additional tariffs on everything from cheese and whiskey to metals and chemicals. they may hit. lauren: this would add to the roughly $21 billion of proposed tariffs that the u.s. proposed in april. at the heart of the matter, competing claims from the us that the eu subsidizes airbus and from the european union that the u.s. subsidizes boeing and while president trump prepares for what could be another trade war, a recent associated press poll shows most voters don't approve of the way he has been handling the economy, 51% disapprove. that's what the president has here or has had so far, the economy. cheryl: in that same poll, 44% say they see the economy getting worse over the next year. lauren: certainly a talking point for 2020 and many many of the 2020 democratic presidential hopefuls including former vice president joe biden and california senator kamala harris will hold their campaign events

to retailers and, well, some of them fetching as much $2,500 in an online auction site. you know what the wall street journal said about this? the company makes a donation to trump's re-election. if it helps him in the end. cheryl: we're following that story. we're also following tipped tensions with the country of iran. president trump tweeted early this morning about it, saying iran was violating the $150 billion plus $1.8 billion in cash nuclear deal with the united states and others who paid nothing long before i became president. it may have now breached their stockpile limit. not good. lauren: we have more from jerusalem. >> reporter: the standoff between the united states and iran continues after iran breached the you uranium stockpile limit laid of out in the iran nuclear deal. the country's foreign minister said it believes iran believes

has not violated the deal. according to the terms, iran cannot possess more than 300 kilograms of low enriched uranium, a limit that has been surpassed. the united states unilaterally withdrew from the iran nuclear deal last year before imposing sanctions on the country. leadership in tehran is believed to have ordered a series of attacks on western linked oil infrastructure this summer before shooting down a u.s. drone. u.s. central command confirmed a dozen f-22 fighter jets were deployed to ca quarter qatar la. there was a response from tehran's parliament. >> mr. trump needs to understand that when you lose this language against a civilized language you become more united. if he were to understand this a lot of the problems had they

$2.5 billion. i had to go to the united states government. i had to convince the senate and the house, it had to go to the president of the united states, he had to sign an act. lauren: he wrote two best-selling books, even considered running for president. he was tapped by president ronald reagan to head a campaign to restore the statue of liberty. ford issued a statement on his death. lee iacoca was bigger than life and left a mark on ford and the a automobile industry and our country. i will always appreciate how encouraging he was to me at the beginning of my career. he was one of a kind and will be dearly missed. he was a legend of american business, reportedly died from complications of parkinson's disease. he was 94 years old. cheryl: love history about from bill ford that you just read. well, here are some other headlines we are p watching for

cheryl: the united states is turning up the pressure on the european union, threatening to impose new tariffs on european imports. just as it restarts trade talks with china is the u.s. about to launch a trade war with europe. let's bring in eric lund, senior economist. good morning to you. we've got a lot of trade wars that are brewing around the world. what do you make of this latest fight between the u.s. and the eu? it kind of seems to come down to airbus and to boeing. >> absolutely.

no, this disagreement between the u.s. and the eu over boeing and airbus actually goes back many, many years. it's not a disagreement that's unique to the current u.s. administration. so it's something that's actually not quite as new as the u.s.-china dispute, for instance. it's also being channeled through the wto, which is a little different as well. so the scale in terms of the number of tariffs that are in question relative to what is currently happening between the u.s. and china is a lot lower as well. so it is concerning and something to be watched but it hasn't got tone the many same level as the u.s.-china dispute. cheryl: what about the risk to the consumer? we talked about the risk to the u.s. economy and the u.s. consumer when it comes to chinese goods. now we're talking about food, we're talking about cheese, we're talking about pasta. not that we don't get food from china. we do. this is another layer. some people say tariffs are a

