🎧 Carney won his election running with an anti-Trump message, and the Canadian election was seen as a vote against Trump, NPR’s Deepa Shivaram tells Up First. It is typical for new Canadian prime ministers to make the U.S. their first foreign trip. However, Carney decided to go to Europe. Asa McKercher, a professor of public policy at St. Francis Xavier University, says Carney has to balance standing up for Canada and not irking Trump. Carney told Canadian media a few days ago not to expect “white smoke” out of the meeting with Trump on a new trade deal.

🎧 The move to toss out the case is a bit surprising, NPR’s Selena Simmons-Duffin says, because it's the same stance the Biden administration’s Justice Department took. U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who tends to be receptive to anti-abortion arguments, is presiding over the case and might continue regardless of the Justice Department request. The Trump administration’s FDA could still be aggressive on medication abortion by adding restrictions on who can get it and how, without being required by the court. 

🎧 The announcement raised questions about who would pay for the tariffs and if ticket prices would increase, among other concerns. “Studios and unions around the world are worried this could spell the end of their own production industries,” Mandelit del Barco says. She explains that actor Jon Voight could be why this topic came up for the president. Trump calls Voight a special ambassador. He and two of his business associates met with the president about the entertainment industry this weekend. Voight says he presented Trump with a plan to rescue the American film industry with federal tax incentives, coproduction treaties with other countries and subsidies for theater owners and production companies.
