"Trump campaigned on shrinking America’s role abroad. But since taking office, he has articulated a worldview that is at times closer to expansionism than isolationism."

Hiya, a little introduction post!
- Little Bear Crochets consists of two people, J & A, but this profile will mostly just be me, A, the designer of the team.
- I design & publish digital crochet amigurumi patterns.
- I love fiber arts of all kinds and would love to have a small space here to chat about all kinds of crafts & to connect with other craft enthusiasts.
- I have to keep my HSD (hypermobility spectrum disorder) in mind when crocheting and working, which is why I might be absent for periods of time. It's a slow journey of learning and adapting my workspace and habits.
I have a Masto account over at mastodon.art, but would like to try out Pixelfed for now since I think it suits me better. 👋

Justin Trudeau wants to revive UK-Canada trade talks in shadow of Trump
Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing to restart stalled trade talks with the U.K. as Canada seeks to reduce reliance on the U.S. amid Trump's trade war.
While Trudeau secured a temporary delay on U.S. tariffs by agreeing to border security measures, uncertainty remains.
Talks with the U.K. broke down last year over agricultural disputes, but Canada sees renewed negotiations as beneficial for trade diversification.

#OTD in 1913.
Claudio Monteverdi's last opera L'incoronazione di Poppea was performed theatrically for the first time in more than 250 years.
Two versions of the musical score of L'incoronazione exist, both from the 1650s. The first was rediscovered in Venice in 1888, the second in Naples in 1930. The Naples score is linked to the revival of the opera in that city in 1651.

Trump says the U.S. will 'take over' Gaza and relocate its people. What does it mean?
It wasn't immediately clear what legal authority Trump would have to execute his plans, and they would likely be met by fierce resistance from Palestinians and from regional Arab countries.
