imposition of tariffs or major tariffs. >> the u.s. will li tariffs on steel andluminum imported from canada and mexico. the agreement could help pave the way for a replacement for the nafta trade agreement between the u.s., canada, and mexico. >> that deal is going to be a fantastic deal for our country. and hopefully congress will ifprove it quickly. >> these tar were harming workers and consumers on both sides of the border. >> in exchange, canada and mexico agreed toalt retaliatory tariffs, some of which hurt u.s. farmers and they s.reed to limit chinese steel entering the u.hrough their borders. lso today the white house said it will delay slapping tariffs on auto imports from japan and europe. meanwhile, sources tell cnbc trade talks between the u.s. and china appear to have stalled. >> we had a deal and they broke it. >> as the impact of cheina trade war hits home, walmart

announced it will raise prices on some products coming from china.t >> they don' agree upon making the u.s. consumers pay the price for the negotiations. to he president is trying get the attention of u.s. farmers urging them to make sacrifices for the trade war in the name of patriotism it. now, congress cld vote on th canada, e deal between the u.s. and mexico sometime ais summer before congress leaves for theust recess. >> all right, susan mcginnis reporting. thank you, susan. still ahead, leveling the playing field. >> the s.a.t. exam announcing a score.ersity >> kids that don't have it like that. h >> we'll look it could impact students in our area. >> history in the house with a newly passed equality act could mean for the lgbt community. and president trump in downplaythe threat of war with iran. nbc news political director

uck todd joins us live with the mixed messa

for a deeper look at this weekend's politics, to put this in perspective, as we started this week, china tariffs topped the news. >> now the trade tensions with bay thveg appear to ha evolved into a trade war. that comes amid new concerns that mixed messages could launch us into an actual but accidental shooting war with iran. >> this as the abortion fight moves front and cent strict new laws aimedt provoking a supreme court showdown. >> with the first democratic debes coming up, it's easier ot to say who's n running.

two more democrats join the 2020 race this week. >> chuck todd is nbc's new political director and also moderator of "meet the press".ar let's st with the efforts to outlaw abortion. the opponents are moving quickly and with little interest in the actual medical facts of pregnancy. could this backfire on republicans? >> it really could. when you loo a at thebortion issue, when do democts get tripped u when it's late te-- it's why you've seen so many get nervous. that is where there is the middle on the abortion issue is rather large and you have some thaterr on the side of less restrictive and some that err on the side of more restrictive. most of she country isrt of within the 20 yard lines.

but the fact is what they' talking about in missouri is that it's very narrow portion that there really is very little political support for outside of those areas. but this has been about a 10-year, this most recent push, because it's not just those two states. there have been a heartbeat bill,ha ones try to create bans as soon as you hear the heartbea i think those will end up in the supthme court. i ink the alabama and missouri ones are too easily knocked out of the system. but all of this puts abortion in the supreme court front andce nter as one of the top three or four issues that gets debated.ef look at the side of the r supreme courtht now in age. a couple people over the age of 80. if trump wins election, i don't think roberts willup set an overturning of roe -4 wade with buif it's six or seven, then i think it's there. it puts it more front and

center. take alabama. alabama, while not a swing i state,t's homea to democratic staer senator who is up for reelection and most people don't thinkhe can win, but if he does, how does he win? the republicans went too far to the right with roy moore. somebody might get a democratic majority in the senate. this is where the alabama decision could cost republicans the senate. >> interesting. let's turn to iran now and the tensions, the risingensions. nd competing interest. how worried or concerned should we be, chuck? >> it looks like there is some dispute over how to interpret the intelligence. there is now some questions, does iran's ramping up, wasat ually in response to what they thought was american escalation? this is the real concern.so an there is some question

now about whether what the intelligence that bolton were acting on and trying to maneuv some military assets. did they jump the gun? did they see what they wanted to ee in thetelligence reports, or did they simply misread it? because now we're getting word that perhaps the iranians were doing a reactive move, not necessarily a proactive move. the bottom line is i think there is a lot of questions on capitol hill about this, but the fact of the matter is the president of the united states haso interest in escalating military conflict in the runup to his reelection. it's just not going to happen. he's pretty consistent on this stuff. i think ltboon may be pushing him too far. >> let's talk about the democrats. we had two more people enter the race. we're up to what? >> 2020. i think instead of the year it's the number of cndidates they're supposed to have. >> over 20 now.

where does this go? how do they even holde dbate with this many snepeople? >> we're going to try. that's why we' having two nights. i think the real question is, do more candidates actually help joe biden? donald trump gave some i thoughi interes political analysis last week when he was looking at the surge of biden and he's going hey, it looks a lot like my race. i had 16 opponents. i got out to an early lead. everybody was chasing me but i s never really l the lead and it was true. we have the peakness tomorrow in our larger metro area hometown. a kentucky derby at 20 horses, it doesn't mter how goodyour horse is. if you end up stuck in the pack and you can't get to the front, preakness will have a nice little easy run. eight or nine horses. when there is six or seven, barack obama, there were only seven candidates and he could find his way to the front. he didn't have to get through 20 other candidates to get to

biden. it's possible this large field makes it so that people -- you ever go on netflix, i want to watch something,'ll watch a rerun. >> there's too much. >> joe biden is i'll just watch reruns. joe biden is the rerun that keps you entertained. i think that's the risk. i think he's ben feting from little bit of choice paralysis. >> a quick reminder, chuck will be bk on send morning with "meet the press". his guest this week, senator and presidential candidate bernieer sand "meet the press" every sunday morning at 10:30. >> he's watched some reruns too. an loudoun cou man learns his punishment for selling secrets to china. coming up on news 4 at 6:00, the new evidence of espionage just revealed. and tracking a chance for
