5:00 pm
of topics, including the war in ukraine, saying russia would be coming to the table in a meeting in saudi arabia this week. he also said he was close to lifting a pause on u.s. intelligence to ukraine. but the ukraine must be what he said. serious about striking a deal. cnn senior white house producer betsy klein is joining us now. and betsy, he covered a lot of ground, taking a number of questions while he was on air force one. start first with what he was saying about ukraine and russia. we did get some new details there. >> that's right. jessica. the president speaking to reporters as he made his way from the palm beach area back to washington, where a busy week ahead awaits him and his team, notably on the topic of russia and ukraine. as you mentioned. the president said he was optimistic about that critical minerals deal that was halted after that contentious meeting with president zelenskyy just over a week ago, and asked about the pause he
5:01 pm
be present this week for talks in saudi arabia. i have circled back with the white house to clarify if that has is going to be with secretary of state marco rubio, who is going to be meeting with ukrainian officials while in saudi arabia this week. he also suggested that pretty good results will come out of that meeting. he would not take a question about whether putin was disrespecting him by continuing to attack ukraine on other topics. he defended supreme court justice amy coney barrett, who has come under attack from some of his allies in recent weeks. he said she is a very good woman. on the tariff backlash after he has put tariffs in place on mexico and canada and reversed course for a pause until april 2nd. he said it will be the greatest thing we have ever done as a country and
5:02 pm
then with days to go until a key government funding deadline, the president said that democrats want to shut down the government and conceded that it could happen. lawmakers are set to vote on a key bill to fund the government. a stopgap bill later this week. he also, jessica, downplayed any concerns of tension between his cabinet secretaries and elon musk. of course, that coming after that explosive new york times reporting on a major fallout at that meeting earlier this week. >> and, betsy, i just want to underscore one thing because, again, this is this is happening in real time as we're bringing it to people on the issue of russia and ukraine. just confirming what you were saying there. so we all got it straight that he did say that russia would be taking part in that, that you're trying to now figure out based on reaching out to your sources in what capacity that might be. >> yeah, that's exactly right. i mean, our colleague matthew chance in moscow had reported that there would be a
5:03 pm
continuation of those talks that happened just a few weeks ago between top russian officials and top u.s. officials. that first time included steve witkoff, marco and mike waltz, the national security adviser, and that that would be happening in the coming days. we don't have clarity on who specifically is going to be part of this meeting, or whether the president could have potentially misspoken. but we have reached out to the white house for more details on that meeting. >> okay. thank you. and then also to you know, we look ahead to this, this government shutdown. and it was interesting to hear the president saying he thought that it could shut down. he said he didn't think it would. he thinks that cr is going to pass. but of course that's going to come down first and foremost to can they get it out of the house and can house republicans stick together? >> yeah. not only do they need to stick together, but they have such tight margins. they are going to need some democratic votes, we expect. and the president, the trump administration has already begun taking those mandatory steps
5:04 pm
toward preparing for a government shutdown on friday, sending that mandatory guidance to agencies telling them they need to get their plans in place for a potential shutdown when the clock strikes midnight on friday. >> all right, betsy, thank you. and listen, when we brought that to you, we missed the top portion of that. so i want to play what we missed earlier. so let's listen to that. >> have you made a final decision about what sanctions or tariffs you might impose on russia and when that might be? >> we're looking at a lot of things. we have big meetings coming up, as you know, in saudi arabia, that's going to include russia. it'll be ukraine. we'll see if we can get something done. i'd like to get something done. a lot of people died this week, as you know, in ukraine, not only ukrainians but russians. so i think everybody wants to see it get done. we're going to make a lot of progress. i believe this week. >> disrespecting you by attacking ukraine. when you find out who president putin disrespecting you by attacking ukraine, when you're trying to make peace with them. >> what did he do? >> well, he's attacking ukraine.
