💼 Frankfurt Airport Strike Disrupts Flights and Cargo OperationsFrankfurt Airport, Europe’s top air cargo hub, faces major disruptions on Monday due to a 24-hour strike by Germany’s Verdi union, demanding higher wages. The walkout will halt essential operations and impact cargo and connecting flights. Other major airports, including Cologne and Leipzig, will also be affected. Talks resume March 14-16, but Verdi insists pressure is needed to drive negotiations forward.
🌍Canada and EU Hit Back at U.S. Tariffs as Trade War EscalatesCanada is striking back against U.S. tariffs on aluminum and steel, imposing $29.8 billion in counterlevies while urging Washington to resume negotiations. Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc called the tariffs "unjustified," warning they will harm both economies. The EU is also retaliating, announcing US$28 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods, targeting steel, industrial products, and agriculture. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the move "strong but proportionate." Talks are set for Thursday in Washington, aiming to de-escalate tensions before further tariffs take effect on April 2.
