>> war and peace, the abridged edition. good evening. i'm john dickerson. >> i'm maurice dubois. a trade war broke out today between the united states and its neighbors after president trump threatened canada and mexico with new tariffs and they retaliated. >> but hours later, it was over before a single tariff was fired across any border. financial markets got rattled though, more about that in a moment. >> trump's new tariffs on imports from china are still set to begin tomorrow. jason allen in laredo, texas,% reports american businesses are getting ready to pass along their higher costs to consumers. jason. >> reporter: behind me is one of the bridges that carries as many as 20,000 trucks a day between the u.s. and mexico. it's quieter tonight because it's a holiday over in mexico but border protection and importers told me traffic has been heavier recently as retailers try to get ahead of higher prices. at the alltune and lube in laredo, texas. >> we will get back to you with

pricing. >> reporter: manager luis guzman has been stocking as many oil filters, brake pads, and engine parts as he can, trying to bea the price increases 25% tariffs could bring. how many of the parts you get are probably coming from manufacturers in mexico? >> honestly, a rough estimate, maybe a good 50%, 60% parts come from there. >> reporter: across town, rick laurel's warehouse has been filling up for weeks with products such as makeup, cardboard tubing, cement mixers, all from mexico. >> now it's going to get even more full, because now we have a 30 day window that both presidents just taught. >> reporter: you don't expect it to go back to normal, you think they will try to keep moving goods as fast as they can? >> well, with an extension of just 30 days, that doesn't push anything -- the only thing it does is pushes the line -- >> reporter: it doesn't erase the uncertainty. >> it doesn't erase the uncertainty. >> reporter: laredo mayor victor trevino says that uncertainty is something new for this city. >> that's what makes it

different, and that's what makes it a little bit worrisome. this is like playing chicken, who's going to move first, who is going to give way first. we are the largest port in the united states. about 40% of all the merchandise that goes into the u.s. passes through here. so that's significant. >> reporter: even a small impact to a trade corrider with $300 billion in goods move through every year. something guzman and his customers can't afford. >> i'm going to be competitive with my prices and actually be good to create a budget, but with these tariffs, i don't know, because we don't know how raising up on my prices.e- >> reporter: leading up to this, local officials told me they were preparing for this really like an emergency. they were talking to their counterparts in mexico, knowing there isn't a whole lot they could do about it, but really just wanting to be prepared for what was ahead. >> jason, what was luis guzman going to do if this tariff did

happen with prices as he passed them on to customers? >> reporter: you know what, i heard from businesses today they weren't really going to be able to absorb much of this increased cost. for instance, at his shop, if he was able to offer car part at the same price, he was going to find somehwere else to make it up he would look at increasing his hourly labor costs to market up. >> when you say a ripple effect, what would that actually look like for americans living there along the border? >> reporter: so let's take laredo as an example. if goods come through here and they are higher prices, maybe people start buying less. that means there's less demand, there's less shipping that happens. that leads to impacts to jobs. state revenues as well. you can see the ripple effect. remember back to the pandemic, this is a very complex system, maurice. it is not something that is unraveled easily. >> briefly, jason, is anybody breathing a sigh of relief now that the trade war has been paused? >> reporter: maybe for a day, john, but this really showed them they don't know what to

expect. so, at the auto shop they've got empty shelves, they are going to try to fill them, because they don't know what happens in 30 days. >> jason allen in laredo. thank you, jason. >> now let's bring in cbs news money watch correspondent kelly o'grady. so, kelly, let's take a stroll here through the economic case that donald trump is making for slapping tariffs. >> okay, so a big driver is getting better trade relationships. so let's look at some numbers. it's 2023, the u.s. sells $354 billion in goods to canada, $323 billion to mexico. that same year, though, they bought $419 billion from canada and $475 billion from mexico, so that means there's a trade deficit of $64 billion with canada and $153 billion with mexico. >> you definitely don't want to be on the short end of a trade deficit. >> no, economically, you want them to rely on you versus you relying on them. >> okay, in practical terms, what does it look like when we slap a tariff on an actual item? an everyday item? >> let's look at a car battery. manufactured in canada, then a car company buys it, brings it

