Controversy Over Christmas Crib in Grand Place - Brussels

Dean Benoit Lobet talks to media about the controversial nativity scene in Brussels Grand-Place on November 28, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. In 2025 Brussels installed a "faceless,inclusive" nativity scene made from recycled textiles at the GrandPlace, prompting criticism that the redesign erases traditional religious imagery while supporters tout it as a modern, secular interpretation; simultaneously, the European Parliament displayed a nativity scene for the first time, sparking debate over whether such a display could be seen as offensive to nonbelievers - Photo by Monasse T/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM

Ontario Premier Ford Defends Anti-Tariff Reagan Ad That Derailed Trump Trade Talks - Toronto

Ontario Premier Ford Defends Anti-Tariff Reagan Ad That Derailed Trump Trade Talks - Toronto

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to the media during a press conference at Queen's Park in Toronto, Canada, on Monday, October 27, 2025. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is defending his TV advertisement that prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to scrap trade talks with Canada and threaten higher tariffs, calling it the “most successful ad in North American history.” In a late-night social-media tirade last week, Mr. Trump denounced the ad, falsely accused it of being a “fraud” and announced an immediate end to trade talks with Canada. Mr. Ford pulled the ad off the air, but only after it ran during the first game of the World Series. Mr. Trump also said he would impose an additional 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian goods. On Monday, he told reporters he would not be meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney again for “a long time.” Mr. Carney said on Monday that trade talks stopped after the ad appeared.

EU Commission vice-president, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas talks to media in the Berlaymont, the EU Commission headquarter on September 3, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. Today, the European Commission is preparing to approve a trade agreement with Latin American Mercosur countries, in a bid to convince Paris and reassure farmers. Adoption by European Commissioners is the first step before submitting this free trade agreement to Member States and Members of the European Parliament in the coming months. In particular, the agreement should allow the European Union to export more cars, machinery, and alcohol to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. In return, it would facilitate imports of South American meat, sugar, rice, honey, and soybeans, which would risk undermining some European agricultural sectors.
