President Trump is headlining a race, he's not even running. From ABC News, this is Start Here. I'm Brad Milky. Last month, the US and Canada were this close to a trade deal when it collapsed. Tell us, who's the worst to deal with on trade? And they said, "That's easy, Canada." The terms proposed by the US administration were on economic. On fair and ultimately unacceptable. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away, saying the Trump administration was asking for too many concessions by Canadian businesses with virtually none for Americans. President Trump responded to that by implementing new tariffs on goods coming from Canada. Carney said he would now do the same thing for American goods going up to Canada. Yesterday, those new taxes took effect, and here's the thing about trade wars. It never just ends there. There are always more ways to increase the pain, increase the pressure on the other country. As long as, and this is key, as long as your own citizens are willing to endure more economic pain themselves. That's the question, just how much pain is everyone on either side of the border in four? Let's start today with ABC's Elizabeth Sholesi, who covers economics. Elizabeth, I'm telling you, I'm getting close to being tariffed out. But what are the latest ones here? We're never tariffed out in this current administration, Brad. And, you know, I think, to your point about the pressure, this is a gamble when it comes to the economic pain that Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is willing to make. I warned that America is trying to break us so they can own us. And I promise that that will never, ever happen. Canada imposed these new tariffs on $20 billion in products that are shipped from the U.S. into Canada. And this is a direct response, Carney says, dollar for dollar to the tariffs that were announced by President Trump last month. And these tariffs kind of have already been announced now they're actually in effect. What this hits here are products and sectors like steel, dairy, appliances, farming equipment, paper products, electronics. The most fundamental issue is that the cumulative U.S. demands revealed that they wanted us to become even more reliant on them, not less. In too many areas, they wanted dependency, not a true economic partnership. Carney says these are the sectors that are most impacted by the U.S. tariffs that were announced on products shipped from Canada into America. And now this is Canada's response to that. But as we know, what we will see is Canadian businesses importing these products from the U.S. paying higher prices. Just as American businesses importing their counter-tariffed products into the U.S. are paying higher prices. And of course, those cannot get passed out to customers, consumers too. And so then this is where the story continues getting juicier, right? Because President Trump, sure enough, last night said, "It's not over. We're going to institute even more tariffs." He added more items from Canada to that 50% list. So that means any of these items coming in from Canada that are on the list cost an extra 50% more for the importers. But there are options even beyond that for him, right? Because yesterday he started going back to Canadian companies directly threatening to just ban their products straight up. But what would that look like? And that's exactly it. Because this so far, this is still a pretty limited number, $20 billion when you're talking about overall trade between the U.S. and Canada. But the threat here of this going even further is very real. And the President alluded to that when he went after a major Canadian aerospace company, Bombardier. In a social media post earlier this week, the President said that Bombardier should not be able to sell his planes in the U.S. It said, "If they want access to our market, they must build here and stop treating America like a piggy bank." So this was a direct attack on a Canadian company. Keep in mind, this is a company that says it already does build a lot of its products in the U.S. A lot of the parts that says that go into making planes are already built in U.S. states. So that means there's American employees of Bombardier who, if you get banned, that's trouble for them. Exactly. They say tens of thousands of jobs across the United States. And we did actually immediately hear pushback on this, Brad, from Republican Senator Jerry Moran in Kansas, saying that the presence of Bombardier in which the alone supports a local workforce of more than 1,000 employees. So there is a very deeply entwined relationship here that isn't as simple as just saying a Canadian company can no longer operate in the U.S. because we're in this trade war with them now. There is also, Brad, this broader risk beyond the tariffs when it comes to doing business between these two countries. And we're kind of already seeing that play out in other industries. We have seen multiple Canadian provinces ban the import of American liquor of spirits. And this was really a way for Canadian provinces to say we just don't agree with what President Trump is doing. Like kind of going further than the federal, like, tariff policy. This is them saying, no, you're allowed to take them just with big taxes. But in this province, actually, you're not even allowed to import them at all. Exactly. They're saying we're just not going to sell U.S. alcohol. And that has a direct impact. There was the U.S. distilled Spirits Council says exports to Canada fell 70 percent over the past year. Beyond the tariffs, as you see this fraying of this really close economic relationship, there is the potential for this to get even worse. And that is where you can really see the pain kind of go across the economy. Right, and sure enough, it's not just Bombardier, we've also heard that the Trump administration plans to ban certain alcoholic products from Canada and motorcycle sales from Canada as well. So again, not just tariff on the table here, just the potential bans, you can't ship that stuff here. Elizabeth Sholsey, thank you so much. Thank you, Brian.

