Trump says Canada recognizing Palestinian state would reward Hamas
US President Donald Trump has criticized Canada's decision to back Palestinian statehood, arguing that such recognition would effectively reward Hamas, according to a White House official. The remarks came shortly after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his government plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations this September. "As the president stated, he would be rewarding Hamas if he recognizes a Palestinian state, and he doesn't think they should be rewarded," a White House official told reporters on Wednesday, requesting anonymity. "So he is not going to do that. President Trump's focus is on getting people fed (in Gaza)." The official declined to confirm whether the Canadian government had given Washington prior notice before Carney's announcement. Trump followed up on the development with a post on his Truth Social platform early Thursday, hinting at potential strain in US-Canada trade talks. "Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh' Canada!!!" he wrote.

Oil steady as market weighs Trump tariff threats, surprise US stockbuild
Ammon News - Oil prices steadied on Thursday as investors weighed the risk of supply shortages amid U.S. President Donald Trump's push for a swift resolution to the war in Ukraine through more tariffs, though a surprise build in U.S. crude stocks weighed on prices. Brent crude futures for September , set to expire on Thursday, fell 10 cents, or 0.1%, to $73.14 a barrel by 0345 GMT. The more active Brent October contract was down 14 cents, or 0.2%, at $72.33. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for September dropped 5 cents, or 0.1%, to $69.95 a barrel. Both benchmarks settled 1% higher on Wednesday. Trump said he would start imposing measures on Russia, including 100% secondary tariffs on its trading partners, if it did not make progress on ending the war within 10-12 days, moving up an earlier 50-day deadline. On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department announced fresh sanctions on over 115 Iran-linked individuals, entities and vessels, in a sign the Trump administration is doubling down on its "maximum pressure" campaign after bombing Tehran's key nuclear sites in June. Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 7.7 million barrels in the week ending July 25 to 426.7 million barrels, driven by lower exports, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday. Analysts had expected a 1.3 million-barrel draw. Gasoline stocks fell by 2.7 million barrels to 228.4 million barrels, far exceeding forecasts for a 600,000-barrel draw. Reuters
