2:01 am
watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. >> i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. the first shots fired in a trade war. china, mexico and canada respond to donald trump's new tariffs. we'll look at how they're threatening to respond and how the tariffs will affect the bottom line for millions of americans. one newspaper calls it the dumbest trade war in history. plus, investigators are hard at work after two deadly plane crashes in two days. we'll have new details from both scenes. >> live from atlanta. this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. >> we begin this hour with donald trump ramping up his dispute with america's biggest trading partners, imposing new tariffs on mexico, canada and china. the u.s. chamber of commerce is slamming the move, warning it will only raise prices for american families. trump slapped a 25% tariff on
2:02 am
all imports from mexico, and most goods from canada, and a 10% duty on chinese imports. he signed the orders at his mar a lago club on saturday, fulfilling a promise he made on the campaign trail. but he admitted that it will have an impact on the american people. the white house warns those tariffs could go up if mexico, canada or china fight back, but that's already happening. canada's prime minister and mexico's president have now announced retaliatory tariffs. >> tonight i am announcing canada will be responding to the u.s. trade action with 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of american goods. this will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of american products in 21 days
2:03 am
time to allow canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives. >> some of the top imports from canada to the u.s. include oil, minerals, cement, wood and paper products. mexico is america's largest trade partner, exporting $467 billion worth of goods to the u.s. last year. things like fruits, vegetables, steel, beer and alcohol. mexico's president, claudia sheinbaum, says she will implement a plan that includes tariff and non-tariff measures against the u.s., but she didn't elaborate on what that would involve. here she is. >> when we negotiate with other nations, when we talk with other nations, always with our heads held high, never bowing our heads, we are equal with all the nations of the world. mexico is free, independent, and a sovereign country, and that is in the way which we defend mexicans and our homeland. >> and officials in china are promising countermeasures with these new u.s. tariffs. cnn's mark stuart has more now on how beijing is responding.
2:04 am
>> we know that china will file a complaint with the world trade organization saying this 10% tariff seriously violates the rules. but beyond that, it's not very clear. right now, we are in the midst of the chinese new year. so the government has not had its typical question and answer session with reporters. so as far as the specific countermeasures, we may not know until perhaps mid to later this week. it's something we're going to keep a watch on. but i did talk to one expert who suggests that what china can do is perhaps limited in the sense that it's already dealing with trade issues with europe concerning electric vehicles and solar panels, essentially flooding some european markets with cheap items in a way to attract business for chinese companies. that's been a big point of contention right now between china and europe, and taking up a lot of energy there.
2:05 am
in addition, the chinese economy right now, it's kind of shaky. people aren't spending as much money as they did in the past. there are remnants of a housing crisis, so that too may limit exactly what kind of punishments china will do. typically, when we look at this us-china relationship, it's very much for tat. you do something to hurt me. i'm going to do something to hurt you back. but it's not clear if china has that leverage. in fact, it's quite possible that it just may try to leverage its supply chain and not institute any kind of tariffs, as we traditionally have seen. but none of this really is a surprise to china. this is something that president trump talked about during the campaign. this possibility of tariffs. china also knows just how fragile the world landscape is. china has depended on the u.s. very much as a large export market. but in recent months we have seen it expand its export reach, not just depending on the united states, but looking at
2:06 am
places such as southeast asia, latin america, africa, even russia in an attempt to spread its business. also, it's important to note that china that the united states said it's instituting these tariffs because it's not satisfied with how china has been responding to the fentanyl crisis. china did respond to that, saying it has shown its support to the u.s., but the fentanyl crisis is very much an american problem. >> many corporations and business groups are furious over the new tariffs imposed by president trump. but one fuel manufacturing leader says he's hopeful the u.s. can come to a solution with its neighbors before customers feel the sting of rising prices. cnn's matt egan breaks down how these tariffs could affect consumers, amid what the wall street journal is calling the dumbest trade war in history. >> it is really. >> important to stress that these tariffs represent a far more aggressive use of trump's
2:07 am
favorite economic weapon than anything he did during the first term. we're talking about hitting around $1.4 trillion of imports with tariffs. that is more than triple what was done during the first term. they create leverage. he feels that they're necessary to try to reach a deal on legal immigration and the flow of drugs into the u.s., but mary lovely, she's a researcher at the peterson institute. she told me that this is a huge gamble. she said it's a recipe for slowing down the economy and increasing inflation. she told me that she's very confident that these tariffs will increase consumer prices. maybe not overnight, but most noticeably at the grocery store, because when you look at u.s. imports of food, we do import a lot from mexico and from canada. mexico was the number one source of agricultural goods coming into the u.s., including number one from for fruit and vegetable.
2:08 am
mexico and canada were also one and two. when you look at grains that are imported into the u.s. so there is the potential that these tariffs could increase prices at the grocery store. we know that is a major frustration for consumers. that's just one example, though. that's just food. there's also car prices that could go up because the auto industry is very closely linked together. in north america, energy to the u.s. imports a lot of oil from mexico and from canada. that's why analysts have said that a 25% tariff would likely increase gas prices, especially in the midwest and around the great lakes. and so, look, that's why we are starting to hear increasing concern from people in the business community, from trade experts, from economists. you mentioned that wall street journal, scathing op ed that was published in today's paper. the title was the dumbest trade war in history. the journal argued
2:09 am
that, okay, tariffs on china is one thing, but to hit our closest neighbors with tariffs, they say, makes no sense. if these tariffs go into effect and if prices start to go significantly higher, i think we're going to hear even more criticism from the business community because this is something that would create real risk to the economy. >> i spoke to ryan patel from the drucker school of management at claremont graduate university about the potential consequences for businesses and supply chains if these tariffs aren't just a negotiating tactic. here he is. >> the challenges for businesses, if you think about it, isn't really the immediate impact, but how do they pivot? they must evolve. and then obviously pass down to the consumer. so if you think about the short term impact, i think about maybe if this goes on for the next 1 to 3 months, it's really businesses trying to do their best job to delay the price increases. right. that's what they're trying to do to keep those margin margins. but
2:10 am
after that, kim, it is going to be passed on. all the strategies are going to be passed on to the consumer, and they're going to start to feel it. >> yeah. and supply chains are so interconnected. so if you know the the it costs the grocery store, let's say 25% more to import an avocado and then 10% more to, to transport it to the store because gas costs more. i mean, that adds up, right? >> yeah. >> you know, i think this is where if you look at the numbers, right, you see, you know, the u.s., you know, is being easier on the energy costs because they know that, you know, up to 10%. i think as of right now, if they did it more, the consumer would feel it right away. so if you think about the less flexible supply chains that you mentioned, that could be easily impact quicker, like examples like electronics, clothing, some produce and the raw materials, we'll see those a lot more faster for the consumer to feeling that. and i think again, compounding with the energy costs is why i think the way president trump was laying out his plan. to me, it's kind of a wait and see approach. he didn't use all of
2:11 am
it right away. there's a i mean, if you think of logic, the question becomes, what is it you're trying to gain in these bilateral deals, and what places is he looking for to help? what industries? >> yeah, that is the question. in the meantime, though, we do have this, you know, basically a trade war on the wall street journal editorial board called it the dumbest trade war in history, because, of course, the nations affected are also responding with tariffs. so everyone is hurt here on all sides. i want to play a clip from the head of the world trade organization talking to cnn last weekend about trump's threat of tariffs before they came in. so here she is. >> actually i've been saying to members at davos, let's chill. let's not get too overexcited. and to our members i've also been saying, look, let's not do any for tat. it's not when you hear something from one member, you immediately apply counter tariffs. >> but of course right away now
2:12 am
we are seeing for tat tariffs. so her message to chill out not exactly resonating here. >> yeah. and i think i mean it is it's kind of hard where we think of the global economy has evolved and how we define value. it's not just tariffs. we think about security. it's tied into it. so it's not just, you know, the families of jobs, the agriculture, the industries that can go down the list. kim, that is affected. and to be able to send that strong message is, is something that seems like the countries are not willing to sacrifice. >> the trump administration is making its america first policy known on the international stage in other ways as well. marco rubio landed in panama on saturday, his first trip as u.s. secretary of state. the first leg on his central american tour could be the most contentious. president trump says panama is overcharging american ships using the waterway, and he says he wants to retake control of the canal, which the u.s. built decades ago. panama says the
2:13 am
canal is theirs. rubio will also visit el salvador, costa rica, guatemala and the dominican republic. the tour is meant to drive president trump's policies forward. some u.s. and aid officials are issuing warnings about the recent u.s. freeze on foreign assistance, and they say that could undermine the president's efforts to fight illegal migration and drug trafficking into the u.s. a pilot may have made a last minute attempt to avoid wednesday's deadly mid-air collision near washington. still ahead, investigators announce a frantic maneuver in the final moments of the flight before the plane and helicopter went down. plus, the fighting in gaza may have stopped, but israel is carrying out deadly strikes in the west bank. we'll have the latest just ahead here on cnn newsroom and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on his way here to the u.s. for the next phase of indirect ceasefire talks with hamas. we'll look at where they stand. ahead here on cnn newsroom. please stay with us.

2:18 am
medevac jet in philadelphia less than 48 hours later. now, preliminary data shows the pilot of the passenger plane tried to pull up just before the collision. experts say that would suggest an attempt to avoid the chopper, and the helicopter itself may have been flying above its designated altitude, according to initial data announced by investigators, all 67 people on both aircraft are believed to be dead, and investigators acknowledge the toll on their families. >> i spent. >> several hours with them. >> today. >> there's more. some new. there's some that have been there for three days and some that want to give us hugs, some that are just mad and angry. they're just all hurt. and they still want answers, and we want to give them answers. and the most devastating thing, i guess today was they watched the news last night. they know their loved ones are recovering. they're thinking, is it going to take longer? am i going to
2:19 am
find my loved one? how will this affect it? that's hard. i mean, it's horrible. >> investigators in philadelphia are sifting through debris, looking for any clue about what may have caused friday's crash of a medevac plane there. the jet plowed into a busy commercial and residential area. danny freeman reports from the scene. >> that's right. >> absolutely heartbreaking. weekend here in philadelphia. >> after that terrifying. >> crash back on friday evening. and there are still so many challenges ahead to finding out exactly what happened here and what went so wrong. the process of just recovering and removing all the debris from that plane crash is expected to take days, if not weeks, after so much destruction in this residential neighborhood behind me here in philadelphia. so here's what we know so far. a medevac jet carrying six people took off from northeast philadelphia airport at around 6 p.m. on friday evening. the plane was headed to missouri and then ultimately mexico, where everyone on board that plane was. from now on. that plane
2:20 am
where two pilots, a doctor, a paramedic and a pediatric patient and her mother, that child had been receiving care at shriners children's hospital in philadelphia. and the girl and her mother, they were heading home to mexico. but the ntsb confirmed saturday the plane was only in the air for just about a minute before it came crashing down. the ntsb also said that plane did not reach out to air traffic control in that minute. all six on board unfortunately killed. and then we learned on saturday, a seventh person who was in a car on the street was also killed as a result of that crash. at least 19 people were injured, and local officials worry the ultimate casualty number may go up in the coming days. now, the ntsb also said saturday that they have not yet located the cockpit voice recorder. this could be crucial in terms of understanding what happened in the moments before that crash. they said it is likely damaged, but they're actually asking for the public's help who live in this specific area to stay vigilant, saying if people are able to
2:21 am
find parts of the plane which may include parts of this cockpit voice recorder, the ntsb says that it's very good at fixing broken recorders like this. take a listen. >> we have. >> an incredible. >> team at our. >> headquarters. >> our office of research and engineering, who have. significant expertise on repairing damaged cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders. in fact, we're known throughout the world. other countries send their black boxes to us to fix, and so hopefully once we can find it, that's the biggest question right now. we can take that back to our lab and evaluate it. >> now all day saturday, we saw local, state and federal officials and investigators all over the scene combing through debris, really searching block by block. this entire area, this crash site. so massive. impacting cars, impacting homes. but the main focus and hope of
2:22 am
all the local officials here just to keep those casualty numbers down. danny freeman, cnn, philadelphia. >> israeli strikes in the west bank area of jenin have killed five people, including a 16 year old boy. the palestinian health ministry says three people were killed in one of the strikes and two in another. the israeli military says it was targeting terrorists. israel launched a military operation in jenin just days after the ceasefire in gaza. since then, at least 20 people have been killed, including a two year old girl. the next phase of indirect israel-hamas ceasefire talks are scheduled to begin next week. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu left for washington, d.c. a short time ago. he's due to meet with president trump there on tuesday. and egypt says a hamas delegation is expected in cairo. this comes after the latest round of hostage and prisoner releases on saturday.
2:23 am
cnn jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond shows you how they went. >> him. >> keith siegel children have waited too long for this moment. for 51 days, their mother was held hostage by hamas. it took another 433 days for their father, a dual american israeli citizen, to come home. in kibbutz gaza, friends and family began the day huddled together, watching the news, anxiously waiting for his release. >> excited and scared. >> anxious hopeful and just praying that. >> that soon we see keith. >> coming home. >> the moment keith emerges from the hamas vehicle, the room goes silent. and then, as he steps onto the stage, gasps. >> whoa! wow! >> followed by a pressure valve release. and then come tears,

2:30 am
states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is cnn newsroom. mexico canada and china are hitting back at the u.s. after president donald trump imposed aggressive new tariffs on all three countries, several corporations and business groups are lashing out, warning trump that his tariffs will actually make things more expensive for americans. he placed a 25% tariff on all imports from mexico, and most goods from canada. energy imports from canada will face a 10% tariff. trump's new tariff for chinese imports is also set at 10%, and canada and mexico have now announced retaliatory tariffs. and china is also vowing to take countermeasures in their first big move since the bruising presidential election loss in november, democrats have chosen a new leader for the democratic national committee. ken martin spent 14 years as the leader of the minnesota democratic-farmer-labor party and eight years as the vice chair of the dnc. he beat out a crowded field of contenders for his new role. martin says he's
2:31 am
ready to get to work and take his fight to donald trump. well, craig snyder is the former director of the haley voters for harris and the ceo of icahn global consulting. he's also the author of the newly released political thriller guile. and he joins me now from philadelphia. thanks so much for being here with us. so just to start off, your thoughts on the president's new tariffs. i mean, he's doing what he promised. and he claims if prices go up, americans will understand. i mean, will they? >> well, that remains to be seen. >> but what. >> is clear is that prices will go up. it's been estimated that the average cost of a new car in the united states will go up by $3,000. it's a very significant increase. gasoline will go up, particularly in the midwest. food will go up everywhere in the country. um, it's a real test of the loyalty of particularly the sort of the newcomers to the trump coalition as to whether or not they'll
2:32 am
stay, even as prices go up. at the same time, this has the potential to really destabilize the mexican economy. and there's almost nothing you could say about how to promote as opposed to stop immigration at the southern border. then let's destabilize the mexican economy. that that could be rocket fuel to the immigration problem rather than a solution. >> to it. yeah, it's fairly ironic. certainly a political gamble there. and we'll have to see how democrats react to this. certainly many of them want to prioritize economic issues now over social issues. they're kind of at a crossroads to start with a new chair for the dnc, as i mentioned earlier, what do you think about what their choice says about the direction of the party? >> well, both the choice of of martin for chair and, and david hogg, the young, the young activist for vice chair. um, i think indicate that at least the institutional democrats that the people who got to vote on this,
2:33 am
um, are in the camp that says that the reason why they lost was that the party didn't go to it, didn't go far enough to the left, rather than an increasing number of of sort of democratic, uh, you know, regulars who feel the opposite, who feel that that the party lost because it went too far to the left. so there is a real, uh, you know, struggle that's going on inside the party wasn't so much reflected in yesterday's institutional vote, but at a at a broader level, there's a real struggle for the future and how to respond to this catastrophic loss that occurred back in november. >> yeah, i want to dig into that. you know, the new chair has to wrestle with that question. and he said that of how to challenge trump. and he promised to take the gloves off. but the recurring word i'm hearing from both, um, democratic politicians and democratic voters i talked to is exhaustion. now, democratic politicians, they're they're kind of caught in this no win. they don't want to rush to the
2:34 am
microphones after every perceived outrage, but they don't want to leave a void, which is what seems to be happening. they seem kind of rudderless and leaderless right now as as tommy vietor said on a podcast a few days ago, it's the trump show all day, every day. >> well, i think that's that's right. to a certain extent, it's inevitable. uh, the presidency is the bully pulpit. it's the biggest megaphone in the world. and when you've just lost power in the way that the democrats have, you're not going to coalesce very quickly around, uh, you know, an individual, uh, leader or a particularly strong voice. there have to be multiple voices. but i think more than more than that is you have this disagreement over what the right way is to attract voters, what the right way is to sort of fix the mistakes that were made in the last election cycle. and you also have a real disagreement about the way to be in resistance or in opposition to trump. uh, with, with some folks like senator fetterman in my
2:35 am
state, in pennsylvania saying we have to find as much common ground as we possibly can, and then we'll disagree where we have to. whereas you have a lot of other folks who are saying we have to disagree on almost everything. we have to take a kind of a scorched earth approach and try to deny trump wins across the board. i think the rubber is going to meet the road on all of that. as we watch what happens in the very closely divided house of representatives, will, uh, speaker johnson be able to rely on any democratic votes to get things done, like raise the debt ceiling and pass appropriations? those those tests are coming up very soon, and the democratic party is going to have to make up its mind. >> yeah, well, and i'll add senator klobuchar to to that list of people who have kind of said, listen, we have to we have to find common ground, but stand our ground on on certain issues. um, they face that that tough choice about what to do, as you say. and they have a lot of work to do to recapture, uh, the, you
2:36 am
know, the popular sentiment. i mean, according to a quinnipiac poll that was out a few days ago, democrats unfavorability has never been higher since they started measuring it in 2008. i mean, it's at a historic level right now. >> yeah, i think that's i think that is correct. the the last election came down to a referendum on the democratic brand, and that brand did not fare very well. uh, having said that, um, trump and his people now have the responsibility of governing. um, and we're going to see, i think, some very unpopular policies that may well force this this sort of sliver of american voters who are swing voters, who decide, uh, our all of our recent elections. um, while you have a fairly substantial number that are regularly locked in to either the democratic or the republican side, these swing voters, i think, may swing again when they see some of the effects of of
2:37 am
