What recent tariff changes did President Trump announce regarding Canada?
President Trump says he'll place an additional 10% tariff on Canadian products. His announcement follows an anti-tariff ad campaign run by the province of Ontario on major U.S. television networks. Dan Karpenchuk reports.
The anti-tariff ad campaign featured clips of an address by former President Ronald Reagan saying tariffs do not work. An infuriated Trump terminated all trade talks with Canada calling the ads a fraud. The government of Ontario, which paid $75 million Canadian for the ads, planned to pull them on Monday, still leaving them to be seen by millions of Americans watching the World Series. Now Trump says they should have been taken off the air immediately, and he announced a further 10% tariff on Canadian goods as punishment. A Canadian government official says Prime Minister Mark Carney was not given any warning about the added tariff. Carney is in Malaysia for the ASEAN summit and has not spoken to Trump.
For NPR News, I'm Dan Carpinchuck in Toronto.
President Trump is in Malaysia Sunday for the Southeast Asian Nations Summit. While there, he hopes to formalize a trade deal with Malaysia. As Trump arrives, he's facing criticism from some of that group's members. As NPR's Anthony Kuhn tells us, they're concerned about Trump's U.S. focus.
There's some criticism in the region that ASEAN and APEC are multilateral forums. They're promoting regional integration and free trade, while the U.S. seems to be focused on great power competition and trade protectionism. President Trump wants to preside over a Thai-Cambodian ceasefire deal, apparently to burnish his peacemaker image, which has led to some criticism in the region that Trump is more focused on himself than Southeast Asia.
That's NPR's Anthony Kuhn with our report. Hurricane Melissa is moving through the Caribbean Sea at this hour, where it's threatening to bring major flooding and landslides to the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica. Cuba is also being threatened by the same storm. NPR's Kristen Wright has more on our story.
Weather officials in Jamaica say time's running out for people there to get ready for Hurricane Melissa. It's forecasted to make landfall on the island in the coming days. Evan Thompson, director of the Meteorological Service of Jamaica, is warning of the danger of the storm moving so slowly. It's going to sit there pouring water while it's barely moving. And that is a significant challenge that we have to be aware of. Haiti and the Dominican Republic are also under special hurricane advisories. In Cuba, the U.S. Navy ordered some evacuations at Guantanamo Bay. Christian Wright, NPR News.
Yoshi Yamamoto threw a four-hitter for his second complete game as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 in Game 2 of the World Series Saturday night. It was the first complete game that was pitched in the series since 2015. The best-of-seven matchup is now tied at one game apiece. Game three takes place Monday night in Los Angeles. This is NPR News. Left-wing independent Catherine Connolly has won Ireland's presidential election this weekend. It was a landslide victory over her centre-right rival, Heather Humphreys. Connolly had won the backing of Ireland's left-leaning parties, including Sinn Féin. A 19-year-old Vanderbilt University student has won half a million dollars after successfully kicking a 33-yard field goal.
Cynthia Abrams of member station WPLN reports that the spectacle was a part of ESPN's College Game Day kicking contests.
It was the first time ESPN's College Game Day, which each week selects the site of a highly anticipated football matchup, had chosen Vanderbilt's campus since 2008. Even with the school on college football's biggest stage, sophomore Tyler Wang didn't falter.
