Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Washington, 4th Comprehensive Foreign News Report) U.S. President Trump told the news website Axios today that he is paying close attention to the funeral of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamini, adding that the two sides will not open fire on each other during this period, and that the two countries will continue negotiations after the funeral. The United States and Israel jointly launched a war against Iran at the end of February, and Ali Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the war. Axios reported that Donald Trump said the Iranians were “begging for a deal,” but the United States and Iran decided to suspend negotiations for a week and resume talks after Khamini’s funeral and related ceremonies. Trump pointed out that the United States and Iran will not open fire on each other during this period. He said: “They are all gathered there. One shot (can take them all out), but we will not do that because then no one can negotiate with us.” Trump also mentioned that he was surprised to see some Iranian people crying at the funeral because he thought everyone hated Khamini. “Maybe it was a fake cry,” he said after thinking for a moment. Trump also told Axios that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked him to meet at the White House, and that the meeting could be held as soon as next week after he returns from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit. The NATO summit will be held in Türkiye from the 7th to the 8th of this month, and Trump is expected to attend. In the interview, Trump emphasized that he and Netanyahu get along well and that Netanyahu “knows who is boss.” The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office stated that Netanyahu called Trump yesterday to congratulate the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence.

2026/7/3 18:55 (updated at 7/3 19:31) Please agree to our privacy policy to enable the news listening function. (Central News Agency, Montreal, Comprehensive Foreign Reports on the 2nd) Canadian Prime Minister Carney today obtained the agreement from the Province of British Columbia to build an investment agreement for a major oil pipeline, overcoming the original opposition of the westernmost province. This allows Canadian oil production to be exported from the West Coast into new Asian markets, reducing economic dependence on the United States. Agence France-Presse reported that the pipeline starts in the oil-rich Canadian province of Alberta and will span the entire British Columbia province. It is expected to transport 1 million barrels of oil per day to the west coast of Canada. Mark Carney has said that the pipeline will help Canada achieve its goal of becoming an “energy powerhouse.” One of Canada’s strategies in response to the trade war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump is to open up more international markets. The Carney government signed a memorandum of cooperation (MOU) with the conservative province of Alberta more than seven months ago. Premier Danielle Smith announced at a press conference jointly held with Carney today that the provincial government has officially submitted the investment case to federal authorities. B.C.’s leadership until recently expressed opposition to the multi-billion-dollar investment deal, fearing environmental impacts and risks to Indigenous communities. Canada’s indigenous groups have expressed opposition to the plan. British Columbia Premier David Eby said today that according to the agreement, new liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities and port infrastructure will be built in British Columbia while ensuring environmental protection measures. Carney said “it’s time to take action” and that the process of consulting indigenous groups would “begin immediately.” (Internship editor: Hong Yutong/Verification: Zhang Zhengqian) 1150703 Support Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.

2026/7/2 08:16 (Updated at 7/2 08:35) Please agree to our privacy policy to enable the news listening function. From left are the Mexican flag, the Canadian flag and the American flag. (Reuters) (Central News Agency, Washington, 1st comprehensive foreign news report) U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said today that the United States will not extend the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) according to its current content, which means that the agreement will be reviewed annually from now on. Agence France-Presse and Reuters reported that given that the supply chains of industries such as automobiles are deeply integrated in North America, this move is likely to exacerbate the uncertainty faced by companies. However, even if it is not extended by today’s deadline, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement will remain in effect for 10 years. The free trade agreement will then be reviewed annually unless a member decides to withdraw completely. Greer said in a statement: “The United States does not agree to renew the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement under its current content. Therefore, the agreement has not been renewed.” He also said: “The United States will continue to communicate with Mexico and Canada to address the shortcomings of the agreement and our trade deficits with these countries.” A senior U.S. official told reporters that the trade deficit is a core concern for the United States, and it also includes opportunities for market access. The official also pointed out that there are tensions between dairy products and areas such as corn. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that negotiations were at an impasse but said the differences faced by the parties were not irresolvable. Canada’s Minister of Trade with the United States, Dominic LeBlanc, said Canada will continue to work hard to deal with the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Trump on Canadian steel, aluminum, automobiles and lumber products. LeBlanc said: “We all agree on the importance of continuing the dialogue and finding ways to ensure that the trade and investment architecture between Canada, the United States and Mexico can continue to support the prosperity and competitiveness of North America.” (Compiled by: Chen Yuting) 1150702 Support the Central News Agency Choose to stand with the facts.
