RFK Jr. has said previous dietary guidelines were untrustworthy because advisers had ties to food-industry groups. But so do several advisers on his dietary guidelines — just different parts of the industry, including red meat and dairy.

Proud to contribute to this DevelopmentAid expert view. Bottom line: without gender-responsive policy, digitalization deepens gaps. With it, we unlock skills, markets, and agency for millions of women. Time to act.

It would show Britain backs Canada against Trump’s damaging trade war. Now is the time to stand with the Commonwealth, not stand in Trump’s shadow like Nigel Farage.
