The United States was scheduled to impose new 50 percent tariffs on Canada, hitting about $20 billion worth of goods.
But then, about a week ago, President Trump took to Truth Social to exclaim — with capital letters and exclamation points — that Canada and the U.S. had reached a trade deal.
That deal, it turned out, was not final. Three days later, Canada walked away from the negotiating table.
Trump then imposed the new tariffs he’d originally promised on many Canadian products. And to threaten even more tariffs on Canadian autos.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canada won’t back down — and promised to match U.S. tariffs quote “dollar for dollar.”
But what’s the view from inside his country, and who is going to pay the price?

NPR Privacy PolicySat, 22 Aug 2026 - 2367 - The value of community living for people with disabilities
Cody and Kaleigh Brendle grew up just inland of the Jersey Shore. The siblings, who both have disabilities, came of age knowing it is their right to live, learn and work in their community.
Not long ago, millions of people like them could have been segregated in institutions. Then in 1999, in a case known as Olmstead, the Supreme Court ruled states must serve adults with disabilities in their communities when possible. Now, the Trump administration is trying to reverse course.
NPR’s Jonaki Mehta spent time with the Brendles, who share what it means to live as disabled people integrated in their community.

NPR Privacy PolicyTue, 18 Aug 2026 - 2363 - The questions Jason Arday's life and death raise for academia
Sociology professor Jason Arday was lauded as the youngest-ever Black professor appointed at the University of Cambridge in 2023. But since landing that position, he’d been, according to his family, “subjected to a campaign of sustained abuse,” stemming from scrutiny about his work and record.
Arday faced growing accusations of plagiarism and fraud, was found dead in London on August 14th, just days after he resigned from Cambridge.
His death is raising new questions about how fairly Black academics are elevated and criticized in comparison to their peers. In this episode, we explore those questions with University of Southern California Professor Shaun Harper, whose research focuses on race, gender, and equity in education and other spheres.

NPR Privacy PolicyWed, 12 Aug 2026 - 2358 - The elaborate ruse used to conceal Trump's whereabouts
The scene of President Trump boarding Air Force One after last month’s NATO summit in Turkey is one that TV cameras and photographers have captured countless times.
What happened in the moments after that was far from routine, according to exclusive reporting from the Washington Post.
The Post reports that Trump was shuttled in an airport catering truck to a smaller military plane in which he then secretly departed, even as the White House announced he was flying aboard Air Force One.
The operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat, a U.S. official familiar with the operation told the Post.
We should note that NPR has not independently confirmed this reporting.
New information about how the White House handled the president’s security is raising questions about safety and transparency.
