Carney ‘welcomes' U.S. court ruling striking down some U.S. tariffs
Prime Minister Mark Carney said he 'welcomes' the decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade to strike down President Donald Trump's broad-based tariffs on most countries. On Wednesday, court ruled that Trump does not have the authority to impose tariffs on nearly every country using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, usually referred to by the acronym IEEPA. The decision blocked both the 'Liberation Day' duties and the fentanyl-related tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. Addressing the House of Commons Thursday morning, Carney said the decision 'is consistent with Canada's long-standing position that the U.S. IEEPA tariffs were unlawful as well as unjustified.' 'That said, we recognize that our trading relationship with the United States is still profoundly and adversely threatened and affected by similarly unjustified 232 tariffs against steel, aluminum and the auto sector, as well as continuing threats of tariffs against other strategic sectors including lumber, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals,' he said. 'It therefore remains the top priority of Canada's new government to establish a new economic and security relationship with the United States and to strengthen our collaboration with reliable trading partners and allies around the world.' The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal soon after the ruling came down. While the president has not yet commented on the ruling, members of Trump's team have widely condemned it. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on social media that Americans are 'living under a judicial tyranny.' White House spokesman Kush Desai said 'it is not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency.' The decision at the New York-based federal court was delivered by a panel of three judges. One was appointed by Trump during his first administration, another by former president Barack Obama and the third by former president Ronald Reagan. The ruling said 'any interpretation of IEEPA that delegates unlimited tariff authority is unconstitutional.' The decision separately blocked the fentanyl tariffs because it said 'they do not deal with the threats' Trump cited to justify the duties in his executive order. The decision calls into question how Trump can continue to wield the threat of tariffs against the world. He has said he imposed the duties to encourage other countries to make trade deals with the U.S. He's also claimed they'll bring manufacturing back to America and fill federal coffers. The president relied heavily on IEEPA to implement many of his tariffs. While the national security statute gives the U.S. president authority to control economic transactions after declaring an emergency, it had never been used before to impose tariffs. Trump declared an emergency at the northern border to hit Canada with economywide tariffs in March. He partially paused those levies a few days later for imports that comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade. The next month, he declared America's trade deficits also amounted to to a national emergency in order to hit nearly every country with tariffs. The president walked back the most devastating duties a few hours later but left a 10 per cent universal tariff in place. Trump has continued to use IEEPA to threaten unpredictable increases to tariffs. After recently vowing to increase duties on the European Union to 50 per cent starting in June, he pushed the date back to July. Wednesday's court decision appears to take that tariff threat power out of the president's hands. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the court's decision 'good news' but said Canada 'can no longer put all our eggs in the U.S. basket. Too risky.' 'Canada must fire up free enterprise to build pipelines, powerlines, ports, rail, roads, and tech — so we are strong, self-reliant and sovereign for a change,' Poilievre said in a post on social media Thursday.

FIA reduces penalty for swearing after driver backlash
The maximum penalties for drivers swearing has been reduced by 50% while stewards will also be given more discretion on deciding penalties, the governing FIA said on Wednesday. Competitors in Formula One and rallying have been at loggerheads with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem over a crackdown on bad language during events. Ben Sulayem said last month that he was considering 'improvements' to rules. World championship rally drivers had made a breakthrough in April when they reached a compromise to divide events into a controlled zone and an uncontrolled one, with the change now being implemented across all events sanctioned by the FIA. The FIA said the base maximum penalty has been reduced from €10,000 (R204,466) to €5,000 (R102,232) while stewards will have the option to fully suspend a penalty if it is the first offence by a driver or a team. Moreover, stewards will be able to differentiate between 'controlled and non-controlled environments'. Controlled environments include press conferences while tracks or rally stages are uncontrolled environments. 'As a former rally driver, I know first-hand the range of emotions that are faced during competition,' said Ben Sulayem, who is up for re-election at the end of the year. 'I have led an extensive and collaborative review with contributions from across the seven FIA world championships, FIA member clubs and other motor sports organisations. 'The improvements the FIA announced today to Appendix B will ensure we continue to promote the best of sportsmanship in motorsport, while also giving stewards effective guidelines to act against individuals who may bring the sport into disrepute.' Appendix B covers stewards' penalty guidelines, setting out punishments for misconduct including words, deeds or writings that might have caused moral injury to the FIA or motorsport in general. Mitigating circumstances will also be considered while the abuse of officials will now result in sporting penalties instead of fines. Formula One Stewards chair Garry Connelly said the new changes would give stewards guidance to 'differentiate between on- and off-track issues'. 'Drivers are looked up to as role models by young fans and are rightly seen as ambassadors for the wider world of motorsport,' said Ronan Morgan, president of the Drivers' Committee. 'How they act really does matter but it is important to recognise that there is a difference between what is said during a race and in a press conference.' Last season, Red Bull's triple world champion Max Verstappen was punished for his language in a press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix in September.
