential for life elsewhere in our solar system.

Greg Barrick, the aquarium’s curator, expressed excitement and awe at the event. DNA analysis will be done in a few months to determine the cause.
