. 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem, 1:00 a.m. tuesday in bangkok. wherever you're watching from around the world, thank you very much for joining us. two leaders under scrutiny in their countries, right now together inside the white house. is benjamin netanyahu using president trump to try to help save himself? also, global backlash erupts over the president's threat to laurc launch a trade war, but a new twist from the president himself just moments ago. plus the president makes a

demand as he says north korea wants to talk, and a russian sex wo worker vows to spill secrets about president trump, a russian seductress inside thailand. netanyahu comes to the u.s. for talks about a peace and terrorist negotiation. he made a deal with prosecutors. as for president trump he's looking to change the focus from last week's cavalcade here in washington. let's go to jeff zeleny. jeff, last week was chaotic for the president. how are they trying to change that narrative today? >> reporter: controversy from

said the white house as well as the russian investigation, but it's clear the president trying to change the subject but also sparking a furious and ferocious fight with his own party over the message he announced last week about imposing tariffs on some foreign goods. now, he is sparking this fight. speaker paul ryan is doing something he has not done much in the last year or so. he is urging the president to not go ahead with those planned tariffs discussed last week. he said it would hurt american workers, it would hurt the economy here, even blamed the drop in the stock market last week to this plan. the president asked directly about this in the oval office. he had this to say. >> we're not backing down. mexico is -- had a very bad deal with mexico, a very bad deal with canada. it's called nafta. our factories have left our country, our jobs have left our country. for many years nafta has been a disaster. we are renegotiating nafta as i

said i would, and if we don't make a deal, i'll terminate nafta. but if i do make a deal which is fair to the workers and the american people, that would be, i would imagine, one of the points that we'll negotiate, would be tariffs on steel for canada and for mexico. thank you. >> not worried about a trade war? >> i don't think so. >> is there a trade war? the president said, no, i don't think so. but the reality is that many republicans and business leaders here do believe that's what could happen, so the president pushing the populist rhetoric he campaigned on, but the real world consequences are also unfolding. we're getting some mixed sense if this policy is going to be announced by the end of the week or if it's going to be pushed off into the following week here. it was announced last week without much specificity. again, the white house trying to change the subject from all the

staff shake-ups here, but now they're left with this fight inside the republican party, wolf. >> a serious fight indeed. thanks very much, jeff zeleny. we'll have a lot more on the tariffs, the potential for a trade war. that's coming up. right now joining us is aaron david miller. he worked closely on peace negotiations in the state department for more than 20 years. aaron is now with the wilson center here in washington. let's talk a little bit about u.s.-israeli relations. both of these leaders under a lot of pressure right now, a lot of scrutiny. the israeli prime minister especially under criminal investigation. >> yeah, and i think benjamin netanyahu, in an effort to escape some of that, came to apec to meet with the president. i have to tell you, watching that, i haven't seen anything like that since clinton. the warmth, the clear and purposeful effort on the part of both leaders to praise the other, the president saying the u.s.-israeli relations have

never been better, now actively considering attending an opening ceremony of the embassy in jerusalem. look, you have an administration that's already created historic firsts. the first president to visit israel during his term, the first president to pray at the western wall, the first president to recognize jerusalem as the capitol of israel and now maybe the first president to preside over the embassy opening in jerusalem. >> he was asked specifically if he would go. it's not scheduled until may 14, the official opening of the temporary embassy in jerusalem. listen to what he said. >> we're looking at coming. if i can, i will. israel is very special to me, special country, special people, and i look forward to being there, and i'm very proud of that decision. >> the people are wondering, is there a u.s. embassy in jerusalem? there isn't a u.s. embassy in

tel aviv. but there is a name. they're going to take that name from the consulate in jerusalem and call it the u.s. embassy. >> the consulate which deals with the palestinians will continue to maintain itself. >> they'll just change the name from consulate to embassy. >> it's a quick fix to ultimately construct on that site, presumably, a permanent embassy. it's rather remarkable the degree with which all politics are local. you have a prime minister that wants to demonstrate his indispenindi indispense ability. >> can the president serve as the peace negotiator if he only has interim secret security clearance as opposed to top secret security clearances? >> jared kushner could have access to every piece of classified information in the world, and without the israelis

