Glad Mexico, Canada's strong.

Our efforts will be strengthened by working together. Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Mexico for a short visit. The two countries will work toward a strategic partnership that will cover trade, agriculture security, and emergency preparedness. Standing beside Mexican President Claudia Shanebaum, Carney stressed the importance of working together as the North American trade partnership faces the turbulence caused by Donald Trump. Prime Minister Mark Carney has appointed David Lamedi as Canada's next ambassador to the UN.

Lamedi is a former justice minister and until recently, Carney's principal secretary, who replaced former liberal leader Bob Ray, who has held the role since 2020. It is a political firestorm sparked by the ouster of a popular American TV personality. Supporters of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel say the abrupt suspension of his show is blatant censorship. The Trump administration argues the move was long overdue. Paul Hunter reports. Under apparent immediate pressure from the U.S. broadcast regulator of the FCC, and with word a number of local stations would stop airing the show,

Kimmel's Network, ABC, suspended the program indefinitely. In turn, that brought immediate outrage from free speech advocates and Trump critics throughout the U.S., slamming the move, indeed, as a threat to free speech. How low can they go? Senior Democrat in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, who helped introduce a Democrat bill to protect free speech, called the pressure put on ABC to push out Kimmel, abhorrent, obnoxious and repulsive. This is an assault on everything this country has stood for since the Constitution's been signed.

On his flight back to the U.S., Trump told reporters, network coverage of his presidency is almost entirely negative, adding, quote, maybe their license should be taken away. Kimmel himself has yet to comment on any of it. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. Donald Trump has wrapped up his two-day visit to the UK. Before leaving, he and British Prime Minister Kier Starrmer signed some major business deals. They also sidesteps several thorny issues that have strained their transatlantic relationship.

Chris Brown reports. Confronting the media was the big test of the visit for two leaders who differ on key issues, notably the war in Gaza. Starrmer has condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza City and says he plans to recognize a Palestinian state next week. absolutely agree on the need for peace and a roadmap because the situation in Gaza is intolerable. Trump, who says he's the greatest friend Israel has ever had, rejects a Palestinian state. I have a disagreement with the prime minister on that score. On Ukraine, Trump's friendly relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin is another contentious point.

He's let me down. He's really let me down. But if that's so, why not hit Russia with much harder sanctions? came the follow-up question. Trump said Europe must stop buying Russian oil first. Chris Brown, CBC News, London. Temporary foreign workers and Prince Edward Island's seafood processing sector find themselves between a rock and a hard place. Chinese tariffs and poor environmental conditions are squeezing their industry. Chean Desjardin reports. They themselves to get groceries, they self to pay bills.

Really hard to do that when you're not earning an income or you're only working 10 hours a week at minimum wage. Ryan McRae says that's the reality for hundreds of temporary foreign workers in PEI's seafood processing sector. He's with the Cooper Institute Migrant Worker Program. The province's industry is in uncharted waters as it navigates China's 25% tariff on Canadian seafood. McCrae says the impact is trickling down to foreign workers whose permits make it tricky to work anywhere else. People are incredibly desperate. Another group says it's hearing similar stories across Atlantic Canada. But tariffs are just one challenge on PEI.

The oyster industry is dealing with two diseases and the warm weather. And there is no clear fix. The PEI Seafood Processors Association says it can't comment on any one situation, but says hopefully things pick up and more work becomes available. Shia and Desjaldane, CBC News, Charlottetown. And that is your rule this hour. For CBC News, I'm Neil Kumar.
