Trump must put his words into action
Through these columns I would urge the head of government of world's most powerful country to walk the talk in order to strengthen his credentials for the Nobel Peace Prize. No doubt, President Trump is rightly credited for effecting a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May.
He also successfully ended the 12-day war between Israel and Iran last month. It is quite likely that he would be using his good offices for a much-needed ceasefire in Gaza where human misery has reached a situation, which is beyond description, beyond atrocious and beyond inhumane.
Doctors in Gaza, for example, have warned that thousands of babies could die, as baby formula supplies run dry under Israel's inhumane blockade.
President Trump must do the needful so as to become the fifth president of the US to have won the Nobel Peace Prize (after Barrack Obama, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter, with Carter becoming the recipient of Nobel Peace Prize after leaving office).
In sum, the situation has clearly thrown up an opportunity for President Trump. He should grab it with both hands.

Canada's trade deficit in May narrows, exports to US drop
OTTAWA: Canada's trade deficit in May met expectations and narrowed after a record breaking deficit in April, data showed on Thursday, as total exports rose and imports fell even as the impact of the U.S. tariffs dented shipments south of the border. The trade deficit in May was at C$5.9 billion ($4.34 billion), down from a downwardly revised C$7.6 billion in the prior month, Statistics Canada said, led by a 1.1% increase in exports on a monthly basis which followed a 11% slump in April. This was the first increase in exports in four months, Statscan said, and was driven by record exports to the rest of the world, excluding the U.S. Exports and imports to the U.S. dropped to their lowest levels in May, barring the pandemic year of 2020. Exports to the U.S., the destination for three quarters of Canada's outbound shipments, fell for the fourth month in a row with May registering a drop of 0.9%. In volume terms total exports were up 0.7% in May. Canada rescinds digital services tax in bid to advance trade talks with US President Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on imports of Canada-made automobiles and 50% tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from the north of the border. Canada has also imposedretaliatory tariffs on U.S. This trade skirmish between the two countries whose bilateral trade surpassed a trillion Canadian dollars last year has depleted Canada's exports and has hit the job market. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump have agreed to reach some form of a trade deal by July 21. Canada's total exports for May were at C$60.81 billion, up from C$60.12 billion in April, led by exports of metallic and non-metallic mineral products, Statscan said. This category increased by 15.1% and was driven by mainly exports of unwrought gold which posted an increase of 30.1% to reach a record $5.9 billion. 'Most of the rise was attributable to higher physical shipments of gold to the United Kingdom,' the statistics agency said. Excluding metal and non-metallic mineral products, total exports were down 1.2%, it added. As trade with the U.S. has dropped, Canadian companies have been scouting for opportunities to increase trade with rest of the world. Exports to countries other than the United States rose 5.7% in May to reach a record high, Statscan said, but it was not enough to mitigate the impact of loss of exports to the U.S., as well as China due to a drop in canola and crude oil shipments. Total imports dropped by 1.6% to C$66.66 billion, with imports from the U.S. falling by 1.2% in May. The Canadian dollar slightly weakened after the trade data and was trading down 0.23% to 1.3615 to the U.S. dollar. Yields on the two-year government bonds were up 3.7 basis points to 2.706%.