tax on the consumer. you're not worried about the economy if these tariffs are imposed? >> you know, tariffs certainly do have an impact on the consumer, although it really depends on the product. some companies are able to absorb the tariffs themselves. sometimes they're pushed up the supply chain to the buyers in china and -- or the producer in china and in europe. so it is something to watch in terms of the impact on the average american household. but i don't think we've really seen it really propagate to the level people have been concerned about. cheryl: on the issue of europe, christine lagard who has been running the imf is up for ecb president to replace march he yomariodraghi. what do you make of that? president trump hasn't been happy with mario draghi. what do you make of the christine laguard choice. >> i think she has great experience. she is respected, well-known. she has a lot of experience

fightinfighting crisis at the i. i think it's a positive choice. cheryl: we'll be looking for that confirmation. she would be the first female to run that bank. thank you very much. have a great 4th of july. lauren: some american farmers have been left unprotected under the ad administration's new usma trade deal. cheryl: jackie deangeles has all the h the details. >> reporter: we are here in georgia where we've been talking to farmers about their concerns over usmca. this has been a problem for them over the years. the competition with mexico, the playing field not being level and here in georgia, what's at stake is a lot, as a matter of fact. recent study saying that almost $900 million, the max numb in terms of revenue, could be lost here if changes aren't made and potentially 8600 jobs. part of the problem is wages. here in the united states, workers have to be paid so much

more than they do in mexico. and the other part of it is subsidies. in mexico, the government is paying its farmers subsidies and it becomes difficult to compete. what we're talking about specifically is produce products. you can see in this field behind me, they're growing things like squash, zucchini and melons. that's where the price differentials become really large. it's goten so bad that some farmers say they just don't know about the future of their crops. sam watson, somebody that i spoke to, said this. >> i'm kind of at a crossroads where i can't just walk away. we owe a lot of money. but it is a thing where we're constantly trying to figure out what else can we grow or do different going forward. spring bell pepper 2020, i don't think i can do it. squash 2020, maybe. this is a whole lot cheaper to grow. >> reporter: farmers are concerned about the generations to come after them and passing

their businesses along to their children. bill brim told me this is the only thing he knows how to do. >> i'm worried to death. i've been doing this for 33 years. this is my life. i don't know what i can -- what else i can do, you know. if we can't get some help with usmca or some kind of solutions to help us in the future, we're going to be out of business. >> reporter: president trump tweeted this weekend that his approval rating from farmers is 74% and down here in georgia, even though the farmers are struggling, they do support him. they just wish he could do more for them and their businesses and their future. lauren: we'll talk more about approval ratings in just a bit. still ahead, all eyes on the southern border. why more and more democrats finally agree, yes, there's a crisis. and the bizarre way the dairy industry wants to get kids drinking milk. keep it here on "fbn: a.m." ♪ closing in tight. ♪ always in mind.

cheryl: military tanks rolling to the streets of washington, d.c. ahead of president trump's salute to america. the 4th of july celebration is facing backlash, pitting patriotism against politics. lauren: jared tenney is live in washington, d.c. as we prepare to celebrate our independence. it has become very controversial. good morning, garrett. >> reporter: good morning to you. this display of american military might will be both on the ground and in the air for tomorrow's salute to america celebration. in addition to those tanks which came all the way up from georgia, the event will feature flyovers from each branch of the military including a b2 stealth habomber, as well as air force

one, marine one and an ariel he show by the blue angels. president trump said the event will be all about america. >> it's going to be about this country, and it's a salute to america. we're going to have planes going overhead, the best fighter jets in the world and other planes too. and we're going to have some tanks stationed outside. >> reporter: a number of democrats are not happy about the event, though, and argue the president is turning an independence day celebration into a personal campaign rally. >> it is a partisan act, what he is doing a partisan act. he's politicized the 4th of july before he opens his mouth. >> reporter: another concern from lawmakers is the price tag which has not been disclosed. new mexico's senator said the american people deserve to know how much of their money the president is spending to turn their 4th of july celebration into a de facto campaign rally.

one area the president will be able to save a few bucks is fireworks. he tweeted thanks to phantom fireworks for their generosity in donating the biggest fireworks show washington, d.c. has ever seen, adding it will be the greatest 4th of july celebration in our nation's history. a number of counter protests are planned for thursday including one by the group, code pink, which has been granted a permit to fly the baby trump bay hoon n the national mall. it will be hard to see because the national park service said they cannot use heel limb, will- lealimb,--helium. lauren: as we head into the 4th of july holiday, a recent gallup poll makes it sound like there won't be as many celebrating. 45% said they're extremely proud to be american, far off the high of 70% in 2003.

