line, even costing them their farms. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. >> new details in the trade battle between the u.s. and its biggest trading partners, the white house announcing a one month extension for tariffs on cars imported from mexico and canada following a call between president trump and canadian prime minister justin trudeau. and after talks between the president and the big three automakers. in a post on social media, trump says trudeau called to ask what could be done about the tariffs. the president claiming he told trudeau he wasn't doing enough to stop fentanyl from crossing the border. important context here, though customs and border patrol shows just 0.2% of all fentanyl seized by u.s. authorities in 2024 came through canada. it was less than 50 pounds, and since then, the amount seized has been

shrinking. less than half a pound found seized at the northwest border in january. cnn's jeff zeleny is live outside the white house with more details. all right, jeff, tell us about this exemption on autos. and considering these numbers, is it clear what the president actually wants from canada when really the fentanyl is minuscule? >> i mean, brianna, that has been a central question through all of this. what can canada do to really appeal to and perhaps appease donald trump on fentanyl and on immigration? we heard the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, saying yesterday when he directly addressed the president, really raising the question of is this about fentanyl at all? and last night, in the president's address to congress, he laid out several examples and several reasons for why he is imposing tariffs. and fentanyl was not the only thing on the list. so look, the bottom line to all of this is the

president issued that, um, sweeping tariffs earlier in the week and now is only backing off of a reprieve on the three u.s. automakers. and that was from a series of phone calls, even as the president was was working on his speech yesterday. i'm told these three automakers, the ceo of these auto companies called the president. he listened to them. they said that they were at an unfair competitive advantage. so now the president is putting in a one month reprieve, explained by the white house. >> press. >> secretary. >> all right. jeff zeleny, thank you so much. >> we may not have that sound there. >> on any autos coming through usmca. reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on april 2nd. but at the request of the companies associated with usmca, the president is giving them an exemption for one month. so they are not at an economic disadvantage. so the three companies that he spoke to are

stellantis, ford and general motors. they requested the call. they made the ask, and the president is happy to do it. it's a one month exemption. >> so the one month exemption there for these three automakers and asked why only a month? the press secretary went on to say that in one month from now on april 2nd, the president still plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on eu countries and others. so then all companies will be on a level playing field. but again, it raises the question is this going to again create a chaos in the markets? asked about that, they said the president did not make his decision based on the stock market alone, of course, but you can see what the markets have done since they've put this pause on. they've responded going upward just like they went down on monday when he imposed it in the first place. brianna. >> we're keeping an eye on it. it sure is something you call for a soundbite. jeff zeleny, we're going to find it for you, even if it takes us a second. thank you. thank you for the report. boris.

>> stocks are rebounding today as the white house said it would make a one month exception for autos in the escalating trade war. so markets are mostly in the green in late trading today. a big relief after two days of heavy sell offs. cnn's vanessa yurkevich is in new york tracking all of this. vanessa, what is driving investors today? >> yeah, well, the. >> markets have been bouncing around all day, but they are very much up right now. and that is. coming on the news that jeff just talked about. >> the pause for u.s. automakers. >> on these tariffs. that is. >> significant for. >> these companies that do so much business with canada and mexico. look at the dow. >> now. >> almost crossing 600. >> points. nearly erasing. >> losses from yesterday. also the big three automakers. >> stellantis. >> ford, general motors. >> they have been in. >> the green for most. >> of the day. >> and i. >> believe they are. remaining there right now. just taking a look there. all of them up. this is welcome news for the auto industry who was very nervous about what these tariffs would

mean for companies bottom lines and also for u.s. consumers who are obviously buyers of all of these brands. one estimate suggested that because of tariffs, it would cost $3500 to $12,000 more to produce a vehicle. now, this is just a pause. a 30 day pause. obviously, these automakers would like to be exempt, fully part of the reciprocal tariffs that are going to go into effect on april 2nd, are putting tariffs on other countries that are importing foreign vehicles here into the u.s. and part of what donald trump has been trying to do is incentivize these companies. ford, stellantis and general motors, to invest here in the united states to stand up plants and factories here. but the reason that many of these automakers have shifted abroad is because it is cheaper to produce vehicles, and then it is cheaper for u.s. consumers. i also just want to point out, coming later this week, boris, is the jobs

