Trump said on Truth Social that there would be "some pain" for consumers since prices for numerous commodities are expected to increase.

Trump’s antagonism risks pushing U.S. allies closer to China

Washington Foreign leaders would be better off as America's enemy than its ally, if they have learnt anything from Donald Trump's presidency.

To varied degrees, they are all partners or allies of the United States. According to the State Department's own website, Panama is a democratic partner that collaborates with the US to further shared objectives. Reports promoting a counternarcotics plan the two nations had developed, or at least had under Joe Biden's administration, were posted on the website of the U.S. Embassy in Colombia. The web...
