特朗普暂停对加拿大商品50%关税三天

. ♪ AMNA: IN THE DAY'S OTHER HEADLINES -- U.S. AND CANADIAN OFFICIALS ARE EXPRESSING CONFIDENCE THEY CAN REACH A FINAL TRADE DEAL AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP PAUSED TARIFFS ON SOME CANADIAN GOODS.

I AM VERY CONFIDENT IN THESE DISCUSSIONS. AMNA: CANADA'S MINISTER FOR U.S. TRADE JOINED TRADE REPRESENTATIVE JAMIESON GREER FOR TALKS IN WASHINGTON TODAY. THE TARIFFS WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE EFFECT AFTER MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT, BUT JUST BEFORE THE DEADLINE, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT HE WAS PAUSING THE 50% TARIFFS "FOR A THREE-DAY PERIOD." SPEAKING TO REPORTERS AT THE SITE OF A NEW WHITE HOUSE HELIPAD TODAY, TRUMP IMPLIED THAT THE DEAL IS NEARLY DONE, CALLING IT QUOTE, "VERY FAIR."

PRES. TRUMP: IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. BUT OUR FARMERS ARE GOING TO BE THRILLED. OUR MANUFACTURERS ARE GOING BE THRILLED, AND BASICALLY, WE HAVE NO TARIFFS GOING INTO CANADA ANYMORE. CANADA WAS CHARGING US TREMENDOUS TARIFFS. WE NO LONGER HAVE ANY TARIFFS. AMNA: FOR HIS PART, PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY CONGRATULATED THE NEGOTIATIONS AND SAID THE TWO SIDES ARE "MOVING TOWARDS AN AGREEMENT." THE ISRAELI MILITARY IS OPENING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO TWO HIGH-PROFILE KILLINGS BY ITS TROOPS IN GAZA.

THE DEATHS OF 5-YEAR-OLD HIND RAJAB AND HER FAMILY IN 2024, AS WELL AS THE FATAL SHOOTING OF 15 PALESTINIAN MEDICAL WORKERS THE FOLLOWING YEAR, CAUSED INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE. THE CASES WERE AMONG 150 INCIDENTS REVIEWED BY THE MILITARY. MEANTIME -- LOCAL PALESTINIAN OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN TWO STRIKES IN GAZA TODAY. ISRAEL SAYS IT WAS TARGETING HAMAS COMMANDERS. A RELATIVE OF ONE OF THOSE KILLED TODAY CALLED FOR AN END TO SUCH ATTACKS.

MOHAMMED AL-TIMSAH: EVERY DAY THEY ANNOUNCE A CEASEFIRE. THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE. WE ARE EXHAUSTED. EVERY DAY IS ALWAYS WORSE THAN THE DAY BEFORE. WOMEN, ELDERLY, CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BECOME SCATTERED BODY PARTS. END THIS MISERY FOR US. AMNA: FOLLOWING TODAY'S STRIKES, A HAMAS OFFICIAL ACCUSED THE U.S.-BACKED BOARD OF PEACE OF PROVIDING, AS HE PUT IT, "COVER" FOR ISRAELI ATTACKS. THE BOARD WAS FORMALLY ESTABLISHED EARLIER THIS YEAR TO OVERSEE THE CEASEFIRE AND RECONSTRUCTION OF GAZA AND OTHER CONFLICTS.

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES SAYS IT IS HALTING ALL TRADE WITH IRAN -- A DAY AFTER IT ACCUSED TEHRAN OF LAUNCHING MISSILES TOWARD ITS TERRITORY. THE ACTION FURTHER ISOLATES THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC, WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING UNDER U.S. SANCTIONS AND A BLOCKADE. IRAN DENIES THE ATTACK. MEANTIME, IRANIAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER MOHAMMAD BAGHER GHALIBAF ARRIVED IN IRAQ TODAY FOR A THREE-DAY VISIT, AS IRAQ SEEKS SPECIAL STATUS FOR ITS OIL EXPORTS THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

THE COUNTRY RELIES ON OIL FOR ABOUT 90% OF ITS BUDGET WITH MOST EXPORTS NORMALLY PASSING THROUGH THE STRAIT. UKRAINE'S PRESIDENT VLODYMYR ZELENSKYY FIRED ONE OF HIS MOST SENIOR OFFICIALS TODAY AMID A CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION. THE DISMISSAL OF IRYNA MUDRA AS DEPUTY HEAD OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT IS JUST THE LATEST POLITICAL CHALLENGE FOR ZELENSKY, THOUGH HE'S N
