U.K.’s Starmer says no ‘divide’ with Trump despite threats to annex Canada – National

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday declined to weigh in on U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state, before Trump cut off the U.K. leader’s answer entirely during a joint press conference. Starmer was asked whether he or King Charles III was concerned about Trump’s rhetoric toward a Commonwealth member at the end of a visit to the White House that included multiple meetings on issues like trade and the war in Ukraine.The British leader said the topic of Canada did not come up during those talks and sought to highlight the historic friendship between the United Kingdom and United States.“I think you’re trying to find a divide between us that doesn’t exist,” Starmer said.After continuing with his answer for a moment, Trump interrupted with “that...

Study decodes how gastric bacteria leads to stomach cancer

Gastric bacteria, which leaks around the stomach lining, plays a significant role in the onset of stomach cancer -- which has limited treatment options and poor survival rates, according to a study on Wednesday.  The study led by researchers from the University of Birmingham identified a crucial interaction between Helicobacter pylori and non-H. pylori bacteria in the pre-cancerous stage of gastric cancer. The results, published in the journal Helicobacter, could pave the way for a more effective treatment of pre-cancer. “We are excited about the potential of this observation to open a new avenue of research in the prevention of stomach cancer. It is possible that a simple antibiotic treatment could be administered to treat these bacteria. However, there is a lot more work to do,” said ...

Yet that pressure has only grown under the new Trump administration in the U.S.Last week, the White House said it expects all NATO allies to be meeting the two per cent target by June, when leaders gather at the Hague for the alliance’s annual summit.Experts who study Canadian defence and financial policy used words like “impossible” and “not realistic” when asked if hitting that June deadline was feasible.“You’re talking about increasing our defence spending by almost 50 per cent,” said Stephen Saideman, the Paterson Chair of International Affairs at Carleton University and di...
