Rubio Addresses Trump’s Canada Annexation Comments as Canada Heads to the Polls
With Canadians heading to the polls for a federal election, Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed President Donald Trump's past remarks regarding the possibility of Canada becoming the "51st state." During an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, April 27, host Kristen Welker questioned Rubio about whether the State Department had "taken any steps to carry out" Trump's plans "as he has said, to annex Canada." "The President has stated repeatedly that he was informed by the previous Prime Minister [Justin Trudeau] that Canada couldn't survive without unfair trade practices with the U.S. In response, [Trump] inquired, 'Well, if you can't survive as a nation without treating us unfairly in trade, then you should become a state,'" Rubio stated. Rubio's comments follow a dispute between Canada's former Prime Minister Trudeau and Trump concerning Canada's handling of pressures felt by Trump's . Canada has also responded with on goods imported from the U.S. Trump has repeatedly suggested to both and that Canada could potentially become the 51st state of the U.S. if Trudeau offered something to Trump amid ongoing tariff discussions, Trump emphasized that as a state, the country would be exempt from tariffs. "What I’d like to see; Canada become our 51st state," Trump said. "If people wanted to play the game right, it would be 100% certain that it would become a state.” Canada's current Prime Minister Mark Carney has also addressed Trump's continued statements about annexing Canada, stating that Trump brought up the issue during a phone call in March. Speaking at a campaign press conference, he said: "To be clear, as I’ve said to anyone who’s raised this issue in private or in public, including the President, it will never happen." In an April 22 , Trump reiterated his previous statements, saying he was "really not trolling" about making Canada the 51st state, arguing that America doesn't "need anything from Canada." "We’re taking care of their military. We’re taking care of every aspect of their lives, and we don’t need them to make cars for us. In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada," Trump said. "And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state." Trudeau—who as Canada's Liberal Party leader—has previously advised lawmakers and business leaders to take the annexation threat seriously. At a Canada-U.S. Economic Summit in Toronto in February, Trudeau suggested that Trump desires access to Canada's critical minerals, stating, "Mr Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing." As mentioned, Rubio's recent comments coincide with Canada's April 28 federal election, which could result in a new leader for tariff negotiations with the United States. Trump's on the Canadian elections thus far, with the Liberal Party leveraging a surge of Canadian nationalism stemming from the ongoing trade concerns. The next leader of the country could determine the future of Canada's crucial relationship with the U.S. and how it will evolve. "They’re going to have a new leader. We’ll deal with a new leadership in Canada," Rubio said. "There are many things to work cooperatively with Canada on, but we actually don’t like the way they treated us when it comes to trade, and the President has made that point when he responded to the previous Prime Minister." ```

Strengthening Hong Kong-Zhejiang Ties: The Hong Kong Investment Promotion – Zhejiang Ningbo Forum
HONG KONG, Apr 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The Hong Kong Investment Promotion Conference – Zhejiang Ningbo Forum cum Ningbo-Hong Kong Economic Co-operation Forum, co-organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) Government and Ningbo Municipal People’s Government, was held Friday, Apr. 25, at the Shangri-La Hotel, Ningbo. The event attracted over 600 government and business leaders who discussed collaboration opportunities among Zhejiang, Ningbo and Hong Kong.The event was held on the 20th anniversary of the Ningbo-Hong Kong Economic Co-operation Forum. Hong Kong’s business advantages were highlighted to Zhejiang government officials as well as business leaders from the finance, supply chain, innovation and technology and professional services sectors. In addition to fostering Zhejiang-Hong Kong and Ningbo-Hong Kong collaboration, Zhejiang enterprises were encouraged to leverage Hong Kong’s platform to explore opportunities.The Forum’s opening ceremony was hosted by Mayor of Ningbo and Deputy Secretary of the CPC Ningbo Municipal Government Tang Feifan this morning, with speeches delivered by the HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee, Executive Vice Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council Zhou Ji, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Xie Shaofeng, Chief Risk Officer and Director General of the Department of Public Offering Supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Yan Bojin, Vice Governor of Zhejiang Provincial Government Lu Shan, Standing Member of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee and Secretary of the CPC Ningbo Municipal Committee Peng Jiaxue and HKTDC Chairman Dr Peter K N Lam.In his speech, Mr Lee said: "The Hong Kong SAR Government and the HKTDC established a high value-added supply chain service mechanism at the end of last year to help mainland enterprises set up international or regional headquarters in Hong Kong to manage offshore trade and supply chains. Hong Kong has robust international trade networks and rich expertise, diverse talent and world-class professional services. We are well positioned to offer mainland enterprises new supply chain services and lead these businesses in exploring emerging markets, breaking through the US blockade."Mr Zhou stated that the historical ties between Zhejiang and Hong Kong are long-standing, with the two regions sharing close personal relations, cultural connections and commercial linkages. Hong Kong is Zhejiang's largest source of foreign investment, the largest partner in trade in services and second-largest destination for Zhejiang's overseas investments. By the end of 2024, Hong Kong has established over 30,000 enterprises in Zhejiang, while Zhejiang had invested in over 3,000 enterprises in Hong Kong. The mutually beneficial collaboration between Zhejiang and Hong Kong is an exemplary model of regional cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong.Mr Xie stated that Zhejiang's digital economy is vibrant, with outstanding advantages in industry agglomeration and strong momentum in developing industry and information technology. Ningbo and Hong Kong are both international port cities, sharing a close bond, human connection and commercial ties, with a long-standing history of interaction between the two places. Looking towards the future, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to support Ningbo and Hong Kong in strengthening exchange and cooperation, promoting complementary advantages to make new and greater contributions to ensure the prosperity of Hong Kong's economy and the nation's modernisation.Mr Yan said that the China Securities Regulatory Commission fully supports mainland enterprises listing in Hong Kong. In March 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission implemented new regulations for overseas listings and established a regulatory coordination mechanism with various ministries. Since implementing the new rules, 141 mainland enterprises have completed the filing process for listing in Hong Kong, including 19 enterprises from Zhejiang. Among these, 13 Zhejiang enterprises and one Ningbo enterprise have completed their listing. These companies are involved in key sectors, such as information technology, biomedicine and consumer goods, contributing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ranking fourth globally in IPOs in 2024.He pointed out that the next step for the China Securities Regulatory Commission is to continue improving the institutional mechanism to provide a more transparent, efficient and predictable regulatory environment for overseas listings by enterprises.Mr Lu remarked that Hong Kong would become a "super navigator" for Zhejiang's globalisation efforts, while Zhejiang would become Hong Kong's best partner.He said: "In terms of deepening economic cooperation, Zhejiang enterprises can leverage Hong Kong's international platform to further expand into global markets and enhance their brand visibility. Hong Kong enterprises can also increase their investments in Zhejiang and Ningbo to share the benefits of Mainland China's economic development. In the technology field, we see joint efforts by research institutions and enterprises from both sides, and we believe that more technological innovation and industrialisation will be achieved in both regions."Mr Peng stated that for many years, members of Hong Kong’s Ningbo community have been contributing to the development of Hong Kong and the nation, creating many inspiring stories of patriotism showing love for their hometown and showcasing entrepreneurial innovation.He noted: "In recent years, cooperation between Ningbo and Hong Kong has been greatly advanced and continuously deepened, yielding fruitful results. For the people of Ningbo, Hong Kong is not only the world-renowned 'Pearl of the Orient', but also a vital force driving Ningbo's reform, opening up, and modernisation. It is a place of deep emotional connections and an opportunity-rich city linking us to the wider world. Ningbo will strive to elevate Ningbo-Hong Kong cooperation to new heights."Dr Lam said: “This event showcased Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an international business hub and explored how Zhejiang enterprises, particularly those from Ningbo, can leverage our business platform and partner with our expert professional services to optimise their operations and accelerate their global expansion.”Following the opening ceremony, Deputy Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Michael Wong introduced Hong Kong’s advantages, encouraging Zhejiang enterprises to utilise Hong Kong's platform to connect with international markets. He noted that since 2022, over 80 key enterprises have established themselves or expanded their operations in Hong Kong, with 80% coming from Mainland China, including many leading companies across fields, such as AI and robotics, data science, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, life and health technology and fintech.Mr Wong said: "In this era, in which the global economy and international trade face significant challenges, we need to unite and work together more than ever. In Hong Kong, we will leverage our strengths to meet the nation's needs and actively integrate into the country's overall development. We hope to join hands with mainland enterprises to create a better tomorrow."In her keynote speech, Casa Bauhinia Co-Founder Prof Anna Pao Sohmen shared insights on future Zhejiang (Ningbo) - Hong Kong collaboration. She stated that Hong Kong enjoys a long-standing legal system, an open free market and an excellent strategic location, and with the enterprising spirit of Ningbo enterprises, they can surely create golden opportunities. She said: "The pragmatic and open approach of Ningbo, combined with Hong Kong's 'Lion Rock spirit' and can-do approach, will certainly lead to breakthroughs."During the event, Invest Hong Kong signed MOUs with 12 Zhejiang (including Ningbo) enterprise representatives, advancing key Zhejiang-Hong Kong and Ningbo-Hong Kong collaboration projects.On Thursday, HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee and Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee Wang Hao attended the First Plenary Session of the Hong Kong/Zhejiang Co-operation Conference. The Zhejiang/Hong Kong co-operation mechanism was established during the conference, marking a new chapter for comprehensive exchange and collaboration between the two regions. At the meeting, the two governments signed MoUs on 13 key areas, covering 51 projects. One MoU signed between HKTDC and the Department of Commerce of Zhejiang Province outlined aims for the HKTDC to proactively encourage Hong Kong businesses to invest and expand in Zhejiang, and to also organise trade delegations from various sectors to visit Zhejiang. The two counterparts will continue to explore new areas of trade collaboration to promote high-quality development.During the panel discussion on Friday, distinguished guests – including Chairman of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation Dr Sunny Chai, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited Bonnie Chan; and Chief Executive Officer of the Airport Authority Hong Kong Vivian Cheung – exchanged thoughts on collaboration opportunities in finance, I&T and supply chain.

