4:00 p.m. eastern time. >> more news from washington starting right now. >> take care. president trump: we have a deal with a japan for a long time it involved agricultural, and it involves e-commerce and many other things. it's a very big transaction and we've agreed in principle. it's billions and billions of dollars. >> president trump announcing a new trade deal at the g7 today, saying that deal with japan could be inked within the next couple of weeks and also announced part of it would help american farmers, with that welcome to america's news headquarters from washington sadly not from where the president is looks pretty nice over there. i'm leland vittard.

>> i'm gillian turner so news of the deal comes now as the trump adminitration is sending conflicting signals about the trade spat with china. the president's team insisting his only regret is not imposing even higher tariffs on beijing. chief white house correspondent john roberts is in there where he got to go and he's got the latest. john? reporter: good evening to you actually, that one of a number of headlines of the day let's start first of all with this pending trade deal between the united states and japan this is an agreement in principle. it was negotiated over a number of months president trump had called me back at the end of may we talked about it while we were in japan, and he said he was going to wait until after japanese elections in july to really push for it. looks like the talks were fruitful. there still has to be more work done in the language but the president hopes to be able to sign this trade deal with the united nations general assembly toward the endoscopy of september in new york city. the press also held his first

meeting with boris johnson, since johnson became the new uk prime minister and the president is eager to sign a new trade deal with johnson looking at the possibility of a hard exit from the european union, at the end of october and there was some disagreement though in the president' approach over china, the president likes this idea of leveling new tariffs on a tit-for-tat basis against china, johnson prefers not to use tariffs and some confusion also arose out of that bilateral breakfast this morning when the president was asked if he had second thoughts about this week 's past escalation in the u.s. china trade war and the president answering yeah, sure, might as well, might as well, i have second thoughts about everything. here to talk more about that, and a lot of other things here at the g7 summit in france is steven miller the president's chief domestic policy advisor. >> great to be here with you. >> i know you weren't in the meeting with boris johnson this morning but the president' answer to the question about have you had second thoughts

initially seemed to indicate that he did and we're wondering did he hear the questions which were asked numerous times properly, was he asking luck with the media what was going on there? >> i can tell you john with absolute 100% confidence the only second thoughts the president was having is whether to be even tougher and even more aggressive with the tariff schedule on china, and i've spoken to the president about this this morning, and coming straight from him when i tell you the president was saying maybe we should have gone even tougher on china, but the point is that the obama/biden administration for eight years had one policy on china. total economic surrender. this president is fighting back like no one ever has before. reporter: why wasn't the president that specific about the question when asked about it >> the president is very tactical and specific about his moments in what he chooses to say. he's shown a great wisdom on china no other leader has ever shown. america's middle class was sacrificed to build the china's middle class.

china's factories were built on our own. we're now rebuilding american industry and taking on china. reporter: in a tweet before he left for biarritz the president said he's ordering u.s. companies to look for alternatives to doing business manufacturing sourcing raw materials and whatever from china, yet today, he said he does not plan to invoke any sort of emergency powers, declaration under the 1977 emergency check powers act. so there seems to be a bit of a contradiction. on one hand he's saying don't do business with china but on the other hand saying i'm not going to declare an emergency to force you to not do it so which is it? >> couple things everybody will know the president does have this authority and can choose to execute it at any time he wishes the president's position right now is that businesses operating in china should look for other places to source their supply chains. no american business ought to be holy dependent upon china. it's not a good long term investment. much better to move somewhere else, a country that follows the rule of law on trade and

factories there. reporter: at this point start working elsewhere because i may do this so you or is this just all tactical pressure on china to say we're thinking about it? >> all of the above and one other point, which is just that the best place to build a factory is right in the united states of america. that's the president's core position. reporter: trade experts leave if it comes to a war between the united states and china that the u.s. can ultimately win because china needs us more than we need them but at what cost would such a war of attrition come and how long can you continue to play this tit-for-tat escalation before it really starts to bite deep? >> the question is at what cost can we afford not to act. in other words inaction has enabled china's rise and the deci immigration of american manufacturing. you travel all around the country during this campaign in 2016, you traveled around many other campaigns but visited the towns yourself that have been de industrialized because of the rise of china for years and

years and years whole cities were destroyed in the united states, the media never talked at all about china. now that we're actually pushing back against china, and protecting american jobs there is suddenly discussion of consequences. surrender is the one place we can't bear. reporter: i need to ask you about immigration. these new family detention centers and the role announced by the active secretary homeland security last week how long do you plan to detain these people because there was such a backlog in the operation system in the asylum system that you might have to hold these people for years. is that the intention or is this designed as a deterrent to say you're coming up from the northern triangle countries you're not getting let into the united states you're staying at one of these detention camps. >> the answer is neither. the reality is we have a last in first out system when it comes to asylum so if you get captured by border patrol, sent to a family confinement area or a long term housing area, the reality is your case could be processed in maybe 30-40 days,

