President Donald Trump said overnight that it would be difficult to make a trade deal with Canada if it moved forward with plans to recognize a Palestinian state. 
Trump made the comments after Canada declared that it would join France and the United Kingdom in pushing for the affirmation of Palestinian statehood. The announcement came two days before Canada could be slapped with a 35% tariff if it does not reach a trade agreement with the United States before Trump&#8217;s Friday deadline. 
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114945962278773358">posted</a> on Truth Social around midnight. 
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney released a <a href="https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2025/07/30/statement-prime-minister-carney-canadas-recognition-palestinian-state">statement</a> on Wednesday that said: &#8220;Canada intends to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025.&#8221; 
“We reiterate that Hamas must immediately release all hostages taken in the horrific terrorist attack of October 7; that Hamas must disarm; and that Hamas must play no role in the future governance of Palestine,&#8221; Carney said. “Canada will always steadfastly support Israel’s existence as an independent state in the Middle East living in peace and security. Any path to lasting peace for Israel also requires a viable and stable Palestinian state, and one that recognizes Israel’s inalienable right to security and peace.”
On Tuesday, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-against-rewarding-hamas-with-palestinian-statehood-bluntly-rejects-two-state-solution">dismissed</a> the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state, declaring that doing so would be equivalent to &#8220;rewarding&#8221; the Hamas terrorist group.
“Well, you could make the case that you’re rewarding people, that you’re rewarding Hamas if you do that,” Trump replied. “And I don’t think they should be rewarded. So I’m not in that camp, to be honest. We’ll let you know where we are, but I am not in that camp, because if you do that, you really are rewarding Hamas, and I’m not about to do that.”
Earlier this week, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-administration-boycotts-un-publicity-stunt-conference-on-palestinian-statehood">said it boycotted</a> a United Nations conference promoting the two-state solution, calling the event a “publicity stunt” and an “insult.”
Trump has been using tariffs to apply pressure on countries he believes are acting in ways contrary to American interests. On Wednesday, he said that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-slaps-india-with-25-tariff-unspecified-penalty-for-dealing-with-russia?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Slaps+India+With+25%25+Tariff%2C+Unspecified+‘Penalty’+For+Dealing+With+Russia">he would</a> hit India with a 25% tariff and an additional unspecified “penalty” for continuing to buy oil and military equipment from Russia amid its war with Ukraine. His administration has made similar threats against China for its purchase of sanctioned Russian oil.

Trump Warns Canada: Backing Palestinian State Could Damage U.S. Trade Deal

Fewer jobs were added to the economy in July than expected as the unemployment rate remained largely unchanged, according to a report released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
The monthly jobs <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">report</a> found that 73,000 jobs were added to the American economy in July, lower than the 100,000 that the Dow Jones had projected. The health care and social assistance industries saw job growth while federal government employment continued to decline. 
The industries of mining, quarrying, oil and gas extraction, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and warehousing, information, and finance all saw marginal changes, the report said. 
“Both the unemployment rate, at 4.2 percent, and the number of unemployed people, at 7.2 million, changed little in July. The unemployment rate has remained in a narrow range of 4.0 percent to 4.2 percent since May 2024,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics found. 
The report also said that average hourly earnings for nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.3% in July. 
Major revisions were made to the job reports from May and June, with the July report noting that job growth had been overcounted by around 258,000. 
“Revisions for May and June were larger than normal,” the report said. “The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down by 125,000, from +144,000 to +19,000, and the change for June was revised  down by 133,000, from +147,000 to +14,000.”
In a statement responding to the jobs report, Republican National Committee Communications Director Zach Parkinson pointed to lower gas prices and the stock market.
“The Trump economy is delivering real results for American workers and families,” Parkinson said. “Prices for gas and groceries are down, inflation has fallen, the economy has added half a million jobs since January, wage growth is at 4%, and the stock market just reached record highs.”
Shortly after the report was released, President Donald Trump again called for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. 
“Too Little, Too Late. Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell is a disaster,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. “DROP THE RATE! The good news is that Tariffs are bringing Billions of Dollars into the USA!”
The jobs report comes on the heels of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-economy-keeps-roaring-3-gdp-growth-shatters-expectations">the news</a> showing that real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at 3% in the second quarter and amid a flurry of new actions by Trump on tariffs. A wave of new tariffs is set to go into effect on August 7, even as negotiations with Mexico and China, two of America’s biggest trading partners, remain ongoing.

