>> he's gorgeous. i'll cradle him. all day long. all right. congratulations. thanks for joining us. spike, glad you're here. i'm dana perino. next, shep smith. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast. 3:00 in washington. 10:00 p.m. in moscow with a kremlin insider says president trump has invited vladimir putin to a white house sit-down. in person. come on over. the white house confirms the two men talked about it but no solid plans, not yet, that we know of. this comes during tense times with the russians obviously. nations around the world boot russian diplomats, blaming the kremlin for an attack on a former spy. a deal to protect the dreamers is dead. that from president that killed daca in the first place. last week he promised not to abandon young immigrants. now he's calling on republican lawmakers to use the nuclear option to security the border.

we'll explain. president trump slapped china with import taxes. fears of a trade war, remember? assurances that china would never retaliate, remember? they just retaliated and now there's feel of a real trade war along with trouble in tech wars. serious market implications. let's get to it. the news is breaking on multiple fronts. we'll begin with the markets in the tank today on the heels of chinese retaliation to president trump's foreign tariffs and a trump tweet attacking amazon. a live look at the dow jones industrial average. 100 points off the low. at one point, the dow was off 700 points. off 3%. that's more than the dow lost in the entire first quarter of this year and the worst start to a quarter since the great depressi

depression. the s&p 500 is off 3% today alone. the nasdaq off 3.5%. all three indices down for the year and officially in correction territory, which means they're down more than 10% from recent highs. so what happened? well, it's simple, really, according to the analysts. first, president trump imposed tariffs on imports. today china raised tariffs on more than 100 u.s. products. chinese officials now confirm the chinese move was a direct response to president trump's import taxes on steel and aluminum which took effect ten days ago. economists say this is the beginning of a trade war that they fear could go on for quite some time. investors say they were worry other countries could follow suit. the fall in tech stocks is also on president trump. mr. trump continues to pound on amazon. he again tweeted the post office

is losing money on amazon. that is not true. the post office reports its making money on amazon. the president is again asserting that amazon does not pay sales taxes. that too is false. but even when presidential tweets last truth, they pack juice and amazon is on pace for its biggest point loss effort. gerri willis is here with the top story. this is about one thing. jeff bezos. he's over amazon, over the "wall street journal." i'm sorry. over "the washington post" and "the washington post" has been reporting on troubles in his white house and he doesn't like it. >> if amazon were in the dow right now, that market would be down -- >> hang on a second. her mic needs to be up. >> i was going to say -- >> shepard: your mic is turned off. so if amazon was in the dow

jones industrial average, that index would be down another 500 pounds. >> shepard: go on. >> that would be a big impact. the impact of amazon. right now what investors are doing, what traders are doing is looking for companies that have lots of sales in china. you're talking about tariffs. what china did today, they imposed tariffs, taxes on 25% of u.s. imports. pork, scrap aluminum, 10% on fruit. so what is going on? >> shepard: why did this start? why did the president put tariffs on exports in the first place? >> because he believes that china dominates that and that they makes us at a -- they don't pay the full 48 for their production. the country backrolls that industry. so he thinks it should be a fairer footing. so he raised taxes on steel. >> shepard: when you do that,

u.s. people pay more for their products. >> yes. it's a tax on americans. >> shepard: and then the chinese raise prices on things we do every day. think of what a tariff on pork is going to do to farmers in iowa. and regular folks across the nation at your supermarkets, kroger and giant eagle and walmart or where you buy food. it's all going up at the piggly wiggly. >> and soy beans. we're the biggest supplier of soy beans. >> if they hit soy beans, we have a new world. >> and boeing. china is a big consumer of boeing airplanes. lot of ways this has ramifications down the road. traders are looking across the board at all companies and saying, where do they have big sales in china. intel has 23%. corning,22%. starbucks 20%. so lots of companies you may never have expected have big exposure to china and that's why

you're seeing this major route on stocks. i spoke to a trader. i said what are you doing? he said i'm selling. >> i want to talk about amazon. on the amazon side, he's said for multiple days two things that are just completely untrue. one is about the post office and one is about taxes. >> the president says that amazon is doing its business on the back of the post office. the post office gives them a free ride. post office says no. amazon says no. amazon says we made the post office open up an additional day so we can pay even more. >> shepard: if they didn't use the post office, they would use fed ex or ups. all sides of this matter, except the president, we want to them and said here's the deal. can you give us a deal on this? the post office says it's profitable. on the other side, on the matter of paying taxes, every state doesn't have taxes. in the state where they do have sales taxes, amazon pays them. actually you and i pay them when we use amazon.

