Summary
Canadian PM Mark Carney welcomes the EU’s associate membership proposal, prompting Trump to threaten tariffs and characterize the move as hostile. In Washington, fencing surrounds the Kennedy Center after its board voted to close it for repairs, a move critics link to Trump’s attempt to add his name to the building. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years, boosting U.S. futures. Finally, federal authorities arrested three individuals in Los Angeles for allegedly stealing $12 million in homeless aid to fund luxury assets and a nightclub.