60 days it doesn't take that long. the point is you can't get it done in 20 days. and by the way these housing facilities are extremely carefully appointed to make sure that the rights of migrants are protected and everything you've heard in the media about this is totally 100% false. reporter: there was a big issue about holding children long term >> but you're also conflating two different issues talking about the settlement versus the traffic convicted re authorization act. reporter: i'm talking about the psychological -- >> the psychological damage is being trafficked. the psychological -- damage is putting children in the hands of these criminal organizations. all presidents have the courage to stand up to those criminal organizations and the democrats who are aiding and a betting their business models by allowing that smuggling to continue, ending catch and release is the sole humane course of action. reporter: the did president debated this the other day when he was leaving to get on man ear marine one. he said he is looking at birth

right citizenship which is in the 14th amendment. what are the plans for that? >> i notice that you worked that it is in the 14th amendment many constitutional scholars would wholeheartedly disagree with that. most americans think it's crazy that you can come across-the-boarder say perhaps -- reporter: what do you plan to do about it? >> we're looking at all legal option but the key point i want to leave you with today is that many legal scholars believe that the phrase subject to the jurisdiction thereof, doesn't apply to people on a temporary basis or here illegally and to the point would be then what can we as a government do to execute the president's obligation to " take care of the law is basically executed." the constitution being the supreme law of the land, and so watt is the correct interpretation of the 14th amendment? reporter: when do you plan to do that? >> i don't have any news on that today but i want to leave you with this. for years americans had politicians of both parties come and go and surrender their interest to foreign countries and foreign powers.

this president alone has stood up and protected americans interest whether it's on trade, on immigration, or foreign policy, he's ended decades of debacles to put the interest of u.s. citizens first and we should all celebrate that. reporter: steven miller always good to talk to you. >> thank you. reporter: gillian? >> john another great interview. leland? leland: we bring in freshman congressman member of the house foreign affairs committee good to see you, sir. we appreciate it. you just listened to steven miller there with john roberts anything with mr. miller on which you agree? >> that's hard to find. you know, i did agree with president trump that we needed to take on china, but we need to , if we're going to go to war against china we need to go to war with our allies, not by ourselves and you know mr. miller just said we need to celebrate this. i'm not celebrating the fact that the average american has just gotten a $1,000 tax

increase. that's what these tariffs are. i'm not celebrating the fact that -- leland: hold on, so the administration is now finally agreeing that the costs are being born by the american consumer. are you saying that if our allies, japan, and some of the other european spacings were also on board with tariffs against china and trying to hold them to account then that tax would be okay, those tariffs would be okay? >> i think if our allies were on board if we were doing this together i think we would win. the problem is i don't see the chinese backing down. i'm willing to bear some costs if we're going to change unfair chinese trade practices that have been exploiting the american worker. the problem right now is that china does not seem to be backing down because do you know what? the chinese leader doesn't have to face re-election next year. they've increased their trade with europeans. we did not build a coalition. leland: suddenly there's a different set of circumstances and latitudes. you bring up this issue of the

economy in sort of a tax on american consumers. here is steven mnuchin on fox news sunday with the administration's view of the economy. take a listen we'll see if you agree with any of it. >> the single biggest thing that everybody is talking about here in france is the u.s. economy. it's the bright spot of the world. we have growth. people are now talking about doing tax cuts and cutting regulations in europe, so people are looking at the trump economic policies and wanting to replicate them because that's the reason we have all of this growth. leland: anything from steven mnuchin you agree with? >> you know, i hope he's right. i hope he's right, but that's not the view from the u.s. congress. we are looking at all kinds of forecasts that are telling us that we may be facing a recession next year, and you know, the business cycle is hard to control but the trade war is a self-inflicted wound. this is something we've done to ourselves and i've got to tell you, the last few days, there are basically two big groups of

