Biden delivered remarks to the Canadian parliament this afternoon, as part of packed visit to Ottawa. He is due to appear shortly at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at which the leaders will almost certainly be pressed on a new asylum proposal amid a rise in irregular immigration at the US-Canada border. Under the leaked details of the deal, Canada will bring in 15,000 more South and Central American migrants to Canada.
This evening, the Bidens will attend a gala hosted by the Trudeaus before returning to the US.
Meanwhile tensions remain high in New York and elsewhere around the country as Trump’s claims of his imminent arrest have yet to be realized. This morning, Trump warned of “potential death and destruction” if he was indicted. On Friday afternoon, the FBI and NYPD were reportedly investigating a death threat addressed to the Manhattan district attorney, who is leading the probe into Trump.

As we prepare to close our liveblog for the day, some disturbing news out of Manhattan, where tensions are high in anticipation of the former president’s possible indictment.
According to NBC News, federal and local law enforcement officials are investigating a letter containing “a death threat and white powder” that was mailed to Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who is leading the investigation into Trump over his role in the payment of hush money to the adult film star Stormy Daniels.
The letter was addressed to Bragg and said, “ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the sources said. It contained a small amount of white powder, NBC News reported, citing law enforcement sources.
There were no evacuations or injuries, officials said.
Earlier on Friday, Trump warned of “potential death and destruction” if Bragg indicts him on charges he denies.
