2:01 am
i'm rahel solomon. it is thursday, april 3rd, 5 a.m. exactly here in new york. and straight ahead on early start. >> it's our declaration of economic independence. >> the new trade policy of the united states is the biggest shift in trade policy since the second world war. >> economists and world leaders are all warning this escalation of trump's trade war will have devastating consequences. >> we must brace for the impact that this will inevitably have. >> it's like, oh, my gosh, it's happening. this is happening. that's all i could think. and i just held. >> on a line of severe thunderstorms, was seen tracking through parts of the midwest. >> president trump overhauling a century of global american trade policy as he announces sweeping new tariffs on all imports to the u.s. it's a move which
2:02 am
threatens to escalate his trade war with countries around the world. >> this is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in american history. it's our declaration of economic independence. >> on wednesday, the president used national emergency powers to impose tariffs of at least 10% on most countries, and there are even higher rates for dozens of nations that he called the, quote, worst offenders. it's a historic move that economists say will likely cause consumer prices to skyrocket and hurt growth. j.p. morgan warning that the tariffs will probably plunge both the u.s. and global economies into a recession this year. now, the reciprocal tariffs are aimed at some of america's top trade partners. that includes 35% additional levies on imports from china on top of existing tariffs, and 2,520% tariffs for the eu. now, the baseline 10% rate that will take effect on saturday, with the customized higher rates starting a week from now. the
2:03 am
white house claims that the tariffs are meant to bring back jobs and manufacturing to the u.s., the treasury secretary also warning other countries not to retaliate. >> everybody sit back. take a deep breath. don't immediately retaliate. let's see where this goes. because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation. >> wall street now bracing for a steep decline on thursday with u.s. futures tumbling overnight. pretty much as soon as we got the announcement, let's take a look at where u.s. futures stand this morning. all off between 2.3 to 3.3% in early morning pre trade. nasdaq the worst among them which is a continuation of what we've seen with some of the tech players being especially hard. tech analyst dan ives saying in a note yesterday that this is the worst case scenario. meanwhile, let's take a look at markets in asia, which are also, perhaps unsurprisingly, lower, although not as much. the nikkei, the worst among them here off about 2.7%. and governments around the
2:04 am
world are deciding how to respond as the new trump tariffs have triggered global shockwaves. japan's chief cabinet secretary calls them extremely regrettable and is asking for a review. european commission president ursula von der leyen says that the tariffs are a major blow to the world economy. she wants the bloc to negotiate with the u.s., but also says that they're prepared to retaliate to safeguard european interests. take a listen. >> i know that many of you feel let down by our oldest ally. yes, we must brace for the impact that this will inevitably have. europe has everything it needs to make it through the storm. we are in this together. if you take on one of us, you take on all of us. >> we have team reaction for you. let's get more now from cnn's hanako montgomery in tokyo and senior international correspondent melissa bell in paris. great to have you both. let me start with you. we've
2:05 am
obviously seen the reaction in the markets, but how are leaders in the region responding this morning? what are you hearing? >> however i mean, leaders in the asia-pacific region have expressed a lot of shock, frustration and surprise about the u.s. president donald trump's recent tariff hikes. we've heard from the japanese prime minister. for instance, shigeru ishiba, who's expressed regret and said it was very unfortunate that the u.s. has imposed tariffs on the country, even though japan has been a long standing ally of the u.s. and has maintained very good economic relations with the country for decades now. japan specifically has seen 24% tariffs imposed on the country, and that is separate from the 25% tariffs that trump has imposed on the automobile industry, which will surely hit japan and neighboring south korea very, very hard. these two countries, of course, export a lot of cars to the united states and have developed relations with the u.s., specifically in the automobile industry for many, many years now. japan,
2:06 am
specifically, the japanese prime minister, has mentioned how japan created about 2.3 million jobs in the u.s., specifically in this automobile industry, and also 3% of japan's gdp actually comes from sales in this sector. so again, lots and lots of potential economic damage here in east asia. but interestingly, rahel, no asian country so far has announced any reciprocal tariffs or any countermeasures specifically. they've all said that they're going to mull their responses and reciprocal tariffs may come down the line. but so far nothing as of yet. here's what the australian prime minister, anthony albanese, had to say about australia's response. >> this is why our government will not be seeking to impose reciprocal tariffs. we will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices and slower growth. we will stand up for australia. we will continue to make the strongest case for these unjustified tariffs to be
