Global National: Aug. 5, 2025 | Carney commits $1.2B to lumber industry amid Trump's new tariffs

Video Description

Prime Minister Mark Carney is committing $1.2 billion to support Canada's softwood lumber industry, which has been hit particularly hard by U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. As Mackenzie Gray explains, it appears Carney has pivoted from the "elbows up" attitude he campaigned on. More people are being told to leave their homes in Newfoundland and Labrador's Avalon Peninsula, where wildfires are approaching several communities. Heidi Petracek reports on the evacuations, what's being blamed for fuelling the flames and the precautions Nova Scotia is now taking. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly pushing for his country to take full control of Gaza, but that plan is being met with resistance. Redmond Shannon explains who's believed to oppose Netanyahu's proposed plan, who might be able to stop the idea from becoming a reality, and the growing calls to halt the war on Hamas. Plus, Canadian tennis player Victoria Mboko has quickly made a name for herself during her run to the semifinals at the National Bank Open in Montreal. Eric Sorensen explains Mboko's meteoric rise and what the 18-year-old phenom's future could hold.
