Prison riot in Mexico's Veracruz state leaves 7 dead, 11 injured as authorities restore order
TUXPAN, Mexico (AP) — Authorities in the Mexican state of Veracruz on Sunday said they have restored order in a prison where seven inmates were killed and 11 were injured in a riot that broke out the previous night. In a statement posted on X, the Department of Public Security of Veracruz said prisoners injured during the riot in Tuxpan prison are now receiving medical attention, and that fires started by some of the inmates have been extinguished. Videos from the city of Tuxpan showed columns of smoke emerging from the prison on Saturday, while footage published on social media showed inmates with burns. Some of the inmates recorded videos in which they claimed the riot began as a group of prisoners rebelled against a criminal organization known as Grupo Sombra that was extorting prisoners and their families. The Tuxpan prison was holding 778 prisoners in June, according to the latest official data. It is designed to house 735 inmates.

Trump, Carney to speak in coming days, Canadian official says
President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will likely talk 'over the next number of days' after the US imposed a 35% tariff on goods not covered by the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, a Canadian official said on Sunday. Dominic LeBlanc, the federal cabinet minister in charge of US-Canada trade, also told CBS News' 'Face the Nation' that he was 'encouraged' by recent discussions and believed a deal to bring down tariffs remained an option. 'We're encouraged by the conversations with Secretary Lutnick and Ambassador Greer, but we're not yet where we need to go to get the deal that's in the best interest of the two economies,' LeBlanc said, referring to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

'We think there is an option of striking a deal that will bring down some of these tariffs provide greater certainty to investment,' LeBlanc said. Washington linked Friday's tariff announcement in part to what it said was Canada's failure to stop fentanyl smuggling. It was the latest blow in a months-long tariff war which Trump initiated shortly after returning to power this year. Carney says Canada accounts for just 1% of US fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce the volumes.
