The U.S. is hitting back at Canada after Canada put retaliatory tariffs on American goods into place today.
“The White House now says it's banning Canadian motorcycles, dairy, and alcohol products”
from the U.S. along other actions, and here's Emily Feing has more. Siding what it called discriminatory measures against American cheese, the White House announced it was stopping most Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy, and motorcycles. The Trump administration has also threatened potential 50% tariffs on Canadian assembled in made cars that could kick in this coming January, despite a free trade agreement
signed during Trump's first term exempting such cars from tariffs.
Earlier this week, Trump also wrote on a social media site he was forbidding Canadian origin products from the GSA. That's the federal government's procurement platform, which handles hundreds of billions of dollars of orders and contracts for goods in software and other services that support federal offices.
Emily Feing and Peer News, Washington.

The U.S. military sends it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, as Iran hits back in American targets in the region, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about the latest flare up on his swing through South America as NPR's Michelle Kalman reports. The Trump administration has been trying to pressure Iran through sanctions in the military blockade, but with known negotiations in sight to end the war and Iran testing the
blockade, Secretary Rubio is warning that these clashes will continue. The back and forth is pretty straightforward in that is that Iran continues to try to hit U.S. naval ships, and for every time they do that or try to do that, they're going to lose tankers.
“And I think you'll see that again today.”
He was speaking at the end of a day of talks in Colombia, where he talked about security cooperation with the new right-wing government to fight drug trafficking. Michelle Kalman and PR news, but in Kia, Colombia. A jury for person says the lone holdout juror in the Lindsey Clancy trial said he had a reasonable doubt, but still wouldn't equip.
That's according to an interview with Boston's NBC 10 last week, a judge declared a mistrial when jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict over whether Clancy was criminally responsible for killing her three young children. Clancy's lawyer is asking President Trump to pardon her. A President's pardon power applies only to federal crimes, and Clancy was prosecuted
under state law, but Trump has taken a broad view of his clemency powers. U.S. stocks sank today after the three-day weekend, and the latest fighting in the war with Iran pushed oil prices higher, the S&P 500 fell more than half a percent. You're listening to NPR news.
“Republicans are descending on Dallas this week for a two-day convention called by President”
Trump to rally his party ahead of the midterm elections. Trump has said he wants a channel of the national conventions that are held every four years, when a party's presidential candidate is formally nominated and rising political
stars speak, Republicans have never held a midterm convention before, but Democrats did
in the 1970s and '80s. The program for international student assessment or PISA tells us how the world's 15-year-olds are doing in subjects like science, math, and reading, and PR's Jannaki Mehta reports on the 2025 results. The idea behind PISA is to see how students nearing the end of their school career are
doing at applying their academics to real-world tasks. The good news for American students, they did better in science and reading than students in most other countries, though China and Singapore are topped every subject, compared with 2022, American students' scores didn't change much other than a dip in reading skills.
Girls did better than boys in reading, but boys scored higher on computational problem solving and math, and the performance gap between high-performing and low-performing American students was much bigger than in other countries. Looking with this latest report, PISA will now happen every four years instead of three Genaki Mehta and Pyrenees.
The creators of satirical cartoon South Park, say they've apparently changed the show's name to South America, ahead of its 29th season, the renaming appears to target President Trump who's recently tried to rename bodies of water like Lake Ontario, to Lake America, and the Gulf of Mexico, into the Gulf of America.
