What trade issues are currently impacting U.S.-Canada relations?
President Trump says he is cutting off trade talks between the U.S. and Canada. The president is blaming an anti-tariff commercial issued by the Canadian Provincial Government of Ontario. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation says the ad misrepresents a radio address on tariffs given by the late former president. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canadian negotiators have been working toward trade solutions on thorny issues.
We stand ready to pick up on that progress and build on that progress when the Americans are ready to have those discussions because it will be for the benefit of workers in the United States, workers in Canada, and families in both of our countries.
He also says Canada cannot control the trade policy of the United States.
What recent developments are there in U.S.-China trade negotiations?
President Trump leaves tonight for his trip to Asia. South Korea says it will host the leaders of the U.S. and China for state visits next week. NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports from Seoul the visits will happen on the sidelines of a summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC.
South Korea's National Security Advisor Wee Sung-lak told reporters that President Lee Jae-myung will meet with President Trump on October 29th and Chinese leader Xi Jinping on November 1st.

This is day 24 of the federal government shutdown. Republican and Democratic lawmakers still cannot agree on a spending bill that would bring the shutdown to an end. The Trump administration says it is moving ahead with three projects on federal lands in Alaska. These involve energy and roads. Alaska Public Media's Liz Ruskin reports the Biden administration had blocked all three projects.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is opening the entire coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas leasing. But oil companies might not bid. Prior lease sales brought no development. Burgum also took steps to advance two roads in roadless areas. The Ambler Road is intended to spur mining in northwest Alaska. Tribal members fear it will end their ability to live off the land. The other road would link the isolated community of King Cove to an all-weather airport, but it would cross a refuge important to bird migrations. Environmental groups say the fight isn't over.

What Halloween candy trends are emerging this year?
It's that time of year again, and Pierre's Amy held reports on Halloween candy trends as Americans stock up for next week's trick-or-treaters.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups topped the Halloween hit list, followed by M&M's. That's according to DoorDash and Instacart, which also found candy corn comprising 2% or so of all candy orders, but it's a divisive pick.
