and the trans-pacific partnership is a pretty good template for them to maybe make some changes aroundt and say mission accomplished. but while the canadians are good partners, they're also fierce competitors. and i can assure you, they are quietly saying to a lot of u.s. compani companies, look, if you're going to lose all of the advantages of what we negotiated in the trans-pacific partnership -- intellectual property protections and these tariff reductions -- not that big a deal for you to at least move those goods across the border to canada and then ship them to these other markets. so, i think they will be very shrewd in positioning canada as sort of a safe alternative for those u.s. companies that are going to come out on the wrong end of this deal. but we'll know more as the weeks and months ahead come, but my biggest concern is just that i know it's very difficult to stand still in a global competitive market. and while the united states is in this period of flux, no matter how much these other countries say they love our partnerships, they're going to be acting in their own e

remember, one of mr trump's first actions as president was to withdraw from the i2—nation tra ns—pacific partnershipl, signed by obama and strongly supported by the japanese. mr trump called it a terrible dealfor the us. he wants a fairer trading relationship with japan — let's show you why. last yearjapan sold almost $69 billion of more stuff to the us than it bought from the us. that trade surplus, as it's called, is one of the biggest any nation has with america. to give you an idea of why, look at this. in 2015, the latest figures we have, the us exported a little over 16,000 cars to japan. here's how many japanese cars were sold that year in the us. 17.5 million! that's an all—time record. here's a vital point, though. most of those cars are actually made in the us. mr abe is expected to stress that 1.5 million americanjobs rely, either directly or indirectly, on japanese carmakers. on top of this you have the so—called currency wars. mr trump has claimed the japanese yen is kept artificially low against the dollar to help japanese exporters. the japanese deny that they do this. and there's ano

it looks like you should have taken him literally. >> in everything from killing the trans-pacific partnershipt he's doing with mexico and the wall, from what he's doing and saying he's going to do with refugees. plus we have new things, the picking the fight with china, first over taiwan, now over the south china sea. that's something that actually didn't get a lot of talk during the campaign but we're seeing that. >> rose: steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world. that is probably the best-known piece of advice in george washington's farewell address to the nation. but that's not all of it. john avalon is the editor in chief for the "daily beast." his new book, "washington's farewell," offers an explanation of this historic address and considers its relevance today. >> it is the most strikingly relevant artifact from the founding era. it's a memo from the first founding father to future generations. and it has direct applicability to what we're dealing with today. >> rose: who wrote it? >> well, washington was the author in terms of the ideas. in many ways it'

talk about this dialogue but we know that with trump it was pretty much the end of the trans—pacific partnershipa is how they can move ahead with this dialogue. some talk about bilateral trade relationships, but how difficult is that politically to achieve when you take into account that japan logged the second—largest trade surplus with the us last year? that is really the tricky point here. it's not just that is really the tricky point here. it's notjust trade, it's also the currency. japan is a fast ageing economy with a slow economy at home, it needs exports. it also need a currency that makes it possible for governments to invest. the main point injapan is actually there is so point injapan is actually there is so much capital injapan, there's easy monetary policy so it also needs to invest. that's where the two countries can meet and this is where the focus has been, investment from the japanese side in the us will help a lot. the us and japan on the other hand need to remain calm in terms of developing the trade talks. unfortunately tpp isn't around so there needs to be a new framework. m

he said this about tpp, the trans-pacific partnership is an attack on american business. it does not stop japan's currency manipulation. this is a bad deal. that is obviously relevant, it gives you a look into the mindset the president has about what he believes is an uneven relationship between these two economic juggernaut spirit keep in mind japan has a trade surplus with the u.s., $59 billion last year second only to china. contribute into that u.s. trade deficit, so you can expect trade to take center stage in a conversation but also security. u.s. and japan have had a long and complicated relationship and the president, it should come to no surprise, has set the japanese should do more to protect and defend themselves. meanwhile as we continue what has been a very busy day for the president and his staff, the vice president busy this morning, swearing in the president hhs secretary, georgia congressman dr. tom price. >> president trump has made it top priority of this new congress to repeal and replace the affordable care act with healthcare reform that will lower t

