Trump Administration Prioritizes Women's Sports, Faces Democratic Opposition; Senate Defies Court Order in Senator Probe; Canada's Stock Index Rises Amid Tariff Concerns

President Trump reaffirms commitment to protecting women's sports, issuing executive orders banning biological males from female athletics and threatening federal funding for non-compliant states. Democrats oppose these measures, blocking resolutions supporting women in sports. The NCAA will comply with the order. Separately, the Senate Committee on Ethics proceeds with an investigation against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, defying a Federal High Court order to halt proceedings. The committee cites parliamentary rules and separation of powers. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's petition against the Senate President is deemed inadmissible due to a pending court case and procedural issues. Meanwhile, Canada's S&P/TSX composite index increased, while U.S. stock markets declined amid tariff concerns. The Canadian dollar traded at 69.39 cents US. Oil prices fell, while gold and copper rose.