5:05 pm
>> is he disrespecting me? who are you with? >> i'm michael birnbaum, the washington post. >> you've lost a lot of credibility. go ahead. what else. >> mr. president? robert. go ahead. >> americans have seen their retirement accounts fall in recent day. they're getting very nervous about these tariff conversations. >> oh, i think the tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we've ever done as a country. it's going to make our country rich again. we have many companies, as you know, auto companies are opening up plants now. we've had 4 or 5 announced already, but many more are coming. and we're basically going to take back the money. a lot of the money that we've given away over many decades, we've lost our jobs, we've lost our factories, we've lost 90,000 factories since the beginning of nafta. it's not that long ago. 90,000 factories. think of that and we're going to get them back, and they're coming back and they're coming back in records. look at what happened with the big chip company, the biggest in the world, by far the
5:06 pm
most powerful chip company in the world from taiwan. and they're going in with $200 billion of money, and they're going to build something that's going to give us 35, 40% of the chip market in one just in one company. no, it's going to bring it back. and i think it's going to make us bring us to a level that we've never had before. >> they're going to be. >> all right. again. that was president trump just a few moments ago, betsy, while we were playing that clip, you have some new reporting on these russia and ukraine talks coming up in saudi arabia. >> yeah. jessica, i just heard from a source familiar with the plans who tells me that there will be separate talks between the u.s. and russian officials in saudi arabia this week, confirming what the president just said moments ago on air force one. there will be separate talks between the u.s. and russia. >> say, i'm sorry, betsy, can you repeat that one more time yeah, yeah. >> a source familiar tells me there will be discussions
5:07 pm
between russian officials and the u.s. officials in saudi arabia this week. this is separate from the existing talks between the u.s. and ukrainian officials that secretary of state marco rubio is set to participate in. >> all right. betsy klein, with the very latest there. thank you so much for that. let's bring in cnn military analyst cedric leighton. thanks so much for being here with us. we're just getting this information now from president trump with a few more details as we head into this very big week in this, this russia's war on ukraine and potential, these talks, as they try to find a peace deal here. one, let's start first with this new information that the separate talks will be happening with russia and also with ukraine as they work toward a peace deal. does that surprise you? >> not really. jessica, i think what you're looking at is kind of a realization of president trump's idea that he wants to take not only what is happening in ukraine, but have a grand
5:08 pm
bargain with russia. and what i mean by that is that he wants to basically smooth over and improve relations with the russians as starting right now. and so he's using the opportunity he and his team are using the opportunity to do that in saudi arabia. and so from a logistical standpoint, and, you know, within, you know, the white house parameters, that makes a lot of sense to do that. >> it was also interesting to hear him say that no one has cards right now. neither russia nor ukraine. we've heard him say that about ukraine over and over and over again. but to hear him say that about russia was interesting. >> it was. and i think that that is, you know, something to take note of because the russians have had a lot of difficulty. you know, when you compare what ukraine has been able to do in the past three years, since the february 2022 invasion of
5:09 pm
ukraine by russia, the ukrainians have been able to hold on at least to their sovereignty, and about 80% of their territory, and not in a negligible feat given the size of russia, both in terms of population and in terms of military size. and what, you know, i think the president is kind of seeing here is maybe somewhat the reality of the situation that russia has thrown in a lot of troops, a lot of war material into the fight, and they have not really succeeded in achieving their goals. and that goal being ultimately to subjugate ukraine. they failed to do that. and that is something that, you know, of course, is, i think, a major factor in the president's statement right now. >> and we also heard, colonel, in the suggestion from the president that the pause on intelligence sharing with ukraine could end soon. how important would that be for. >> that is hugely important for
5:10 pm
kyiv. >> we've already seen the situation where i think the pause in intelligence sharing was a major mistake by the u.s., actually. but if it's coming back, that is a good sign. we've seen that it's affected targeting by the ukrainians. they haven't been able to target entities in russia. they haven't been able to as effectively as they had before. they also didn't get advance warning of a lot of the russian strikes, where they would have normally had some advance warning from u.s. derived intelligence. and that is something that has cost civilian lives. we have at least 23 civilians dead in ukraine over the past two days, and that is really the result, possibly from this failure to provide intelligence to the ukrainians. and this reversal will be a very good thing for the ukrainians if it actually happens. >> the president was also asked
