Live updates: Trump to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
Update: Date: Title: Trump is seriously considering executive action to limit payments to college athletes, source says Content: The White House is seriously considering executive action that could increase scrutiny on name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals for college athletes, a source familiar told CNN. No decisions have been made yet, the source added. Trump and former Alabama football coach Nick Saban spoke at the University of Alabama commencement last week, where they discussed NIL deals and Saban's belief that the inflow of money can damage college sports, according to reports. Update: Date: Title: Trump and Canada's Prime Minister Carney will hold a high-stakes meeting today: Here's what to expect Content: Last week, Canada's Liberal Party swept to victory in federal elections, with Prime Minister Mark Carney riding a wave of anti-Trump sentiment and using his victory speech to declare Canada would 'never' yield to the US. President Donald Trump's steep tariffs on Canada, and threats to its sovereignty, dramatically transformed the election. On trade: Trump's decision to levy duties on Canadian steel and aluminum, cars and car parts, and threats to tariff pharmaceuticals and lumber have shaken Canadian businesses and pushed the country toward recession. Canada has retaliated with tariffs on US imports, including on metal and cars. On the G7: Trump and his aides have not made a final decision on attending the Group of 7 meeting, which Carney is hosting next month in Alberta. On annexation: Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex Canada and make it the US' '51st state,' souring relations between the two longtime allies. In an NBC interview on Sunday, Trump said it was 'highly unlikely' he'd use military force to annex Canada. 'I don't see it with Canada. I just don't see it, I have to be honest with you,' he said. He added that he'd talked on the phone with Carney after his election win, calling the Canadian leader a 'very nice man.' When asked whether annexation would come up during Carney's visit, Trump responded: 'I'll always talk about that.' If Canada was a state, 'it would be great,' Trump said. 'It would be a cherished state.' Carney slammed Trump in his election victory speech: 'America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us,' Carney said. 'That will never ever happen.' Carney reiterated statements he had made on the campaign trail about the vastly changed nature of Canada's relationship with the US. 'We are over the shock of the American betrayal but we should never forget the lessons. We have to look out for ourselves,' he said. Update: Date: Title: Less than half of Americans trust that CDC and FDA can carry out core functions, poll finds Content: A new poll finds that less than half of Americans have at least some confidence that federal health agencies can carry out key responsibilities, according to a new poll from KFF. Less than 50% of the respondents said they had a lot or some confidence in agencies like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the US Food and Drug Administration to ensure the safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs or vaccines, respond to outbreaks of infectious disease such as measles, and act independently of outside interests. Nearly 60% of adults say they have at least a fair amount of trust in the CDC or the FDA to offer reliable information about vaccines, although responses have shifted along party lines since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Compared with September 2023, fewer Democrats and more Republicans now say they trust those agencies. Routine vaccinations like those for measles, the flu and pneumonia are considered safe by most respondents, but they're divided along party lines when it comes to the safety of Covid-19 vaccines and mRNA vaccine technology. Health care providers are the most trusted source of reliable vaccine information in the new poll, followed by local health departments, federal health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump.
