U.S. President Donald Trump talks with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a North Atlantic Treaty Organization Plenary Session at the NATO summit in Watford, Britain, December 4, 2019.
Hard Numbers: Trump says Canada should join the US, Ireland’s new government braces for Trump tariffs, Research confirms Kremlin abducted Ukrainian children, Vietnam real-estate tycoon faces death sentence for fraud
1,000: The winners of Ireland’s election last week are scrambling to put together a new coalition government before Donald Trump takes office in January, expediting a process that normally takes months. The rush comes from Irish lawmakers recognizing that they must form a government strong enough to withstand the threat of Trump’s tariffs and protectionist rhetoric. The nearly 1,000 American multinational companies operating in Ireland are by far the biggest contributors to the state’s income and corporate tax bases, leaving the Emerald Isle highly exposed if American companies begin reshoring to avoid tariffs.
314: Research from Yale’s School of Public Health revealed on Tuesday that Russia took 314 children from occupied Ukrainian territories, stripped them of their Ukrainian identity, and put them in the custody of Russian families using the Kremlin’s aircraft and funds. The report asserts that the deportations were part of a systemic, Putin-backed program to “Russify” Ukrainian children.

It offered to downgrade the sentence to life in prison if she reimbursed $11 billion, but her lawyers argued she had already repaid the money. The scale of Lan’s deception rattled Vietnam’s economic outlook earlier this year, spooking foreign investors at a time when Vietnam was trying to position itself as an alternative for businesses moving their supply chains away from China.
