Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is your 24-7 News Update. The latest news this
hour in just four minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Canada's new tariffs on billions of dollars in American goods
are now in effect. We get more from Scott Carr.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
The tariffs range from 15% to 50%, covering more than
$ 27 billion in U.S. imports. They target products including steel, dairy, appliances,
farm equipment, electronics, and paper products. Canadian officials say it's
in response to the 50% duties imposed by President Trump
on Canadian goods. This has tensions between President Trump and
(00:37):
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney continue to rise, and with
trade talks stalled. In Washington, I'm Scott Carr.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says current mayor
Zoran Mamdami should skip this week's 9-11 remembrance ceremony. Giuliani
said in an interview with Newsmax that he has offended
Mamdami's coming, saying that the current mayor doesn't agree that
September the 11th was an Islamic terrorist attack on the
United States of America. A petition circulated by some 9-11
(01:05):
families urging Mamdami to reconsider has drawn 100,000 signatures. The
NTSB has recovered the flight data and audio recorders from
the deadly plane crash at Miami International Airport. Speaking Monday
from Miami, NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said her agency is
determined to get to the bottom of what happened.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
We are deeply, deeply committed to our duty, our responsibilities
to determine how this accident occurred, why it happened.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The aftermath of Sunday's deadly crash of an Amazon cargo
plane will continue to be felt at Miami International Airport today.
Almost 600 flights were canceled or delayed yesterday, and two
of the airport's four runways are still closed. Five people
were killed and several others were seriously injured. And a
shortage of estrogen patches used to treat symptoms of menopause
has got the government's attention. The Food and Drug Administration
(01:58):
says it is aware of reports of patients having difficulty
accessing the patches, and it's working with manufacturers to increase supply.
I'm Mark Mayfield. A New York City firefighter has died
of World Trade Center-related illness just days before the 25th
anniversary of the 9-11 terror attacks. Tammy Trujillo has details.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Retired FDNY Lieutenant Gerald Riley of Ladder 22 died last Thursday.
The Uniformed Firefighters Association says Riley was a devoted husband, father,
and grandfather and showed unwavering dedication during rescue and recovery
operations at Ground Zero. He died at the age of 75.
The Never Forget Project says that 343 firefighters were killed
(02:37):
on 9-11. Over 100 have died of World Trade Center-related
injuries or illness, and thousands more are now sick. I'm
Tammy Trujillo.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Hunter Biden says he's launching a new meme coin called Laptop,
a nod to the long-running political controversy surrounding his personal laptop.
The debut, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was
teased with a video montage of news clips and political
commentary referencing the device. The token will launch Wednesday. Meme
coins carry no intrinsic value but often spike to a
(03:06):
social media buzz. Similar coins, promoted by President Trump and
First Lady Melania Trump, surged briefly before collapsing. Governor Gavin
Newsom and President Trump are in agreement on one thing.
Daniel Martindale explains.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Newsom is encouraging parents to open Trump accounts for their kids,
calling it one of the best things the president has done.
Newsom says he's enthusiastic about the tax-advantaged investment savings accounts.
In 2022, Newsom launched the somewhat similar California Kids Investment
and Development Savings Program, which seeds accounts for children. While
Trump's program is broader, Cal Kids funds can be used
only for college and career training. Parents have been able
(03:41):
to open the Trump account since July 4th. They set
aside money in an investment account for a person under
18 with a valid social security number. I'm Daniel Martindale.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And Northwest's first headline solo concert is in the books.
The 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West headlined
a show at the Vic Theater in Chicago on Saturday
after a tour with rapper Molly Santana was canceled in August.