Every year, of course, Americans, particularly those near New York City and Washington, D.C., remember the sheer devastation caused by hijack passenger jets plowing into some of this nation's most iconic buildings, killing thousands. Generally, these remembrances are similar every year. The terrible facts from that day really haven't changed. But yesterday, we did get some startling news from New York City. Under the new mayor, Zauron Mamdani, officials released a tranche of new documents, more than 150,000 of them related to the aftermath of 9/11, and among all this paper. was the suggestion that, in the years following the attacks, the air around Lower Manhattan was even more toxic than what residents had been told. Remember the smoke around this wreckage was not limited to a few blocks. This floated over rooftops and snaked through streets of the most populous city in the country. So if this info was a bandaid waiting to be ripped off, it took nearly 25 years to do it. So now just days before the annual remembrance, New Yorkers have gathered near the rebuilt World Trade Center and they're angry. We're joined now by someone who knows the story as well as anyone in the ABC family. N.J. Birkett is a long time correspondent for our New York station WABC. We now work in the same building, but N.J. was there reporting live on the day of the attacks. He's actually on the site of the World Trade Center now. So N.J., can you actually just take me back to the days following 9/11? I'm wondering what the air was like, not just there where you are, but even around Lower Manhattan. I'm speaking to you now from the exact spot where I was where Marty Glenbotsky, our photographer made that video of me that has gone around the world so many times where I was standing there narrating the scene, the firefighters and both buildings on fire when just suddenly the South Tower just collapsed. And we had to run. And you can see the two towers a huge explosion now raining debris on all of us. We better get out of the way. The smell that lingered in the air really for weeks and then even months. There was a certain grittiness in the air as well and at times you could taste it. It smelled like a mixture of toxic fumes and pulverized cement. There was a spestus that lingered in the air when I was learning, and fiberglass, shards of glass, microscopic particles that I think a lot of people suspected, but there was no real proof at the time that was released to the public. And that's why this trove is so newsworthy and that's why it's got a lot of people really annoyed. Yet can you walk me through then what sort of what we learned yesterday and how we learned it? Yeah well look, the city had been facing multiple lawsuits that were suing for disclosure. It's like we know you've got documents, you've got to come clean with documents. And then magically, after 20 years, the Adams administration came across a trove of several boxes of documents that they suddenly discovered. I don't know what the truth is in there, whether they knew of the existence of the boxes and just didn't reveal them or whether somebody really decided to look really carefully and find them. However that is, we will find that out, I'm sure. But what they came out with is 170,000 documents. I am proud to announce that our administration has settled two lawsuits between the city and 9/11 Health Watch, ending what has been a multi-year legal battle and restrictions on New Yorker's ability to access information that can shed valuable insight on air quality and health concerns. Documents like air quality results, air quality testing, internal memos where administration officials in multiple administrations talk to each other and issue each other warnings about, well, are we really telling people enough about the air quality and what if we get lawsuits? Do we need to be prepared for multiple lawsuits? These are documents that show what the city knew about the toxic air around ground zero when they knew it and how they acted to limit liability. Where are the first responders adequately protected and what if they sue a saying they weren't. So all of these discussions were going on and the public was unaware of them. What was the reaction like since these documents have been uncovered? Like you said, a lot of people probably understood implicitly that air quality was not the best, but the implication here seems to be that some people knew things that weren't being expressed. Oh sure. I think a lot of us who were down here for extended periods believed that there was something in the air that was that was a problem, something in the air that was dangerous. There was poison in the air and on the ground and in the windowsills and in your air conditioners and covering your pets and your clothes and it stayed there for months, everyone knew. But we kept getting reassurances. Remember, Christine Todd Whitman, who was the head of the EPA, reassured people that the air was safe to breathe. You can go to Lower Manhattan if you're on the pile. Yeah, you should probably wear something, but that guidance didn't come out for a while. It would be one thing, if government had stood alongside survivors and provided them with everything they needed at every step of the way. And yet we know that could not be further from what actually happened. So I think a lot of us were not just misinformed, we were misled. And I think that is what's got people so angry about this. And we see more disclosures like this one because part of the story also seems like the Mamdani administration deciding to come forward with these documents like this week of all the times. But could we