Canada cancels joint bridge-opening event with US after Trump announces tariffs

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — A planned joint U.S.-Canada ceremony Friday celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is no longer expected to take place after President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods.

In announcing the tariffs, Trump accused Canada of unfairly discriminating against U.S. automobiles, alcohol and dairy products, escalating tensions with one of the United States’ closest allies.

AP News ChatGPT maker OpenAI said Tuesday that its artificial intelligence system hacked into another AI company on its own in what the company called an “unprecedented cyber incident.”

Explorers used an autonomous sonar drone to find the fuselage and tail of the DC-4 last month under 2,000 feet of water.

What to know about the 50% tariffs Trump is imposing on Canada

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has reached back to the Great Depression for an obscure trade weapon he can use to wallop Canada again.

Trump on Monday announced 50% tariffs on some Canadian products, ratcheting up tensions with one of the closest U.S. allies.

The move threatens to push prices higher at a time when Americans are already frustrated with the high cost of living ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections. It’s also unclear whether Trump’s latest tariffs would survive a legal challenge.

Tariffs are taxes on foreign products. They’re...