into the u.s., they sell it to a repair shop and then ultimately a customer. but if there is a tariff that same u.s. car company pays an import tax to bring that car battery into the u.s. then they have to decide how much are they going to pass onto that repair shop and then ultimately the consumer says the car battery costs more, am i going to buy it, maybe yes, maybe no. >> this is where potential inflation could happen. >> right, it could mean higher prices. it also could mean that car company says maybe i should manufacture that battery in the u.s. and then our trade partners say well, maybe rather than paying import taxes, i should just do a better trade deal with the u.s. >> potential outcomes. kelly o'grady, thanks so much. >> the prospect of a trade war had investors dumping stocks in the early going today. the dow plunged nearly 350 points in the first half-hour in trading, but by the end of the day, it recovered a lot of its losses, closing down 122 points. >> weijia jiang at the white house now, a lot of ups and downs there today as well with the tariffs on and off.

now that they are off, weijia, what did the president get after all that? >> reporter: well, maurice, president trump has called tariffs the most beautiful word in the dictionary because he thinks they have such a potent power in negotiating. and tonight, the white house is touting concessions from both mexico and canada. so the mexicans have agreed to send 10,000 soldiers to the border to stop fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigrants, but we should note that in our reporting it actually shows the vast majority of fentanyl seized at the u.s. southern border is smuggled in by american citizens and other legal travelers on vehicles. canada is also sending what they call 10,000 frontline personnel to the border and shelling out about a billion dollars for choppers and new technology to reinforce it. >> weijia, okay, these tariffs aren't happening. so what happens to all of that income that the president said the tariffs were going to be used for to pay all these wonderful things he said they were going to be used to pay for? >> reporter: and john, that is a very long list, but the white

house says that these mexico/canada tariffs had one specific goal and that was to convince our neighbors to do more to seal the border from illegal immigrants and drugs. they say that is separate from the so-called "universal tariffs" that would put a 2.5% global rate on certain fields, such as semiconductors and possibly even cars. tonight, sources close to trump say he is still very much considering those. >> weijia jiang at the white house for us. thank you, weijia. >> now some of the top stories from around the world in tonight's evening news round up, starting with the aftermath of the air ambulance crash friday in philadelphia. four people are still in the hospital, two in critical condition. no word yet on what caused the crash. one person on the ground and all six on the plane were killed, including a girl from mexico who had been treated at shriner's children's hospital. >> doors were locked at the washington headquarters of usaid today at the mutual

agreement of president trump and billionaire elon musk, whom he's empowered to remake the federal government. the usaid, established by president kennedy and congress, fights starvation and disease in more than 100 countries, including sudan, scene of the worst humanitarian crisis on earth. debora patta will take us there later this week. >> and today was the deadline for thousands of fbi agents to fill out a trump administration questionnaire asking them what role they played in investigating the january 6th capitol riot, the largest criminal investigation in u.s. history. cbs's scott macfarlane joins us now. scott, the impact of all of this is being felt across the country tonight. >> reporter: an unprecedented day of turmoil inside the fbi. these agents were asked what role they played in the january 6th investigations, if they searched or interviewed or arrested anybody, raising fears of a purge of agents nationwide. take a look at this. our cbs news review found some of these lead january 6th fbi

agents are part of joint terrorism task forces in cities nationwide, including new orleans, the most recently struck city with a terror attack, and others from california to colorado to connecticut. there's also this concern that this purge would impact human trafficking task forces, gun groups, and, john and maurice, send a chilling message to fbi agents: be careful what you investigate next and make sure it does not displease president trump. >> so that's filling out the questionnaire. what's the long-term impact here, scott, for the fbi? >> reporter: immediately there's a 12:00 p.m. deadline eastern time tomorrow for the fbi to turn over these names to the u.s. department of justice with the possibility that there are going to be cuts. also possible, lawsuits challenging these firings if they happen by attorneys representing fbi agents. but also, just a make or break day tomorrow. will the fbi do it? we know this statement from assistant director for the new york field office shows that they are trying to rally the troops. he says, "we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our

