virginia goes missing on spring break in the dominican republic. >> ainsley: desperate search on underway, local officials fear it might be too late. >> lawrence: nate foy has details. do you know anything new? >> we are piecing this together, you can't imagine. she was last seen at a beach in punta cana. she was on a spring break trip with five friends when she went missing. local authorities are interviewing a young man seen swimming with her before her disappearance. according to a local paper. local authorities believe she may have drown. officials in virginia say there is no evidence to support that. she is a dual u.s. and indian citizen. she's 5-3, last seen wearing a brown bikini with a metal outlet

around her leg. she arrived with five girls on march 3, one week ago today. on thursday, 4:15 a.m., seen on surveillance video going to the beach with seven people. 4:50 a.m., last seen on the beach. 4:00 p.m. later that day, she is reported missing. >> we want to find her safe and sound. there is so much we don't know. principal thing you do, the fbi and civil defense and dominican navy are searching for her and collecting as much information of what and where she is been. >> today several dominican agencies are working together to find konanki. the louden county sheriff's

office is considering an accident to possible foul play. they are reviewing video and phone records and interviewing witnesses. >> lawrence: you talk about the five girls with her. then we hear about this guy, who is he? >> that is what authorities are trying to piece together , according to epiradios, they have interviewed him. there were more in the group, rest of them made their way back and konanki and this young man stayed out the latest. who this guy is will be determined. >> ainsley: five-star resort, punta cana, very nice and safe, i've been there before. police reports she and another person went for a swim and she

was caught up by a big wave. hope they will find her body to give her closure or she'll show up alive. >> brian: thanks, appreciate it. >> ainsley: president trump will meet with tech ceos at the white house today to discuss the tariffs. as canada gets a new leader. >> governor desantis: mark meredith is at the white house. >> trump is facing growing questions about the economy here and abroad. today the president will sit down with multiple tech ceos, among those heads of ibm, qualcomh, ph and intel. latest sign of a trade war growing larger by the day. the president insists his decision to impose tariffs on china, mexico and canada will pay off. >> president trump: i think the tariffs will be the greatest

thing as a country. it will make our country rich again. we have many companies, auto companies opening up plants now, we had four or five announced and many more are coming and we'll take back a lot of the money we've given away over decades. we've lost our jobs and factories. >> mark: canada has a new leader, mark carney is the new prime minister. he's vowed to stand up against tr trump. >> america is not canada. and canada never ever will be part of america in any way, shape or form. >> the americans should make no mistake, in trade, as in hockey, canada will win. >> mark: a lot of attention toure on neighbors in the north, look to see how president trump

may respond. it is a big change for canada, justin justin trudeau served for nine years, big change up north. >> brian: mark, this guy finishes out trudeau's term, then they have an election, right? is that the way parliament system works? >> libbertarian party is feelin embolden. whether or not carney's speech would rally his base or continue this back and forth with potential tariffs and trade that could create more problems for canadians and americans is what we have to watch. >> ainsley: he said canada will never be part of america. we heard president trump say it should be the 51st state. this guy received 86% of votes. >> lawrence: there is a lot of

tough talk going on, when it comes to trading partnership, they cannot survive without the united states. rhetoric is fine, if you want to rally your people. then you have to explain to the people how to overcome when they get hit with this massive tariff. >> brian: tariffs are rocking the market, stock market rallied in 2016. because of the tariffs going back and forth and the lack of predictability it looks like on the negative growth side, since inauguration, market up 1.6%. obama was down 20% after collapse of 2000 -- 2008.

pushing back of the barriers, the market hales it. pick a lane. this approach, americans get blend, how do we bring it back? make it profitable to come back here. build here, zero tariffs. if you bring your company here down to 15% corporate tax, make people want to build here like that tech company, chip company from taiwan. that is the goal. who appreciates it, is donald trump's biggest critic, spoke at dnc, how bad donald trump was. he is pro-tariff and sees objective. listen to what he said on abc's sunday show. >> it is simple for us. we're in a crisis mode in this country. there is no single issue in this country that has affected our economy and working class people and their jobs than nafta,

usmca, and trade laws. we're in crisis mode. we are triaging right now, i hear debate about blanket tariffs. we are in a triage situation. stop the bleeding from hemorrhaging jobs of america. >> lawrence: it is pro-worker policy that the president is doing, i know the market is going crazy because of uncertainty. let it roll with it for a second. i say roll with it because we know what happened in first administration he had. you had when he passed tariffs and came to inflation, it was virtually at zero. i say give the president some l latitude. second thing, they have not passed tax cuts yet. if american people have tax cuts there would be less franticness.

