first, as president trump closes in on the 100-day mark, w gnthis morning that he's willing to put off funding his border wall to avoid a government shutdown. that would be big for the president. our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl starts us off. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. the president isn't giving up on his border wall but it looks like he's willing to put off the fight over paying for it to another day. forget the 100-day milestone, the biggest challenge facing the president this week may be avoiding a government shutdown. the main sticking point, funding for his border wall. the white house calls it a top priority. democrats say it's a nonstarter. can you, from that podium, guarantee that there will not be a government shutdown? >> i can't guarantee -- >> how close can you get to guaranteeing? >> i think that the work that director mulvaney and others have made in these negotiations have been very positive.

they feel confident that that won't happen. >> so he won't insist his priorities get funded on the border, the wall, increased security? >> that's not what i said. >> reporter: now, signs that the president is willing to give in to avoid a shutdown. according to multiple sources, president trump told a group of conservative journalists that a private white house reception that he is willing to put off funding for the wall until later this fall. democratic reaction to the president's reported comments was swift. senator chuck schumer saying in a statement overnight that president trump was taking the wall off the table in a move he called good for the country. >> very, very important and powerful group of people. >> reporter: on his 95th day in office, president trump hosted the u.n. security council in the state dining room. >> you're going to be very busy people i suspect over the coming months and years. >> reporter: a rare white house meeting with the top members of the u.n., which trump once called a waste of time and money. now he's urging the group to

take on the threat from north korea. >> north korea is a big world problem. it's a problem we have to finally solve. >> reporter: with pressing national security issues and a packed schedule this week, the last thing the white house wants is a government shutdown. if talks deadlock this week, i am told they will seek a temporary extension to keep the government from shutting down precisely on the president's 100th day in office. >> he doesn't want to be the first president to have that one. one of the activities he's trying this week, releasing some details of his new tax plan. reports the president wants a corporate tax cut deeper than house republicans have called for. that's going to complicate things. you get something that deep, you need democrats. they don't seem willing to go along. >> reporter: that is for sure, george. i'm told this tax plan will reduce the rate from 35% all the way down to 15%. that is a far steeper cut than

republicans have been talking about on capitol hill and no way democrats would go along with and the interesting thing is what would the impact be on the deficit? the president has promised to reduce the deficit. hard to do that while cutting taxes that much. >> hard to see how you could do it. >> thank you, jon. republicans are trying to make another push on health care, promising to repeal and replace the affordable care act. as we mentioned, our new abc news/"washington post" poll says most americans support keeping it. our congressional correspondent, mary bruce, has details for us, joins us from capitol hill. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. republicans this morning are scrambling to bring their health reform bill back to life. they're working on a compromise that may allow states to opt out of some of the most popular obamacare provisions. they're hoping that they can finally fulfill that signature pledge to scrap obamacare. our latest abc news/"washington post" poll shows that may not be what the majority of americans want. just 37% say obamacare should be

repealed and replaced. instead, 61% say keep it and fix it. and in the meantime, president trump has suggested that if republicans can't reach a deal, they should allow obamacare to fail. but the majority of americans, 79%, say instead the president should try to make the current law work as much as possible. >> mary, what do our polls say about what specifically should and should not change? >> reporter: americans are sending a clear message about the most popular provisions. they say 70% of americans even a majority of republicans say coverage for pre-existing conditions should be mandatory nationwide, not left up to the states. robin? >> all right, mary, thank you. negotiations continue. we move on to the rising tensions in north korea. live-fire drills in the country this morning as the country marked the 85th anniversary of its military. and president trump is preparing to brief congress on his plans to confront the nuclear threat.

chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz here with all that. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. 300 to 400 artillery pieces in this live-fire demonstration. really one of the biggest they have ever had in north korea. clearly trying to send a strong message. some of the artillery pieces could reach seoul. that's the real threat right now. >> what they didn't do today is have another nuclear test. >> reporter: they didn't but a nuclear test is still a very strong possibility. the u.s. has been keeping an eye on this for a very long time. so that really still could, and i know we have said this several times, that still could happen any time. what they would like to do is marry up a long-range missile, an icbm with one of those nuclear bombs. that's the threat. >> the u.s. continuing the military position in the region. >> reporter: yes. there is a u.s. submarine, a guided missile submarine parked in south korea right now. that sends a strong message. all you have to do is look at those pictures. it's kind of a make good because

we were sending the "carl vinson." we're still sending the "carl vinson" battle group. it's not there yet. just look at those pictures of that submarine, pretty unusual sight. >> the entire senate called to the white house tomorrow to bring them up to speed tomorrow on all this. usually, those meetings happen on capitol hill. >> reporter: they do. it's not unusual for a president to brief. it's usually on capitol hill. i do think this is unusual. it's all about the optics. you have the senators coming to the white house. another strong message. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. this morning, all eyes are also on the first daughter. ivanka trump, as she makes her first big trip overseas since the inauguration. attending a summit on equality and the empowerment of women with the german chancellor. abc's linzie janis is in berlin. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is ivanka trump's first official foreign trip as first daughter and as assistant to the president. the german leader inviting her

to participate in the w-20. a summit aimed at promoting the role of women in the global economy. ivanka talked about her father. she said she was proud of his advocacy for women. she was referring specifically to a campaign proposal for paid family leave. at that point the crowd tiffed at her. she was aware of the media criticism but said from her personal experience and from the experience of those who have worked for her father, he does believe in gender quality. she was very happy to be here and bringing back the knowledge and information that she learned here to her father. >> the president seems conflicted about how important the 100 days is. on the one hand he's calling it ridiculous but on the other hand you see this flurry of activities. >> capping your 100 days with a

shutdown when republicans have control of government. when we had shutdowns in the past. republican congress. to have this happen with republicans owning washington would be unprecedented in every way. that said, last night he seemed to back off one of the sticking points. insisting adding money for the border wall in this resolution. that could stop this self appointed disaster from occur. >> the president seem conflicted about how much this 100 days matters. he's calling it ridiculous and you see this flurry of activity all week long. >> he's trying to lower expectations. he can't get out of two precedents. first of all, history. this is the standard we have used for every president since fdr. second, he, himself, played up the 100 days on the campaign. he said it was a big marker. he's down playing expectations because he doesn't have a significant record. he wants to get as many wins on the board as he can. >> he put out the contract. ten pieces of legislation. he's only introduced one, health care. and it went down. we talked to martha about the big meeting with the senators tomorrow on north korea. showmanship? >> a lot of showmanship.

this is partly how they're trying to deal with foreign policy. particularly with north korea. there's a lot of strong action being taken to send clear messages and i think you got to give trump and his leadership team credit on this one. they have not taken a hands-off approach to north korea. they believe a more proactive approach could actually stop the proliferation which occurred. the nightmare scenario, as martha said, is icbms with nukes that could reach the united states. taking a proactive approach. a lot of starm arm gestures, they believe might be able to contain north korea and engage china. >> he was warned by president obama this was the number one threat that trump would face. we saw president obama back on the stage yesterday for the first time since he left the white house. one word that did not cross his lips, trump. >> very deliberate. you're walking a fine line. a 55-year-old, very popular ex-president getting back in the public eye. wanting to focus on civic messages and stay out of the gutter of politics. it's a no-win for the ex-president to get into an fight with the current occupant of the office.

>> he thinks that will help trump. >> that's right. because it rallies trump's base and reignites that fight trump wants to prosecute. president obama wants to send a more civic message of engagement and unity. >> thanks very much. a change that could be coming to flights headed here from europe. a blockbuster new report says the u.s. may expand the electronics ban to other countries. restricting smartphones in the cabins of planes. abc's pierre thomas has the new details for us. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning. homeland security officials are considering whether those travel restrictions on electronic devices bigger than cell phones should be expanded to some airports in europe, including london. this would increase the number of airports beyond the ten located in middle eastern countries. no final decision has been made. sources tell us that this threat to commercial airplanes is real and ongoing. we first reported this ban is the result of isis developing creative bombs that can fit

