Donald Trump takes new swipe at Canada in furious 15-word rant over Palestine
Donald Trump has hit out at Canada's decision to recognise the state of Palestine as the countries negotiate a trade deal, taking to Truth Social with a fresh tirade Donald Trump says that it will be 'very hard' to make a trade deal with Canada in a 15 word rant after they became the latest country to recognise a Palestinian state. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would make the symbolic move in September to accept Palestine as an independent state which was the part of a broader global shift against Israel 's policies in Gaza. Carney convened a Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in the battered Palestinian territory. He said it came after he discussed the crisis with Keir Starmer who announced a similar move for the UK on Tuesday. But Trump has taken a swipe at the move and oddly connected it with the possibility of a trade deal between the US and Canada. Writing on his Truth Social social media account, Trump said: 'Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh' Canada!!!' It comes after a lip reader revealed exactly what Donald Trump and Keir Starmer said to each other on the golf course. His threat comes with Canada set to face 35% tariffs on most goods it sells to the US from tomorrow, August 1, with the onus on a deal being sorted out today. Carney confirmed on Wednesday that trade negotiations had still not been agreed. "It is possible that [negotiations] may not conclude by August 1," Carney told a news conference. "But we'll see with the teams there. We're working hard." A White House official said Trump's own position on Palestinian statehood would not change and that he is instead focused on providing food aid in Gaza. The official spoke on condition of anonymity with AP to discuss Trump's stand. 'As the President stated, he would be rewarding Hamas if he recognizes a Palestinian state, and he doesn't think they should be rewarded,' the official said. Leaders are under mounting pressure over the issue as scenes of hunger in Gaza have horrified so many across the world. 'The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable,' Carney said. 'Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025,' Carney said — a move that he said was predicated on the Palestinian Authority 'holding general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part, and to demilitarize the Palestinian state.' Carney said he's 'not in any way or shape minimizing that scale of that task,' though he added it was clearly 'not a possibility in the near term.' He continued: 'Much has to happen before a democratic viable state is established." Pressure to formally recognize Palestinian statehood has increased since French President Emmanuel Macron announced last week that his country will become the first major Western power to recognize a Palestinian state in September. Carney said he spoke to Marcon on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Starmer said Britain would recognize a state of Palestine before the UN General Assembly in September, 'unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term, sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.' Carney said Canada is working with other states 'to preserve the possibility of a two-state solution, to not allow the facts on the ground, deaths on the ground, the settlements on the ground, the expropriations on the ground, to get to such an extent that this is not possible.' Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's government rejects a two-state solution on nationalistic and security grounds.

Russia has developed immunity to sanctions, Kremlin says after Trump tightens ceasefire deadline
MOSCOW, July 30 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday it continues to monitor statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding sanctions against Moscow, but that Russia had acquired immunity to such measures thanks to long experience. Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia in 10 days if Moscow showed no progress towards ending its more than three-year-long war in Ukraine. "We have been living under a huge number of sanctions for quite a long time, our economy operates under a huge number of restrictions," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "Therefore, of course, we have already developed a certain immunity in this regard, and we continue to note all statements that come from President Trump, from other international representatives on this matter." Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called the threat of new sanctions "routine" and said it was odd that the U.S. and the West had not yet understood that imposing such measures did not work and only served to hurt Western economies. "We see that the West simply cannot let go of the issue of sanctions. It seems as if they are constantly stuck in a rut," Zakharova told a news briefing in Moscow. "Apparently, there are no other options left - they have been exhausted. We are responding and taking measures to counteract all of this or even turn it to our own advantage."

Breakingviews - Ideal new HSBC chair would be opposite of its last
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters Breakingviews) - HSBC's (HSBA.L), opens new tab, ( opens new tab chairmen have always been hands-on. Even after the bank separated the role from the CEO position in the 1990s, executives like John Bond and Stephen Green went upstairs to lead the board rather than retiring. Mark Tucker's appointment broke the cycle of such internal elevations, but kept with the tradition of active chairs. In his eight years at the $220 billion bank, the soon-to-depart Brit managed to appoint three new CEOs while also providing the impetus for a vast restructuring. His replacement can arguably afford to be the first board head in HSBC's recent history to take more of a backseat. The lender is hitting its financial targets. CEO Georges Elhedery on Wednesday unveiled an 18.2% return on tangible equity for the first half of 2025, after excluding one-offs like a hit related to its stake in Bank of Communications. That's in line with his 'mid-teens' target for each year up to 2027. Investors seem broadly happy, despite a 3% selloff on Wednesday. HSBC trades at almost 1.4 times estimated tangible book value in 12 months' time, based on analyst forecasts gathered by LSEG, compared with less than 1 when Elhedery took the top job last year. So when Tucker moves on in September he will be leaving a very different bank for his replacement to the one he joined in 2017. The former professional soccer player streamlined the board and ditched CEO John Flint in 2019 to turbocharge a revamp. Noel Quinn, eventually appointed as Flint's successor, slashed costs and ditched units like its Canadian business and French retail banking. Tucker then settled the CEO succession question by picking Elhedery. But Ann Godbehere, the HSBC director running the search, appears to have hit a snag. The Financial Times recently reported, opens new tab that HSBC had launched a second sweep after struggling to find enough suitable candidates. Seasoned executives with strong Asian and Western connections are scarce. The obvious move for Godbehere would be to go for another hard charger. Elhedery and his new finance chief Pam Kaur are unproven at the very top level. An experienced financial-services executive like former DBS ( opens new tab CEO Piyush Gupta or HSBC's own erstwhile boss Stuart Gulliver could provide some firm executive guidance. So might ex-McKinsey head Kevin Sneader, currently president of Goldman Sachs' (GS.N), opens new tab Asia Pacific business outside Japan, ticking a key box for the Eastern-focused lender. Those names may not be available, though. Pay won't help. Tucker's total remuneration last year was about $2 million, which is reasonable for a UK chair but implies a large stepdown for any sitting CEOs or high-flying bankers that Godbehere may approach. Luckily, she can afford to widen the net. With no pressing need for a business overhaul, the key challenges now are mostly diplomatic in nature: keeping Ping An Insurance ( opens new tab, its uppity largest shareholder, sweet and helping HSBC toe a careful line between Beijing and Washington. A heavyweight regulator could work, like Financial Conduct Authority Chair Ashley Alder, who used to run the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. Former policymakers have successfully led the boardrooms of UBS (UBSG.S), opens new tab and other major global banks. Such an appointment would be a sharp break from HSBC's past. But it would also be a mark of how far the group has come. Follow Liam Proud on Bluesky, opens new tab and LinkedIn, opens new tab.