>> right. >> shepard: here's the tweet in the wall. >> here's the tweet from donald trump. only fools says that our post office makes money with amazon. they lose a fortune and this will be changed. >> shepard: that's not true. >> and tax retailers, clothing stores all over the country, not a level playing field. let's point out one thing here, a lot of the mom and pop retailers are on amazon. amazon is a mall. not all of their sales go into amazon. >> shepard: a digital mall. >> so all of those folks, they're benefitting from this, too. >> shepard: they say it's not a level playing field. that's the same to say when walmart came in, it wasn't a level playing field because they had buying power. it's true. it wasn't. it's a big company now. that's called capitollism. >> shepard: right. nobody wanted to put walmart out of business. >> ken brown is here from the "wall street journal." candice is here from herd on

street column. it's a trade war, but how do you slow down or stop a trade war? >> well, you don't put out tweets every day about these things. you negotiate. that's what's happening. mnuchin may go to china in the next couple weeks. they talk. the good thing from our perspective, china knows -- they're a big exporter. china knows that they don't want this to get out of control. that's why their response to the steel and aluminum tariffs was measured. >> shepard: in other words, they didn't go to soy beans. >> right. they went to things that matter and then hit trump where it hurts. >> like iowa. >> the other thing, pork is cheap right now. soy beans are plentiful. china is in a good position to retaliate. but they want to talk. they get this is a bad thing. they get that intellectual problems, they have a problem

with that. >> that's where this doubling down and the the real risk is. how do we solve that dilemma? that's why the entire chip sector sell off. some of them brought half. 50% today. >> shepard: in the absence of jeff bezos ownership of "the washington post," in the absence of that, none of this make sense. but you can't -- there's no absence of that. he does own "the washington post." >> there's been a lot of talk. people are nervous about amazon. there's talk of being too powerful. >> shepard: of course. >> the government should rein them in. >> shepard: of course. but that's not to say they don't pay taxes. >> there's a rile going on right now against at&t and the acquisition of time-warner that president trump has been actively discussing. >> shepard: that's another matter and similar in some ways to this bezos and "washington post" and cnn thing. it's birds of a feather. >> there's reason to be worried about amazon.

>> shepard: and reason to be worried in the history of economies of presidents moving markets over political matters. isn't it the consensus among the analysts on some level that that is what is happening here? >> yeah. makes people nervous. investors like a clear view of things. they like things -- they don't like to be surprised. so the clear view is the economy was good. global economies were good. the fed was going to raise interest rates. things were strong. the past couple months, we've seen the president up end that. the growth may not be strong. >> for a long time, it was easy for people to say, my retire opportunity, my money is growing because last year the markets did so very well. when you see this kind of change, i think people start questioning some of the decisions. >> shepard: makes sense. ken brown, gerri willis, thank you. >> thank you. >> shepard: the russians invaded a country and took part of it before meddling in our election and poisoning a former spry in

great britain. and now president trump could get a visit from vladimir putin. we just learned the president offered the white house as a potential meeting location when he spoke to the russian president last month. the kremlin says no planning has started but the invitation is there. the white house press secretary sarah sanders released a statement that reads as follows. >> shepard: that was march 20. that call raised eyebrows when it happened over president trump did and did not say. we know he congratulated president putin on winning re-election east other the votes said it was neither free nor fair.

and president trump did not bring up the poisoning of a spy in great britain. tension escalating since then. the united states kicked out 60 russian diplomats as russia retaliated by kicking out american diplomats. the u.s. and russia not on good terms at all right now and whether a sit-down with president trump and president putin will happen in washington at the white house, well, who knows really. we'll see as the president might say. rich edson is live at the state department. rich? >> well, shep, the kremlin says the expelling of the diplomats made it difficult for the arranging of a summit. the kremlin has had no talk about a meeting between presidents trump and putin. we asked the white house. they pointed us to a state media article in which a kremlin aide was quoted saying "after the conversation between the two presidents, which was constructive in business-like and touched on many issues,

