fire, with russia. russia has not agreed to this. we have to be very clear on that. u.s. officials breaking this news a short time ago in jeddah, saudi arabia. >> we'll take this off for now to the russians, and we hope that they'll say yes. they'll say yes to peace. the ball is now in their court. and but again, the president's objective here is number one above everything else. he wants the war to end. and i think today ukraine has taken a concrete step in that regard. we hope the russians will reciprocate. >> alex marquardt is in jeddah. he's with us now. alex, what more do we know about this agreement? >> well, this is just a remarkable turnaround from the turmoil that we've seen in this relationship in the past week and a half since that meeting in the oval office. here we have the top u.s. official, secretary of state marco rubio national security adviser, mike waltz, not only praising the ukrainians for what they say is their desire for peace, but also for

the concrete proposals and ideas that they brought to the table today. remember, marco rubio said, that they would be in listening mode, that they wanted to hear what the ukrainians had to say. and it does sound like the ukrainians did bring some specifics. one of the ideas that we thought the ukrainians were going to raise today was this idea of a partial ceasefire. the u.s. essentially took that up a notch, saying instead, we are going to propose our own ceasefire, an immediate ceasefire for some 30 days, not just partial in terms of long range bombing and the fighting in the black sea, but all of the fighting, the artillery, the drones, the guns need to fall silent. so this was essentially this was a major step by the u.s. saying, this is our proposal. the ukrainians have accepted it. now it's on the russians to accept it as well. the u.s. is arguing that at first you need the guns to fall silent at the fighting to stop in order for a more comprehensive peace deal to to eventually be agreed to. the second part of all of this was

the questions about the military aid and the intelligence sharing that had been put on hold after that disastrous oval office meeting. that was a crippling blow to the ukrainians. now, the u.s. defended themselves, saying they continued to share intelligence that would help ukraine defend itself. but when you're trying to push russia out of your country and counter those attacks, all of that aid is needed. that that pause, that freeze is going to be lifted immediately. according to this u.s. delegation. so two major wins for the ukrainians and now the u.s., making it clear that a response is needed from the russians. and if they don't agree to this immediate ceasefire, that they, in fact, are the impediment in all of this, brianna. >> and alex rubio and walls also spoke about the security guarantees and the minerals deal that was still being ironed out. what did they say? >> yeah, these are two other critical points that that were

addressed today. the security guarantees is something that the ukrainians have been begging the americans for to to help them essentially provide what they're calling a backstop if and when a ceasefire is agreed to. we did hear mike waltz refer to security guarantees that were discussed in a very positive way. he didn't really put much meat on the bone and say, for example, we're going to put american troops inside of ukraine. but he did talk about them positively in a way that makes you think that there are going to be further conversations about what the u.s. will be offering ukraine in the longer term. and then on the minerals deal, there doesn't seem to be any kind of impediment to that happening. it's just a question of figuring out who's going to sign this deal and when. but it does appear that that is fully on track. remember, that was supposed to be signed two weeks ago in washington. it does appear that that will that will be signed at some point soon. boris. brianna. >> all right. alex, thank you for that. let's talk more about all of this with cnn military analyst, retired major general

james spider marks. we have jeffrey edmunds with us. he's former director for russia on the national security council under both obama and trump, and is a fellow at the center for a new american security. we have our cnn chief national security analyst, jim sciutto, with us. jeff, to you first here. what questions do you have coming out of what you have learned? as rubio put it, the ball is in russia's court. >> i think it will be very interesting to see if the. >> russians latch on to this while they are still making gains in some gains in the east and in kursk. russian troops are tired. they're losing a lot of troops. do they use this as an opportunity to, in a sense, rest and regroup? but the broader question is how is this maintained going forward? what happens if there are violations? and what happens when putin does not when it when it appears he is not going to be getting his his strategic objectives? what does he do then? >> i do wonder, jim, we were speaking with ian bremmer earlier and he made the point that the momentum is on russia's side. it's unclear at this point if russia would

