What did President Trump announce about ending U.S. tariff talks with Canada?
Live from NPR News in Washington DC, I'm Dale Wilman. President Trump says the US is cutting off tariff talks with Canada. His comments came as Canada proceeds with a digital services tax that will t affect tech giants headquartered in the US. MPR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports on the latest trade news from the presidents.
Trump wrote on social media this afternoon that the US is quote hereby terminating all discussions on trade with Canada effective immediately over Canada's digital services tax that takes effect on june thirtieth. That tax will be on revenues the companies generate from Canadian users. Trump added that the US will inform Canada of the new tariff rate Americans will pay for Canadian goods within the next week. Trump also said today that he might move a july ninth deadline when tariffs on many countries are set to increase sharply.
Why is the U.S. Navy renaming the USNS Harvey Milk to the USNS Oscar V?
He had said he would negotiate tariff deals with other countries by then. Only one such deal has been struck with the UK. Danielle Kurtzlavin, NPR News, the White House.
In a controversial move, Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth announced that the ship, the USNS Harvey Milk, will be renamed the USNS Oscar V. Peterson. Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. Milk was assassinated in 1978.
We're not renaming the ship to anything political. This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration. Instead, we're renaming the ship after a United States Navy Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, as it should be.
Who were the victims honored at the Minnesota State Capitol and what were the circumstances of the shooting?
People want to be proud of the ship they're sailing in. And so we're renaming it after a
chief, a Navy chief. The Defense Department is also changing names of some military bases to names more acceptable to conservatives. Hundreds of people lined up outside the Minnesota State Capitol on Friday to pay their respects to a top Democratic leader who was shot two weeks ago in what officials are calling a politically motivated assassination. From Minnesota Public Radio, Katherine Richard has more.
Former Minnesota Health Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their golden retriever Gilbert were all placed in the Capitol Rotunda. Among the hundreds who came to honor the former democratic leader was Brianna Halanen and her three kids. They drove from a town more than an hour north of the Twin Cities.

What are President Trump's expectations for a cease‑fire in the Gaza conflict?
President Trump said Friday that he thinks it's possible that a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict between Israel and Iran backed Hamas militants will be reached within a week. Neither group has confirmed that a deal is possible. Hamas says it's willing to free the remaining hostages in Gaza in return for a deal to end the war, while Israel says that will only happen if Hamas is disarmed and dismantled. California legislators have approved increased incentives for film and TV productions in the state. As MPR's Mandalete Del Barco reports, the bill is part of the budget deal Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to sign next week.
The tax credit program more than doubles California's previous film and TV incentives, offering production $750 million a year. Hollywood studios, producers, and workers lobbied for the updated tax credits to try to prevent movies and TV shows from leaving for states like Georgia and New York and countries such as Canada and the UK, which offer generous credits, rebates, and grants.
