President Donald Trump stated on October 25th, 2025, that he will not reschedule a meeting with Vladimir Putin unless he knows "we're going to make a deal." This declaration comes amidst ongoing international relations and trade discussions. Separately, questions were raised regarding the justification for the new 10% tariff on imports from Canada, with one source questioning if it relates to the fentanyl or reciprocal trade emergencies, or if "hurt feelings" are now a national emergency. Over the past hour, President Trump's stance on a potential meeting with Putin was reported by Fox News. The recent announcement of a 10% tariff increase on Canadian goods, made by President Trump on October 25th, 2025, at approximately 8:00 PM UTC, has also drawn scrutiny. A Supreme Court case scheduled for November 5th may address whether a TV ad quoting Ronald Reagan qualifies as an emergency allowing the president to circumvent Congress's power over tariffs, according to Jon Karl. This follows previous reports from October 25th detailing the tariff announcement and its potential impact on trade relations. In other developments, a new butterfly species has been named after Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee fatally stabbed in Charlotte, ensuring she is "never forgotten," as stated by the scientist involved. Meanwhile, in Athens, Georgia, a man dressed as a Nazi for Halloween reportedly hit a woman after being shamed for his costume, according to FearedBuck. Andrew Cuomo, in a statement shared by Ellie Cohanim, urged voters to support him, referencing a man who "campaigned with a WTC co-conspirator" and suggesting a connection to City Hall. Additionally, Zohran Mamdani expressed support for the St. John's basketball team, calling them a "New York City institution" in a post shared by Andrew Cuomo. Previous reports from October 25th indicated that President Trump had previously stated he could "always use the Insurrection Act" to send more troops to US cities and would terminate all trade negotiations with Canada. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also announced on October 24th, 2025, the deportation of over 2 million individuals, including members of the Tren de Aragua gang, back to Venezuela, a measure overseen by President Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem.