Virginia Giuffre, Key Accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew, Dies at 41
Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused Prince Andrew of Britain and other powerful figures of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, has passed away at the age of 41. Her publicist has confirmed that Giuffre died by suicide on Friday at her farm located in Western Australia. Her family released a statement saying, “Virginia was a courageous fighter against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was a beacon of hope for numerous survivors. Despite the challenges she faced, she shone brightly and will be deeply missed.” Dini von Mueffling, her publicist, remembered Giuffre as “deeply loving, wise, and funny.” Von Mueffling shared in a statement, “She loved her children and animals. She was always more concerned about others than herself. I will miss her immensely, and it was an honor to represent her.” Giuffre, originally from the United States and a long-time resident of Australia, became a prominent advocate for survivors of sex trafficking after becoming a key figure in the downfall of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein, a wealthy and well-connected New York financier, committed suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in the U.S. These charges involved numerous teenage girls and young women, some as young as 14. The charges followed an initial investigation that started 14 years earlier in Palm Beach, Florida, where police investigated allegations of Epstein sexually abusing underage girls hired for massages. Giuffre publicly came forward after the initial investigation resulted in an 18-month Florida jail sentence for Epstein. He had made a secret deal to avoid federal prosecution by pleading guilty to less severe state charges of soliciting prostitution and was released in 2009. In subsequent lawsuits, Giuffre stated that she was a teenage spa worker at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump's Palm Beach club, when Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's girlfriend and later employee, approached her in 2000. Giuffre claimed that Maxwell hired her as a masseuse for Epstein, but the couple essentially turned her into a sexual servant, pressuring her to satisfy Epstein and his associates. She stated that she was flown around the world for encounters with men, including Prince Andrew, when she was 17 and 18. The men denied these allegations and questioned Giuffre's credibility. She admitted to altering some key details of her account, including the age she first met Epstein. However, many parts of her story were corroborated by documents, witness statements, and photos, including one of her and Andrew with his arm around her waist in Maxwell's London townhouse. Giuffre claimed in one of her lawsuits to have had sex with Prince Andrew three times: in London during her 2001 trip, at Epstein’s New York mansion when she was 17, and in the Virgin Islands when she was 18. In September 2019, Giuffre stated, "Ghislaine said, 'I want you to do for him what you do for Epstein.'" Prince Andrew has firmly denied Giuffre’s accusations and claimed he did not remember meeting her. His denials backfired during a November 2019 BBC interview, where he offered unusual justifications, such as disputing Giuffre’s recollection of sweaty dancing by stating he was medically unable to perspire, and showed no sympathy for Epstein's victims. Within days of the interview, Andrew stepped down from his royal duties. In 2022, he reached a settlement with Giuffre for an undisclosed amount, agreeing to donate to her survivors’ organization. A court statement indicated that the prince acknowledged Epstein as a sex trafficker and Giuffre as a victim of abuse. She also filed lawsuits against Epstein and others linked to him, settling some cases. In one instance, she withdrew claims against a U.S. attorney, suggesting she might have mistakenly identified him as one of the men Epstein supplied her to. Epstein’s suicide ended his accusers’ hopes of holding him criminally responsible. Maxwell was found guilty in 2021 on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and received a 20-year prison sentence. She maintained she was not responsible for Epstein’s abuse. Prosecutors chose not to include Giuffre’s allegations in the Maxwell case, but Giuffre later told the court that Maxwell had “opened the door to hell.” Born Virginia Roberts, Giuffre recounted to interviewers that her childhood was marred by sexual abuse as a young child by someone her family knew. She later ran away from home and suffered further abuse. She said she met her husband in 2002 while training in massage therapy in Thailand at Epstein’s encouragement. She married, relocated to Australia, and started a family. Giuffre established an advocacy charity, SOAR, in 2015. Giuffre separated from her husband and children this year. She had been charged with violating a family violence restraining order in February and was scheduled to appear in court in Perth in June, where her estranged husband and children reside. She had not yet entered a plea to the charge, which carried a potential maximum sentence of two years in prison upon conviction. Her publicist reported last month that Giuffre was hospitalized after a serious accident. Details regarding the date, location, nature, or other specifics of the accident were not provided at the time, nor was the accuracy of an Instagram post that seemed to be from Giuffre. The post indicated that she had been in a car struck by a school bus, and her prognosis was dire. She is survived by her three children, described in the statement as the “light of her life.” Sigrid McCawley, Giuffre’s attorney, stated, “Her courage motivated me to fight harder, and her strength was inspiring. The world has lost an incredible person today. Rest in peace, my sweet angel.” The AP generally does not identify individuals who report being victims of sexual assault unless they have publicly come forward. —Associated Press writer Rod McGuirk in Melbourne, Australia, contributed to this report.

