The White House says the United States is banning dairy products, most alcoholic beverages and  some motorcycles from Canada, as the trade war between the two nations escalates. The ban will take effect in three weeks, on Sept. 29, and comes after retaliatory tariffs promised by Canada took effect earlier Tuesday on $20 billion in U.S. imports. A senior official in the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump said Trump signed paperwork Tuesday outlining his justification for the ban. The documents were posted on the White House's website.

Canada struck back at U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday with tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, in response to his latest round of tariffs on Canada. The outcome could resonate far beyond both countries as a test of how a smaller U.S. ally can withstand Trump’s economic pressure. Republicans are descending on Dallas for Trump's two-day convention to rally supporters for this year’s elections. And a new Gallup poll shows a new low for satisfaction with the quality of K-12 education in the United States. Less than a third of adults say they are completely or even “somewhat” satisfied with schooling in America.

A government report finds that the U.S. Secret Service faced several drone-related incidents without updating its protection policies or documenting reasons it didn't. That missing information may have helped illustrate the emerging threat of civilian drones before one was used in a 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The report, released Thursday, found gaps in how the Secret Service updates its policies. Between 2015 and 2025, the agency dealt with 83 security incidents, updating policies after 25 of them. The Department of Homeland Security agrees with the report's recommendations.
