Trump’s 16th week in office to include WH meeting with Canada, ongoing trade negotiations

President Donald Trump is fresh off his 100th day in office and says his administration has no plans to slow down in the coming weeks, months and years.
«This week, we’re celebrating the most successful first 100 days of any presidential administration in the history of our country. And we’ve been given a lot of credit for that. … But we’re going to do even better as we move along,» Trump said during his commencement address at the University of Alabama on Thursday.
Trump’s 16th week back in the Oval Office is anticipated to include a meeting with Canada’s new leader, ongoing talks to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, and trade negotiations with foreign nations that are expected to continue heating up before the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs ends in July.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday he would visit the White House on Tuesday after Carney’s Liberal Party emerged victorious in the nation’s federal election last week to discuss a 25% tariff imposed on goods from the nation sent to the U.S. and Trump’s repeated urging that the U.S. northern neighbor become the «51st state.»
«We are meeting as heads of our government,» Carney said Friday of the upcoming meeting. «I am not pretending those discussions will be easy.»

Trump added during his meeting with Cabinet members on Thursday that he spoke with Carney after Canada’s election and predicted they would have «a great relationship.»
«He’s going to come to the White House very shortly within the next week or less,» Trump said on Thursday.
Beijing ‘evaluating’ trade negotiation offer

The Trump administration has leveled tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese goods as the president looks to bring parity to the nation’s chronic trade deficit with foreign countries. Trump paused his reciprocal tariff plan on dozens of nations in April as countries called on the administration to make trade deals, but he upped the ante on China as the country rebuked Trump’s trade policies with tariffs of its own, including 125% duty taxes on U.S. goods.
China’s Commerce Ministry said on Friday that officials are «evaluating» an offer from the Trump administration to hold trade talks on the 145% U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, signaling it could be a busy week of discussions if China accepts the offer.
«The U.S. has recently taken the initiative on many occasions to convey information to China through relevant parties, saying it hopes to talk with China,» the statement said, according to Reuters.
TRUMP SAYS HE WILL NOT DROP TARIFFS TO GET CHINA TO NEGOTIATING TABLE
«Attempting to use talks as a pretext to engage in coercion and extortion would not work,» the statement added.
Trump and the administration have previously said they were willing to hold trade negotiations with China, including the president saying on April 8, «We are waiting for their call. It will happen.»
The president said on NBC’s «Meet the Press» on Sunday that he will not drop the tariffs to bring China to the negotiation table.
«They said today they want to talk. Look, China, and I don’t like this, I’m not happy about this: China’s getting killed right now,» Trump told host Kristen Welker. «They’re getting absolutely destroyed. Their factories are closing. Their unemployment is going through the roof. I’m not looking to do that to China now. At the same time, I’m not looking to have China make hundreds of billions of dollars and build more ships and more army tanks and more airplanes.»
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Tuesday the Trump administration will take into account China’s lack of compliance with a trade deal from the president’s first term when it finalizes a new trade deal.
«I think we’ll have to take into account that they didn’t adhere to the phase 1 deal, and … I note with great interest that the Biden administration liked the tariffs, but they didn’t enforce the purchase agreements,» Bessent said on Fox News last week.
Meanwhile, Bessent and other administration trade leaders are negotiating with dozens of other nations during the 90-day pause that began on April 9. The pause will sunset in July, meaning officials on U.S. soil and worldwide are working at a breakneck pace to secure such deals within that time frame.
Russia-Ukraine talks continue

