U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (R) listens as Premier of Ontario Doug Ford speaks during a news conference on Parliament Hill, December 18, 2025 in Ottawa, Canada.


Ontario Premier Doug Ford is sharply criticizing the federal government’s new agreement to ease tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, warning it could undermine the province’s auto sector at a critical moment in its transition to EV production.

The deal allows tens of thousands of Chinese EVs to enter Canada under reduced tariffs as part of a broader trade arrangement that also includes concessions on agricultural products. Ford argues the move risks flooding the market with cheaper imports and jeopardizing billions in recent investments aimed at building a domestic EV supply chain.

He urged Ottawa to “fix this mess,” saying the agreement puts Ontario workers at a disadvantage just as the province is trying to secure its place in North America’s auto future.

Federal officials have defended the deal as a pragmatic step toward stabilizing trade relations and opening new opportunities for Canadian exporters. But Ford remains adamant that any policy weakening protections for Canadian-made vehicles is a step in the wrong direction.