Fewer Jobs Than Expected Added In July As Unemployment Holds Steady

President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Thursday evening, raising the tariff on Canadian imports to 35% effective at midnight, while granting Mexico another 90 days to negotiate a trade deal with the United States.
The actions come as the August 1 deadline arrived for countries with trade deficits with the United States to reach new trade agreements, but Trump said they won&#8217;t take effect until August 7 for most nations. In a Truth Social post, Trump praised ongoing talks with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, while he ripped Canada for failing to crack down on drug trafficking. Trump also said that he would not raise tariffs on Mexico beyond current levels for 90 days.
“I have just concluded a telephone conversation with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, which was very successful in that, more and more, we are getting to know and understand each other. The complexities of a Deal with Mexico are somewhat different than other Nations because of both the problems, and assets, of the Border,” Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday night. “We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time.”
The current deal hits Mexico, America&#8217;s top trading partner, with a 25% tariff imposed because of fentanyl trafficking over the southern U.S. border, a 25% tariff on vehicles, and a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum, and copper. 
“Additionally, Mexico has agreed to immediately terminate its Non Tariff Trade Barriers, of which there were many. We will be talking to Mexico over the next 90 Days with the goal of signing a Trade Deal somewhere within the 90 Day period of time, or longer,” Trump added. “There will be continued cooperation on the Border as it relates to all aspects of Security, including Drugs, Drug Distribution, and Illegal Immigration into the United States.”
Trump said that Vice President JD Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other top administration officials were all present for the call with Mexico. 
In Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/07/amendment-to-duties-to-address-the-flow-of-illicit-drugs-across-our-northern-border-9350/">executive order</a>, Trump justified raising the tariff on Canadian goods, citing the country&#8217;s “failure to devote satisfactory resources to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug or human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.” 
That announcement came after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-warns-canada-backing-palestinian-state-could-damage-u-s-trade-deal?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Warns+Canada%3A+Backing+Palestinian+State+Could+Damage+U.S.+Trade+Deal">said</a> that it would be difficult to make a trade deal with Canada if it moved forward with a plan from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to recognize a Palestinian state. 
“Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!” Trump said. 
More than a dozen countries are facing tariffs ranging from 19% to 41% when they take effect on August 7. All countries across the board will pay a baseline 10% tariff under the White House plan. Separate negotiations with China, another one of America&#8217;s largest trading partners, are ongoing.