and palestinians able to make tough decisions and an administration that knows what it's doing, it wouldn't matter. at the same time, the fact is having top secret clearance in a world driven by intelligence organizations where he's literally reading intercepts on the very people he's negotiating with could be extremely important, a sign of credibility. plus, participating in these telephone exchanges like he did with assad, you have to know what you don't know and you have to be in a hurry to find out. presumably, unless mr. trump restores mr. kushner's clearance or selective access, mr. kushner won't have the ability to find out what he doesn't know. >> chief of staff john kelly says, you're not getting them, at least not yet, but the president can overturn that if he wants. aaron miller, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. when it comes to president trump's new trade policy, it's the united states versus the world right now with one of his top trade advisers saying that right now no country will be

left off the list when it comes to new steel and aluminum tariffs. but even as the trump administration digs in on a possible trade deal, he tweeted, quote, we have large trade deficits with mexico and canada. nafta, which is under renegotiation right now, has been a bad deal for u.s.a. massive relocation of companies and jobs. tariffs on steel and aluminum will only come up if the new and fair nafta agreement is signed is, closed quote. you can see canada is the largest number of steel exports, mexico is 9%. aluminum in canada more than triples the amount in any other country. jim is watching this closely. jim, with the president's latest nafta comments, does it make it sound like the entire steel and aluminum tariff threat was a ploy to force canada and mexico

to give in on nafta renegotiations? >> i'm not sure it does, wolf, but if it is a ploy, it's a bad one. the president has taken a very broad policy here. it applies, the white house is telling us, to every country in the world. if you're going to do that just to squeeze mexico and canada, that would tend not to be a very well tailored plan. on the flip side, they've been very critical of these tariffs so this could be the president lashing back at them saying, hey, you want to criticize my tariffs, fine. unless you give in on the nafta agreements, we're not going to change this tariff which you don't like. >> we've heard a lot on the increase of tariffs, not just from a bunch of democrats but top republican leaders, including the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader. does congress have any control over these tariffs? >> well, what congress can do in the short term is not very much. in the long term, they could try

to seize some control back, but this is truly a place where the president has always been at odds with congressional leaders in his party. where they have been trying behind the scenes to get him to change his policy, we're seeing that spill out more into the open now because the traditional republican post-trade consensus, it may or may not happen. >> the president is giving himself an out if there is a successful renegotiation on nafta, no more tariffs. i assume the markets like that. >> it's hard to mind-read the markets day to day, but yeah, i think that's definitely a thing the markets would react well to. we clearly saw the market react negatively last week when the president embraced not just tarif tariffs, but the idea of a broad

trade deal. countries worry about a big trade deal and then growth around the world. >> jim tankersley, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. a russian sex coach offers trump secrets for a price. the state department apparently refusing to spend a dime to fight russia hacks. why? president trump's new comment taking it to a whole new level. eal thing. experience the command performance sales event for yourself, now through april 2. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

you walked together. you built your home again. my dna showed that i'm native american, and connected me to cousins who taught me about our tribe. my name is joseph reece, and this is my ancestrydna story. now with 10 million new family connections made every day. order your kit at ancestrydna.com we're now hearing from the self-prescribed russian seductress. she is talk to go cnn through the bars of her jail cell in thailand. she wants to come forward with what she calls the missing puzzle pieces, but there is a

catch. she says she won't spill the alleged secretsasylum. let's go to senior correspondent ivan watson joining us from bangkok right now. ivan, you spoke with her. tell our viewers what she had to say. >> reporter: yeah. i mean, she's saying that she's willing to cooperate with u.s. investigators to share what she claims is really important information having to do with alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election. but she hasn't offered any evidence, really, to back up her claims, and she says she won't because she risks deportation from an immigration detention center here in bangkok back to russia, and she fears further persecution from the russians. all of this might sound like a really half-baked kind of desperate plan to get out of trouble with the thai authorities, except for one thing. she popped up in an investigation by a russian

opposition, leading russian opposition politician who figured out from her previous social media post and see a book she published where she changed the names of an oligarch she claimed to seduce, he figured out she was actually on the private yacht of a russian billionaire that she claimed to have had an affair with for more than a year. that's what she told me from behind bars today. but also in those pictures, you could see a senior russian government official, the deputy prime minister of the russian government, in a meeting with this russian billionaire. didi pasca is known in the states because he is a former business partner of paul manafort. of course, the former trump campaign manager now indicted facing charges of money laundering as part of the mueller investigation, the mueller investigation, into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election. and that's where this woman then pops up again after she was

