U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose 35 per cent tariffs on ºÃÉ«tv imports on Aug. 1 in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on social media Thursday night, evidently setting a new date for bilateral negotiations between the two countries. Canada and the United States had committed to working on a new economic and security agreement with a July 21 deadline for a deal. In the letter, Trump said that if Canada works to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States, he may consider a tariff adjustment. Trump also pointed to supply management in the dairy sector, repeating his inaccurate claim about Canada putting 400 per cent tariffs on American dairy farmers. The president said the trade deficit with Canada is a threat to the American economy and national security.

The child remains in hospital. Investigators initially said they suspected the child’s injuries were caused by an animal attack because that theory was supported by “multiple medical and pathology experts." But as the investigation continued, police discovered that there were no traces of animal DNA from the victim’s wounds.