Hamas seeks ceasefire guarantees as scores more killed in Gaza
CAIRO/GAZA: Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new U.S. ceasefire proposal for Gaza would lead to the war's end, a source close to Hamas said on Thursday, as medics said Israeli strikes across the territory had killed scores more people. Israeli officials said prospects for reaching a ceasefire deal and hostage deal appeared high, nearly 21 months since the war between Israel and Hamas began. On the ground, intensified Israeli strikes across Gaza continued unabated, killing at least 59 people on Thursday, according to health authorities in the territory. Efforts for a Gaza truce have gathered steam after the U.S. secured a ceasefire to end a 12-day aerial conflict between Israel and Iran. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Israel had accepted the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, during which the parties will work to end the war. Hamas is seeking clear guarantees that the ceasefire will eventually lead to the war's end, the source close to the group said. Two Israeli officials said that those details were still being worked out. Trump urges Hamas to accept 'final proposal' for 60-day Gaza ceasefire Ending the war has been the main sticking point in repeated rounds of failed negotiations. A separate source familiar with the matter said that Israel was expecting Hamas' response by Friday and that if it was positive, an Israeli delegation would join indirect talks to cement the deal. It was unclear whether those would be held in Egypt or Qatar, the two countries that have been mediating talks. The proposal includes the staggered release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the return of the bodies of 18 more in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, sources say. Of the 50 remaining hostages in Gaza, 20 are believed to still be alive. A senior Israeli official close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said preparations were in place to approve a ceasefire deal even as the premier heads to Washington to meet Trump on Monday. 'Readiness to advance' Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen, who sits on Netanyahu's security cabinet, told news website Ynet that there was 'definitely readiness to advance a deal.' In Gaza, however, there was little sign of relief. At least 17 people were killed in an Israeli strike that hit a school in Gaza City where displaced families were sheltering, according to medics. Hamas orders Gaza clan leader to surrender, accuses him of treason 'Suddenly, we found the tent collapsing over us and a fire burning. We don't know what happened,' one witness, Wafaa Al-Arqan, told Reuters. 'What can we do? Is it fair that all these children burned?' According to medics at Nasser hospital farther south, at least 20 people were killed by Israeli fire en route to an aid distribution site. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports and that its forces were taking precautions to mitigate harm to civilians as it battled Hamas throughout Gaza. Israel's subsequent military assault has killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry, while displacing most of the population of more than 2 million, triggering widespread hunger and leaving much of the territory in ruins. Israel says it won't end the war while Hamas is still armed and ruling Gaza. Hamas, severely weakened, says it won't lay down its weapons but is willing to release all the hostages still in Gaza if Israel ends the war.

Afghan refugees stuck in Pakistan as Germany halts entry programme
BERLIN/ISLAMABAD: In a cramped guesthouse in Pakistan's capital, 25-year-old Kimia spends her days sketching women — dancing, playing, resisting —in a notebook that holds what's left of her hopes. A visual artist and women's rights advocate, she fled Afghanistan in 2024 after being accepted on to a German humanitarian admission program aimed at Afghans considered at risk under the Taliban. A year later, Kimia is stuck in limbo. Thousands of kilometres away in Germany, an election in February where migration dominated public debate and a change of government in May resulted in the gradual suspension of the programme. Now the new centre-right coalition intends to close it. The situation echoes that of nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared to settle in the United States, but who then found themselves in limbo in January after US President Donald Trump took office and suspended refugee programmes. Kimia's interview at the German embassy which she hoped would result in a flight to the country and the right to live there, was abruptly cancelled in April. Meanwhile, Germany pays for her room, meals and medical care in Islamabad. 'All my life comes down to this interview,' she told Reuters. She gave only her artist name for fear of reprisal. 