we've withdrawn from the job-killing disaster known as trans-pacific partnership. we've directed the elimination of regulations that undermine manufacturing and called for expedited approval of the permits needed for america and american infrastructure. >> welcome back to "hardball." that was president trump last week in his press conference, boasting about action he's taken, actions he's taken to improve the economy and create jobs. over eight years ago, president obama was handed an economy that was truly in crisis. last month, he turned over a stable economy to his successor, don't you know? everybody knows this. in his first full week in office, president trump held meetings in the white house with corporate executives, manufacturing ceos and labor union. executive orders cutting regulations, withdrew from the trans-pacific partnership as you heard him say, moved ahead with the keystone pipeline and promised millions of new investment in infrastructure spending. since his inaugution, the markets have reached record highs. now it's time to deliver an economic gr

remember, one of mr trump's first actions as president was to withdraw from the 12—nation trans pacific partnership deal — signed by obama — and strongly supported by the japanese. mr trump called it a ‘terrible‘ dealfor the us. he wants a fairer trading relationship with japan — let's show you why. last yearjapan sold almost $69 billion of more stuff to the us than it bought from the us. that ‘trade surplus‘ as it's called is one of the biggest any nation has with america. to give you an idea of why — look at this. in 2015 — the latest figures we have — the us exported a little over 16,000 cars to japan. here's how many japanese cars were sold that year in the us — 17.5 million — that's an all—time record. here's a vital point though — most of those cars are actually made in the us. mr abe is expected to stress that 1.5 million americanjobs rely — either directly or indirectly — on japanese carmakers. on top of this — you have the so called ‘currency wars‘. mrtrump has claimed the japanese yen is kept artificially low against the dollar to help japanese exporters. a weaker yen makes japanese goods

america of course under president trump, withdrew from the trans—pacific partnership so that calls intoatter at economic ties. they have to be sorted out. there is of course also the relationship with china andjapan of course also the relationship with china and japan and china are in dispute over islands in the east china sea. america are crucial to japan's security there. plenty of things to discuss. donald trump also talked about a number of new announcements in the offing, including crucially, the travel ban. he said there will be more to come. he said there will be more to come. he has continued to stress the security of people united states is his number one priority, his obligation, as he puts it. last night we heard the appeals court in san francisco had continued this day on the executive order, the travel ban, so it is now a question for the usjustice department of ban, so it is now a question for the us justice department of what they do next. they have said they are reviewing all options as they put it, but most likely, getting this case back to the district court, because t

>> and the whole point of tpp, trans-pacific partnership was to create a set of rules to discipline china. i think abeson will use this dialogue to work back step by step toward something to replace tpp in the pacific. big win for him. not a loss for the president. it will be clearly understood by beijing as a commitment to defend japan if they try to use force to take these island as way from japan. two big wins for abe but still a good dynamic with the president. >> your assessment of what the president of the united states said about his phone call with xi jinping? >> that will be incredibly reassuring for china but also the rest of asia, which is wary of china but not looking for a fight. by far it's the most presidential and strategic comments we've heard from president trump since he was elected. beyond china and asia, nato allies, canada, mexico, will look at this and be quite encouraged what they heard, particularly given the tough -- >> on that point, ron, i would think participants would be very comforted also that this relationship between china and japan isn't as bad as it app

has pulled out of the trans-pacific partnership trade deal?ox business's blake burman was the journalist who asked that pointed question. i jumped up, wow, that was tough question to ask. i'm sure there was tension in the room when you did it. the other countries in the tpp were not thrilled when the u.s. backed out. reporter: u.s. was i guess you could say the major player. dozen or so countries, talking about the united states, mexico, canada, japan, australia, just to name a handful. president trump immediately within the first few days of office, being in office signaled that with an executive order that he intends to withdraw from the trade deal the previous administration worked so hard to get together. japan being one of those nations. prime minister shinzo abe here at the white house to begin discussions potentially involving trade. we are led to believe that is one of the topics. when we got a question it seemed to reason i would ask him point-blank, which is what we did, do you think it's a mistake that the incoming administration ha

