The Heliostar Metals Ltd. (TSXV: HSTR,OTC:HSTXF) (OTCQX: HSTXF) (FSE: RGG1) (‘Heliostar’ or the ‘Company’) Annual General & Special Meeting (‘AGM’) is scheduled for November 26th, 2025. The Company’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt and director Ken Booth will step down at the AGM, and Mr James Perry is proposed to succeed Mr. Vaillancourt as Chairman.

Heliostar’s Chairman, Jacques Vaillancourt, commented on his retirement from the board. ‘The Company has changed immensely from my initial involvement and investment. It has grown and evolved from a portfolio of prospective exploration assets in Alaska and Nevada to now producing gold from two mines in Mexico, La Colorada and San Agustin. That alone would be a significant corporate achievement, but these producing mines are complemented by a very exciting development portfolio of 100% owned projects, which include Ana Paula, Cerro del Gallo and San Antonio. All of this is evidence of the talent, competence and the day-in and day-out diligence of the management team, led by Charles Funk. I leave a Company operationally, financially and geologically stronger than ever and in very good hands.’

Charles Funk, President and & CEO, stated, ‘I wish to thank Jacques and Ken for their leadership and guidance as we have built Heliostar over the last five years. The Company has come a long way, and their contributions to this growth have been significant. As we continue to expand production towards our goal of 500,000 ounces of annual production by the end of this decade, we look forward to welcoming James Perry to the Company’s board as Heliostar’s proposed new Chairman.’

James Perry is proposed to succeed Mr. Vaillancourt as Chairman and will be put forward for approval by the shareholders at the upcoming AGM. Mr. Perry is currently President of Sweetwater Royalties, a base metals, industrial minerals and renewable energy royalty Company based in Denver, Colorado. Sweetwater, one of the largest landowners in the United States, is a privately held company established in 2020 by Orion Resource Partners. Mr. Perry has extensive mining and resources experience across Latin America, having previously served as Business Development Manager, as well as Corporate Counsel at Newcrest Mining, one of the world’s largest gold mining companies, headquartered in Australia. Newcrest was acquired for US$19 billion by Newmont Mining in 2023. Mr. Perry attended the London School of Economics, receiving an M.Sc. in History and International Relations, as well as earning a Bachelor of Laws from Bond University.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release includes certain ‘Forward-Looking Statements’ within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and ‘forward-looking information’ under applicable Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘target’, ‘plan’, ‘forecast’, ‘may’, ‘would’, ‘could’, ‘schedule’ and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements or information relate to, among other things, the Company’s annual production goals.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the terms and completion of the Facility, any future mineral production, liquidity, and future exploration plans are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the receipt of necessary approvals, price of metals; no escalation in the severity of public health crises or ongoing military conflicts; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; and the Company’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

These statements reflect the Company’s respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political, and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company’s mining activities in foreign jurisdictions; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company’s management team and outside contractors; risks regarding exploration and mining activities; the Company’s inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of public health crises; the economic and financial implications of public health crises, ongoing military conflicts and general economic factors to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company’s interactions with surrounding communities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption ‘Risk Factors’ in the Company’s public disclosure documents. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation commented: ‘ The concurrent extensions of the Corporation’s senior debts demonstrate the strong relationship and long-standing support of OR Royalties and Glencore to Falco and the development of the Horne 5 Project. Such extensions provide the Corporation with additional flexibility to pursue the permitting and development of the Horne 5 Project.’

Amendments to the OR Royalties Loan

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the OR Royalties Loan will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025, in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing OR Royalties Loan to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended OR Royalties Loan will be approximately $26,098,521, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.45 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 9% (collectively, the ‘ OR Royalties Loan Amendments ‘). The 17,690,237 warrants of the Corporation currently held by OR Royalties (the ‘ Existing OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the Corporation will issue to OR Royalties, on December 31, 2025, 19,332,237 warrants (the ‘ New OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, for one common share of Falco (the ‘ Common Shares ‘) at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share and expiring on December 31, 2026.

