What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump is calling an expanded ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia a historic deal. The agreement builds on a truce that Trump helped broker three months ago that ended a deadly border dispute.
18 Cambodian prisoners of war will be released and under this agreement observers from ASEAN countries
What recent agreements did President Trump broker between Thailand and Cambodia?
including Malaysia, will be deployed to make sure that the peace prevails and endures. I have no doubt that it will.
Trump presided over the signing ceremony at the start of the regional summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Kuala Lumpur. However, long-standing differences over the border remain. President Trump says he will place an additional 10 percent tariff on Canadian products. His announcement follows an anti-tariff ad campaign run by the province of Ontario on major U.S. television networks, as 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.

In the World Series, Los Angeles Dodgers have tied the series at one game apiece with last night's 5-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Steve Futterman is in Toronto.
Game two was essentially a pitcher's duel for the first six innings. After six, the game was tied one to one. But in the seventh, the Dodgers broke through.
High drive deep to left field. It's Smith with a big swing.
Dodger catcher Will Smith hit a solo home run to make it two to one. The call on Fox Sports. Two batters later, another home run made it three to one. L.A. scored two more times in the eighth, and that was more than enough run support for Dodgers starter Yoshi Yamamoto, who pitched the first World Series complete game since 2015. L.A. manager Dave Roberts on Yamamoto's performance.
Outstanding. Yeah, he was just locked in tonight.
After an off day, the series resumes in Los Angeles on Monday for Game 3. For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman at the World Series in Toronto.

Love is not having my daughter having to be forced to undress in a locker room with a man. That's not love.
That line got her a standing ovation. Criticizing Democrats for policies allowing transgender kids to use bathrooms and locker rooms aligned with their gender identity and not their birth sex has been a key closing message for Earl Sears. The Democrat in the race, Abigail Spanberger, says local communities should decide on how to handle these issues, not the state.
