friday. that's it for today. have a great week.y we will see you next fox news sunday. the white house defending presidents plan to impose sweeping new tariffs. arguing that the trade partners will not follow through on their threat to retaliate. president trump setting up a heated debate last night with a surprise announcement that the u.s. well now tax steel imports at 25% and aluminum at 10%. the president is expected to sign the measure in the coming days. there will be no exemptions to the tariffs in saint the policy is all about putting america first. >> let's think about what the mission is here. to defend our steel and

aluminum industries so that they survive and as the in as the president said clearly incorrectly we can't have a country without a steel and aluminum industry. >> a growing number of conservatives are coming out against the plan calling it reckless and a threat to the economy. >> it's bad enough in the steel and aluminum case but the tweets by the president including a tweet about responding on german autos on friday suggest that he thinks a trade war is easy that it is winnable, it is it. no one wins a trade war especially in the globalized days. molly has the latest from washington. president trump spoke by phone today with thersea may and her office says she expressed her deep concern about the impending tariff. the president has said that the u.s. is on the losing side of many trade deals and if the tariffs spark a trade war they

are good and easy to win. here is how his advisors explain that. the president was saying that because we have a big deficit on the other sides have big gains from trade's they have much more to lose in the trade war than we do. >> the reason why the president is doing this is because if he doesn't do this they will lose of the aluminum industry very quickly. in part because country such as china over produced medals and dump them on the u.s. markets elsewhere. it leads them to say they should take a more targeted approach. the reason our steel industry has been decimated is because of china dumping. china is your problem mister president. trying to level the playing

field. if they are charging them 25 percent for us to send our goods to their shores and they are coming into our market don't you think it should be tit-for-tat and basically equal. the united steelworkers labor union is asking that canada be exempt from the tariff but at this point the trumpet administration said there will be no exemptions. molly, thank you. for more on this. let's bring in eliza collins. this is something that is such a fascinating topic. we never have a positive in today's cycle as things go forward. let's talk about what the president did. he ran on this. he went to the rust belts. america first. and he campaigned in successfully one. in the steel industries. in a sense is he trying to

keep the promise that he made it to those voters. he is trying to keep the promise. and president trump is very proud of those. he always talks about his voters in the states. and those are the manufacturing states. his party that is where the problem and the divide is. if senator lindsey graham went on and off again with the president. for criticizing what he did. this is great. and important to mention that he is in tough reelection. and actually really actually really helps him. and there is a democrat in ohio. also in tough reelections. i agree with president trump on this. it has been fascinating to see the back and forth. it explains the imbalance as a

buick. they talk free trade and they practice perfectionism. they are far more protectionist then we are. china's tariffs 25 percent. that is a funny kind of comparative advantage. i makes this argument about leveling the playing field. they had been pushing back. they had expressed fears that other countries will act in a reciprocal manner. what is the impact of not been being on the same page with a lot of the folks in their own party. we will have to see. it's not helpful when our own party. this is something they feel so strongly about. people who are not usually critical of the president. some of the concerns like

agriculture and something that they're really concerned will be hit hard. they are trying to get out in front of this and separate themselves from the president and another thing republicans say and they told me this is that they feel really good about the tax reform. they are concerned that these tariffs will be it will be really difficult to run in 2018. as he looks towards these midterm elections it really depends on what district you are in. maybe this will be something that will be helping the republican candidates. they have argued in essence this could also hurt the economy. that businesses could potentially had to shell out more money to get heavy equipment that they might need. so when the economy struggles and people plant this and say you mister president you are

at fault for this. is that one of the risks he takes when he steps away republicans are worried that they will get blamed just by association. right now we have a president who is historically unpopular and they're hoping that the economy is going to save them. the fact that the stock market is at an all-time high on thursday they made the big announcement. it takes this die. this is a president that has been known to crow a little bit. should he see this as a warning. i imagine that his advisors are telling him to take a look at this. people in the on administration was not aware.

he should certainly stop tying himself to the ups and downs of the stock market. we also to take credit when it's low. we are to bring back it back a little bit later on in the show. deep in trump country. the president himself even planning to pay a visit. but do they really have anything to worry about and that little corner of western pennsylvania. new developments in the nuclear showdown. with north korea. they are raising the possibility of direct talks while speaking to a crowd of a journalist. we have more on that in the white house. >> for the most part that dinner was lighthearted about in between the jokes.

