Thousands missing in Venezuela after earthquakes
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: Rescue teams have been racing against the clock to pull survivors from the rubble in northern Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes hit last Wednesday. The government reported that 1,450 people are dead, while tens of thousands are unaccounted for.
|
|
|
|
|
In context: The disaster poses a huge challenge for President Delcy Rodríguez, who took office in January after the U.S. captured former leader Nicolás Maduro in a raid. Her government is facing growing criticism that its response to the earthquakes was inadequate and overshadowed by civilian efforts.
|
|
|
|
|
The response: Search teams and foreign aid have been arriving from Mexico, the U.S., Brazil, El Salvador, France and elsewhere, with the UN reporting that more than 2,000 rescue workers had arrived by Saturday. They worked alongside Venezuelan teams to free survivors, offering anguished families reason to keep hopes alive.

Summer vacations closer to home
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: Given the high cost of fuel, boycotts of U.S. travel and instability across the world, many people plan to vacation here in Canada this summer. We asked readers for their favourite places to relax and soak up the sun.
|
|
|
|
|
What’s next: Growing numbers of Canadians are also taking up wildlife viewing and birdwatching – with those activities outpacing even camping, spectator sports, paddling and golfing. The Globe talked with five young birders across Canada about their favourite spots.

Fate of closed auto plants could lie in USMCA renewal
|
|
|
|
|
The latest: The future of two idled Ontario car factories – a General Motors plant in Ingersoll and a Stellantis plant in Brampton – depends on trade talks with the U.S., experts and labour officials say. Tariffs have forced carmakers to halt investments and rethink supply chains as they pay billions in U.S. duties.
|
|
|
|
|
What’s next: July 1 is the date by which the U.S., Canada and Mexico must declare if they want the USMCA free-trade pact to continue, expire or be reviewed annually. Canada and Mexico want an extension, while U.S. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. could walk away.
