Donald Trump signaled openness to ending a ban on US alcohol imports into Canada during a meeting with Canadian officials.

The cartoon portrays the premiers as a collective force of resistance and shows Trump deferring the decision to his team.

Trump's Wrecking Ball Smashes World Order into a Ballroom
Tom Janssen, The Netherlands
The cartoon depicts a classical building labeled 'World Order' being demolished by a yellow crane's wrecking ball, with debris scattering below and a prominent sign announcing 'Here Comes the Big, Beautiful, Trump Ballroom.' Tags like world order, NATO rift, allies, unreliable, chaos, and tariffs underscore the imagery of disruption. The scene captures a straightforward visual metaphor for upheaval, with broken columns and rubble emphasizing destruction. No characters appear, keeping the focus on structural collapse. Europe and Asia tags suggest broader implications, while the dry humor lies in rebranding ruin as a luxurious ballroom. Oil prices and economy tags tie into the fallout, making it a pointed commentary on global shifts.

The scene uses simple lines and limited colors to show the repeated date.
