Trump's Ban on Canadian Whisky Sparks Outrage Across the Border New

Trump's Ban on Canadian Whisky Sparks Outrage Across the Border

It’s a last call on Crown Royal.President Trump has upped the ante on the ongoing tariff saga, this time issuing a full ban on certain Canadian products. The president signed several proclamations restricting most alcohol coming in from the neighboring country.This means Americans will no longer sip on the following Canadian favorites: malt beer, sparkling wine, vermouth and cider. Additionally, some spirits like bourbon, rum, gin, vodka and tequila are also outlawed.Crown Royal — the high-end, Canadian whiskey — is also on the banned list. Trump has issued a ban on a slew of Canadian alcohol Getty ImagesIn a press release, the White House described the move as necessary to “better serve the public interest.” The ban will take effect on September 29, so products sitting on store shelves will likely still be there until all are sold.But the new rules don’t stop at alcohol — Trump also added bans on nonalcoholic beer, whey protein concentrates, molasses, certain dairy-related products and larger-capacity motorcycles.In addition to the ban, the president added another set of 50% tariffs on iron or steel pillars, posts, beams, girders, aluminum bars, rods, tubes, and pipes. Mattresses, electric lamps, motorboats and even golf carts made it on the list.The administration issued the sweeping levies following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s retaliatory tariffs that went into effect yesterday. Canada’s counter-tariffs were announced two weeks ago after the trade war with the US reached a standstill. Canada and the US have been in a trade war for nearly 18 months AFP via Getty ImagesCarney said the tariffs will range between 15%, 25% and 50%, with the rate for each product matching the US dollar-for-dollar.Items facing 50% tariffs will include products like American milk, perfume, golf clubs, steel, aluminum, jackets and T-shirts.Products subject to 25% tariffs are cheese, carpets, certain household appliances like stoves and air conditioners, while forklifts and some industrial molds will face 15% tariffs.This new move by Trump means the US has essentially put retaliatory tariffs on top of Canada’s retaliatory tariffs.If you’re having trouble keeping up — that’s because it’s confusing.Canadian whisky is now banned from the United States ETHAN CAIRNS/The Canadian Press via APCanada’s tariffs were added after the US put levies on items like Canadian milk, hockey sticks, alcohol, plywood and other goods. And just last month, negotiations collapsed, further intensifying the 18-month-old trade war.Days before the tariffs were announced, the Prime Minister said Canada was “at war” with the US. “We were attacked. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” Carney told reporters on August 22. “That’s fine. We’ve got the reserves. We’ve got the resilience. We’ve got the plan. We’ve got the focus. We will respond.”Trump took to Truth Social yesterday, blasting the once-friendly neighbor and claiming it “has been ripping us off for years.” The president urged Canada to restore “full and fair reciprocity for American Farmers and Companies.”Until then, Americans might want to try a Kentucky classic — Woodford Reserve.

