727 points. analysts say the biggest drive for investors is uncertainty as president donald trump's tariffs take effect against america's biggest trading partners. cbs's erica brown has the latest from the white house. >> reporter: stocks plummeted monday as president trump's be tariff threats sparked uncertainty for wall street investors. but trump administration officials are urging people not to worry. >> i think that we're pretty close to having the uncertainty behind us. and as you know, when that happens then the economy really lifts off. >> reporter: analysts say investors' fears lie with the uncertainty about how the trump administration's new tariffs against mexico, canada and china will impact the economy. >> the tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we've ever done as a country. >> reporter: canada is already striking back with the ontario government putting a 25% surcharge on electricity exports. canadian officials say it will impact about 1.5 million homes and businesses in michigan, minnesota and new york, costing an estimated $400,000 a day.

>> believe me when i say i do not want to do this. >> reporter: ontario's premier doug ford reiterated today that tariffs could devastate the u.s. economy. >> it's not the american people who started this trade war. it's one person who's responsible. that's president trump. >> reporter: in retaliation for the newly imposed tariffs on chinese goods china placed an additional 15% import tax on american farm products, including pork, poultry, beef and soybeans. as the trade war escalates republican lawmakers are working to pass a spending bill that would avert a government shutdown with funding through september 30th. some democratic lawmakers say they cannot support the gop's spending plan. >> the house republican so-called spending bill does nothing to protect social security, medicare and medicaid. quite the opposite. >> reporter: a vote on the spending bill is expected before friday's deadline. erica brown, cbs news, the white

house. as you just heard in that report, more shots are being fired in the trade war. this time they're coming from america's foreign trading partners. canadian officials in ontario estimate those new tariffs of 25% on electricity sales to the u.s. will add about $69 a month to the bill of each american customer throughout michigan, minnesota and new york, and new chinese taxes on imported u.s. goods in retaliation for white house tariffs are expected to bite too. an additional 15% tax will hurt american farmers, who send meat and vegetable products to china. cbs's lana zak reports from the heart of farm country, mount vernon, iowa. >> these are all beef cows. >> reporter: tim keegan calls himself a pretty basic iowa farmer. his family's been working the land in mount vernon a few hours east of des moines for generations. their livelihood comes from corn, soybeans, and a small herd of 150 cows. >> how high are the stakes for

you? >> it's tough because within agriculture, i mean, we essentially get one chance a year to raise a crop and market that crop and sell that crop. >> you don't have like five different harvests. >> no. it's not like we're a factory where we're constantly putting ot widgets every day and we can make a change and the widget's gong to come out cheaper or different the next day. so we have to be -- we're forced to be a lot more forward thinking, just the nature of our business. >> reporter: china is the largest overseas market for many u.s. farm products. last year the u.s. exported nearly $13 billion worth of soybeans from farmers like keegan to china alone and another 1.5 billion in beef. now import tariffs up to 15% from china are hitting cash crops. >> i think people within agriculture are hoping that some of this -- these tariffs and stuff will be short-term from a negotiation standpoint, and if they are long-term they will have some pretty big impacts within the industry. >> 41 years later we're still here. >> reporter: mount vernon's mayor thomas wheeler says even short-term tariffs on the town's farmers could send shockwaves

through the economy. >> we need them to be successful on every level. we need a thriving agricultural community. otherwise there's a gap in what we can provide to our citizens here. it will ripple down through our main street, through our community. >> that was cbs's lana zak reporting. doctors treating pope francis for pneumonia say his health is improving. he is now stable and no longer in imminent danger of death. despite this change for the better the hospital in rome that is caring for the pope says the 88-year-old pontiff will be kept there for at least several more days. cbs's chris livesay is following the latest developments from rome. >> reporter: well, this is some of if not the most encouraging news we've received about pope francis since he was hospitalized nearly a month ago with double pneumonia. doctors saying that they can now lift the prognosis, which had been guarded up until now. doctors couldn't say if he was going to get better or worse. but the literal translation in

italian, [ speaking in a global language ] to dissolve the prognosis means that he is out of the most critical phase of this illness. doctors adding that he'll still need several days at least to recover. still a little vague on how exactly much time he'll have to spend in the hospital. but all very encouraging. especially when you consider that last week he issued his very first audio message to the faithful gathered behind me here in st. peter's square. they've been gathering on a nightly basis for more than two weeks now to pray for his recovery. and you could hear the frailty in his voice. but the mere fact that he was able to issue this message was indeed an encouraging sign. and now one we know was leading up to this very positive news. nevertheless, he is indeed an 88-year-old man who has double pneumonia. but it looks a lot better than it did before. chris livesay, cbs news, rome. in the middle east israel continues to cut off electricity to gaza. part of what hamas is calling a starvation policy.

