The US and Canada flags flutter next to the Blue Water Bridge border crossing in Point Edward, Ontario, on October 24, 2025. US President Donald Trump said October 23, 2025 he was ending trade talks with Canada over an anti-tariff advertising campaign, a sudden about-face soon after a cordial White House meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. On his Truth Social network, Trump vented fury at what he called a "fake" ad that he said misquoted former president Ronald Reagan discussing tariff policy.

Migrants pass through a broken fence as they leave Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta towards the Moroccan town of Fnideq following an attempted crossing at the Bab Sebta border crossing, on August 1, 2026. More than 48,000 migrants have returned to Morocco from Spain's Ceuta after tens of thousands crossed the frontier into its north African enclave in recent days, Spain's interior ministry said on July 31. Hundreds of people converged on Morocco's northern town of Fnideq on July 30 evening, following rumours that the border with Spain's Ceuta had opened, according to an AFP journalist.

Europe needs ‘a more scientific approach’ to migration, says former Spanish diplomat
