Joe Biden's campaign is expressing optimism at the ultimate result of the election but warning supporters to ``stay patient and stay calm'' as vote counting continues.

Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said Thursday on a briefing call with reporters that ``the story of today is going to be a very positive story'' for their campaign, but cautioned that as the counting continues, ``we need to allow it to get done and get done well.''

She says the campaign expects their lead to fluctuate in some states as more votes come in.

O'Malley Dillon also charged that legal challenges by President Donald Trump's campaign to halt vote counting in some states and seek a recount in Wisconsin are a ``flailing strategy'' that are an ``attempt to distract and delay'' from the results of the election.

The Associated Press is not calling the presidential race yet because neither candidate has secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory.

Several key states were too early to call, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada.

U.S. President Donald Trump could announce a new round of tariffs on dozens of countries as early as this week, according to reports citing people familiar with the matter.

Initial tariffs announced under the new plan are expected to match the current 10 per cent rate, according to the reports. The administration is also continuing trade-related investigations that could provide the legal authority to impose higher tariff rates in the future. No official

Carney criticizes Trump's new 50% tariff on Canadian imports

Prime Minister Mark Carney has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a new 50 per cent tariff on Canadian imports, calling it another example of the United States' unilateral trade policy. In a statement, Carney said the measure is a direct violation of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). According to the Prime Minister's statement, Canada has previously responded with proportionate countermeasures after the United States imposed what Ottawa described as unjustified tariffs on Canada's auto sector. Carney said Canada remains committed to protecting its wor
