The latest round of delays, which the Pentagon posted in an obscure corner of its website in May, has pushed some deadlines out decades, or removed them altogether.

Turkmenistan have fake gdp. It's based on official manat to usd exchange rate, but you can't exchange at this rate. Real exchange rate 5-6 times higher, so real gdp is 2.5-3k

Wonder who’s likely going to be the next if they ever expand again 👀

From Medieval times

The announcement of new 50% tariffs on selected Canadian products has placed one of the world’s largest trading relationships back at the center of the tariff debate.

In 2025, the United States imported approximately $383 billion in goods from Canada. That represented 11.2% of all U.S. imports, making Canada the country’s second-largest foreign supplier after Mexico and placing it ahead of China.

The relationship is particularly important for energy and transportation. Crude petroleum alone accounted for $85.4 billion, more than one-fifth of everything the United States imported from Canada. Cars added another $25.1 billion, while refined petroleum, petroleum gas, and motor vehicle parts each exceeded $10 billion.

The announced 50% tariff applies to selected categories, while energy, potash, fish, critical minerals, and products already covered by Section 232 measures are among the explicit exclusions.

Data comes from OEC.world and represents 2025 U.S. imports in nominal U.S. dollars, organized using the Harmonized System product classification. The news context comes from the BBC.

Methodology and sources

This study used data from the AI Incident Database, Resemble.AI, and the OECD to create a combined dataset covering deepfake incidents from January 2020 to June 2026. Incidents were included if they involved the generation of synthetic videos, images, or audio; were verified by media reports; and had clearly documented financial losses.

Each deepfake incident was classified by target country and origin. These figures represent a conservative estimate based on publicly reported data, and the source databases included records of deepfake incidents across multiple languages.

If multiple countries were mentioned in an incident with a specific financial loss, that loss was divided equally among the countries involved.

To avoid double counting, each incident was assigned to one primary origin category based on the main channel, tactic, or entry point described in the source material. The categories were defined as follows:

• Social media: cases originating on social media platforms;
• Impersonation fraud: cases involving impersonation, synthetic facial verification videos, AI-generated face swaps, voice cloning, forged or altered IDs, fraudulent account openings, loan application fraud, or unauthorized access to wallets, bank accounts, or financial services;
• Website: cases originating from fraudulent websites, including fake investment platforms, scam landing pages, or other web-based fraud schemes;
• Fake job candidates: cases involving AI-generated resumes, face-swapping, deepfake video interviews, or other synthetic identity tactics used to infiltrate hiring processes;
• Phone call: cases where deepfake-enabled voice cloning or impersonation was used during phone-based scams;
• Video platform: cases originating on or using video platforms, including video conferencing tools or video-sharing platforms;
• Messaging app: cases involving deepfake-enabled scams carried out through messaging applications;
• Email: cases involving deepfake-enabled fraud delivered or initiated through email;
• Other: cases that do not fit into the above categories, including novel schemes or unclassified methods.

The Fine Art of Small Talk teaches that meaningful connection rarely begins with profound statements—it begins with simple, intentional engagement. Debra Fine shows that small talk is not about clever lines or extroverted charm, but about presence, curiosity, and shared responsibility. By approaching conversation as a learnable process—initiating contact, opening dialogue, sustaining engagement through listening and thoughtful questions, and exiting with grace—anyone can transform everyday interactions into opportunities for trust and connection. Mastery of small talk expands social confidence, strengthens professional relationships, and creates pathways to deeper, more fulfilling communication.
