Global National: April 7, 2025 | Trump defiant on tariffs as stocks nosedive

From Global News.

World stocks are still falling due to the economic uncertainty of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but he’s standing firm on them. Jackson Proskow explains how Trump and his inner circle are defending his trade war, the stock market’s increasing volatility and how American lawmakers, including some Republicans, will try to diminish Trump’s authority on tariffs.

If his party wins another term in Parliament, Liberal Leader Mark Carney is pledging temporary financial relief for seniors whose retirement accounts have tanked due to global market instability. David Akin explains what Carney is promising, his warning about more economic uncertainty and what Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to seniors as well.

Poilievre is promising to speed up approvals for major resource projects if he becomes prime minister. Mackenzie Gray explains Poilievre’s pitch to "cut through red tape" and why streamlining the approval process could be complicated.

Plus, Chilean-Canadian composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer is a big reason behind the success of HBO’s hit series "The White Lotus." Heather Yourex-West speaks with Tapia de Veer about his Emmy-winning work, the popularity of his music and why he’s now moving on from the series.
