Hi, John. So, a U.S. official tells Fox
that U.S. forces struck two sites on Larrick Island
and that they were targeting these Orion forces
that they had been able to see preparing to launch rockets
with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.
It's also worth noting that Central Command
says that it had completed clearing out
the international shipping lanes
in the Strait of Hormuz of sea mines just in the last week.
President Trump just returned here to the White House.
A couple minutes ago, he spent his day
at his golf course in Virginia,
and there he took online aim at Canada today,
writing a series of posts about the escalating trade war
between the neighboring countries,
writing this, quote,
Let all Canadian companies that are doing business with America
move to the United States immediately.
Canada's retaliatory tariffs will begin in about a week
in response to the U.S. slapping 50 percent tariffs
on about $20 billion worth of Canadian products.
Ontario's premier today argues
that these tariffs only hurt both sides.
If I can say, everyone's feeling bullied by President Trump,
and this is the worst thing you could do
for the American economy.
It did not grow this way over decades and decades
of being protectionists.
It grew because of free trade and open and fair trade.
Trump today also wrote, quote,
I don't want Canadian cars. I don't want Canadian parts.
I don't want Canadian anything.
They have been ripping us off for decades,
and it's going to stop.
This should have happened long ago with other presidents,
just as stopping Iran should have happened long ago.
The war with Iran hit its sixth month mark on Friday.
The Iranian government this weekend
is vowing to stand firm against new U.S. sanctions.
Here domestically, oil and gas prices remain elevated.
According to AAA, the current national average
of a gallon of gas is $4.08, when a year ago it was $3.20.
President Trump announcing what he is calling
a historic oil deal with Venezuela.
Venezuela's acting president, Del C.
Rodriguez, says the 25-year agreement
will allow for the development of 17 strategic oil fields
to produce 1.5 million barrels per day.
Trump today on Truth Social said that the oil
will fill up the strategic national reserves,
although it's unclear how quickly that could happen
because these reserves have dropped
to what is more than a 40-year low.