there was another breakdown in our bilateral relations. in the wake of the recent developments, it would be difficult to discuss the summit." the same aide says they would like to have a meeting between the presidents because it would be important and beneficial for both countries as well as entire globe, shep. >> shepard: the russians are already talking about replacing their diplomats in the united states, right? >> they would. there's something here. the state department confirms that although russia kicked out 60 diplomats, they didn't lower the cap. the u.s. can still send 60 diplomats back to rush and the same for russia to the united states. there's no timeline on that, shep. >> shepard: thanks, rich. in 1959, two global rivals met at camp david. president eisenhower and the soviet leader nikita khrushchev. they made no real problem

towards ending the cold war. 60 years later with tensions rising, we're seeing this new talk of a sit-down or summit. historical context and some perspective coming up from the fox news deck on this monday afternoon. sfx: muffled whistle text alert. i'm your phone, stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself. so get allstate, where agents help keep you protected from mayhem... ...like me. mayhem is everywhere. are you in good hands?

>> well, we -- the president did say after that march 20th call that he did want to meet with putin in the not too distant future. something that got overshadowed by the questions of the president congratulating -- >> shepard: we didn't know about the white house as a potential venue. >> that's right. so the white house says that this is just one option that has been floated. it's important to note that this call took place before the u.s. and their european allies expelled russian diplomats and russia retaliated. they'll also note that no planning has really taken place here. this does open the possibility that the white house may be lending its symbolism to a meeting with vladimir putin which might suggest that the relationship is fine and we're not having this strained situation that we seem to be having right now. >> shepard: what is the reporting on why the president

might offer the white house as a potential venue for such a meet something. >> the president wants to meet with putin. he's made that clear. he's long said that, you know, it's important for the u.s. leader to meet with vladimir putin. this would certainly create a very high profile setting for that type of a meeting. a lot of foreign policy experts and diplomats say what are the deliverables here? is it just about having a meeting or are there going to be certain things that you will have that will push the two sides to come up with agreements before the meeting takes place so that you can have the deliverables at the meeting signing agreements that sort of thing. is it about having a meeting or getting something out of it. perhaps russia moving back out of ukraine or something of that nature. >> shepard: we can start a list. at the time ukraine was talking about nato action.

they were leaning toward nato. push and pull 20 the russians and nato about whether ukraine could come over. that's when the russians invaded ukraine. he wanted a warm water port. around that time, he's accused of shooting a jetliner it out of the sky and kelling 300 people. after that, he meddled in the u.s. elections and then after that he poisoned a great britain spy. now we're going to invite him to the white house for a sit down. isn't that normally reserved for friends? >> that's right. the critics say you're allowing president putin to have the optics of the white house as the background. that he could perhaps be in the east room with president trump for a news conference. or we would have the photos of him seated with president trump in the oval office.

all of that would convey a normalization of a relationship that does not seem to be normal right now. the white house though has said that there are benefits to the two sides talking. we heard a lot about that last year when the president met with president putin in germany. they had a brief aside in vietnam last fall. there's benefits to talking. the question is what are this deliverables? what would you get out of this meeting and would there be a stronger relationship coming out of it. >> shepard: benefits in talking. dangers in normalizing the abnormal. thanks, ken. >> thank you. >> shepard: the environmental protection agency is defending its leader, scoot pruitt, after reports that he got a sweetheart deal on a condo rental. just $50 a night for the room. but the agency ethics chief says that's just fine. coming up from the fox news deck.

>> shepard: an intriguing one out of washington here. epa officials claim the head of that agency, the environmental protection agency, scott pruitt said he didn't break any rules at all when he represented a room in d.c. pruitt's job is to regulate the energy industry. there's multiple reports that he paid about $50 a night to stay in the room at the condo in capitol hill and only paid for the nights he stayed there. an associated press said apartments rent for more than that. chris christie tells abc news that he does not think pruitt

will survive this latest scandal. chris christie blame president trump's transition team. chris christie ran the transition until the president replaced him with vice president mike pence about a month before nominati nominating scott pruitt. >> so pruitt has to go? >> i don't know how you survive this one. if he has to go, it's because he never should have been there in the first place. >> shepard: the former governor of new jersey. pruitt says he did not violate any federal ethics rules. pruitt was facing questions about flying first class on the taxpayer's dime and spending $43,000 to build a secure phone booth at the epa to make confidential calls. trace gallagher with the rest of the story. >> we should note hotels go from anywhere 400 to $500.

