is adding a surcharge to eggs because those prices have gone up. >> george: all across the country. we're going to begin with china retaliating against president trump's tariffs. mary bruce starts us off. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. the trade war that president trump was threatening against mexico and canada has been averted for now, but tariffs against china still went into effect overnight, intended to pressure china to crack down on the flow of fentanyl into the u.s. and this morning, beijing is quickly responding. overnight china firing back after president trump's 10% tariff went into effect at midnight. beijing swiftly retaliating with tariffs on american goods including coal, liquid natural gas, agriculture machinery and pickup trucks. china also restricting the export of critical minerals used to produce high tech products. it comes as the hefty 25% tariffs president trump threatened against mexico and canada are on hold for 30 days. the looming trade war postponed

after day of frenzied negotiations. the president is accusing both countries of allowing migrants and drugs to flow into the u.s. claims both countries deny. >> canada is very tough. they're very, very tough to do business with. >> reporter: after two phone calls with prime minister justin trudeau, canada agreeing in addition to its existing is.3 billion border plan to appoint a fentanyl czar, list cartels as terrorists and launch a u.s./canada strike force to combat international crime and fentanyl and money laundering. u.s. officials say 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border last year, a small fraction compared to 21,000 seized at the southern border. mexico's president now agreeing to send more soldiers to the boarder to patrol for drugs and migrants. >> she did agree to 10,000 soldiers on the border. i would say that's a lot. >> reporter: shanebalm said reducing traffic of fentanyl is a shared interest, one she told trump she already has a campaign

to combat. the tariffs now delayed for a month to negotiate. but there is still significant uncertainty. trump hasn't detailed what kind of progress he's looking for in order to reach a final deal and avert potentially devastating economic consequences. >> we haven't agreed on tariffs yet. maybe we will, maybe we won't. but we have a very good relationship. >> reporter: now, as for china, the white house says president trump and president xi plan to speak in the coming days. those retaliatory tariffs are expected to take effect on the 10th. it is likely that we will continue to see trump using tariffs as leverage. he has signaled that the european union could be his next target. >> robin: signaled that. mary, thanks to you. rebecca, this is your wheel house. the president's tariff plan could raise prices for items we buy online. so why is that? what products are gonna be impacted? >> rebecca: especially if you shop on websites like temu,

shein where they ship directly from china to your home. those can especially be impacted quickly because of the new tariffs getting rid of this loophole. it's called the diminimous exemption. it's where a chinese retailer used to be able to ship $800 in goods to a customer's home duty free. the u.s. processed 1.3 billion of these packages last year. the trump administration is saying they don't want that any more, in part because some of these packages might be coming in with fentanyl. this means more oversight. the other issue is that it under cuts u.s. businesses, like amazon, wal-mart, target, who don't necessarily have the ability to take advantage of that. so consumers could see that. >> george: does that mean if someone brought something $400 on temu today, they'd pay $40 extra? >> rebecca: it could mean that once implemented. we still don't know because we haven't seen it in motion yet. but, yes, that would likely be the case. >> george: okay. thank you very much.

serve more than 50 million students at about 130,000 public and private schools, providing billions to aid students with disabilities and also to schools in low income communities. president trump has put billionaire elon musk in charge of shrinking the federal government, and the education department is a top target. sources tell abc news a handful of representatives from musk's department of government efficiency were spotted inside the education department on monday. musk is already serving as a special government employee. his team already has access to the vast federal payment system. now has also seized control of usaid, the agency that provides u.s. humanitarian assistance around the world. locking out employees, essentially shutting it down. members of musk's team showed up at those offices, demanding access. >> those who were in the building, we took down our pride flags. we took down -- i took down any books i thought might be incriminating. >> reporter: workers once again warned to say home. usaid has a $43 billion budget.

about 1% of what the federal government spends. president trump said musk won't do anything without approval from the white house. >> elon can't and won't do anything without our approval. and we'll give him the approval where appropriate. >> reporter: democrats warn -- >> elon musk did not create usaid. he doesn't have the power to destroy it. who's gonna stop him? we are! >> reporter: republicans responding with this message. >> to my friends who are upset, i would say with respect, call somebody who cares? they better get used to this. it's usaid today. it's gonna be department of education tomorrow. >> reporter: so what is left usaid is being folded under the state department under secretary marco rubio. but democrats making the point there that it is congress that has provided funding for the agency and it would be up to congress to dismantle it. >> george: in congress today, there are two key votes for

