A shaky ceasefire begins in Lebanon

from Power & Politics

In the first moments of an Israel–Lebanon ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, Power & Politics speaks to former Canadian ambassador to Israel Jon Allen about why uncertainties about the agreement and Hezbollah are still threatening a lasting peace. Plus, Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat who spent over 1,000 days in a Chinese prison, argues that Ottawa's deal to lower tariffs on thousands of Chinese EVs hurts more than the auto industry — it hurts Canada's national security.
