hello and thanks for watching. i'm jessi mitchell in new york, and this is "cbs news roundup." here are the top stories. president trump dismisses concerns over his on-again, off-again trade tariffs and says he won't rule out the possibility of a recession. canada is getting a new prime minister after the ruling liberal party elects former central bank manager mark carney as leader. and soaring egg prices and nationwide shortages are now under federal investigation. president donald trump is defending his aggressive tariff policies, but he's declining to rule out the possibility they could plunge the country into recession. the president is also downplaying the dropping stock market, insisting the economic turbulence caused by his agenda would drive future prosperity. cbs's nikole killion is following all the developments from west palm beach. >> reporter: in a lengthy

interview with fox news's maria bartiromo president trump stopped short of saying whether the u.s. economy could fall into a recession later this year. >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. >> i would never bet on recession. no chance. >> reporter: even as his commerce secretary sought to downplay the risk, the president also didn't rule out the possibility of inflation. >> but you may get it again with these tariffs, right? one said to me my input costs have already started to go up, i'm going to have to raise prices. >> in the meantime guess what? interest rates are down. >> reporter: the president stood firm on his tariff strategy after a week of whiplash on wall street. vowing to move ahead with reciprocal tariffs against mexico and canada on april 2nd. >> the of tariffs could go up as time goes by, and they may go up, and i don't know if it's predictability. i think -- >> so that's not clarity. >> no, i think they say that. you know, it sounds good to say. but for years the globalists,

the big globalists have been ripping off the united states. >> reporter: but patience may be wearing thin. >> most of us aren't against tariffs full stop. right? i think tariffs are an important tool in the toolkit. i think it just -- the way he's handling tariffs is the way he's handling everything else right now. >> reporter: adding to the potential economic uncertainty, whether there could be a government shutdown this week with a friday deadline looming. the president is backing a republican bill to extend funding through the end of the year. a vote is expected tuesday, but it's unclear if there's enough support. nikole killion, cbs news, west palm beach, florida. turning to canada now and a changing of the guard. on sunday night the ruling liberal party elected mark carney as its new leader and the country's prime minister. carney is a political outsider who's never held office. he steps in at a time when relations with the united states are rocky, driven by president

trump's tariff war. cbs's senior white house correspondent ed o'keefe is in ottawa tracking it all. >> reporter: late last week he threatened punishing new tariffs on canadian dairy and lumber. >> canada has been ripping us off for years on tariffs for lumber and for dairy products. >> reporter: but president trump's commerce secretary said those tariffs aren't happening yet. >> you know the president's going to respond to it, but he's agreed not to respond until april 2nd. >> reporter: the back and forth is infuriating canadians. >> uncertainty cannot become the new certainty. >> reporter: francois-philippe champagne is the canadian official negotiating with commerce secretary howard lutnick. >> i think you've seen a side of canadians that americans have never seen. you know, these canadians can bite. and you've seen it and stand up and for good reason because we're standing up for what we believe is right. >> reporter: his comments come as the canadian prime minister justin trudeau steps down, saying good-bye to his party and hitting back hard at trump.

>> we will continue to be in a trade war that was launched by the united states for the foreseeable future. so canadians should continue to buy canadian, continue to stand up for each other. >> reporter: trudeau is being succeeded by mark carney, an economist and former head of canada's central bank who's set to take power in the coming days and inherit a tariff war involving hundreds of billions of dollars in trade. it's angering people up north. canada's ambassador to the u.s. said sunday on "face the nation." >> they're getting a little bit frustrated with that kind of rhetoric. but more importantly, canadians are frustrated with our neighbors. you know, the country that we feel closest to, the country that is partners, allies. >> reporter: for months polls showed the opposition conservative party ruling the leading liberals but now with the president's call to make cannedate 51st state surveys suggest the prime minister might be able to hold on to power. ed o'keefe, cbs news, ottawa.

the price of eggs has skyrocketed to about double the cost from a year ago. that's if you can even get them. and now the justice department is investigating. an ongoing bird flu outbreak is blamed as the main culprit, but two sources familiar with the inquiry tell cbs news the investigation wants to take a closer look at exactly what's driving up prices and limiting supplies. cbs's kati weis visited a farm in alabama, one of the few with plenty of eggs. >> 900 laying hens. that's 700 broiler chickens. >> reporter: this northern alabama farm has been in keith southard's family for five his business is booming because he has eggs, a commodity many farms just can't produce right now. >> never had this many phone calls. >> reporter: last year he had to kill his flock after they got sick with a bacterial infection. >> similar symptoms to the avian flu. there really wasn't any answer but to just cull the flock and

start over. >> reporter: because his birds were not infected with a highly pathogenic disease like the bird flu, he didn't qualify for a u.s. department of agriculture program that reimburses farmers to replace their flocks. >> beared through it and kept going. >> reporter: a cbs news analysis of federal data found since 2020 the usda paid $1.1 billion to hundreds of egg producers forced to kill their flocks to prevent the spread of the bird flu. despite the public investment to help farms get back on track, egg supply issues remain and prices hiked more than 15% in january. >> definitely a question there about when usda should get involved. >> reporter: to try to stop the rise of egg prices the usda plans to spend 1 billion more tax dollars to fight the bird flu including $400 million to farmers to buy new chickens. >> we have to be diligent. >> reporter: frank singleton with wayne sanderson farms is glad the usda is helping. the usda paid them $600,000 over

the last two years after culling three bird flu-exposed flocks. >> do you think that's a fair use of taxpayer money? >> well, it's a partnership with the farmers and the consumer to make sure we can continue to feed america. >> reporter: with bird flu fallout expected at least another year, southard says it's important to protect small farms. >> it takes away the big consolidation that's happened and spreads out the risk. >> reporter: kati weis, cbs news, madison, alabama. when "cbs news roundup" continues, with american military aid on hold u.s. diplomats head to saudi arabia to talk with both ukraine and russia about ending their war. did you know that asian and pacific islander american students often face broad challenges when it comes to accessing higher education? for the last 20 years, apia scholars has awarded over 8,000 scholarships, with 73% of them going to first generation students,

caused hundreds of thousands of casualties and forced millions from their homes. in the last week alone zelenskyy says russia has launched over 1,200 guided munitions, 80 mssiles and close to 900 drones at his country. in the small city of dobropillya on friday night there was the kind of attack we've seen over and over again. ukraine says russian forces launched two ballistic missiles as well as drones, hitting nine residential buildings and killing 11, including a rescue worker. amongst those reported injured were seven children. it's been over a week since president zelenskyy's very public and very contentious meeting with president trump in washington. trump told the wartime leader, "you don't have the cards right now." and since then the u.s. has suspended military aid and intelligence sharing with ukraine. but we still don't know the full impact of that along ukraine's

700-mile-long front line. >> that was holly williams in ukraine. "cbs news roundup" will be right back.

tech-heavy city had the country's highest ratio of remote workers at more than 30%, leaving much of downtown seattle empty. now with those 50,000 amazon workers commuting to the office, local businesses are experiencing a boost. >> thank you so much. >> reporter: a trend seen around the country. the occupancy rate in ten major cities bottomed out at about 15% during the pandemic. that number has since risen to nearly 55%. the new rainier square tower's considered a sign of seattle's revival, now mostly full. >> would that have been unimaginable just a few years ago? >> for a building that was completely vacant five years ago, yes. >> reporter: john miller works for cbre, the world's largest commercial real estate company. last year his team in seattle closed more deals than ever. >> i would say we're on the edge of a revival. we are seeing the light at the end of the tumble. >> reporter: there are just so many reports about like the death of downtown. >> even in real estate it's
