New jobs numbers suggest tariffs and the trade war are affecting the economy. Canada shed tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, in the highest unemployment rate the country has seen – outside the pandemic – in years.

And: U.S. President Donald Trump throws out another number for tariffs on China – this time: 80 per cent. It may be a sign he’s trying to de-escalate the standoff with Beijing over tariffs, before U.S. and Chinese officials meet this weekend in Switzerland.