arrested with some of her friends, and get this, they were teaching a sex training course in a thai resort. they were arrested by thai police, and then she immediately began saying, i can spill a lot of information if the u.s. helps get me out of jail, information that should help. what did she tell me? she says she has hours of audio recordings from her meetings with didi pasca, which he saw, and she had meetings in which he had plans to try to influence the u.s. election. a lot of this could be fabrications created trying to evade breaking laws here in t i

thailand. >> ivan, thanks. president trump is turning his attention to the 2016 campaign, criticizing president obama. why did the obama administration start an investigation into the trump campaign with zero proof of wrongdoing, long before the election in november? wanted to discredit so crooked h. would win. unprecedented. bigger than watergate! plus, obama did nothing about russian meddling. we're here with cnn politico analy analyst. >> one, his implication there was that this was a political investigation opened by the obama administration to target trump. remember the timeline here. first of all, it was not the dossier. the fbi started the counter-intelligence investigation seven weeks before the dossier which, again, trump

and others have called a political document because the trump adviser, george papadopoulos, told an australian diplomat that the russians told him they have dirt on hillary clinton. then that diplomat considered it important enough that he then shared it with his u.s. counterparts. remember, that's the origin of this investigation. did obama do nothing on russian meddling? he did something on it. you can argue if he did enough, but he did something on it. imposed quite serious sanctions during the transition. he warned vladimir putin personally on them. he named russia being behind them. so it's fair to criticize obama for not doing enough, but where he gets into dangerous territory, president trump, is by comparison the trump administration certainly has done less, imposed fewer sanctions, and in fact the president himself is sitting on congressionally mandated sanctions which the house and the senate pushed for in direct

response to the russian meddling. so the facts don't support the tweet. >> the former cia director during the obama administration, john brennan, strongest reaction to the president's tweet calling him suffering from apparent anxiety and paranoia about the russian investigation. all of a sudden the president is going backwards, tweeting about this now, shows what john brennan is suggesting? >> i think we've seen various junctures that when the investigation gets closer to the white house, you see tweets either about hillary clinton or the obama administration's responsibility or things that actually don't come back to him. which is about as far away as he gets. every russian meddling issue is just about himself. but there is also open discussion, as jim was kind of referencing at various points, where we are getting to a point where the investigation is heating up.

you heard them say, the republicans are a reason why we couldn't put out a forceful statement. this really has become a crux point, because now it doesn't seem like either side is saying, this isn't a big deal. clearly it's a big deal. who is culpable? is it the obama administration because it was on their watch when this happened, or is it the trump administration saying russians are being fed by the kremlin? that's why you see these tweets and other political attacks rampd up in intensity. >> russian meddling is continuing right now, today, and the president is the president now, today. for instance -- and this is one of many instances of this -- the head of the nsa which would be the front line defense against russian cyber attacks said, a week ago on the hill, the president has not instructed him to do anything, to stop these attacks there. the president can look back as

much as he wants to. but we know the meddling continues. this administration who has been in office for 14 months is not responding. >> and last august, the house and senate almost unanimously passed through sanctions against russia because of its russian meddling. the president allegedly signed it into law but since then has not imposed any sanctions. now we're learning from the "new york times" that there was an appropriation of about $20 million for the state department to fight this russian meddling in the u.s. election system, and of that $120 million, the u.s. state department so far has spent -- >> zero. >> -- zero. >> and the thing that's really stunning about it, in that report they said there is not a single russian speaker on that team. that's problematic if you're trying to focus on russian meddling. clearly congress has laid out ways for the administration to take more steps. there is an open debate whether you should go whole hog on

sanctions, because that can affect the economy, but the fact nothing has been done is really striking. this is the issue, that we've been so focused on the political back and forth, and the president has been so obsessed with every time someone brings up russia, he takes it as an affront to himself and the legitimacy of his presidency, that we've done nothing in terms of working on the greater problem here. russia wins most when there is discord, not necessarily one horse or the other in this race. there is a lot of discord right now, and had he not had the intelligence committee get a mandate, you have no recommendations on how to do better. we'll see the intelligence committee put something out. >> the president is unusually silent reacting to this meddling. he doesn't say anything about putin or what the russians are up to. but he goes back and complains about what the obama

administration was up to or not up to. >> and the nfl and the oscars. >> thanks very much. a historic meeting in north korea. kim jong-un speaking face to face with top south korean officials in pyongyang as president trump lays out a single demand if north korea wants to talk with the united states. plus, the younger brother of the parkland high school killer now speaking to police about their relationship and the brother's big regrets. stand by.