Amendments to the Glencore Debenture

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Glencore Debenture will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025 (the ‘ Amended Glencore Debenture ‘) in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing Glencore Debenture up to December 31, 2025, to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended Glencore Debenture will be approximately $15,433,754, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.37 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 10% (collectively, the ‘ Glencore Debenture Amendments ‘). The 19,424,944 Common Share purchase warrants currently held by Glencore (the ‘ Existing Glencore Warrants ‘) will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Corporation will issue to Glencore, on December 31, 2025, 21,381,422 warrants (the ‘ New Glencore Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, at an exercise price of (i) $0.38 per Common Share for 15,061,158 of the New Glencore Warrants and (ii) $0.42 per Common Share for the remaining 6,320,264 New Glencore Warrants, and expiring on December 31, 2026.

The OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the issuance of the New OR Royalties Warrants (the ‘ OR Royalties Transactions ‘) are considered ‘related party transactions’ under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘ Regulation 61-101 ‘). The OR Royalties Transactions are exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to section 5.5(b) of Regulation 61-101. However, Falco is required to obtain minority approval for the OR Royalties Transactions as none of the exemptions contained under Regulation 61-101 are currently available to the Corporation.

Closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is conditional upon (i) obtaining minority approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, excluding the Common Shares held by the directors and officers of OR Royalties, to be sought at the special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on December 15, 2025 (the ‘ Shareholders’ Meeting ‘), (ii) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (iii) concurrent closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants on the terms described herein.

Closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants is conditional upon (i) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (ii) concurrent closing of the OR Royalties Transactions on the terms described herein. Subject to satisfaction of such conditions, closing of the OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the Glencore Debenture Amendments, and closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is expected to occur concurrently on December 31, 2025. Additional information will be included in the management proxy circular to be filed at www.sedarplus.ca.

Prior to the transactions contemplated by this press release, OR Royalties held the OR Royalties Loan in the principal amount of $23,881,821, which is convertible into 53,070,713 Common Shares and also held 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants, representing approximately 17.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants. Immediately following closing, on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the New OR Royalties Warrants, OR Royalties would have beneficial ownership of, or control and direction over 77,328,950 Common Shares, representing approximately 18.30% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Halloween is only days away, and parents and children are flooding stores in search of the best costumes and the scariest monster, vampire and ghoul decorations.

But the author of new children’s book ‘All Hallows’ Eve’ is calling on families to search for something else: the true spiritual meaning of Halloween.

‘By writing this story, I wanted to try to do my little part to reclaim Halloween for what it truly is: a deeply spiritual holiday centered on prayer, penance, remembrance of the dead,’ said Anthony DeStefano, an author known for his Christian-themed books for adults and children.

‘I wanted to give children and their parents an engaging way to celebrate Halloween in line with their faith without losing the fun, the mystery, and even the scary excitement that kids naturally love about that season.’

DeStefano said he wants his faith-based book to put ‘the ‘hallow’ back in Halloween’ as celebrations and spending hit record highs. In 2025, Americans are expected to spend a record $13.1 billion on celebrating Halloween, according to the National Retail Federation.  

DeStefano says his message is especially relevant today, pointing to the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the shooting at a school Mass at Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic Church, as reminders of the reality of evil and risks that can come with openly expressing one’s faith.

‘I do not think these are isolated events,’ he said. ‘I think they’re symptoms of a deeper hostility toward faith that’s been very apparent in the way Hollywood, the legacy media, the academic world, and the left have been mocking religion for decades.’ 

‘Halloween isn’t about glorifying darkness,’ DeStefano said. ‘It’s about shining a light on the reality of death, the fact that eternal life has triumphed, and that’s what makes it so powerful if we understand it correctly.’ 

DeStefano warned that modern culture has distanced itself from those roots. He said Halloween has become a ‘festival of evil,’ and embracing the dark side of the holiday can be ‘fundamentally unhealthy.’ 

Halloween has long been marked by ghost stories, cursed dolls and evil spirits. Films and tales often center on exorcisms, haunted houses and witches casting spells from bubbling cauldrons to curse others. 

He said that there has been a growing fascination within the media that ‘glorifies’ evil and that this kind of entertainment can ‘dull our moral senses.’

