CNN — Russia has revoked the accreditation of two British diplomats over alleged intelligence activities, the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Monday, the latest in a series of tit-for-tat diplomatic rebukes that was quickly dismissed by London as “baseless.” The men “intentionally provided false information” when they received permission to enter Russia, which violated Russian law, and the service discovered “signs of carrying out intelligence and subversive work by the said diplomats that threatens the security of the Russian Federation,” an FSB statement said. The pair were ordered to leave Russia within two weeks. The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned…
Washington CNN — President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200% on dairy products imported from the US. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact. Those high tariffs kick in only after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its allowed zero-tariff maximum in any category of dairy product. In many categories, notably including milk, the US is not even at half of the zero-tariff maximum. “In practice,…
Washington CNN — The Trump administration is canceling 83% of programs at the US Agency for International Development and intends to fold the remaining programs under the State Department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday. The move to have the remaining 1,000 USAID programs administered by the State Department would cap the quick and drastic dismantlement of the US’ independent humanitarian organization, which had been demonized by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. “After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID,” Rubio said in a post on X from his personal account,…
New York CNN — CVS is looking to grow itself by shrinking. The pharmacy chain is opening around a dozen stores this year that are about the half the size of its traditional layout and have only a pharmacy — ditching the front-end of the store that traditionally has sold snacks, greeting cards and other consumer staples. The smaller stores are one aspect of CVS’ turnaround plans, which have also included more than 1,000 store closures and thousands of layoffs, as the chain looks to adjust in an industry currently undergoing an upheaval. Drug store chains have become ubiquitous and…
New York CNN — President Donald Trump did not totally reverse the 25% tariffs he enacted earlier this month on just about every Mexican and Canadian good shipped to the United States. Although he announced a tariff delay on Thursday through April 2, that was far from a complete pause. The devil is in one big detail: To avoid tariffs during the delay, goods coming from Mexico and Canada must comply with the USMCA free trade treaty that Trump signed during his first term. As it stands, only around 50% of the goods the US imports from Mexico and 38%…

Tampa Bay Rays owner Stu Sternberg is reportedly facing increased pressure to sell the franchise from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and other owners, according to The Athletic. MLB could even try to take away part of the Rays’ revenue-sharing income to try and force a sale, per the report. The Rays get $60 million in revenue sharing currently.

CNN — The Supreme Court on Monday said it would review a Colorado law that bars mental health professionals from practicing “conversion therapy” for minors, a discredited practice that attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor and practicing Christian, challenged that law under the First Amendment, claiming that her patients voluntarily seek out her services. Chiles, who was represented by the religious group Alliance Defending Freedom, argued that the laws enacted in Colorado and more than 19 other states “silence counselors’ ability to express views their clients seek.” But state officials countered…
Cannes, France CNN — The United States has extended its lead over other nations as the world’s biggest exporter of weapons, with Europe now its main customer. The US accounted for 43% of global weapons exports between 2020 and 2024, more than four times the share of France, the world’s second-largest exporter, according to new data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). That’s up from a 35% share commanded by America between 2015 and 2019, the think tank said in a report published Monday. Europe has grown increasingly reliant on US-made weapons over the past decade, the report…
