LeBlanc says he expects Carney, Trump will speak in the coming days
OTTAWA — Dominic LeBlanc says he expects Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump will speak "over the next number of days" as the United States ratchets up pressure in trade talks. The Canada-U.S. trade minister appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday and spoke about where talks stand between the two countries. LeBlanc told host Margaret Brennan that while Canada is "disappointed" with Trump's new 35-per-cent tariffs, he is continuing to work toward a deal that would hopefully strike down trade restrictions between the nations. LeBlanc was in Washington last week attempting to find common ground with the Trump administration ahead of Friday's deadline to secure a new deal between the trading partners. While Mexico was granted a 90-day delay on new duties, Trump on Friday hit Canada with a 35-per-cent tariff on all goods that are not compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. Canada also continues to face U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles as well as Trump's new 50-per-cent tariffs on semi-finished copper products. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 3, 2025. Craig Lord, The Canadian Press

OPEC+ countries to boost oil production by 547,000 barrels per day
NEW YORK (AP) — A group of countries that are part of the OPEC+ alliance of oil-exporting countries has agreed to boost oil production, a move some believe could lower oil and gasoline prices, citing a steady global economic outlook and low oil inventories. The group met virtually on Sunday and announced that eight of its member countries would increase oil production by 547,000 barrels per day in September. The countries boosting output, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman, had been participating in voluntary production cuts, initially made in November 2023, which were scheduled to be phased out by September 2026. The announcement means the voluntary production cuts will end ahead of schedule. The move follows an OPEC+ decision in July to boost production by 548,000 barrels per day in August. OPEC said the production adjustments may be paused or reversed as market conditions evolve. When production increases, oil and gasoline prices may fall. But Brent crude oil, which is considered a global benchmark, has been trading near $70 per barrel, which could be due to a potential loss of Russian oil on the market and a large rise in crude inventories in China, according to research firm Clearview Energy Partners. 'President Trump has not obviously relented from his threat to sanction Russian energy if the Kremlin does not reach a peace deal with Ukraine as of August 7, potentially via 'secondary tariffs' on buyers,' Clearview Energy Partners said in an analyst note Sunday. The eight countries will meet again on Sept. 7, OPEC said in a news release. Cathy Bussewitz, The Associated Press

Trump Lashes Out At ‘Racist Sleazebag' Charlamagne Tha God After Epstein-MAGA Comment
President Donald Trump ripped Charlamagne tha God in a scathing weekend post after the radio host claimed that the 'MAGA base' is losing its power over the Republican Party due to the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. 'The very wonderful and talented Lara Trump, whose show is a big ratings success, put racist sleazebag Charlamagne 'The God' (Why is he allowed to use the word 'GOD' when describing himself? Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?),' Trump began in a message on Truth Social, referring to his daughter-in-law's Fox News show, 'My View with Lara Trump.' Calling Charlamagne a 'Low IQ individual' who 'knows nothing about me or what I have done,' Trump went on to claim that he's ended '5 Wars' and created 'the greatest economy, where prices and Inflation have come way down, and where STUPID and CORRUPT JOE BIDEN set the record for doing the Worst Job as President, EVER.' Trump continued: 'But this dope, Charlamagne, would vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala? Remember, one year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World. MAGA!!!' During his appearance Saturday on Lara Trump's show, Charlamagne predicted that 'traditional conservatives are going to take the Republican Party back.' 'I think there is a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to,' he said. 'I think that this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back.' The 'Breakfast Club' host added, 'I think that they know that this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up. The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go. And for the first time, they know they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. I think they're going to do that.' Voters, including Trump's supporters, have expressed anger over the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files after the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation announced in a two-page memo that it would not release any additional files on the convicted sex offender. Charlamagne, who hosted an audio town hall with Harris prior to the 2024 elections, likely also drew Trump's ire after Trump ordered an investigation into Biden's aides for allegedly covering up the former president's supposed cognitive decline. Charlamagne argued on 'The Daily Show' last month that Trump is 'losing it as badly as Biden.' But the radio host has publicly taken aim at the Democrats as well. He criticized the left last week for glossing over former President Bill Clinton's supposed ties to Epstein. 'It's just funny how the news works,' Charlamange said during a July 29 episode of 'The Breakfast Club' radio show. 'Because Bill Clinton wrote a letter to Jeffrey Epstein as well for his birthday — but nobody's talking about that. And Jeffrey Epstein had a picture of Bill Clinton in a dress, in high heels in his New York mansion, but nobody's talking about that.' Related...
