Kerala authorities estimate rebuilding after flood will cost $3bn

READ MORE New Delhi, India – The cost to rebuild Kerala following the severe flooding that hit the southern Indian state will exceed $3.7bn, authorities said. Almost 500 people were killed and a million left homeless after the worst floods in a century hit the coastal state in May. The torrential rains destroyed tens of thousands of homes, ruined crops and washed away roads and bridges. At the state assembly on Thursday,  Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the economic losses would exceed $3.73bn. Last month, the central government announced it would provide 6bn rupees ($84.6m) in assistance to the state, far less than the 20bn rupees ($282m) it requested. Much to the dismay of state officials, the government has also rejected offers of foreign aid from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Around 50,000 people are still living in over 300 camps across the state. More than four million jobs have been impacted by the floods so far, while 3.3 million jobs are currently...

With Trump's deadline looming, Canada waits for news on steel tariffs

READ MORE The countdown is on as Canada waits to learn whether it will face steep U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs in March of 25 per cent on steel imports and 10 per cent on aluminum, but granted temporary exemptions to certain countries. In the case of Canada and Mexico, Trump’s administration tied both countries’ tariff exemptions to the successful renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. That exemption period officially ends May 1, and it’s not clear yet whether the White House will extend the exemption for Canada —  the U.S.’s largest foreign supplier of steel and aluminum. “The president has not made any decision yet,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox Business Network in an interview that aired Monday. His cabinet colleague Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told Bloomberg that the White House wil...