Terzić otkriva šta se krije iza 'tužnog' prijema odbojkašica kod Vučića New

Terzić otkriva šta se krije iza 'tužnog' prijema odbojkašica kod Vučića

AA/ABACA / Abaca Press / Profimedia autor: 09. sep. 2026. 22:03 > 09. sep. 2026. 22:32 Zoran Terzić, selektor ženske odbojkaške reprezentacije Srbije, pričao je o odnosu države prema sportu, ali i prijemu kod predsednika Aleksandra Vučića. Oglas Naše odbojkašice su osvojile bronzanu medalju na Evropskom prvenstvu, a nekoliko dana nakon tog uspeha organizovan im je prijem kod predsednika Srbije.Svi su primetili da odbojkašice nisu aplaudirale Vučiću nakon govora, a na licima im se videlo da nisu srećne u tim trenucima.Terzić je upitan upravo o tom "tužnom" prijemu kod predsednika, pa je izneo svoje mišljenje, iako bi posle njegovih reči lepo bilo čuti i šta misle naše odbojkašice."Ja sam se osećao loše. Odmah ću da vam kažem zašto. Moje igračice, videlo se to po izrazima lica, da nisu bile srećne što su tamo. Da je jedna od njih došla i rekla: 'Ja neću da idem tamo, ja hoću da vratim ovaj novac što dobijamo za treće mesto i neću da idem tamo'. Ja bih rekao: 'Svaka čast, doći da te poljubim'. Stav, okej, ništa sporno nije. Idemo svi, ali ćemo malo da budemo tužne. Ja vam garantujem, ne mogu 100 odsto da tvrdim, ali 99% sam ubeđen, da je ogromna većina njih bila takva, ne zbog svojih ubeđenja, dajte kakva ubeđenja, nego zbog straha da će neko da im kaže ovo ili ono. Sto posto, sto posto", rekao je Terzić na televiziji "Insajder".Pričao je o državnom ulaganju u sport, iako treba da se zna da nije sve u novcu. "Da vam kažem nešto, prvo ulaganje, čije ulaganje? Države, dobro. Hajde da budemo transparentni i pričamo kako jeste, pošteno. Država nikad više para davala u sport, nego sad. Iskreno govoreći. Ja sam antipolitički, ne želim o tome da pričam, kao politika 'ovaj je dobar, ovaj je loš'... To mene ne interesuje. Hiljadu stvari ima kod ovih na vlasti koje mi se ne sviđaju. Ništa sporno nije. Sport - ne može da im se prigovori ništa. Vezano za finansiranje. O tome pričam", istakao je Terzić.Nastavio je u istom tonu."Mi dobijamo Odbojkaški centar. Znate li šta to znači? Znate li ko ima to u svetu? Nema, par zemalja možda. Takav pogotovo. To će da bude čudo, kao svemirski brod. Ima ulaganja. Opet ponavljam, politika i to, ne interesuje me. Niti sam ikad bio za ove ili protiv ovih. Ali, ono što jeste - jeste. To što nema dece, ja mislim da je to zbog toga što nemamo trenere, to je najveći problem. To da regulišemo škole odbojke zakonski, mislim da je nemoguće. Kako?", pita se naš selektor.Naše zlatne, bronzane odbojkašice! 👏👏👏Ispoštovale protokol, svoj savez, instituciju, šta god, ali nisu ispoštovale nekog ko ne poštuje narod i mladost ove zemlje.pic.twitter.com/379UNzp5UD— Zbor Braće Jerković 🇷🇸 (@ZborJerkovic) September 8, 2026Očekivao je politička "peckanja" u emisiji, ali mu ona i nisu bila potrebna da bi nastavio ovu priču. "Ja znam da me verovatno niste zbog toga pozvali u emisiju, ali s obzirom da znam vašu televiziju, mislio sam da će biti malo peckanja, vezano za politiku i baš sam se obradovao tome. Da pričamo o tome i šta valja i šta ne valja, pošto na našim televizijama možete da čujete 'ili-ili'. Baš bih voleo da popričamo tako, da vidite da nije sve crno ni sve belo. Ni kod jednih ni kod drugih."Voditelj mu je rekao da kaže šta mu leži na duši."Imam mnogo toga, nego ne može vaša emisija toliko da traje (smeh). Imam vezano za tu priču, to me izluđuje. To me ne nervira, nego plaši. Podele... To me strašno plaši. Srbija je podeljena na dva tabora. Ne možeš da budeš sad ni sportista, ni glumac, niti bilo šta. Moraš da budeš ili blokader ili kako se već zove, ili ćaći, ako sam dobro povezao. Ne možeš da budeš između ništa. Čekajte, bre, ljudi, ne ide tako. Definitivno nije dobro."Pomenuo je i vređanje Novaka Đokovića, koje je bilo u režiji istaknute režimske televizije i njenog glavnog čoveka."Ja kažem i za jednu i za drugu stranu. Reći, ja stvarno ne znam ko je to rekao, rekli su mi, ali sam zaboravio. Nije ni važno. Reći da je Novak Đoković propali teniser... Ja bih ga... Hajde, da ne lajem. Ima i dobro i loše, to je i normalno. Ko je idealan?", opet se pita Terzić.Istakao je koliko poštuje instituciju predsednika, mada treba razmišljati i o tome kako se predsednici ophode prema narodu."Hvala Bogu trener sam reprezentacije predugo. Izmenjao sam ih koliko hoćete (vlasti). I kod Borisa Tadića i kod Tome Nikolića, kod njega sam i na inauguraciji bio, kod Aleksandra Vučića, samo kod Slobe nisam bio hvala Bogu. Čekajte, šta sad? Kad odem kod predsednika i napravim facu, onda sam heroj, a kad odem pa se nasmejem i dam mu medalju, kao što je to bio slučaj 2018, što je sasvim normalno, ideš kod predsednika države... Ne ideš kod Pere, Mike, Laze... Ideš kod predsednika države. Poštuje se institucija predsednika države, to je najnormalnija stvar. Čekajte, šta? Mene je jedan baš dobar drugar iz odbojke zvao: 'Čekaj, što se one bune, dobiju nagrade posle dva dana. Ja sam moju čekao šest godina - od 2011. do 2017.' Sad je tako i mnogo teško. Mnogo manje ima veze sa medaljama i sportom."Uputio je i kritiku za vlast, koju ne idealizuje, mada nije želeo da mnogo ulazi u analize njenih grešaka."Daleko je od toga da je vlast idealna. Meni lično ima mnogo stvari koje mi se ne sviđaju. Ako pričamo o onome što znam, a to je sport, nikad više novca u sportu. Odbojka živi kao nikad. Ja to moram da kažem. Odakle taj novac, da li je ukradeno, kako kažu, ja u to ne ulazim. Ja to i ne znam i ne bih želeo o tome da pričam", podvukao je Terzić.Podsetimo, na sednici Vlade Srbije doneta je odluka da reprezentativke Srbije i selektor Terzić budu nagrađeni sa po 10.000 evra.Terzić je tokom gostovanja na "Insajderu" pričao i o uspesima reprezentacije koju vodi, kontinuitetu medalja, porazu od Turske u polufinalu EP, borbi za bronzu sa Poljskom, dizanju ekipe na mentalnom planu, poklanjanju medalja, mladim odbojkašicama i uticaju na njihov razvoj, odbojci i sportu u Srbiji, želji da se igra za nacionalni tim...Celo gostovanje Terzića na "Insajderu" pogledajte i poslušajte u videu ispod.