>> ainsley: the president said there will be transition period, he said i like to get things done in the beginning, he knows it will take time to bring business back to america. he wants to see the economy grow again. give me time to bring wealth back to america. they want to apply he's working with elon musk to apply business model management to federal government so companies will be -- government will be subserve iant to companies instead of other way around. there is a method to their madness, he's just saying be patient. >> lawrence: give us room. >> brian: two things, tariffs went on mexico and canada is fentanyl. this is about drugs and saving lives much mexico made huge improvements, 737 seen it. they are playing low in lack of

traffic at the southern border and there are gains with canada, too. and get to the reciprocal tariff, okay, you are 20% and you're 25%, he hopes you go to 15 and you go to 20. i will do whatever you do. this way you are dropping tariffs and we all win. >> lawrence: surprising it wasn't already done, these are supposed to be our partners, they are not doing it. seems like we were just watching the 45th become 47th president. it has only been 50 days and they have accomplished quite a lot. >> president trump: doge, great progress made talking about cutting over a trillion dollars of waste. pli >> president trump: military and national guard to assist in the invasion. >> president trump: we're having

discussions with hamas and helping israel in the discussions. wout us, biden was not able to get anybody out. >> i terminated ridiculous green new scam and -- paris accord costing tril knowios of dollars. >> president trump: tariffs will be the greatest thing we've done as a country. we havish mr.ed more in 43 days than most administrations accomplish in four years or eight years and we're just getting started. >> ainsley: from doge to the border to bringing back israeli hostages to expanding ivf so it is affordable for families so moms and dads have that option. it has been 50 days, we focus on the first 100, we're halfway

through. >> lawrence: the blowback that took place during his address to congress. apparently there is in-figin-fighting. hakeem jeffries has no control of his party. people not happy how they treated that young boy and the young gentleman that got accepted to the military economy. not looking good for democrats. >> brian: the big moment, next 50 days will be huge. they made progress, adam joe borelli boshg hler did. now they cut electricity to gaza. something coming to a head in doha. president of the united states will meet in saudi arabia with ukraine yandellgation after meeting with russians. marco rubio, michael waltz and steve witkoff will be there.

we will see those things going on to bring peace to that area and iran. >> ainsley: president says he thinks the minerals deal will happen when they go to saudi arabia. he said if you are hamas supporter and you are leader of the protests at columbia university, you're out. you be are being deported. >> lawrence: they are not an american citizen, they have a visa, that is a privilege, not a right. >> ainsley: you are out if you support a terrorist organization. >> brian: you can't say he's ducking any issue. >> lawrence: and speaking to us about it. fox news alert. family of slain newark police detective in mourning after he was shot and killed over the weekend. police have charged a 14-year-old with his murder.

>> ainsley: 14 year old. todd piro has details. >> todd: this tragedy leading the family shocked and heartbroken, his father telling new"new york post," it is a pai that is indescribable, i have no words. mo multiple family members was at his bedside when he died. he was shot on friday night while he and his partner were investigating a tip. that partner was also shot and remains in the hospital and expected to survive. a 14-year-old suspect is responsible and was in possession of an automatic weapon at the time of the shooting. the teen is charged with multiple crimes, murder, attempted murder and possession of illegal weapons. the alleged cop killer may avoid

being tried as an adult. the state statute requires somebody to be 15 to treat it as an adult case. if you are 14, you cannot be waved to adult court. others were arrested and questions, unclear if they will face charges. back to you. >> ainsley: could they change that law or judge determine this guy will be tried as an adult, anyone who kills a cop? >> todd: good questions, whether the judge can override this , i all likely head, no. you can change the law go ing able to correct that will be retroactively for this case. there are gaps that create a problem. >> lawrence: how did this kid get an automatic weapon? unbelievable.

