## Resource

Jillian Piper reports on the federal government's lifeline to Canadian steel, aluminum, and copper businesses drowning in U.S. tariffs, as calls grow pleading for help for other struggling industries. David Akin explains how Canada and the European Union are strengthening their trade ties, and Carney's new commitment to Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. The U.S. and Israel's ceasefire with Iran is being threatened by fresh attacks across the Strait of Hormuz and other parts of the Middle East. Jackson Proskow looks at what both the U.S. and Iran are being accused of as the ceasefire is threatened, and the growing pressure to end the war amid a weakening global economy. Katherine Ward reports on the suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship carrying about 150 people, including four Canadians. The deaths of three passengers are being linked to the virus. Plus, in a Global News exclusive, Jeff Semple explains why the Chinese government is targeting Shen Yun and the performance dance group celebrating Chinese culture. And some A-listers are skipping this year's Met Gala because of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Touria Izri explains the backlash, and which high-profile names won't be at the New York show.
