Zac reports on global affairs, covering everything from battles between judicial branches and political leaders, to conflicts in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. With the Trump administration keen to alter the world order, though, there’s a heavy emphasis right now on US politics – an area with which he is intimately familiar. Prior to joining GZERO, Zac was a senior national politics correspondent at National Journal, where he covered the 2024 presidential election from its inception to the dramatic finish, as well as major congressional actions during the Biden administration. Prior to journalism, Zac worked as an economic analyst for Oxford Economics, calculating the impact of various tax policies, and of Britain’s exit from the European Union. Born in London, he currently resides in New York City, where you can find him playing football (the original version) or watching it on television while attempting to cook up a storm.

Trump calls off trade talks with Canada

Just as the Toronto Blue Jays face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series tonight, US President Donald Trump abruptly canceled trade talks with Canada on Thursday after an ad quoting Ronald Reagan’s warning that tariffs “hurt every American” was aired in Ontario. The move derails a brief thaw between the neighbors and major trading partners. Prime Minister Mark Carney has talked tough on US protectionism, but Canada’s reliance on its southern neighbor leaves him little room to maneuver — the last time Trump suspended talks, Ottawa quickly backed off a proposed digital tax. We’ll be watching to see how Carney tries to get Trump back to the negotiating table.

Court throws out case to oust Turkish opposition leader

A Turkish court has thrown out the case calling for the main opposition leader, Republican People’s Party chair Ozgur Ozel, to be ousted from power and for his party’s congress to be annulled. The court case involved supposed irregularities during the party’s internal elections in 2023, during which Ozel was elected and would later go on to energize the opposition and defeat President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s party in municipal elections. The decision is a boost for democracy in a country that is fighting against authoritarian pressures.

Cameroon on edge as election results set to finally arrive

It’s been nearly two weeks since Cameroon held its presidential election, yet the results are only set to arrive on Monday. The waiting has put some of the 30 million Cameroonians on edge, with protests sprouting across the West African country this week. Uprisings in the northern city of Garoua turned deadly as the authorities clamp down on dissent. The 92-year-old President Paul Biya is attempting to win an eighth term in office, but opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary has already declared himself the winner and said he won’t accept a stolen vote. Meanwhile, judges rejected several petitions to cancel the vote.