groundwork for north korean-u.s. talks at the same time. having dinner with a journalist the other night, president trump said about the north koreans, and i'm quoting now, they called up a couple of days ago and said, we would like to talk. and i said, so would we, but you have to denuke. you have to denuke. so let's see what happens. let's go to pentagon leader barbara starr. can they come together and be face to face? >> at the moment it doesn't look like that if you believe the north korean rhetoric, the north koreans responding to that suggestion from the president calling it pre pposterous and e ridiculous. what does it mean to denuke? they would have to pledge to

abandon their weapons before they sit down and talk. there is simply no indication the north koreans have any intention of doing that right now, even as they suffer, supposedly, from diplomatic and the economic pressure of sanctions. their sources of currency are drying up. where they are getting the components and the materials to continue the program, to keep building, remains an unanswered question. but they are giving no indication that they are ready to abandon and have that as a precondition for sitting down. exactly the opposite, wolf, may be taking place. u.s. officials are telling us that since november they see the north koreans making progress in their weapons program even with the sanctions, that they are improving their missiles, their nuclear warheads, guidance. they're still struggling to get the technical capability to get a missile and a warhead to a precise target of their choosing at a point in time. that's a highly technical matter. but on everything else the north

koreans appear to be making progress and appear to be doing everything but agreeing to abandon it all. wolf? >> i'm still struck by the fact that the vice president, when he was in south korea for the olympics, he was apparently ready for a sit-down meeting with the sister of kim jong-un, but it was the north koreans who canceled that meeting two hours before it was going to be taking place. so the u.s. -- the trump administration clearly ready for a direct dialogue. the president suggested that at the gridiron dinner saturday night as well. we'll see what happens down the road. barbara, thank you very much. more on breaking news. a new trywist in the president' talk about starting a trade war. today is the deadline for lawmakers to come up with a solution for the so-called dreamers, but they are nowhere close to a deal. so what's next for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of these young people? i have type 2 diabetes.

i'm trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. he told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. and while not for weight loss,

top republicans on the house ways and means committee in washington are expressing deep concern about the president's tariffs of steel and aluminum imports. the tariffs are also sparking outrage among some of the u.s.'s closest allies. canada, the european union, the u.k., they've all talked about retaliatory measures. china sauis also weighing in. our reporters around the globe have the latest reactions. let's begin with cnn's will ripley. >> reporter: hey, wolf. china says they don't want a trade war with the u.s., but they also say they won't sit

idly by to watch their interests harmed. that being said, the latest tariff talk on steel and aluminum doesn't really affect china much because they export very little to the u.s. the reason for that, huge tariffs that were set up by the obama administration, which means this announcement from president trump hurts key u.s. allies far more than it hurts china. >> hi, wolf. here in berlin the word is incomprehensible. that's how germany a foreign minister describes the steel and aluminum tariffs. the country's supply is about 40% of u.s. steel, and it's about the biggest manufacturer of steel and aluminum. they are not going to take this lying down. in fact, they have already threatened to slap tariffs on some all-american products including harley-davidson motorcycles, bourbon whiskey and levi's jeans, just to name a few. >> in canada, officials are

huddled trying to figure out how to retaliate. if president trump goes through with tariffs on steel and aluminum, canada is the number one exporter to the united states. for that reason they say they will hit back, they will hit back quickly and they will hit back hard. how they say they will do it is they'll hit the trump administration politically. they'll look at those swing states, states like pennsylvania, ohio and michigan. those states are also top trading partners with canada, and they will do what they can to have donald trump know that, look, this is going to hurt the united states as much as it's going to hurt canada. >> paula newton, thank you very much. thanks to the rest of you as well. let's talk about the potential fallout from these proposed tariffs. i'm with gary lock. he served as the u.s. ambassador to china during the obama administration and also served as the governor of the state.

