I'm Claude Fague. Industry Minister Melanie Jolie says she's in solution mode following Donald Trump's doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminum. Jolie says she's meeting with steel companies and industry leaders. She also confirms Prime Minister Mark Carney has spoken to Trump in a bid to reach a new agreement, but she wouldn't go into details. We won't negotiate in public and we'll let the Prime Minister do his work and we will let all ministers do their work. Ottawa is trying to reach a tariff deal with the White House before this month's G7 summit.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's brought back a policy from his first term banning and restricting travel from several countries. Trump says he's concerned about what he calls terrorist threats and visa overstays. Chris Reyes takes a closer look at a rule that's caused controversy before. With that Oval Office declaration, U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a full travel ban on 12 countries, among them Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Venezuela, Haiti. Most countries are in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. So far, there hasn't been significant protest against Trump's latest ban,

as there was in his first administration when he issued a similar restriction against mostly Muslim majority countries. Taufik Rahim is the Canadian author of a new book on Trump. He says the president is likely building on the success of the first ban. Their desire is to one, limit, if not restrict or completely eliminate illegal immigration and overhaul legal immigration in a way that befits what they're trying to do in the country. The ban will take effect on Monday. Chris Reyes, CBC News, Washington. In the middle of Canada's worst measles outbreak in decades, a premature baby born with the illness has died in

Ontario. The province's chief medical officer says the mother was not vaccinated and passed the virus on to her child. Health reporter Jennifer Yoon has more. Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario's chief medical officer said while measles may have been a contributing factor in both the premature birth and the death, the infant also had other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus. There are a lot of possible things contributing to this really sad outcome. Jacqueline Wong, who specializes in infectious diseases at McMaster Children's Hospital, says without more details, we may never know if the measles infection was the main reason the child died. When you have a premature baby and many of their organs might not be fully developed, it's very difficult for that baby to survive. There are almost 3,000 confirmed and probable cases so far this year across Canada.

Because measles kills one to three people per every 1,000 infected, this death is a tragedy public health officials have been bracing for. Jennifer Yoon, CBC News, Toronto. Canada and China held talks today. The PMO's office confirms that Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with the Premier of China Li Chung. The pair discussed trade along with bilateral relations and better communication channels between the two nations. Carney also raised concerns about China's tariffs affecting agriculture and agri-food products including canola and seafood. Both leaders also committed to

working together to address the fentanyl crisis. To Oklahoma City and the NBA Finals. As seen on TSN, Hamilton, Ontario native Shay Gilgis Alexander with two of his game high 38 points, his thunder led by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter, but the Indiana Pacers, nicknamed the comeback kids during these NBA playoffs, did it again, scoring the winning basket with under a second left to play to stun the Thunder 111-110, grabbing a 1-0 series lead. Andrew Nebhard of Aurora, Ontario, scored 14 for the Pacers. Game two is back in Oklahoma City on Sunday. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude
