London's lefty mayor touts record numbers of Americans applying for British citizenship
They're trading their sneakers for trainers and elevators for lifts. A record number of Americans have applied to become British citizens, London's lefty mayor touted at an event in the UK Monday. 'I've got to say we're delighted that record numbers of Americans are applying for British citizenship or to live and work here, and that many are choosing to settle in London,' Sadiq Khan told the crowd at the Concordia Europe Summit, as he heralded the capital as a 'beacon of hope, progress and possibility.' Some 1,931 Americans applied for UK citizenship in the first three months of 2025, according to figures from the UK Home Office — marking the highest number since recordkeeping began in 2004. Advertisement REUTERS Meanwhile, the number of US citizens applying to settle in the UK as their permanent home — rather than just move there for an undefined period — also hit a record last year, with more than 5,500 Americans granted settled status, a 20% increase from 2023. 'Our city will always offer newcomers a warm welcome,' Khan added. Advertisement AP However, at the same time, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the government was planning to impose more stringent requirements on legal migrants, while also extending the time newcomers would have to wait to claim citizenship. In a news conference earlier this month, Starmer declared an end to a 'squalid chapter' that has seen migration to the UK more than triple over the last 10 years, which he called 'a failed experiment in open borders.' In a policy paper last month, Starmer — who previously championed the significant increase of migrants to the city — called the damage caused by immigration to the country 'incalculable.' Advertisement Around 5,800 Americans gave up their US citizenship during the first six months of 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and at a time of widespread social and political upheaval in the country. However, taxes were also cited as another reason some made the decision, Alistair Bambridge, a partner at Bambridge Accountants, told CNN at the time. 'These are mainly people who already left the US and just decided they've had enough of everything,' he said. The surge in would-be expatriates in the first quarter of 2025 is a 12% increase from the previous quarter, continuing a sharp uptick in the trend which started in the middle of 2024.

Canada plans to hit NATO spending target early and reduce US defense reliance, Carney says
TORONTO (AP) — Canada will meet NATO's military spending guideline by early next year and diversify defense spending away from the United States, which he says no longer plays a predominant role on the world stage, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday. Carney said Canada will achieve NATO's spending target of 2% of gross domestic product five years earlier than it had previously planned. 'Our military infrastructure and equipment have aged, hindering our military preparedness," Carney said. 'Only one of our four submarines is seaworthy. Less than half of our maritime fleet and land vehicles are operational. More broadly we are too reliant on the United States.' According to NATO figures, Canada was estimated to be spending 1.33% of GDP on its military budget in 2023, below the 2% target that NATO countries have set for themselves. Canada previously said it was on track to meet NATO's spending target by the end of the decade. 'Our goal is to protect Canadians, not to satisfy NATO accountants,' Carney said. The announcement of increased spending came as Canada is about to host U.S. President Donald Trump and other leaders at a summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations in Alberta on June 15-17, and before the NATO summit in Europe. It also comes as NATO allies are poised to increase the commitment well beyond the 2% target. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said last week that most U.S. allies at NATO endorse Trump's demand that they invest 5% of gross domestic product on their defense needs and are ready to ramp up security spending even more. Carney has said that he intends to diversify Canada's procurement and enhance the country's relationship with the EU. 'We should no longer send three quarters of our defense capital spending to America,' Carney said in a speech at the University of Toronto. 'We will invest in new submarines, aircraft, ships, armed vehicles and artillery, as well as new radar, drones and sensors to monitor the seafloor and the Arctic.' Canada has been in discussions with the European Union to join an EU drive to break its security dependency on the United States, with a focus on buying more defense equipment, including fighter jets, in Europe. Carney's government is reviewing the purchase of U.S. F-35 fighter jets to see if there are other options. 'We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans throughout the Cold War and in the decades that followed, as the United States played a predominant role on the world stage. Today, that predominance is a thing of the past,' Carney said in French. He added that with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the United States became the global hegemon, noting its gravitational pull, always strong, became virtually irresistible and made the U.S. 'our closest ally and dominant trading partner.' 'Now the United States is beginning to monetize its hegemony: charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to our collective security,' Carney said. The prime minister said that "a new imperialism threatens.' 'Middle powers compete for interests and attention, knowing that if they are not at the table, they will be on the menu," Carney said. Trump's calls to make Canada the 51st U.S. state have infuriated Canadians, and Carney won the job of prime minister after promising to confront the increased aggression shown by Trump. Carney said that the long-held view that Canada's geographic location will protect Canadians is becoming increasingly archaic. European allies and Canada have already been investing heavily in their armed forces, as well as on weapons and ammunition, since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

Trump-Musk Feud Fuels Record Truth Social Traffic, X User Spike
Nothing grabs people's attention like a fight. That much is clear, after the digital and verbal battle between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk led to record traffic for Truth Social and a big traffic surge for X. Both of their platforms enjoyed a spike late last week as the powerful ex-friends traded barbs, according to data shared by Similarweb, a digital market intelligence company, on Monday. Here are the key takeaways: Truth Social's traffic in the U.S. hit 1.8 million daily visits on June 5, which was a record for the platform X's U.S. traffic jumped to 35.3 million visits on that same day, marking the platform's second-best day since the president's inauguration on Jan. 20 X's June 5 U.S. traffic was up 17% compared to its average daily traffic in May Truth Social's 1.8 million hits on June 5 was more than triple its daily average traffic in May, up 256% in comparison Truth Social had 2.8 million hits globally on June 5, which set a new high-point for the company in 2025; Truth has had bigger traffic days around the 2024 election and the assassination attempt against Trump last summer X's global traffic hit 146.3 million on June 5, up about 3.5% from its average daily traffic in May Unsurprisingly, the traffic boost led to a spike in mobile app usage for both platforms, according to data shared with TheWrap from Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm. The number of Americans using X on June 5 between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET increased 54% compared to the prior seven-day period, while the number of users on Truth Social surged more than 400%. Both platforms enjoyed a 90-day high in terms of active American users during that four-hour stretch, per Sensor Tower. Those spikes came as Musk ripped President Trump on X last Thursday, accusing him of being named in the Epstein files and saying he was in favor of impeaching the president. Trump, on his end, said he was 'very disappointed' in Musk and questioned whether the U.S. government should end its contracts with SpaceX, the rocket company Musk runs. The war of words had started a few days earlier when Musk called Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' a 'disgusting abomination.' Their fallout set social media ablaze, considering it came less than a week after the president gave Musk a warm send-off from the Oval Office — complete with a gold key to the White House — and called him an 'incredible patriot' for his work leading the Department of Government Efficiency. A majority of Americans, according to a YouGov poll last Friday, said they sided with neither the president nor Musk in their spat. Musk has since deleted his post saying the president was in the Epstein files, but the president does not look like he wants to be buds with the Tesla boss again just yet. When asked if their friendship had ended over the weekend, Trump said 'I would assume so, yeah.' The post Trump-Musk Feud Fuels Record Truth Social Traffic, X User Spike appeared first on TheWrap.