inside laptops, ipads, or other electronics. homeland security secretary john kelly in a recent hearing called those concerns, quote, a real threat, robin. >> if the threats originate in the middle east, why may this ban be expanded to europe? >> reporter: the threat is isis-based. based on what we know, isis has sympathizers throughout the world. there's real concern that these bombmaking designs are being spread across the globe. >> must keep that in mind. pierre, thank you. michael? >> thank you, robin. now the new details about how the former tennessee teacher charged with kidnapping a 15-year-old student managed to escape authorities for a month. he appeared in court on monday. abc's eva pilgrim has more from nashville, tennessee. good morning, eva. >> reporter: michael, tad cummins is facing some serious charges. this morning, authorities allege he admitted that he took off because he knew he was under investigation for having an inappropriate relationship with his former student. this morning, new details on how

that tennessee teacher allegedly hid from the law after taking his 15-year-old former student on a cross-country journey. >> he will face a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and quite possibly longer. >> reporter: prosecutors telling a judge he planned and executed an audacious scheme, taking elizabeth thomas through nine states before being captured last week in california. to hide from authorities during the 39 days on the run, prosecutors claim cummins swapped license plates, disabled his car's gps, used back roads, changed his appearance of his suv. made only cash purchases. court documents state the original plan was to take the victim south of the border to mexico and beyond. he got a small watercraft to cross into mexico across the water from san diego. instead, the pair ended up here in this remote cabin in california. >> food, i gave them. >> reporter: inside, leftover

food sitting on bare floors, along with camping gear, toilet paper, and very little else. elizabeth's dad anthony speaking to abc news. >> he had not been feeding her. she said they were eating flowers and things. >> reporter: elizabeth now spending time with a trauma team. her family says she has a long road ahead. >> sometimes, she'll be happy and laughing and back to the same old girl. and then, she'll be sometimes just in a fetal position crying. it's a roller coaster for her. >> reporter: cummins has not entered a plea. he's still behind bars this morning, denied bond. prosecutors saying he's a flight risk. authorities are planning to bring him back to tennessee. michael? >> all right, thank you, eva. amy, you have the morning's other top stories, starting with another incident on united airlines. that's right. a frightening moment. the plane had to make an emergency landing back in costa rica because an engine

reportedly overheated. a reporter on board says the plane tilted and nearly hit the runway, causing passengers to fear for their lives. the pilot pulled up in time. the airline calls it a maintenance issue and says the passengers will be compensated for the inconvenience. arkansas has carried out the nation's first double execution in 17 years. after last minute legal maneuvering, convicted murderers jack jones and marcel williams were put to death within three hours of each other. the state is trying to fast track a series of executions before one of its lethal injection drugs expires on sunday. ann coulter's problem with the university of california is now the subject of a lawsuit. student groups sponsoring her visit claimed the university violated their right to free speech when it cancelled colter's speech over security concerns. the school proposed a new date when students are no longer in class. coulter is vowing to speak this thursday anyway as originally planned.

dr. dao runs back on to the jet he's clinging to the part of the galley. later, we see the officer with bruises and blood stains. and the airline crew the doctor was told the give up his seat for. his attorney said a lawsuit remains very possible. >> it escalated in his case to physical harm. unnecessarily. when he was lawfully where he was entitled to be. >> reporter: now, the attorney also told us those claims by the officers that his client, the passenger, dr. dao was acting belligerently, the attorney called it nonsense. he said consider the source. this story is far from over. >> thank you, david. seems to be. >> for sure. coming up, we check down to president trump's 100-day milestone. is he delivering on his promise to create more jobs? milestone. is he delivering on his promise to create more jobs?

trump promised rebecca jarvis is here with a progress report. good morning. >> good morning. as a candidate, president trump campaigned on a message of putting america first. among the key promises, 25 million new jobs, tearing up what he deemed as anti-competitive trade policies. and taking on companies sending jobs overseas. >> i will be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. i tell you that. >> reporter: from the very beginning, he cast himself as the businessman in chief. >> my plan for the economy can be summed up in three very beautiful words. jobs, jobs, jobs. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: on the campaign trail, promising to create those 25 million new jobs over the next decade, which would be the most created under any u.s. president ever. and rip up trade deals. he said were putting americans

out of work. >> nafta, signed by her husband, is perhaps the greatest disaster trade deal in the history of the world. >> reporter: even before being sworn in, trump zeroing in on this carrier plant in indianapolis, claiming credit for saving 1100 jobs from going to mexico. >> he's not in office yet. he's cutting deals and saving jobs. that's huge. >> reporter: that victory not without controversy. the company later conceding only 800 jobs were ever at risk of heading south. in his first week in office, the president making good on that promise to pull out of a major trade deal. the transpacific partnership. >> great thing for the american worker, what we just did. >> reporter: the markets also initially climbing with investors cheering on the prospect of lower taxes and fewer regulations. the dow rising above 21,000 for the first time ever in march. the so-called "trump bump."