'We just want to find a place that is calm and safe,' she said of herself and the other women at the guesthouse. The admission programme began in October 2022, intending to bring up to 1,000 Afghans per month to Germany who were deemed at risk because of their work in human rights, justice, politics or education, or due to their gender, religion or sexual orientation. However, fewer than 1,600 arrived in over two years due to holdups and the cancellation of flights. Today, around 2,400 Afghans are waiting to travel to Germany, the German foreign ministry said. Whether they will is unclear. NGOs say 17,000 more are in the early stages of selection and application under the now dormant scheme. The foreign ministry said entry to Germany through the program was suspended pending a government review, and the government will continue to care for and house those already in the program. It did not answer Reuters' questions on the number of cancelled interviews, or how long the suspension would last. Reuters spoke with eight Afghans living in Pakistan and Germany, migration lawyers and advocacy groups, who described the fate of the programme as part of a broader curb on Afghan asylum claims in Germany and an assumption that Sunni men in particular are not at risk under the Taliban. The German government says there is no specific policy of reducing the number of Afghan migrants. However, approval rates for Afghan asylum applicants dropped to 52% in early 2025, down from 74% in 2024, according to the Federal Migration Office (BAMF). Trump to pull nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees from flights, say US official, advocate Political shift Kabul fell to the Taliban in August 2021. Since May 2021 Germany has admitted about 36,500 vulnerable Afghans by various pathways including former local staff, the government said. Thorsten Frei, chief of staff to Germany's new chancellor Friedrich Merz, said humanitarian migration has now reached levels that 'exceed the integration capacity of society.' 'As long as we have irregular and illegal migration to Germany, we simply cannot implement voluntary admission programs.' The interior ministry said programs like the one for Afghans will be phased out and they are reviewing how to do so. Several Afghans are suing the government over the suspension. Matthias Lehnert, a lawyer representing them, said Germany could not simply suspend their admissions without certain conditions such as the person no longer being at risk. Since former chancellor Angela Merkel opened Germany's borders in 2015 to over a million refugees, public sentiment has shifted, partly as a result of several deadly attacks by asylum seekers. The far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD), capitalising on the anti-migrant sentiment, surged to a historic second-place finish in February's election. Afghans Reuters spoke with said they feared they were being unfairly associated with the perpetrators, and this was putting their own lives at risk if they had to return to Afghanistan. 'I'm so sorry about those people who are injured or killed … but it's not our fault,' Kimia said. Afghan Mohammad Mojib Razayee, 30, flew to Germany from Cyprus in March under a European Union voluntary solidarity mechanism, after a year of waiting with 100 other refugees. He said he was at risk after criticising the Taliban. Two weeks after seeking asylum in Berlin, his application was rejected. He was shocked at the ruling. BAMF found no special protection needs in his case, a spokesperson said. 'It's absurd — but not surprising. The decision-making process is simply about luck, good or bad,' said Nicolas Chevreux, a legal advisor with AWO counseling center in Berlin. Chevreux said he believes Afghan asylum cases have been handled differently since mid-2024, after a mass stabbing at a rally in the city of Mannheim, in which six people were injured and a police officer was killed. An Afghan asylum seeker was charged and is awaiting trial. 'You don't live' Spending most days in her room, surrounded by English and German textbooks, Kimia says returning to Afghanistan is unthinkable. Her art could make her a target. 'If I go back, I can't follow my dreams - I can't work, I can't study. It's like you just breathe, but you don't live.' Under Taliban rule, women are banned from most public life, face harassment by morality police if unaccompanied by a male guardian, and must follow strict dress codes, including face coverings. Probe urged into reported killing of Afghan migrants on Iran border When security forces raided homes, Kimia said, she would frantically hide her artwork. The Taliban say they respect women's rights in accordance with their interpretation of Islamic law and local culture and that they are not targeting former foes. Hasseina, is a 35-year-old journalist and women's rights activist from Kabul who fled to Pakistan and was accepted as an applicant on to the German programme. Divorced and under threat from both the Taliban and her ex-husband's family, who she says have threatened to kill her and take her daughter, she said returning is not an option. The women are particularly alarmed as Pakistan is intensifying efforts to forcibly return Afghans. The country says its crackdown targets all undocumented foreigners for security reasons. Pakistan's foreign ministry did not respond to request for comment on how this affects Afghans awaiting German approval. The German foreign ministry has said it is aware of two families promised admission to Germany who were detained for deportation, and it was working with Pakistan authorities to stop this. Marina, 25, fled Afghanistan after being separated from her family. Her mother, a human rights lawyer, was able to get to Germany. Marina has been waiting in Pakistan to follow her for nearly two years with her baby. 'My life is stuck, I want to go to Germany, I want to work, I want to contribute. Here I am feeling so useless,' she said.
