Trump's 50% Auto Tariff Threat: What It Means If You're Buying a Car in 2027

  Vehicle prices in Canada are already up thousands of dollars since the trade war began. A threatened doubling of auto tariffs on January 1, 2027 could push them higher still — here's what's confirmed, what's not, and what it means if you're in the market for a car.

Trump Questions Pahlavi’s Prospects, Criticizes Zelenskiy Over Ukraine Stalemate

        President Trump during his 30 minute interview with Reuters White House correspondent Steve Holland

Former U.S. President Donald Trump cast doubt on the political future of Iran’s exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi while also assigning blame to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for the ongoing deadlock in the war with Russia.

In recent remarks, Trump said he was unsure whether Pahlavi — the son of Iran’s last shah — could genuinely unite Iranians if the current government were to fall. He described Pahlavi as personable but questioned whether he could command broad support inside the country, noting the fractured nature of Iran’s opposition movements.

Trump also suggested that Iran’s ruling system could eventually collapse under internal pressure, though he refrained from endorsing any particular successor or political path forward.

Turning to Ukraine, Trump argued that Zelenskiy bears responsibility for the lack of progress in negotiations with Russia. He claimed that Kyiv’s approach has contributed to the prolonged stalemate, adding to the already tense debate over how the conflict should be resolved.

The comments highlight Trump’s skepticism toward both Iran’s opposition leadership and Ukraine’s wartime strategy, injecting fresh controversy into two of the world’s most sensitive geopolitical crises.
