World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Canada and Mexico are still part of that North American free trade agreement thing. We (Canada) will just get our food from Mexico and South America like we've always done. We'll just skip America.
Yeah, as a Canadian I'm down with strengthening our trade with Mexico.
Problem there might be transport. You need to do it without crossing a US border.
How much shipping goes between Canada and Mexico?
Ah. You still dont understand how the US works. Send a small bribe directly to the Trump family and you can do whatever you like. I suggest using Eric Trump. If Dems are in charge send a bribe to AIPAC and they will give the dems their allowance. Either way its probably not even expensive.
Pfft... just buy some $TRUMP crypto coin. The graft is all out in the open now.
Also the "uncommitted" got their way and got Trump into power. So now AIPAC conspiracy stuff is just straight up antisemitism now.
I think this has passed a lot of people by. When Trump announced his crypto scheme he was saying to the world "This is how you buy the power of the president with no paper trail". Foreign powers can funnel billions through it for favours.
It's corruption on a unprecedented scale, even for a political system that runs on continual "fund-raising".
Being called an antisemite doesnt have the sting it used to. Now it just means anyone the genocidal state of Israel and their supporters disagree with in any way. Seems like weaponized language quickly loses meaning.
Maybe the free trade would allow trains and the like to go right through the USA without selling anything?
Why would the US want to do that?
Isn't that the whole.purpose of the free trade agreement?
You mean the free trade agreement that Trump is currently trying to tear down?
Hell, he'll probably ask y'all to pay taxes on transport, even for things you aren't selling here.
Right, but the tariffs will shoot that dead.
Only if sold in the US no? Not trying to be dense, but my understanding would be that it would apply to goods sold in the US not traveling through
I believe if a good enters a country it's deemed as being imported, even if it's getting exported immediately. At some ports they have areas where goods are deemed not to have entered the country and they can be put back on another ship. Drive it over "the border" though and suddenly you have to do all the paperwork and pay the bills.
I'm not aware of trains and trucks being considered as little bits of neutral territory moving across the country.
back in the first episode, lord diaper whined, and whined and shit on nafta, forcing it to be 'renegotiated' by him. he just had to have his name on everything.
nafta was a long time in the making, from reagan, to bush, to clinton when it finally went into effect. it had bipartisan support in congress, a little stronger from the right.
undone by a single shart from an orange moron that leaked, and then magically 'fixed' by the same..
in the end, what mr. art-of-the-fucking-deal managed to 'negotiate' is almost entirely the same as the nafta he hated so much.
now he's shitting on his own fucking deal. fuck'm.
i fully support your efforts to avoid our products and companies for the next few years. and if anyone up there wants to come renovate the white house again...... i won't be in your way.
🤣🤣🤣
