Trade tensions between US and Canada intensify Trump’s announcement came two days after he withdrew from trade talks with Canada, worsening relations…
The Louvre moved part of its jewelry collection to the Bank of France vaults on Friday as a security precaution.

Researchers accuse successive UK governments of “doing virtually nothing” since the 2015 warning, estimating that inaction has led to 54,000 bowel…
