Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney, left, shakes hands with China's President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing Friday, Jan. 16, 2026. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press via AP)2026-01-16T05:33:02Z BEIJING (AP) Breaking with the United States, Canada has agreed to cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday.Carney made the announcement after two days of meetings with Chinese leaders. He said there would be an initial cap of 49,000 vehicles on Chinese EV exports to Canada, growing to 70,000 over five years. China will reduce its tariff on canola seeds, a major Canadian export, from about 84% to about 15%, he told reporters.It has been a historic and productive two days, Carney said, speaking outside against the backdrop of a traditional pavilion and a frozen pond at a Beijing park. We have to understand the differences between Canada and other countries, and focus our efforts to work together where were aligned.Earlier Friday, he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping pledged to improve relations between their two nations after years of acrimony. Xi told Carney in a meeting at the Great Hall of the People that he is willing to continue working to improve ties, noting that talks have been underway on restoring and restarting cooperation since the two held an initial meeting in October on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in South Korea.It can be said that our meeting last year opened a new chapter in turning ChinaCanada relations toward improvement, Chinas top leader said. Carney looks to improve global governanceCarney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China in eight years, said better relations would help improve a global governance system that he described as under great strain.He called for a new relationship adapted to new global realities and cooperation in agriculture, energy and finance.Those new realities reflect in large part the so-called America-first approach of U.S. President Donald Trump. The tariffs he has imposed have hit both the Canadian and Chinese economies. Carney, who has met with several leading Chinese companies in Beijing, said ahead of his trip that his government is focused on building an economy less reliant on the U.S. at what he called a time of global trade disruption. A Canadian business owner in China called Carneys visit game-changing, saying it re-establishes dialogue, respect and a framework between the two nations.These three things we didnt have, said Jacob Cooke, the CEO of WPIC Marketing + Technologies, which helps exporters navigate the Chinese market. The parties were not talking for years.Canada had been aligned with US on tariffsCanada had followed the U.S. in putting tariffs of 100% on EVs from China and 25% on steel and aluminum under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Carneys predecessor.China responded by imposing duties of 100% on Canadian canola oil and meal and 25% on pork and seafood. It added a 75.8% tariff on canola seeds last August. Collectively, the import taxes effectively closed the Chinese market to Canadian canola, an industry group has said. Overall, Chinas imports from Canada fell 10.4% last year to $41.7 billion, according to Chinese trade data. China is hoping Trumps pressure tactics on allies such as Canada will drive them to pursue a foreign policy that is less aligned with the United States. The U.S. president has suggested Canada could become Americas 51st state.Carney departs China on Saturday and visits Qatar on Sunday before attending the annual gathering of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland next week. He will meet business leaders and investors in Qatar to promote trade and investment, his office said.___Associated Press business writer Chan Ho-him in Hong Kong contributed to this report.

A woman walks on a street past a Greenlandic national flag in Nuuk, Greenland, Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026. (AP Photo/Evgeniy Maloletka)2026-01-16T06:17:42Z NUUK, Greenland (AP) U.S. President Donald Trump has turned the Arctic island of Greenland into a geopolitical hotspot with his demands to own it and suggestions that the U.S. could take it by force.The island is a semiautonomous region of Denmark, and Denmarks foreign minister said Wednesday after a meeting at the White House that a fundamental disagreement remains with Trump over the island.The crisis is dominating the lives of Greenlanders and people are not sleeping, children are afraid, and it just fills everything these days. And we cant really understand it, Naaja Nathanielsen, a Greenlandic minister said at a meeting with lawmakers in Britains Parliament this week.Heres a look at what Greenlanders think: Trump undermining Greenlandic cultureTrump has dismissed Denmarks defenses in Greenland, suggesting its two dog sleds.By saying that, Trump is undermining us as a people, Mari Laursen told AP.Laursen said she used to work on a fishing trawler but is now studying law. She approached AP to say she thought previous examples of cooperation between Greenlanders and Americans are often overlooked when Trump talks about dog sleds. She said during World War II, Greenlandic hunters on their dog sleds worked in conjunction with the U.S. military to detect Nazi German forces on the island.The Arctic climate and environment is so different from maybe what they (Americans) are used to with the warships and helicopters and tanks. A dog sled is more efficient. It can go where no warship and helicopter can go, Laursen said. Greenlanders dont believe Trumps claimsTrump has repeatedly claimed Russian and Chinese ships are swarming the seas around Greenland. Plenty of Greenlanders who spoke to AP dismissed that claim.I think he (Trump) should mind his own business, said Lars Vintner, a heating engineer.Whats he going to do with