5:11 pm
about the escalation in russian attacks over the last couple of days, as he that that's happening, as he is stressing the need for a peace deal. he didn't answer that question. he he didn't he but he wouldn't really acknowledge that. reporter. but the fact remains that russia is increasing its attacks on ukraine, while while there is all of this pressure on ukraine to come to a peace deal and russia is just amping up its attacks. >> yeah, that's exactly right. and that goes back to your previous question, jessica, about the intelligence sharing. the intelligence sharing is, you know, really important because what it does is it really takes what america does best in, you know, its military intelligence efforts, which is to provide tactical warning to military forces, to operational forces. and we're transferring that capability to the ukrainians. once that capability goes away, especially if you're used to
5:12 pm
using it, then you have a much more difficult time seeing what's going on on the battlefield. and what you know. it's unfortunate that president trump was ignoring that reporter, i believe, from the washington post. i because the question was actually quite a sound one. and the russians were taking advantage very clearly of the lack of intelligence that the ukrainians were dealing with. and that, you know, was basically trying to the russians trying to gain as much ground as possible, as much advantage as possible before the talks in saudi arabia. so that's that's, i think, a major, major issue that, you know, can't happen again, if we want ukraine to remain as a viable force in that part of europe. >> all right. colonel cedric leighton, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> you bet. jessica. >> more news when cnn newsroom comes back. >> when it comes to rooting out
5:13 pm
corruption, do the fbi's ends justify the means? >> it was humiliating. it's an embarrassment for the country. >> the united states of scandal with jake tapper tonight at 9:00 on cnn. >> okay. remember the deal for lines on verizon? $25 each. >> and iphone 16 pro. >> we all get one. that's not on us. it is on them. >> i'm going in. hi. we're here for the. >> unlimited plan. $25 a line. >> yeah. >> and iphone 16 pro, one for each of you. yeah, but it's it's on us. we got you. >> right now. every family gets our best price. $25 a line and iphone 16 pro with apple intelligence. get four on us only on verizon. >> that was actually easier than we thought. >> okay, everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. >> ensure with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health and ensure complete with 30g of protein.

5:18 pm
negotiations between ukraine and russia. as you know, we've heard him say that about ukraine many times. but he did say it about russia this time as well. we also learned that russia will have talks, separate talks as well in saudi arabia this week when they are also having talks with ukraine. what do you think about how all of this is shaping up, and what do you think is the most realistic outcome from this week? >> more important than what i think is what my constituents and americans broadly think? i spent yesterday in town halls, including in the biggest city in my district, which voted for donald trump last year, and americans are irate at what they saw in the oval office between him and vladimir zelenskyy. they felt ashamed. they felt afraid to see a commander in chief that week in front of vladimir putin. donald trump is wrong that ukraine doesn't have the cards with nato support, with an economic lifeline, ukraine can win this war. they can have a secure eastern border. they can
5:19 pm
have freedom of navigation in the black sea. they can accede to the european union, and they can be sovereign, free and democratic. but when he negotiates against himself, when he sends a junior varsity squad to go out there against the kremlin's top technocrats, then yeah, he's given more of the cards to russia. so given this situation, what we need is for congressional republicans to distance themselves from donald trump to demonstrate bipartisan support for ukraine, and to work with the europeans to unfreeze the russian assets held in brussels and provide those monies for ukraine to secure its eastern border with a million man army that it's going to need. >> what what is your biggest concern with with how this is playing out and what happens to ukraine, even if they do get to if they achieve a deal, a cease fire. what are you what are you concerned about? >> well, there's the macro concern that for the first time in 70 years, an american president doesn't know good from evil. he can't even say
5:20 pm
