Trump-backed Van Epps, Democrat Behn win Tennessee special poll primaries

Matt Van Epps, a former commissioner in Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's administration, won a crowded Republican primary Tuesday in the special election to replace a GOP congressman who left office this summer. In the Democratic primary, state Rep Aftyn Behn won a four-way contest and will face Van Epps in the general election. Van Epps clinched the victory with an endorsement from President Donald Trump that came after in-person early voting ended. Eleven Republicans were on the ballot for the seat vacated by former US Rep Mark Green. Among them, two candidates, including state Rep Lee Reeves, suspended their campaigns after Trump weighed in, and they likewise endorsed Van Epps. Thank you to the people of Middle and West Tennessee! Our Donald J. Trump-endorsed campaign won in a landslide tonight, Van Epps said on social media. Now, on to December 2nd! We're going to win the general and keep this seat RED! The December 2 general election could gauge the popularity of Trump's aggressive .

Canadian PM Carney to meet Trump amid strained ties between longtime allies

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday at a time when one of the world's most durable and amicable alliances has been fractured by Trump's trade war and annexation threats. Carney's second visit to the White House comes ahead of a review next year of the free trade agreement, which is critical to Canada's economy. More than 77 per cent of Canada's exports go to the US. Trump's talk of making Canada the 51st state and his tariffs have Canadians feeling an undeniable sense of betrayal. Relations with Canada's southern neighbour and longtime ally haven't been worse. We've had ups and downs, but this is the lowest point in relations that I can recall, said Frank McKenna, a former Canadian ambassador to the United States and current deputy chairman of TD Bank. Canadians aren't being instructed what to do; they are simply voting with their feet," he said. "I talk every day to ordinary citizens who are changing their vacatio

Open to health care deal but government must reopen first, says Trump

President Donald Trump cracked the door slightly to negotiations with Democrats on the health care subsidies they've made central to the shutdown fight, then abruptly closed it Monday, leaving the two sides once again at a seemingly intractable impasse. Democrats are conditioning their support for a short-term funding patch on extending the health subsidies that lessen the cost of plans offered under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things, Trump told reporters. And I'm talking about good things with regard to health care. The comments were one of the few hopeful signs Monday as the government shutdown hit its sixth day. Negotiations between the two parties have been virtually nonexistent since the start of the shutdown despite the impact on federal services. But Trump later followed up those comments on his social media site to reinforce what GOP leaders in Congress

US to impose 25% tariffs on imported trucks from Nov 1, says Trump

President Donald Trump on Monday announced that his administration will impose 25 per cent tariffs on all medium and heavy-duty trucks coming into the US from other countries beginning next month. Trump, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, said, Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25%. The US trucking industry is a cornerstone of the national economy, moving roughly 73 per cent of all domestic freight, according to the American Trucking Associations, Fox Business reported. Around two million Americans work as heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers, with many more employed as mechanics and support staff, according to data provided by the US Chamber of Commerce. The top five import countries by customs value are Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany and Finland, it said.

Trump says US got $17 trn in new investments; real number likely lower

The economic boom promised by President Donald Trump centres on a single number: USD 17 trillion. That's the sum of new investments that Trump claims to have generated with his tariffs, income tax cuts and aggressive salesmanship of CEOs, financiers, tech titans, prime ministers, presidents and other rulers. The USD 17 trillion is supposed to fund new factories, new technologies, more jobs, higher incomes and faster economic growth. Under eight months of Trump, we've already secured commitments of USD 17 trillion coming in, the president said in a speech last month. There's never been any country that's done anything like that. But based on statements from various companies, foreign countries and the White House's own website, that figure appears to be exaggerated, highly speculative and far higher than the actual sum. The White House website lists total investments at USD 8.8 trillion, though that figure appears to be padded with some investment commitments made during Joe Biden's