Escalating Tensions in China-Taiwan Relations Explained
` tags. `` Since Taiwan's President Lai's inauguration in May 2024 and the U.S. President's inauguration in January, Beijing has been anxious. Will Lai provoke a response through his actions? And what stance will Trump take regarding Taiwan and its efforts to remain independent from China? The answers are complex. Initially, Lai avoided provoking Beijing. The election last year seemed to remove any political need to appease his nationalist base with aggressive actions or statements toward mainland China. However, his Democratic Progressive Party lacks a parliamentary majority, and he is uncertain if the Trump Administration will support him. Regardless of his political intentions, Lai's stance on cross-Strait issues has become more assertive recently. On March 13, Lai gave a speech outlining Taiwan's strategies to counter China's threats and its attempts to infiltrate the government and society. Predictably, Beijing responded with 18 official commentaries via state media attacking Lai and his plans. Two weeks later, he was labeled a "danger maker," and the People's Liberation Army released propaganda videos simulating a blockade of Taiwan. Following this, the Chinese navy conducted exercises simulating "assaults on maritime and ground targets, and a blockade on key areas and sea lanes," according to a PLA official. The Chinese coast guard also deployed vessels for a patrol encircling Taiwan. Similar moves and countermoves have occurred frequently between China and Taiwan. However, this time, both sides are struggling to understand Trump's true intentions. Currently, Taiwan needs to protect its economy from external risks. Lai's negotiators engaged in initial trade discussions with the White House on April 11, shortly after proposing a reciprocal zero-tariff system with the U.S. and increased American purchases and investments. On April 14, Lai then advocated for a framework to assist Taiwanese companies in relocating and expanding into the American market. While his tariff intentions toward Taiwan are unknown, Trump is unlikely to abandon it, at least in the short term. He has expressed flexibility regarding territorial integrity. If he is hesitant to incur costs and risks to help Ukraine against Russia, can Taiwan be confident that Trump will commit U.S. troops and funds to defend an "ally" thousands of miles away? However, Trump's Cabinet includes China hawks, and defending Taiwan against China is a common goal for most Republicans in Washington. Beijing knows a full-scale invasion risks direct war with the U.S., a dangerous gamble for China's fragile economy, especially with Trump's increased tariffs. For Chinese leaders, delaying a full-scale invasion until their military is stronger, their economy is more stable, and the U.S. has a more predictable President is safer. The real danger is that China will test U.S. resolve and Trump's reactions with smaller provocations, none individually significant enough to cause a crisis. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. As U.S.-China relations deteriorate, the breakdown of communication between Washington and Beijing could allow any accident or miscalculation to escalate into a major military crisis that both sides would prefer to avoid.

On Thursday, April 24, Trump used his social media platform, Truth Social, to denounce the Russian leader's involvement in a deadly attack on Kyiv, Ukraine. " Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!,” he posted. Zelensky has generally received since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. On Saturday, upon his arrival at St. Peter's Basilica for Pope Francis' funeral service, , as thousands gathered outside to honor the late Pontiff. Despite Trump's previous claim of being able to end the war in Ukraine on the first day of his second term, the conflict persists. During a on April 22, Trump responded to a question regarding the possibility of peace while Putin remains President of Russia. "I believe with me as President, there’s—possible, if [a] very probable [chance]," Trump stated. "If somebody else is President, no chance." Trump continued, "I believe I'm the only one that can get this thing negotiated. And I think we're a long way. We've had very good talks, and we're getting very close to a deal. And I don’t believe anybody else could have made that deal."
