Premiers now huddling with former ambassadors to the U.S. David MacNaughton and Gary Doer.
They are advising the premiers on strategies for coping with the Trump tariffs and for keeping relations positive with state governors, almost all of whom, Republican and Democrat, oppose the levies that are making things more expensive for American consumers.
The United States Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization, has long opposed tariffs on Canadian goods for that very reason.

Thomas Müller to Vancouver Whitecaps: MLS lands one of its biggest ever signings
The Vancouver Whitecaps are on the verge of completing one of the most high-profile acquisitions in Major League Soccer history. According to sources close to the deal, the Canadian club has reached a verbal agreement to bring in German legend Thomas Müller, the 35-year-old Bayern Munich icon and 2014 World Cup winner. The move includes up to $400,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to finalize the MLS mechanisms needed to facilitate the transfer. Only minor bureaucratic steps remain before the deal becomes official. Müller in MLS: A Long-Awaited Move Müller has long expressed interest in finishing his career in North America, and Vancouver has now emerged as his chosen destination — beating out interest from clubs like LAFC, who reportedly made a late push in recent weeks. If finalized, the signing would represent not only a massive upgrade on the field, but a transformative leap in international visibility and ambition for the Whitecaps — a club that recently reached the final of the Concacaf Champions Cup and is currently in the mix for the Western Conference lead. The Missing Star in Vancouver's Project Toronto had its Italian experiment. Montreal had its Drogba moment. Vancouver, until now, lacked a marquee name. That ends here. With Müller, the Whitecaps secure not just a brand, but a player who embodies professionalism and pedigree. Nearly two decades at Bayern Munich. Over 700 appearances. Twelve Bundesliga titles. Two Champions Leagues. One World Cup. Yes, Müller may not be in his prime. But his football IQ, leadership, and knack for decisive moments make him a perfect fit for MLS — a league increasingly built around smart veterans who can still dictate games. For a franchise that has quietly become one of the most tactically coherent and well-run in MLS, Müller is the statement signing that could elevate the Caps from contenders to champions.

The Internet Is Losing It Over A Video Of Trump Being Drowned Out By Bagpipes In Scotland
President Donald Trump has supplied the internet with plenty of ammunition over the years to poke fun at him with his many awkward moments, but his latest unexpected moment has social media users cracking up. On Monday, a clip of Trump greeting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer outside of the president's Turnberry golf course in Scotland during his visit to the country began making the rounds online. The pair were meeting to discuss the trade agreement they announced in May and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, among other topics. In the footage, Trump, who is seen standing outside of the golf course with Starmer, attempts to speak with the press, but his words are drowned out almost entirely by the sound of bagpipes. The bagpiper was reportedly hired by Trump to perform at his golf course as Starmer arrived, according to the Daily Beast. People on X, formerly Twitter, teased Trump over the moment. Trump tried to flex in Scotland, And got drowned out by bagpipes couldn't script it better:A disgraced president, flanked by scandals, trying to rewrite history…And the soundtrack is a national rejection played at full volume. — Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) July 28, 2025 The one instance where bagpipes are less annoying — House of Cards (@sparkelsedwards) July 28, 2025 Scotland is being drowned out by bagpipes — Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) July 28, 2025 This may be the first time he's ever been shut up. — The Prophecy (@TheTrueXProphet) July 28, 2025 This may be the first time he's ever been shut up. — The Prophecy (@TheTrueXProphet) July 28, 2025 Meanwhile, Trump marked the end of his trip to Scotland on Tuesday by opening a new golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.

MTG First GOP Rep To Label Gaza Crisis 'Genocide'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) became the first congressional Republican to label the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip a 'genocide' on Monday, after President Donald Trump acknowledged that Palestinians are starving. Greene's comment came within a larger criticism of a colleague, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), who spoke approvingly of the deteriorating situation in Gaza. 'Release the hostages. Until then, starve away,' Fine wrote on social media last week, adding that he considers the increasing evidence of widespread famine in the region to be 'a lie.' Even Trump was moved to say there is 'real starvation' occurring in Gaza as a result of Israel's nearly two-year war in retaliation for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on civilians that was instigated by fighters from the Palestinian militant group Hamas, who took hostages back to Gaza. 'It's the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,' Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'But a Jewish U.S. Representative calling for the continued starvation of innocent people and children is disgraceful,' she said. 'His awful statement will actually cause more antisemitism.' Greene has also fueled antisemitic tropes in the past, most notably in a now-deleted 2018 Facebook post that suggested a link between the wealthy Jewish Rothschild family and wildfires in California — prompting ridicule for what her critics called her ' Jewish space lasers ' theory. Her choice of words, however, makes her unique among congressional Republicans. Trump said during his visit to Scotland on Monday that he had been disturbed by images and reporting he had seen on television of the worsening situation in Gaza. Israel, which controls entry to Gaza and patrols its coastline, has for months been blocking aid from reaching over 2 million Palestinians there. Anadolu / Anadolu via Getty Images Photos of exhausted, skeletal children have begun to surface on front pages around the world. One child reportedly weighed less upon her death than when she was born. 'You can't fake that,' Trump said of the images. Like Fine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flat-out denied that Palestinian civilians are starving to death. Israel has for months claimed that Hamas, which controls Gaza, is misusing shipments of food and supplies, although the New York Times reported over the weekend that Israeli officials know there is no evidence to support that assertion. Asked Monday if he agreed with Netanyahu, Trump responded, 'I don't know.' Andrew Harnik / Getty Images 'I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly,' he went on. 'Because those children look very hungry.' HuffPost.
