Trump places high-risk, high-reward bet on tariffs to stem fentanyl
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's vow to impose tariffs on China and Mexico unless they stem the flow of fentanyl and migrants across the U.S. border could impel deeper cooperation from those governments on drug policing, experts said. But the threat also carries risk, particularly concerning U.S.-Chinese collaboration on fighting fentanyl, which has improved this year after bilateral negotiations between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping. In social media posts on Monday, Trump promised to impose additional 10% tariffs on Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods - the United States' three largest trading partners - and asserted that not enough was being done to stop drugs and migrants from entering the country.

White House pressing Ukraine to draft 18-year-old men to help fill manpower needs to battle Russia
President Joe Biden's administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of troops as young as 18. A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to help expand the pool of fighting age men available to help a badly outmanned Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia. The White House has pushed more than $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia's February 2022 invasion and expects to send billions more to Kyiv before Biden leaves office in less than months.
