Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed a rally of 350,000 in Mexico City, expressing optimism about avoiding US tariffs on Mexican imports for the time being. Last week, US President Donald Trump agreed to extend a temporary reprieve on his threatened 25 percent tariffs, which would significantly impact Mexico's economy, as 80 percent of its exports go to the US. Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of Mexico's sovereignty while highlighting the need for respectful dialogue between the two nations. She noted a significant reduction in fentanyl trafficking from Mexico to the US, a key concern for Washington. While Trump has cited unfair competition and immigration issues as reasons for potential tariffs, experts warn that their implementation could push Mexico into recession. Sheinbaum remains hopeful that the upcoming tariffs will not affect Mexico, given the protections offered by the USMCA trade agreement. 
Published: Mar 10 2025, 10 ameznews.inFederal immigration authorities arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student and prominent figure in last year's pro-Palestinian protests, citing a State Department order to revoke his green card. Khalil, a Palestinian refugee raised in Syria, was taken from his university apartment in New York, with his attorney, Amy Greer, stating that his pregnant wife was not informed of the reasons behind his detention. Khalil had been involved in significant protests against Israel's actions in Gaza and was under investigation by Columbia's Office of Institutional Equity for his activism. Greer emphasized that the administration's actions represent a troubling escalation against student dissent, noting that only an immigration court can revoke a green card. The arrest aligns with the Trump administration's broader crackdown on student activists and comes amid federal scrutiny of Columbia University, which recently faced a $400 million funding cut for failing to address campus antisemitism.
Published: Mar 10 2025, 1 pmeznews.inNorth Korea launched multiple unidentified ballistic missiles on Monday, coinciding with the start of the annual joint military exercise "Freedom Shield" conducted by South Korea and the United States. The South Korean military reported that the missiles were fired from Hwanghae province into the West Sea around 13:50 (0450 GMT). In response, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff emphasized their commitment to enhanced surveillance and readiness in cooperation with the US. North Korea condemned the drills as a "provocative act," warning that they could lead to accidental conflict, and labeled them an "aggressive and confrontational war rehearsal." The Freedom Shield exercises, which will last until March 20, involve live and virtual training and follow a recent incident where South Korean jets accidentally dropped bombs on a civilian area, injuring 31 people. Tensions remain high on the Korean Peninsula, with both Koreas technically still at war since the 1953 armistice.
Published: Mar 10 2025, 2 pmeznews.inThomas Markle has criticized his daughter, Meghan Markle, branding her "unauthentic" and accusing her of "faking" her emotions in her new Netflix series, _With Love, Meghan_. Released earlier this month, the show features the Duchess of Sussex cooking and entertaining celebrity friends across eight episodes. Mr. Markle expressed amusement at what he perceives as Meghan's "pre-planned" expressions, stating, "Everything she says is pre-planned and rehearsed." He described cooking shows as "horrendously boring" unless the host displays genuine passion, noting that Meghan's desire for perfection detracts from her authenticity. Additionally, he remarked that her cooking style is impractical for average viewers, criticizing her disconnect from everyday life. He also expressed disappointment over Meghan's apparent rejection of the Markle name, reflecting on his late mother’s pride in the family name. Despite mixed reviews, the series has been renewed for a second season.

Published: Mar 10 2025, 2 pmeznews.inMark Carney, newly elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and poised to become Prime Minister, aims to mend the frayed relations with India that deteriorated under his predecessor, Justin Trudeau. Carney secured 85.9% of votes in the leadership race and has expressed a desire to diversify Canada’s trade ties with New Delhi, particularly in light of US tariffs impacting both nations. In a recent media interaction, he emphasized the need for a shared values framework in commercial relationships, indicating a proactive approach to rebuilding ties with India. Carney's extensive background as a former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, coupled with his experience in investment sectors related to India, positions him well to foster these connections. The diplomatic rift, exacerbated by allegations surrounding the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, has led to mutual expulsion of diplomats and a pause on trade agreements.

Published: Mar 10 2025, 12 pmeznews.inA waiter at Cazuelas Mexican Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, has garnered significant community support following a xenophobic incident involving a customer. The woman, identified as Stephanie Lovins, left a receipt with a note reading, "I hope Trump deports you!!!" alongside a zero tip after receiving service from Ricardo Nonato, a US citizen. In response, a GoFundMe campaign titled "Tip Ricardo: Because Hate Has No Place Here" was launched by a loyal customer, Anna Overman, aiming to raise funds for Nonato, which surpassed its $10,000 goal, reaching over $39,210. Overman emphasized that Nonato was simply doing his job and that the incident highlighted the customer's true character. Lovins, a realtor, was subsequently fired from her position after the incident gained attention, with her employer, Century 21, stating that "hate has no place" in their brand.

Published: Mar 10 2025, 12 pmeznews.inA study led by Raaj Mehta from Harvard Medical School has found that eating an orange daily may reduce the risk of depression by 20%. Published in *Biomedcentral*, the research highlights how oranges stimulate the growth of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a gut bacterium that plays a crucial role in producing serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters linked to mood regulation. Mr. Mehta noted that the positive effects appear to be specific to citrus fruits, as no similar benefits were observed with other fruits or vegetables. With over 280 million people affected by depression globally, and many unresponsive to traditional treatments, the study underscores the importance of diet in mental health. While the findings are promising, the researchers acknowledged limitations, including a predominantly white, middle-aged female sample, and emphasized the need for further exploration into the diet-mental health connection. Eating an orange daily is a simple, low-risk strategy that could complement existing treatments.
Published: Mar 10 2025, 12 pmeznews.inGene Hackman spent his final days in isolation following the death of his wife, Betsy Arakawa, just a week before his own passing at their Santa Fe County home, as reported by The Guardian. Arakawa, who was Hackman's primary caregiver, succumbed to Hantavirus, a rare viral infection linked to rodents. Hackman, suffering from advanced Alzheimer's, was likely unaware of her death and was too weak and confused to seek medical help, ultimately dying from heart illness after nearly a week without care. The couple was discovered on February 26 after a maintenance worker alerted authorities to their open front door. Investigators found their bodies in separate areas of the home, with Arakawa's body located in the bathroom alongside their dog, Zinna. The couple's three dogs were left in a shelter, while Zinna reportedly died from dehydration and starvation. Hackman had three children from a previous marriage.