‘All Hallows’ Eve’ tells the story of a group of friends who stumble upon a mysterious old woman who sweeps graves in a cemetery every night, according to the book description. She prays for the souls of the dead buried below, who are stuck in purgatory, and teaches the children the true meaning of the holiday. 

Purgatory is understood as a temporary and intermediate afterlife state that provides spiritual cleansing to souls before entering heaven, per Catholic doctrine. 

In the Catholic tradition, All Hallows’ Eve, or Halloween, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day take place over three consecutive days known collectively as Allhallowtide, a time to honor the saints and pray for the souls of the dead.

DeStefano said he’s not discouraging families from enjoying the usual Halloween traditions but urged parents to teach their children about the holiday’s origins and the importance of honoring the dead.

He said Halloween can also carry a message of hope. He said dressing up as a mummy, ghost, or skeleton can be a good reminder that Halloween is also a time to pray for loved ones who have passed away.

‘If someone we love has died, if our grandmother or grandfather has died, someday we’re going to get to see them again in heaven, and we’re going to be able to run up to them again, kiss them, hug them, and feel the warmth of their skin and hear their voices again,’ he said. ‘That’s what this holiday is about.’

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released on Wednesday 197 subpoenas that the Biden administration’s FBI used to seek testimony and documents related to hundreds of Republicans and GOP entities as part of the bureau’s Arctic Frost probe, the precursor to former special counsel Jack Smith’s election investigation.

‘Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,’ Grassley said at a press conference. ‘Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.’

Standing alongside Grassley, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., called the subpoenas ‘nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.’

The subpoenas included nonpublic, confidential grand jury material that Grassley said he obtained through whistleblower disclosures.

They sought certain communications with media companies, including Fox News, CBS, Sinclair and Newsmax and with ‘any’ members and aides in Congress. They also sought sweeping financial information from conservative entities.

Grassley has been releasing troves of documents related to Arctic Frost, a probe he says was politicized and lacked basis. Smith used the probe to bring criminal charges against Trump related to the 2020 election.

Lenny Breuer, a lawyer for Smith, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital that Smith stands by his offer to appear publicly before the Senate and House to testify about his special counsel work.

‘As we informed congressional leaders last week, Jack is happy to discuss his work as Special Counsel and answer any questions at a public hearing just like every other Special Counsel investigating a president has done,’ Breuer said, adding that Smith wants a public hearing ‘so the American people can hear directly from him.’

House lawmakers have called on Smith to interview with them behind closed-doors, while Grassley has said he is still seeking more information from Smith and not ready for a public hearing.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also raised at the press conference the controversial subpoenas for eight Republican senators’ phone records, which did not include the contents of phone calls but rather details about when calls were place and to whom. Cruz said he was also among the targeted senators, but he said his phone company, AT&T, resisted complying with the request and that AT&T was ordered by a federal judge not to inform Cruz about the request for a year.

‘We are going to get the answers of every person who signed off on this abuse of power, and mark my words, there will be accountability,’ Cruz said, signaling that the senators’ inquiry into Arctic Frost was far from over.

Smith brought four charges against Trump in 2023 alleging he illegally attempted to overturn the election, but the former special counsel encountered numerous hurdles during the federal court proceedings in D.C. and eventually was forced to dismiss the case after Trump won the 2024 election, citing a DOJ policy that discourages prosecuting sitting presidents.

As President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping prepare to meet Thursday, one soft-spoken U.S. export star will take center stage: soybeans. The humble crop, a $30 billion pillar of U.S. agriculture exports, has become a powerful symbol of the economic interdependence and political tension between Washington and Beijing. 

In short, soybeans have come to embody the volatility of the U.S.–China trade war. Beijing halted purchases of American soybeans on the heels of retaliatory tariffs on the crop, responding to Trump’s earlier duties on Chinese goods. 

China pivoted to suppliers in Brazil and Argentina, a move that underscored how quickly global trade patterns can shift and how vulnerable U.S. farmers are to diplomatic rifts between Washington and Beijing.

What began as tit-for-tat posturing between the world’s two largest economies has turned into a symbolic and economic gut punch for Trump’s rural base, whose livelihoods depend on the very trade ties now caught in the crossfire.

