"Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman, stocks opened lower this...

as the U.S. trade war with Canada ratchets up."

NPR Scott Horsley reports the Dow Jones industrial average tumbled more than 500 points

in early trading.

"As promised, Canada imposed tariffs this morning on some $20 billion worth of U.S. goods,

including appliances, motorcycles, and dairy products, the import levees are in retaliation for tariffs that President Trump imposed on Canadian products two weeks ago. For decades, the U.S. and Canada shared a free trade agreement which was renewed during Trump's first term as President, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney complains the U.S. signature is often written in Pencil."

Crudwell prices jumped over the holiday weekend after Houthy Rebels attacked facilities in Saudi Arabia, tripalases retail gasoline prices rose to $4.15 a gallon, while diesel fuel is hovering near an all-time high in the $5.90 a gallon. Scott Horsley, in Pair News, Washington. The Israeli Prime Minister's office has termed a newspaper report that he was warned ahead

of time, but did nothing about Hamas's planned October 7 attack on southern Israel, quote and absolute lie.

Israeli opposition leaders have also reacted to the report, which NPR has not independently

confirmed by labeling the Prime Minister "unfit to serve," and Pair's carry-con reports.

According to higher rates, the UAE leader warned Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of an imminent attack 10 days before October 7. Citing multiple foreign sources higher rates says Netanyahu's response was muted. The Prime Minister's office dismissed the claims as a lie. Thousands of Hamas led militants broke through multiple border barriers on October 7, 2023,

killing more than 1,200 and taking more than 250 hostages. Israel responded with a destructive three-year-long military offensive in Gaza, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians according to local health officials. Netanyahu's opponents have long criticized what they say were his security and political failings to thwart the Hamas attack.

Karycon and Pair News tell a leave. The governments of Britain, Canada, and France say they are banning imports of goods made in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. British Foreign Secretary told British lawmakers today that UK government agrees there is ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank.

He also says that the UK move is to stop settlement expansion there. France wants all European countries to stop trading with the settlements, a handful of countries in Europe have taken similar steps. Israel warns that it will respond to this action but has not specified how. Britain is really ministered once the British ambassador to Israel expelled.

Strong winds and heavy rains have been lashing the Hawaiian islands overnight, as Hurricane Lowell moves to their west. From Hawaii Public Radio, Emma Kyris reports, Lowell remains a category to storm, with tops the stained winds of 105 miles per hour. Hawaii and Niihau, the two most westward islands, are under a hurricane and high surf

warning and could see damaging winds and torrential rain. Schools and local government offices have been closed. The state is still recovering from Hurricane Lala, which brought high winds and catastrophic flooding to the big island of Hawaii, killing at least two people.

Residents of Hawaii felt minimal impacts from Lala, but many residents remember Hurricane

Iniki, a category four storm that caused widespread destruction across the island 34 years ago. For NPR News, I'm Emma Kyris. The government ministers in Singapore are getting a raise for the first time in 15 years. However, they are already among the world's most well-compensated government officials.
