Dolly Parton Remembered, Canada Hits US With Tariffs, US Visa Revocations

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80 after a recent cancer diagnosis. She is remembered as a country legend who became a true American icon.
Canada is striking back in the trade war with the United States, putting tariffs on $20 billion of American goods starting September 8 after talks with Washington collapsed.
And the Trump administration is moving to revoke nearly 200,000 visas by targeting people who came as tourists and later claimed asylum, though some immigration attorneys question whether it will have any real effect.