but stocks now back below that benchmark. >> hype is morphing into gripe. investors are saying, gee, maybe the president won't be able to get a lot of things done. >> reporter: still, the average 401(k) has gained over $5,000 since inauguration day. the economy adding 317,000 new jobs since february. but last month, hiring slowing dramatically. just 98,000 jobs added in march. only half of what was expected. if president trump is going to deliver on his promise to create 25 million jobs, our economy has to add an average of 208,000 jobs every month for the next ten years. as for the other trade deals, overnight, the trump administration announcing plans to impose a 20% tariff on canadian softwood lumber. now, he's instead amending it. and -- >> a tough sign with canada.

stand by. we're going to talk to bill cunningham of wlw radio in cincinnati. it broadcasts in the heart of trump country. across ohio, kentucky and indiana. one of the things we saw in our poll, overall, americans like the president using the bully pulpit to get the businesses to keep jobs here in the united states. i would imagine in indiana, which you broadcast to, those jobs that weren't saved, people don't blame him? >> of course not, george. look at it this way. for the first time, perhaps, in american history -- think about an american president who says hire american, buy american. americans deal for the pipelines. the midwest, ohio, indiana, kentucky, which, as you know, is the heart that beats the american economy is beginning to stretch, we're beginning to yawn. ready to get to work. there's an animal sense that america is awakening. we can get 3% to 4% gdp. if we do that, all things are possible. >> that is a high, high bar. >> it would have to be double what we're doing essentially

right now as far as our growth is concerned. it is also in a lot of perspectives, if you talk to corporate america, really contingent on an overhaul of the tax code and a regulatory overhaul. that's why the market has been rising ove what we have seen with the market, investors cheering on those policies. now, a number of them saying, okay, let's get them done. is that a possibility? >> what more do trump supporters want to see on the economy from president trump right now? >> well, you know, the democrats are the obstructionists. the democrats want nothing done because their base wants nothing done. he's fighting more now with the republicans than democrats. it's like a redo of the election when you couldn't get wisconsin republicans or ohio republicans to support trump. trump's having more difficulty not with the american worker, who wants to get to work. he's having more difficulty with paul ryan and the republicans. george, i bet you a good order of baklava, by the end of the year, we're going to have a tax

bill. we'll have immigration reform. george, it is morning in america. and we're ready to take off. let the republicans get the heck out of our way! trump is marching, man, trump is marching! >> i'm not sure i'm going to take that bet. i might. let me push you on that a little bit. the president can't get the republican party behind him, will your listeners blame him, the republicans, or both? >> let me ask you this. if you were an obama supporter for the past eight years during this economic disaster of 50 million people on food stamps. 9 million americans not in the workforce. tuition skyrocketing. illegals getting in-state tuition. if you were an obama supporter, did you blame obama or the republicans? at this point, i think trump is in the position to middle. the republicans and the democrats. we know at the end of the day, primaries will come against republicans next year if they don't toe the trump line. i say god bless america and god bless donald trump. >> view from trump country.

they're able to piece together, using evidence from the alarm system, from when she posted things on facebook. from text messages. and from the fitbit, to try to prove that his timeline is not true and she was moving around after 10:00 a.m. and so, that would disprove his claim that he came home at a particular time and that's critical in the context of the case. >> the accuracy of the fitness trackers has been challenged in the past. it will be tough to admit it into evidence. >> they've been admitted in the past. in this case i think they have got a stronger argument because it fits so well with the timing of the alarm. they believe they can tell you exactly what time she drove to the gym. what time she comes back into her house. it fits with the timing of the alarm system. when she's sitting in the car and therefore, not moving. and therefore, the fitbit evidence becomes that much more reliable.
