President Trump is heading to Ireland, where he'll meet with that country's President in Prime Minister this weekend, before boarding Air Force 1 on Friday night, Trump once again told reporters that Republicans will do well in November midterm elections.
“"We're going to have a big, I believe, you know, you never know, you look at statistically”
when you're the president, Republican or Democrat, but some reasons weird things happen in the midterm, but I think we're going to have a great win in the midterm." Trump also said thousands of people were turned away from the Republican Convention and Dallas this week, even though cameras showed many empty seats during the events. For decades, the automotive supply chain in the U.S. and Canada has been tightly woven
together, but as NPR's Will Are Ruben reports, the renewed trade war is putting pressure on the companies that make auto parts. All kinds of parts are made by businesses that take other parts, machine them into something new, and sell them to big car makers who turn them into a car. And for decades, because many of North America's car supply chains have been built as one
ecosystem, parts have moved across the border fairly easily, but new tariffs make that more expensive. Here is Jim Jarrow, the CEO of the Canadian Manufacturing Company, Linemar.
“Putting tariffs into the process is like putting like a bunch of total boosts every few”
miles on the same highway, right? President Trump wrote on truth social that if the U.S. and Canada don't reach a trade deal
by January 1st, tariffs on cars and auto parts coming from Canada will rise to 50 percent.
Will Are Ruben and PR News. The Justice Department says an Afghan woman accused of supporting an ISIS-inspired terrorist plot in the U.S. has been deported. The case against the woman was the first ever in a special long-dormant court, and PR's Ryan Lucas reports.
U.S. authorities arrested 47-year-old Nazira Haji Zada in July at her home in Texas. Haji Zada is originally from Afghanistan, but was a legal permanent resident of the U.S. Last year, her son and son-in-law were convicted for plotting an attack on election day 2024. American authorities say Haji Zada supported the plot and worked to radicalize her family.
The Justice Department decided not to charge her though, and instead brought her before
the alien terrorist removal court, a special court created in 1996, but never before used
by the Justice Department. Now the department says Haji Zada has been deported after waving her rights to challenge her detention and agreeing to her removal. Ryan Lucas and PR News, Washington. Max Rose across the board on Wall Street Friday, the S&P 500's now up to four-day losing

day. A new study in JAMA Network opened finds that laws requiring aid restrictions on social media apps aren't effective, and PR's re-decharging reports. Researchers looked at nearly 40 published studies on the effectiveness of various social media-related legislations across the world and the United States.
In the U.S., two-thirds of 11 and 12-year-olds use social media despite a minimum age requirement of 13. Study author Dr. Jason Nagata is a pediatrician at the University of California San Francisco.
He says age verification is crucial to protecting minus from the harms of social media.
There's a lot of other strategies are really dependent on the fact that we can identify under age or minor users. He says social media companies are already using sophisticated algorithms for targeted content, and they could also use them for age verification of minus, free-decharging and PR news.
