Mexico's president says she rejected Trump's plan to send US troops across the border
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump proposed sending American troops into Mexico to help her administration fight drug trafficking but that she rejected it.

Canada’s Liberals fall short of a majority in Parliament in the wake of comeback election victory
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ’s Liberals fell short of winning an outright majority in Parliament on Tuesday, a day after the party scored a stunning comeback victory in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The vote-counting agency Elections Canada finished processing nearly all ballots in an election that could leave the Liberals just three seats shy of a majority, which means they will have to seek help from another, smaller party to pass legislation.
Carney’s Narrow Victory Buoyed by Voters in Toronto, Montreal
Canada’s Liberal Party held onto crucial ground in the Toronto and Montreal regions, helping secure a path for Mark Carney to remain prime minister even as support slipped from the last federal election.
Carney's Liberals won. What happens next?
Millions of Canadians voted on Monday in a snap federal election that has largely focused on how the candidates would respond to US President Donald Trump's threats of tariffs as well as his call to make Canada the 51st state.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, current leader of the Liberal Party, called the vote in March shortly after taking over from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His main opponent in the race was Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Carney is now projected to have won a fourth mandate for the party.

Canada Canada Elections: Prime Minister Carney's Liberal Party to lead fourth consecutive government
Canada's Liberal Party is projected to win the country's federal election for the fourth consecutive time.

Canadians vote today after fierce campaign shaped by Trump
Millions of Canadians are expected to cast their ballots today in a pivotal election that will decide who will lead the country through a trade battle with the United States.
The 36-day campaign has been nothing short of remarkable for the leading contenders: Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Just a few months ago, polls suggested Poilievre was all but guaranteed to snap up the majority government he'd long been waiting for, after Canadians soured on former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
A stunning reversal of fortunes in Canada's historic election
At a rally in London, Ontario, on Friday, the crowd booed as Mark Carney delivered his core campaign line about the existential threat Canada faces from its neighbour.
"President Trump is trying to break us so that America could own us," the Liberal leader warned.
"Never," supporters shouted back. Many waved Canadian flags taped to ice hockey sticks.
Similar levels of passion were also on display at the union hall where Pierre Poilievre greeted enthusiastic supporters in the Toronto area earlier in the week.

China Is the Hidden Issue in Canada’s Upcoming Election
Canada’s federal election is on April 28. How leaders might manage an erratic White House is a major campaign theme; repairing the economy after nearly a decade of disastrous mismanagement under Justin Trudeau is another. One issue that deserves more attention, however, is how the next prime minister will deal with China and what is going on in the electoral district of Markham-Unionville, in the Greater Toronto Area.