Trump's Jet Drama: Emergency Slide Mishap Delays RNC Departure New

Trump's Jet Drama: Emergency Slide Mishap Delays RNC Departure

President Trump’s departure to the Republican midterm convention was delayed as his Qatari-gifted jet was dealing with a problem with its emergency slide, raising concern about the cause of the delay.The president sat in Marine One on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews for about 20 minutes while the slide was deployed from the new blue, red, white and gold jet and stayed out, extending from the plane to the tarmac.Confusing matters, the older blue and white 747 that serves as Air Force One rolled up and stopped a couple hundred meters behind the Qatar-gifted plane. The old Air Force One then deployed its front and rear steps.U.S. President Donald Trump boarding Qatari-made Air Force One for a trip to the Republican National Midterm Convention on Wednesday. REUTERSTrump downplayed the matter. When he finally exited his helicopter he told reporters at JBA that staff were just testing the slide.“They were doing a check on the slide, you know, the emergency. So I think it takes about 15 minutes,” he said.President Trump’s departure to the Republican midterm convention was delayed as his Qatari-gifted jet was dealing with a problem with its emergency slide, raising concern about the cause of the delay.

Trump boarded the plane for his trip to Dallas and took off without any issues. The emergency slide of Air Force One is deployed ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trip to the Republican National Midterm Convention on September 9, 2026, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. REUTERSIn August, the president, when departing a NATO meeting in Turkey, slipped off of his new plane via a catering truck to board a different military aircraft for the departure. Reporters traveling with him were unaware of the bait-and-switch.The slide was deployed from the right-hand-side door of the Qatari plane, opposite the left-hand-side door that Trump normally enters. That right-hand door was the one in Turkey that the president slipped out of amid a threat from Iran.Trump, however, expressed his confidence in the new plane despite the fact it doesn’t have some of the anti-defense measures as the older Air Force One.“Yeah I am,” he responded when asked if he was sure it was safe. “Or I wouldn’t be on it.”It’s unclear why the slide was deployed. Typically, on a commercial airliner, it can take up to two days to repack the slide and fit it back into its storage area. The plane then usually has to undergo an inspection before it can fly again.Air Force staff did get the slide deflated and removed it, carrying it away from the plane so it could take off. The White House referred The Post to the president’s comments when asked why the test was conducted and if the older Air Force One was brought out in case it was needed to transport Trump.Trump has said he new plane will go out of service for a month or two later this year for security enhancements. He plans to take it to Ireland this weekend for a short trip to the Emerald Isle.

