Canadian tariffs, Trump poll, Disney v FCC and Qusra

Reuters World News 

Hi, I'm Kim Vanell in Whanganui, New Zealand. It's Wednesday, August 19th. Today, Canada lands an 11th hour reprieve, dodging new 50% import tariffs. A new poll shows a majority of Americans think Trump and his family are cashing in on the presidency. A stunning upset in Florida's Democratic primary.

And a Palestinian-American from Ohio flies to the West Bank to stand along his besieged family. This is Reuters World News, bringing you everything you need to know from the front lines in 10 minutes, seven days a week.

A last minute reprieve in the US-Canada trade war. President Trump is pausing new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods for three days, just hours before they were set to kick in at midnight, saying the two countries have a deal. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney striking a more cautious tone, saying substantial progress has been made but that work still remains.

The tariffs would have hit around $20 billion worth of imports, with sectors like lumber, dairy and wine particularly exposed. The two leaders spoke on Thursday, their second call this week, with negotiators locked in weeks of intense calls. On the table, auto tariff cuts, market access and a surprise Trump's suggestion that the Keystone XL pipeline could be revived.

As economic relations between the US and Canada chill, global bond markets are reaching new highs as fiscal deficits balloon. US 30-year Treasury yields reached levels last seen in 2007 on Tuesday, as the Federal Reserve grapples with inflation above its 2% target, and the Middle East conflict sends oil prices higher. And it's not just in the US.