president trump got serious and he talked about north korea. he told the room that north korea had recently reached out and wanted to talk. i won't rule out direct talks i just won't as far as the risk of dealing with the madman is concert concerned that's his problem not mine. they by the way called a couple of days ago and said we would like to talk. i said so would we but we have to be the new. it is quoted as spokesperson with the nose north korea industry. they're open to talks with the u.s. but without preconditions and well neither beg for dialogue nor invade the military option claimed by the u.s. the report also said north korea is threatening to counter the u.s. if they hold joint act activity. they didn't talk about the exercises during his speech at the grid iron dinner but they mentioned it when they were in south korea for the olympic

closing ceremonies. they are set to start in april. the president has a very busy week starting today. he is set to meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and also he is expected to meet this week. it is never slow in washington. thank you very much. they have arrived in washington. it comes as they face the growing corruption scandal. it could trigger early elections. in the aftermath the controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital. there was always the looming threat of iran. >> what it comes down to with respect to iran.

it's two basic things. their continued pursuit of weapons. forget the nuclear deal for a minute. whatever technology north korea has they can go tomorrow for the right price. they are continuing with the financial support for international tariff. but right now. and that is what we should be focusing on. in terms of middle east strategy. with more from jerusalem. he will visit with president trump and meet with other administration officials. the american embassy. between israelis and palestinians. very little evidence so far.

like previous administration. there are currently a for open investigations. though he has yet to be charged. the governing conservative hold though. with the closest allies. they would certainly like to replace him. it will provide some positive press. they are reporting from jerusalem. the special counsel is expanding the scope beyond russia to another part of the world that may have tried to gain influence inside the white house.

special counsel robert mueller would be expanding his russia investigation. his team is looking into when it was looking to gain political influence before and after the presidential election. they are following the story from washington. >> special counsel robert mueller is looking into ties between the american businessman. according to the time sources investigators want to know if there any attempts by members of the uae to buy a political favor or influence through campaign money. the businessman was a frequent visitor to the trump white house in 2017 and advised the trap -- top trump and he has been a sordid advisor. to one of the leaders of the uae. now they are interviewing witnesses about the influence and.

>> we could not understand why the trump administration was so firmly taking the side of the dispute. the present elation would suggest that they were moving beyond that. it was there for at least three years. all of this comes after the investigation last month indicted 13 russian nationals and three russian entities for their role in an alleged plot to interfere in the russian election. they had secured eight guilty plea from rick gates on money laundering. in the power is still out for

the country debates president trump's plan for a new debate. it could come down to the wire. echoes all hands on deck as numbers show that democratic congress while they pour money into the district that the president one by double digits. let's bring back elijah cohen. i think that. thanks for coming back. i just want to see that. they need to flip 24 seats. here is a balance of power chart. that is what we are looking at. the democrats would love to snag a victory here in the 18th congressional district.

it could be a tough spot for them as a just mentioned this was a district that the president won by 20 points has been safely in republican hands for about 15 years. a very conservative republican. up against a young democrat. yet it's very close what does it mean that it's so close and what would it mean if connerly and the democrat could pull off the upset victory. what both republicans and republicans will see. as he is is he is a strong democrat. he is anti- abortion pro-gun with each they have the levels. he is a really strong fundraiser as you just mentioned. in democrats say they would not had thought they have any chance in this district had he not been the candidate.

he is not as strong as a fundraiser. part of it was just personality. the last two times the previous congressman ran unopposed. this is not somewhere at the democrats would normally target. a lot of democratic enthusiasm. they are hoping that they can take that and impress him in the strong fundraising and when this. and they would consider this a huge victory. president trump is still very popular there. they are running as closely as possible. they are actually not even distancing himself. he's not running next to him because he's a democrat. he's been careful not to criticize him. >> i had covered this race.

about this money issue and they said from the beginning they expect to have the money they will need. i mention this earlier they had been considerably. for the 700,000. but there is a lot of outside money coming into this race and a lot of it on their side. some major television ads and a lot of them are tempting to tie him to washington. as they mention this is not a candidate that is painting himself as a progressive. we will just head to see. that conversation i had have with them. they are pouring money in your exactly right. what they are going into the 2018 midterms with. she was popular in her own district. in the south and the midwest.