and why was he out on the street? where are the parents? time to be sad is before something happens. >> brian: cop didn't even get out of the car. gregg jarrett was asked similar question here. >> if you are acting like an adult, acquiring a gun, using a gun to ambush, to assassinate a law enforcement official, you ought to be treated like an adult, that would be 30 years to life behind bars. as a juvenile he's treated differently. he can get up to 20 years, that is nonsense as practical matter, a whole lot less. i've covered too many cases, juveniles get out after being convicted of murder and go on a murder spree. it is wrong and states need to

adjust laws. >> lawrence: something has to give. my first job was working in juvenile court, some young people can turn their life around, but violent offenders like this. you make adult decisions, there are adult consequences and now this 15 of the slain officer, and his partner is in critical condition, have to put their life together again. unfortunate. >> ainsley: police officer just promoted to detective, young guy. tragic. >> brian: 18 after the hour. carley shimkus has more. >> carley: whistleblowers meta ceo mark zuckerberg considered sharing data with china. reviewed by "washington post" said meta developed a session censorship system to bring

brands marking first sit down with hhs secretary and companies he accused of harming american health. founder of food babe avani harrijoins us now. r.f.k. is meeting with general mills and pepsico. what do you think he's going to say? >> why aren't you using safer products? why are you using safer products overseas? why are artificial dyes in the united states and not other countries. we have children being diagnosed with adhd, he is working to make america healthy again. we have to look at the root cause, our food, which is being poisoned by these companies. they know how to make products

better and reformulated. general mills makes cereal without food dye. this has to stop today. and i hope that the food companies are ready for change. what will happen at that meeting, they are taking consumer brand association with them and they'll recommend a long-term change, four years. we know when european regulations took place many companies changed within less than a year. they will hope that election cycle comes about and changing leadership and they can not make changes. we have hold them accountable and telethem time is now. this is what americans want. >> brian: if you know that, i'm sure the hhs secretary knows that, they will try to wait him out. what will be the hammer to

make them comply? >> the hammer is all of the concerned moms and people aught there fighting for our children and making sure our government stops serving poisonous ingredients. we have state legislation bubbling up, grasroots legislation happening in 30 states. west virginia became first state to ban artificial food dye. house and senate just passed it. this is fundamental, we have other states coming on board that will change this. we are going to have to have something at the federal level that addresses this, we can't have 50 different types of legislation happening across the border. i've never seen momentum like this in my entire life. this is because of president trump and r.f.k. jjr. coming

together. they would have never thought about this issue had it not been for president trump and r.f.k. >> brian: there is awareness now, people want to know before they go to a restaurant, what are oils you use, what should we be looking for? >> we need transparency, several chains don't post ingredient like shake and shack, in and out, we need transparency and that is something r.f.k. is fighting for. >> brian: they are good ones or bad ones? ones you rolled through, aren't or not doing. >> they are not posting ingredients online. if america needs to get healthy, we need to know what we are eating. >> brian: we'd like to know it is not killing us.

i hope you provide the hammer if the government can't force companies like pepsico and general mills, hope you will continue your success stream. thank you so much. >> food babe army will be standing by. >> brian: look forward to good outcomes today. trump administration cracking down on anti-israel protest at columbia, arrest be one leader and getting ice involved. can you imagine? out he re on the farm, we're always looking to make things easier. like using a wood splitter instead of an axe. that worked up an appetite for some old folks sausage. we've made that easier, too. you can take our frozen patties from the freezer to the skillet. let is thaw, as it cooks. as always, the last one is as good as the first one. find purnell■s old folk country sausage in the freezer section.

what they had to say, there is ambiguity, they are saying. there are reports of ice in the streets, columbia has and will continue to follow the law and communicate protocol in place which include phones, numbers to call in case you are approached on or off campus. must have a warrant to enter areas including residential university buildings. they have a strong statement, going after what they say is the warrant process. when jewish students are attacked on campus, they do nothing about it. >> exactly right, lawrence. i have to say, i was once very proud of my alma mater, i am ashamed of columbia that allows jew hate to fester for 17 months. they are not getting the memo. trump administration announced he will resibd $400 million of

grants to columbia university. they stand to lose 5 billion of funds. it is time for administrators to grow a spine, remember their morality and understand this administration, president trump and his dream team will not allow jew hate to fester. we are seeing inter-agency and seeing fbi and dhs, ice, state department in charge of visas and green cards, all of them working together, doj under leo terrell and pam bondi. this pacific task force is bringing power to end jew hate red and fest festering anti-sem, this model i believe government around the world can replicate