actually take this deal without some sort of broader deal with the united states that would fold in ukrainian peace into that. he is suggesting that putin wants a meeting with donald trump. how do you see the kremlin responding to this? listen, the. >> momentum has been on their side for a number of weeks and months. they've been making grounds, though at enormous cost to russian forces and north korean forces that are, of course, fighting alongside russian forces. they're on the front line, you know, thousands and thousands per week. but gaining ground, the suspension of u.s. intelligence sharing and weapons had an immediate impact on ukrainian forces because while it was often described as just taking away offensive capabilities, not defensive capabilities, frankly it did impact defensive capabilities as well because they weren't getting the intelligence they need to strike russian firing positions before they fire on not just ukrainian forces, but ukrainian cities. so that gave russians another boost in effect. and bigger picture than that. is that russia's strategy, its gambit from the beginning, really has been to wait out the

west that while this war has taken far longer than we wanted or expected, or frankly, the west expected that eventually the west will get exhausted and split and divide, and we will still be there and listen, that reading has not been inaccurate right? today, given the divisions you have between the u.s. and its and its allies, and trump's own comments about ukraine, et cetera. but in the moment, this is significant because that intel sharing will begin again. and those words i would say from both waltz and rubio were significant because they said quite explicitly, ukraine has shown, as the president has demanded, it's interested in peace. now, the ball is in russia's court to prove that it is also interested in peace, or at least a ceasefire. i should say. >> that's the question, general. right. this goes to russia and they go, no thanks. then what happens? >> well, clearly russia. has a. >> decision to make right now, and it's very. >> obvious that. >> with ukraine. >> stepping up. >> and making the determination. >> that a cease.

>> fire is in their best interest. there's a lot of entangled forces that are right now in ukraine. and any type of a cease fire, first of all, is difficult to initiate and then to assess. and through what filter do you assess that the cease fire is taking place effectively? a lot can go wrong. and if and if russia comes forward and simply stalemates and says, no, thank you, we're not interested, then immediately what has happened is the ukrainians have, in good faith said, we'll accept the cease fire. this administration has indicated that they will immediately begin to resupply and provide intelligence. then the fighting starts anew. and as jim indicated, look, the russians have maintained a significant amount of momentum. but still, these are very small tactical gains that are being achieved at incredible price on both sides. so the russians have the advantage of large, you know, large numbers going to their advantage. the ukrainians now have at least a guarantee

from the united states that they will continue the support primarily in terms of intelligence, so that the targeting can resume what you really want to make sure is if if there's a ceasefire and it can be sustained, you've got to be prepared for the thing to go sideways at some point down the road. >> and if it does, jeff president trump said that he would follow through on crippling sanctions against russia if vladimir putin does not express an interest in peace and take steps toward that goal, do you believe he would keep that promise? >> i think he might, but i don't think that they'd have much effect on putin's decision making in this regard. he's been putin has been very steady on what he wants to gain in this war. and i worry that any kind of cease fire just enables him to rebuild forces and to recoup somewhat before start on the offensive again. and to the generals point, you have to you know, we and the europeans really have to have a plan in place. let's say this does go on for a couple of months. what happens if the russians do start to address again, what are we

going to put in place to stop that from happening, or from deterring the russians from doing so? >> it's interesting. just to that point, i asked some folks on the ground in ukraine, but also u.s. military officials involved in this effort and a u.s. military official said about the russians abiding by a ceasefire, said they haven't before. why should they? now? there's a track record there. and, by the way, that goes back before even the full scale invasion in 2022, there were a series of minsk agreements, et cetera., where russia said they'd do one thing and did the other. >> georgia, crimea, et cetera. >> yes. >> exactly right. and so if it just gives russia time to rearm, right, this cease fire, how do you see this in terms of. a strategic move on the part of the trump administration? >> it's a good question, right, because there are genuine questions from ukrainians i speak to. there still doubts, right? because i asked for ukrainian reactions to the cease fire. and they said, well,