KJ Biermann's Legal Move: The Detail Everyone's Talking About

Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son, Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr., is asking to be transferred to juvenile court after being indicted on seven felony charges in his sexual assault case, Page Six can exclusively reveal.The teen’s legal team filed a motion to “transfer to juvenile court and for confidentiality proceedings” on Tuesday, according to the Fulton County Court.The move signals that KJ’s attorneys are asking the Superior Court to transfer his case to Georgia’s juvenile justice system, where he would no longer be prosecuted as an adult and could face less severe consequences if convicted.Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son Kroy “KJ” Biermann (seen here with his mom) is asking to be tranferred to juvenile court in his sexual assault case, Page Six can exclusively reveal. kimzolciakbiermann/InstagramKJ (seen here with Zolciak) and his team of lawyers filed the motion on Tuesday, the docket shows. kimzolciakbiermann/InstagramKJ’s lawyer, Jason Sheffield, told Page Six ON Tuesday that they expect to “enter a not guilty plea to all charges” at the arraignment hearing on Oct. 14, and that they planned on filing the motion so he could be “tried as a juvenile.”“It is difficult to comprehend that a 14- or 15-year-old child can be held in detention for a month or longer simply waiting for a bond hearing,” Sheffield told Page Six in a statement. “But that detention is a direct consequence of the detective’s decision to arrest him on charges of this magnitude.”Last week, KJ was indicted by a Georgia grand jury on seven felony charges: aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16 and false imprisonment.The teen (seen here with his mom) was indicted on seven felony charges. kimzolciakbiermann/InstagramKJ (seen here in his mugshot) was arrested on Aug. 19 for aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.

KJ allegedly made “multiple” attempts to have “sexual intercourse with her by trying to pull down her pants,” the court documents stated.

University of Iowa Mourns Tragic Loss of Beloved Band Member New

University of Iowa Mourns Tragic Loss of Beloved Band Member

A member of the University of Iowa marching band has died after suffering heat stroke during the Hawkeyes’ season-opening win over Northern Illinois University last weekend. Derek Phillips, a junior from Dubuque, Iowa, collapsed during the game on Saturday, September 5, shortly before the band was set to perform its halftime show. Temperatures in Iowa City reached 94 degrees that day as the university adjusted several athletics start times to account for the heat. Phillips was taken to University of Iowa hospital, where his family made the decision to take him off life support on Tuesday, September 8. “Derek brought so much light, humor and kindness into this world,” his family said in a statement announcing his death. “He was a phenomenal musician — whether he was playing jazz ,singing his heart out, or marching under the lights, music was the language of his soul. He just had the absolute summer of his life touring in drum and bugle corps. We are so grateful for that experience.” Iowa marching band director Eric Bush and School of Music director Tammie Walker released a joint statement on Tuesday, sharing their condolences, thanking medical personnel and offering counseling to students. “Derek Phillips was our mellophone section leader, a beloved member of the School of Music horn studio, and the kind of friend, student, and musician that represents the very best of what it means to be a Hawkeye,” the statement read. The statement continued, “Losing a HMB family member is one of the most difficult tragedies we will experience. We are grateful to his parents, Sara and Brian, for providing regular updates throughout the weekend to HMB staff and the students who love him. We will continue to walk the journey together, and we will continue to provide support and resources to our students to ensure they are getting the care they need. The Hawkeye Marching Band and the School of Music are strong and resilient because of the people within.” Bush and Walker also emphasized in their statement that “there is nothing more important than the safety of our students.” “Their well-being is always at the top of my mind,” they said. “We are teaching them more than music and marching — and we are a family. I told the band on Saturday, when we gathered after we departed from Kinnick Stadium, ‘As a parent, the care I have for my own son extends to every single marching Hawkeye.’” The band announced during the game that it would skip its halftime performance, but did not mention a medical emergency. "The health and safety of our students, staff, and fans are our top priority,” the band posted via X. “Due to the heat, HMB will forgo our halftime performance today."

