we're seeing economic retal retaliatory. >> todd: this ahead of the president's joint speech to congress. he will highlight his plan. >> carley: big day. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. madeleine rivera joins us with details on the tariffs. maddy. >> madeleine: there are growing fears of a trade war. canada and china are retaliating now that the president's tariffs in effect. imports from canada and mexico are being taxed at 10%. there is tariff on canada energy, chinese goods have gone up 10 to 20% and china slapping 15% on wide range of farm exports from the united states. ca canadian prime minister trudeau imposing tariffs on 150 billion of american products and calling this unjustified and said it has

i implemented a 1 billion plan to address the flow of fentanyl like the president had demanded. president trump appeared unmoved saying no room left for canada and mexico. >> president trump: vast amounts of fentanyl have poured into our country from mexico and as you know, also from china, where it goes to mexico and canada and china had additional 10. so it is 10 plus 10. it comes in from canada and comes in from mexico and that's very important thing to say. >> madeleine: happening overnight, u.s. pausing all military aid to ukraine, senior trump administration official says this is in response to ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy conduct last week culminating in that spat with the president at the oval office on friday. the aid will be held back until the ukrainians demonstrate commitment to good faith peace

negotiations, adding the president is focused on peace. president trump will address congress in first speech since retaking office and the president will highlight action on the economy, need to pass funding for border security and peace around the world. the address will take place at 9 p.m. eastern time. >> carley: madeleine rivera, thank you. we're getting inside perspective. j.d. vance told sean hannity where he believes last week's meeting with zelenskyy went sideways. >> when it went off the rails is when i asked, or polish jou journalist asked a question and the president answered it and i answered it. something about my answer set zelenskyy off. i'm like, we're having this meeting, obviously there are 100 television cameras here. let's have this conversation in private. the president is like, i want to

have this in public for american people to see. we need to bring this to peaceful settlement. the president was trying to do that and will continue to do that. you have to have two to tango and have a negotiating partner. >> carley: proposed mineral deal is still on the table but zelenskyy should be more appreciative and wants an apology from volodymyr zelenskyy, as well. seven freed israeli hostages expected to travel to the white house today to meet with the trump administration. they will be sharing accounts the hamas terror tunnels. some will meet directly with president trump. >> todd: the father of said del cla joins us now. >> i certainly can't dictate to president trump what he might or should say, i think that the

released hostages meeting with him today first and foremost express immense gratitude. my son is home, he's been home for 2-1/2 weeks. all of these recent releases are a product of president trump's clear message to all of the parties, haem hamas, israel, qatar, egypt and the time has come. he has remained consist not, as his team has, strength with forthrightness in the negotiations. as a result, we've gotten through the first stage, 33 releases, my son amongst them and the seven who will be visiting the white house. now it is time to apply same sort of pressure from the white house from the trump team to get to the next stage in whatever

form that takes. the work is not done. the work will be done when all, i believe the number is all 69 hostages are home and that will take some work. i'm sure, i know that the president and his team are committed and i have a feeling that will be expressed tonight, as well. >> carley: one of the men meeting with president trump is -- emaceiated physical state was shocking upon his release. they want to get the remaining hostages home as quickly as possible. eli sat down for an interview with an israeli television channel and had a whole lot to say about his time in captivity. take a listen to this. [speaking ukrainian]

>> carley: remarkable to hear from him and read those words. eli's heart did not end when he was freed, it was then he learned his wife and two teenage daughters were murdered on october 7. these are stories the president will hear today and there is proposal on the table that steve witkoff just proposed and israel agreed that would release half remaining hostages on the first day. hamas has not agreed just yet,

things remain complicated and uncertain. >> yeah, for sure. negotiations with a savage terrorist organization on a good day are very, very difficult. the kwqualitative change since e presidential election is that all parties understands that there's now a commitment from the mightiest country in the world, from the president of that country, this is national priority for the united states and could only benefit all parties here in the middle east. steve witkoff, has been brilliant in getting the parties to yes up to now. there has been a lot of noise around -- sometimes noise from hamas leadership, sometimes from israeli leadership. if we're just looking at results

up to now since the trump team has taken charge, we do see them and so we all dearly hope for the good of hostages, good of israel, for good of u.s. national interest that this second stage, whatever it looks like, get done. remind viewers, there is still five american citizens being held by hamas among the 69. so this isn't a kind of vague, faraway thing. this is also very much still an american issue. >> carley: that's right. quickly, a lot has happened in your life personally. your son was released from hamas captivity and shortly thereafter you mourned the loss of the bibas family, who you knew personally. how are you dealing with the juxtaposition of happy and horrified and how is your son doing? >> start with the happy part.

