china is warning the u.s. that any agreements between the two will be void if donald trump goes ahead with his threat in that trade tariffs talks between u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross and the chinese vice premier view in beijing and they did without any specific new agreements cannabis prime minister meanwhile has called the new u.s. tariffs insulting and says canada is ready to impose its own parents in retaliation . first of all we're putting the same kinds of tariffs exactly on steel and aluminum coming from the united states into canada to be directly reciprocal but we are also putting a number of tariffs on consumer goods finished products for which canadians have easy alternatives one of the either made in canada or made from another partner with the tariffs one of the truths about tariffs is they drive up costs for
1:02 am
consumers and on top of that these tariffs are going to be hurting american workers and canadian worker the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting unacceptable mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. so mike any sign of compromise from the u.s. especially seeing the reactions both from countries like canada and of course china which is crucial well no there's no signs of any compromise from the united states at this particular point either with regard to canada or with regard to its agreements with china and of course the e.u. and mexico canada the e.u. and mexico have been hit with these new terror of switch we heard the canadian prime minister responding to that but no signs of any backing off by the united states in fact president trump's economic adviser larry could be a double down on the contention that this was a national security issue i don't think we're satisfied yet that they will protect
1:03 am
or hold all the shipment of steel coming into canada from around the world could be china could be brazil could be a lot of different places this trend shipping effort is thing that has been troubling to us look the president has declared our steel industry a national security matter. so i mean i guess there is a prospect now of a potential imminent trade war with china how worried is the u.s. and were they expecting it because presumably you know donald trump has been talking about this since he was running for president yes indeed well it's looking at a trade war with canada traditional ally but also on another front with china now wilbur ross the commerce secretary has just concluded two days of talks in beijing talks that ended without agreement now what is surprising about all of this particularly to china is the fact that a few weeks ago in talks in within the u.s.
1:04 am
us and his counterpart the. chinese vice premier had appeared to reach some kind of truce on the whole issue of trade tariffs but then on thursday last week all of a sudden it's announced that the u.s. is going to be introducing new tariffs against china now there is confusion and indeed anger as you heard there the statement from china saying that if these tariffs are indeed imposed then it will institute its own reciprocal tariffs leading to basically an all out trade war now all of this is going to come to a head next week when the g seven leaders meet at a summit in canada and certainly they're going to be very strong words there both from traditional allies such as canada and of course from china itself. i can there with the latest from washington d.c. mike thank you. well staying in the u.s. president trumps lawyer says he has the constitutional power to pardon himself but
1:05 am
doesn't plan to do so speaking to u.s. media his attorney and former new york mayor rudy giuliani noted the political ramifications of a self pardon would be severe a special council led by robin miller is investigating russia's role in the two thousand and sixteen election and with the trump obstructed justice well it's not going to happen so it's a hypothetical point i think that the presidential power there's nothing that limits the presidential power of pardon from a federal crime not a state crime. president trump is not going to do that he's obviously not going to give up any of his pardon powers or any other future presidents pardon powers but at least circumstances he's not going to do that pardoning himself would just be unthinkable and it would it would it would lead to probably an immediate impeachment you know you get your house now going to be under tremendous tremendous pressure. president has no need to do that you do anything wrong. a right wing party led by former prime minister younis young has won the most votes in
