Nationalist leaders in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland assert right to self-determination amidst escalating US-Canada trade disputes.

Leaders of the Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru, and Sinn Fein held a rare joint meeting to declare their nations' right to self-determination and potential independence from the United Kingdom. This development coincides with an intensifying trade war between the United States and Canada, where new tariffs and disputes over sovereignty and strategic resources are increasing risks to their long-standing relationship.