own as good people are being walked out of the fbi and others are being targeted because they did their jobs." a demoralizing moment, if nothing else, inside the bureau. >> scott macfarlane for us in washington, thank you. >> still ahead on the "cbs evening news," lonnie quinn with the weather. >> and we will have these other stories as well. >> i'm mark strassmann in los angeles. these migrant day laborers are critical to rebuilding the city, but worry they could be deported. >> and i'm kris van cleave at washington's reagan national airport. the latest on the investigation into that deadly mid air collision. next on the "cbs evening news." ." even a little blurry vision can distort things. and something serious may be behind those itchy eyes. up to 50% of people with graves' could develop a different condition called thyroid eye disease,

a flock of birds is in front of you, or you may deviate if you see something that's an obstacle or other threat to your flight. >> reporter: the black box data also indicates the plane pitched up immediately before impact, perhaps a last-second attempt by the pilots to climb. airline captain laura einsetler. what's going on in the cockpit 325 feet up with the runway in sight? >> the pilots of the regional jet are going to be fully focused on landing the jet. they are manually flying at that point, focused on the runway, focused on their altitude, their airspeed, their spatial orientation, their descent rate. >> reporter: the second plane crash friday in philadelphia capped the deadliest week for american aviation in more than two decades and has rattled the flying public. what are you telling passengers right now? >> we put our lives on the line every day to keep everyone absolutely as safe as we possibly can. so we always want to reassure

the passengers and the traveling public that our safety is our absolute number one priority. >> and kris van cleave joins us now. so, kris, what are pilots telling you about that these two planes -- aircraft, rather, were so close in the first place and everybody is wondering how safe are the skies? >> reporter: yeah, so fundamentally, even if that helicopter had been at 200 feet, they were too close together. you want at least a thousand feet of separation there. so what led up to the circumstances, what is the chain of events that put those two aircraft so close together? it won't just be that the helicopter was flying at 325 feet. there will be other factors that led us down the road to disaster here. how safe is the aviation system? it's as safe as it was before this crash. there are layers of safety built in that are still in effect today, the same way they were two weeks ago. >> kris van cleave in washington. thank you, kris. >> looking at the calendar, we

are halfway now through winter. >> looking at the dictionary, winter comes from the old germanic word meaning "time of water." so, lonnie quinn, are we in a time of water? >> you know, john, with the atmospheric river setting up, it may very well live up to its name. the atmospheric river is a channel of very moist air that results in a lot of moisture. you can pick it out on this map, it's that dark arch that you see right there. that's your atmospheric river. again, a lot of rain within it. san francisco has been dealing with it for a couple of days. the next bout comes in tonight and this time it puts out about 2 inches of rain for san francisco, but it does want to migrate to the south. so a place like los angeles can tap into some of that moisture, maybe up to an inch of rain by the time we get a little later into the week. but california needs snow. the snow dictates the health of the reservoirs, and look at this. this is 6,000 feet in california. no snow out there. sure, the mountain picks up some snow, but who gets the snow, who gets rain? it's all dictated by the jet stream. north of that jet stream, it's cold. south of it, it's warm.

in fact, record warmth out there. look at this. houston, texas, just two weeks ago had 4 inches of snow. houston, texas, tomorrow sets a record at 81 degrees and every number that you see here, it's an early taste of spring for these folks. gentlemen. >> thank you, lonnie. >> one of president trump's signature policies could make it harder for southern california home owners to rebuild after the fires. >> we'll have that story in "eye on america" next. in "eye on america" next. to an antidepressant ylar is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. vraylar is not approved for elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis due to increased risk of death or stroke. report changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts to your doctor. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles or confusion which may be life-threatening or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain and high cholesterol may occur.

>> it's going to be very difficult. we already have big shortage of home in los angeles. i mean, with this on top of it, i mean, good luck. >> reporter: gatsby estimates rebuilding los angeles could take 20 years and maybe twice as long withou the help of immigrant construction labor. >> we are essential workers, essential people for the community. >> reporter: just like rescuing l.a. from the flames, rebuilding it will take every available hand. for "eye on america," mark strassmann in los angeles. >> it's not just california. the construction industry says it needs to hire 439,000 new workers nationwide this year. according to the latest figures, construction employs a larger share of undocumented workers at 13% than any other industry. in tomorrow's "eye on america," from newland, north carolina. as the president talks about scrapping fema, victims of hurricane helene are still waiting for help.
