A senior official, speaking on background, told AFP the government is preparing for all eventualities, including possible retaliatory tariffs. A list of US items to target was already being put together, the official added. President-elect Trump announced the pending import tariffs against neighbors Canada and Mexico and also rival China in social media posts on Monday, demanding that the top three US economic partners stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the United States. Some have suggested the threat may be bluster, or an opening salvo in future trade negotiations. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected those views. "Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out," Trudeau told reporters in Prince Edward Island province. "There's no question about it." The Canadian leader spoke with Trump by telephone this week about trade and border security, describing it as a "good" conversation. On Friday he said he has impressed upon Trump "the need to work together to ensure prosperity on both sides of the border." He said it was important to further demonstrate that 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports would harm not just Canadians, but Americans too. "Ultimately, it is through lots of constructive conversations with President Trump that I'm going to have that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians," he said. In 2023, more than three-quarters of Canadian exports, or Can$592.7 billion ($423 billion), went to the United States. Nearly two million Canadian jobs are dependent on trade. Immediately following Trump's election, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland reassembled a group of ministers to manage Canada-US relations, as was done during Trump's first stint in the White House. They are tasked with preparing responses to US actions and lobbying US lawmakers and members of Trump's inner circle. During Trump's first term, when he imposed tariffs in 2018 on Canadian steel and aluminum, Canada responded tit-for-tat. However it chose to target US products for their political rather than economic impact, such as Florida orange juice and Kentucky bourbon -- both hailing from states led by Republicans.
Coastal Carolina 48, Georgia St. 27NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams appears open to switching parties to become a Republican, as he declined to rule out a future change in political allegiances during a pair of interviews Friday that came as he has increasing warmed to President-elect Donald Trump. The comments from Adams, the top Democrat in one of the country's most liberal cities, riled critics who have grown concerned over the mayor's increasing willingness to throw his support behind Trump and his hardline immigration policies.

Michigan football fans are cheering after top high school football recruit Bryce Underwood flipped his recruit from LSU to U of M, a move that may have been helped by NIL ( name, image and likeness ) deals and a billionaire. What Happened : After winning the NCAA Football championship last season, the 2024 college football season has been disappointing for Michigan fans. The team currently has a 6-5 overall record, a 4-4 Big Ten conference record, and a lack of consistency at the quarterback position. Michigan may have their answer to the quarterback problems with the top recruit in the nation, who happens to be a quarterback, now set to attend Michigan in the future. Underwood, who attends Belleville High School in Belleville, Michigan, flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan with reports that an NIL package worth anywhere from $10 million to $20 million factored into the equation. Helping the Michigan NIL collective Champions Circle land Underwood was billionaire Larry Ellison , according to a report from FrontOfficeSports. Ellison, who is the co-founder and chief technology officer of Oracle , is the world's third-richest person, worth $206 billion according to Bloomberg . "We are very excited to keep Bryce home in Michigan as he continues to build his legacy," Champions Circle chairman Nate Forbes previously said. "I want to personally thank Jolin and Larry Ellison who were instrumental in making this happen by providing Champions Circle with invaluable guidance and financial resources." Champions Circle later issued a new statement, which removed the Ellison reference, instead simply saying "Larry and his wife Jolin." Champions Circle co-founder Roger Ehrenberg confirmed to FrontOfficeSports that it was "THE Larry Ellison" who was referenced. "Jolin is a Michigan alumna who is super passionate about the University of Michigan Athletics and was critical support for the recruitment effort," Ehrenberg said. Ellison divorced his fourth wife in 2010 and it was not previously announced that he had married again. The report said Ellison was photographed wearing a Michigan hat and sitting next to a woman wearing a Michigan hat at a 2022 tennis tournament. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy , who is a U of M alum, previously offered to help fund an offer for Underwood. While Portnoy celebrated in the announcement from Underwood, he also clarified his role in the NIL deal. "I'm getting tons of credit online for flipping Bryce. While I love credit, reality is I played a tiny roll. Rest assured there are Michigan Men + Women out there making things happen behind the scenes. I've never been more confident that Mich is poised to dominate in this new world," Portnoy said .

While helping chip in a couple million dollars won't be a big deal for Ellison given his wealth, it comes as he is also helping son David Ellison and his Skydance Media company merge with Paramount Global PARA PARAA . As previously reported by Benzinga , Larry Ellison will become a controlling shareholder in the new media company after helping to finance the deal. Much of Ellison's wealth is tied to his ownership stake in Oracle, estimated at 42% of the company in 2023, and a stake in electric vehicle company Tesla, where he previously served on the board of directors. Ellison attended the University of Illinois, a Big Ten and Michigan rival, in the 1960s but did not graduate. Ellison also previously "rooted against University of Michigan sports teams" due to a breakup with a woman who went there, a previous report from the Tampa Bay Times said.
