"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Skivone.
Iran is setting a defiant tone, a day ahead of the U.S. announcing new economic sanctions
against it.
“The new Iranian security chief said that any country that joins President Trump's”
new efforts would be considered an enemy. And PR's had deal, I'll shall she report." The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council said that Iran would retaliate in a "size-mic manner" to President Trump's new economic sanctions, and that Iran would target any country assisting the U.S.
In an interview that aired on state TV, Mossen Rizai, he said that Iran would target tankers on oil-shipping routes, alternate to the state of Hormuz out of the Persian Gulf. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besend is expected to announce new aggressive sanctions on Iran on Monday, which President Trump has called "Economic D-Day." Iran is already suffering from distressing economic circumstances that began before the war with
the U.S. and Israel broke out in February. But the U.S. and the U.S. and Canada have deepened its talks between the two collapsed over the weekend.
Now both nations are gearing up tariffs of 50 percent on a range of each other's goods.
New U.S. import taxes will hit about 5 percent of what Canada ships to the U.S. every year, from hockey sticks to whiskey to tongue depressors, and Canada, the premier of British Columbia, David Eby, is saying that they have no choice but to walk away from an overall bad relationship. My hope is that with a change in administration, or a change in approach from this administration
following the electoral impacts that they're seeing currently, that will be able to get to a place of stability.
“But I think the idea that our relationship with the United States is going to go back to”
what it was, is folly. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says that Canada would retaliate dollar for dollar early next month targeting sectors, including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Nearly 33,000 residents in northwest Indiana are still without power, 11 days after a deadly
storm move through the region. Barbangiano has more. A newly filed class action lawsuit is alleging Nipsco failed to manage vegetation as well as conduct adequate inspections of utility poles and power lines. In a statement, the utility says it strongly disagrees with the characterization of Nipsco's
vegetation management practices. Portag Indiana resident Cynthia Sanchez is still without power following the storms. She says nearby power lines were knocked down by trees and that she remembers Nipsco offering
“to cut back trees on her property a few years ago.”
And we did take them up on it, so they did cut down one of our trees, but there are so many trees in the neighborhood right by the lines. Nipsco estimates power to be restored in the portage area on Tuesday for NPR News. I'm Barbangiano in Indianapolis. This is NPR News.
