U.S. President Donald Trump says that if Canada joining the European Union as a proposed associate member is intended as a “hostile act” against the United States, he may impose tariffs on the EU.

“I think it’s laughable,” Trump said, while calling Canada a “terrible trade partner.” He added that if the intention behind the initiative is a “hostile act,” he would impose consequences.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a measure put forward by Republicans that would provide a federal blueprint to ensure data centers pay for their use of local energy grids. It was adopted in a 417–3 vote.

AI and other data centers draw huge amounts of electricity from local power grids, straining supplies and leading to utility bill shocks for households across the nation.
