Trump is shaking up his White House leadership, deepening Republican divisions, while Democrats prepare to take Congress. Police arrested an armed man near the White House. Authorities say the suspect allegedly intended to kill former President Trump. Secret Service officers discovered three weapons in the suspect's vehicle. The United States announced it is lifting tariffs on some Canadian products. A U.S. food importer has filed a lawsuit challenging the tariffs on Canadian goods. The lawsuit argues the White House went beyond its authority in imposing a fifty percent duty. It is not yet known what criminal charges will be filed against the arrested suspect. It is also unclear how the suspect’s mental‑health claims will be evaluated. Whether a larger plot was involved remains uncertain. The resolution of the importer’s lawsuit has not been determined. The specific Canadian items that may still face duties have not been identified.

President Trump told the TV program that firings will follow the midterm elections. He announced that Stephen Miller will take over as White House chief of staff. He also said that Susie Wiles is leaving the chief of staff role. It remains unclear which other senior officials might be removed or reassigned. The broader plan for restructuring has not been detailed.

President Trump said he will decide soon whether to order new strikes on Iran. He called the emir of Qatar as mediators work toward a peace agreement.
