The proposed truce calls for talks on ending the 21-month war altogether.

Poland reinstates border controls with Germany and Lithuania to discourage asylum-seekers

Poland reinstates border controls with Germany and Lithuania to discourage asylum-seekers
SLUBICE, Poland (AP) — Poland reinstated border controls on Monday with neighboring Germany and Lithuania following similar German restrictions imposed earlier this year aimed at discouraging asylum-seekers. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose government recently survived a confidence vote in parliament, announced the restrictions last week. Pressure has been mounting after far-right groups in Poland have alleged Germany was transporting migrants into Polish territory after they reached Western Europe. The reinstated controls, which began overnight Sunday, will last for an initial period of 30 days, though authorities have not ruled out extending them, according to the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration. 'Illegal migration is simply a crime,' Polish Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said Sunday during a news conference. The Polish border with Lithuania, which stretches 104 kilometers (65 miles), will see checks in 13 locations. Poland's border with Germany, 467 kilometers (290 miles) long, will have controls at 52 crossing points. After taking office in May, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who made a tougher migration policy a pillar of his election campaign, ordered more police at the border and said some asylum-seekers trying to enter Europe's biggest economy would be turned away. Last week, Merz said Poland and Germany were in close contact to keep the impact of Germany's border controls 'as low as possible.' The European Union has a visa-free travel area, known as Schengen, that allows citizens of most member states to travel easily across borders for work and pleasure. Switzerland also belongs to Schengen although it is not an EU member. According to the EU, member states are allowed to temporarily reintroduce border controls in cases of a serious threat, like internal security. It says border controls should be applied as a last resort in exceptional situations, and must be limited in time. __ Associated Press videojournalist Rafal Niedzielski in Warsaw, Poland, contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP's global coverage of migration at

Politicians overstating benefits of scrapping internal trade barriers: think tank
OTTAWA – A new report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives is dismissing moves by the federal government and Canada's premiers to break down internal trade barriers as little more than 'political theatre.' It lands just ahead of the country's internal trade ministers meeting in Quebec City this week, where they are expected to talk about their next steps as they rush to remove rules hampering cross-provincial trade. Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed throughout the spring election to forge 'one Canadian economy' with the premiers by eliminating internal barriers to trade and labour mobility in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs. Internal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland has pointed to studies that say internal trade barriers amount to a seven per cent tariff that Canada imposes on itself, and that removing them could boost the economy by up to $200 billion. But the left-leaning think tank's report released this morning reviews the steps taken by Ottawa and the provinces to remove red tape and argues they will do little to mitigate the tariff threat or significantly boost the economy. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The study authors say federal and provincial politicians have only been able to point to a handful of examples where getting rid of overlapping regulations could have an impact. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 7, 2025.