Trump said on «Meet the Press» that he believes he’s closer to ironing out a peace deal after Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned last week it was «critical» to U.S. efforts to secure a peace deal between Russia and its war with neighboring Ukraine.
War has raged between Russia and Ukraine since 2022, with Trump campaigning last year to end the war that he said never would have started if he had been in office after the 2020 election.
«I do believe we’re closer with one party,» Trump said during the interview, «and maybe not as close with the other, but we’ll have to see. I’d like to not say which one we’re closer to, but we did do a deal for the American people.»
Ukraine signed a deal with the U.S. last week allowing access to Ukraine’s rare minerals as it continues to hash out a peace agreement.
TRUMP SAYS HE COULD ‘WALK AWAY’ FROM RUSSIA-UKRAINE TALKS, CITES ‘TREMENDOUS HATRED’ ON BOTH SIDES
«We were able to get rare Earth [minerals]. You know, the Europeans are getting paid back. They have a loan. We didn’t. [Former President Joe] Biden just gave him $350 billion. He has no idea where the money is. … And remember this: This is Biden’s war. This was a war that was never going to happen if I were president. This is a horrible, horrible war,» he continued.
«How long do you give both countries before you’re going to walk away?» Welker asked.
«Well, there will be a time when I will say, ‘OK, keep going, keep being stupid,’» Trump replied.
«Maybe it’s not possible to do,» he added. «There’s tremendous hatred. Just so you understand, Kristen, we’re talking tremendous hatred between these two men, and between … some of the soldiers, frankly, between the generals, they’ve been fighting hard for three years. I think we have a very good chance of doing it.»
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Thursday that Ukraine and Russia need to deliver «concrete ideas» to end the bloodshed or the U.S. will end its involvement in negotiations.
«Now is the time that they need to present and develop concrete ideas about how this conflict is going to end. It’s going to be up to them,» she told reporters last week, adding that the U.S. remains focused on helping secure a peace deal.
National Security Council shake-up

Trump tapped former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations after Waltz was ousted from the National Security Council office earlier Thursday. The president said Rubio would serve as interim national security advisor, which is reminiscent of former President Richard Nixon tapping Henry Kissinger to simultaneously serve as secretary of state and national security advisor in 1973.
Headlines on the shake-up are expected to continue into this week as Democrats have said they are eager to grill Waltz in a Senate confirmation hearing to serve as the U.N. ambassador, and others said they were unsure how Rubio could serve as both secretary of state and the president’s national security advisor.
TRUMP NOMINATES WALTZ FOR HIGH-LEVEL POST AFTER OUSTING HIM AS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
«What worries me about Marco Rubio’s role now is the secretary of state and national security adviser. Both of those jobs are too big for one person. To have both of those jobs, including a bunch of other jobs on the shoulders of Marco Rubio, these are people who actually need sleep, if we are going to stay out of wars and stuff,» Democrat Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes told «Fox News Sunday.»

«I don’t know how anybody could do these two big jobs, and they’re, frankly, very different,» Democrat Virginia Sen. Mark Warner told CNN on Sunday of Rubio wearing two hats for the administration.
Democrats have signaled their eagerness to grill Waltz in his upcoming Senate hearing to serve as U.N. ambassador. The former national security advisor had been at the heart of the Signal chat leak debacle that unfolded in March, when the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic magazine was inadvertently added to a group chat with high-profile Trump officials such as Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe discussing military strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
«I think there’s obvious questions about the treatment of classified or sensitive information, use of Signal, how the whole episode of Signal unfolded,» Democrat Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said last week, according to the Washington Post. «But I also want to talk about [the] United Nations … [and] how he understands our security, because I think a lot of the moves by the Trump administration have made our nation less secure, not more secure.»

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine added that Waltz «should be prepared to answer pointed questions» during the hearing.

Fox News Poll: The GOP is seen as more likely to have a clear plan for the country

