Le rendez-vous aura-t-il lieu jeudi à Istanbul entre Vladimir POUTINE et Volodymyr ZELENSKY ? Rien n'est encore sûr mais en tout cas les lignes bougent après un intense week-end diplomatique… Alors la paix a-t-elle pour la première fois une chance de l'emporter ou assistons-nous à un vaudeville géopolitique qui ne débouchera sur rien ? Qui piège qui dans ce qui ressemble à un poker menteur mondial ?

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold recaps a jam-packed day of headlines and speculation centered around Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to the White House. Trump steals the show with fiery commentary on U.S.-Canada trade relations, poking fun at Carney while floating the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state, complete with “free military” and lower taxes. Jon also highlights the power imbalance in global trade as Trump asserts America no longer needs to sign deals, it simply sets terms. Major foreign policy updates include Trump's announcement that the Houthis have agreed to cease attacks, prompting a pause in U.S. bombings, and a teaser for a “major” announcement from the Middle East, possibly hinting at new Abraham Accords signatories. Domestically, Trump signed an executive order halting all federal funding for gain-of-function research, citing public health and national security risks. Jon also critiques the politicization of gas prices, election rulings in North Carolina, and the resurfacing of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting. He covers economic threats from Japan over U.S. Treasuries, the media's racial framing of tariffs, and a bombshell lawsuit from Stephen Miller's AFL targeting Chief Justice Roberts. From foreign policy to financial maneuvering, Herold delivers a rapid-fire, no-nonsense rundown of the day's most pressing stories.

The Prime Minister is in Washington ahead of Tuesday's critical first meeting with the U.S. President. Mark Carney and Donald Trump are expected to talk trade, tariffs, and Canada's sovereignty, but some experts question how much will get sorted out during this initial face-to-face.Also: Canada's multi-billion dollar film and television industry pushes back against Trump's call to tariff all foreign movies entering the U.S. The President wants to slap 100 per cent levies on the products, although the White House has given no details how that will work.And: A stirring ceremony for Canadian WWII veterans, as the Netherlands marks 80 years since it was freed from the grip of Nazi occupation, while honouring the role Canadians played in the liberation.Plus: Canada mulls a plan to buy military equipment from South Korea, dramatic testimony at the trial for five former junior hockey players, and more.

À l'occasion de sa revue de presse, vendredi, Paul Arcand fait le point sur l'enquête concernant la collision entre un hélicoptère militaire et un avion de ligne qui a fait 67 morts, mercredi soir, à Washington. Selon le New York Times, il n'y avait qu'un seul contrôleur dans la tour de l'aéroport Reagan au moment de la tragédie, ce qui est contraire à la procédure habituelle. Paul Arcand commente également la réaction du président Donald Trump qui, après avoir offert ses condoléances aux familles des victimes, a décidé de faire de la petite politique avec le drame. «Trump, dans les heures qui ont suivi la collision, avait déjà tout compris [...] Il a dit que tout ça découlait des politiques de diversité et de discrimination positive de ses prédécesseurs Joe Biden et Barack Obama [...] C'est la manière de faire de Trump: prendre un événement, mentir, truquer la réalité et, surtout, s'en servir et l'adapter à des fins politiques pour que ça colle à son discours.» Autres sujets abordés Trump imposera dès samedi des tarifs de 25% sur les produits canadiens.

Sixty-seven people are dead after a midair collision near Reagan airport in Washington, D.C. A Blackhawk helicopter collided with a passenger jet carrying 64 people. Many of the dead are from the world of figure skating.U.S. president Donald Trump spread the blame around, but focused on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. He says it's “common sense” that DEI is part of the problem. But Trump was unable to say why, or what led to the crash.Also: The deadline for Trump's tariff threat is February 1st. Canada is still trying to stop it from happening. But if it does – Ontario businesses are planning for the future. Full tariffs could affect 500,000 jobs. The damage will likely come quickly – within three or four weeks.Plus: Another hostage/detainee exchange, protecting the B.C. wine crop, and more.

Today is the day! C'est le jour de la prestation de serment de Donald Trump pour son deuxième mandat de président des États-Unis. Qu'est-ce qui a changé huit ans après sa première prestation, quatre ans après sa défaite contre Joe Biden? À quoi faut-il s'attendre pour les quatre ans à venir? On va tenter d'y voir un peu plus clair et de frotter notre boule de crystal avec Nicolas Véron, économiste, cofondateur du think tank européen Bruegel à Bruxelles, et également chercheur au Peterson Institute for International Economics à Washington. Ce qui lui donne une bonne vision des relations transatlantiques. Donald Trump a été très actif depuis son élection, le 4 novembre, sans attendre son installation dans le Bureau ovale. Il a déjà pesé de tout son poids pour faire aboutir les accords de cessez-le-feu à Gaza, mais aussi pour faire rétablir le réseau TikTok après quelques heures d'interruption. Le nouveau président promet en tout cas de signer une volée de décrets dès son installation à la Maison-Blanche, en matière d'immigration, d'énergie, de droits de douane ou de droits des personnes transgenres notamment, dès son installation à la Maison-Blanche.

