Invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, U.S. President Donald Trump issues several executive orders barring firms and American citizens from trading and doing financial transactions with Chinese IT companies ByteDance and Tencent, effectively banning their respective apps TikTok and WeChat within the United States. The orders will go into effect in 45 days from August 6.

Trump implements a tariff of 10% on aluminum imports from Canada, pursuant to Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act. Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau vows "dollar-for-dollar" countermeasures.
