Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jeanine Herbst. President Trump wants to impose fifty percent tariffs on an array of Canadian goods. It's both retaliation for Canada itself retaliating against US tariffs. It's also part of an attempt to re-impose tariffs after the US Supreme Court ruled many unlawful earlier this year. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more.

The new action by the White House constitutes a high tariff on goods from one of the US's biggest trading partners. The new fees are set to take effect in a month. The White House says Canada is among the only countries, along with China, to retaliate against US tariffs and that these latest levies are in response to the continued Canadian retaliation on goods like US liquor and automobiles. The new fifty percent fees apply to a variety of goods, including food and agriculture products and also some types of wood. However, there is still a month until they take effect, meaning there's still time to negotiate. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.

Arizona is the one state holding primaries today, giving a look into voter sentiment in a state where Republicans narrowly outnumber Democrats and independents. The GOP will try to flip the governor's office this fall, which Democrat Katie Hobbs won narrowly, while Democrats hope to pick up a couple of US House seats in the swing state. Cameron Sanchez from member station KJZZ has more.
