Live updates: Trump takes honor lap in IndyCar Grand Prix

President Donald Trump arrived at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix event in Washington, D.C., on Sunday afternoon, where his motorcade took him on a lap around the racetrack where IndyCar drivers are expected to reach speeds around 180 mph.

The event is part of semiquincentennial celebrations and includes flyovers by various branches of the military. The Qatari-gifted Air Force One also flew alongside fighter jets as Trump’s motorcade took a lap.

Elsewhere, the details of the failed trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada, which sparked tit-for-tat 50 percent tariffs on certain goods between the two countries, are coming to light.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in a Saturday evening interview with The New York Times that, before this weekend, officials had offered to reduce existing tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and cars. He added that the U.S. had also offered to completely eliminate a tax on softwood lumber.

“Obviously, we would completely suspend the 50 percent Section 338 tariffs that we were going to apply to 5 percent of Canadian exports,” Greer told the Times, explaining what would have happen had Canada agreed to the other stipulations.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Saturday he planned to match the U.S.’s new 50 percent tariff “dollar for dollar,” though he has not yet elaborated on the details of these policies. Meanwhile, some lawmakers have called for negotiations to resume before Canada’s tariffs takes effect on Sept. 8.

Trump early Sunday morning appeared to address Canada’s threat of retaliatory levies. In a Truth Social post, he accused the U.S.’s northern neighbor of wanting “the benefits of being a State, without being one,” in a nod to his previous comments floating Canada as the 51st state.