s sigai is doing okay. he was wounded on october seven and wounds were only partially treated while a hostage in the hamas terror tunnels. his physical ailments include negl neglect and malnurrishment. you name it. everything is fixable. balancing it is brutal. we are from kibbutz niro, ground zero for hamas massacre october 7th. we still have from my small community, 14 hostages are still from our community, people from my extended family. the bibas family i've known since before shiri was born, the

born. it is horrific, mind-boggling how monsters could do what they did to them. yesterday we were at another funeral for one of the victims, murder victim of hamas who was returned this past saturday who is also from our kibbutz. tom tomorrow, it is horrifying to think about, we have another funeral of young father named ohad, who was also murdered by hamas after they were taken captive. so it is inhuman, we're trying to embrace the joy as much as we can and look into the faces of sigi. >> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciate you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: you're welcome. >> todd: president trump announcing 100 billion

what he's going to do about these criminals that are coming in here. >> todd: you heard what i said cartel members are now scared. we can agree, that's a good thing. we don't want cartel members comfortable. are you shocked at how quickly president trump flipped the power dynamic with the cartel from what it was under the biden administration. >> i am not shocked at all. i knew president trump was going to turn this country around and secure our borders to make it safer for everyone living here in the united states. >> todd: to that point, we saw less than 9000 migrant encounters for all of last month, entire month of february. under president biden, there were some days where we saw over 9000 immigrants illegally

crossing per day. that shows it can be done. joe biden chose not to, your thoughts on that. >> i'm really angry at how the biden administration allowed criminals in here without vetting or background checking. they allowed kayla's murderer come in here. they knew he was a gang member, they did arrest him at the border and process him and sent him to maryland to go murder my daughter and they caused all these other murders, i don't upon understand how they were all for the criminals and not our safety. our safety should be put first, not allowing criminals in here. >> todd: makes no sense and i can't imagine going through it as the mother of a child who was killed. as horrible as it is to lose a chiel, i can't comprehend that,

do you view election of trump and what he's done on the border, this vow to eliminate the cartels, as your daughter's legacy so that other parents don't have to suffer the way that you have, tammy? >> yes. i'm happy what is being done and i hope things are continuing to become more safer for us and that this doesn't happen to another child. no parent should go through this nightmare that i'm going through. >> todd: of course. ta tammy nobles, thank you, we appreciate it. >> carley: the white house is pausing all military aid for ukraine days after president trump and zelenskyy's blowup in the oval office. the decision comes after ukrainian leader said a deal to end the war is still "very, very far away," leading to this response from president trump. >> president trump: i want to

see it endi don't want to see t for years and years. now president zelenskyy supposedly made a statement today, he said he thinks the war will go on for a long time and he better not be right about that, all i'm saying. >> carley: fox news cont contri dan hoffman joins me now. this is a pause. will this pause in aid impact ukrainian military? will it bring volodymyr zelenskyy to the negotiating table? >> dan: i think there is risk it will impact ukraine air defenses, they need the patriot missiles we're providing. concern is not about ukraine, ukraine wants to negotiate a peace deal, it is russia reigning down hell on ukrainian civilians in homes, hospital, maternity wards and

neighborhoods for three years now. the question is whether the president's strategy of trying to entice russia to the negotiating table with public statements indicating we wouldn't support nato membership for ukraine. we have given russia path out of diplomatic isolation by engaging in talks and al assad and istanbul, all of those things, as well as pause on military designed to entice russia to come to the table. i don't know if there is evidence that shows zelenskyy is ready for an end to the conflict. putin strategic objective is to topple ukraine and install kremlin puppet regime and i look for president trump tonight to explain his own strategy and to his own republicans and congress about whether this strategy might be emboldening putin to

carry on the fight knowing ukraine will receive less assistance from the united states. >> carley: interesting, you think if things could be repaired between volodymyr zelenskyy and president trump, real issue down the road will be russia. some have suggested if that does happen, it could be real u.s. pressure on russia more so than is in place right now in the form of financial pressures and things of that sort and ramped up support for ukraine. with all that just transpired in the oval office and tension between volodymyr zelenskyy and president trump, do you still think that could be a possibility? >> dan: it is certainly less likely and president zelenskyy mised a golden opportunity and i don't think he understood or took opportunity to see himself through president trump's eyes

or ukraine through president trump's eyes. there is clear difference. president trump wanted to sign that deal before we started talking about a ceasefire and address all issues simultaneously. that is not an option right now. zelenskyy missed an opportunity for the united states to have skin in the game commercially, which would have been best outcome for ukraine. that does not bode well for the future of united states and ukraine. >> carley: white house is saying donald trump wants an aapology from volodymyr zelenskyy. interesting if he has ability to say i'm sorry to president of the united states. do you think the president can be repaired? >> dan: well, i don't know that it can be. i'm not sure what president zelenskyy need to do. there has been talk of a public apology. president trump was not pleased

when he said the war might go on for sometime. the war for ukraine has gone on since 2014, when russia annexed ukraine by force and continued fighting against ukraine until 2022 when they launched their massive invasion and violated a ceasefire. his soldiers have fought bravely and civilians died and he's gravely concerned about post-war reconstruction, which will cost billions of dollars and deterring russia in the future. >> carley: president making that speech before congress tonight and white house officials that donald trump will layout his plan to end the war in ukraine. there is pause in aid, the trump administration is making plans how to proceed. thank you for joining us this morning. a fox news alert. president trump tariffs are in effect in other countries.

policies, trade and environmental policies that have challenged the timber industry and shut us down in many areas, as well as national forest timber supply out west has been stifled considerably. so it has resulted in numerous mill closures across the country over last twour hours. over 1fifl mills have closed in the united states over the last period of time there. >> todd: enough to shut off the lights apparently. for green new dealers who complain that this is going to result in the introduction of forests, what is your message to them, especially when it comes to preventing wildfires? >> i would say, yeah, exactly that. we are practicing forest management, sustainable forest management and we don't destroy the forest, obviously.

their practices and obstruction of forest management resulted in millions of acres of burning forest. which would you prefer? >> todd: we've been talking about the attack on the american logging industry for years, six or seven years, we've been going back and forth on this. who benefited from the overregulated import heavy ways of the past before donald trump signed this deal? >> i would say companies that were importing wood in the united states, home building, they wanted cheapest lumber they could get. it is more of walmart economic mentality, we want the cheapest products out there, whether they are sustainably managed forests and stuff like that. that is where the benefit has gone to, however, with trump's executive order or american logger council and biomass

energy company met with white house officials and presented roadmap to recovery outlining challenges and solutions and last week, two weeks or three weeks after our meeting, president trump issued two executive orders, we welcome those and look forward to rebuilding american timber. >> todd: great stuff for jobs here in the country, it means people i met when i interviewed you in the great state of minnesota will make more money and be able to provide for their families. scott dane, thank you, appreciate it. and senate democrats have blocked a bill to officially ban transgender athletes from participating in women's sports. >> carley: senator ashley moody supported and bill and she joins us next. dinner parents and caretakers,

>> it's shocking. i cannot believe that the democrats will not go along with common sense on this. and the protection of women and girls. i suppose we will have to go process again. the republican party is going to protect girls and women from athletics. >> carley: florida cincinnati ashley moody. needed 60 votes to advance. failed because of lack of democrat support. we have the executive order. it can be overturned in the next administration. so far isn't going to be signed into law. what's your reaction to that and as the speaker indicated, do you think that you will get another bite at the apple here? >> well, look, the bill shouldn't even be necessary. i mean, protecting opportunities for women and fair competition for women? this is something we have fought for and has been commonplace throughout america who would have thought we would be going

backwards where are all the democratic women who stood up so long. i am proud of americans. i was proud to support this bill. we will continue to fight for this and fight for girls and women. look, hey, the republicans are now the party of women. we are the one that want to advance meaningful competition and opportunities for women. the democrats need to get back on board, certainly the american people are and all they keep doing is demonstrating that they will work against the wishes of the american people, who are, in fact, supposed to be running this country and setting the laws. the american people. not the democrats who think they know better. >> todd: to your point, senator, 66% of adults wants athletes that compete on teams that match the sex assigned at birth. it seems like democrat elected officials are the only ones that don't want that to happen and it is mind-boggling. meantime some big news yesterday. linda mcmahon is confirmed as trump's secretary of education last night. you voted to confirm her.

what's the first thing you want to see her accomplish on behalf of our kids? >> i want her to set the agency straight on what its mission is it's not crazy ideological indoctrinating our children. it's educating our children. we have got to get scores up around this nation. it is a disaster that we are so far back in eating and math scores when we spend the most per pupil. that's insane. that goes to show you how much fraud and waste is out there in the education system. it's not going towards advancing the interest of our children. in fact, it's undermining american success. and so, i know -- i met with her personally. i was very proud to support her. she is going to do a great job. and set education in this country back on the right course. proud of president trump for nominating her. >> so, senator, there is also this out of new york city, the city is making it easier for illegal immigrants to get city ids which makes easier to get benefits and housing.

very interesting because of oversight hearing where mayor adams is going to be testifying. this is sure to come up. what's your reaction to that as the federal government and many republican states are trying push back against this very thing? >> absolute insanity. they are expanding the ways illegal immigrants can get ids to get more benefits, housing, healthcare, et cetera. and, look, one of the ways they can do that is shockingly show their paperwork from the federal bureau of prisons. they are rolling out a welcome sign to those who have been convicted felons to come into their city and use that to get identification if you are here illegally. think about that. this, again, is the party that thinks they know better and they set out their policies. they destroy the cities and states that they are in. and meanwhile, they want to enact these policies that are reckless and dangerous and pretty much set their city on fire. and they want their citizens, taxpayers to pay for it.

and when they have run out of their own taxpayer money, they wanwant the rest of the american taxpayers to pay for it. it's incredible they would ever ever keep pus pushing this insa. trump has said we are not funding your mess anyone anymore. we are cleaning up this house. policies undermining the stability and security of your cities. that's over. and it's insane they will keep crashing the car into the house we are trying to rebuild. >> todd: policies like new york's is incentive if they're going to be getting these things. i'm curious to see if federal funding goes away if that stops. senator ashley moody. thank you for your time. enjoy tonight's joint address. >> carley: that's right. we all be will be. >> good morning. >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a great day, everybody. ♪ >> brian: all right. it is 6:00 a.m. on the eas