see more document dumps like this going forward? Yeah, we'll understand that the administration has been under a lot of pressure to come clean about 9/11. And of course, Mamdani doesn't own 9/11. He's not losing anything by coming clean with the 9/11 documents. That was not his administration, his hands are clean. So yes, he's giving these documents up to the public. Lawyers will go through them no doubt. And there will be more revelations. You've got a very aggressive New York City press corps. And they can only digest so much in a day or a day and a half. When people go through this, when the lawyers go through this stuff, there will be more. What does this mean for first responders or for victims' families? Because I feel like all this has been litigated so much like there have been congressional hearings over air quality and what these people are due. But now that there's new evidence, can you even do anything with that new evidence? Well, there are people who are going to file lawsuits against the city. No doubt. This particular lawsuit in the settlement is not going to indemnify the city. So yeah, I think they are bracing for more lawsuits, where they go, whether they can be capped, how successful they'll be. I'm not an attorney, but there's no doubt there's going to be an avalanche of lawsuits. I mean, I'm not talking, you know, two or three. Unbelievable story here. All right. MJ Berket down there at World Trade right now. Thank you so much for the time. My pleasure. Every four years, we witnessed two of the biggest political spectacles on the planet. The Republican and Democratic national conventions. For days at a time, the RNC and DNC rent out entire basketball arenas. They filled them with 20,000 delegates, and campaign staffers and volunteers, all to create this big raw, raw moment for the presidential nominees. I proudly accept your nomination for President America. We are not going back. Hotels are sold out, bars are rocking until the wee hours, it's the whole thing. This is not one of those years, of course. Yes, there's a big election, but not for the president. However, here in a midterm election, President Trump is called for a first of its kind midterm convention. And that kicks off today in Dallas, Texas. ABC's Deputy Political Director Ben Siegel is covering this up close. Ben, a little disappointed not to see you in like a hat and big belt buckle yet. We'll see what today brings, I suppose. But what is about to happen here? Brad, as you said, this is a spectacle we see for the presidential years. And the president is trying to really inject that energy and excitement into his party ahead of the midterms. It's something that he has long wanted to have a midterm convention to showcase what he believes are his successes in office. And he worked with the speaker, with the leader of the Republican Party to make that a reality now for the midterms. During this very important season, I'll be with you 100%. We're going to do something like I did for myself in the last presidential election. We're in the final stretch here in the fall of the midterms. The president is facing some challenges with the Iran War, with sagging poll numbers, people's feelings about the economy are not great. So Republicans really are seeing this two-day celebration and gathering in Dallas has an opportunity to kind of put some adrenaline into the party to excite voters, to remind them why they supported Republicans and why they should continue to support Republicans in this very pivotal midterm election. So what are we about to see here? Is it all the same speeches from all the same people that you'd expect or how does this work? Yeah, Brad. The program looks a lot like a presidential year. We're going to see the president speaking tonight, the vice president. We'll speak tomorrow. We're going to see prominent Republican leaders, people with specific issue advocates that will be addressing the crowd. And we're also going to see some interesting figures from the Trump administration. The attorney general Todd Blanche, the president's former personal lawyer, will be speaking along with Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy, and some other officials from the administration. So that is maybe a departure from what we've seen in the past. What I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot, just come and vote it so important. By and large, this is a rally for the president's most fervent supporters. He has told them to pretend that he is on the ballot this year and this is an effort to really gin up that excitement. Well, that's the thing is, there is a practical reason to have a convention in a presidential year. and people to vote. for who the national nominee is gonna be here. So you physically get all your chosen delegates together in a room to hash it out. And it feels ceremonial nowadays. But like it has not always been a rubber stamp. Like it's gotten rowdy. None of that applies to the Senate or the House, right? So I mean, what's the point here? Are you trying to sort of highlight specific races or candidates? Do you trot out all 33 Senate nominees and 430-something House nominees? Or are you trying to address certain strengths and weaknesses of the party going into the fall? - So midterms are so often a referendum on the president. In this case, the president is battling some of his lowest approval ratings of his political career. You have voters really sowering on the economy. The Iran War is deeply unpopular. But there are several key races on the ballot note, notably in the Senate, where Republicans need the president's base, low propensity, Republican voters