Trump on Canada: we have a very good deal framework and are very close to reaching an agreement.

Jerusalem Post reports the IDF is prepared to join U.S. air strikes on Iran if ordered by Trump after the Nov. 3 U.S. midterm elections, though plans remain uncertain. The chance of an attack has risen after earlier aborted threats and as some advisers in Trump’s team again back military action. More than 10 U.S. military transport aircraft arrived this week at Nevatim and Ovda air bases in southern Israel, and Washington is moving air-defence systems and interceptors to Israel and select Arab partners. U.S. troop levels in the region remain below earlier peaks but these moves may signal an initial build-up. Washington and Jerusalem still disagree on specific operational targets.