let's look at the fine print first. right. which is understandable given the president's public comments about the ukrainian side, who's responsible for the war, et cetera., and the trust with our european partners on ukraine is, if not broken, severely damaged. and that's why you have europeans saying, listen, we got to step in and fill the breach here. so one day's events and comments here, and even even if you do get to a 30 day ceasefire, does not necessarily convince those parties that trump will bring ukraine to a deal, that it and europe are satisfied with right now, how much, how much are they still going to ask of the ukrainians to give up, to bring this forward to, to a more lasting peace? it's an open question, general. >> last word to you. >> well, yeah, i was going to say, let me pile on to the kind of the skeptical perspective that we all legitimately have. if the russians sign up for a ceasefire right now, they can look their the art. they have mastered the art of what's known as maskirovka deception to an incredibly high degree. they can

agree to a cease fire, and during that interregnum, they can reposition forces and they can get ready to initiate at some future state. so based on conditions, the assessment of how the cease fire takes place is what's most critical. >> general jeffrey, jim, appreciate you. thank you so much. let's expand the conversation now with democratic congressman of florida, jared moskowitz. he sits on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. first, your reaction to the u.s. and ukraine agreeing to terms for this 30 day interim ceasefire. how do you view this development? well. >> look. >> this is. >> a little bit of good news. first, the u.s. is undoing the pause on aid, undoing the pause on information and intelligence sharing with ukraine, which is good news. i had been i was curious to me why we were being tougher on canada, ukraine and greenland than we were on russia

and iran. i we got confused, obviously, for a moment. so that's good news that we're undoing those pauses. i think it's also smart that ukraine is agreeing to the ceasefire and putting the onus on russia to do it as well. so this is this is a good development at the moment, and i'm glad that the president and his team had figured out that it's ukraine that's our ally and not russia. >> we have a lot to cover here. so pivoting to your point about being tough on canada, we are learning this is as of just moments ago that as a result of donald trump doubling tariffs on canadian aluminum and steel, the premier of ontario, doug ford, is now rolling back that 25% surcharge that he wanted to implement on energy imports into three u.s. states. he's suspending those tariffs amid this trade clash. do you think doug ford blinked? is this emboldening donald trump's vision for his trade war with canada? >> well, yeah. look, i mean,

that's what happened, obviously in latin america when he did the same thing. and, you know, but this chaos is not something that the markets are going to be able to absorb. i mean, you know, we're down, obviously, from when donald trump took office in the stock market. i don't i remember donald trump talking a lot about having dinner with hannibal lecter. i don't remember him telling the american people just a little bit of pain. and so, look, we're in a full blown trade war with canada at the moment. i hope it gets defuzed. i do hope it gets defuzed. i think it's a good step that i read that ford and the treasury secretary are going to talk. talking to our allies is a good thing. again, canada being an ally, and we're being tougher on canada than we are on iran, you know, but it's good to see potentially that situation getting defuzed at the moment. >> initially when we agreed that you would come on, we were supposed to talk about the continuing resolution and keeping the government running. that deadline obviously set for friday. you were voting no on the cr. historically, the party

that votes against keeping the government open gets blamed for a shutdown. you're not concerned about public opinion. >> well, listen, at the end of the day, there was an election. whether i liked the results or not, there was an election. the president won, republicans won the house, and republicans won the senate. they have all branches of government. they even have more votes on the supreme court. so they control the whole kit and caboodle. right? so they're in charge of what passes and what doesn't pass. remember, they've told us all that they have a mandate. so, you know, this is this is their deal at the moment. you know, i want to keep government open. but the american people voted against the status quo. a cr is the status quo. the speaker promised his own party that he would do 12 individual spending bills. that was a promise he made to his party to stay speaker. he has broken that promise to his party, and he's broken that promise to the american people. so i'm not going to vote for the status quo. i'm not going to vote for a bill where elon musk says, i found all this waste, fraud and abuse. whether he has or he's not, he's found it. i'm not falling into a trap so he can

say, democrats went to go vote for all this waste, fraud and abuse. and so, look, they should talk to democrats. if they want to talk to us, we can put a bipartisan deal together. but they're not talking to us because they tell people they have a mandate. well, if they have a mandate, then they should pass their own bill. >> congressman, one more thing. i wanted to get your perspective on. you were one of four democrats to vit the campus of columbia university last spring in the wake of these protests and these anti-semitic instances of harassment. what is your reaction to mahmoud khalil arrest and his potential deportation? well. >> look, we're in this instance because universities for an entire year refused to enforce their code of conduct when it came to jewish students and jewish parents around the country looked at that and said, if this was happening to another minority group, it would not have gotten past lunchtime on the first day. but when it came to jewish students, assaulting them on college campus was okay,