Tía de Loan revela impactante detalle sobre su desaparición New

Tía de Loan revela impactante detalle sobre su desaparición

Laudelina Peña, tía del niño Loan Danilo Peña del que no se sabe nada desde el pasado jueves 13 de junio de 2024 en Corrientes, Argentina, rompió el silencio sobre un detalle que había guardado de la última vez que el menor de entonces 5 años de edad fue visto en un almuerzo familiar.El caso de la desaparición de Loan Danilo Peña llegó hasta el Vaticano donde el Papa Francisco atendió una carta que los padres de Loan, María Noguera y José Peña, escribieron al sumo pontífice en noviembre de 2024, en respuesta el máximo representante de la iglesia católica expresó:“Y una de las hipótesis, es que (a Loan) se lo llevaron para extraerle los órganos, para hacer trasplantes. Y esto se hace. Ustedes lo saben. Esto se hace. Algunos vuelven con una cicatriz, otros mueren. Es por eso que me gustaría recordar hoy a este chico Loan”, acotó el pontífice argentino.¿De qué habló por primera vez la tía del niño Loan sobre su desaparición?Laudelinan Peña quien es investigada por presuntamente haber participado para que los invitados al almuerzo familiar en casa de la abuela de Loan, el ex militar Carlos Pérez y su esposa María Victoria Caillava (exfuncionaria municipal encargada de adopciones) se lo llevaran con ayuda del entonces jefe de policía Walter Maciel.Durante el juicio en contra de los implicados en la desaparición del niño Loan, Laudelina ha sido pieza clave ya que fue la primera persona en brindar una extensa reconstrucción de la última vez que su sobrino fue visto. Antes de declarar pidió al juez que el resto de los acusados salieran para decir: “Pido perdón y disculpas por las mentiras”: Laudelina Peña, tía del niño Loan. Laudelina Peña negó la versión de que Loan Danilo Peña había sido atropellado de manera accidental, y para evitar consecuencias legales, decidieron ocultarlo. Acusó a su otrora abogado José Fernández Codazzi de haberla orillado a contar esa historia.En ese sentido, Laudelina dijo que el jurisconsulto le explicó cómo debía declarar e incluso la habría grabado para trabajar en los detalles. Al respecto, su actual defensora, Mónica Chirivín, había anticipado en la audiencia que su clienta pretendía “decir su verdad”, dijo citada por medios locales.

Jerry Sandusky's Shocking Claims Resurface Amid Frail Court Appearance New

Jerry Sandusky's Shocking Claims Resurface Amid Frail Court Appearance

Convicted sex offender and former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky made his first public appearance in more than seven years as he seeks a new trial. “He’s got heart issues. He’s delayed a heart surgery. He’s 82 years of age, you saw him if you were in the courtroom,” Sandusky’s attorney, Jerry Russo, told reporters outside a Pennsylvania courthouse after the former coach’s hearing on Tuesday, September 8. “He’s feeble and frail.” Sandusky appeared via Zoom for the evidentiary hearing concerning the testimony of one of his accusers in the 2012 trial that resulted in him being convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse. The accuser, referred to as Victim 10, now claims prosecutors tried to steer his testimony at the time, according to a sworn affidavit obtained by ABC News in August. Sandusky was an assistant coach for the Nittany Lions under head coach Joe Paterno from 1969 to 1999, and he continued to host his summer camps and was around the program well after his retirement. He was ultimately sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison after being accused of sexually abusing 10 boys from 1994 to 2009, though more than 30 alleged victims have come forward. Asked about Sandusky’s demeanor during his hearing, Russo told reporters he was, “Prayerful.” Sandusky wore a brown button-down shirt and often slouched during the hearing, according to The Athletic. He sounded “shaky and diffident” and appeared “visibly gaunt” with less hair than he had in his last public appearance, which came in 2019. Victim 10 swore in the affidavit that he did not have a clear memory of being molested but that prosecutors "repeatedly encouraged me to believe that Mr. Sandusky had molested me — despite my lack of clear or certain memory of any such conduct." Sandusky, who has been serving his sentence at Laurel Highlands State Correctional Institute in Somerset, Pennsylvania, has maintained his innocence. "If you believe Jerry Sandusky was fairly treated by the court, then you're not going to hear what I have to say,” Russo? said. Russo also told ESPN, "Read the record and you will understand why I believe he's innocent. That's why I took this case." Sandusky did not speak publicly about the case on Tuesday, but told the Daily Mail in 2024 that he has “never ever in my life ever thought about molesting anybody.” “I was accused of heinous crimes, which I’ve never committed,” he said. “My wife was my only partner in sex, and that was after marriage.” Sandusky also said he believes he was “wrongfully convicted by inconsistent, perjured testimony,” and that his alleged victims were “incentivized by money” and “coached and led” to lie.
