Maharashtra poll result: Sule vows to rebuild NCP (SP) with renewed commitmentArticle content WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City. Recommended Videos It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Beland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day.
Chennai: Cambridge University Press and Assessment launched a new course on Saturday to help classes IX and X students strengthen their STEM foundations. With more students aspiring to pursue careers in science and technology, many find it difficult to navigate resources available outside the classroom, often leading to confusion and gaps in learning, experts at Cambridge University Press and Assessment said. "There's an overwhelming amount of online resources, and with school hours already stretched, I don't have enough time to sift through them all," said Kanika Menon, a class X student from a Cambridge school in Sholinganallur. Students like Kanika are not alone. With the pressure of balancing schoolwork and self-study, many are turning to online courses but struggle to find suitable options. "My child is determined to prepare for competitive exams, but managing online courses alongside regular schoolwork is a challenge," said Priya Sharma, a parent of a class IX student. The Cambridge Connection Bridge Course covers core subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology (PCMB). It provides more than 15,000 competency-based questions, diagnostic quizzes and 70 hours of engaging video lectures, allowing students of Cambridge schools to learn at their own pace. "The goal is to give students a strong foundation, not only for school exams but also for competitive exams," said Arun Rajamani, Managing Director, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, South Asia. The course also helps teachers. "We will give them structured lesson plans, assessments, and a test bank of over 600 questions to create custom test papers. Cambridge will train educators in Chennai to seamlessly integrate the course into their curricula," he added.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor issued a warning from recent history over the dangers of getting carried away by their healthy lead in the title race. The William Hill Premiership leaders moved seven points clear of Aberdeen with a game in hand of their nearest rivals following a 1-0 win at Pittodrie on Wednesday night. Rangers are a further four points adrift but a 6-0 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox, on top of their 4-1 victory in Nice last week, suggests Philippe Clement’s side are starting to hit some form. McGregor is refusing to take notice of the table, pointing to last season as evidence of how quickly things can change. Brendan Rodgers’ side were seven points ahead of Rangers after seven matches but the Light Blues went top in February after Celtic drew at home to Kilmarnock. The Hoops were five points behind and a goal down at Motherwell at one stage but ended up winning the title by eight points. When asked about the league table, the midfielder said: “I think we were seven or eight points clear last year and then ended up seven behind. That shows you how quickly football can change and you have to learn from that experience as well. “We understand it’s a good start, of course it is, but the reason why it’s been a good start is because of the way we’re approaching the game, the way that we’re training, the relentless nature of the coaches and the players. “Everybody, every day, is giving their absolute all and I think the squad, you can see that when boys come into the team, there’s a hunger to do well and everything’s in a good place. “The only bit that we can control is that and then when we go to the pitch on a Saturday or a Wednesday, whatever day we’re playing, then we try to get the maximum out of that match that we possibly can. “We’ve ended up in a good position, but we’re not even halfway through yet, so we know there’s so much football to be played.” Celtic have now gone 29 domestic matches unbeaten but McGregor knows that record is down to keeping their standards high and making sure any sign of complacency is stamped down on. He said: “I’ll be backed up by a lot of senior players, a lot of good senior pros – our building’s full of them. The staff are unbelievable, they work tirelessly. “The work they put in every single day, the players respect that and the coaches respect the players. “It’s a brilliant place to work and if anybody’s having any days like that, then it’s very quickly nailed. We move on and we try to work in the right way.” Reo Hatate’s expertly-taken goal was enough to give Celtic victory in conditions that were among the worst McGregor had played in – wind speeds approached 50 miles per hour at a wet Pittodrie. “To be fair, the defenders read it really well and covered each other and always expected the worst,” he said. “Overall, I think it was a really impressive win in terms of the conditions and the way we played and the way we controlled the game. “Probably with the weather and the wind, that last wee bit was just missing in the first half. “It’s difficult but the players handled it really well. I thought we showed a really good level technically and tactically in the game.” This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.None
