🇨🇳 China is causing trouble in 🇵🇭 Philippine waters...again.
First, a Chinese coast guard ship rammed a Philippine vessel near Sabina Shoal. Then China blocked a resupply mission to the Sierra Madre.
Two days later, Chinese forces held combat drills at Scarborough.
🇨🇦 Canada is looking to the 🇪🇺 European Union to escape 🇺🇸 Trump’s economic attacks.
Carney wants deeper EU ties across trade, energy, defense and technology, with the EU suggesting Canada could become an "associate member."
Trump has already threatened both over it.
🇺🇸 The US is moving to ban 🇨🇳 Chinese cars and parts over fears they could become mobile spy networks that track locations, record images, and capture data.
Even Mercedes-Benz could be caught by the rules.

🇵🇭 The Philippines wants $70 billion for an AI and semiconductor hub in Tarlac.
The price could be paid by Aeta communities whose ancestral land overlaps the 1,620-hectare site. Some residents say they have already received relocation notices.
Manila calls this "modernization."
🇨🇦 81% of Canadians support closer integration with 🇪🇺 Europe.
56% say Canada has more in common with Europe than 🇺🇸 the US.
And 61% say closer European ties would make Canada more economically independent.
🇺🇸 Trump says he won “permanent control” of Greenland.
🇩🇰 Denmark and 🇬🇱 Greenland say the emerging deal recognizes their sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination.
So what did Washington actually get?
🇵🇭 The Philippines is buying more air conditioners than ever before.
So why is Manila cutting the trees that keep cities cool and provide shade?
Manila can be 5°C hotter than nearby rural areas, yet 617 trees were removed along Quirino Avenue.
These trees are irreplaceable.
🇮🇩 Indonesia is seeking its 5th UN Security Council term for 2029–30.
Jakarta is pitching UN control of Gaza stabilization, prisoner exchanges, the return of Ukrainian children and nuclear site protection.
Unlike 🇨🇳 China, 🇷🇺 Russia or 🇺🇸 the US, it would have no veto power.
🇾🇪 The Houthis just attacked 🇸🇦 Riyadh but assured 🇺🇸 Trump they would not target US ships.
Two days earlier, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had asked Washington to strike the Houthis.
Riyadh wants US protection. The Houthis are testing where America draws the line.
🇮🇩 Indonesia is deepening ties with 🇨🇳 China.
Trade hit $154.6B in 2025, Chinese firms dominate much of Indonesia’s nickel refining, and defense cooperation is expanding.
But Jakarta still backs its own maritime claims and keeps security ties with other powers like the 🇺🇸 US.
