Monday on the News Hour, as recession fears and trade wars rattle the markets, we speak with Ontario’s premier who’s hitting back with tariffs on electricity to America. The government faces a deadline to pay billions in outstanding bills for aid work as it slashes 80 percent of USAID programs. Plus, Republican leadership tries to rally votes for a bill that would avoid a government shutdown.
Correction: A graphic at the end of our Politics Monday segment should have read that it cost $392 billion to maintain the federal debt so far in fiscal year 2025, not for the entire year. Also, the source for the graphic should have been the U.S. Treasury Department.We regret the error.
