US President Donald Trump celebrated his 100th day in office with a campaign-style speech, touting his achievements and targeting political foes, despite being the only post-World War Two president to have less than half the public's support at this stage. Trump claimed a "revolution of common sense" and said he was delivering "profound change", highlighting a dramatic fall in migrant crossings and deportations. However, his economic policies, including tariffs, have been criticized, and polls show his popularity has slipped to 44%. Trump's speech was marked by attacks on his predecessor Joe Biden and US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, and he dismissed polls showing his declining popularity as "fake". The Democratic National Committee criticized Trump's first 100 days as a "colossal failure", blaming him for rising costs and a potential recession.

Donald Trump falsely claimed at a rally in Michigan that he had already served three terms as president. Trump stated that he had "three victories" and doesn't like the "results of the middle term", referring to his losses and wins in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections. In reality, Trump won in 2016 and 2024 but lost to Joe Biden in 2020. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits a president from being elected more than twice. Trump also made other false claims, including that he won Michigan three times and that Democrats tried to cheat in the 2024 election.

Global populists who once emulated Donald Trump are now distancing themselves from him due to his power grabs, attacks on US allies, and tariff wars. Leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have seen a surge in popularity as they positioned themselves against Trump's policies. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's approval ratings improved after he dealt with Trump and supported Ukraine. Even right-wing leaders like Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage are reevaluating their associations with Trump. However, some populists like Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni continue to maintain a positive relationship with Trump. The article suggests that an anti-Trump message may be working for some leaders, but the long-term success of this strategy remains uncertain.

President Donald Trump held a rally in Warren, Michigan, on the 100th day of his presidency, declaring it the "most successful first 100 days of any administration in history." Despite a 41% approval rating, Trump's supporters were enthusiastic, and he used the event to air familiar grievances and make hyperbolic claims. Trump discussed his tariffs, tax plan, and immigration policies, but spent little time on the challenges ahead, including balancing the demands of automakers and the working class. He also made several false claims, including about the 2020 election and his handling of electric vehicles. As the White House turns its attention to Trump's legislative agenda, the next 100 days will be crucial in defining his presidency.

President Donald Trump's first 100 days in his second term have been marked by significant actions on the world stage, including new U.S. tariffs, stalled peace negotiations, and hardball diplomacy. Trump has made some progress in his goals, but others remain unmet. The conflict in Ukraine continues, despite a 30-day ceasefire protecting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to enter further agreements. Trump has issued a new ultimatum to Putin to reach a ceasefire deal within "two weeks or less." In Gaza, Hamas has ignored Trump's threats and rejected his proposal to turn the Gaza Strip into the "Riviera of the Middle East." Negotiations to release hostages have stalled, and 59 hostages remain in Gaza. The U.S. and Iran have begun negotiations over Tehran's advancing nuclear program, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi describing the talks as "very serious and work-focused." Relations between the U.S. and China have deteriorated amid a tariff battle, reaching a level of animosity not seen since Washington normalized ties with Beijing.

US President Donald Trump's administration has downplayed the significance of tariffs in its list of achievements, despite the president hailing them as a key economic agenda. In a speech, Trump justified tariffs on China as a measure to curb "job theft", but official White House and Treasury Department releases barely mentioned tariffs, instead highlighting job growth, investment, and regulatory cuts. Trump claimed countries, including China, were reaching out for trade talks, contradicting China's denials of ongoing negotiations.

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showed 45% of respondents gave Trump an F, while only 23% gave him an A. Trump's speech in Michigan included praising supporters with controversial pasts, criticizing Fed chairman Jay Powell, and mistakenly attacking a Republican he had previously endorsed.

Canada's Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, won the federal election, marking a significant turnaround in the country's politics. The party's victory is attributed to President Trump's threats to annex Canada and his imposition of tariffs, which dominated the campaign and swayed voters. Carney, a vocal critic of Trump, capitalized on Canadians' concerns over sovereignty and economic issues. The Liberals are projected to win more seats than the Conservatives, although it's unclear if they'll secure a majority. Carney vowed to take care of Canadians and asserted that the country's relationship with the US is changing, emphasizing the need for Canada to look out for itself. Trump's intervention in the election, including a Truth Social post urging Canadians to vote for annexation, backfired, with both Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre rejecting the idea of Canada becoming the 51st US state.

Canada's newly-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that his country will deal with US President Donald Trump "on our terms", emphasizing Canada's sovereignty and deserving respect from the US. Carney said he would only visit Washington when there's a "serious discussion to be had" and that talks with Trump would be on Canada's terms. He also expressed that making Canada the "51st state" of America was "never, ever going to happen". Carney has since spoken to Trump and agreed to meet in the near future. The two countries have strained relations due to Trump's tariffs and comments about Canada, but Carney is looking to build on trading relationships with the EU and UK, and has suggested that Canada and the UK could sign a free trade agreement.

Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is projected to lose his parliamentary seat to Liberal candidate Bruce Fanjoy, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The loss is seen as a stunning defeat for Poilievre, who has held the seat for over 20 years. The outcome is attributed to the influence of US President Donald Trump's tariffs and comments on Canada's election, with Prime Minister Mark Carney criticizing Trump's policies as a "betrayal" in his victory speech.

Mark Carney's Liberal Party won the Canadian election in a stunning comeback, fueled by Donald Trump's threats to Canada's economy and sovereignty. The Liberals were initially expected to lose, but Trump's actions, including suggesting Canada become the 51st US state, sparked a surge in nationalism that helped the party gain support. Carney vowed to take a tougher approach with Washington over tariffs and reduce Canada's reliance on the US. The Conservative Party's leader, Pierre Poilievre, who echoed some of Trump's rhetoric, lost his own parliamentary seat. Carney's victory is seen as a significant upset, with his party overcoming a 25-point deficit in the polls.

Mark Carney, Canada's new prime minister, won a rare fourth term for his party and must now deliver on his promises to stand up to President Trump and boost the economy. Carney inherited a messy situation, including a parliament that has not been in session since before Christmas and a lack of a majority government, requiring him to court smaller parties to pass legislation. Canadian businesses are looking to Carney to restore order to commerce with the US, which has been disrupted by Trump's tariffs. Carney's anti-Trump campaign rhetoric has elevated him to a global anti-Trump figure, but he may need to strike a more nuanced tone in negotiations with Trump. Carney will host the G7 summit in June, which will be an early test of his ability to manage dealing with Trump and other world leaders.