she is too liberal for the democratic party. they're going to try to do that. i wouldn't vote for her. what is another strategy. he'll be willing to work with the president and the even talked about the tariffs. they said they support the plan to put it in place. he is a far cry from many democrats running. i could go with this president on some things. as you mentioned one of my 20 points. being any more left i think would be a harder time. they do not had this in the bag.

this is just from mid february. it was 49-46. pretty tight for this pro- trump district. i am staying away from this. but it's close. and at three points is within the margin of error and that most point. we have to see how president trump does. they are going down there and a lot of money in tv ads between now and next tuesday. is there anything we can get a read on. and even if he doesn't win and

it's close. they will say we kept it. i imagine they will still be nervous. they have to reckon with our candidate who is not quite in line with some of their base. pretty far center. they will have to have their own reckoning. who is the best candidate to read -- when those districts. just in early exit polls. there is no clear victory in the national election. there could be some political uncertainty. a conservative coalition led by former prime minister sylvia broadus coney appears to be the largest one.

stay with fox for continued development on the story. on march 7, 1965 the nation came face-to-face with harsh realities of racism. hundreds of people descended upon selma alabama to commemorate the event known as blood a sunday. and alabama senator doug jones. this is the one of the most amazing things they could do. we have to continue to make sure we understand that. fifty-three years ago. two march from selma alabama to montgomery.

but alabama and the governor ordered state troopers to use whatever means necessary to stop the march. armed with clubs and gas masks. some even on horseback charged the protesters on the bridge. the nation watched on tv. bloodied men and women and children gasping for air as they are fired canisters in a day that would become known as bloodied sunday. i think it's important that we remember. he led a prayer session at the bridge. 25,000 protesters marched to the capital. georgia representative john lewis let him finish. which galvanized lyndon

johnson. the representative of lewis a lewis a civil rights icon was injured unlovely sunday. they never gave up never gave in. they outlawed discriminatory practices ensuring that all of them are guaranteed. the right to vote. those images are still so chilling today. it landed a california mayor at the center of the feud between the trump administration and sanctuary cities. why is that teachers strike in west virginia so going on.

the answer when we come back. with that in mind we are going to stay united. beyond is a natural pet food

that goes beyond assuming ingredients are safe... to knowing they are. going beyond expectations... because our pets deserve it. beyond. natural pet food. a statewide teacher strike will continue on monday after optimism over negotiations turned sour. they have negotiated down to 4%. i believe our superintendents are with them.

there were some things. and they are with us. we are not going back. teachers need better pay they say a 4% hike would save the state $17 million. the salary for west virginia teachers is among the lowest in the country starting at and about $33,000. a four-day raid in the bay area is now the focus in the ongoing battle between ice and sanctuary cities. 232 illegal immigrants were arrested a number of them and acting directors if he did not warn people about the raid. she is defending her actions saying she felt like it was her duty to alert residents. the white house claiming her

actions actually put people in harm's way. for more on this let's send it over to dan springer live in los angeles. the war of words between the trump administration in the sanctuary cities escalated this week following the unprecedented warning from the oakland mayor the day before they fanned out across the bay area. they tipped off all of the illegal immigrants saying she have a sources telling her the raids were imminent. even with the warning though. they were still arresting 2032 people including a hundred 15 convicted felons and other dangerous criminals. the mayor defended her moves. she considers herself part of the trump and ice resistance. they ask the department of justice to look into charging shaft with obstruction of justice. a former federal prosecutor said that charges will be filed but does see a dangerous wedge between law enforcement. the most likely thing is that they are going to increase the presence in the area and decided decide that they can't

trust law enforcement. you rely on those relationships. and we had been seen a stepped up ice and forced it and sanctuary cities overall the arrests were up 41 percent in 2017 and for example in new york city sought 87 court house arrest last year compared only six and 2016. the local judge went so far as to help a illegal immigrant escape out the employee entrance to the courtroom. they all has tensions in boiling between immigrant rights groups and supporters. and across the country in new haven connecticut. they remained in the hot button issue that never seems to cool down. thank you. let's take a look now at the red carpet in hollywood. as tinseltown holds the first academy awards since the scandal that sparked the me to movement. the experts make some predictions and would you agree.
