Trump Endorses, Bitcoin Dips, Pakistan Mourns

More than 30 people were killed and 169 injured in an explosion at a mosque in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, according to a city official, while the price of Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since September 2024, despite former US President Donald Trump's support for the cryptocurrency. Additionally, Canada is set to open its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland, and Trump endorsed Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi ahead of a snap election. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's team is disputing the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) assertions about the immigration status of a truck driver involved in a deadly crash in Indiana.

The explosion in Pakistan occurred during Friday prayers in the Tarlai area of Islamabad. Police officials said a suicide bomber detonated a device after approaching the gates of the Shia mosque, while eyewitnesses reported gunfire preceding the blast, according to BBC World. Emergency services were overwhelmed, and hospitals issued appeals for blood donations. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attack.

Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin dipped to $60,000 (44,000), its lowest point in 16 months, before slightly recovering, as reported by BBC Technology. This occurred despite Trump's public and personal support for cryptocurrency. "Those who bet too big, borrowed too much or assumed prices only go up are now finding out the hard way what real market volatility and risk management look like," Joshua Chu, co-chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, told Reuters.

In Greenland, Canada is opening its first diplomatic outpost in a show of solidarity following Trump's threats to take control of the territory, according to BBC World. A delegation of senior Canadian officials, including Governor General Mary Simon, is traveling to Nuuk to formally open the consulate. Simon stated that Canada "stands firmly in support of the people of Greenland."

Trump also endorsed Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi ahead of a snap election on Sunday, as reported by BBC World. Trump wrote on Truth Social that Takaichi has "already proven to be a strong, powerful, and wise leader... one that truly loves her country."

In other news, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's team is disputing the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) assertions about the immigration status of a semitruck driver involved in a crash that left four dead in Indiana, according to Fox News. The driver, Bekzhan Beishekeev, a 30-year-old national of Kyrgyzstan, was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after a detainer was placed on him. DHS said the driver came into the U.S. "illegally."