2:07 am
removed from our exporters. >> now china, which has seen a 54% tariff levied on the country, will of course suffer damage because of that very high and significant tariff increase, but also because donald trump has imposed tariffs on cambodia and vietnam, two countries in southeast asia that many chinese and international companies have recently moved to, to really make production cheaper, and also to avoid existing levies. but clearly, as we've seen trump impose tariffs on these friends and foes, no one can really escape trump's tariff wrath. rahel. >> yeah. melissa. it's interesting because we just heard ursula von der leyen there essentially saying we would like to negotiate, but at the same time, an attack on one is essentially an attack on all of us. talk to us a little bit more about the reaction we've heard from europe. >> a great deal of anger, a sense of betrayal being expressed by many of these european leaders who had always
2:08 am
seen the united. >> all right. it looks like we lost melissa bell. but melissa bell in paris. thank you. hanako montgomery live in tokyo. thank you as well. all right. turning to severe weather now, 5 million americans are still under tornado watches this hour after storms pummeled the u.s. on wednesday, especially in the midwest. cnn affiliate wish reports the tornado knocked over a large radio tower and ripped off the front of a building in indiana. that twister, just one of 19 reports of tornadoes scattered across arkansas, illinois, kentucky and missouri, and one city in arkansas. at least five homes were destroyed, and power lines were brought down. officials in kentucky say that four people were injured after they tried to take shelter in a vehicle near a church that was destroyed by a tornado. officials in missouri say that one person is confirmed dead following the storms, although the circumstances here are still unclear. one woman, describing the moment that the storm passed over her home. >> i was actually.
2:09 am
>> in. >> the bathtub. and as you can see, the whole everything in the bathtub. >> everything is coming down into the bathtub. >> it was just like, oh, my gosh, it's happening. this is happening. that's all i could think. and i just held on. >> across indiana, michigan, ohio, kentucky and arkansas, more than 400,000 energy customers have been left without electricity following the severe weather. and forecasters are urging people to be on high alert as the threat of historic flooding looms for parts of the mississippi and ohio valleys. flood watches are in effect for the region, as well as southern illinois and parts of indiana and kentucky. national weather service says that there is a danger of what it calls generational flooding, which could be, quote, catastrophic. up to 15 more inches 15 more inches of rain are expected over parts of the u.s. south and into western parts of the ohio valley through sunday. all right. trump's new tariff plan may target foreign producers, but plenty of businesses in the u.s.
2:10 am

2:16 am
>> yeah. good morning. it's. >> i my turmeric and chai blends use incredible single origin spices from around the globe. i have assam tea from india. i have turmeric from thailand. i have ginger from vietnam. just for starters. and you know, these aren't luxury sourcing choices. they're a big part of what make my products really special. i also have a really beautiful. tins that i use for my retail packaging that i do sourced from china to really give me a competitive advantage on the shelf and to make my products stand out. and, and this news is really making me really nervous about if. my sourcing options are going to be viable. >> yeah. i mean, have you have you been able to do the sort of back of the envelope calculations about how much this
2:17 am
changes your margins, how much this changes the potential prices? i mean, what will this mean in dollars and cents if you know. >> i my margins are already super thin. so there just isn't a lot of buffer for small businesses like mine using these premium ingredients that are already at a premium price point. consumers are already spending less. so the the thought that i can just bump up my prices and absorb that cost increase is, is difficult, and the numbers are hard to calculate because we don't really know what's happening. with sourcing from so many different countries. i don't know how freight is going to be impacted. i don't know how timelines are going to be impacted. i just know that i can't personally keep the business going by absorbing those costs. and i know that it's not fair to pass those increased costs on to consumers.
2:18 am
so i am looking i mean, it could be a 20 to 30% increase just to maintain my margins. it could be even higher than that. i don't actually know that final number at the moment. >> so, anjali talk to me a little bit about. and look, i'm, i'm a daughter of small business owners. you know, they're small business owners are a resilient bunch, tough as nails, resourceful. creative, innovative. how are you planning to respond to this? i mean, what's the plan for angeles cup? >> so i'm contemplating several things. one of the answers may be that i have to rethink my whole retail strategy. food service is a big part of my my business, so i sell to coffee shops like joe coffee company and cafe grumpy, and working with more coffee shops could be a way to bridge some of the gap.