to show up. And really bear hugging the president and his message and his strategy is actually part of their path to winning. - When everyone in Washington told him to abandon me and abandon the people of Texas, he didn't listen. Instead, he gave his complete and total endorsement. - So you have someone like Ken Paxton, the Embattled Attorney General of Texas. He is running for Senate. That was a very divisive primary that he won defeating a sitting Senator John Cornyn. There are many Republicans that don't want to vote for him. Of course, Democrats and Independents are really galvanized to vote against him and maybe possibly turn Texas blue again. But there are so many Republicans in Texas winning strategy for Paxton is to really activate the Trump supporters. The people who don't usually turn out when Trump is not on the ballot. So that is a reason why he will be speaking during this convention, featured prominently. There are several other Republicans just like him who really need to activate low propensity mega voters in their states in order to prevent a blue wave from hitting their seats. - I never take any race for granted. I've always worked as hard as I can for the people of Maine. - I think an interesting part of this story as well is who is not going to be there. Every so often in a convention we talk about who is skipping it, who does not want to maybe be associated with the President or the National Party. People like Susan Collins, the Senator for Maine this year in a state that Colin Harris carried. She is not going to be there. There are definitely some people who will benefit from some distance from the President in this environment. Of course, the challenge is the President is putting himself front and center in the party discussion. He is making the midterms in many ways a referendum on himself so that really is creating a difficult balancing act for some of these candidates who usually want distance from the President in the midterms and some of them are just choosing not to show up. - Really interesting as we start this. Like you said, President Trump speaking tonight. I know all eyes will be on that. A Ben Siegel, our Deputy Political Director. Thank you so much. - Thank you. - Next up on start here. Friends security's gotten tighter since the Louvre high, right? Oh, mind you, it's happened again. One last thing is Paul Shane. - You know when you have to call a customer service line and you just know it's gonna be a nightmare.

And one last thing. It's been almost 11 months since a gang of masked thieves broke into the Louvre in Paris. Remember how big this was? They broke in on the second floor, stole some of France's most storied crown jewels, and then got away on motorbikes. Since that moment, the entire nation has been reckoning with how this could happen in a country that values art so much. How could you be able to pull off a heist like this in France in less than 10 minutes? Security services have never been on higher alert. And yet, it's happened again. Yesterday, on France's southern coast, authorities in the town of Kanye Sumer said their greatest local landmark, the Renoir Museum, and been robbed. Thieves had cut a hole in the fence, climbed through a window, clipped through wires, holding frames to the wall, and grabbed four works by the French master. Police arrived in five minutes, but it only took the robbers three minutes to get in and out. Fortunately, they didn't get away with all of these works. The thieves dropped two of the four pieces as they fled. It's also more likely the authorities can track these guys down compared to, say, the robbers of the crown jewels. Remember, those could conceivably be stripped and melted down while a painting has to stay intact to have any value. In fact, while these two missing paintings are upcuted to be worth 10 million bucks, it's tough to sell artwork that is now the subject of a nationwide man hunt. But it does heighten the already pressing questions about museum security, because it's not just the Louvre. In the last year alone, Thieves stole gold nuggets from the French National History Museum, porcelain dishes from a famous ceramics institute, and a 2,500-year-old jewelry piece from a burgundy museum. If French authorities can't guarantee the safety of cultural treasures like these, is every piece of art in the nation up for grabs? Art experts say museums are still a relatively soft target, more traffic than a jewelry store, less security than a bank. Small museums like the Renoir exhibit, which hold only 12 paintings total, are particularly vulnerable. One piece of silver lining, at least one of these paintings has a history of returning to its rightful owners. Renoir's young woman at a well was looted by the Nazis during World War II, before finally being returned back to France. You hope that for all the lapses and security here, France's finest art detectives are on the case now. Actually, these thieves couldn't have picked a worse time to start stealing Renoirs, because in recent years, there's this whole movement. I'm not making this up called Renoir Sucks at Painting. These are people who have shown up to protest at museums in Boston, New York, to say, will you please stop including these paintings in your collection? They're not any good. Like, has nothing to do with the guy just as aesthetic. I will say, the woman in young woman at a well doesn't really have a face, but what do I know about fine art? I'm Brad Milky. I'll see you tomorrow. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Jelly mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours, with flexible, all day comfy grip.
