U.S. President Donald Trump says his administration hasn't "had a lot of luck with Canada" in its trade negotiations ahead of next week's deadline to avert tariffs.

Trump says his administration hasn't been focused on a deal with Canada and America's northern neighbour could be a country "where they just pay tariffs."

Trump sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney threatening to impose 35 per cent tariffs if Canada doesn't make a deal by Aug. 1.

The White House has said those duties would apply only to goods not compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

Canada is also being slapped with Trump's tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles, and will be hit by copper tariffs next month.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Thursday that he was feeling encouraged after a meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Republican senators in Washington.

South Korea's former first lady sentenced to 20 months in prison for corruption

A South Korean court has sentenced former first lady Kim Keon Hee to 20 months in prison after finding her guilty of corruption, marking a significant development in a series of high-profile cases involving the country’s former leadership. The Seoul Central District Court ruled that Kim accepted bribes from the Unification Church in exchange for business-related favors, according to court findings released Wednesday. Prosecutors argued that the transactions undermined public trust and violated South Korea’s anti-corruption laws governing public officials and their immediate family members.
