From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Mike Miles. We've been in Minnesota where the hunter suspected killer ended Sunday night. Vance Bolter was taken into custody. He's accused of killing lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and wounding state senator John Hoffman and his wife. Authorities allege Bolter was dressed as a police officer at the time. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz spoke just minutes ago.

To Melissa and Mark's family, I cannot fathom your pain and the grief that you're going through. We'll take solace in the memory and the grief that you're going through. We'll take solace in the memory and the work that Melissa did and you can rest assured that we will put every ounce of effort that the state of Minnesota has to make sure that justice is served. Bolter faces two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. Officers found at least three AK-47 assault rifles, a nine-millimeter handgun, as well

as a list of names and addresses of other public officials. The G7 summit begins Monday in Kennanaskis, Alberta, but ahead of that, Prime Minister Mark Carney will be meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. They're expected to discuss issues like border security, tariffs, and trade deals. On his way to catch his flight to Calgary, Trump was asked if he's expecting any new agreements. Look, we have our trade deals. All we have to do is send a letter, this is what you're going to have to pay. But I think we'll have a few new trade deals, yeah. Trump also said he hoped Israel and Iran would be able to reach a ceasefire.

That conflict is now into its fourth day. Carney has been meeting with other world leaders who've arrived for the conference. Karina Ruh Roman has more. The stakes are high for Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney playing host amidst a global trade war instigated by US President Donald Trump, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, and now Iran and Israel exchanging missiles. Carney has already tried to temper expectations. There will be no overall joint communique and hopes have dimmed for a trade and security deal between Canada and the US coming out of this summit. Canada-US trade minister Dominic LeBlanc says it's unpredictable. All of a sudden this can start moving in

a way that perhaps we didn't see. So if on Sunday it looks like there's no agreement, Monday night can suddenly be an agreement. And if we think we made progress two weeks ago, well, two weeks later, we haven't got the agreement we want. Carina Roman, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. A private plane breached the restricted airspace over Kenanaskis Sunday. That had the Royal Canadian Air Force scrambling CF-18s to intercept the interloper. They tried repeatedly to get the pilot's attention before they escorted him to land. Airspace over Kenanaskis and part of Calgary is off limits to private aircraft until Tuesday night after the G7 summit ends. A different summit also begins Monday, this one in Boston, with a group of Canadian Premiers meeting with governors from the northeastern US.

They want to strengthen cross-border ties and reduce the impact of the Trump tariffs. Main governor Janet Mills says her estate exported $1.3 billion in goods to Canada just last year and imported almost $5 billion. She says the tariffs are causing real problems on both sides of the border. We're very concerned about cross-border energy sources, electricity sources. We're concerned about lumber traveling back and forth, and seafood that Canadians harvest and Maine fishermen harvest and that go to Canada to get processed sometimes and come back into the United States, you know, these are real problems when it comes to putting tariffs on Canadian imports. Mills says tourism is another issue.

Last year, roughly 800,000 Canadians visited Maine. This year, those numbers are down significantly. Buzz Hargrove, a commanding voice in Canadian labor and politics, has died. Our union is going to fight like hell to defend the manufacturing jobs. They're so critical. For decades he was a force to be reckoned with in Canada as he fought for union members and social causes. Hargrove was president of the Canadian Auto Workers from 1992 to 2008. He was 81 years old. That is your World This Hour. For news anytime visit our website cbcnews.ca. For CBC News, I'm Mike Miles.