report. that is a key indicator for the u.s. economy. this will be the first complete jobs report under this trump administration. investors will be looking very closely at that report. what it says about the u.s. economy. no doubt, president trump and his administration will be watching very closely. but markets no doubt have been on a wild ride these past 2 to 3 days. and i think one could potentially predict that that is going to continue to happen as they respond very quickly to news. and the news has been very quick changing at every moment. and the markets have responded accordingly. and there they are up right now on this news. >> boris vanessa yurkevich, thank you so much for that update, brianna. >> happening now on capitol hill. elon musk just finished up a lunch meeting with republican senators. then this evening he'll be meeting with the house republican conference, which is all a response to growing complaints. a lot of them that lawmakers are getting about how he has gone about laying off

federal employees and slashing the budget without congressional input. cnn's manu raju is at the capitol. we have cnn senior political analyst mark preston here with us in studio. manu, tell us what you are hearing about the meeting with musk. >> yeah, i just talked to a number of senators who left that closed door meeting. and really, the upshot is that they want more of a say in the process over how these cuts are being implemented. and there is now growing talk among senate republicans about putting together a legislative package to essentially codify the cuts that so far have been done administratively. and a lot of those cuts have been have been rejected by the courts. most notably, just earlier today, the supreme court halting this effort to to essentially stop funding, providing funding through the. usaid program. now, there is some discussion about doing that through a process that would actually allow the senate to adopt those cuts through a simple majority, meaning republicans could do that on their own. and i'm told that when those discussions would happen behind closed doors with elon musk, musk was open to this idea. that is the what

senators said, including senators lindsey graham and ron johnson. in the immediate aftermath of this meeting. >> we need a system where if you see something that you think is not what it was intended, who do you call and how do you fix it? and he said, when i, i want to fix it quickly is what he said. i want to keep the momentum. but from a political point of view, we need to take the work product of doge and put it in a rescission package. >> elon is very up front, he said. they're moving fast. >> it's not going to be perfect. there'll be mistakes made, but we'll correct those mistakes very quickly and setting up a process so he can and his team can be contacted quickly to to reverse mistakes. >> and one of those processes is actually to provide members with a direct way to contact him. i am told that in this closed door meeting that he actually gave out his cell phone numbers to the republican senator in the in the room and really urging them to call him directly if those

concerns they want to raise any concerns, want to coordinate with them better, because that has been one of the major concerns among republican senators and congressmen alike, is that they don't they're getting blindsided by some of these cuts. they're learning about that through the news media. they're getting angry calls from their constituents, and they want to have a better sense of how this is all being done and actually weigh in directly with him. so musk is indicating that he wants to try to collaborate more with republicans and perhaps give them a vote in this process, too. that's something that the white house, of course, would have to sign on to as well. but definitely some interesting developments here as republicans are feeling the heat back home over these cuts and trying to figure out how better to get involved in this process. >> and mark, manu, thank you so much for that. mark. it's interesting because you talk to republicans and they'll say, yeah, you know we support this. but the truth is they're the ones who who are getting they're getting all the pressure on this. they're hearing from their constituents. and when we talk to them, we ask them, what are you hearing? they'll tell

us people are calling us. yes they are. they're definitely giving us an earful on this. >> well. >> you know, there's this old saying that says, don't let your mouth write a check. your tail can't cash that basically says, don't go out there and over promise something that you're not going to be able to deliver in, in politics, that's a very important saying. and guess what? musk is out there doing that right now. and the people who are going to have to deal with these checks being cashed by musk are the same house members that are back home right now. last night we saw donald trump say that doge has saved a couple of hundred billion dollars. i believe i found hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud. doge itself says it has found $105 billion in fraud. here's the deal. there is no evidence what these cuts are. there's no evidence of fraud. there's no evidence of waste. now, i'm not going to say that he's not going to find fraud of waste. it's the united states government. surely he will. but the reality of all this is, though, is he just

