central bank head christine lagarde is speaking and in europe stocks up across the board. cheryl: we start this morning with china, they are vowing to retaliate if necessary as they work to reach a trade deal with the united states. that statement from president xi-jinping coming one day after china invited u.s. trade officials to beijing for a new round of trade talks. xi added that china has a positive attitude about the negotiations. talks reportedly hit a snag over purchases of u.s. farm products and when the u.s. would lift tariffs on chinese imports. an official at the u.s. chamber of commerce said a phase one deal may not be signed before a new set of tariffs on chinese goods takes effect in mid-december. a lot of back and forth with that breaking news. lauren: the markets respond when it comes to china. progress on a trade deal could be complicated by a bill approved in congress that supports the human rights and

the pro-democracy protesters in hong kong. prprotesters are calling on president trump to sign this bipartisan letter. lawmakers claim he has been far too silent on the issue. cheryl: china says the bill amounts to u.s. interference and the country's foreign ministry says it may respond with strong counter measures. we'll get a sense about how hong kong voters feel this weekend. more than 4 million people will vote on sunday in the first election since the protests began five months ago. a new report from politico says that trump administration officials are weighing whether or not to start a new trade investigation against the european union before the window close toss to add new automobile tariffs. the president had delayed a decision. if an investigation is open, the eu could be subject to larger scrutiny across a lot more industries. lauren: so europe, china, now mexico and canada and not this

year. house speaker nancy pelosi says she doubts the usmca will be passed before the end of 2019. that announcement has republicans questioning if democrats are spending too much time on impeachment and not enough time legislating. cheryl: we've got edward lawrence, he's got more from washington. >> reporter: the ball is in the administration's court, that's what nancy pelosi told me about the future of usmca. she says she wants to see more protections actually in the agreement, not just side papers related to it. she says for that reason, there may have to be more negotiations with mexico and canada before the process is said and done. in fact, all of that and the fact that the various committees have to sign off on the agreement is the reason she said yesterday that there may not be a ra ratification vote in the he on usmca this year. >> i'm not even sure if we came to an agreement today that it would be enough time to finish but just depends on how much agreement we come to.

>> reporter: there was no agreement. after the house takes it up, the senate will have to ratify usmca. kevin mccarthy tied usmca to the impeachment process. listen. >> speaker pelosi promised they were on a path to yes. today in her press conference she thought it was in doubt they could get it done this year. i guess they were too busy with the only goal of why they wanted to win the majority, to impeach the president. >> reporter: he says they were too busy with the impeachment process to get to a ratification vote at least up to now. there's is growing pressure from freshmen democrats to get the vote scheduled. the house speaker said she told the freshmen democrats the legislative process takes time and there may have to be renegotiations with canada and mexico so they will have to wait for the vote. lauren: elizabeth warren taking to twitter to call out mark zuckerberg for coy. >> iin.>>cozying up torepublicay

more government regulation comes for these platforms as well as harsher fines, even jail time for ceos, all as ways to address the growing issue and to curb hate speech. cheryl: well, another dc news, there's other dc stories to talk about this morning, a government shutdowshutdown has actually ben avoided at least for now. lauren: tracee carrasco here with the details. happy friday. tracee: good morning. just hours before the u.s. government was going to run out of money president trump signed a a short-term spending bill. it funds the government through december 20th, staging another budget battle when lawmakers return from the thanksgiving holiday. meanwhile, president trump is meeting today with state officials, medical professionals, nonprofits and industry ceos to discuss youth vaping and possible regulation. the president and other administration officials will get an opportunity to hear from that large group, representing a all sides as it continues to develop guidelines that protect the public health.

china plays the long game. we're in a good spot. we end up having growth. china is seeing a decline, a larger h decline than they anticipated. right now, we're seeing good growth. consumer's doing well. we're going into a christmas season that is probably going to be better than expected. china is on the other end of that. they have problems in hong kong and inflation is running rampant. lauren: you say the u.s. can afford to be patient. goldman sachs in their predictions for next year says trade tensions will ease, china's economy will stabilize at 5.8%. which is actually slow for chinese growth. now we have president trump with this bill that congress has passed. does he sign it to protect democracy in hong kong? >> i think that you have to if you're the be president, to just at least project that we're here for democracy and for the rule of law. and maybe the chinese take a step back and say okay, in the broader scheme of things, this doesn't mean as much. however, if we're looking at a longer term agreement with

