In response to Trump's tariffs, Canada immediately slapped its own surcharges on American imports. And China also moved quickly to retaliate, putting tariffs on American food and agricultural products and blocking a number of American companies from doing business in China. In another major move from the Trump administration, the president temporarily suspended all U.S.

military aid to Ukraine, three days after he berated Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Officials say the suspension will be in place until Trump determines that Ukraine has made a good-faith commitment to peace negotiations with Russia. The order affects more than a billion dollars in arms and ammunition that were on order or even already en route.

Analysts say Ukraine can keep its war effort going for weeks, even a few months, without U.S. support. It did that last year, when Republicans in Congress temporarily blocked assistance. But the cracks did start to show. Without well-stocked air defense systems, more Russian missiles got through, hitting cities and power plants.

And without enough supplies on the front lines, Ukrainian commanders told The Times they had to ration ammunition. Effectively, Trump's new pause is an ultimatum for Zelensky. Either get on board with ceasefire terms that Trump dictates, or prepare to face larger battlefield losses without U.S. support.

In the meantime, analysts say the pause will help Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose troops could make gains against a weakened Ukraine. On the heels of his aid freeze and the new tariffs, President Trump will give his first big address to a joint session of Congress tonight. It's at 9 p.m. Eastern, and it'll be his largest televised event since he returned to office.

Presidents usually use this moment to lay out their plans for their time in the White House. Trump's expected to tick through his work on immigration, spending cuts, and a host of executive orders. Many Democratic lawmakers say they plan to protest Trump's actions so far by inviting fired federal workers as their guests to the speech.

Ashley Southall covers cannabis legalization for The Times. She's been reporting on the rise and fall of an ambitious program in New York state that the governor once said would, quote, write historical wrongs. After recreational cannabis was legalized there in 2021, the state backed a $200 million fund to give people who'd been prosecuted for drug offenses a leg up in the new market.