thinks that he can get this through with these house republicans and the house republicans just can't deal with him doing it the way he's doing it. >> you're writing checks your body can't cash. that's from top gun. the first one just, you know, that quote. >> it's before top gun. >> okay. come on. i want to go with top gun on this one okay. so also here's the other thing. you have the nrsc chair, richard hudson, telling republicans yesterday to avoid in-person town halls. i want to read to you. i've been talking with a number of veterans who have been fired, and i spoke with one in kansas, a reliable republican voter, a trump voter fired veteran, a federal government who said these skype calls. there's a lot of these senators and congressmen holding these town halls through conference calls. you have constituents who voted for you, and you can't look them in the eye. why not? >> well, you know, you know, not only have they been told by the head of their campaign arm, the house republicans do not do these in-person town halls because they're just going to turn into a disaster. do them

all over the phone. even the house speaker, mike johnson, says the same thing. so imagine this play this out. you have members of congress making these incredible decisions. you know, at least backing these incredible decisions that are being made, but yet not being accountable to their constituents. >> it's cutting them off. and at the same time, talking to this particular veteran cannot get a response from the members office is being very clear. i support president trump, but this is happening to me trying to talk to the constituent services in the office cannot get a response. the effect of not doing these town halls. yes. maybe they avoid a viral moment, but don't they also avoid trying to maybe right some wrongs from people who actually support them politically? >> well, it's interesting too, is, you know, you're talking about veterans and you're very well versed in the military community. you're from a military family. will these become a very important subset of voters in the midterm elections? you know, we talk

about soccer moms previously. we go through and we make a subset of voters who are so important to that election. will it be veterans right now who have been supportive of president trump, who don't like the way that he has handled what's going on at the pentagon? he doesn't like what they're doing at the federal government, or perhaps in the case of the person, you know, they lost their job. >> yeah, it's hard to see how you actually exempt all of them. there's such a big part of the federal workforce, you can't really cut it down without getting some of them. mark, thank you so much. really appreciate it. from handheld signs to color coordinated outfits to just walking out to speaking out, we saw that moment. lawmakers with different ways to show their disapproval during the president's address. and here with the white house is saying about unprecedented direct negotiations with hamas. that and much more coming up on cnn news central. >> cnn news central, brought to you by viking. exploring the world in comfort.

response, in which she said that amid this second trump term, it's easy to get exhausted. but she called for citizens to stay engaged, saying, don't tune out. i wonder how you square that message to voters. don't tune out with your decision to walk out during the speech. >> well, i followed all of the speech, including after i left, but i can tell you that i went because i thought it was important for us as democrats to reclaim the chamber where donald trump fueled an insurrection, where insurrectionists came in and took over that chamber where i was trapped in the gallery. i felt like it was important for me to be there and to listen to him. and i stayed for a good hour, which i think is a is a good amount of time to give a president to get his message across. but unfortunately, what we heard was just lies. lies and more lies, more hatred, more divisiveness and no plans at all for what he's going to do to lower costs for the american people. in fact, he said he

talked about tariffs, and he said that he was going to, you know, we we should expect some hard times ahead. this is the same president who said on day one he was. going to stop inflation. he was going to lower costs for the american people. none of that has come true. so i figured it by an hour. i'd given the guy enough time to get his message across, and i couldn't listen to the lies anymore. >> i have to tell you, congresswoman, i was sitting beside a bipartisan focus group and asked the democrats specifically how they felt about the protests and the demonstrations. most of them were displeased. they saw it as a lack of decorum. that's a sentiment that's been echoed by several of your democratic colleagues, especially in the senate. do you think that is the most effective way to show your dissatisfaction to fight for voters? and i also wonder what your response is to senators who say that you took trump's bait. >> well, i would just say that when you're talking about decorum, it can't be one sided. let us remember that the first

