Trump and his shambolic Board of Peace (BoP) has discarded its recovery plan for Gaza, opting instead for a “tiny pilot scheme” amid fears of a “new all-out offensive before Israeli elections,” the Guardian reported. The so-called ceasefire hasn’t stopped Israel’s daily bombardment of Gaza. As recently as 16 July, Israeli forces were again striking Palestinians huddled inside tents. Israel is maniacally bombing Palestinians in tattered tents again tonight. Every. Single. Day. Not a single shot from Hamas for more than 10 months & Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians since — including more than 200 children. pic.twitter.com/DWzA42MAyq —…

US president Donald Trump’s much-hyped national guard deployments did nothing to lower crime rates. Canary readers will recall how Trump filled the streets of US cities with troops at the start of his second term. A major centre-left US thinktank has now debunked any claims that the military presence lowered crime. And what’s more, the whole project has ripped off taxpayers to the tune of billions. The Center for American Progress (CAP) warned in a new report: The second Trump administration is trying to take credit for the historic drop in violent crime across America despite the fact that this trend…

In a scathing new report, the International Development Economics Associates Limited (IDEAs) has documented the heavy toll Global South continues to pay for a war it did not create — as corporations cash in. The report describes a state of siege across the Global South region, with countries facing mounting economic pressure as the fallout from the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran spreads. Global South picks up the tab The report stated that operations of Epic Fury waged by the US, and Roaring Lion waged by the colonial-settler state Israel have led to substantial hardship for countries throughout the global…

Critical minerals deals give a massive boost to Trump’s cronies

Trump is synonymous with the grift. He is grifting on critical minerals deals too, unsurprisingly. Incoming reports show that the administration’s push to secure these resources has become a family-and-friends cash cow. Trump’s sons and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s children are especially positioned to profit from billion dollar deals. Cantor Fitzgerald — led by Lutnick for more than 30 years before he handed ownership to his children after becoming Trump’s Commerce Secretary — is all over these deals. Critical minerals: Hottest cash cow The New York Times (NYT) reported that the Trump administration has provided, or is considering providing more than…

China has saved the global oil market amid Trump’s war on Iran

A prominent oil analyst has claimed that China’s dramatic reduction in crude oil imports since the US/Israel war of choice on Iran helped prevent a full-blown global energy shock. Real demand for oil plateauing in China In an interview with German DW, oil analyst Rory Johnston said: Chinese crude oil imports fell by roughly 40- 45%, roughly 5 million barrels a day from pre-war levels to the levels we saw average through June. That is gargantuan. That is a larger shift than the entirety of the world’s SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserves) releases combined. According to Reuters, since the unprovoked war on…

US president Donald Trump has turned up to the NATO conference very angry. And we’re going to assume it is because his cheating national football team got rinsed 4–1 by a very average Belgium side. In fact, the president took the opportunity to basically slag off every country he could think of. So, like, four… Iran was high among them. Commenting on the current shaky truce with a country that just kicked his arse in a sit-down chat with NATO’s buffoonish chief Mark Rutte, Trump said: I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them any more. They’re scum.…

The so-called “Board of Peace” and the US administration have announced that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) “has no place in the new Gaza.” Liquidating the refugee issue They say they are “turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict.” But “Israel” is the reason why Palestinians in Gaza are reliant on aid in the first place. The occupation has enforced a blockade on the Strip for almost two decades. At the same time, it has inflicted repeated cycles of violence, and persistent destruction of the population. Even before the genocide, 80…

The UK’s ambassador to the USA, Christian Turner, penned an opinion piece this week by declaring that Trump is “correct” that allies must spend more and that Britain has “heard that message” and is “acting on it,” referring to Starmer’s new Defence Investment Plan (DIP). Starmer announced £298bn of investment, including £15bn of additional spending on top of last year’s Spending Review, over the next four years, saying the plan goes “further still” in response to growing threats and the changing nature of conflict. President Trump has been consistent, and he is correct: America’s allies must do more for their own defense and…

The US President Donald Trump’s mandatory financial disclosure is out, and it shows that he hauled in at least $2.2 billion in 2025, his first year back for his second term in the White House. That’s a shocking $1.6 billion more than the $622 million he scraped together in 2024, back when he was just a regular civilian – albeit an ex-President. Democracy Defenders Action labelled Trump’s soaring wealth a: staggering grift on a scale never seen.

US Senate passes War Powers Resolution, heaping embarrassment on Trump’s Iran loss

Trump’s war on Iran has finally gone too far even for the Republican-controlled US Senate — on 23 June, the upper house passed a War Powers Resolution nominally barring the president from continuing hostilities against Iran without congressional approval. Unfortunately, the resolution is primarily a symbolic gesture. Whilst the resolution passed the lower House of Representatives at the beginning of June, and has now passed through the Senate, it won’t be passed to Trump for his approval. Likewise, it won’t carry the weight of law. Meanwhile, Trump has called the act “poorly timed and meaningless”, and signalled his intent to ignore…

It was upsetting for fans to learn that Team Melli – the affectionate nickname for Iran’s national football team – was forced by US immigration authorities to leave immediately after their World Cup match in Los Angeles against New Zealand. Previously, the Iranian national football team was supposed to stay in Los Angeles after the match to recover. This incident follows several Iranian football personnel being denied visas to enter the US. When the US and Israel were still at war with Iran, Team Melli was forced to abandon its Arizona training base. At the invitation of Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum,…

One person was killed and two injured in the latest ‘narco’ boat strike in the eastern Pacific on 17 June. While all eyes are on US-Iran peace talks, US president Donald Trump’s administration is still terrorising Latin America. The US has killed over 200 people in the Caribbean and Pacific under the guise of stopping ‘narco-terrorist’ boats. The US military’s southern command posted on X: On June 16, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was…

Deluded worldviews are everywhere in the Trump regime – they’re a requirement to be part of it.

But Huckabee even – and completely ahistorically – thinks the US wouldn’t exist at all if it wasn’t for Israel: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Huckabee-Exist-Subbed-hb.mp4 Back to front Just for the record – and for Trump himself – the US has existed as an independent nation for well over 200 years.

In an NBC interview recorded on Friday, US President Donald Trump repeatedly defended his war of choice on Iran. He said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was a “good comrade” but disagreed with him, stating that strikes on Lebanon should be more surgical than they are. However, the Financial Times (FT) reported that Trump later insisted he “calls the shots” and that Netanyahu has “no choice” but to accept any deal with Iran. The FT said they had verified a leaked call in which Trump called Netanyahu “fucking crazy” and told him he would be in prison without him. “I call all…

Donald Trump has claimed that Israel and Hezbollah have “agreed to halt attacks” after indirect talks through intermediaries. Trump wrote: I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop – that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel. Bearing in mind that no US president has ever spoken with Hezbollah, and the US designated the group a terrorist organisation, we have to ask if the intermediary was a carrier pigeon or a pet fish? According to statements from Lebanon’s embassy in Washington, the plans mean Hezbollah would stop ‘attacking’ Israel.…

President Donald Trump’s failing war in Iran is grabbing most of the headlines. But Latin America is still central to current US colonial ambitions. American shadow war operations are popping up left, right and centre as the US seeks to dominate. Trump’s 2025 national security strategy said as much. The US wants to ensure: the Western Hemisphere remains reasonably stable and well-governed enough to prevent and discourage mass migration to the United States. And that those pliable governments: cooperate with us against narco-terrorists, cartels, and other transnational criminal organizations. Trump and his cronies want: a Hemisphere that remains free of hostile…
