Donald Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe, The Telegraph can reveal.
Mr Trump is weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel out of Germany in a move that would further sour US-Europe relations.
The US president, who has repeatedly warned that Europe must commit more to its defensive capabilities, is becoming increasingly frustrated that the continent is “pushing for war”, sources close to the administration said.
Mark Carney’s greatest skill appears to be his remarkable ability to find a soft landing when things get complicated. His most recent exit was on Jan. 15 from GFANZ, an organization he founded and co-chaired which is now being investigated by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee for allegedly violating antitrust laws by pressuring companies to adopt net-zero goals. Whatever political motivations may be behind this probe, it indicates a major decline in popularity for the kind of climate-focused agenda Carney had been pushing.
President Donald Trump said he sent a letter this week to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, expressing his desire to negotiate a nuclear deal but reiterating the prospect of a military attack.
“I’ve written them a letter saying, ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing,’” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo recorded Thursday and partially aired Friday.
Britain is in its death throes.
Every single institution has been captured by extreme leftists. The sentencing council, an unelected and unaccountable non departmental body has decided in all its woke wisdom to target people based on the colour of their skin. It’s just one…

Hudson’s Bay, the Canadian department store chain founded in 1670, is preparing for a bankruptcy filing within days, people familiar with the matter said.
The chain became a stand-alone business following its December 2024 deal to spin off its Saks Fifth Avenue subsidiary through a combination with Neiman Marcus Group. As part of that transaction, Saks acquired Neiman Marcus for $2.65 billion, establishing a new entity called Saks Global, which also owns Bergdorf Goodman. Saks Global isn’t expected to file for bankruptcy itself, only Hudson’s Bay will, the people familiar with the matter said.
A few years ago, the scenario which Canadian and other NATO troops rehearsed in Latvia last week might have seemed unthinkable — even alarmist to the untrained eye.
On a mud-soaked, winter-scorched training range a few dozen kilometres outside of Riga, roughly 3,400 troops from 14 nations — under the brigade leadership of a Canadian commander — exercised how they would conduct a last-ditch defence of the Latvian capital.
… The Western military alliance has organized the defence of Latvia under a multinational division, which includes the Canadian-led brigade. The division is led by Danish Maj.-Gen. Jette Albinus, who also told CBC News in a recent interview that a ceasefire — or full peace settlement in Ukraine — would allow Russia to turn its full attention to the Baltic region.
If fellow NATO members feel that way then they should spend whatever it takes to maintain their war. But they won’t they want the US to pay the freight.
OTTAWA — No half measures.
That was the message Friday from Canada’s opposition leader, who said he wasn’t swayed by the White House’s latest walkback on its trade war.
“We need to keep the counter-tariffs in place until the president removes all tariffs, forever, for Canadians,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told reporters.
On what was supposed to be a celebratory night, the grand opening of a new pub at Scarborough Town Centre on Friday was met with gunfire, sending 12 people to the hospital.
Toronto police said three masked male suspects, one armed with an assault rifle and the other two with handguns, entered Piper Arms at 520 Progress Avenue just before 10:40 p.m.
“They walked into the bar. They produced their guns, and they opened fire indiscriminately on the people sitting inside the bar,” Supt. Paul MacIntyre of Organized Crime Enforcement told reporters at the scene.

Toronto is such a 3rd World Craphole I’m not even going to suggest this is anything but gang related.

Buffy Sainte-Marie has been stripped of her Canadian music awards.
Both the Juno Awards and the Polaris Music Prize announced Friday they were rescinding the honours Sainte-Marie had received over the years, after the 84-year-old musician returned her Order of Canada earlier this week, saying she is an American citizen and had “made it completely clear” she is not Canadian.
The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), which runs the Junos, said it made the decision in accordance with its eligibility requirements, following Sainte-Marie’s statements about not being Canadian.
‘It’s a little bit too much like the story of Little Red Riding Hood, in which Canada fails to see the big teeth grinning at it.’
Canadians are rightfully angry. Our best friend has stabbed us in the back with tariffs and while we laughed for a while, we are now tired of the 51st state joke.
However, if Canadians want to preserve our sovereignty we need to set aside our emotions and face facts.
We cannot win a trade war. Or any kind of war. The US Gross Domestic Policy is about $25 trillion, and at $2.2 trillion, Canada’s is not even a tenth of that. In other words, the Doberman meets the chihuahua in the alley. Guess who wins that fight?
EU leaders can’t defend their own borders, let alone Ukraine’s.
The last time European states were embarking on rearmament, we were well down the road towards a world war. This time, it’s the war in Ukraine and the unravelling of the Western military alliance that are driving European rearmament. Suddenly, virtually every European head of state has become converted to the virtue of increasing defence spending and boosting the arms industry.
Last Friday, Donald Trump signed an executive order making English the official language of the United States, ending 249 years of the country not having any official language, a designation the U.S. shared with only Mexico and the Pacific archipelago nation of Palau. The order also rescinded a 2000 Bill Clinton mandate requiring aid-dispensing agencies to provide language assistance to non-English speakers, while leaving the door open to agencies to do so if they choose. While the Left will undoubtedly cry “nativism” and “xenophobia” over the coming days, the order’s wording, historical perspective, and common sense show this is a necessary step to strengthen “melting pot” by uniting as “a citizenry that can freely exchange ideas in one shared language.”
French as an official language divides us to serve an elite’s agenda.
No sooner had Israel lowered the bodies of the two murdered Bibas children into their graves, than radical leftists began accusing Jews of “white supremacy” for mourning them.
While Americans celebrate DOGE eliminating wasteful government spending, the benefits from eliminating this waste far exceed the dollar amounts found. As the National Debt Clock ticks off the savings from DOGE, it is important to keep in mind that even bigger losses are being eradicated. To focus only on direct dollar savings is to miss the much bigger picture.
This is about the extraordinary case of Rev Dr Bernard Randall and the latest developments in his story. In 2019, Dr Randall, an ordained Church of England (CofE) minister, was working without any issues at Trent College in Derbyshire. The college had a CofE chapel and a CofE ethos and Dr Randall was employed to pastor, teach and uphold Christian beliefs in the school. Everything changed, however, when the college invited extreme LGBT group Educate and Celebrate to implement its ‘gold standard’ inclusive curriculum to even nursery aged children.
