Trump, Carney to speak soon, Canadian official says
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will likely talk "over the next number of days" after the U.S. imposed a 35% tariff on goods not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a Canadian official said on Sunday. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal cabinet minister in charge of U.S.-Canada trade, told CBS News' "Face the Nation" that he believes there is an option of striking a deal that will bring down tariffs.

Portable sauna units worth roughly $75K stolen from owner's lot in Winnipeg
The owner of a Winnipeg sauna company is worried about his family's livelihood and the future of their business after he said three of their mobile units were stolen from a lot ahead of its busiest season for rentals. The mobile saunas, made out of cedar and resembling the shape of a barrel, were picked by a black Dodge Ram, which then drove away from the lot on Archibald Street, Amir Hamed, owner of the Backyard Barrel business, told CBC News. The theft lasted a number of hours with the first barrel seen towed on surveillance footage at around 11 p.m. Friday and the last just after 3 a.m. on Saturday, Hamed said. "I honestly never thought they would get stolen, we even had the wheel locks on them … the back doors were locked," he said. "It's really unfortunate, but we're trying to make the best of it," Hamed said. "They're each worth $25,000, so we have $75,000 roughly missing." Winnipeg police said they received a report about the incident which will be referred to the property crimes unit for a follow-up investigation. The Backyard Barrel business operates five mobile units and Hamed said the two that weren't stolen had been rented out. Hamed had been trying to sell the business to spend more time with his family. He managed to secure a buyer but the deal fell through on Friday and hours later the three mobile units were stolen from his property. While he doesn't think the sale is related to the theft, both happening on the same day is "a lot of stuff to deal with." He is afraid the saunas will be torn apart and sold in pieces. But he remains hopeful the units can be recovered without major damages before September when the demand for mobile units starts to soar as temperature begins to drop. "This is our livelihood and it's going to impact selling it drastically," Hamed said. He is encouraging people to keep an eye for the units, in case they are listed for sale online. They are trademarked and have a tin roof, a wooden stove and a panoramic window.

Economy is getting worse under Trump's leadership, Americans say in new poll on eve of his tariff D-Day
A new poll shows Donald Trump underwater on the issue of his tariff agenda just as the president announced a new wave of levies affecting dozens of countries. On Thursday night, Trump signed an executive order that sets new tariffs on U.S. trading partners that are due to go into effect on August 7. Canada is one of the countries hardest hit, facing an increased rate of 35 percent. However, while Trump has been gung-ho on threatening other nations with stiffer levies, it would seem voters are not so convinced it is the right approach. Trump won a second term in November boosted by the same issues that propelled him to victory the first time around. Concerns over immigration and the economy were at the forefront of voters' minds, though he received a key boost from the implosion of Joe Biden's campaign.A Times of London/YouGov poll out Thursday said the president's tariff agenda is one of the biggest anchors driving down his approval numbers. Some 48 percent of Americans graded Trump's job performance over the first six months of his administration as poor, compared to just 21 percent who rated it excellent, 16 percent who rated it good and 11 percent who rated it as fair. On the core issue of tariffs, Trump is clearly tanking — despite months of pronouncements from the White House of America's impending 'Golden Age.' Four in ten Americans say that Trump's tariffs will make the country poorer and stifle economic growth. Just 26 percent believe the White House's line about economic prosperity coming down the pike. And most alarmingly for the White House, inflation still ranks as the No. 1 issue for voters. That could prove to be dangerous ground for the president as the summer concludes with potentially sharp increases to consumer prices stemming from the president's reciprocal tariffs. A CBS News poll further dove into the president's declining numbers on the economy. Six in 10 of voters under 30 now say that Trump's policies are harming the economy, and making them worse off financially. Seven in 10 voters in the same category say that they didn't believe the president is focused enough on lowering prices for consumers. If Trump is losing ground with the younger voters he peeled off from Democrats in 2024, Republicans are set for trouble in the midterm elections next year. Polling isn't yet registering significant voter support for the GOP budget reconciliation package, the 'big, beautiful bill', as it's been overshadowed by the president's tariffs and mass deportation agenda, among other issues. Another factor driving down Trump's numbers with younger voters is Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department blew up the investigation into Epstein, a convicted pedophile and sex criminal who died in 2019, when in early July the agency declared that the billionaire financier died by suicide, as had previously been found, and that no evidence linking him to accomplices, other than Ghislaine Maxwell, was uncovered. The sudden declaration that the 'Epstein Client List', which Vice President JD Vance and others in the administration pledged to release, supposedly did not exist at all erupted into a wildfire on the MAGA right, particularly among Trump's younger supporters. Trump then spent the month of July embracing a series of increasingly obvious attempts at distraction, infuriating many and driving speculation even higher. The Times/YouGov poll found that a much larger share of voters, more than four in ten, think that Trump and his team have partially or completely lied in their public statements regarding the case. Less than 20 percent of Americans believe them. Immigration has been another issue where the president has lost ground as the White House and Department of Homeland Security have accelerated mass deportation programs under his second term. Images of immigration enforcement raids have caused massive protests in Los Angeles and alarmed many Americans including Trump-supporting independents around the country. Nearly every poll on the Decision Desk HQ Average, with the exception of two surveys conducted by Republican outfits, now shows Trump with popularity ratings in the negative, some by double digits. Some pollsters have speculated that Trump began at a deficit other presidents escaped in their first six months due in large part to the circumstances of his 2024 victory and the rank unpopularity that the Democratic Party encouraged with its jumbled mess of a re-election campaign for Biden and later Kamala Harris. Coming into 2025, the president was already burdened by some of the highest disapproval ratings of any incoming president in history.