people in the u.s. congress. there are those of us who see that the president is increasingly unhinged and we're willing to say it and there are those who see it but they are afraid to say it, but there is a lot of nervousness whether it's canceling this visit to a close allie denmark because they won't sell us greenland or saying that the chairman of the federal reserve, our own chairman is a bigger enemy than china? leland: you bring up excellent points. >> one thing after another. leland: there's a lot of cross- currents no question but dealing specifically with the u.s. economy we'll talk about new jersey the state you're from and represent. 2017 january of 2017 the president comes into office unemployment is 4.6% today down to 3.3% then you'll start talking to me about wages since we're out of time i'll just help you with the real wage growth 2017 q1s $1,333, and 2019 q1 it has gone up about 5% since 2017.

how do you tell americans specifically new jersey that they aren't better off now than they were when president trump came into office? simply talking at a recession might be coming, not how their pocket books are today. >> well, the economy has been growing for new jersey and the country since about 2011 there's no question about that. if you ask, my constituents in new jersey they felt they took a huge hit from the 2017 tax law, because we lost the state and local tax deduction. if you own a home in my district you took a very big hit, and look, i hope it doesn't happen. i'm not here to say that there's going to be a recession. i'm not cheering for it. i'm trying to make sure we take it. leland: can you understand though when there is big growth going on, is that democrats always are talking about recession recession recession, people could sort of think that democrats are kind of wishing that it was coming? >> we're not wishing that it's coming. i'm just telling you what the economists are telling us is

that the tariffs have cost us .3 % of gdp that's a fact. so i want to avoid that. we can avoid it from coming if we do the right thing. leland: you certainly make some points that there's a big group of economists even the wall street journal editorial page reading those same things. good to see you congressman. apologizes for cutting things short. good to see you. >> let's bring in republican congressman from south carolina ralph norman a member of the house oversight and house budget committees congressman thanks for being with us today so your democratic colleague just said china is playing the long game with president trump. he's got the president's got one year or five years left, and then he's out of office, so china's just going to wait him out on this. >> well that's interesting, gillian that he says that despite what he's saying is the democrats are hoping and are projecting this recession. the economies the greatest its

been. the fact is this president has stood up to china, and i'm from south carolina. 16% of our exports go to china $5.2 billion but most people realize that what he's doing is in the long term best interest of the country. i applaud him for doing it. the democrats the only thing they have is to hope for something that's not here yet and he couldn't dispute the numbers. >> to be fair, he just said he's absolutely not hoping for a recession but pointing out the reality as told to the american people by some of our chief economists. that's different than hoping for a recession. >> but at the same time, i can tell you the number of people who have come out, the economists that will rethink the last two and a half years with the growth we've had the numbers don't lie and that's what democrats cannot dispute, and he says it's not the view of congress. well the country is doing pretty

well right now and the country is benefiting by the tax cuts, by the regulations that had been repealed by this president, and by standing up to china which has not been a friend of the united states. every penny they've given us they've taken a dollar in intellectual property theft and in other ways so i find it his words while he says that, their actions speak differently. >> gillian: the 25-30,000 farms in your state, you have quite a lot of business with china. do you think the president does have the emergency authority to stop private citizens in your state from doing business with china from investing in china? >> well i think he's doing the common sense thing. look what he's doing with japan. that means a lot of corn sales to japan and in that sense we pull out of the tpp. he's now renegotiating deals and what's great about what he's doing gillian is he's making good deals for the united states and the ones that are not good

for the country, he backs away from but revisits, like he's doing with great britain, like with japan and then i think ultimately, china we will be better off by what he's doing but and south carolina relies on it. again, $5.6 billion in trade, seaport is the eighth busiest in the country so we have a lot at stake but i think the idea to build in this country get off dependency of china is a good thing. >> gillian: a lot of folks say the problem in all of this in the trade spat is that so far these tariffs on china have been very carefully designed to prevent the american consumers all across the country from feeling the real hits, right? but the next ground of tariffs on things like electronics, on clothing, shoes coming out of china, people are going into walmart on a daily basis are really going to feel that hit in the price tag. what are you telling folks in your state gearing up for that,