preventing them from going to to class was okay. and they weren't targeted because of their position on israel. no one asked them how they felt about netanyahu. they saw their jewish star. and so this was blatant anti-semitism and universities across this country couldn't enforce their code of conduct. so, look, i support the administration people here on student visas. if you're here on a tourist visa and you're going to hamas rally, then yeah, you probably shouldn't be here anymore. you should get due process in this country, but you probably shouldn't be here anymore. and so, you know, when it when it comes to that, this is all on the universities. they should have enforced their code of conduct. >> i just want to point out it according to reporting, mahmoud khalil has a green card, so he's not here on a student visa. i don't think the administration has put forward any evidence that he's provided any material or intellectual support, in the sense that he's helped recruit folks for hamas

or had any communication with them directly. we haven't seen evidence of that. so i wonder, where do you see the line between vocally expressing support for an idea, no matter how reprehensible, and then being deemed a national security threat? >> well, again, i said he should get due process right, so the facts should come out. and then once the facts come out, we should also look at what the law says. and so i'm supportive of anybody getting their due process right. and so i'm not prejudging anything. but what i am saying is if you're here on a student visa, if you're here on a tourist visa and you're attending one of our universities, that's not a right. and since it's not a right to do that, if you're here on a visa, if you're going to hamas, if you're going to terrorist sympathizer rallies, then yes, we should look at deporting you. you should get due process. of course you should. the facts should come out right. and we got to see if you're breaking the law. but, you know, this is all because the universities did not protect

their jewish students. >> congressman jared moskowitz, we have to leave the conversation there. very much appreciate your time and perspective. >> thank you. >> we have much more on the breaking news. a major development in the u.s. trade war with canada. the premier of ontario agreeing to suspend, as you just heard me discussing with the congressman, its 25% tariff on electricity exports to three u.s. states. this is just hours after the president threatened to hike tariffs on canada. even more. is the market responding? it looks like it's starting to tick upward from the low today, but it is still several days of 100 point losses for the dow jones industrial average. stay with cnn. we have much more. after a quick break. >> in the 90s. enron brought us the ultimate visionary, jeffrey skilling. >> enron cooked its books, overpaid its executives. the whole company went down the tube. >> united states. >> of scandal with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn.

today at 4 p.m. on cnn. >> more breaking news to cnn. the province of ontario, canada, is suspending its 25% retaliatory tariff on electricity exports to three u.s. states after its premier, doug ford, spoke with commerce secretary howard lutnick today. in a statement, ford said that he and lutnick will meet again on thursday to discuss the prospects of a renegotiated usmca, the us-mexico-canada trade agreement. cnn's vanessa yurkevich joins us now live with more. vanessa, what are you hearing about this meeting? >> yes. so this meeting between the commerce secretary and the premier of ontario, doug ford, is going to take place on thursday. this will. be with trade representatives as well, to try to get ahead. of this deal on usmca that is set to expire next year. they're going to be. >> meeting about that. >> but as a result of this meeting, doug ford, the premier of ontario, said that they are repealing the surcharge on electricity that canada was

essentially sending to the u.s. to power three states and markets right now seem to be encouraged by this meeting that is going to be happening on thursday. the nasdaq is up a bit, and you see the s&p and the dow coming up just a slight bit off the lows of the day. we've seen markets reacting all day long. just trying to make sense of all of these different nuances and all of these different backs and forth reciprocal tariffs here and there. this is just the latest in what has been a long week, only two days long, but a long week of news on tariffs. we'll see though if president trump decides to repeal his 50% tariff that he put in place on canadian steel and aluminum, because the canadian premier just announced that he is repealing his his electricity tax. >> to that point, vanessa, we've not yet heard from the administration what they plan to do with those newly announced tariffs on aluminum and steel. >> yeah, we have not heard yet. at last check, i didn't see