what concerns you most about the possibility of these steel and aluminum tariffs? >> what's going to happen is you'll see prices going up in the manufacturing of american products so that's going to hurt the american consumer. so much as yo, as your report indicated, of the steel and aluminum comes from canada and mexico, but not from china. perhaps they'll go for our agricultural products, but the reality is american producers will have to pay more, whether they're going to pay more from the american producers of steel and aluminum, or they're going to pay more from the supplies that they get from canada or europe. that's going to ultimately cost more to make these things, and those costs will be passed on to consumers. >> the president now says, and we just heard a little while ago, suggesting -- and he tweeted about this as well. if there is a deal to renegotiate nafta, the american free trade agreement with canada

and mexico, he'll forget about the tariffs. is that a good idea? >> i don't think that's going to work. in fact, it's really boxing people in. it's going to raise their ire and they're going to be even more out to push back against the united states. so i don't think this is a good negotiating tactic. and if he's saying that this is justified on grounds of national security, so much of the aluminum and steel that we're getting from our allies are being used for military purposes. so it's going to raise the cost of the military production as well. >> i want you to list ten to wh the president said this weekend about china's president. listen to this. >> china is great and xi is a great gentleman. he's now president for life. he's able to do that, i think

it's great. maybe we have to give that a shot someday. >> clearly the president was trying to make a joke, but what do you think of the president's statement in that specific regard? >> i think all of us have to be concerned about the growing strong man rule that's creeping all across the world. certainly if you're a fan of whatever china is doing now, you're going to like the fact that xi is in there for life. if you're concerned about whether it's his military buildup in the south china sea and the north china sea or human rights, intellectual property thefts, the lack of rule of law, then you ought to be very concerned. because a person who is there for life, the people that work for him will have no incentive to really push back. it will be unbridled power that they feel they have. they can ultimately, and the people who serve him, will ultimately feel they can do whatever they want. >> how will president xi's move to extend term limits impact the u.s.-china relationship right

now? >> well, i think the u.s.-china relationship has a lot of tension in it right now. there are a lot of disputes between the united states and china on trade, rule of law, human rights. obviously the buildup of the islands in the south china sea, islands that are contested by many other countries, and our concern is what that will do with respect to the free navigation in those areas. but he's also embarked on some major economic policies, really political, diplomatic policies with his one-belt, one road initiative. $18 trillion of infrastructure for other countries in asia, africa and eastern europe. that's going to give china a lot of influence. and so what xi jinping is really trying to do is build up stature, power, the clout of china. not just militarily, not just economically but also politically. >> former commerce secretary for china, gary lock.

thanks so much, governor, for joining us. >> my pleasure, wolf. coming up, why calls to action on gun control legislation have come to a screeching halt on capitol hill. plus, why a foreign director says trump's latest tweet shows he's panicked over the russia investigation. e's one. manatees in novelty ts? surprising. what's "come at me bro?" it's something you say to a friend. what's not surprising? how much money matt saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you.

afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding

than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.

today was supposed to be the deadline for congress to come up with a solution for the so-called dreamers, the young immigrants brought to the united states as children. a series of court rulings has made today's deadline moot. supporters of daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals,

are holding a march on washington. they are pushing for action by congress. they want quick action. that's what president trump called for when his administration announced last september that daca was ending. listen. >> i'm here today to announce that the program known as daca effectuated under the obama administration is being rescinded. >> we all have a great heart for the folks we are talking about, a great love for them. hopefully now congress can help them and do it properly. i can tell you in speaking to members of congress they want to do something and do it right. >> joining us now to talk about daca and more, democratic congressman pete aguilar. thanks for joining us. where do things stand now? the president said he wants a deal, you want a deal. he's ready to give a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers in the united states, more than the 700,000 who have

officially registered with daca. what's wrong with that? >> nothing. a path to citizenship is legitimate. this is a crisis the president created. unfortunately congress hasn't acted in six months. >> what's the problem now? >> look, i'll tip my hat at least to mitch mcconnell for giving the senate an opportunity to vote. they didn't meet the 60 threshold, but in the house we can't even get a vote. while there are republicans committed to the issue, i have a bill with 27 democrats and 27 republicans, a bipartisan measure that was the mccain-kuhns bill in the senate. we could pass it but the president keeps getting in the way. >> will hurd is a republican congressman from texas. you are working with him. he says we'll give the 1.8 million dreamers a pathway to citizenship. they will be allowed to stay in the united states and eventually be citizens. he wants better border security. how far are you willing to go to meet the demand?

