Tariff whiplash, Ontario suspends energy surcharge, Ukraine and the U.S. discuss ceasefire deal, and more

The U.S. president threatened a 50% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum only to walk it back hours later, causing industry confusion on both sides of the border. Donald Trump had said he doubled the levy, set to take effect overnight, in retaliation for Ontario’s surcharge on energy exports.

Also: Ukraine backs a U.S. proposal for a 30-day truce with Russia. Officials from Kyiv and Washington are in Saudi Arabia to discuss a plan to end the 3-year war. The possible deal still needs to be presented to Russia for approval.

And: Canadian snowbirds get caught in the net of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, as new White House rules force non-permanent residents to register with the U.S. government or face penalties.

Plus: Steel and aluminum industries brace for impact, Duterte is arrested in the Philippines and now on way to the Hague, melting glaciers and more.