president trump's nominees. >> reporter: yes, george. these are two key test votes. one for tulsi gabbard for director of national intelligence. she picked up some support from key republican moderate senator susan collins. there is another test vote and a committee for robert f. kennedy jr., president trump's pick for health secretary. all eyes will be on senator bill cassidy. he said he was really struggling with kennedy's nomination after he spread misinformation about vaccines. we know they did speak over the weekend but it is unclear if he got the assurances he needed. >> george: rachel scott. thanks. robin? >> robin: we will see what happens. right now we got a new winter storm on the move taking aim at the midwest and the northeast. ginger, you know she's tracking it all. good morning. >> ginger: got a lot to track this morning. let's start with the part that has created up to 9 inches of snow along the canadian border in washington state. this is that county here, showing off the snow blower which some people are gonna need as it moves east. or a piece of the energy moves east. meets the record warmth and then the coal. that's gonna create ice from kansas city and st. louis to

fuselage, the passenger cabin was just in shreds. they also pulled the bodies of 55 of the 67 people killed have been recovered. ntsb also releasing video of investigators analyzing the flight data recorder. it requires very special treatment because it was under water. all of the black boxes as you just mentioned, george, have been recovered from the plane and helicopter. they are hopeful that data and voice recordings from the cockpit can lead to answers. now, i gotta show you this. u.s. figure skating sharing a moving video paying tribute to the 28 athletes, coaches and family members who died in the crash. just a heart breaking black and white video, full of so much talent. so many young, smiling faces. all of those who loved them. still, the investigation here rolls on, but it could be weeks before we get some real answers, rebecca. >> rebecca: those precious souls. a painful wait for their families.

12 grams of fiber per cup. protects our gut microbiome. supports our immunity. budget friendly. little trick of the trade i have when people trying to include them. sometimes comes with side effects. so try sprouted varieties. these are sprouted lentils. the sprouting actually enhances the absorption of the nutrients. so that's good. you'll get more of your food. five minutes to cook. fast food at its best. it's great. much easier to digest. just amazing still. budget friendly. i highly recommend it. >> robin: that's a good pro tip. hydrate. we know that's very important. but it's also how we hydrate. >> hydration with intention. that's what i teach my master class participants. hydrate with intention. what we drink, beverages, make a difference. think how much we drink in a day. an opportunity to up your cancer fighting properties. what i have here is green tea,

matcha. i know you're a big fan. matcha's not a trend. it's here to stay. it's rich in egcg, a very powerful antioxidant. then black tea also. we underestimate that one. very protective. you can have a ginger tumeric tea. reducing inflammation. there's so many power tonics and opportunities. little pro tip, if you add citrus to matcha or green tea, that enhances the absorption of the egcg. it's a win-win. >> robin: it's a win-win. you are always pushing the matcha on me. what is the bottom line that you tell folks? >> is to get -- to simplify nutrition. scientific nutrition, cancer fighting nutrition made simple and easy because we want to sustain this on the long run. it's not what we do for a short period of time. it's what we do for the long run. you want to find something that you can stick to. that's what i try to encourage

my master class participants. i take them for that ride. we have it in a way that's so simple and empowering. >> robin: yeah. just appreciate you so much, rachel. i've known you for a long time. >> long time. >> robin: you've helped many of us here at abc and gma. thank you for that. let's now go to ginger. >> ginger: that ginger tumeric, that's my jam. i love that stuff. it really is. adds a nice sweetness to it. let's talk about super bowl lix. five days away in new orleans, a region that experiences some of the fastest rates of land lost on the planet all due to rising sea levels, the sinking land, and extreme weather. nfl green the new orleans super bowl host committee, joined with special forces veterans from sports blue. other volunteers as well. they all created a living shore line in the southern louisiana town of leeville. they moved 50,000 tons of oyster shells to provide habitat for oysters and wild life. helps slow the rate of land lost.

let's get a check closer to home. >> george: time now for our february gma book club pick. deborah roberts has that, along with her conversation with the author. i know you loved this book. >> every now and again a book surprises you. and this onedy. readers will be enthralled with the young enslaved woman at the center of this powerful book from page one. junie tells the unforgettable story of a strong little girl who refuses to accept a world which denies her hope and her freedom. 16-year-old junie has grown up enslaved on a plantation, tending to the master's daughter, who's taught her to read novels and poetry, and to dream of a different

