President Trump just shut down trade talks with Canada, accusing its government of meddling in a Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal tariffs. “The alleged interference? An ad from Ontario that aired during the Blue Jays–Mariners playoff game, featuring clips from Ronald Reagan’s 1987 speech. Host Brian Cheung unpacks how a baseball broadcast sparked a new trade war with NBC News senior business correspondent Christine Romans. And the feds are calling it Operation Royal Flush, a mob-backed poker scandal with an NBA twist. Prosecutors accuse 31 people, including Trail Blazers coach and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups, of rigging underground games tied to the Gambino crime family. Authorities say players never stood a chance thanks to rigged shuffling machines and high-tech lenses that let cheaters read the cards. NBC News breaking business reporter Rob Wile is here to break down this stuff that sounds straight out of a James Bond movie.
