French authorities have accused Russia's hacking group, APT28 (Fancy Bear), of orchestrating cyberattacks on President Emmanuel Macron's 2017 election campaign. This is the first time France has publicly accused Moscow of being behind the "Macron leaks," which disclosed thousands of campaign documents. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Russia's intelligence service, the GRU, has been carrying out attacks on French interests for several years. APT28 has been tied to previous hacks, including the German Bundestag and the US Democratic National Committee. France's cybersecurity agency reported that the group has targeted French ministerial agencies and private sector entities since 2021. The accusation comes as Macron has increased rhetoric against Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling for ceasefire talks between the US and Russia.

The Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, has won the Canadian election, securing 168 seats. Carney's experience in high finance and as governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England convinced voters he could defend Canadian interests in negotiations with the US. However, his victory may lead to trade turmoil with the US, as he has imposed counter-tariffs and described the US as "a country we can no longer trust." The Liberals' approach to trade, energy, and defense may harm Canadians and frustrate US attempts to update the relationship. Carney's government is expected to maintain green energy pressures, restrict oil and gas resources, and slow-walk defense spending, which could limit Canada's global influence and complicate US-led efforts to counter China. The election result may lead to continued tensions between the US and Canada, with Carney's stated intentions on trade, energy, and defense potentially harming both countries.
