Senate Democrats, led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have announced intentions to force a chamber-wide vote on tariffs impacting Canada and other nations. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett described ongoing negotiations with Canada as "difficult," while Ontario Premier Doug Ford reiterated criticism of the tariffs after trade talks were reportedly terminated.
In legal news, New York Attorney General Letitia James made her initial appearance in a federal court in Virginia, where a trial date was tentatively set for January 26, 2026, in a bank fraud case. Concurrently, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that an ongoing government shutdown would likely prevent the release of the October inflation report.