whether it's coming september or december? >> well what the president has been fair on is the exclusions that he's been given. i told my district and the fifth district businesses that if there's a part that they can't get in the united states, if there's some type of if they couldn't get it in other countries other than china, he has been fair with the exclusions. we've been to the itc and testified and the exclusions have been fair, but he's at his ropes end with china. >> gillian: well what if six months from now your constituent s start complaining to you about when they go to the big five , what will you tell them? >> we'll have to deal with it. we'll have to see specifically what we can do, but again, china has not been a friend of the country. politicians for the last particularly from the obama years have surrendered. they retreated. this president is not doing that , and he's making good business deals for our country, and it's going to hurt for a

while. there's no doubt about that, gillian, but it's like taking medicine. it's something we're going to have to deal with but at the end of the day, i think we will benefit from it and in particular south carolina. >> gillian: sounds like you're telling folks they will have some tough times coming up ahead and they have to deal with it. congressman thanks for your time today. leland? >> my pleasure. leland: senator kamala harris one of many out on the campaign trail today now there is a challenger, a new challenger from the right, whose that, next ♪ [sfx: poof] [sfx: squeaking eraser sound effect.] ♪ i am who i wanna be ♪ who i wanna be ♪ who i wanna be. ♪ i'm a strong individual ♪ feeling that power ♪ i'm so original, ♪ ya sing it louder. ♪ i am, oooh oooh oooh oooh ♪ ehhh ehhh ehhh ehhh ♪ i am, oooh oooh oooh oooh

gillian: lots of democratic 2020 hopefuls out on the campaign trail some heading for the heartland after attending the dnc's summer meeting in san francisco this weekend. mark meredith joins us with the latest on that race to the top. mark? reporter: gillian several 2020 democratic presidential hopefuls are spending their weekend hammering president trump on his trade policies with china and the economy overall. here is vermont senator bernie sanders. >> what the president is doing is totally irrational and destabilizing the entire world economy. you do not make trade policy by announcing today that you'll raise tariffs by x percent and next day by y percent and why

attacking the person you appointed as the head of the federal reserve. reporter: and continues to tail joe biden in the polls biden spent saturday campaigning up in new hampshire the first primary state he told an audience he has plenty to say about president trump but not while he is in france for the g7 summit. i never criticized the president 's foreign policy when he is abroad and i mean that sincerely. it's an omission by intention because i don't think it's appropriate for me to be criticizing an american president when they're abroad engaging in foreign policy. [applause] reporter: rules don't apply to one of the republicans throwing his hat into the ring to challenge president trump, radio host joe walsh who suns supported the president announced today he's launching a bid to replace trump as the gop nominee. >> he has no freaking clue what he's doing. he ran, he said he was going to build a wall, george. we haven't built a foot of the wall. he said mexico was going to pay

for it. we haven't. he told us trade wars were easy. tell that to american farmers right now. tell that to american consumers. >> walsh admits it's an up hill challenge and the one term application launched his campaign website and soliciting donations and democrat candidate andrew yang says he's glad to see another challenger come into the race and suggested business man mark cuban should join the race. gillian lot to talk about. >> gillian: looks like things are heating up on the republican side. thanks mark. leland: here to talk about the entertainment, gop dan palmer good to see you. president trump has 90 plus percent approval, i find his only place approval numbers have actually grown since inauguration. do you think he should be worried? >> i don't think so. i think to run for president you've got to have name id, be able to raise money, and you have to have a compelling message. i mean, frankly, joe walsh isn't

even the best known joe walsh. it could be the guitar player for the eagles right? >> point taken this is how mr. walsh is framing his current run. take a listen. >> most of my former colleagues believe. they think trump is going to lose in november and they want him to lose in november, and then they think they're done with him and everything can go back to normal. leland: you made an interesting point here. one also could remember some of yours and my conversation circa 2015 when donald trump got into the race and you're supporting ted cruz and you're saying this is a celebrity, the guy is now running for president not going to happen. is there a risk of dismissing walsh too easily as so many dismissed trump? >> i don't think so. the president when he was a candidate flanked cruz to the right and the dividing line in the republican primary 2016 was the immigration issue, and he owned that issue.

