Top Political Headlines: Trump’s Water War, Missile Defense, and Security Revocations

The Columbia River Treaty between the U.S.

and Canada, which has governed water flow and hydroelectric power for decades, is now in jeopardy.

Trump’s administration has halted negotiations, claiming the river’s water could help California’s shortages.

Experts warn this could escalate tensions and harm ecosystems.

Trump once called the river a 'very large faucet' that could be redirected to Los Angeles.

Environmentalists and Canadian officials are concerned about the broader implications of this move.

The Pentagon is scrambling to develop Trump’s ambitious ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense system, which aims to protect the

U.S.

from long-range attacks.

However, experts say the plan is vague, costly, and technically challenging.

Unlike Israel’s Iron Dome, which defends a small area, Trump’s vision requires a space-based system covering the entire

U.S.

Critics argue it’s financially unfeasible and could destabilize global nuclear deterrence.

In a bold move, Trump has revoked security clearances for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and several former Biden

officials.

The decision means they can no longer access classified briefings or secure government facilities.

This follows Biden’s 2021 decision to strip Trump of intelligence briefings.

The move is seen as a political statement, further deepening partisan divides.

Some Americans, like Grace Hern, have moved to Canada to escape U.S.

politics.

She left Wisconsin in 2023, fearing political instability and seeking better healthcare.

However, she finds it hard to escape U.S.

influence, as Canada faces its own political shifts, including rising nationalism.

Housing and job markets remain tough, making the transition challenging.
