Analysts and fuel dealers predict that President Donald Trump's decision on Saturday to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican oil will result in higher gas prices for American consumers. The anticipated increase in fuel costs illustrates the dual nature of Trump's trade barriers, which are intended to support local companies and put pressure on the United States' neighbors to stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling. However, they will also go against his pledges to address inflation.

Additionally, it imports more than 450,000 barrels per day of Mexican oil, primarily for refiners located along the Gulf Coast of the United States. Higher product...

Newer models can pair with a smartphone to provide blood sugar readings all day long and attach to the user's arm. Since their first approval by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999, CGMs have only historically been prescribed to individuals with diabetes. Two blood sugar monitors have recently...

Washington The three nations denounced the action and pledged retaliation actions just hours after President Donald Trump issued executive orders imposing duties on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, a nation three times the size of Texas that is said to contain minerals worth trillions of dollars that are necessary for computers, smartphones, and electric car batteries, is experiencing a violent insurrection. The most dramatic escalation in the 13-year-old conflict is the rival group M23's attempt to extend its power by marching south from Goma.

In the meantime, President Felix Tshisekedi pledged to retake every square inch of our territ...

Poland's Brzezinka Ruth Cohen refused to come here for over eight decades. Here in Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazis treated the captives like animals in cages surrounded by electrified barbed wire. Slave labor, human experimentation, malnutrition, and disease all contributed to the prisoners' slow death. The majority were swiftly killed in gas chambers. In May 1944, Cohen and her family were forcibly transported here by the Nazis in cattle trains just because they were Jewish. At the moment, she was fourteen years old. And when she got off the train, she didn t know it would be the last time she would see her mother, 12-year-old brother and two young cousins; they were likely sent to the gas chambers. It's terrible and horrible, and I didn't believe the horrible way I was informed that they...