leland: he pushes everybody to the right. >> exactly so in this case there is always a never-trump constituency. it's diminished but it hasn't gone away and i think they're looking for someone to go behind whether it's going up to new hampshire, whether it's joe walsh but the justification for his campaign that he had some positive feedback on the internet, i mean, honestly if i wore a squirrel puppet on my nose, i could get some positive feedback on the internet. leland: this time you're on our show we'd like you to try that and see how much positive feedback there is. i think your wife might have a thing or two to say, but people are talking about whether the media loves the challenge from either side. the last three times an incumbent republican president was challenged by a primary challenger from their own party this is what happened. reagan challenges ford, ford loses. kennedy challenges carter, carter loses, buchanan challenge s h. w. bush and h. w.

bush loses. should republicans worry that walsh are going to be spoilers? >> the common thread in those three losses was a lousy economy and at present we have a pretty robust economy. the left is talking about russia and racism and now recession. they are looking for some kind of a hold to try to attack trump as long as this economy is strong they have a tough time. leland: we had a democratic congressman on earlier who admitted the economy was pretty strong and kept talking about recessions on the horizon. it's coming it's coming. does this put the president in a difficult position to negotiate with china, because if he doesn't get a deal with china there's a good chance we could be in a much worse spot a year from now than we are right now. actually most likely we will be. that gives china the upper hand. they know about the election. president xi doesn't. >> i'm glad you raised this. i think the real issue with china has been framed incorrectly. this is not strictly an economic

issue. this is a national security issue as long as they appropriating intellectual property as long as they are using currency manipulation, a symmetric access to markets. they are putting themselves in a position where they can challenge for world dominance. now the united states is a single preeminent world power. if china's allowed to continue these practices, they could find themselves rivalling the u.s. for dominance. you already see them building islands in the south china sea. leland: and military bases. >> they are a rival and could rise to becoming an enemy and the most important thing with the china trade deal is we have to hob el their progress. leland: steven miller now start ing to move to that point talking about moving away from china's paying for it to the national security issue dan always good to see you next time with the squirrel puppet he will be back. we're not having you. gillian? >> gillian: well a gas explosion this morning has this

maryland shopping center in shambles now, garrett tenney is on the scene with all of the details. garrett? reporter: gillian this explosion was so powerful, some miles away say they thought it was an earthquake. we'll tell you what officials are saying about it and give you a closer look at the damage and what's left behind, coming up. rooh, really?

gillian: underway now officials are investigating a gas explosion at a shopping center in columbia, maryland that happened this morning. totally destroying this building you're seeing there, causing residents to fear it was an earthquake. garrett tenney is on the scene with the latest developments there. tell us what's going on? reporter: well gillian the images of destruction here are just incredible but even more incredible is the fact that at this point it appears nobody was injured in this explosion. just take a look at the destruction that was left behind though earlier this morning.

what happened is that the fire department arrived around 7:30 this morning after getting calls about a large crack in the parking lot with hissing sounds coming out which appears to have been natural gas. they immediately cleared area, and just 30 minutes later, they were trying to figure out what to do next, the building exploded, sending a shock wave at some folks felt miles away. here is how a couple of people who ronald regan just within a few blocks described it. we woke up to it sounded like a sonic boom. you know when a sonic plane goes by? it sounded like it literally at first i thought was that a gun shot? no it was too loud. it shook the whole building and then i thought did i truck hit our window so the first thing i said is what hit our window and my boyfriend went to look out the window. >> all of a sudden there was a big bang, and it was so loud and hard that it shook the house. it shook the house and was so loud that i was sure something

hit the house, or a plane hit the house or something like that reporter: this two story strip mall is home to more than two dozen businesses so the worst of the damage appears to be at a family-owned coffee shop. you can see how the windows and walls were almost completely blown out and the ceiling is now the floor. any other day at 8:00 in the morning, that shop would have been filled with customers, but sundays are the one day a week they're closed. earlier today, the fire chief said that as bad as the damage is, the situation easily could have been a whole lot worse. >> none of the businesses were open. the building was evacuated the area was evacuated before the explosion happened. if it had been a normal workday the evacuation and the clearing of the area would have been a little bit harder and we definitely would have had a different circumstance. reporter: as for the building itself, the fire chief said it is likely a total loss, and that it could collapse at any moment, which is why you can see

