Live from MPR News, I'm Jial Snyder, Canada set to impose tariffs on about $2...
of American goods, a new tariff set to go into effect this hour, and our retaliation
“for President Trump's 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.”
Reporter Russ McNamara says he united auto workers union is watching these tariffs very closely. The Canadian tariff's are for things like appliances, dairy products, and raw materials, like steel and pulp wood. While automakers aren't directly impacted in this round of tariffs, President Trump is threatening to put a 50% levian all Canadian cars and auto parts on January 1st. He says his administration's policies are saving the US auto industry.
UAW President Sean Fain disagrees with how Trump has approached the issue. "We've said all along, we support strategic targeted tariffs, but they need to be made to deal with the problem. Not focus on people that aren't the problem." Fain says stock buybacks, and the exploitation of non-union Mexican labor is harming the auto workers. For NPR News, I'm Russ McNamara in Detroit.
On social media Monday, President Trump warned that he may prohibit Canadian jet manufacture
of bombardier from selling in the United States, unless the company builds its jets in the US and stops in his words, treating America like a piggy bank. The White House has not said how such an action would be enforced. National Transportation Safety Board Chair, Jennifer Hammond, he says, "One part of the investigation into Sunday's deadly crash of a cargo plane at Miami International Airport will be on a safety measure called
E-MAS, a system of lightweight, crushable material designed to stop planes at overshoot runways." Those are excellent questions. The questions are on E-MAS, and whether that would have helped prevent this tragedy, and should the E-MAS be everywhere at every airport that
“will be a key part of our investigation.”
The NTSB says the plane's flanked reporters have been recovered, and that investigators are focusing on whether the plane touched down too late to stop safely if five people were killed. Several conservation groups suing to block President Trump's order that sharply reduces the size of two national monuments in southern Utah, quiz clements with member station KNAU reports.
The groups argue the cuts to bears ears and grand staircase Escalani National Monuments violate a federal law, giving presidents the power to create new monuments. Scott Braden with the southern Utah Wilderness Alliance says, "That law doesn't give presidents the power to roll back monuments created by their predecessors." We believe the 1906 Antiquities Act gives the president of the United States the authority
to create national monuments not to reduce or destroy them. A White House spokesperson said in a statement that previous Democratic administrations "abused the Antiquities Act" and that Trump's cuts are restoring common sense land use in those areas.

"This is NPR News." New research published in the Lancet Public Health looks at the effects of secondhand smoke. It finds exposure may put more people at risk of premature death and previously thought NPR has shown Jonathan Lambert reports.
Smoking tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, largely because of all the harmful chemicals in smoke. That smoke can also harm non-smokers who just happen to breathe it in. Scientists have studied this harm for decades, but haven't had a clear sense of the global impact of secondhand smoke.
So a team analyzed data on exposure and health consequences from over 200 countries and territories over the past few decades.
They found nearly 3 billion people were exposed to secondhand smoke in 2023.
About a quarter of those were children under 15 who are especially vulnerable. The researchers estimate about 1.6 million deaths were attributable to that exposure, nearly 3 percent of all deaths that year. Jonathan Lambert and PR News. Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to cut 4,000 jobs globally to reduce costs
and compete with cheaper Chinese electric car makers. The company says it aims to achieve $2.3 billion in saving over the next two years. Its chief executive says the auto industry faces challenges with technological changes and geopolitical uncertainty. Most of the job cuts expected in the UK where Jaguar Land Rover employs around 34,000 people.
The financial markets in Asia are wavering which depends benchmarking the UK fluctuating between gains and losses in early Tuesday trading at a since-edge top for tens of a percent.
