25.10.2025 โข The Day Trump Imposed New Tariffs on Canada
โจUS media began the day with continued focus on President Trump's White House ballroom project and the ongoing deployment of a US aircraft carrier for drug crackdown efforts. A significant development was the Pentagon's acceptance of a $130 million donation to pay military salaries during the government shutdown, a move drawing both scrutiny and debate over congressional approval.
Later in the day, the controversy surrounding Trump's White House ballroom construction persisted, alongside growing concern about the government shutdown and the identification of Timothy Mellon as the anonymous donor to the Pentagon. By evening, media attention sharply shifted to Trump's decision to increase tariffs on Canadian goods by 10% in retaliation for an anti-tariff ad aired by Ontario, a direct escalation of previous trade tensions.