investigators are now going through the scene very carefully , as they through to figure out exactly what happened gillian? >> gillian: well if the building collapses please get out of the way. we'll check back with you if that happens, stay safe. it sounds like it's a blessing that happened when it did. though it's terrible and tragic no one was hurt, it happened on a sunday when everything was closed so that's good news. garrett thanks so much. >> yeah. you got it. >> look, what's not to like at vermont in terms of the beauty of it and what a neat town. leland: only problem was that it turns out former vice president joe biden was in new hampshire, while talking about how much he loves vermont. his latest gaffe giving republicans a lot of fodder for why biden just isn't in their words presidential material. with that we bring our panel radio hosts. gentlemen good to see you. both, all right, kissel, we'll start with you on this. >> all right leland: should it

matter or not? >> no it really doesn't matter. it's not like he confused texas for hawaii. they are relatively similar states vermont and new hampshire and both beautiful. when the difference between joe biden and donald trump is when joe biden makes a mistake, when joe biden speaks wrongly, it's a mistake but when donald trump says something wrong, it's on purpose as we saw with this week , regarding the dow dropping 600 points and his apparent glee over it. leland: all right, we'll follow that to jimmy. are republicans right to try to make as ben points out these are relatively minor mix-ups? >> the missteps have been occur ring his entire career though, leland. this has been going on forever. the other day he mistaked what decade the assassinations of 1960 occurred in. this time around he doesn't know what state he's in. i bet if you asked mick jagger

what state he's in he'll be able to tell you what state or city he's in. >> hold on, hold on. it's an important point though. typically when you ask a president after a tragedy where the tragedy occurred, he can tell you take a listen to president trump just earlier this month, talking about the mass shootings. president trump: if we are able to pass great legislation after all of these years, we will ensure that those who were attacked will not have died in vein. may god bless the memory of those who parished in toledo. leland: now jimmy that was in dayton. >> i know. >> all of that including the town was a lie. donald trump hasn't moved the needle whatsoever and we're not here to talk about gun control but he hasn't moved the needle whatsoever. leland: the point i'm hearing from both of you is so long as it's your guy who does it it doesn't matter but if it's the other guy it does.

fair point. >> no! leland: then i want to move on in terms of policy on this where biden is by far and away the leader both nationally and in new hampshire and in iowa, but he's critically lacking in support from millennials. new polling out about democratic primary preferences by age, biden trails warren and sanders with millennials by double-digit s. millennials was a huge part of the obama/biden coalition, then why don't millennials like him? >> well again we're going to have to give this campaign time. warren has a lot of excitement but in a binary choice against donald trump, joe biden will get excitement within the millennial base. also, it's a group over the ages of 50 really support joe biden, that group of people come out to vote roughly 65% come out to vote not the millennials don't matter but only about 33% come out to vote so quite honestly

this is fine news for biden. he's doing well with older voter s and they vote. leland: jimmy? >> i will agree with ben on this stand point. i hope joe biden is the candidate that would be the best news the republican party could have. they could match each other gaffe for gaffe, going to the campaign trail. not even half of those millennials will show up. leland: we're going to unusually leave it at a point where you guys are both in agreement and call it by the summer sunday. good to see you both guys. >> take care. leland: and leaving on a laugh too. gillian? >> gillian: love to see everyone getting along. president trump is in france on the west coast now meeting with other world leaders for the g7 summit. it's going on all weekend long, so far, he's laser focused on the trade spat with china and he's trying to gin up support for his strategy among the other heads of the state. so coming up next we'll consider whether he's succeeding or not.

>> gillian: it is day 2 of the g7 summit in france and during a bilateral meeting with the uk president trump hinted that he may have had second thoughts about escalating the trade war with china, just a short time ago senior white house policy advisor steven miller joined us on this program, offered a clarification. >> the only second thoughts the president was having was whether to be even tougher and more aggressive with the tariff schedule on china, and i've spoken to the president about this this morning, and his comes straight from him when i tell you that the president was saying maybe we should have gone even tougher on china. >> gillian: for for, we turn to the research fellow james roberts. james are you buying what steven miller and others at the white house including larry kudlow this morning, treasury secretary steven mnuchin, are you buying

what they are selling? >> well yeah china is the major factor on the world stage that has upended the global trading system and led to a lot of these problems the g7 leaders are grappling with. they have been engaged in predatory behavior, they've gam ed the system. >> gillian: but what do you think president trump meant when he said yes, i've had second thoughts about a lot of things? >> well he may have been thinking more about getting rid of tariffs within the g7. these are our friends, and clearly, they announced yesterday that the u.s. and japan have agreed to not go forward with tariffs. maybe he was thinking, yes, maybe of the right deal comes along we won't impose more tariffs on the german autos or if we can get the french to rollback this tax on the american silicon valley companies, we could avert putting tariffs on french wine. it's hard to say but there are a lot of things on the table. >> gillian: but so president trump may be the public postur ing is so tough and aggressive when it comes to tariffs.