2:19 am
if i have to let go of of this retail packaging. but it's really after after having spent 11 years building the relationships with my suppliers and farmers, after getting my business into whole foods and other stores to to let go of that is is difficult. so it's not something i'm going to take lightly. but it is something that i definitely have to have to contemplate. it may mean that i get rid of certain skus. i have, i have a a lot of different options. and i think all of us are sort of trying to make the best decisions we can in real time in, in a sort of economic fog. we're we're trying to use our instincts and our our knowledge. but the pivots of the past have not had these kinds of big numbers at
2:20 am
stake. >> yeah. yeah. it's interesting, as i hear you talk about your relationships and the business acumen and all of the experience and obviously hard work that goes into to running a business. you know, it's also sometimes i think, really a source of passion, a source of pride for small business owners. and i'm curious, as i listen to you emotionally what this has been like. for you. >> i'll say that i am an optimist. at the end of the day. i feel really passionate about how special my products are. how special the ingredients that i use are. i use a turmeric that we get from a farmer in thailand who, incidentally, used to be on the big island of hawaii but moved to thailand because he could not make that domestically grown product viable. and he's growing incredible turmeric root in, in thailand now. and i have
2:21 am
i have seen my own resilience. i've seen the resilience of passion driven businesses. and i think especially in food, we know that food brings us all together. it is about building cultural connections. and that is something that i think is. is something we can't remove from the fabric of america. it's it's so important. and so i am committed to finding the solutions that i need to. and, you know, maybe stepping back from certain things in the short run, but finding a way to keep the business going. i've been doing it for 11 years, and so i'm not going to let this take me down if i don't have to. but i also know that life is long and and things will look different down the road. >> yeah, certainly. certainly an optimistic way of viewing it.
2:22 am
anjali, we certainly would hope for the best for you and your business. we appreciate you being on this morning. thank you. that's anjali bhargava. >> thank you. >> all right. well, for 75 years, nato has been anchored by u.s. leadership. now, european allies worry that donald trump may change all of that. and the future of the alliance could be at risk as nato foreign ministers gather in brussels. well, the details straight. >> ahead. >> feeling anxious? i don't know what's going on. don't worry. >> put your. >> feet up. don't panic. >> we can help you cope. >> it's called disassociation. >> it's all on fire. >> did you not find that comforting? >> have i got news for you? saturday at 9:00 on cnn. >> welcome to the new way to network. >> they switched to juniper's a.i. >> native network., and. >> everything is. >> simpler. so they. >> can take their game. >> to a whole new level. >> because now. >> their network. >> is self-configuring. >> self detecting and self-healing. they even have a

2:27 am
on the war in ukraine. among those in attendance, u.s. secretary of state marco rubio, who is likely to face questions about donald trump's willingness to move closer to russia in an effort to broker a ceasefire. rubio can also expect to feel tensions over trump's recent insults against nato allies canada and denmark. let's go to clare sebastian now. who's watching all of this, claire, the speech, these comments from rubio coming at a time when a lot of america's allies have deep concerns about the administration's foreign policy agenda, what are you watching? what can we expect to come out of this summit? >> yeah, the foreign policy agenda. and then most recently, of course, the tariff announcement, which came overnight, europe time and those coming in have already faced questions about that because of course, while you can argue that this isn't directly about this, it is related. take a listen to how the secretary general, mark rutte, responded to a question on the tariffs. >> sure. >> i think. >> the reception will be very positive. >> this is not a meeting about. >> of course, the economic issues and subjects. it will be.
