In a major reversal, U.S. President Donald Trump is rolling back tariffs on dozens of imported food products. More than 200 items, like coffee, bananas, and beef will be exempt now. This is coming as he faces criticism over steep food prices in the U.S. For the most part, the foods, when we cut back a little bit of those fares,

we'll get the price down. But they're not competitive in this country, like tomatoes and bananas and things. We don't make them in this country. So there's no protection of our industries or our food products. The Trump administration had previously dismissed concerns that its tariffs led to any cost of living increases. But the issue is looming larger since the Republicans lost out in recent elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City. A violent storm is lashing parts of Europe. Storm Claudia brought a month's worth of rain in a single day to some areas, accompanied by winds gusting to more than 100 kilometers an hour in others.

The Vancouver Rise are playing

AFC Toronto and Rise FC's president, Chenade King, is expecting a hard-fought game. I think Vancouver, Toronto in the final is the final that certainly our players were looking for. Toronto have been a phenomenal side and really found their form. They're in a great streak at the moment. So we're looking for redemption after that 7-0 loss. AFC Toronto's finishing this season at the top of the standings, trailed by the other five Canadian women's teams. That's your world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey.