According to the American Soybean Association, the U.S. has traditionally served as China’s leading soybean source. Prior to the 2018 trade conflict, roughly 28% of U.S. soybean production was exported to China. Those crop exports fell sharply to 11% in 2018 and 2019, recovered to 31% by 2021 amid pandemic-era demand and eased back to 22% in 2024.

But some policy experts argue that China’s shift away from U.S. soybeans was already underway.

‘China was always going to reduce its reliance on the United States for food security,’ Bryan Burack, a senior policy advisor for China and the Indo-Pacific at the Heritage Foundation told Fox News Digital. ‘China started signing purchase agreements with other countries for soybeans well before President Trump took office,’ he said, adding that Beijing has ‘been decoupling from the U.S. for a long time.’

‘Unfortunately, the only way for us to respond is to do the same and that process is painful and excruciating,’ Burack said.

But for farmers thousands of miles from Washington and Beijing, those policy shifts translate into shrinking markets and tighter margins.

‘We rely on trade with other countries, specifically China, to buy our soybeans,’ Brad Arnold, a multigenerational soybean farmer in southwestern Missouri, told FOX Business. He said that China’s decision to boycott U.S. soybean purchases ‘has huge impacts on our business and our bottom line.’

‘There are domestic uses for soybeans, looking at renewable diesel, biodiesel specifically produced from soybeans,’ Arnold said. ‘In the grand scheme of things, that’s such a small percentage currently, you know it’s going to take a customer like China to buy beans to make a noticeable impact. You can’t take our number one customer, shut them off and just overnight find a replacement.’

That reliance on China adds new weight to the diplomatic stage this week, as Trump and Xi prepare to meet in South Korea. The two leaders will meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Busan, South Korea, marking their first in-person talks since Trump’s return to office. 

Ahead of the meeting, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he expected China to delay rare earth restrictions and resume U.S. soybean purchases, calling it part of a ‘substantial framework’ both sides aim to maintain. Bessent also said that trade negotiations were moving toward averting a fresh 100% U.S. tariff on Chinese goods.

And in a possible gesture of easing tensions, Reuters reported that China bought around 180,000 metric tons of U.S. soybeans in the run-up to Trump and Xi’s meeting.

Whether it marks a true thaw in U.S.–China trade relations or just a temporary reprieve, the purchase underscores how deeply intertwined diplomacy and agriculture remain.

: The campaign for ‘Squad’ Rep. Ilhan Omar recently sent over a thousand dollars to a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that partnered with a Palestinian university with alleged terrorist ties, according to new Federal Election Commission filings reviewed by Fox News Digital.

The Palestine House of Freedom, also known by its Arabic name, ‘Dar Alhurriya,’ is a nonprofit headquartered just blocks from the U.S. Capitol building. 

According to a video on the group’s website, it is ‘dedicated to the liberation of Palestine’ and ‘the dismantling of apartheid in Palestine and the establishment of a free, democratic state from the river to the sea.’

The group’s website emphasizes that Israel is ‘operating as an apartheid state.’ The website further states that its mission is to ’embark on an aggressive educational campaign targeting everyone from lawmakers, staffers, the media, to the general public’ to ‘show how dismantling apartheid and establishing a free democratic Palestine from the River to the Sea with equal rights, is the path to peace and will benefit all parties involved.’

The filings show that Omar’s campaign, Ilhan for Congress, sent $1,559.25 to the anti-Israel Palestine House of Freedom for ‘event tickets’ in September. However, it is unclear which event the payments were for.

The Palestine House of Freedom made headlines earlier this year for hosting a fundraiser in June for the Palestinian Birzeit University, a school that has alleged terrorist ties and has seen its student council elections favor the pro-Hamas wing of student council members, according to The Washington Reporter.

The university’s student council has long been dominated by the Hamas-affiliated Al-Wafaa bloc and has been previously dubbed, ‘Terrorist University.’ Student campus parades have also reportedly included people marching with mock suicide bomb vests and rockets, as reported by Memri TV.

A Fox News Digital review found that the Hamas-affiliated Al-Wafaa bloc has won several student council elections at Birzeit dating back to the 1990’s, including victories in 2022 and 2023. After the 2023 victory, a top Hamas operative reportedly told the Middle East Monitor the victory represents an ‘extension’ of the movement.