shepard: he got some interesting questions from the fox business network and abandoning the trans pacific partnership. i guess that will be touchy. >> yes, he avoided a direct answer on that question. he did indicate to my colleague that bailing out of t.p.p. wasn't necessarily a bad idea in the way that he indicated that. he said that having strong bilateral trade agreements that he hopes that japan has with the united states are a good way to go. when you look at the asian -- the pacific arc on the asian side, they like the multilateral trade deals. they like the idea that was gan china. so i think what he said publicly may not be the pry it is sentiments that he has. when you're standing there with the president of the united states unless you're hugh grant and bobby bob thornton, you don't want to tick the president off. >> shepard: john, i hope you get a weekend out of this deal. >> yeah, i'd rather be going to mar-a-largo with my wife and family and hanging out down there. that would be fun. >> shepard: let him know. he will be watching when he gets on the plane. mention it in the next live sho

singapore's prime minister has told the bbc he wouldn't rule out signing a version of the trans pacific partnershipates. one of president trump's first acts in office was to pull america out of the agreement. but now, some of the signatories have indicated they might press ahead, even without the us. speaking on the bbc‘s hardtalk programme, singapore's prime minister lee hsien loong gave the suggestion his conditional backing. if there work on the senses and 11 countries say go ahead and sign the thing, just minus the us, singapore would sign. weather that happens, i am not sure because the japanese in particular made very painful concessions in exchange for an american concessions. so, i would not rule it out. but i think it is not rule it out. but i think it is not so easy. meanwhile, the trade deal which britain has to negotiate during brexit could become the biggest single act of protectionism in uk history according to the former chancellor george osborne. mr osborne, who supported the remain campaign, and was sacked after the referendum, has warned that future trade deals will not adequately

you take a look particularly at his executive orders for example, getting out of the trans-pacific partnershiping regulations, these things are fulfilling campaign promises. so from a domestic agenda, from an economics agenda i think that he is certainly doing what he said he was going to do. it has been a little bit more of a rocky road on on the foreign policy side. a bumpy launch of the initial travel ban, executive order. i know that that is going to be a reset coming up. he certainly is off to a strong start. >> heather: he has been busy. you mention the executive order. he signed at least 23 of those. he signed five bills, and he has seen 12 members of his cabinet confirmed. he has nominated one justice for the supreme court. what kind of job do you think he has done? >> when you talk about the supreme court, we can stop right there. many conservatives that were very hesitant about supporting donald trump in the first place, they voted for him because of the supreme court. and he chose a great nominee for that. we talk about jobs, that is what we are concerned about. when we talk about r

the head of the local steelworkers union is encouraged by trump pulling out of the trans pacific partnership immigration ban. >> the green lady, the statue of liberty, you know, welcome. i just believe that's the way it should be. >> reporter: patrons such as donny are on board with what trump has bedone so far and hop he continues to fulfill his promises. >> i hope he gets another four years after this one. it's got to be better than democrats. >> jason carol, thank you so much. >> still to come, a couple who escaped war torn aleppo and came to the u.s. they're now speaking out against president trump's travel ban. we'll have their story next. the world is full of surprising moments. they're everywhere. and as a marriot rewards member, i can embrace them all. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts at members.marriott.com. dad: maybe he's really focused. mom: maybe he likes spinning the wheels. dad: maybe he just loves trucks. announcer: preoccupation with objects is one early sign of autism