Trump Drops The Hammer On Canada, Pushes Mexico To Cut A Trade Deal In 90 Days

A Kentucky Republican running to replace Senator Mitch McConnell deleted multiple environmental-themed tweets just months before launching his campaign, a Daily Wire review found.
Businessman Nate Morris deleted a number of tweets promoting environmentalist concepts and celebrating “World Environment Day” in early 2025, just months before launching his Senate campaign. Morris, the CEO of Morris Industries, has <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/congressional/3466274/deleted-dei-posts-culture-war-kentucky-senate-gop-primary/">pledged</a> to fight diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment mandates if elected, saying his experience as a businessman showed him the need to “end this crap.” 
Morris is running an anti-establishment campaign to replace McConnell, accusing his opponents — Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) and former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) — of being the former Senate Majority Leader&#8217;s puppets. He has <a href="https://natemorris.com/">pledged</a> to support mass deportations, opposing amnesty, banning doctors from doing transgender procedures on kids, cutting federal funding to woke schools, opposing gun control, and backing President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. 
The deleted tweets included multiple posts promoting the concept of a circular economy, a movement <a href="https://www.epa.gov/circulareconomy/what-circular-economy">defined</a> by the Environmental Protection Agency as a model that “keeps materials and products in circulation for as long as possible” and “an important part of slowing climate change.” The concept, promoted by organizations like the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/stories/circular-economy/">World Economic Forum</a> and the <a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/circular_economy_14_march.pdf">United Nations</a>, frequently comes alongside government regulations and mandates. 
“A Circular economy generates no waste. To get to that point, we will need to change minds and change habits. #EnvironemntalInnovation,” Morris wrote in a May 8, 2020, tweet that has now been deleted. 
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-954845" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/May-8-2020-deleted-tweet.png" alt="" width="1462" height="1189" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/May-8-2020-deleted-tweet.png 1462w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/May-8-2020-deleted-tweet-300x244.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/May-8-2020-deleted-tweet-708x576.png 708w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/May-8-2020-deleted-tweet-768x625.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1462px) 100vw, 1462px" /></div>
On June 5, 2020, Morris shared an article called “A Future Without Waste,” writing: “Changing habits. Changing minds. Changing the world in small and difficult – yet impactful – steps. There can be no alternative. #WorldEnvironmentDay #EnvironmentalInnovation.”
Two other tweets from around the same time were deleted related to the “circular economy,” include one from June 29, 2020, where he wrote “we must do everything in our power to create a truly circular, free market economy and make the planet a better place for future generations” and another from July 10, 2020 sharing an <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/editor-can-circular-economy-help-reduce-waste">article</a> from National Geographic that said that a circular economy could “save the world.” 
“I’m glad to see [National Geographic] raising awareness about the critical need to move toward a [circular economy]. It is a realistic goal and we can make it happen through [American innovation],” he wrote. 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-954851" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/July-10-2020-deleted-tweet.png" alt="" width="1387" height="1182" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/July-10-2020-deleted-tweet.png 1387w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/July-10-2020-deleted-tweet-300x256.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/July-10-2020-deleted-tweet-676x576.png 676w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/July-10-2020-deleted-tweet-768x654.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1387px) 100vw, 1387px" />
The tweets were all deleted in early 2025, prior to the launching of the Senate campaign in June on Donald Trump Jr.&#8217;s &#8220;Triggered&#8221; podcast. 
In a statement to The Daily Wire, Trump Jr. vouched for Morris’s anti-ESG credentials. 
“Few people have been more outspoken against ESG and woke capital than me over the past five years, and I can say with total certainty that Nate is 100% aligned with us on supporting the parallel economy, combating ESG, and destroying woke capital once and for all,” he said.
“Nate hasn’t just talked the talk on these issues either — he actually put his money where his mouth is and invested in Vivek Ramaswamy’s anti-ESG investment fund.&#8221;
In July 2024, Morris Industries <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240725415339/en/Morris-Industries-Invests-in-Series-B-Round-of-Strive-Enterprises">invested</a> in Strive, an anti-woke wealth management venture backed by Ramaswamy.
In recent months, Morris Holdings removed renewable drinking water company Source Global from its list of select holdings on its website. Source Global includes major investors like BlackRock, Bill Gates, and Duke Energy. 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-954879" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-30-at-3.25.50-PM.png" alt="" width="811" height="911" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-30-at-3.25.50-PM.png 811w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-30-at-3.25.50-PM-267x300.png 267w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-30-at-3.25.50-PM-513x576.png 513w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-30-at-3.25.50-PM-768x863.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px" />
“Nate does not have a meaningful position in Source Global, which is why it no longer appears on the Morris Holdings website,” Morris campaign spokesman Conor McGuinness told The Daily Wire. “At no point has Nate ever advocated for government-mandated anything.&#8221;
Previously <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/congressional/3466274/deleted-dei-posts-culture-war-kentucky-senate-gop-primary/">deleted</a> blog posts from Morris’ time as CEO of Rubicon, a large recycling company, have come under scrutiny for their promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and Environmental Social and Governance (ESG). For example, in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250418092835/https:/www.rubicon.com/blog/elizabeth-montoya-board-of-directors/">one post</a> from September 2020, Morris praised a new board member of Rubicon for helping the company remain “at the forefront of the ESG movement.”
In another <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250312153932/https:/www.rubicon.com/blog/we-must-listen-we-must-lead/">deleted post</a> from June 1, 2020, Morris wrote that he was “feeling profound sadness and anger at the tragic events of recent weeks&#8221; in the wake of the death of George Floyd. 
“The protests we are seeing are a manifestation of the pain and anger that so many are feeling,” he wrote. “While it is important that we understand that pain and anger, it cannot bring back the lives that have been lost or undo the past injustices that have plagued our nation for generations. That pain and anger must fuel real, measurable, and decisive action to light a better path forward.”
Another <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250513063137/https:/www.rubicon.com/news/rubicon-global-joins-ceo-action-diversity-inclusion/">pos</a>t highlighted Morris’ decision to sign a DEI commitment, which included pledges “to have complex discussions about diversity and inclusion, to implement and expand upon unconscious bias education, and to share best and unsuccessful diversity and inclusion practices.”
“I was at Rubicon when it got its first round of funding in 2011 and returned a decade later when it was a more mature business. Nate was always known to be a conservative Republican and a Trump supporter; it was no secret, really,” Graham Salazar, former employee of Rubicon, told The Daily Wire.
“While he wasn’t overtly political at work, he did push back against progressive employees who wanted to bring more activism into the company culture. That kind of pressure was common in startups, and it was obvious he didn’t go along with it.”
Barr and Cameron, Morris&#8217;s main opponents, have accused the businessman of exaggerating his conservative credentials, criticizing him in particular over the Rubicon DEI pledge.