that russia started this war, that ukraine is the good guy, that americans want to see the country fighting for freedom and democracy to win that war. so that's a that's a real problem. but then the more acute issue is for ukraine. how do they secure their eastern border with more than a thousand miles long? they're going to need probably between between 20 and $40 billion a year. they're going to need to build a multi-layered defense, probably a front line of at least 500,000 troops, and then a strategic ready reserve that can respond to gaps that get punctured by russian advances. and then finally, air defenses for their cities and critical infrastructure. all of that is fundable. all of that is fieldable, but it does require france, germany and the u.s. congress to agree to unfreeze those russian assets held in brussels. about $300 billion worth and send that to ukraine to field the army they need. it requires proactive workarounds from donald trump's
5:21 pm
intransigence and pro-putin policy. >> i also separately want to ask you about the house republicans putting out this bill over the weekend to fund the government. you all have. you're going to have a choice to make as to whether you want to back that bill or not, or do you plan to support it. >> as written? no. but speaker johnson can earn democratic votes. republicans are in charge of the presidency, the senate, the house. it's on them to fund the government. it's on them to govern. and democrats want to work with them. i'll give a few ways that he could get to yes. one, he could offer to democrats that we are going to extend the tax cuts for the middle class, but not for the 1%. the trump tax cuts give the lion's share of the benefits to the 1%. we could significantly reduce the cost of this bill and thereby avoid having to cut medicaid, but still extend the higher standard deduction. the child tax credit for the middle class democrats will work with speaker johnson on that. another way that he could get to yes, with me at least, is if he put back in the drug pricing provisions
5:22 pm
that would save taxpayers billions of dollars and lower co-pays at the pharmacy counter, but that he took out in december because and only only in 2024, because elon musk tweeted about pharmacy benefit managers and he got scared. mike johnson puts those prescription drug reforms back in this bill. we have a real negotiation. >> and yet it seems like they're not apt to do that at this moment in time. are you prepared to shut down the government over this? >> republicans are the ones who are in control of the house. it will be republicans who shut down the government if they don't negotiate with democrats for measures that are going to actually help the middle class, because right now the middle class is suffering from taxes through donald trump's tariffs. they are suffering from higher home insurance and car insurance bills coming from his economic policies. they're looking down the barrel of medicaid cuts. they're worried about the privatization of social security. and we need to get them some wins, or we are not
5:23 pm
getting to. yes. >> all right, congressman jake, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks, jess. >> still to come, how beijing is preparing for a costly trade war as trump moves full steam ahead with tariffs targeting chinese goods. >> on. >> twitter. that's a great name. >> we invented a whole new thing. >> no one could possibly have understood where it was going twitter. >> breaking the bird premieres tonight at ten on cnn. >> you know what's brilliant? boring. think about it. boring makes vacations happen. early retirements possible, and startups start up. that's why pnc bank strives to be boring with your money. the pragmatic, calculated kind of boring. >> what happens when one of the most famous dunkers of all time goes to the greatest lobster? first of all, time. >> i make red lobster famous. no, blake. dunking happens. yeah. you're right. >> create your own lobster lover's dream with 2 or 3

5:28 pm
up for each other and for the canadian way of life. so let me ask you who's ready to play? >> let's go now to cnn's paula newton live in ottawa for reaction. paula, how does carney plan to both navigate the tariff threats from president trump? and he's also keep in mind going to have to be running for prime minister as well. >> absolutely, jessica. >> and that's set to happen. look, he's going to be prime minister in a matter of days. likely there will be an election called in canada in a matter of weeks. a lot to deal with, right? and keep in mind, jessica, this is a rookie politician facing a conservative leader, pierre poilievre, who is a career politician. in the face of all of these tariff threats and more coming from the trump administration. he had a remarkable win. their overwhelming 86%. but more than that, jessica. donald trump has completely refashioned this race
5:29 pm
before he was inaugurated. pierre poilievre, the conservative leader who is, by the way, hailed by many in maga as a conservative, as a good conservative who's really taking it to the liberals, in their words. but a certain point in time, in the last few months, the conservatives were way ahead. the race has been completely refashioned by donald trump, and the threats he has made to the canadian economy, many wanting a safe pair of hands. a trained economist, as mark carney is, it seems to really try and take this fight to the white house. i want you to listen now to more of mark carney's speech. >> and donald trump, as we know, has put as the prime minister just said, unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living. he's attacking canadian families, workers and businesses, and we cannot let him succeed. and we won't. we
5:30 pm
