CBC News reports that Republican Sen. Susan Collins warned Prime Minister Mark Carney that deepening Canada's ties with the EU — after Ursula von der Leyen offered it the first "associate membership" in Strasbourg — could make it harder to reach a trade deal with the Trump administration, which Donald Trump called "laughable." Collins urged both countries to return to the bargaining table, while Senate Democrats tabled a bill to repeal the tariffs and Sen. Chris Coons forecast a "tall order" to end the trade war even if they win the midterms.