world. >> it's a story of a girl who was coming of age and trying to figure her world out and figure out what she needs to live the best life possible. i think everyone can relate to that. >> reporter: junie, erin crosby eckstine begins with a girl grieving the loss of her sister, whose ghost soon appears, re revealing dark secrets which up end junie's life. you balance the heart break of a shameful period of american history, slavery, with the beauty of a young, oppressed woman who is enslaved. how difficult was it to strike that balance? >> i wanted to ensure that the characters themselves really came through with the full complexity of humanity. slavery went on for 250 plus years in the united states. people lived their entire lives under this system. meaning that they experienced the entire breadth of life, from birth to death. so everything that you and i experience, love, grief, sorrow,

joy, all of those experience were happening under this system. >> reporter: so she wrote a story inspired by her own ancestors. what led you to explore this period in our history? >> my grandmother's grandmother's grandmother jane cotton. she was enslaved in alabama. she actually escaped just before the civil war. my grandmother used to tell me the story all the time. >> reporter: what do you want readers to walk away from this feeling? >> our world is incredibly complicated. that under periods of incredible pain, trauma, difficulty, that there are still these glimmers of beauty that are worth holding onto. that's what makes junie such an inspiring character. under the surface stress she is under, she is really holding out for these moments of beauty, of joy, of connection. and i really want readers to hold on to that.

>> and they will hold on. crosby eckstine's grandmother passed away before she released the book, but she said she can feel the spirit on this literary journey, and she think, george, she would have loved it. she may have had a few notes because she was outspoken. this story is filled with unforgettable characters you'll long remember past page 354 when you finish. >> george: you were enthusiastic about this one. thank you, debora

a health alert about a new study looking at microplastics. they are found in everything from plastic containers to water bottles. new research finds they may be impacting our brain tissue. chief medical correspondent dr. tara narula, please help break this down and help us understand this study. >> microplastics are found all over the planet. as you said they come from things like plastic bags, tires, cosmetics. we know they're very small, tiny, less than 5mm, the size of a pencil head. we get exposed to them by the food we eat, what we're drinking, even air. we've seen microplastics in tissue samples in the human body before but this looked at autopsies about 50 individuals their brain, liver and kidney tissue. they found a new things in common. first of all, they found the levels of microplastics went up from 2016 to 2024.

they also saw the brain had on average about 7 to 30 times more evidence of microplastics than liver and kidney. they looked at individuals with dementia. they had higher levels of microplastics in the brain. when they looked at the average brain, the amount of microplastics was equivalent to the weight of a plastic spoon, about 7 grams. >> robin: so how much do we know about the danger here? >> not enough at all. as we've seen the rise in plastics over the last 30 years we have not understood the effects of these microplastics or the chemicals inside them, which is another topic, inside the human body. we don't know if they cause disease. we don't know how they're getting in the brain. we need a lot more research on this. >> robin: we do need more research on this. this is concerning. as always, folks are listening to you and leaning in because you resonate so well with folks. they want to know, what do you recommend if they're feeling maybe they are ingesting too much of this? >> right. so there's no way to really know how much you have. we don't have the ability to measure that.

but there are things that you and i can do. we were just talking about swapping out some plastic containers for glass. not using those plastic water bottles. trying not to microwave plastic. the heat will release those particles. think about using wooden cutting boards. using recycled bags instead of plastic ones. you want to vacuum, avoid ultraprocessed foods. use clothing that has natural fibers as opposed to synthetic fiber. lots of ways to try to eliminate that exposure. >> robin: i was telling you someone was telling me that i didn't even really pay attention to, having a water bottle in the car. when it heats up, that is something to be concerned with. >> metal. even what you're cooking in, stainless steel as opposed to nonstick surfaces cookware. that can release it. lots of little changes you can make. >> robin: yeah, but we can make these changes. all right, doctor, thank you very much. now ginger. >> ginger: i'm right here. you know i'm all about that. thank you. microplastics. our obsession with plastic is

certainly huge. let's talk about heat. that i can tell you all time winter heat in lubbock texas. went to 91. that's also the earliest 90 plus day they've seen. oklahoma city, grand junction colorado had the warmest winner temperature. the numbers you see there are the records possible today. they stretch to raleigh, along the gulf coast. it's also very foggy from christi. that's usually tampa but it's

[ laughter ] >> sam: all right. it may be cold but ladies and gentlemen, let's sing together and warm up with thoughts of spring at the annual met gala. this morning -- i don't know. perhaps that it's just spring. learning new information about the annual fund-raiser. back in october, "vogue" and the metropolitan museum of art announced the theme of this 2025 event was super fine, tailoring black style. big names. louis hamilton, pharrell williams. asap rocky. we can announce right here on gma the specific dress code for the evening. it's called tailored for you. it's a nod to the exhibition's focus on suiting and men's ware.