let's bring in washington examiner commentary writer, tiana lowe. you heard garrett's report. how does this play out politically in terms of the president's re-election? >> whenever there is sort of chaos, especially oversea as we've had with the whole iran situation, domestically with these e jean carol allegations, it leads to a sense where voters don't necessarily feel they stable with the president, even with the economy doing as well as it does. when things are not happening, the country is doing well. you know, i mean, despite a semi-weak jobs report last month, the economy has been keep on kicking along. it seems as though people respond to a sense of instability when it comes to their interpretation of the president. lauren: you were speaking of the economy and we do on friday get the june jobs report. we're starting to see cracks in the economy and with that, there

are some polls that show voters and those that are polled how they feel about the economy is translating into a decline in the president's overall approval rating. is that going to hurt him in 2020? >> certainly. i mean, the number one thing that will hurt trump, it has nothing to do with any of the 2020 nominees. realistically, if you look at the polling, only one in five americans polled from cnn want to replace our entire healthcare system with abolishing private l health insurance, raising taxes, having medicare for all. the number one issue for trump is the economy begins to tank. we are overdue for a recession. we have a couple bubbles in the economy, the housing bubble, the student loan bubble, and if trump trade wars continues to cacareen offroad, if that crashs the gdp growth, begins to spike unemployment and spike inflation, we're in trouble.

lauren: we also have a crisis at the border. we do a lot of polls in this segment. cnn finds that 74% of people now say there is a crisis at the border. it's not manufactured. it's for real. what -- d how do we get congress to fix this problem? what is the solution here, since both sides agree there's a problem, there's a crisis. >> immediately get a third safe country agreement with mexico, immediately fund more facilities at the border, it's overcrowded and immediately get democrats at the table to change asylum laws. the issue was never about a wall, it was about the incentive structure of our asylum law that's attracts people to many come here in the first place. lauren: we're out of time but so much to discuss. we appreciate you coming on this morning. thank you. >> thank you. cheryl: and taking a look at hour money is moving this morning. take a look at some green arrows. you're welcome. dow up a 55 in the premarket, s&p up 7 and three quarters,

nasdaq up 30. coming up, the president calling it a very sad time for america as the question of citizenship falls off the 2020 census. is there another legal path that he can pursue? and we are just three days into july, but amazon is already thinking about kids heading back to school. we've got details coming up on "fbn: a.m.." ♪

lauren: 's get you caught up on global market action. in the u.s., record high for the s&p 500, shortened trading session today, s&p is up another 7 points. the dow just 42 points away from its own record. it is up 62 in the premarket. investors are showing a flight to safety if you will. we have the yield on the 10 year

below 2% at 1.95%, gold also rallying today as is the japanese yen. eyes out on the calendar, what we're expecting. you have the adp employment numbers, jobless claims today, factory orders and of course on friday the june jobs report. we'rwe're watching the price ofl recover a little bit, up 45-cents. stocks in asia in the red, the south korean market down 1 and a quarter percent, the chinese market down 1% and this is how stocks are trading in europe, of course europe is poised to nominate chri christine laguardo run the european central bank. cheryl: back in this country, the citizenship question has been officially dropped from the 2020 census after the supreme court blocked the administration from adding it. president trump making his displeasure known, tweeting, in part, a very sad time for america. the president suggested the

administration will continue the efforts to add the question to the national head count. let's bring in attorney misty maris. is there another legal path to be taken here? >> well, what's interesting is that the supreme court in their ruling really did leave the door open, ajar, so robert's decision said the administration could submit additional evidence as to why the citizenship question is necessary and why it would help in enforcing the voting rights act which was the rational and the basis in the administration's arrestingment for including the question. so -- arrestingment for including the -- argument for including the question. it is a timing issue. the census needed to be printed by july 1st. it impacts funding. it impacts the amount of seats every state is going to get in the house. so they were a little bit boxed in here. the supreme court left the door open but it's almost impossible to get that information in a timely manner. cheryl: also, a lot of