anything from president trump on this. but the reason that president trump essentially escalated this trade war, putting a 50% tariff on aluminum and steel coming from canada, was because of the electricity tax that was in place that has now been taken off. according to the premier of ontario. but you see there, as it stands right now, at midnight tonight, there's going to be a 50% tariff on canadian aluminum and steel and 25% on all the other countries that the u.s. imports steel from and aluminum from. but the thing to point out here is that canada is the main importer of u.s. steel into the u.s., that of all the countries that we get steel from, for example, canada is number one. and then when you look at aluminum, same thing, aluminum, we get the most amount of aluminum from canada. i just spoke to a manufacturer and said, well, hey, is this good? if we're putting a premium on canadian steel and aluminum? and he said no, because ultimately what that does is that raises

prices here in the u.s. and it is a lose lose situation. >> boris vanessa yurkevich, thank you so much for that update, brianna. >> we're also following breaking news out of the department of education. according to a memo obtained by cnn, all offices are going to be closed tonight and tomorrow for security reasons, and they will reopen on thursday. cnn's sunlen serfaty is here with us. so this is all offices. this isn't just headquarters. >> that's right. >> it's all offices. >> here in. >> washington. >> d.c., at. >> the department headquarters, but also regional offices across the country of the department of education. and this is certainly significant, although i do want not know the reason for this. the only reason that this memo, which we obtained and was sent to all employees at the department of education today says that their offices will be closed, citing security reasons. now, that's the only specifics they gave in this memo, where they instruct employees to leave the office at 6 p.m. tonight,

those who have been approved for telework will take their laptops with them. and they say in this memo that the offices will be closed tomorrow, throughout the day and that they intend to reopen on thursday. now, again, they did not cite the reasons for this. they did not cite the security reason for closing the offices. but the news certainly has hit many of those employees at the department of education very hard. many who are concerned about impending layoffs, who are concerned about president trump saying that he wants to dismantle the agency. one source i spoke to a short time ago said that they cannot remember a time that the offices were closed, and this was a source who had been there for many, many years as career staff. so certainly this making an already on edge staff even more so. cnn, of course, has reached out to the department of education to get specifics on what the security reason is, and they have not responded or gave us any more information than what was in this memo sent just a short time ago to employees. >> very interesting. sunlen

serfaty, thank you so much for that. and still to come, the ntsb just gave an update on its investigation into the deadly mid-air collision that killed 67 people here in washington, dc. what the agency is saying about helicopter routes near reagan national airport. we'll have that next. >> they decorated this place. we were definitely the big dog in the house. you guys were talking about a dynasty. here's where it is. right here. >> celtic city. >> streaming exclusively on. >> max one and next level. clean swish with the whoa of listerine. it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone. get a next level clean with listerine. feel the. whoa. >> still congested? >> nope. oh. mucinex 2 in 1 saline nasal spray spray. goodbye. mucinex 2 in 1. >> saline nasal spray with a

for families that are grieving because they lost loved ones, it shouldn't take a tragedy like this to occur. unfortunately, one did. and so we are calling on action. but there clearly were indicators where safety trending could have occurred two new incredible pieces of data here from the ntsb that close calls between commercial flights at national airport and helicopters were happening with startling regularity. >> and the ntsb studied this. they said between october 2021 and december of 2024, helicopters and commercial flights at national airport came within one mile of each other. 15,000 times over that three year period. over that same period of time, helicopters and airplanes arriving at national

airport came within 1500 feet, or about a quarter mile apart 85 times. so the narrative here is that there were close calls between helicopters and airplanes over and over again in this airspace. now, the ntsb has put it on the federal aviation administration to act here. and we are anticipating hear from transportation secretary sean duffy at the top of the hour. >> and, pete, we know they reduced the staffing at the air traffic control tower. was that an issue that night? >> this is something that chair homendy touched on briefly. the findings earlier, before today's preliminary report release, was that the controllers combined two positions in the control tower not long before the crash, at about 840. the crash occurred at about 850 in the evening. now, the ntsb chair says that that combination of those two positions happened earlier in the day. it's something they are still looking into. and right now there is no assignment of