and pruitt leased the condo for six months but paid a total of $6,000. which means he was charged for 122 nights. the epa says the deal was fully vetted. and as an epa ethics career stated, the housing arrangements for himself and his house was not a gift and the lease was consistent with federal ethics regulations. many are saying this is not a violation but it doesn't look bad. that's because jay stephenhunt works for a lobbying firm that represents exxon mobil, oklahoma gas and electric and many other oil and gas companies. and they also contributed to pruitt's campaign when he ran for oklahoma attorney general. >> shepard: have we heard anything from the white house on this? >> not a word.

they're referring to it the epa, which depending how you read it could be a big statement in itself. remember, scott pruitt was among four cabinet members called to the white house last month for a little sit-down with chief of staff john kelly. that meeting was reportedly meant to convey that optics do matter. you heard seconds ago what chris christie had to say. here's alabama democratic senator doug jones. watch. >> i think he's in real trouble. i think there's the -- the perception is not good at all. the fact that he's been -- had the controversy with expenses, which is one of the things that people are just frustrated with with cabinet members that want to use tax player dollars to fund their own lifestyle. >> so the sheer volume of negative stories have not helping. while we're talking about the epa, we should note the obama era plan to make new cars twice as fuel efficient by 2025 has

just been rejected by the epa, that's a big win for car companies and oil companies. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher, thank you. president trump says any diagonal on the program that protects the dreamers from deportation is now dead. again, because he killed it the first time. what happened to his talk about passing a bill of love? that's coming up. first, a fox extreme weather alert. got like three inches on the patio at the official measuring station in greenwich village this morning. four nor'easters have slammed the region. let's get over to the extreme weather center and meteorologist kathy ohr from fox 29 in philly. have you had enough? >> way enough. >> way enough. we've had enough, too. new york bearing the brunt of this last fast-moving system. an easter surprise for this

>> shepard: president trump says no deal or the dreamers. that's after saying that he wanted to protect the hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose parents brought them to this country without documents. the president blaming the democrats. even though he is the reason the dreamers need protection in the first place. >> the democrats have really let them down. it's a shame. now people are taking advantage of daca and that's a shame. it should have never happened. >> shepard: of course this did happen after president trump himself ended the daca program. the one that protects dreamers from deportation. the president did not answer when a reporter asked about that part of it's today. back in september, president trump gave congress six months to come up with a new program.

that deadline came and went. about a month ago. federal judges have blocked the president's plan so the dreamers are okay for now. in response to president trump blaming democrats, the california democratic senator dianne feinstein tweeted president trump is absolutely wrong on daca. he unilaterally rescinded daca for no reason and has rejected every single bipartisan proposal that would protect dreamers from deportation. its false to say that democrats walked away from the table. the arizona republican senator jeff flake tweeting, there's plenty of lawmakers on both sides that stand ready to work with the administration on ledge administration to protect daca kids that call america home. let's do it. john roberts is live on the north lawn. hello, john. >> it was a briefing that kirstjen neilsen gave the president about this caravan of

honduran nationals moving through the united states that prompted that flurry of tweets. white house officials saying the president is sending the message to the organization moving them and for nobody else that wants to get to the united states, if they cross the border, there's no daca protections if place to protect them. so they will go into the system for removal. that can obviously lead to some families staying here for a while but the president wants to let them know there's no specific protections for you. the president couldn't resist tweaking the democrats just a little bit in this. tweeting daca is dead because the democrats didn't care or act and now everyone wants to get on the daca bandwagon. no longer works. must build wall and security our borders with proper border legislation. democrats want no borders, hence drugs and crime. democrats were quick to respond saying wasn't he who rescinded

the daca protections in the first place? here's congressman john garramendi of california. >> he promised to determinate daca. he did that. he created this crisis. he created this problem all by himself. it wasn't something that needed to be done. >> the white house maintains that the current daca protections they believe are unconstitutional and it's congress that needs to step in with a fix. sarah huckabee sanders accusing the democrats of turning daca and the dreamers into a political football. listen here. >> the president made multiple offers on daca. he wanted to see something get done. democrats refused to put something on the table or work with the president to get anything done. they wanted the daca recipients as political pawns. what has happened here is sad. >> and the president using this caravan of my grants calling for

better border protections and to lean on mexico to stop the migrants from moving through their country and towards the united states. >> shepard: it was something to see how the president used immigration to get into this trade discussion. >> yeah. warning mexico on nafta. the president is using any lever he can to try to push these nafta negotiations towards a successful close. you'll remember that he gave canada and mexico a temporary exemption for the new tariffs on steel and aluminum. now he's using the immigration problem to lean on mexico's leaders tweeting mexico is making a fortune on nafta. they have very strong borderline laws. ours are pathetic. hopefully they can stop people coming from into their country and ours. yesterday in a tweet, the president threatened to call after the nafta cash cow for mexico unless they do more to

