This North America page collects The Boston Report World News desk stories that are about Canada, Mexico or U.S. foreign policy — trade, diplomacy, migration and the way Washington shows up in international disputes. It is not a second homepage for U.S. domestic news. City Hall, Massachusetts elections and most national political trackers stay on their own desks so readers are not sent through a duplicate doorway.
A story can appear here and in another region at the same time. A report on U.S. sanctions that names Iran will also surface under Middle East and Iran; a USMCA or tariff story may also appear under International Trade. Classification uses headlines, slugs and excerpts, plus editor-assigned World News categories. We do not invent trade volumes, poll numbers or troop counts on this page.
For tariffs, export controls and sanctions data, use the economic warfare dashboard, which this portal treats as the Global Trade Tracker. For military movements, see the North America deployments desk, a separate warfare archive that should not be confused with this news page.

Countries and related desks
Dedicated country archives are added when the World News desk has a sustained run of reports centered on that country. Recent headlines have more often named Canada, Mexico or U.S. policy inside stories about other regions, so this page is the landing archive rather than a set of thin country stubs. U.S. domestic politics, Congress and Massachusetts coverage live on Politics and Government, the Trump presidency tracker and Boston news.
Stories listed here come from The Boston Report World News desk. A report can appear in more than one section when it involves more than one country, subject or organization. Matching uses headlines, slugs and excerpts, and editor-assigned categories such as Iran, Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia. We do not have reporters on the ground. See our editorial policy and corrections policy.