act of decorum or or lack of decorum that often gets raised in these contexts is a republican, joe wilson, yelling, you lie at president barack obama. but that has been followed over and over again. if you recall, marjorie taylor greene heckling joe biden multiple times. i did not say a word during the the speech, the president's speech last night, i had a sign that i held around when he lied, because i think it is important when a president has that kind of bully pulpit to be able to say to the american people, that is actually not true. and unfortunately, there isn't much. fact checking that goes on. or if it goes on, it happens after the speech. and i thought it was important in real time for the american people to be able to see that we had a president up there who lied continuously. so i felt like i kept my part of the bargain in terms of decorum. but i also feel like the president should be held to a standard of

decorum. is it okay for the american people that the president of the united states can get up and just continually lie to the american people? i don't think it is, but that is what happened. and often it is in the context of fueling racism and xenophobia and divisiveness that is absolutely unhelpful to ensuring that we have overall decorum, but more importantly, that we have a democracy, which he is also destroying at this moment. >> congresswoman, i do want to ask you about what options democrats have on capitol hill. speaker johnson is going to need your party to avert a possible shutdown next friday. would you support shutting down the federal government as a way to extract concessions from republicans? >> well, let me be clear. speaker johnson does not need any democratic votes to avoid a shutdown in the house. it is a simple majority. if speaker johnson needs democratic votes because he can't get the votes

on his own side from the majority party, which he controls, then he should talk to us about what would get us to a bipartisan agreement. if he does not want to talk to us, then he should assume that he needs to get the votes all on his side. to date, i don't believe that there has been a conversation with democrats about what we need. if we are going to assist. but again, he's got the majority. it's a simple majority in the house. he doesn't need our votes. we wouldn't be shutting down the government. he would be shutting down the government. >> how do you think a majority of voters who just elected republicans to both chambers would feel about democrats if you voted against keeping the government funded? >> well, once again, republicans have control of the house, the senate and the white house. so i think the majority of voters put republicans in charge. and i think they're looking to see whether republicans can govern or not. if you recall, last year when we did not have control of

the house, but we did have control of the senate and the white house. there were many times when republican republicans could not govern and everything would have shut down because of republicans inability to govern, but because we shared government responsibility, we did come in and save them even when they broke the deal that they made, which i think the majority of americans believe. if you make a deal, you should keep your word. i think now we're in a situation where voters put republicans into office and the house, the senate and the white house, they have the responsibility to govern. let's see if they can do it. if they can't, then they should understand it has to be a bipartisan agreement. we're not going to help them rip programs and services and institutions like the department of education or independent agencies away just because they want to and expect us to vote for that. we're not going to vote to slash medicaid, to slash medicare care, to slash social security. that's not going to happen.

>> sure. one last question on doge. you mentioned the remaking of the federal government, the sort of gutting of these federal agencies. elon musk had this lunch with republican senators. he's expected to brief house republicans later tonight. do you think democrats should also be briefed by elon musk? would you participate if he were to hold something like that for democrats on capitol hill? >> well, i think that it is important that everyone in the trump administration recognize that you have to brief congress, and that includes both democrats and republicans. so, sure, if he wants to come and brief people about what he's doing, though, i'm still not clear. they keep saying that he's not actually in control of doge, but then maybe he is in control of doge. seems to me he's acting like a shadow president, so he's got a lot of authority and responsibility, and we deserve to know what is happening with taxpayer dollars and with congressionally appropriated funds. but there are too many people. i'll just give up. bring up mr. morocco from usaid who refuses to have a public hearing in the house

foreign affairs committee, where i sit to brief us on exactly the unconstitutional actions that are being taken. but what he's planning to do with taxpayer money when congress has actually appropriated and directed funds for a different reason. >> congresswoman pramila jayapal, we'll have to leave the conversation there. appreciate you sharing your point of view. >> thank you boris. appreciate it. >> of course. still ahead. new tariffs bringing new fears for america's farmers. how the escalating trade wars threaten their livelihoods, and what the white house is now revealing after reportedly holding secret talks with hamas. >> maybe if he hadn't been such a, he would have gotten away. >> with it i'm still not sure that you're repentant. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at 9:00 on cnn. >> experience luxury in every drive with the buick envision via tuning technology creates a serene interior, while ambient

