Ontario backed off plans to put a 25% electricity surcharge on nearby U.S. states Tuesday after President Trump said he would raise tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50% in retaliation. While the additional tariff was scrapped, a 25% duty on Canadian metals will still take effect today. The moves follow days of escalating trade tensions between the two countries. U.S. and Canadian officials are expected to continue trade negotiations in the coming days. | Ukraine Agrees to U.S. Ceasefire Plan Ukraine has agreed to a U.S.-brokered 30-day ceasefire proposal, contingent on Russia's acceptance, following high-level peace talks in Saudi Arabia. As part of the deal, the U.S. will immediately resume military aid and intelligence sharing, which the White House froze after a contentious Oval Office meeting less than two weeks ago. Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, said Zelensky also sent Trump a letter of apology after that meeting and called the apology an "important step" toward rebuilding trust. U.S. officials say the "ball is now in Russia's court," but Russian officials seemed to signal upcoming rejection of the agreement, expressing skepticism about U.S. intentions. | Southwest Kills Free Checked Bags Southwest Airlines unveiled sweeping changes Tuesday, scrapping its iconic "two bags fly free" policy and introducing baggage fees for most passengers starting May 28. The airline is also launching a no-frills basic economy fare that prohibits free flight changes, ending another customer-friendly practice that sets Southwest apart from competitors. The shift was driven by a push by activist hedge fund Elliott Investment Management to boost revenue. It earned praise from at least one competitor: United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby called it "the slaying of the sacred cow." Travelers buying anything but the top-tier Business Select fare will pay to check bags—likely around $35 each, matching competitors. All tickets still include a free carry-on.
