  The interior of the Windsor Assembly Plant in southwestern Ontario. Amid tariff threats on imported steel and aluminum by U.S. President Donald Trump, there's also concern in Canada's auto sector. Canada is preparing a policy shift that could reshape its automotive sector by giving foreign automakers preferential access to the domestic market—on the condition that they manufacture vehicles within the country. A senior government official signaled that the move is part of a broader effort to strengthen Canada’s industrial base and attract long‑term investment.

Trump Demands Rupert Murdoch Be Deposed Within 15 Days in Epstein Defamation Case

U.S. President Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch

Former President Donald Trump has filed a motion in federal court seeking an expedited deposition of media mogul Rupert Murdoch in connection with a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, News Corp.

The lawsuit stems from a July 17 article published by the Journal that alleged Trump sent a sexually suggestive birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The letter reportedly featured typewritten text framed by a hand-drawn outline of a naked woman, with Trump’s signature placed suggestively below the waistline. Trump has vehemently denied authoring the letter and claims the article is defamatory.

In the motion filed Monday in Miami, Trump’s legal team argued that Murdoch, 94, should be deposed within 15 days due to his advanced age and reported health issues. They contend that Murdoch’s direct involvement in the decision to publish the article—despite Trump allegedly warning him it was false—demonstrates actual malice and warrants urgent testimony.

Murdoch has until August 4 to respond to the motion. The court has set a deadline of September 22 for all defendants to formally reply to the lawsuit.

A spokesperson for The Wall Street Journal stated that the publication stands by its reporting and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