the latest cut affects a plant producing drinking water. it's making the already dire conditions for palestinians even worse. last week israel stopped humanitarian goods from entering gaza. israel's move appears to be an attempt to pressure hamas to accept an extension of their shaky ceasefire. a collision off the east coast of england is creating an environmental hazard in the north sea. a portuguese cargo ship carrying sodium cyanide hit a u.s. tanker loaded with military jet fuel. the collision triggered multiple explosions, setting both vessels on fire. jet fuel poured into the sea, and dozens were rescued. straight ahead on "cbs news roundup," we travel to western ukraine and ask some of the wounded warriors what they think about president trump's call for about president trump's call for a ceasefire with russia. what would it take for my child to only miss half a day of school for treatment?

"his words rarely correlate with his actions." at the superhuman center in western ukraine most of their patients are soldiers who fought to defend their country and paid with their flesh and blood. the center's partially funded by millions of dollars in private donations from the u.s. and used to receive money from usaid until that was cut by president trump. they told us they're grateful for all of it. we first met dennis kevenko

"of course not," he told us. "he'll build up his forces and attack again." ukraine's recent history, invaded and reinvaded by russia, maying ibe a warning to anyone trying to negotiate with vladimir putin. zelenskyy stressed over the weekend that his country has always wanted peace, they never wanted the invasion in the first place. but going forward, ukraine doesn't want to be pressured into a ceasefire deal that rewards vladimir putin with territory and then allows him to invade all over again in a few years' time because that has happened before. and to stop it happening again ukraine wants security

guarantees including from the u.s. >> that was holly williams in ukraine. closer to home, president trump's drive to slash the federal workforce is taking a heavy toll on america's veterans. 30% of all government workers are military veterans. and many of them are now out of work, and soon won't have the veterans administration to help. elon musk's doge team announced plans to fire more than 72,000 workers at the va. it provides healthcare, housing, life insurance, pensions and a long list of other services to america's vets and a third of all workers at the va are military veterans themselves. carter evans has more. >> you know, this is my two meritorious service medals. >> reporter: u.s. army veteran rob hamm was 18 when terrorists attacked on 9/11. >> i remember watching it and just feeling like whoa, this world has changed. and it's violent and scary. >> and you felt like you needed to do something. >> i did. >> reporter: he served several tours in afghanistan as a

paratrooper and combat photographer. his unit often close to highly toxic pits used to burn waste. >> i definitely had some chest stuff when i came back. >> are you worried that it might become an issue? >> when i look at the statistics, the odds of me getting some kind of related cancer that i will need help from the va is very high. >> reporter: hamm had produced videos for the va documenting medical professionals caring for cancer patients and treating homeless veterans. >> rolling back the level of employees that cover all of these different services is going to impact care. 100%. >> look, the va was never perfect, and it will never be perfect. >> reporter: a message posted on x by va secretary doug collins explained the massive layoffs authorized by doge would shrink the number of va employees by 72,000. >> we'll be making major changes. so get used to it. right now va's biggest problem is that its bureaucracy and inefficiencies are getting in the way of customer convenience and service to veterans.

>> reporter: the va has been plagued by scandals in recent years. but the agency did have someone overseeing the organization. inspector general michael missile was fired. >> we identified fraud, waste and abuse every day of the year. it's really hard to come in and just start cutting positions without really understanding the implications of those cuts. >> i believe we're going to overcome this. i believe when you start to piss off veterans we rise together. we should rise together. when we as a country send people to war, we have a sacred obligation to take care of them when they come home. full stop. >> that was carter evans.

would double milk prices. >> it's about working hard. these people wake up 2:00 in the morning, 1:00 in the morning. they go out. you know, they finish around 11:00, 10:00 at night. the milk doesn't stop. it doesn't stop.
