Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

I am from Poland, so I will present my version of events.
Morawiecki's statement unfortunately appeared at that moment and I am almost certain that it had no connection with the grain problem. Listening to the entire statement, I can say that Poland is not handing over weapons to Ukraine now, because everything it could have given has already been given and now it must fill these gaps with new equipment. On the same day, the head of the ruling party said that Poland intended to continue supporting Ukraine militarily.

Interesting that you choose to not mention that Russia didn't withdraw from the Grain Deal, it simply refused to renew it until Europe and the West fulfilled their end of the deal like giving one Ryssian bank access to SWIFT.
Omissions like this seriously degrade the quality of your reporting and your credibility as a "News Channel".

Let us not forget about the big fiasco about few months ago, when it tuned out a lot of Ukrainian grain was of lower quality than what should be allowed (in Poland it's called "technical" grain and is used for feeding livestock) and that grain was put in regular bread for reagular people. Now the Polish governemnt is trying to protect both the Polish farmers and consumers. This video could've been better researched and less biased to be honest.
