Canada Fights to Avert New U.S. Tariffs on $20B of Exports

Canada is rushing to strike a deal with the U.S. to avert up to $20 billion in new tariffs on Canadian exports under Section 338, with negotiators in Washington ahead of a Wednesday deadline; the affected goods include hockey sticks, clothing, wines, dairy and building materials like cement and plywood, while energy and some minerals are exempt. Ottawa says the measures violate the USMCA, while Washington argues they address discriminatory Canadian policies, and a deal — if reached — could still pass higher prices onto consumers in both countries as inflation pressures persist.

Possible US-Iran Deal to Open Hormuz This Week, Bessent Says

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that the US and Iran could reach a deal this week to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for free passage of commercial ships, with Tuesday or Wednesday as possibilities. President Trump paused a major attack to allow talks, and a June 17 memorandum of understanding laid groundwork, though past negotiations collapsed over routing disputes; if a deal is reached, energy markets could stabilize as blocked vessels resume transit.

Trump signals imminent Iran talks as Tehran rejects hosting delegates

Trump said new negotiations with Iran would begin soon after canceling planned strikes, but Iran stated it would not host a delegation, suggesting any talks may be indirect via mediators like Oman, Qatar or Pakistan. Focus appears to be on the Strait of Hormuz, with analysts skeptical about a broader nuclear deal; Iran is also engaging Oman on Hormuz. Oil prices fell after the pause in attacks, and the US maintains it is ready to act if needed.

Trump frames Iran talks amid a pause in fighting, but Tehran denies direct talks

President Trump said there are “very friendly negotiations” with Iran taking place during a pause in U.S. strikes, with Tehran denying direct talks and mediators seeking to extend dialogue. The halt ends nearly two weeks of tit-for-tat attacks, oil prices briefly fell on hopes of de-escalation, and Trump warned that Washington could resume its previous military actions if negotiations fail; the broader conflict has included strikes against targets in the Gulf region and along the Strait of Hormuz.

MLB rights could auto-extend if lockout drags on, risking a season of higher fees

MLB’s national media deals include a provision that could push rights beyond 2028 for an extra year if a lockout causes enough games to be missed, potentially costing the league a full season of higher media revenue; networks would continue payments during the lockout and be reimbursed afterward, giving negotiators leverage as both sides weigh the consequences of delaying higher rights fees.