won't. and to respond, my government will put into action our plan to build a stronger economy, to create new trading relationships with reliable trading partners. and to secure our borders. and my government will keep our tariffs on until the americans show us respect. >> now, jessica, as we just heard, donald trump on air force one saying that, look, the tariffs are going to remain in place. they're going to continue. and his words, the president's words, it's going to be the greatest thing we've ever done. that is what faces someone who was a central bank governor here in canada and also in england. and look, they're going to lean into this canadian unity, take the fight to the white house kind of campaign. but it is going to be tough in terms of he's really going to have to learn on the road here. and again, in a matter of a couple of months. the entire electoral map here in canada has
5:31 pm
been changed again by the president. >> fascinating. all right. paula newton, thank you so much for that. as president trump threatens punishing tariffs against canada and mexico, another country also a consistent target for his economic plans. and that would be china. trump's commerce secretary saying today an additional 10% tariff on china would hit tuesday. china has hit back with its own tariffs on american goods, mostly agricultural products. that's for now. cnn's mark stuart is joining us with more on this. mark, what is the reaction in beijing to all of the threats and these back and forth messages from president trump? >> indeed, jessica, it's. >> already monday morning here in beijing. and there's a lot of anticipation about what the week will bring, because the response from china, especially over the last days, last few days has become more and more vocal. in fact, it was just on friday. we heard from the foreign minister, wang yi, and at a news conference he was asked about this back and forth with the u.s. and china, and he
5:32 pm
responded initially with a series of rhetorical questions asking, are things better off? are americans lives better off? are people's lives better off? with this back and forth, with trade and with tariffs? is inflation improving? but he also made it clear that if there is a partnership involved between the u.s. and china, we will see mutual benefits. there will be mutual wins. talking about win win results. but he also went on to say that if you blindly exert pressure, china will resolutely counterattack. in fact, at one point last week, we heard from a government spokesperson who said china will fight to the end. but while all of this seems to be very spontaneous, none of this is truly a surprise to beijing. the prospect of these tariffs was under trump. 2.0 was something that was brought up throughout the campaign, and
5:33 pm
china has reacted accordingly. in fact, proactively, even before all of this. china is the world's largest exporter. it produces about 30% of all the world's stuff. but instead of depending on the u.s., it's really looked to new markets to sell its merchandise in places like latin america, like africa, like russia. so, jessica, while the u.s. is certainly trying to be aggressive in all of this, china certainly wants to portray itself as not being caught off guard. >> and so what's the end goal here? >> i think the angle and the best of terms is some kind of trade agreement that both the united states and china can live with. if you remember, it was just a few weeks ago president trump expressed interest in coming to china. that could happen. that is a possibility. but it has to be a situation where both xi jinping and donald
5:34 pm
trump have something to celebrate and something to share. that could be a trade agreement. neither man wants to look weak, not only on the world stage, but in front of their own individual population. so perhaps this is going to lead to a boiling point that will create some dialog or initiate some dialog that would perhaps lead to a trade agreement. that's that's one school of thought. jessica. >> and trump, of course, has explained that some of his tariffs he sees are punishments for other countries failure to help in the fentanyl crisis in the u.s. is there any suggestion at this point, beijing will try to address that piece of it? >> well, beijing has made it clear that it's been a partner in this war against fentanyl. the concern is that there are ingredients, chemicals from china, that are being funneled into places like mexico that allow for the manufacturing of
5:35 pm
fentanyl. but china has said this is america's problem. it's being fueled by america's demand for drugs. yet at the same time, this is this is something that china has also been empathetic about. it was toward the end of the biden administration that we saw a bipartisan group of lawmakers come to china, and they met face to face with xi jinping. and many said that he expressed empathy for all of this. but that's very much in the past. china has said it's done what it can do, and that really the burden is now on the united states. jessica. >> all right. more to come. marc stewart, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. more than 200 cases of measles now reported in two states. and health officials believe these. the actual number of cases could be even higher than that. we'll talk more about it next. >> are you hungry? i'm hungry. perfect. >> i'm so excited. >> this is cuisine at a different level.

