The administration stayed home from Halifax and forced the US military to do so as well. This isn’t an aberration: Also over the weekend, the administration boycotted the G20 in S Africa. How does the Trump team expect to win any diplomatic victories when it’s not even on the field? wapo.st/4oZH3wz
Opinion | America has become a rogue nation. U.S. allies are looking elsewhere.
Europeans and Canadians are talking about making their own security arrangements.

A fitting tribute to a groundbreaking and much-loved chef
A lot of what Skye did - seasonal cooking, eliminating single use plastics, using 'waste' products - is so well integrated into the cooking mainstream that it is easy to forget how pioneering it was. My obituary tries to give some small sense of it on.ft.com/4ptDNJF

The Ontario ad is accurate. Heck it is Reagan’s own words. Reagan was a free trader. Very different from Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...
