Dolly Parton, the legendary country music star whose work influenced generations of artists, has died at age 80, her nephew Bryan Seaver announced Tuesday on social media.
Seaver did not reveal a cause of death. Parton announced in May she was canceling her planned Las Vegas residency to continue recovering from ongoing health issues. In a video message in May, Parton said she was “improving every day,” though some medications and treatments left her feeling “a little bit swimmy-headed,” making it difficult to perform.
Parton was one of the most influential entertainers in American culture, with a career that spanned music, film, television, business and philanthropy.
And the Canadian government announced that it will match "dollar for dollar" tariffs, with rates of up to 50%, as a direct response to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump last week on Canadian imports.
The tariffs are expected to hit $20 billion in goods.
The counter-tariffs include steel, paper and appliance products. Among the products that will get the full 50% tariffs are toilet paper, wood flooring and some dairy products.
Canada said it had to impose counter-tariffs to protect its workers.
"Canada's counter tariffs are designed primarily to provide protection for Canadian industry impacted by U.S. tariffs and allow them to compete against U.S. products in the Canadian market. It's all about fairness. It's all about level playing field. It's all about supporting Canadian workers and Canadian businesses," said Minister of Finance and National Revenue of Canada François-Philippe Champagne.
