Last week's race was. in Canada where President Trump is now. waving the red flag on Canadian goods. and moving ahead with those 50% tariffs.

on the country. >> We don't have new talks planned with the. Canadians. We're moving forward with. measures that respond to Canadian. retaliation. Remember, as President. Trump has introduced a trade policy to. reshore American production and protect. American jobs, two countries have. retaliated against the United States, the People's Republic of China and. Canada. >> In recent days, the United States. proposed new terms. They were. un-economic, unfair, and undermined the net benefits for. Canada. They asked too much. and they offered too little.

>> Back here in Washington, just down. Pennsylvania Avenue, President Trump is. racing to complete the ballroom after. the Supreme Court ruling allowing. construction to continue. >> We're spending hundreds of millions of. dollars on the ballroom and it's all. from. people like me and great companies that. are putting it up. No taxpayer money for. the ballroom at all. >> The president has called the ballroom a. military complex with plans to install. drones on the roof after multiple. assassination attempts and threats on. his life, including from Iran where.

President Trump says he's launching. economic D-Day spearheaded by his. Treasury Secretary. >> We are going to collapse this regime. >> But first, we have a race to run. 25. drivers on the grid battling for the. Freedom 250 Grand Prix title. 147 laps, 250 miles, the same distance from DC to. New York, but in half the time and four. pit stops for gas and tires. On. Saturday, Alex Palou, winner of six.

races already this season, won pole and. will start in the top spot. Here's last. year's IndyCar Rookie of the Year, Louis. Foster. >> Look, we don't know if it's going to. happen again. You know, it's you know, it's obviously going to be the only. anniversary race, but we don't know if. we're ever going to come back to. Washington D.C. just in general. So, to. be one of the 25 drivers who was able to. do it is super cool. >> This afternoon, President Trump will be. taking a lap in the Beast to kick off. the Freedom 250 Grand Prix here in the. nation's capital, along with those. flyovers, Shannon. >> Be sure to like and subscribe for all.