2:28 am
we are really focused. the focus here of all 32 is how to defend nato territory against the russians. our long term threat, which will be there even after, i hope there will be a deal on ukraine. the russian threat will be there for many years to come. >> but of course, europe now engaged in what the secretary general called multiple times the biggest increase in defense spending since the cold war is facing another economic headwind in doing that with these tariffs. and this was voiced by the belgian foreign minister this morning, who said in a statement before arriving at the summit, belgium's growth could be affected and this at a time, he said, when the united states itself is asking us to increase our defense investment spending. so this is where i think we see the economic policy colliding with the geopolitical goals of the trump administration, but also, of course, ukraine is going to be extremely high on the agenda. and i think marco rubio will face questions from allies in the hope that he can clarify some of the mixed messaging coming out of washington. president trump, for
2:29 am
example, souring recently on putin, saying in the last few days that he was very angry that they didn't have a deal yet. well, of course, ring fencing russia from this latest round of tariffs and allowing a top russian official kirill dmitriev a top aide to putin to come to washington, reportedly having to lift sanctions on him to do that. in keeping up this dialog, which is, of course, emboldened russia. so i think he will face questions on that. he's seen as one of the most nato friendly in the top tier of the trump administration. so they will be looking for next steps. and i think one thing that we really don't have clarity on yet is this issue of how the u.s. is willing to be involved in post war security guarantees for ukraine, the so-called backstop, and how they will help get to the whole idea of a lasting and enduring peace, which is something that we've heard repeatedly as ministers and the nato secretary general himself have arrived at the summit this morning, rahel. >> clare sebastian, reporting for us in london. claire. thank you. and we are following new developments out of hungary, where the government has
2:30 am
announced this morning that it will withdraw from the international criminal court. that news comes as prime minister viktor orban welcomed israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to budapest for a four day visit. now, the trip is seen as a direct challenge to the authority of the icc, which issued a warrant for netanyahu's arrest last year over allegations of possible war crimes in gaza. since then, the israeli leader has not visited a country under the court's jurisdiction. now, ahead of that visit, netanyahu delivered a video speech announcing a military escalation in gaza, vowing to ramp up pressure until all of the hostages are released. israel's defense minister was the first to announce a major expansion of the operation, which would involve the seizure of large areas of land in the enclave. the announcements come as israel continues its aerial bombardment of gaza. at least 17 people were killed in strikes in southern gaza overnight on wednesday. in his statement, israel's defense minister said that the expanded operation would also involve a, quote, large scale scale evacuation of gaza's population

2:46 am
announcement of sweeping tariffs on virtually all of america's trade partners is raising red flags for economists, experts now warning that the president's decision to escalate his trade war could have devastating consequences and may push the u.s. and global economies into a recession by the end of the year. president trump's foreign counterparts, expressing their concerns about his sweeping tariffs of at least 10% across all countries, with rates even higher for some countries and trading blocs. the european union, which will be subject to a 20% tariff, is calling it a, quote, major blow to the world economy. and it's preparing countermeasures. if the u.s. is not willing to negotiate. and trump's financial advisors also warning against retaliation and trying to reassure concerned consumers, treasury secretary scott bessent urging other countries to, quote, sit back and take a deep breath before taking any action. now, four republican lawmakers helped pass a bipartisan resolution in the senate
2:47 am
rebuking the white house's trade policy toward canada. here's what senate republican rand paul and democrat chuck schumer had to say about the massive economic shift. >> donald trump said he'd. >> reduce prices on day. >> one when he. >> got elected. he's doing just the opposite with these tariffs. he's raising prices through the roof and strangling american families. >> this is. >> a tax, plain and simple, on the american people. >> all right. the impact of that vote is largely symbolic, as house gop leaders are not expected to take up any efforts to rebuke trump over tariff policy. now, the president's plan also has some supporters, like republican tommy tuberville from alabama, who says that his constituents must trust trump's moves. >> we have to save. >> the people and the industries. in the united states. >> if they if if they continue. >> to go. >> under, we're going to have huge problems. we think we've got problems now. they'll get much worse. >> in my state of alabama. we voted almost unanimously. >> for president trump. they
2:48 am
believe in him and. he's trying something different. we have to have a different game. >> plan. >> all right. joining me now is congressman jonathan jackson, a house democrat and also a member of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, good to have you back on the program. we've had some time now to digest this news about 12 hours, 13 hours, in fact. what's your top line reaction to these tariffs impacting some 185 nations? >> well. >> what he's. >> calling what the president. >> is calling. >> has lit a fuze. >> that can. >> connect all. >> these different. >> countries. and some incalculable measures on people's actions and reactions, and to think that in this world that's globalized, that he can unravel and then make threats against allies, neighbors and trading. partners without consequences is not true. >> when we saw. >> in 19 in 2022, when the brazilian economy started growing significantly with its export of soybeans into china,
2:49 am