>> hostages envoy adam boehler. >> went to. >> doha. >> the capital of qatar, and. >> met with several hamas officials. there have been several meetings between boehler and hamas officials over the last. 2 or 3 weeks. the last one was earlier this week. he met with khalil al-hayya, who is the head of hamas's negotiation team and is the, you know, in practice is the leader of hamas's political wing. and in those meetings, they discussed, first, the americans that are still held by hamas. one of them is alive, edan alexander, but another four americans who are dead and their bodies are being held by hamas. but they also discussed something broader how to use a possible release of those americans as an opening for a broader deal and a long term truce that will, in effect, end the war in gaza. >> so can you talk to us about the timing? you said it was a few weeks ago. explain why this

came about. when it did. >> i think it came about because the trump administration realized that the israeli government at the moment is not willing to take the necessary steps to push this deal forward. on the other hand, president trump is committed to bringing back americans that are held in gaza for more than 500 days, and one of them is alive. and i think that more broadly, strategically, the idea was to see if you can get hamas to do this mini deal with the u.s., whether you can get from there to a broader deal that ends the war. i think the jury is still out about that. the talks are still ongoing. um, steve witkoff, the white house envoy was supposed to go to doha last night. he canceled last minute because hamas refused to move.

um, president trump held several discussions about it today, and i think we might hear from trump later today about this issue. >> okay, that's really interesting. we'll be looking to see what trump says about that. um, talk to us a little bit about how israel is reacting, because the israeli prime minister's office said wednesday in a quite restrained comment it had expressed to the united states. its position regarding direct talks with hamas. we should note the white house says israel was consulted on this. what are you hearing? >> well, brianna, when i read this comment by the prime minister's office, uh, it sort of sounded like something my polish mother would use to tell me. uh, it's, uh, it was very passive aggressive. uh, i don't think the israelis were happy about this at all. um, i think, uh, this puts a lot of pressure on netanyahu, both domestically in israel and also in his

relationship with donald trump, because basically, what donald trump is telling netanyahu right now, if you're not moving with this hostage deal, i'm moving on my own. i'm getting my people out. and this is very bad news for netanyahu. >> he's saying he'll go around him basically right. >> uh, i think it's, you know, it's when you when you look at it, when you take a step back, i think it has a lot of similarities to donald trump's message to ukraine. president zelenskyy. trump wants to end the war in ukraine, and he wants to end the war in gaza. those were two campaign promises. he said it time and time again during the campaign, and now he's implementing his campaign promises and the way to end the war in gaza is to get the hostages out. and the way to get the hostages out is to end the war in gaza. and i think president trump understands it. and this is why he's doing what he's doing.

very heated exchange between massachusetts congresswoman ayanna pressley and the oversight committee chairman, congressman james comer. >> cnn's omar jimenez is here with details on what happened. tell us about this. omar. >> yeah. >> so, look, obviously, this. >> is a hearing over. >> so-called sanctuary cities. >> a lot. >> of the. >> tension that we've seen to this point has come between the four democratic mayors that we have seen and some of the republican members of congress who, of course, make up this committee. but this moment in particular came between a republican member of congress, chair, jim comer, and democratic member of congress ayanna pressley, as she tried to enter into the record. an article noting the crime rates of immigrants versus those of citizens. and this is what happened. >> mr. chair. >> i have several. >> articles. >> i need to enter them. let me just go ahead with the what the articles are, what. >> they. >> speak to, what's the next? article? >> let me proceed. data from

texas shows that u.s. born americans commit more rape and murder than immigrants. >> this trend of you all trying to get thrown out of committee so you can get on msnbc is going to end. we're not going to put up with it. chair procedural subramaniyam. >> of this committee. >> you can go you can go with mr. frost and mr. greene. >> reclaiming my time. >> that's what you want? no, no. mr. president, i've been very i have been very accommodating to you, mr. shubi arun. i take particular umbrage as a survivor of. sexual violence. go. >> i will. >> insert into. >> the record. this is my right. >> thank you. no, no. >> so i. >> will say, overall, the hearing has never gotten to that level. but obviously one of the more intense interactions we've seen over the course of this i should mention too. yes, this is a searing hearing about so-called sanctuary cities. there's not really a single definition of it, but it's

