  "summary": "The United States has a strategy to pressure the Castro regime in Cuba, according to El Pais English. This approach follows the US government's actions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who took over after Hugo Chávez governed Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013.\n\nThere is no further information on the US strategy towards Cuba.\n\nA separate trade dispute is ongoing between the US and Canada. Global News reports that Canada's premiers are supporting Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to walk away from trade talks with the US after 50 per cent tariffs were imposed on Canadian goods. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew expressed their opposition to a potential deal with the US, with Ford stating that it would be bad for Ontario's auto, steel, and manufacturing sectors.",