blame here, no final finding of probable cause just yet. although the ntsb chair did log transportation secretary sean duffy for opening up air traffic controller hiring and essentially fast tracking that to try and get more controllers into the pipeline. many of them are working mandatory six day weeks of ten hour shifts, mandatory overtime. they're stretched to the limit right now. >> all right. pete muntean, thank you for the latest there. and we will be right back. >> are you hungry? >> i'm hungry. >> oh, perfect. >> i'm so excited. this is cuisine at a different level. >> oh, yeah. >> food makes me so happy. >> eva longoria searching for spain premieres april. >> 27th. >> on cnn. >> incoming dishes. duck dawn power. wash flies through 99% of grease and grime in half the time. >> it absorbs grease five times faster. he even replaces multiple cleaning products. >> those suds got game. >> don power wash. the better grease getter. >> you know what's brilliant?

most at risk right now, is that we're going to open the floodgates to everybody coming, but we're not going to have the infrastructure and the personnel to take care of the places. >> so in the meantime, they say it is still vital for folks of all skill sets to get together in nature, to remind yourself what's worth protecting. >> we need people to come back because we're having a hard time getting federal funds dispersed in the way they ought to be. and so we need more people to know that and talk about it. and we need them in the same way we've always needed them in that beauty in this place is a is in the eyes of the beholder. the more people that look at it, they're kind to it and soft on it. they look at it. i think it makes the place more beautiful. >> like the. >> hiking community. >> is unbelievable. yes. like we're walking past people. >> with dogs and kids. >> and family. >> and they're all smiling. >> and happy, helping each. >> other out. >> so like, for us, this is what we want it to be like. >> yeah. >> our thanks to bill weir for that report. we actually want to take you straight to the white

blamed former president biden for how they've been teetering in recent days, despite his changes to trade policy. also, about the cease fire that ukraine just agreed to, saying that now his administration is working on getting russia to agree. we're going to keep monitoring these remarks and bring you the latest as we get it. stay with cnn news central. we're back in just a few minutes. >> in the 90s, enron brought us the ultimate visionary. jeffrey skilling. >> enron cooked its books, overpaid its executives. the whole company went down. went down the tubes. >> united states. >> of scandal with jake tapper sunday at 9:00 on cnn. >> an msc cruise isn't just a vacation. it's a holiday full of european style and. >> all the things americans. >> love to come on bloom. >> there are a ton of football matches. >> games, football games. >> are you ready for some adrenaline? >> i was born ready. how high is that? >> so high. >> privacy. >> privacy. >> gelato. >> froyo. >> architecture. >> architecture.

about other important topics. let's listen in. >> fairly by mexico. but we've been treated very unfairly by every country all over the world. the european union is horrible, horrible, and we're going to get it back. and i have a choice. i could just coast and eventually there'd be a blow up down the road, maybe a long way, but we owe $36 trillion and we're going to get it back. we're the biggest, we're the best. and i'm very optimistic. i have to tell you, i'm very optimistic about the country, much more optimistic this way than if i did it the easy way. i could have done it the easy way. i could have coasted. biden left us a mess. he left us tremendous inflation, tremendously high cost of products. he left us a mess. but he also left us a mess with millions of people that poured into our country that are criminals. millions of those people happen to be criminals, and we're looking for them all over the place. we're looking for them. and homan and christie are doing an incredible job. but

he left us a horrible situation and we're changing it. but one of the things we're changing is we're going to make our country really wealthy again. we're going to bring our jobs back. right now, we're like a chicken that's being plucked at from all over the world. we're not going to let that happen anymore. mr. president. but very importantly, and i said it. ukraine, cease fire, ukraine cease fire. just agreed to a little while ago. now we have to go to russia and hope, hopefully president putin will agree to that also. and we can get this show on the road. we can get we can get this horrible war where 2 or 3000 soldiers a week every week, two, three, 4000. sometimes i get the reports and they're not american soldiers, they're ukrainian, and they're russian, but people are being killed outside of that, people are being killed in the cities as things explode throughout the cities. and we want to get that war over with. so i think, i think it's a very big. >> will. >> you talk to president? it's a big difference between the last