essentially jurisdictions that don't always cooperate with federal immigration actions depending on the situation. and in large part, what we've heard from these mayors is, while there are some instances of migrants committing crimes, some of them violent, some of them after having being held in local police custody, these mayors have argued that overall, they're safer. their cities have been safer as a result of these policies, of their current policies. citing drops in murder over the past few years, which of course corresponds with their respective influxes of migrants as well. those are some of the numbers that we've heard cited by these mayors. but again, they also made a point to emphasize that while they don't necessarily comply with every ice detainer request, for example, they do comply with ice warrants, and they have been very clear about citing the differences between those two situations. >> an explosive hearing omar jimenez. thanks so much for watching it for us. still to

come, trade wars are causing serious anxiety for america's farmers. how much will tariffs hurt the men and women who help feed our country? that story next. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? news saturday on cnn texas was paying the price. >> now taxes. is turbotax beating your last pete rose price when you switch to an expert? now this is taxes. intuit turbotax. >> dry. i still feel pretty. rough or tired with. >> miombo eyes. >> can feel. >> my bow. >> my bow is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye. too much tear evaporation for relief. >> that's my bow. >> oh, yeah. >> remove contact lenses before using my bow. wait at least 30 minutes before putting them back in. eye redness and blurred vision may occur. >> my bow. >> ask your eye doctor about

make of that request from president trump? he's saying there is going to be some disruption. there is going to be some pain. but he hopes it's for the greater good well, i. >> wish he would have. >> looked at what financial shape the. midwest is in. the farming. communities are in, um, like 55% of. farm closures are up, 55%. that's, uh, that's not a sign of a thriving economy that could take a huge hit. >> like this. >> uh, he's picking on some of our best, uh, allies when it comes into agriculture. >> mexico is. >> uh, number one in, uh, in corn and wheat imports. uh, that's what we have the most of in this country is corn and wheat. and and now we're probably going to lose a great customer again. and we just can't keep taking these hits. people don't understand that if we lose $3 a bushel on these trade things, that we can add $3 on to what we want for our

wheat. we have to sell on an open market. we have no choice on what we sell our crops for. so when he tweets, when the president tweeted yesterday, we need to make more farm products and get them out there because we're going to make all kinds of money. it doesn't make any sense because we raise food and we don't have a choice in what we get paid for the food we raise, that's that's taken care of by corporations. >> hmm. i do wonder. how how you experienced the first trump term. he did allocate some $28 billion to farmers affected by the trade war. how are you expecting any potential relief to come around this time? >> you know we lost about, uh, three and a half, $4 a bushel on our wheat, and we got $0.14 back from the government, and it cost the government trillions of dollars. um, soybeans made out pretty good. i think they were $1.30 or $1.40 something. corn,

i think. got 4 or $0.07. so what you're thinking those big payments were did not come to your average farmer out out here, uh, trying to make a living. >> so essentially that money didn't offset the losses. is that correct? >> not even close. >> i did speak with a beef and hog farmer from pennsylvania last night after trump's speech. i wanted to play for you. a soundbite of what he shared with me was his view regarding tariffs on agricultural products. >> we are. >> the breadbasket of the world. they want our products. okay. so they're. going to they're going to. >> hold us. >> hostage on our agriculture products, but they're going to come back and they're going to buy them. >> so you're not worried about tariffs? >> i think i think we're going to take a dip in our products. but it's going to come back. >> do you think that those customers as you describe them from mexico and canada and other countries would be able to find

the same quality product at the same price elsewhere? would these tariffs essentially take your product off the market? >> i believe that if someone comes to buy something from him and you slap them in the face, they're probably not going to come back to buy from you again. um, if you know, that's not how business and that's not a good business works. uh, we work with each other, and this is not working with people. this is just, uh, forcing us to into something that we don't want. it's, uh. canada bringing in fentanyl. what does that have to do with me making a living on my farm? that's a promise he made to clean up the drugs. why? why do farmers and everyone else in this country have to pay the price for that? >> bob carlin will leave the conversation there. thank you so much for sharing your perspective. >> thank you. >> stay with cnn news central.
