Good morning. Britain scored an early win in the trade war at the G7 summit, though Canada may be close behind – more on that below, along with the latest on the Minnesota shooter and the conflict between Israel and Iran. But first:

• New powers in the border bill would allow warrantless police requests to doctors, abortion clinics and hotels
• Poilievre to face a leadership review in January
• Consent videos are not viable as evidence in court, experts say after the Hockey Canada trial

On Sunday evening, after a handful of meetings in Kananaskis to start the G7 summit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer drifted over to the hotel restaurant for a drink. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sat down with him. French President Emmanuel Macron joined next. Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Italian counterpart, Georgia Meloni, soon followed. Everyone ordered a glass of wine.

A Downing Street spokesperson stressed that this impromptu session was not a Donald Trump snub: The U.S. President didn’t arrive in Alberta until later that night. But when asked by a Guardian reporter whether discussion centred on a “Trump-handling strategy,” the spokesperson demurred. The Middle East crisis came up often at the table, he noted. As for other subjects covered, well, that’s hard to say – it was a private affair.

Still, it’s highly likely that the President’s name crossed somebody’s lips. Every country has come to Kananaskis hoping to cement a trade deal with the U.S.; every leader is keen to leave as the G7’s Trump whisperer. To court his favour, Meloni has made much of her anti-immigrant, anti-woke, pro-JD Vance bona fides, while Merz scrapped Germany’s debt brake to spend a whack-load of money on defence. Macron tried a softer touch earlier this year in the Oval Office, where he repeatedly patted Trump’s forearm. None of these tactics has yet translated into scrapped tariffs on their imports to the U.S.

Instead, it was Starmer who scored the first trade win at the summit yesterday, announcing that the agreement between Britain and the U.S. is now in effect. Britain will remove its tariffs on American ethanol and beef, and the White House is meant to drop its 25-per-cent levies on British steel and aluminium down to zero. It’s a decent result for Starmer, given this agreement has been stalled for more than a month, and given Trump used his first G7 appearance to remind everyone that he’s “a tariff person” and has “always been a tariff person.”

But perhaps not for much longer. The Prime Minister’s Office said yesterday evening that Carney and Trump will accelerate talks on an economic and security deal to lift tariffs within the next 30 days. It was a late breakthrough after a 70-minute sit-down by the two leaders and a subsequent meeting between high-ranking officials from each country. The commitment puts a timeframe on ending the Canada-U.S. trade war. “I would have liked it to be two weeks ago,” federal minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters in Kananaskis. “I would have liked it to be in May. But that doesn’t mean we stop doing the work.”

Will the White House stick to that timeframe? Might all the work really pay off? Tea-leaf readers are now scrambling for meaning in a maple leaf. Trump showed up to the summit sporting a brand-new accessory on his navy-blue suit: a lapel pin of intertwined U.S. and Canadian flags. “No pins were given in the welcome basket,” a spokesperson for the PMO said, so the President brought it along himself. Maybe the pin spoke to a genuine interest in bilateral cooperation. Maybe the whole annexation business is actually done. Hope springs eternal, because at last night’s group photo, Trump’s Canadian flag remained firmly in place.

An Israeli strike hit the headquarters of Iran’s state television broadcaster yesterday while its anchors were live on air. Hours later, Israel issued an evacuation order for northwestern Tehran, as Donald Trump refused to sign a G7 statement urging restraint from both countries — then said he was working on something “much bigger” than a ceasefire.
