ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Clinical South Africa thrash Canada by 57 runs

Skipper Aiden Markram led from the front with a flamboyant half-century as South Africa registered a comprehensive 57-run win over Canada in their opening Group D T20 World Cup match here on Monday. Sent in to bat, Markram blasted 10 fours and a six on way to a 59 off 32 balls. Ryan Rickelton (33), Quinton de Kock (25), Tristan Stubbs (34) and David Miller (39) also made useful contributions as South Africa posted 213 for 4 after being asked to take first strike. In reply, Canada could manage just 156 for 8 in their stipulated 20 overs with Navneet Dhaliwal (64) emerging as their top scorer. Canada had a torrid start to their chase, losing skipper Dilpreet Bajwa who edged a Lungi Ngidi (4/31) delivery to wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock in the first ball of the innings. Thereafter, Dhaliwal and Yuvraj Samra piled up 17 runs in the first two overs before losing two wickets. Ngidi struck twin blows in the third over, first removing Samra as he edged one to de Kock and then two balls la

Canada, France open consulates in Greenland amid US push to gain control

Canada and France opened diplomatic consulates on Friday in the capital of Greenland, showing support for NATO ally Denmark and the Arctic island in the wake of US efforts to secure control of the semiautonomous Danish territory. Canada's maple-leaf flag went up and dozens of people sang "O Canada" as Foreign Minister Anita Anand officially opened the country's consulate in Nuuk, which is also the largest city of the icy Arctic island. "The significance of raising this flag today and formally opening the consulate is that we will stand together with the people of Greenland and Denmark on many issues," she said. Anand cited deepening ties on defence, security, climate change, economic resilience and Arctic co-operation. France's Foreign Ministry said Jean-Noel Poirier was taking up his duties as consul general on Friday, making it the first European Union country to establish a consulate general in Greenland. Greenland's Sermitsiaq reported that Poirier had arrived on Friday along

Trump threatens 50% tariff on Canadian aircraft as trade dispute deepens

President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened Canada with a 50 per cent tariff on any aircraft sold in the US, the latest salvo in his trade war with America's northern neighbour as his feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney expands. Trump's threat posted on social media came after he threatened over the weekend to impose a 100 per cent tariff on goods imported from Canada if it went forward with a planned trade deal with China. But Trump's threat did not come with any details about when he would impose the import taxes, as Canada had already struck a deal. In Trump's latest threat, the Republican president said he was retaliating against Canada for refusing to certify jets from Savannah, Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace. Trump said the US, in return, would decertify all Canadian aircraft, including its Bombardier. "If, for any reason, this situation is not immediately corrected, I am going to charge Canada a 50 per cent Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of

Carney says Trump's tariff threats are bluster ahead of US-Canada FTA talks

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday some of US President Donald Trump's threats should be viewed as prepositioning ahead of negotiations to renew the free trade pact between the two large trading partners. Carney noted they are entering a review of the United StatesMexicoCanada Agreement this year and said he expects a "robust review". "The president is a strong negotiator, and some of these comments and positioning should be viewed in the broader context of that," Carney said. Trump threatened this past weekend to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America's northern neighbour went ahead with a trade deal with Beijing, something Carney said Canada has no interest in. Carney has said his recent agreement with China merely cuts tariffs on a few sectors that were recently hit with tariffs. In 2024, Canada mirrored the United States by putting a 100% tariff on electric vehicles from Beijing and a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum. China had responded by
