Editorial cartoon: in a windswept prairie cemetery, Trump and a hard-hatted TC Energy man haul on straps to winch a huge rust-caked oil pipe out of an open grave beneath a headstone reading KEYSTONE XL 2008 - 2021, while Mark Carney stands graveside holding a crate of wine bottles and a bundle of hockey sticks.

Trump paused a threatened 50% tariff on Canada for three days, hours before it would have hit about $20bn of goods including wine and hockey sticks.

The 1,200-mile project was abandoned by TC Energy in 2021 after Biden revoked its permit; Canada says under 1% of fentanyl seizures and illegal crossings originate on its border.
