KELLY/AFP Donald Trump is expected to tap US Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state, sources said, putting the Florida-born politician on track to be the first Latino to serve as America's top diplomat once the Republican takes office in January. Rubio was arguably the most hawkish option on Trump's shortlist for secretary of state, and he has in past years advocated for a muscular foreign policy with respect to America's geopolitical foes, including China, Iran and Cuba. Over the last several years he has softened some of his stances to align more closely with Trump's views. The president-elect accuses past US presidents of leading America into c...

Wall Street sees a buying opportunity in these crypto mining stocks

Some bitcoin miners are giving investors an opportunity to get in on the cryptocurrency's big postelection rally. Pure play bitcoin miners have been lagging this year for a host of reasons. Some names in the sector pivoted or expanded operations to AI data centers. Additionally, the launch of bitcoin ETFs in January gave investors a new vehicle for getting bitcoin exposure, which may have lowered demand for these stocks. Meanwhile, the halving on the Bitcoin network in April slashed miners' revenue in half, and the price of bitcoin – which can make mining more lucrative as it rises – drifted sideways for most of the year.

Photo: AFP / Pool / Manaui Faulalo Britain's Queen Camilla said she was "on the mend" as she returned to work on after suffering from a chest infection. Camilla, 77, was forced to cancel a number of engagements and missed last weekend's Remembrance Sunday event after falling ill, but was well enough to host a reception at her Clarence House home for authors shortlisted for the annual Booker Prize. "I'm on the mend, these things always take a bit of time to get rid of," she told author Percival Everett at the event. "You think you've got rid of it, then they just sort of hang on for a little bit, but hopefully I'm on the mend now." Camilla's diary of events has been shortened this week to help her recovery, and she will miss the Lon...

Canada, U.S. should eye own trade deal if no Mexican tariffs on China: Ford

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Tuesday suggested Mexico “shouldn’t have a seat at the table” in upcoming North American free trade talks if it doesn’t match Canadian and American tariffs on Chinese imports — and that Canada and the U.S. should focus on a new, bilateral deal instead. Ford’s statement comes as North America braces for the return of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to the White House and a scheduled review in 2026 of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which replaced NAFTA during Trump’s first term.Trump, and now Ford, have accused Mexico of allowing Chinese companies to bypass CUSMA rules and export vehicles and parts into the U.S. and Canada through Mexican-built manufacturing plants.“If Mexico won’t fight transshipment by, at the very least, matching Canadian...

Don’t miss Anya Hindmarch’s new must-have collection for Uniqlo

She’s London’s queen of quirky bags and off-beat sweaters — but fashion designer Anya Hindmarch also knows the power of a good bargain.

Last November, her line of knitwear, jumpers and accessories complete with her trademark, side-eye motif, flew off the high street giant’s shelves. “We had such a strong reaction to the first collection, it really was amazing,” she says. And so, more!Uniqlo“We have played with their iconic silhouettes, deconstructing, and then rebuilding with darning stitches, knitted-in patches and unexpected details. We...
