Whitaker said that while the U.S. “still loves” its allies on the continent, they need to grow up. At the presentation of an annual report on Monday, the organizers of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) said, “for decades, Europe thrived under an American security umbrella that allowed it to prioritize integration and prosperity over hard power. That era has ended.” At that same presentation, Whitaker said, “I completely reject everything I just…

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to block a major bridge between Canada and the United States over ownership concerns. The bridge is suspended between Michigan and Ontario, and Trump is demanding ownership of at least half of the crossing. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump said he would not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, to open until the United States is “fully compensated” and Canada treats its neighbor with what he described as “fairness and respect.” “With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps,…