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
With the 2026 midterm elections more than a year away, a new Fox News survey finds that while the Republican Party has lost some ground to the Democratic Party on handling key issues, voters are more likely to think the GOP has a clear plan for dealing with the country’s problems.
The survey, released Thursday, finds that by a 10-point margin, more voters think the Republicans have a clear plan for the U.S. than the Democrats: 43% vs. 33%. Still, majorities feel neither the GOP (54%) or the Democrats (64%) have a plan. This is about where sentiment was three years ago, the last time the question was asked.
FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMP FACING HEADWINDS AT SIX-MONTH MARK
Far more Republicans (79%) than Democrats (51%) are confident their party has a clear plan, and that’s what hurts the Democrats. While at least two-thirds of independents feel neither party has a plan, more trust the GOP (30% vs. 25%).
At the same time, the survey shows some significant erosion in the GOP’s handling of key issues compared to the last time Fox asked in 2023, including in areas where they are traditionally preferred.
Voters view the Republican Party as better able to handle national security (by 14 points), immigration (+6R), and government spending (+5R) while the Democratic Party is favored on climate change (by 23 points), health care (+19D), social security (+17D), education (+15D), and energy policies (+6D).
The parties are rated about equally on inflation (+1D), gun policy (even), the economy (+1R), and foreign policy (+3R).
Compared to 2023, support for the GOP is down on immigration by 4 points, national security by 6, government spending by 6, foreign policy by 9, and the economy by 14. Plus, the Republicans’ 12-point advantage on inflation has disappeared, as Democrats have a 1-point edge today.
While the Democrats have largely maintained support on their best issues, it’s noteworthy they saw a 12-point increase on education, as voters have been split on who would better handle the issue for the last few years.
FOX NEWS POLL: APPROVAL OF SCOTUS AT 5-YEAR HIGH, REBOUNDING FROM RECORD LOW IN 2024
These shifts can mostly be attributed to self-identified Democrats solidifying their preference for their own party’s handling of the issues, as well as independents lessening their support for Republicans or switching to Democrats.
Self-identified Republicans continue to express high levels of support for their party on the issues.
«Independents and even some Democrats had soured on President Biden and the Democratic Congress by 2023 and 2024, but they have shifted to the left a bit in 2025 in response to the policies of President Trump and the Republicans,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. «An appreciable part of this is performance related. Without obvious economic and foreign policy victories, independents and soft Democrats could drift to the left, which could scramble the electoral dynamic heading into 2026.»
Overall, views of both major political parties are underwater. By 2 points, the Republican Party has a slightly better favorable rating (44% favorable) than the Democratic Party (42%), but more than half view both parties negatively (56% and 57% unfavorable, respectively). That’s relatively unchanged since April.
Positive views of the Republican Party have shown steady growth since October 2019, while the Democratic Party has been on a downward trajectory, reaching a record low in April (41% favorable).
The Republican Party enjoys more support among their party faithful (83% have a favorable view) than the Democratic Party (78% favorable). Seven in 10 independents have a negative view of both.

Conducted July 18-21, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,000 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (114) and cellphones (636) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (250). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.

Samara Joy, la nueva estrella del jazz mundial, llega a Buenos Aires para compartir “música auténtica, real”

Samara Joy, la gran estrella emergente del jazz mundial, responde con amabilidad (y genuino interés según puede inferirse de su expresión) durante el diálogo con Infobae Cultura por videollamada, en los días previos a su presentación en Buenos Aires. Lo cual es todo un acontecimiento: pocas veces sucede que alguien en pleno auge, se presenta aquí y ahora. Será el martes 29 en el Teatro Coliseo, un buen escenario y una gran oportunidad para poder apreciar su magnífico registro vocal y un fino repertorio que potencia sus virtudes.
En medio del torbellino de su ascenso a la cúpula, esta joven cantante que reivindica y remite a las diosas del género (sí, Ella Fitzgerald y Sarah Vaughan, nada menos), vive estos días con calma y tranquilidad. Cuando se le pregunta si se siente una estrella, o bien, se lo hacen sentir, responde con simpleza: “Creo que sigo sintiéndome como una persona normal y que sigo manteniendo la cabeza fría, centrada en el verdadero propósito de lo que significa la música. Actuar y compartir la música que siento que es auténtica, real, para mí”.
A sus 24 años, Samara Joy se ha consolidado como una de las voces más reconocidas del jazz contemporáneo. Obtuvo tres premios Grammy, incluyendo el de “Mejor Nueva Artista”, distinción que la posicionó con notable visibilidad en la escena musical global. Su popularidad en redes sociales, especialmente en TikTok, facilitó que públicos jóvenes se acercaran al jazz y la música estadounidense tradicional. De todo eso y otras cuestiones, como la familia, su barrio y la comunidad afroamericana en Estados Unidos, habló en esta entrevista que anticipa uno de los shows más esperados del año.
—Te han comparado con Sarah Vaughan o Ella Fitzgerald. ¿Qué podés decir ante semejante comentario?
—Me siento muy afortunada y es porque ellas me han inspirado. Me siento muy honrada de que cuando la gente me escucha, piensen en esas dos grandes vocalistas.
—¿Cómo te cae que hablen de vos como la “gran estrella” emergente del jazz mundial, capaz de atraer a nuevas generaciones?
—Se siente bien. Creo que el jazz sigue siendo una música atractiva. Hay tanta gente creándolo y tanta gente contribuyendo a su sonido y a su presencia hoy en día… Por eso me siento bendecida por formar parte de las muchas voces y músicos que están haciendo música jazz, que la hacen a su manera y la comparten para crear una nueva audiencia.
—¿Crees que los jóvenes afroamericanos, tus congéneres, conocen y se interesan por el jazz?
—Creo que algunos sí y otros piensen que les gusta más lo derivado de él. Quizás les guste la influencia del R&B o el soul más que el jazz clásico. Pero el hecho de que ya haya interés es un comienzo, ¿no?

