President Trump on Monday signed orders that would impose a 50 percent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, claiming that Canada had discriminated against the United States in key markets.U.S. officials said the tariffs would be imposed on products ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement and would go into effect in 30 days. The officials said the tariffs were punishment for Canadian discrimination in three industries: motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.The tariffs appear likely to reignite a trade clash with Canada, one of America’s closest allies and its second-largest trading partner after Mexico. Canada has been…

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered nearly 7,600 malicious GitHub repositories, out of which more than 800 pose as artificial intelligence (AI) skills or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to deliver a malware family known as SmartLoader as part of an ongoing campaign codenamed FakeGit. “FakeGit uses copied projects, lookalike developer profiles, convincing READMEs, and malicious ZIP files to deliver SmartLoader malware,” Oleg Zaytsev, lead security researcher at Island, said in a report shared with The Hacker News. The end goal of these attacks is to leverage the access afforded by SmartLoader to establish persistence and push secondary payloads, such as StealC,…

When David Risher was appointed as Lyft’s CEO in 2023, the company was struggling with financial losses and dwindling market share. The rideshare conducted multiple rounds of layoffs to stay afloat. In mid-February, Lyft was valued at $4.2 billion compared to its peak valuation of around $22 billion during its IPO. Lyft’s financials have since turned around. Its first quarter revenue of the year climbed 14% to $1.65 billion and $14.3 million in profit. In a recent interview with Wired, the former Microsoft and Amazon executive discussed the company’s path to profitability, and what it took to get there. “When…

Will this electoral appeal translate to a larger audience?Mr. Jackson lacks both the in-room and the on-camera charisma that powered Mr. Platner’s meteoric rise.Mr. Jackson’s electoral success also comes in a very specific context. His hometown, Allagash, is tiny and remote — it’s a longer drive from Portland, Maine, than Portland is from New York City. As I recall from a long wilderness canoe trip I took years ago, it has only one restaurant, the Two Rivers Lunch. (It also serves breakfast.) The towns on the Canadian side of the nearby border are larger than Allagash, and the cultural and…

Andy Burnham’s day began with a visit to a homeless shelter in central London, where he chopped mushrooms and chatted with other helpers preparing breakfast.A few hours later, by now wearing a suit and tie, he shook hands with King Charles III in the gilded splendor of Buckingham Palace. Accepting the monarch’s request to form a government, Mr. Burnham, who was named leader of the governing Labour Party on Friday, became Britain’s seventh prime minister after a decade of extraordinary turbulence.Mr. Burnham’s early-morning trip to the homeless charity seemed designed to send a signal to the country about his priorities,…

Firebrand Republican Rep. Nancy Mace announced Monday that she will not run for the South Carolina Senate seat held by the late Lindsey Graham. “I’m not running for the U.S. Senate, not because I’m backing down from a fight, but because the one I’m already in matters right now,” she said in a video announcement. Her decision comes after a fifth-place primary finish in her run for governor earlier this year and as the race to succeed Graham is already taking shape. Mace began exploring the viability of a potential bid just hours after Graham’s death became public, two people…

On Sunday night, dozens of people settled into their seats in front of a large screen at a makeshift, open-air venue in central Gaza. Each person in the crowd of mostly young men had paid a cover charge of 10 shekels (about $3.30), which included something to drink, to watch the men’s World Cup final, joining over a billion others around the world.The owner and organizer of the makeshift cafe, Haitham Zidan, 31, said he had spent hours setting up the screen and securing electricity that was generated locally. The power cut four times, and each time Mr. Zidan asked…

A few weeks ago, I spoke to my colleague Declan Walsh, who was reporting at the epicenter of the Ebola epidemic. One thing that stuck with me was the rage he described toward many of the health workers trying to contain the outbreak.It reminded me of something I witnessed in Germany during Covid. There, too, anger was often directed at those whose goal was to help. There were weekly protests against restrictions, some of them violent. A gas station attendant was killed when he asked a man to wear a mask.So what is it about health crises and rage? Today…

Major sporting events like the FIFA World Cup and global music tours are major events that generate significant cultural and economic value. But these events also come with massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions caused by international travel, building infrastructure, and mass consumption.Last week, a research team from the University of Cambridge released a new framework in the journal Communications Sustainability to evaluate mega-events from the perspective of “climate viability.” Analyzing the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which ended on Sunday, and Coldplay’s 2024 European tour, the scientists weighed the consumer welfare gains of each event against the emissions costs.“Effective climate…