do you think privately he's thinking a little bit more like a diplomat? >> i think this is the master of the art of the deal and i think he has a strategy in place i don't think he wants to see a tariff war with europe with our friends. he'd clearly already made a deal with the japanned he's going to make a deal i think with boris johnson, once brexit happens, get a u.s. /uk free-trade agreement out of that and i hope he's saying privately to the french and germans and other leaders look, we need to scale back all of this talk and focus on economic freedom and our heritage foundation, and the u.s. , canada and uk, are way ahead of france, germany and italy. >> gillian: but even if the president is striking that tone with france and germany behind closed doors publicly, he's saying german auto tariffs, french wine tariffs, what do you believe? >> i think these are negotiat ing tactics really and there are irritants. >> gillian: but can they trust

what the president is telling them behind closed doors when he's telling the american people publicly is so different is my question. >> well i think all politicians are skilled at talking out of both sides of their mouths and i think -- >> gillian: not all of them. >> maybe not all of them, but at the end of the day the g7 countries have been allied. they were allied against the soviet union in the 70s that's when it started it was an economic policy coordination group now we have the common threat of china that these countries are also seeing. i think privately they are probably glad that the united states under the trump adminitration has taken a forceful lead to pushback against china. >> gillian: but they're maybe not so glad that the united states is now going through a trade war that some economic predictors are saying may lead us into a recession in the next few years. >> i think the recession fears are overblown. i think the united states economy is still very strong really it doesn't depend that much on foreign trade. certainly these tariffs are starting to hit producers but

not really consumers in the pocketbook yet. it would be good if they could come to a deal, but the only way to do that is to i think pursue these tough strategies then. that's what president trump is doing. >> gillian: well james thanks for breaking down your perspective we appreciate it. leland? leland: more news to come out of france for sure a fox news alert as these are live pictures now of arrivals for the official dinner there, on the western coast of france, looks pretty nice during the god en hour as the sun is going down. we'll check in on when president trump will arrive, and if he says anything to the press when we come back. in the human brain, billions of neurons play in harmony.

leland. an extreme weather alert video from brazil as the president is offering almost 5 50,000 military troops to begin to battle those huge fires burning in the amazon rainforest, with that we bring in adam from the fox news extreme weather center and you can see this now on the satellite imaging, ha? >> you are beginning to be able to, to pick this up as these are becoming huge fires the largest fires in the amazon since 2010 most of this happens because of clearing and burning

for agriculture. mostly, there across portions of western brazil but what you end up picking up is smoke detected as all of the smoke eventually kind of spreads out and this is such a large fire and so many fires at this point you're spreading out over huge portions of the entire continent so this is where we're seeing smoke detected at this point from satellites, visible satellite and radar and again all picked up from winds across the continent. you can kind of see some of the circulating winds most of this grabbing it and moving it to the south so portions of the southern areas of south america, seeing a lot of this smoke, not drifting as far off to eastern portions of brazil. they've got a lot to deal with here coming up with this fire. other stories across the area, just north of south america actually, tropical storm dorian formed yesterday continuing to strengthen. we're looking at this could become a hurricane before it's all said and done but it does run into unstable waters so here is our current forecast, by the time you get into tuesday and went a category one hurricane, but there, leland it does fall apart pretty quickly i'm not

expecting mainland united states to be impacted by this one. leland: let's track it nonetheless, adam in the weather center more hurricanes to come before the seasons over adam thank you so much. there's no hurricanes. the weather is pretty good on the west coast of france. boy, there it is, as we await the g7 what they call the family photo which is when all the leaders come together and smile awkwardly and shake hands before the big dinner. >> gillian: that's why we do these whole thing why reporters are there, this is why shows are there we want that family photo. leland: steven mnuchin is there as well the treasury secretary is on with chris wall as in a fox news sunday exclusive on the other side of the break. it's time for the biggest sale of the year on the
