AI Summary:
Trump has signed an executive order for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year. It could potentially buy the short video app TikTok. Typically such funds rely on a country’s budget surplus to make investments. There are more than 90 such funds across the world managing over $8 trillion in assets, according to the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds. Trump suggested the wealth fund could buy TikTok, whose fate in the US has been up in the air since a law requiring its Chinese owner to either sell it on national security grounds or face a ban took effect on January 19.

AI Summary:
Canada has experienced a tumultuous start to 2025, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation days into the new year. Canada is facing what some economists have dubbed “its largest trade shock in nearly 100 years” United States President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25-percent tariffs on a wide range of Canadian imports. Yet for many across the country, the potential for a trade war between the longtime allies continues to fuel a sense of anger. Nearly three-quarters of Canada’s total trade exports go to the US. The country is also the US’s largest foreign energy supplier. Trump has said the tariffs are necessary to push the Canadian government to stop fentanyl trafficking and irregular migration. Canada will “appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada-US Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime. Trudeau said the two countries have experienced tensions in the past. He pointed to tensions over Canada’s refusal to join the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Canadian crowds booed the US national anthem at hockey and basketball games over the weekend. The leaders of several provinces have urged people to “buy Canadian” in response to the tariffs. For the average person, McKercher explained, those “little acts of defiance” offer a sense of agency in a situation where they might otherwise feel powerless. The threat of a prolonged trade war goes beyond day-to-day purchases. For many Canadians, the prospect could make an already difficult economic situation worse. Already, Ohana said there has been an increase in demand for food banks and shelter beds in recent years in Montreal. Canada appears to have secured a reprieve from US tariffs. Last week, political, labour and civil society leaders released the “Pledge for Canada” to build a nationwide response to the Trump administration’s policies. That includes protecting Canadian sovereignty, reducing the country’s “dependence on the United States by diversifying our trade” and building alliances with other countries. We have a president that threatens us daily with measures that would throw our economy into a recession. These are not the actions of an ally.”

AI Summary:
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s ban on asylum claims. The case is the latest attempt to oppose Trump's hardline immigration policies. It is legal for asylum seekers to cross into the US if they are fleeing persecution. A day-one proclamation takes direct aim at one of the proclamations Trump signed on the first day of his second term. In it, Trump declared that undocumented immigrants are restricted from invoking provisions of the INA that would permit their continued presence in the United States. The Republican leader had long campaigned on a hardline approach to immigration. His 2024 re-election bid was defined by the same firebrand rhetoric. The ACLU has sought to push back against Trump’s policies. Rights groups launched a legal challenge questioning the dissolution of CBP One. Other legal challenges seek to oppose Trump’s expansion of “expedited removal” processes. Others seek to overturn a stop-work order that halted funding for legal services.

AI Summary:
A late-night social media message in Colombia sparked a diplomatic crisis. President Gustavo Petro had taken to the platform X in the wee hours of the morning to criticise the United States for its handling of deportations. In a subsequent post, Petro demanded that the migrants be returned on civilian aircraft. Sergio Guzmán says the incident was widely perceived as a black eye for Petro. "Petro made a big miscalculation in terms of the strength with which Trump would respond," he says. The spat with Trump comes as Petro enters the final full year of his presidency. Colombia is rudderless in terms of its foreign policy, says Guzmán. The two allies have fought a "war on drugs" together, and since 2017 the US has offered an estimated $1.5bn in aid for Colombia’s peace process. But despite this tight relationship, Petro’s confrontation with Trump set alarm bells ringing in Colombia. "This episode really highlights the need for Colombia to diversify its alliances," Guzmán says. "To do that, Colombia would really have to have a sophisticated and long-term view of foreign policy, which it does not" Petro had faced backlash in the US, his drug-policy reforms have repeatedly put him at odds with Washington. Corruption allegations surrounding Petro's son and financing of his 2022 presidential campaign have further eroded confidence. Petro’s base sees resistance to Trump’s hardline policies as an assertion of national sovereignty. This could hurt Petro-aligned candidates in 2026, especially if economic anxieties persist.