5:41 pm
information that we have now? >> well, we're getting updates, jessica, every tuesday and friday from the texas health department or unfortunately, every tuesday and friday, the number is higher than it was before. that means it's still accelerating. and in a kind of evergreens, in the sense that the incubation period of measles, from the time you're exposed to the virus, to you start showing symptoms is on average 12 to 13 days. so what it means is, every time you hear an increase on a tuesday or a friday, you can assume that the epidemic is going to last at least another two weeks after that. and this is continuing to accelerate. it's become a very large and very dangerous measles epidemic. and remember those numbers of 200 plus are probably underestimates. the numbers are, the actual numbers are likely considerably higher. >> and we know there is one confirmed death from measles, another under investigation. how concerned are you that there
5:42 pm
could be more deaths in this outbreak? >> well, you know, as the numbers continue to climb in cases, we know that the hospitalizations will increase because roughly around 20% of measles cases results in hospitalizations, and the deaths could increase as well. so i expect we're around 20 plus hospitalizations, mostly kids and some adults as well. but those hospitalizations will increase commensurate with the rise in number of cases. so this. and the geography is likely to expand as well. it's already in west texas and across the border in new mexico. and i'm worried it will continue to expand from there. >> and to that point, doctor hotez, what do you tell people out there who are concerned about their, their, their children's health and safety? >> well, the good news is that the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, the mmr vaccine is one of the safest and most effective vaccines we have. a single dose
5:43 pm
of the mmr vaccine, which you usually give to kids around a year of age, is over 90% protective, and if they receive two doses, we usually give that second dose around school entry 4 to 6 years of age. is 97% protective, and you could even vaccinate earlier if you're in an area of measles transmission. so the bottom line is this is not like the early days of covid, because we have one of the best vaccines available. but that's the key. you have to have that situational awareness to make certain your family is vaccinated. >> and do people need to get boosters or get an additional vaccine if they were vaccinated as a small child, or if their children were vaccinated as a small child? >> so we began that's a good question, jessica. we began giving two doses of the measles vaccine. that recommendation came in the late 1980s. around 1989. so if you were born prior to 1989, chances are you got a single dose. if you're you know,
5:44 pm
starting in the late starting early 1960s was when we started vaccinating against measles. before then, there was a lot of measles transmission, and you were probably infected and therefore could have lifelong immunity from previous measles infection. but if you got a single dose of the vaccine between the early 1960s and the middle 1980s, you could get a second measles vaccine. and that's what i did, actually. but keep in mind, it is a live virus vaccine. and the difference between now and then is now we have checkpoint inhibitors. if you're getting certain types of cancer chemotherapy, you have things like monoclonal antibody treatments for autoimmune disorders. and those can be immunosuppressive. so if you're on any of those have a conversation with your physician. because the mmr vaccine is a live virus vaccine. >> all right. good notes there. doctor peter hotez, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> still ahead, how authorities in one state are moving to support trump's immigration
