Trump went on in the statement to say that he has cancelled all his meetings with Iranian officials and is completely opposed to what he calls senseless killing. The statement comes after Trump announced that the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on any country that trades with Iran.

The heads of all 27 European Union member states gathered in Brussels on January 22 to hold an emergency meeting regarding Trump’s continued verbal threats to annex Greenland. Trump has been continually making it known that he wants to own Greenland, a self-governing part of the Kingdom of Denmark. With the World Economic Forum at Davos wrapping up on January 23, Donald Trump spent more than an hour addressing the summit during his time there. Trump flip-flopped between threatening multiple sovereign nations and claiming that he would not use military force to annex the country, despite what he had threatened before.

A new poll released by AP-NORC shows that more than 50% of American adults think Trump has gone ‘too far’ with his use of the U.S. military for foreign interference. It appears as though filming and bragging about the deaths of people, even if they aren’t Americans, is enough to turn away the majority of the population. AP-NORC, a centre run by the Associated Press, conducted the poll from January 8-11, shortly after the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The poll found that 56% of American adults disapproved of Trump’s actions in Venezuela and thought he had overstepped on military interventions abroad, as well as how the Republican Party has handled foreign policy as a whole.

Donald Trump has triggered a fresh backlash across NATO with remarks questioning the alliance’s role in Afghanistan and its broader purpose. In a Fox News interview, he claimed the United States «did not need NATO», arguing allied troops stayed off «the front lines», comments widely condemned as dismissive of sacrifices made by partner nations. NATO members pointed to heavy losses suffered alongside US forces after Article 5 was invoked for the first time. Days later, Trump escalated tensions on Truth Social, suggesting NATO be put «to the test» by invoking Article 5 to counter «Invasions of Illegal Immigrants» at the US southern border, drawing sharp criticism from diplomats and security experts.
Donald Trump has withdrawn Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s invitation to his proposed «Board of Peace», a loosely defined initiative presented as focused on peace efforts and the reconstruction of Gaza. The move came days after both leaders attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Carney delivered a widely acclaimed speech defending multilateral cooperation and a rules-based global order. Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, promoting the board as an elite forum with a permanent seat priced at one billion dollars. The episode highlighted a deepening divide between Trump’s transactional, nationalist approach and Carney’s call for collective action amid growing geopolitical instability.
Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran by announcing the deployment of a US naval «armada» toward the Middle East, describing the move as precautionary amid unrest in the country. Speaking aboard Air Force One, he said «We have a lot of ships going that direction» but stressed «I’d rather not see anything happen». The announcement came as Iran faces sustained protests and a deadly crackdown. Trump has voiced support for protesters while warning Tehran, yet stopped short of military action, having pulled back from strikes two weeks ago. Iran has since rejected as «completely false» Trump’s claim that his threats halted planned executions.

Canada's Ryan Wedding (Photo by Tony Marshall/EMPICS via Getty Images)
From competing for Team Canada in the 2002 Olympics to gracing the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list, Ryan Wedding has finally been arrested and charged for a litany of crimes, making him one of the most famous athletes turned crime bosses of all time. After years of investigation, Ryan Wedding was arrested on January 22 in Mexico for drug trafficking and murder charges. According to prosecutors and FBI Director Kash Patel, Wedding is a modern-day Escobar and is reportedly the primary cocaine distributor in Canada. Wedding has been in the drug trafficking business since at least 2006, and he made the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list in 2025.
The Ryan Wedding story
Born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Ryan Wedding started snowboarding seriously at the age of 12 after moving to Coquitlam, British Columbia. The grandson of the owner of a ski resort, Ryan had plenty of opportunity to hit the slopes, and Wedding was an obsessed child, spending hours mastering his craft at a young age. After winning bronze and silver medals at the 1999 and 2001 Junior World Championships, Wedding would join Team Canada for the 2002 Olympics. Wedding competed in snowboarding men’s parallel giant slalom, where he finished 24th. Wedding would give up his career in snowboarding after the disappointing result.
Starting ‘naturally‘
After his career in snowboarding came to an end after the 2002 Olympics, Wedding became an avid weightlifter and attended Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. After two years of university, he dropped out. Wedding ended up involved with a marijuana grow operation being run out of Eighteen Carrot Farms. In 2006, the RCMP raided the property, seizing a reported $10 million worth of cannabis. Wedding was not in the country at the time of the raid, and avoided police questioning entirely. Two years later, in 2008, Wedding was arrested in an FBI sting operation after attempting to buy 24 kilograms of cocaine from an undercover informant. Wedding was reportedly planning to smuggle the cocaine into Canada for sale.
Wedding was convicted and spent 24 months in jail for the crime, just half of the 48 months he was sentenced. Wedding moved back to Canada after his release from U.S. prison in 2011. While living in Montreal in 2015, Wedding was targeted in another sting operation, this time in regards to ties with Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel – one of the most infamous cartels in the world. Police seized more than 200 kilograms of cocaine, and Wedding had reportedly imported $750 million in drugs from the Sinaloa cartel. Unfortunately for prosecutors, when the RCMP executed its operation, Wedding was gone, disappearing before police could arrest him.
Ten years on the run
Ryan Wedding spent the next decade on the run from both Canadian and American operatives. According to court documents released, the ‘Wedding Criminal Enterprise’ as they called it spent the next decade trafficking cocaine from Mexico into Canada and the United States via the Sinaloa cartel. The cartel reportedly smuggled $1 billion USD in cocaine every year, and procured these profits through the use of violence. Weddings criminal enterprise was willing to kill anybody who was perceived to be a threat to the enterprise. Wedding reportedly arranged the killing of multiple members of an Ontario family in 2023, alongside another in 2024. The 2023 killings ended up being a ‘mistake’ according to court documents, with Wedding believing the victims were involved in the robbery of a drug shipment.
Police close in
In 2024, U.S. police were making headway on the ‘Wedding Criminal Enterprise’ case, injecting undercover operatives into the enterprise, and making consistent arrests and seizures in the U.S. and Canada. In June 2024, U.S. prosecutors had a strong enough case to announce charges against Wedding. Wedding was charged with running a continuing criminal enterprise; committing murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and assorted drug crimes; and conspiring to possess, distribute, and export cocaine. Months later, the FBI released a list including 16 members of Wedding’s enterprise and announced that 13 of the members were already in custody.
According to court documents, one of Wedding’s former associates, Jonathan Acebedo-Garcia, put the arrests in motion, becoming an undercover government informant. Wedding reportedly found out about Acebedo-Garcia’s cooperation with the police, and subsequently had Acebedo-Garcia killed in Colombia in January of 2025. After Acebedo-Garcia was slain, the FBI placed Ryan Wedding on its top ten most-wanted fugitives list. The FBI raised the reward for Wedding’s capture from $50,000 USD to $10 million, and then to $15 million in November, after another series of arrests were made, but Wedding escaped capture.

On January 22, 2026, FBI director Kash Patel announced that Ryan Wedding had been arrested in Mexico, where he had been hiding for the last decade. According to Patel, Wedding had been living under the protection of the Sinaloa cartel and had been routinely shipping hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California to the United States and Canada. From an Olympic snowboarder to a drug kingpin known as ‘El-Jefe’ and ‘Giant’, Wedding now faces life in prison for his crimes. Wedding is also facing charges in Canada, meaning it will have to work alongside U.S. prosecutors to bring Wedding to justice.