Republican Senate Candidate Deleted Environmentalist Tweets Before Launching Campaign

A Century Ago, The ‘Scopes Monkey Trial’ Shook The Nation. The Stakes Are Just As High Today.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday morning that India would be hit with a 25% tariff starting August 1 and an additional “penalty” for buying military equipment and energy from Russia. 
Trump made the announcement in a post on Truth Social that criticized India’s business with Russia amid the war in Ukraine. In recent days, Trump has been increasing pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the fighting and come to the negotiating table. 
“Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country,” Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114942106248731470">wrote</a>. 
“Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia’s largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE — ALL THINGS NOT GOOD! INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25%, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST,” he added. 
In a later post, he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114942113260599578">wrote</a>, &#8220;WE HAVE A MASSIVE TRADE DEFICIT WITH INDIA!!!”
According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, the U.S. <a href="https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/south-central-asia/india">exported</a> around $41.8 billion in goods to India in 2024 while importing $87.4 billion, equalling a $45.7 billion trade deficit. The &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs for India were initially set at 26%.
Trump has yet to reveal what further &#8220;penalty&#8221; India could face. 
The Trump administration has previously<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bessent-warns-china-on-russian-oil-purchases-that-could-bring-100-tariffs?author=Reuters&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Bessent+Warns+China+On+Russian+Oil+Purchases+That+Could+Bring+100%25+Tariffs"> threatened</a> to use a similar tactic against China and other countries for purchasing sanctioned Russian oil. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday that the continued purchase of Russian oil could lead to massive tariffs. 
“The Chinese take their sovereignty very seriously. We don’t want to impede on their sovereignty, so they’d like to pay a 100% tariff,” Bessent said.
Trump has become increasingly outspoken with his frustration with Putin and the ongoing war. Earlier this week, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-shortens-initial-50-day-deadline-for-putin-to-reach-peace-deal-with-ukraine?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Shortens+Initial+50-Day+Deadline+For+Putin+To+Reach+Peace+Deal+With+Ukraine">shortened</a> the 50-day deadline he had set for Putin to make a peace deal with Ukraine. That came after the administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-shortens-initial-50-day-deadline-for-putin-to-reach-peace-deal-with-ukraine?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Shortens+Initial+50-Day+Deadline+For+Putin+To+Reach+Peace+Deal+With+Ukraine">moved</a> to resume weapons shipments to Ukraine earlier this month after a brief pause. 
“We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever. You have bodies lying all over the street,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘That’s not the way to do it.&#8217;”