china, this one phase, this is just a little bump along the. lauren: of a deal that's going to have many parts and obviously will take time. and one of the tools, i think you can use the word tools, that the president has ised fed chair jay powell and lower interest rates. the president said maybe even negative interest rates. this what is the ceo of bank of america has to say about that. >> the reason why we have positive interest rates is because our economy is growing at 2% plus. we should feel good that the u.s. has positive rates. lauren: feel good that the u.s. have positive rates? >> yes, i do. the whole cycle -- people forget, you give money as a saver into a bank which then loans it out. if we have negative rates, that stops the cycle. by cutting rates, currency becomes cheaper. here with the u.s., because of europe, japan, and china, we're actually putting tariffs in which offset the lower currency rates. lauren: our growth is stronger

than many of those countries that you name. >> correct. lauren: i'm going to name other countries right now. cuba, venezuela, and a lot of folks are saying, look, if some on the left, left, like senator warren and her wealth tax actually is what we're headed towards, that could be disastrous for the u.s. economy. listen to ken lango, a billionaire, yesterday on varney. >> if she wins or somebody like her wins, biden or -- they've all got to move to the left because they've made such a passionate commitment to the left. so whoever wins has got to redeem some of those promises are. lauren: he basically says she's going to make a mess of the country and then republicans have to come in for decades to fix it. how ugly can it get if any of those policies go through? >> capitalism is about incentives. if you change the incentive and not make it positive for someone to go out and create capital -- that man has created more jobs probably than most individuals

in the united states or the world. if you're going to cut off that potential, we're going to see -- instead of worrying about jobs in the united states -- it could change quickly. look at argentina and look at venezuela. you went through a 10, 15 year period where you went from one of the richest countries in south america to one of the poorest and civil war. lauren: lang you for joining us. -- thank you for joining us. cheryl: baby boomers are expected to give $36 trillion to their kids over the next 30 years. as of 2016, only 16% of investable assets were held by people under 50 years of age which is nearly half of what it was back in 1989. still ahead, would you trade in your ford f-150 for an electric delorean-like pickup truck? silicon valley's brand-new ride is shaking up the auto industry but there might be some snags. we're going to talk about it and you're l wallet is going to

the primary candidates or was it the largest focus on impeachment and going after president trump rather than focusing on pocketbook issues and the economy. let's ask gabl gabby orr. i was looking at the demographic, they had weakness in the younger demographic. i thought the democrats were hoping the younger voter would be energized by the warrens and sanders and come out and pay attention and they're not. what do you make of that? >> on the one hand, it is important to look at the ratings for the debate, to get a sense of how many primary voters are tuning in for the debates. on the other hand, i think it's important not to confl a ate viewership of a democratic primary debate with actual voter turnout at the primary polls in iowa and new hampshire and other

early state contests coming up. there's a certain level of apathy among young voters. that's always the case. they don't turn out as often as older voters. they get their news from other venues, other avenues. youtube is very popular. tuning into a two and-a-half hour debate in the evening on cable news is not something young voters are going to do. that's why you've seen a lot of the candidates, tulsi gabbard, andrew yang, pete buttigieg, reach out to young voters and try to attract them in different ways. cheryl: let's talk about michael bloomberg getting into the fray. he filed with the federal election commission, hasn't had the formal big reveal that he's running but obviously he's running for something, i'm just kidding, no, but he did file the paperwork yesterday. again, is bloomberg too late and is the slow rollout that he seems to be doing with his campaign maybe hurting him? >> yeah, for all intents and purposes he is now running for

president, based on the paperwork that he's filed. and if he had launched his campaign around the p same time that a lot of the other candidates did, earlier this year, february, march, he would have likely been a very formidable candidate. he could occupy the centrist lane that both biden and mayor pete are trying to run in. but it is really late in the contest and i think one thing that a lot of democratic voters have realized is you can't buy your way to an election. and we've seen that with tom steyer. we've seen that with other self-funded candidates. and so it is important to realize that he might have the appeal of some voters but it's not going to be enough to propel him to first or second or even third place in iowa or new hampshire and those are critical voting states for somebody like mayor bloomberg. cheryl: in the middle of this you've got former president barack obama chiming in, he made the comments that democrats need to chill out and focus on beating president trump. he was alluding to the attacks between the different

candidates, going after each other. isn't that what a debates is a all about? >> i think obama is looking at this and realizing that over the course of the last six months, every single person runing in the democratic primary field has tacked more and more to the left and it's starting to pose n a existential risk to the party itself. president obama said chill out because he doesn't want candidates to engage in the purity tests, doesn't want them to move more to the left because it's alienating voters every single time. i've talked to trump campaign officials, they say they want the contest to be on substance, less on person a at. every time a democrat says they're going to take something away, whether it's private health insurance or guns, that helps us in the long run and that's i think what you're hearing the former be president worry about. cheryl: on to next week. gabby orr, thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. lauren: coming up, the most