—Hablando de la música de tu comunidad… ¿Cómo reaccionaste a la noticia de la muerte de Sly Stone?
—Me gusta mucho su música y me entristeció que haya fallecido. Pero hay mucho para escuchar y además nos dejó un mensaje muy positivo a través de su música, por su contribución y una perspectiva única de la vida.
—Cuando recibiste los Grammy, dijiste: “Soy del Bronx”. ¿Qué significa eso? Sabes que el barrio es famoso en todo el mundo y no siempre de manera positiva, pero vos lo conoces muy bien…
—Ser del Bronx, ser de Nueva York… Sabes, hay mucha creatividad por todas partes y mucha música a todas horas. Y creo que ser del Bronx para mí significa estar rodeada de familia, rodeada de música en una ciudad enérgica donde hay tantos tipos diferentes de personas y ámbitos de la vida. Y yo soy una de ellos, ya sabes. Me alegro de hacer oír mi voz en este mar de gente. Así que me siento agradecido de ser del Bronx.

—Por cierto, ¿Qué hay de tus raíces musicales? Me refiero a la música que escuchabas en tu casa. He leído que tu padre y tus tíos eran cantantes.
—Sí. Mi padre es cantante. Tengo antecedentes musicales por parte de mi padre y mis abuelos. Todos están en la lista negra (risas). Todos son munición, todos son artistas de alguna manera. Y el hecho de haber podido estar rodeado de música desde tan temprana edad y haber sido influenciado por la música de su generación, me ayudó mucho a definir mi identidad como artista. Pude absorber diferentes tipos de sonidos, diferentes tipos de música. Y absorberlos en mi propia voz. Por eso creo que pude convertirme en alguien mejor. Fui más consciente de lo que se necesita para hacer música y de cuántos elementos diferentes hay, desde la producción hasta la interpretación, pasando por la mezcla en el estudio y el escenario. Aprendí y asimilé mucho sobre lo que significa ser artista al escuchar la música de las generaciones de mi padre y de mi abuelo. Fueron mis maestros.
—Cuando eras niña o adolescente, ¿Qué tipo de música te gustaba? ¿Música pop o hip hop?
—Escuchaba música pop. Escuchaba mucho R&B… Gente como Destiny’s Child y Musiq Soulchild. También me gustaba mucho un grupo de gospel llamado Commissioned. Pero también escuchaba a clásicos como The Spinners. Muchas cosas diferentes, me educaron bien (risas).

—Saliendo un poco de la música ¿El movimiento Black Lives Matter sigue activo en este momentos tan particular que vive tu país? ¿O es cosa del pasado?
—Mmm… Creo que sigue siendo muy relevante. Especialmente ahora, con lo terrible que es nuestro gobierno en este momento. El movimiento se compone de personas reales, con problemas y preocupaciones reales. Ya sabes, las cosas de la gente común. Así que, en un momento como este, creo que es útil mantener los pies en la tierra con la comunidad y reconocer realmente el papel que tienes que desempeñar para no sentirte impotente y seguir apoyando a las personas que te rodean, por muy terrible que me parezca lo que está pasando. Hay personas sin hogar, personas que están empezando y no tienen nada, así que si puedo hacer que la vida de alguien sea un poco más fácil y contribuir de esa manera… Esa es una forma en la que creo que podemos seguir animándonos unos a otros y mantener y comprender mucho más nuestra humanidad ante problemas como estos: racistas, de género y todos los demás problemas. Hay que mantenerse con los pies en la tierra.
—Eso mismo, los pies en la tierra, aplica para tu momento artístico. Sos muy joven para ya sos muy famosa ¿Cómo se lleva eso?
—Definitivamente. Me siento con los pies en la tierra. Estoy agradecida y siempre quiero mantener esa mentalidad. Porque creo que la creatividad fluye más cuando se es humilde y consciente, pero sin llegar al punto de que eso domine o potencie completamente tu ego. Ya sabes. Así que, sí. Sigo sintiéndome normal.