democratic mayors and governors complained and maybe this will be revisited the next time we do the census, that look, they'll be getting less federal money, they get fewer representatives in the house, especially minorities, hispanics, if they weren't counted in all this. i can't help but wonder if there's a fear out there if they'll see the census questionnaire if they'll ignore it. >> the controversy has exploded. we could see that happen and we won't have the accurate count that is the necessity, that everybody believes we do need that accurate count. cheryl: another big legal story, i've got to ask you about the case of navy seal edward gallagher, this was late-breaking yesterday. he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers, military peers, of murdering an isis fighter, a teenage isis fighter. i know you've been following the case. what did you make of the decision last night. >> i have to say, this was one

of those trials that you're watching with baited breath. there's a prosecution witness who drops a bombshell during the trial. the prosecution witness, a medic, said that he was the one who actually killed gallagher. when that testimony came out, the question was did gallagher kill the victim, kill this di detainee and his answer was no. that's not something we often see in a trial, where you hear a bombshell during the testimony. given that, i was not surprised by the verdict. that really takes the wind out of the sails for any murder charge. cheryl: it really has been a nail-biter of a case to follow out of california. and he's going to be free for the 4th of july. we should add to our viewers, he'll be on fox and friends later today. that will be interesting. misty, thank you for all the help this morning. happy fourth. >> you too. lauren: speaking of the fourth, wall street will close early today and is closed tomorrow in celebration, reopens friday and we get the june jobs report.

with all that going on, you have the s&p 500 setting its second straight record close. mostly on hopes for a trade deal between the u.s. and china. we bring in francis newton stacy. good morning to you. >> hey, good morning, lauren. lauren: are these levels justified by the data in the trade environment or is the market on cruise control, traders already at the beach, cocktail in hand? >> i think the market's on cruise control. i think volatility is pretty low, considering as you said the all-time highs. i think traders usually like to come in and short all-time highs highs, it's an obvious trade. i don't think anybody wants to be short ahead of a potential trump tweet about a china deal or any news developing on that front and i think what's priced into the markets as far as rate cuts, we're still expecting the rate cuts in july and the market's going to be trading on those hopes as well. lauren: speaking of a potential rate cut in july, we'll get a huge piece of data for that decision and it comes on friday

with the june jobs report. what are you expecting for the government to report then? >> well, i think the rate cut in july is sort of priced into the market. i think it's going to be september because they haven't stopped reducing the balance sheet. the jobs number is going to confirm whether we are decelebrating. growth and inflation look like they're derating and looks like we'll head towards a profits recession. if you have a profits recession, hiring gets put on hold. this is very, very typical end of business sigh cycle type st. i'm looking for surprises that would indicate we're anything other than the end of the sigh l kell. however, i think -- sigh kim cy. however, i think markets can stay complacent for a while waiting for a trade deal. lauren: do you think we're at the end of cycle or close to it? >> i do, actually. we're accelerating to the del acceleration. we'rdeceleration. we're accelerating to the -- lauren: how much does a trade

deal change that narrative, change the situation. do we restart the cycle if we get the deal? >> the cycle is still going to occur. the business cycle has been rolling over for a few hundred years. so that's sort of what happens. it's kind of baked into the overall debt mechanism. but the pmi numbers around the globe are looking kind of sour and those are the sort of things and the fed as much as they ease, they cannot print earnings reports and it's going to be really tough to take out the 2018 comps for earnings. so i think we peaked the cycle in 2018. lauren: we've season so many, an alarming number of preannouncements that are negative in terms of q2 earnings. francis, thank you. happy fourth. >> thank you, lauren, you too. cheryl: her point is well-taken. global markets will be open. one tweet could change everything. still ahead, coming up 41 million americans hitting the road for theth. the fourth but there are deals and steals if you
