Canada Steel Firms Say Weak Tariff Response Risks Wider Layoffs
A group of Canadian steel producers said the government's plan to restrict foreign steel imports isn't strong enough and warned that the industry is set to shed thousands more jobs because of US tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney's government introduced new tariff-rate quotas last week to limit imports of steel and said it may adjust tariffs on US steel products on July 21, depending on the status of trade talks with the Trump administration.

Donald Trump's official account posts video featuring Usher's 'Hey Daddy'
President Donald Trump's official social media accounts posted a video set to Usher's song, "Daddy's Home." On Wednesday, June 25, a video montage of Trump attending the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands was posted on the official Instagram @whitehouse and @potus accounts with the caption "Daddy's home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy." The caption draws lyrics from the R&B legend's 2009 hit song, from his "Raymond v. Raymond" album, that read, "When I walk in, all that I wanna hear is you say, "Daddy's home, home for me." The video features a recording of the song over the montage of Trump. In recent years, Usher's track has found newfound success as a popular sound on TikTok, used to score videos. During the full chorus, Usher sings, "And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day, You know your daddy's home and it's time to play, yeah; So you ain't got to give my lovin' away; So all my ladies, say, "Hey, hey, hey, daddy." Artists such as Beyoncé, Isaac Hayes' estate, Celine Dion and the estate of Sinéad O'Connor have all criticized Trump's use of their music in his promotional materials. 48 hours with Usher: Concert prep family time and what's next for the R&B icon The clip comes as Trump made an appearance at the NATO summit as global tensions escalate amid U.S. involvement the conflict between Iran and Israel. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Usher for comment. Last year, in September, Usher confirmed on an episode of "The View" that he was supporting Trump's opponent and former Vice President Kamala Harris in the November general election. "So you're supporting Kamala Harris in this election, I understand?" cohost Joy Behar asked to which Usher replied, "yes." The R&B singer — who appeared on the daytime talk show one day after the debate between Trump and Harris and pop star Taylor Swift's endorsement of the latter — didn't delve too deep into his own specific policy stances. 'You know what? I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an individual choice," he told the panel, adding also that "how you highlight and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform you have is your prerogative."

Joe Rogan says MAGA ‘very divided' over Trump strikes on Iran: ‘They voted for no war'
Joe Rogan painted a picture of a 'very divided' MAGA on his podcast this week, saying that many Trump supporters are outraged over the US strikes on Iran since they voted for an end to 'forever wars.' 'I think the whole MAGA thing right now is very divided, particularly because one of the things they voted for was no war. Well, now it seems like we're in a war,' Rogan said Tuesday during an interview with Bernie Sanders. 'It's quick, six months in and that's already popped off, and then people are very concerned with now – what happens to our troops overseas that are in these bases in very vulnerable positions?' Advertisement 3 Podcast host Joe Rogan said MAGA is 'very divided' over the US strikes on Iran. YouTube/PowerfulJRE Rogan also shared fears that 'documented terror cells' might have snuck in over the border over the last four years, putting citizens at risk after the US led strikes on three key Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran allegedly sent a message to Trump threatening to activate sleep-cell terror inside the US prior to the attacks, NBC News reported over the weekend. Advertisement Rogan praised Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who has long opposed Trump and most recently decried his attacks on Iran as unconstitutional. 'When a guy like Thomas Massie steps up and says something, he's going to have a lot more support as well,' Rogan said. Trump has hit back at Massie on social media and launched a PAC that aims to unseat him – but Rogan questioned whether 'there's a Streisand effect to that.' 3 The New York Post's front page after the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.

When people recognize that this guy should be allowed to have his own opinions, and [he] makes some reasonable points, and then people are gonna reject this idea,' Rogan said. It's not the first time Rogan has questioned Trump's tactics during his second term – even though he famously hosted Trump on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' before the presidential election last year. That episode racked up 20 million views on YouTube just 20 hours after its release. Advertisement But last week, Rogan took aim at the ICE blitzes led by Trump across Los Angeles. 'If the Trump administration, if they're running and they said, 'We're gonna go to Home Depot and we're gonna arrest all the people at Home Depot. We're gonna go to construction sites and we're going to just tackle people at construction sites,' I don't think anybody would have signed up for that,' Rogan said on his podcast.