ALEX CASTELLANOS, ABC NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST, WASHINGTON: Trump impeachment and more

Nach der Eskalation der Gewalt in Washington - Trump verspricht geordneten Übergang. Merkel zeigt sich "wütend und traurig". Diskussion um Kita- Gebühren in NRW.

Trump pidió a sus seguidores que irrumpieron en el Capitolio para denunciar un fraude electoral del que no hay pruebas que se fueran a sus casas.

Historian Lindsay Chervinsky discusses Washington's conception of the Cabinet, the Trump years, and future into the Biden Administration.

Go to New York Magazine to read our list of insiders who profited off the Trump presidency. On April 30, 2018, nine top executives from T-Mobile checked in to the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., with their names on a list of VIP arrivals. They landed in Washington at a critical moment: Just the day before, T-Mobile had announced plans for a merger with Sprint. To complete the deal, the company needed approval from the Justice Department, one block away on Pennsylvania Avenue. Hanging out in the lobby in his trademark hot-pink-and-black T-Mobile hoodie, then CEO John Legere was instantly recognizable to hotel guests. His company wasn’t just patronizing the president’s hotel. It was advertising that it was doing so. That evening, in a closed-door suite just off the hotel lobby, a small group of political donors got to have dinner with the president of the United States. The guests included a steel magnate, who complained to the president about rules limiting the number of hours a trucker could be on the road, and a property developer, who suggested holding the next summit with Kim Jong-un at a site he had built near Seoul. Also in the mix were two then-obscure businessmen, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. They had secured an invite to the dinner after promising a $325,000 donation to a Trump-aligned super-PAC. Like the other guests, they came with an agenda. Parnas and Fruman wanted to build an energy business in Ukraine but felt the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, Marie Yovanovitch, stood in their way. Parnas fed the president a fabrication that was sure to get his attention: that Yovanovitch was an anti-Trumper. “She’s basically walking around telling everybody, ‘Wait, he’s going to get impeached,’ ” Parnas told the president. Trump was enraged. Parnas and Fruman and the T-Mobile executives were pulling the same lever that night. And they all got results. T-Mobile’s merger was later approved, and Ambassador Yovanovitch was abruptly removed from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. Later, Parnas and Fruman were indicted on a -campaign-finance-violations charge (they had concealed the origins of their super-PAC donation) and were arrested with one-way tickets to Vienna in hand. (They have pleaded not guilty and face trial in 2021.) Trump claimed he did not know them. This is the Washington Trump has built these past four years, where people who patronize Trump businesses can expect preferential treatment, where a deputy secretary can oversee a bailout that benefits his family’s company, where administration officials fly in private jets paid for by the public — and where top government officials don’t bother to divest from industries whose policies they oversee. It started at the top, of course. Just nine days before his inauguration, Trump held his first news conference as president-elect. Presiding over a table with towering stacks of folders, Trump’s lawyer suggested there would be a “wall” between Trump’s business and his presidency, even though Trump himself made it quite clear that he would not be divesting. “I have a no-conflict situation because I’m president,” Trump said. “I could run the Trump Organization, great, great company, and I could run the company — the country,” he added. “I’d do a very, very good job, but I don’t want to do that.” Trump never separated himself from his company in any meaningful way. Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, also didn’t fully divest from their business interests. The couple made tens of millions of dollars from an array of limited-liability companies while also serving in the White House. Trump’s Commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, pledged to Congress that he would largely sell off his assets, then took dozens of meetings with executives to whose companies he had personal financial ties. Others did divest, but then proceeded to use their agency budgets as their personal piggy banks. Friends, donors, and hangers-on also thrived. Top GOP financier Elliott Broidy leveraged his fundraising into access, including a meeting in the Oval Office. Broidy attempted to use that access as a calling card with foreign officials from whom he sought security contracts. Like several other beneficiaries of Trump’s generosity, Broidy eventually found himself in legal trouble, pleading guilty to violating foreign-lobbying laws on behalf of Malaysian and Chinese clients. But many Trump affiliates benefited in ways that are perfectly legal. Attorney William S. Consovoy, who argued before an appeals court last fall that Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and be shielded from all consequences (the judges were unpersuaded), brought in $2 million from the RNC and Trump-campaign committees. Others sought the ultimate benefit: freedom. Roger Stone, who would not turn on Trump despite the threat of jail time, was one of many Trump loyalists and allies to receive clemency from the president. To be sure, a lot of people found ways to benefit from Trump’s time in office: journalists, progressive nonprofits, high earners — Trump donors or not. But Trump profiteers went far beyond what used to count as standard-issue Washington swampiness. New York partnered with WNYC’s Trump, Inc. podcast to identify 51 such insiders, whose unprecedented ability to gain from the Trump presidency will go down in history. Their schemes became ever more brazen these past four years, even as their goals shifted. The initial grifts tended to be strictly transactional on the model of the Trump Organization itself, through which the Trump name could be had by nearly anyone for the right price. Later on, not just money but power became the president’s currency. The quids became subtler: shielding Trump from legal consequences, investigating a political opponent, providing an intellectual rationale for understanding the presidency as Trump sees it — not as a civic duty but as a business. Read our full list of 51 Trump insiders (from Sheldon Adelson to Ryan Zinke) at New York Magazine. Sign up for email updates from Trump, Inc. to get the latest on our investigations.
