After more than two years of negotiations, the Canadian Union Postal worker says it has reached an agreement in principle with Canada Post, meaning both sides have agreed to the main points of a deal, but still need to work out exact language before it can be put to membership for a vote. The union says it's stopping rotating strikes that have been going on for more than a month. Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to end the U.S. trade war,

Defense Minister David McGinty says Canada still hasn't decided whether to proceed with buying all 88 F-35 jets from the American company Lockheed Martin in a deal signed two years ago. The review was announced in March on the heels of the 51st state rhetoric from U.S. President Donald Trump.

We're actually waiting to see exactly where the Canadian government is going to come out on. on the F-35. Hoekstra added, Canada has benefited from making parts for previous versions of the F-35.

The leaked 28-point proposal includes concessions

backed by the U.S. and favoring the Kremlin. Among them, Ukraine ceding large areas of its eastern region to Russia and downsizing its military. Zolensky says his country's dignity is on the line. Russian President Vladimir Putin put out his own statement, saying the U.S. proposal could be the basis for what he called a peaceful solution to the war. I want to congratulate. I think you're going to have hopefully a really great mayor. U.S. President Donald Trump says he feels confident in New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mamdan. The two concluded their first official meeting this afternoon and say it was productive. Trump has previously called Momdani a communist.

He now says the two of them have much in common, and he adds some conservatives may be surprised by the new mayor. After her recent public fallout with U.S. President Donald Trump, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green says she is resigning. Green was a standard bearer for MAGA, but she split with Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files and accused the president of spending too much time on foreign matters like Gaza in Ukraine instead of putting America first. Her last day will be January 5th. And that is the world this hour.