Greenland? He speaks of Russians and Chinese and everything in Greenlandic waters or in our country. We are only 57,000 people. The only Chinese I see is when I go to the fast food market. And every summer we go sailing and we go hunting and I never saw Russian or Chinese ships here in Greenland, he said. Down at Nuuks small harbor, Gerth Josefsen spoke to AP as he attached small fish as bait to his lines. He said, I dont see them (the ships) and said he had only seen a Russian fishing boat ten years ago. Trump is interested in Greenlands critical mineralsMaya Martinsen, 21, a shop worker, told AP she doesnt believe Trump wants Greenland to enhance Americas security.I know its not national security. I think its for the oils and minerals that we have that are untouched, she said, suggesting the Americans are treating her home like a business trade.She said she thought it was good that American, Greenlandic and Danish officials met in the White House Wednesday and said she believes that the Danish and Greenlandic people are mostly on the same side, despite some Greenlanders wanting independence. It is nerve-wrecking, that the Americans arent changing their mind, she said, adding that she welcomed the news that Denmark and its allies would be sending troops to Greenland because its important that the people we work closest with, that they send support. Greenlanders get support from DenmarkTuuta Mikaelsen, a 22-year-old student, told AP that she hopes the U.S. got the message from Danish and Greenlandic officials to back off.She said she didnt want to join the United States because in Greenland there are laws and stuff, and health insurance .. .we can go to the doctors and nurses ... we dont have to pay anything, she said adding I dont want the U.S. to take that away from us.Greenland is at the center of a media stormIn Greenlands parliament, Juno Berthelsen, MP for the Naleraq opposition party that campaigns for independence in the Greenlandic parliament told AP that he has done multiple media interviews every day for the last two weeks.When asked by AP what he would say to Trump and Vice President JD Vance if he had the chance, Berthelsen said: I would tell them, of course, that as weve seen a lot of Republicans as well as Democrats are not in favor of having such an aggressive rhetoric and talk about military intervention, invasion. So we would tell them to move beyond that and continue this diplomatic dialogue and making sure that the Greenlandic people are the ones who are at the very center of this conversation. It is our country, he said. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people.___Kwiyeon Ha and Evgeniy Maloletka contributed to this report.

Iranian senior cleric Ahmad Khatami delivers his sermon during Friday prayer ceremony in Tehran, Iran, Friday, Jan. 5, 2018. (AP Photo/Ebrahim Noroozi, File)2026-01-16T11:53:05Z DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) A hard-line cleric leading Friday prayers in Irans capital demanded the death penalty for protesters detained in a nationwide crackdown and directly threatened U.S. President Donald Trump, showing the hard-line rage gripping the Islamic Republic after the demonstrations. Ayatollah Ahmad Khatamis sermon carried by Iranian state radio sparked chants from those gathered for prayers, including: Armed hypocrites should be put to death! Executions, as well as the killing of peaceful protesters, had been two of the red lines laid down by Trump for possible military action against Iran over the protests. Khatamis remarks also offered the first nationwide counts of damage done during the demonstrations, which began Dec. 28 over Irans ailing economy and soon morphed into demonstrations directly challenging the countrys theocracy. Iran cut off access to the internet Jan. 8 and intensified a bloody crackdown on all dissent, which the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reports killed at least 2,677 people. The Associated Press has been unable to independently assess the death toll and Iran has offered no overall casualty figures. Khatami, appointed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a member of both the countrys Assembly of Experts and Guardian Council, described the protesters at time as the butlers of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trumps soldiers. He insisted their plans had imagined disintegrating the country They should wait for hard revenge from the system, Khatami said of Netanyahu and Trump. Americans and Zionists should not expect peace.Khatami long has been known for his hard-line views in Iran, including in 2007 when he said a fatwa calling for the death of writer Salman Rushdie remained in effect. He also threatened Israel in a 2018 speech by saying Iran could raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground with its missile arsenal. Khatami also provided the first overall statistics on damage from the protests, claiming 350 mosques, 126 prayer halls and 20 other holy places had sustained damage. Another 80 homes of Friday prayer leaders an important position within Irans theocracy also had been damaged, likely underlining the anger demonstrators felt toward symbols of the countrys government. Khatami said 400 hospitals, 106 ambulance, 71 fire department vehicles and another 50 emergency vehicles sustained damage, showing the scale of the protests. They want you to withdraw from religion, Khatami said. They planned these crimes from a long time ago,Khatami, as a cleric in the public positions, would have access to such data from authorities and mentioning it at Friday prayers likely meant Irans government wanted the information to be communicated without having to formally address the public. He also issued a call for the arrest of individuals who supporters the rioters in any way. JON GAMBRELL Gambrell is the news director for the Gulf and Iran for The Associated Press.