people are going to start finding other places to source. so he's going to create decoupling from the united states economy to other countries. >> and illinois, your home state, obviously, a huge agricultural source of exporting. i'm going to get to that in just a moment. but first, while i have you, i want to talk about how the gop or how the house specifically plans to respond to this. we saw the senate last night deliver that rare bipartisan rebuke of trump's tariffs on canada, adopting that resolution that effectively aims to block the proposed tariffs on our neighbors to the north. this was already in the works before that announcement yesterday, but four republicans signed on to this. what do house leaders do now? i mean, what does the house do now? because we know that leaders there don't want to touch this. so what's the plan now for dems? >> well, let me say, first of all, a huge shout out to our senator cory booker. he might have broken the dam as far as letting the senators have their voice. i'm glad to see that senator rand paul and mcconnell and murkowski and others have now stepped forward. and this
2:50 am
passed the senate, 5149 5849. that's a great thing in the house. we've been fighting under the leadership of hakeem jeffries. and now with our ranking member on foreign affairs, mr. gregory meeks, he's putting forward a privileged resolution when we get back to washington, d.c., to bypass the speaker. the speaker of the house, mr. still has not found his voice. he's the third most powerful person in the united states of america, and he's not using that power to curtail mr. trump and let him know we have co-equal branches of government. there are tools in place to stop this sort of erratic, frenetic behavior. and so i'm so proud of ranking member meeks. and there will be a privileged resolution resolution to go around the speaker of the house to let this come before the united states congress as well. >> but but but, congressman, do you think you'll be able to pull that off? and do you think that in the house, which is obviously very different than the senate, that you might see some republican defectors like we saw
2:51 am
in the senate? i mean, realistically, as the kids might say, keep it, keep it real with me. i mean, what do you expect here? >> yeah, absolutely. so it was an embarrassing defeat last week for speaker johnson. luna luna was able to shut him down. it was over a simple thing. it was a matter of women being have having access. mothers having access to the vote remotely. like, what kind of arcane leadership is he doing where a woman cannot vote? remotely? of course. that's a natural workforce enhancement that we should have. and i do believe when meeks this forward, that we will see the house follow suit. >> okay, let me talk specifically about illinois as we just sort of alluded to there, you're on the house committee on agriculture. illinois, a major exporter of agricultural products, one of the largest in the country, more than $13 billion in 2023, according to your state's agriculture department. how are
2:52 am
these tariffs going to impact farmers in your state? what are you hearing? >> well my goodness what are we get from canada? we get a lot of lumber from canada for our housing market. we get crude oil that we need for the refineries coming from canada. so we're immediately going to feel the shock and our gas prices that goes into asphalt and many other products. we're going to see a spike in our housing prices because of the tariffs that are coming in here. we also see the impacts of the manufacturing from aluminum that fills the fountain. these manufacturing facilities in the north, that's huge. the other part is on the exports of the soybean and corn. the chinese started investing heavily in brazil the last time there was a u.s. chinese trade dispute. and now we're going to see an increase in brazilian exports, a decrease in illinois exports of our soy and corn to the markets of china. and he's making the commodity markets come down. it's going to have less access to us farmers and our trade. we're pulling back on
2:53 am
usaid. so we're not going to be welcoming as many places. this is d-day in so many places around the world. and mr. trump has turned the the parking lot of the white house until i could use car lot one week the next week. he's now making with these big boards like, let's make a deal on the parking lot. or, you know, wheel of fortune. it's unbelievable. and we have people, energy and commerce committees that are prepared to make these decisions. he doesn't have to do this alone. so he's making america in some ways, in diplomatic circles, stand for the maga movement. i heard a diplomat tell me the other day, maga means to him, make america go away. he's turning people away from the goodness and goodwill of america. america built this world financial trade system after world war ii, and he's dismantling it single handedly. >> yeah, i mean, he's not doing it alone, though, right? i mean, he has the advice of those like his treasury secretary, scott bessent. and to that point, i want to play for you something the secretary told my colleague
2:54 am
kaitlan collins. take a listen. congressman. >> it depends on the country. but remember that the the history of trade is we are the deficit country. the deficit country has an advantage. they are the surplus countries, the surplus countries traditionally always lose any kind of a trade escalation. so i as a student of economic history or a professor of economic history, i'd advise against it. >> congressman, you have a masters in business. you have taught college finance. do you agree with his assessment? there? >> yes. you want to have people to have the united states dollar in the reserve. and so you do have have a deficit. what he's doing is unparalleled in breaking the chains and the ties, if you will, of the manufacturing and the global infrastructure. remember what he did at the last time he he started off with some great people, as in mr. rex tillerson
2:55 am
of exxon, one of the ceos and a great ceo of the world's largest oil company. he ended up not with ceo of mobil and rex tillerson. he ended up with mr. pillow. and so you're going to see people begin to defect when they find out that you cannot have a coordinated plan. he should bring this to the hill. people in the senate and the leadership talk to the people in the house leadership. there are many people that want to be a part of this conversation, not do it alone. >> okay. representative jonathan jackson, we appreciate you being here this morning. thank you. >> thank you. >> i'll take a quick break and we'll be. >> right back. >> cnn this morning with audie cornish next on cnn. >> did they just hop from a baseball game to a show on max without leaving direct tv? it's like all their. >> apps and channels. >> are connected. >> oh, it's. >> all connected. >> shows, movies, sports, cooking shows. >> oh. >> is she talking to us? >> tell me, how does direct.
