Canada's Retaliatory Tariffs On US, Trumpapalooza Convention, Miami Cargo Plane Crash

from Up First from NPR · host Jodiveb

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. goods took effect at midnight, matching President Trump’s latest duties after talks collapsed last month. Republicans are gathering in Dallas this week for an unusual midterm convention headlined both nights by President Trump, who wants voters to pretend he is on the ballot as the party looks to energize voters ahead of the midterm election. Investigators recovered the flight recorders from the Amazon cargo plane that overran a runway in Miami, killing five people on the ground as the NTSB examines what caused the crash.
