The Latest: Last-minute talks seek to stop US tariffs on Canadian goods

Last-minute negotiations aim to prevent the U.S. from imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, set to begin on Wednesday. The negotiations come as the fate of the Gaza ceasefire remains uncertain following Jared Kushner's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who did not commit to the U.S.-proposed plan. Additionally, Trump's shift away from South Korea has raised concerns about U.S. security interests in the region.

In a separate incident, a Massachusetts woman accused of plotting to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was sentenced to just over six years in prison for bringing homemade firebombs to the U.S. Capitol. Riley English, a 26-year-old transgender woman, claimed she was in a mental health crisis and abusing drugs when she entered the Capitol in January 2025 to carry out her plan, which she said was not politically motivated or violent.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott, seeking to compel the extradition of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent for trial. The lawsuit comes after an ICE agent shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national, near his home in Maine. Rep. Chellie Pingree revealed that the person shot was not subject to a final removal order, contradicting ICE's and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) statements.