‘The second message is that the bloc has proven its ability to adapt to changes, overcome complexities, and fill the void created by arrests, martyrdom, or deportation,’ Ismail Haniyeh, who was head of Hamas’ Political Bureau until he was assassinated by Israel Defense Forces last year in Tehran, told the Middle East Monitor.

He added that Hamas is ‘unbreakable’ in its homeland and that it will confront the ‘occupier, oppression and terrorism.’ This wasn’t the first time a top Hamas operative praised the Al-Wafaa bloc’s victory at Birzeit. In 2017, a top Hamas spokesperson reportedly congratulated the student body on the election results.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg, R-Mich., sent a letter Sept. 29 to Harvard University, expressing concern about the university’s failure to issue a public decision on its prior partnership with Birzeit. In the letter, the lawmakers called Birzeit ‘an institution whose student body overwhelmingly supports Hamas’ and a school that ‘explicitly endorses a U.S. designated terrorist organization.’

Harvard announced this spring it would not renew its cooperation agreement with Birzeit and would issue a permanent decision about the partnership after an internal review, according to The Harvard Crimson.

According to the June event’s flyer, all the proceeds from the Palestine House of Freedom fundraiser, ‘From Birzeit and Beyond: How academia shapes resistance and resilience,’ went to Birzeit.

Omar was one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress in 2018. She has taken heavy criticism for making anti-American and antisemitic comments over the years, including saying that ‘some people did something’ in reference to the 9/11 attacks and saying that ‘Israel has hypnotized the world.’ She later apologized for the comment about Israel.

In September, a vote to censure Omar over comments she made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk narrowly failed to pass the House of Representatives.

Fox News Digital reached out to Harvard, the Palestinian House of Freedom, Omar’s office and Ilhan for Congress for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

A small contingent of Senate Republicans again joined with Senate Democrats to reject President Donald Trump’s tariffs — this time on Canadian goods.

The Senate advanced a resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., on a bipartisan basis to terminate the emergency powers Trump used to declare retaliatory tariffs against Canada earlier this year.

Roughly the same core group of Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joined Senate Democrats to reject the duties. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., opted to vote against this latest attempt to reject Trump’s tariffs. 

‘The vice president came up yesterday to try to corral Republicans at their lunch,’ Kaine said before the lunch. ‘That shows the White House is worried about defectors on this.’

Indeed, their votes against Trump’s tariffs on Canada came after Vice President JD Vance warned Republicans that it would be a ‘huge mistake’ to break with the White House on the president’s tariff strategy, and he argued that using duties on countries across the globe offered leverage to generate better trade deals in return.

Paul, one of the co-sponsors of Kaine’s resolution, has consistently rejected Trump’s usage of tariffs and argued that it was a tax on consumers in the U.S. rather than on foreign countries.

He noted that the message it would send to the White House, despite pressure from Vance to support Trump’s duties, was ‘that a rule by emergency is not what the Constitution intended, that taxes are supposed to originate in the House of Representatives.’

The resolution was in response to Trump’s usage of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in July to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. The tariffs on the country vary, with Trump initially placing 35% duties on the country earlier this year, along with a blanket 50% tariff on steel from other countries.

However, he recently cranked up the tariffs on Canada by 10% following an ad that ran last week that featured former President Ronald Reagan, which used audio from the former president’s 1987 ‘Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade.’

Trump railed against the ad, which was run by the government of Ontario, Canada, and declared, ‘ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED,’ in a post on Truth Social.

The latest tariff vote is the second in a trio of resolutions from Kaine and several Senate Democrats. Despite the resolution terminating Trump’s emergency powers on tariffs in Brazil and Canada both advancing in the Senate, they will likely stall in the House.

McConnell staked his position against the tariffs in a statement, where he argued that retaliatory tariffs have negatively affected Kentucky farmers and distillers.

‘Tariffs make both building and buying in America more expensive. The economic harms of trade wars are not the exception to history, but the rule. And no cross-eyed reading of Reagan will reveal otherwise,’ he said. ‘This week, I will vote in favor of resolutions to end emergency tariff authorities.’