visit you saw at the oval office and the. so that's a total cease fire. ukraine has agreed to it and hopefully russia will agree to it. we're going to meet with them later on today and tomorrow, and hopefully we'll be able to wipe out a deal. but i think the cease fire is very important if we can get russia to do it, that will be great. if we can't, we just keep going on and people are going to get killed. lots of people. >> it's zelenskyy. >> invited back to the. >> white house. >> sure, absolutely. >> mr. president. >> you mentioned the ups. >> and downs in. >> the stock market. you said. >> it'll go up, it'll go down. but do. >> you and your tariff. >> policies right now bear any responsibility. >> for the turmoil. >> we're seeing. >> this week? biden gave us a horrible economy. he gave us horrible inflation. and i think the market was going to go very, very bad. if anything, i have a lot of very smart people, friends of mine and great businessmen. they're now investing because of what i'm doing, because long term, what i'm doing is making our country strong again, financially strong, militarily strong and

strong. if we want to get away. remember this we have wars. when i left, we had no wars. we didn't have ukraine and russia. we didn't have october 7th. we didn't have that disaster that took place with the withdrawal from afghanistan. and you look at what's happened there. we caught the major terrorists, which biden wouldn't have caught. why didn't he catch him? i caught him five weeks into the presidency. i caught the man responsible for abbey gate, and he's going to pay hell right now. he's a bad dude. he's a bad guy. but we didn't have these problems. i had no inflation. i had a great economy. he gave you high prices, you couldn't buy bacon, you couldn't buy anything. and also, i inherited a situation with eggs. the price of eggs was through the roof. well, now the price of eggs has come down a lot. interest rates have come down. gasoline prices have come down. it's all coming down. it's all a beautiful thing. i can do it the right way or the wrong way. we're doing it the right way. and i have tremendous

confidence in this country and the people of this country tremendous. much more so than if i sat back for four years and had a good time in the oval office. i want to look at cars. >> mr. president, this is i have an announcement. >> to make. >> that would be helpful. i want to say as as a function of the great policies of president trump and his administration and as an act of faith in america, tesla is going to double vehicle output in the united states within the next two years. that's a big deal. >> that's great. >> thank you. >> and by the way, he makes one car. this one i don't understand. this one i don't want. but that's okay. without a steering wheel. it comes out next year right. tell me explain that please. >> yes. well at the cyber cab starts production in texas next year. and it's a self-driving. we have so much confidence in the self-driving nature of it that it will actually not have a steering wheel. it will not have pedals. it'll either self drive or not drive at all. it'll self drive. >> president trump. >> and i'm going to pass on that

particular. >> before this event today. when's the last time you. >> bought a new car. >> wow. well i buy a lot for through my children because they run the company now. i used to buy a lot. i haven't bought a new car in a long time. >> what was your. >> first car? the only thing i know, the only thing i know is the beast. i got a big car with very thick windows and thick side panels. >> is that. >> going. >> electric? >> it's going electric. >> we buy a lot of cars. actually, i bought this one for kai. >> do you. >> remember your first car? >> the ontario. >> premier. >> calling you. >> and giving you his decision. >> about. >> the electricity surcharge? >> and you. >> said you were pleased about that. will you make a different. >> decision now. >> about the tariffs on canada? will you reduce. >> it to that. but probably so yeah, he was a gentleman. he was a gentleman. look i said it before we give canada $200 billion a year, we subsidize canada between all of the things we give them and trade we give them. we don't have to have cars made in canada. we don't have to have lumber from canada.

we have tremendous lumber. we have tremendous trees. all i have to do is unfreeze them from some of the restrictions that were put on. i can do that with an executive order. we don't need energy. we have more energy than anybody else in the world. so we spend $200 billion a year subsidizing canada. we don't have to do that. and frankly, the way that gets solved is canada should honestly become our 51st state. we wouldn't have a northern border problem. we wouldn't have a tariff problem. they don't have much. they spend very little, as you know, the least of almost anybody on military. and we spend the most of anybody on military. we have a great military. i rebuilt the military during my first term. we're going to have to rebuild it a little bit. again, not that much, but we're going to have to rebuild it a little bit again. but canada would be great as our cherished 51st state, you wouldn't have to worry about borders. you wouldn't have to worry about anything. and by the way, it is very highly taxed and
