Trump Hits Canada With Tariffs Amid Immigration Crisis

The Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 aims to introduce transparency and accountability in India's waqf system. Waqf properties, including mosques, madrassas, and land, are currently subject to issues like encroachment and litigation. The proposed changes include mandatory inclusion of non-Muslims in waqf boards, sparking concerns among some Muslims about the potential reduction of their control over these properties. The bill also seeks to rename the Waqf Act, 1995, as the Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995, and establish a broader composition for the Central Waqf Council and State Waqf Boards, ensuring representation of Muslim women and non-Muslims. A Joint Parliamentary Committee has been formed to review the bill.

American companies are concerned about potential backlash from Canadian consumers due to the tariffs.

Canada is considering purchasing European fighter jets instead of continuing with its purchase of F-35s from Lockheed Martin. Some NATO countries are rethinking reliance on U.S.-made weapons due to the war in Ukraine and the vast stores of Soviet-era weapons held by Eastern European NATO members. European jets would be significantly cheaper than the F-35, costing around $85 million per unit with infrastructure and spare parts raising the price to $150 million. The Canadian government has made a legal commitment to purchase 16 F-35s, but is now considering alternatives due to cost concerns and the potential for restrictions on the use and maintenance of F-35s by the U.S.