>> we are willing to meet him halfway. that's what the bill does. we get operational control of the southern border. we have homeland security tell us what we need to do, whether we need to use a physical barrier or technological barrier. if there is a barrier we can use for 1/40th the price that's what we should be doing. will hurd says this is a 14th century solution to a 21st century problem. it doesn't make sense to have a physical wall when we can use technology to meet the same goal. >> what about if you get what you want for the dreamers in exchange for the physical wall? would you be willing to go that far? >> we'll consider everything, absolutely. we are willing to meet the president halfway. when he issues veto threats on bipartisan bills, that's not helping us. it's not helping the bipartisan compromise we have. >> deal or no deal? what do you think? >> i hope we can get to a deal. it's a dark day, march 5 now. that's the deadline. >> families are nervous. they want to stay here legally.

they don't want to be forced out of the united states into countries they have never lived in for all practical purposes. >> absolutely. the only reason we are having this concern is they don't have a single piece of paper. they are business owners. they work in the communities, serve in our military. you have heard secretary mattis talk about this extensively. we need to give them the protections they deserve, a path to citizenship. the congressional hispanic caucus and i are working in a way to get that done. we hope we have the will in congress to get there. >> anything going to happen on guns as far as the house of representatives and the u.s. senate is concerned? >> well, it depends. just like daca, do you get the tuesday president, the thursday president? you don't know. he was willing to talk about significant measures in the white house last week. i absolutely think we need -- i'm a cosponsor of the assault weapons ban. we had it for ten years. that's a reasonable place to land. you also heard him talk about the fix nix bill and background

checks. these are reasonable common sense solutions we can have. last time you and i talked was after san bernardino, a tragedy in my home district. 14 people lost their lives to an ar-15-like weapon. this is personal for me and my community. >> presumably you liked what the president said during the meeting with republican and democratic lawmakers at the white house when he seemed to please dianne feinstein who was sitting next to him. not so much john cornan, the republican majority whip. >> the body language was telling there. the white house had to do what they always do. they have to clean up on aisle 4 after the fact. that's unfortunate. but if that president said i want a background check bill, an assault weapons ban, fix nix all in a single bill, we are confident he could muster the senate in order to get a vote. >> he seemed open to raising the age limit to 21 for certain

weapons. >> absolutely. we have seen private industry do that. >> national rifle association opposes that. >> they oppose all these measures, any common sense solution. that's unfortunate. this is where congress can lead. this is what we should be doing. >> he said he's ready to sign a regulation banning bump stocks which you can attach to a rifle to make it like a machine gun. you are with him on that. >> absolutely. let's keep in mind he said he loves daca individuals, too. the proof is in the pudding. we want to see this stuff in writing. he want the president's commitment to meet these issues, whether it is bump stocks or daca, he needs to mean what he says. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. other news we are following including a russian saying she has secrets about the president and she's willing to spill them for a price. the jailhouse interview coming up. plus, the brother of the parkland high school killer speaking out now. what he says he regrets.

the younger brother of the florida school gunman said he feels guilty about the shooting and he wonders whether he could have prevented the massacre. in an interview with investigators zachary cruz discussed his relationship with his brother nikolas cruz seen here during a court appearance. zachary told authorities he bullied nikolas when they were younger. he said he wishes he had been nicer to his brother. the massacre at the stoneman douglas high school left 14 students and three teachers dead. certainly set off a national debate over gun control here in the united states. that debate clearly continues right now. that's it for me. thank you very much for watching. i'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in the situation room.

for our viewers in north america, "newsroom with brooke baldwin" starts right now. thank you so much. good to be back. i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. the president sent shock waves through the market with a trade war the president insisted was a good thing but then a short while ago said that was not going to happen. >> we are not backing down. mexico is -- we have had a bad deal with mexico. very bad deal with canada called nafta. our factories have left our country. our jobs have left our country. for many years nafta has been a disaster. we are renegotiating nafta, as i said i would. if we don't make a deal, i will terminate nafta. if i do make a deal which is fair to the workers and the american people, that would be --