stop these migrants from coming through mexico to the united states. and vincente fox is not a fan of president trump. he says nafta is a trademark for success. isolation makes everybody lose. you should know this. he creates president trump for stealing the united states. he has his opinions. >> shepard: thanks, john. happy monday. caitlin owens for axios. is it confusion? there's confusion where we are with daca. but is it confusion by design? what is the reporting? >> there's a legitimate reason to think this could be messaging

on the part of the president. he's wanted to blame democrats for the lack of a daca deal for no pathway for these people that came here as kids. but you know, the messaging has been mixed. a few weeks ago, we had the president tweeting the democrats didn't want daca. it's their fault. now he's tweeting that there's no deal to be had. so even that is just muddled. >> shepard: didn't chuck schumer offer him $25 billion and he wanted more? >> that's right. we've had a few different phases. at first there was the original immigration debate in the senate. the white house wanted changes to legal immigration as well as the border wall money. democrats said no to that. then we had it come up again. there was the dreamer protections offered in exchange for $25 billion for the wall. there was still no -- they couldn't come to an agreement then either. >> shepard: you wonder. the courts have said you can't kick the daca kids out of here.

now he said the reason these immigrants are trying to come over the border, even though the fact is there's more people leaving for other countries than coming in, that's what our own government statistics show, the reason they're trying to come in is get daca protection but he hasn't gotten daca protection in years, many years. if you come in now as a child without papers, there's no daca protection. they can send you back. he's not aware of that or misrepresenting the facts. >> yeah, there's no way to know. the bottom line is it doesn't matter. there are immigrants crossing the border coming through the united states. there's a reporting on the caravans trying to come through mexico and across the southern border. they wouldn't be eligible anyway. we're talking about people that came here as children, undocumented. you know, through no fault of

their own, now we're trying to figure out how to help them come citizens. >> shepard: it's not the case now period. thanks, katelyn. >> thank you. u.s. and south korea holding major war games on the korean peninsula now. normally these yearly exercises provoke all kinds of threats from the north korean leader. this time crickets. chirping. quietly. tell you why next.

>> shepard: the biggest owner of television stations, local televisions stations in the united states has forced many of their anchors to read from the exact same script with no edits. one that echos president trump's claims of media bias. >> the sharing of biased. >> false news is all too common on social media. >> shepard: extremely dangerous to our democracy. local anchors all over the country reading the same thing. the website dead spin put that together. the company is the sinclair broadcast group. it owns something short of 200

local stations across the country including affiliates of abc, cbs, nbc, fox, all of them. there's reports some journalists are angry about it. seems nobody is going on the record about it. one anchor in seattle did tweeted out a column that was critical of sinclair for this matter. the very vice president for sinclair was meant to show the company's commitment to reporting the facts. president trump tweeted about it. blasting what he called the fake news networks for going after sinclair. mentioning specifically cnn and nbc. the japanese prime minister shinzo abe wants to talk with president trump about north korea. he says he will visit the united states later this month and he hopes to discuss the meeting president trump agreed to have with the north korean dictator

kim jong-un. president trump said he will meet with the dictator by the end of next month. greg palkot tracking this news. greg? >> shep, yeah, there's a lot of diplomacy going on right now about korea. the military drills go on as well. kicking off this past weekend, u.s., south korea joint military exercises. some 11,000 u.s. troops, tens of thousands of south korean troops involved and hardware including f-35 jet fighters. aircraft carriers, bombers are not involved. the two-month long exercise is usually two months. cut to one. the defensive nature stresses media coverage limited. one of my military contacts says we don't want anyone to lose faith in the diplomatic process. kim jong-un said that he understood the exercises had to be conducted.

he and his state media are usually blasting the drills. instead, he was visiting a south korean artist and a k-pop girl band. he reportedly hand picked the band and in his words, he was very moved by the performance. just recapping the diplomacy, april 27 we're looking for a summit of kim jong-un and the south korean president moon and then hopefully in may, the big enchilada, the one with president trump and kim jong-un. we'll see. >> shepard: greg palkot live in london. anybody play a prank on you yesterday? the whole easter an april fools' on the same day was weird. but we'll show you some highlights coming up. in your noise cancelling trheadphones?ry maybe not.