Urns containing the remains of Cuban officers, who were killed during the U.S. operation in Venezuela that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, are displayed at the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces in Havana, Cuba, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026. (AP Photo/Jorge Luis Banos)2026-01-16T13:39:30Z HAVANA (AP) Tens of thousands of Cubans demonstrated Friday outside the U.S. Embassy in Havana to decry the killing of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela and demand that the U.S. government release former Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro.They crowded into the open-air Jos Mart Anti-Imperialist plaza across from the embassy in a rally organized by the Cuban government as tensions between Cuba and the U.S. spike following the U.S. attack Jan. 3 on Venezuela.The 32 Cuban officers were part of Maduros security detail killed during the raid on his residence in Caracas to seize the former leader and bring him to the U.S. to face drug trafficking charges.Humanity is experiencing something very complex, and (the US) is governed by a president who considers himself an emperor, said Ren Gonzlez, 64, one of the protesters. We must show him that ideas are worth more than weapons, he said. This march is a message of our unity. Independence is sacred, and we will defend it tooth and nail if necessary. Cubas national hymn rang out at Fridays demonstration as large Cuban flags waved in the chilly wind and big waves broke nearby along Havanas famed pier. President Miguel Daz-Canel shook hands with members of the crowd clad in jackets and scarves before speaking to them. The current U.S. administration has opened the door to an era of barbarism, plunder and neo-fascism, he said. The demonstration was a show of popular strength after U.S. President Donald Trump recently demanded that Cuba make a deal with him before it is too late. He did not explain what kind of deal.Trump also has said that Cuba will no longer live off Venezuelas oil and money. Experts say the move could have catastrophic consequences since Cuba is already struggling with severe blackouts.No one here surrenders, Daz-Canel said. The current emperor of the White House and his infamous secretary of state havent stopped threatening me. Washington has maintained a policy of sanctions against Cuba since the 1960s to pressure the islands government to improve its human rights record, end its one-party communist system and allow democracy. The sanctions have been further tightened during Trumps presidency, suffocating the islands economy.Cuba does not have to make any political concessions, and that will never be on the table for negotiations aimed at reaching an understanding between Cuba and the United States, Daz-Canel said. It is important that they understand this. We will always be open to dialogue and improving relations between our two countries, but only on equal terms and based on mutual respect.After the presidents speech, the demonstration transitioned into a parade that Cubans call a combatant march, a custom that originated during the time of the late leader Fidel Castro. The crowd was led by a line of people holding pictures of the 32 officers killed.Down with imperialism! the crowd yelled. Cuba will prevail!The demonstration was organized a day after tens of thousands of Cubans gathered at the headquarters of the Ministry of the Armed Forces to pay their respects to the 32 officers slain.Their remains arrived home on Thursday morning, and they are scheduled to be laid to rest on Friday afternoon in various cemeteries following memorial ceremonies in all of Cubas provincial capitals.___Associated Press reporter Dnica Coto in San Juan, Puerto Rico contributed to this report.
