About this episode

The episode discusses Canada's new tariffs on U.S. goods and Russia's renewed attacks on Kyiv amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Canada’s new tariffs on about $20 billion of U.S. goods are now in effect, while President Donald Trump threatens further action. Plus, Russia resumed its attacks on Ukraine with a deadly overnight strike on Kyiv, just hours after U.S. envoys wrapped up a new round of diplomacy aimed at ending the war. And Trump spent the holiday weekend pushing “New America” as a new name for New Mexico, but unlike his other renaming efforts, he can’t do it himself.
