US tariffs on Canada and Mexico take effect, as China takes aim at US farm exports
Beijing also blacklists 10 more American firms that now can’t do business in country, adds 15 to export control list, meaning they can’t get dual-use Chinese exports
WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Donald Trump’s long-threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico went into effect Tuesday, putting global markets on edge and setting up costly retaliations by the United States’ North American allies.
Starting just past midnight, imports from Canada and Mexico are now to be taxed at 25%, with Canadian energy products subject to 10% import duties.
The 10% tariff that Trump placed on Chinese imports in February was doubled to 20%, and Beijing retaliated Tuesday with tariffs of up to 15% on a wide array of US farm exports. It also expanded the number of US companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would slap tariffs on more than $100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days. Mexico didn’t immediately detail any retaliatory measures. |

LONDON/PARIS — UK said on Monday (March 3) that several proposals had been made for a truce in fighting between Ukraine and Russia, after France floated a plan for a one-month pause leading to peace talks, but US President Donald Trump suggested his patience was running out.
European countries, led by UK and France, are rallying around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and trying to hatch a peace plan that includes Kyiv after last week's Oval Office rupture between Zelenskiy and Trump. |

Russia Pushes Into Sumy Region, Breaking Through Ukrainian Defenses

Russia Pushes Into Sumy Region, Breaking Through Ukrainian Defenses
The Russian army has advanced from the Kursk region into Ukraine’s Sumy region, marking a significant territorial push and cutting off key Ukrainian military logistics. After weeks of official denials, Ukrainian sources are now confirming the loss of Zhuravka, as Russian forces consolidate their positions in the area.
Putin’s Announcement and Ukrainian Denial
On February 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly stated that Russian troops had entered the Sumy region. However, for nearly two weeks, Ukrainian officials and media actively denied the claim, attempting to downplay the scale of the incursion.
Now, however, even Ukrainian military analysts are publishing updated battlefield maps showing that Zhuravka is no longer under Ukrainian control, acknowledging that Russian units have advanced deeper into the Sumy region.
The Strategic Importance of Zhuravka
The Russian breakthrough occurred in the Nikolayevo-Daryino area, where troops crossed the border and seized Zhuravka, a settlement critical to Ukraine’s defensive line in the region. Ukrainian sources report that Russian forces are now fortifying their positions in the area, with heavy fighting continuing near Novyenkiy as Ukrainian troops attempt to halt further advances.
Military analysts from DeepState, a Ukrainian military monitoring group, have raised concerns that Russian forces are not just advancing but also cutting off critical Ukrainian supply lines. This development is particularly damaging for Ukrainian logistics in the Kursk region, further weakening Kyiv’s ability to sustain defensive operations along the border.
What’s Next?
With the Russian army consolidating its hold on newly captured areas, attention now shifts to whether Ukraine can mount a successful counterattack to regain lost ground—or if Russian forces will press further into Sumy. The battle for this region is far from over, but Moscow’s push into Ukrainian-held territory marks another escalation in the ongoing war.
This latest advance underscores Russia’s growing offensive momentum, as it seeks to apply pressure along multiple fronts while Ukraine grapples with manpower shortages, dwindling Western support, and logistical constraints.
Now that Sumy Ukraine has become the 8th region ( with Donetsk, Lugansk, Kursk, Kherson, Kharkov, Belgorod and Zaporozya) with Russian and Ukraine forces fighting each other on the frontline you can ezpect that I will do everything in my power to get there and report so you have a real idea of what is happening on the ground. |
Frontlines On India’s Republic TV Ukraine War
Patrick Lancaster
READ IN APP
I recently appeared on Republic TV, an Indian news channel, to share my firsthand experiences covering the war in Ukraine. Since 2014, I have been reporting from the front lines, documenting the reality of this conflict long before Russia officially entered the war in 2022.

Covering the War from the Beginning
When I first arrived in Donetsk and Lugansk in 2014, I saw firsthand how the local population held a referendum to break away from Ukraine after Russia took Crimea im. The people there hoped Russia would recognize their vote and bring them under its protection. But instead, what followed was an eight-year war, during which Ukrainian forces heavily shelled these regions. Almost every family I met had lost someone or had a loved one injured by Ukraine shelling of civilian areas.
I’ve been embedded with the people of Donetsk and Lugansk throughout this war, covering their stories, their suffering, and their hopes. When Russia finally recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in 2022, I saw people crying in the streets, celebrating, because they believed Moscow was coming to help them against the Ukrainian military. |
Factory job cuts hit nearly five-year high amid rising taxes and tariff fears
Manufacturing job cuts happened at the fastest rate since 2020 last month as rising taxes and inflation pushed up factory costs and output hit a 14-month low amid fears over trade tariffs.
The S&P Global UK manufacturing PMI survey, watched closely by economists, recorded a reading of 46.9 in February, from 48.3 in January.
Any reading above 50 indicates activity is growing while any score below means it is contracting.
The survey has been less than 50 for five consecutive months.
Factories have been hit harder than some other parts of the economy by increases to employer taxes announced in the October Budget, with bosses citing them as a driver of rising costs.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves raised company national insurance contributions in a move to fund improvements to public services.
The measures, along with an increase in the minimum wage, are set to take effect in April, with factories responding with redundancies, working hours reductions, and opting not to replace people leaving.
Rob Dobson, director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said the cost increases are “driving up inflation fears and intensifying the downward trend in staff headcounts”.
Manufacturers are also facing increasingly poor demand, with fewer orders, subdued confidence among customers and supply chain issues, domestically and overseas. |