president and they're excited with this president he said he's going to withdraw from the trans-pacific trade partnership, i agree with that, i think tt pp was an awful thing. there were republicans, including on this show that agree that tpp is a great thing. eric: you're backing that rabbit hole again. you said you're thinking about not buying your tesla because elon musk met with the president. >> right, and. eric: the same animosity toward the union leaders that met with the president? >> no, the problem i have with elon musk and supporting the president and then you don't go like rachel-- >> so are the unions, richard. >> the unions are praising the president for the fact that he pulled out of the tpp. >> it's also the keystone pipeline. >> and the infrastructure. >> and this president hasn't sat down with the teachers who are trying to get america together and the teachers are the one-- >> you can't trash a business leader for meeting with the president and go ahead and hold your beloved unions up on a pedestal for meeting with the same president. i've got to leave it there. we've got a lot more sh

out of the trans-pacific partnership trade deal. the two will continue the trade discussions over the next couple of days at the president's home. president trump spoke with the president of china last night confirming that he will stick with the one china policy that the u.s. has maintained for decades recognizing china's sovereignty over taiwan. he will avoid the u.s. supreme court over the travel ban but he says he may issue new immigration orders as soon as next week. >> we'll win that battle. but we also have a lot of other options just filing a brand-new order on monday. could very well be. but i like to keep you -- i like to surprise you. we need speed for reasons of security. so it could very well be that we do it. >> that's after the ninth circuit court of appeals in san francisco decided yesterday not to reinstate the travel ban impacting 7 countries. president trump still maintains they'll end up winning whatever legal battle is up ahead but again, he says it will not happen at the supreme court. >> thank you. >>> i had t

whether the decision by president trump to withdraw from the trade deal known as the trans-pacific partnershipt. >> was a smart decision, what did he say? >> they were asked about tpp. the prime minister did not indicate any great disappointment with president trump's decision to withdraw from the transpacific trade deal. that was notable, the prime minister said his country is basically fine negotiating trade deals unilaterally just as the president has in mind for his administration. remember he does not want these big trade deals brokered by several different countries all at the same time. so, we should point out trade experts caution the absence of a trade deal in the pacific could strengthen china's hand in asia, but the prime minister had a good poker face today. he did not indicate any problems with that whatsoever. >> he is really doing a lot, prime minister abe to cozy up to president trump as much as possible. on the subject of china which you just brought up, take a listen to president trump just a few weeks ago talking about the one china policy, that's the policy that china deman

on your earlier point on trade, the trans-pacific partnership, and a lot of trade deals, have a lot more with geopolitical relationship than economics with the u.s. that's the loss of walking away from tpp, in my judgment. >> luciano, really broadly before we go, on the markets. we talk about these policy complications. we've got bullish sentiment at a 12-year high. we've seen some anecdotal insider selling. are you still looking out for a sort of january-february dip, even one that can be bought? >> yeah, there might be a buying opportunity coming up. this can be typically a period of seasonal weakness in the dollar the next six to eight weeks, but i would say big picture, the market needs to get not just earnings growth, but lower corporate rates that start to feel like they're going to happen, either later this year or next year. if you get focus on trade and immigration, those are the type of things that can spook the markets, particularly the multinationals that depend much more on multinational agreements all around the world, and the framework, frankly, that the u.s. has built ove

would want more than was negotiated in the trans-pacific partnership. what does more mean? it means substantially more reduction of barriers on agricultural. which is very politically difficult in japan and substantively greater opening of the services, which services sector in japan as well known having worked that vineyard for many years is quite restricted. so that's what the u.s. would want, but what would the u.s. give. how could the u.s. under trump give greater access in the auto market than what it already gave it in tpp or greater access in any manufactured area. it's just a complete contradiction of the standard negotiation where you, you know, both give and get and mercantilist terms approximately on even amounts. that would not be the terms of the kind of negotiation which president trump seems to be aiming for in bilaterals. so i don't see that kind of a marriage made in heaven. what i can see, what i can see is some kind of very, you know, economic partnership agreements which has very little economic substance, but basically a cover for the military alliance

the white house ethics reform, getting out of trans-pacific partnership, the border wall, getting that immigration rules. there are a lot of things that have been happening. it just seems like now we might move from the executive ordstagf things and the gorsuch nomination was huge, but maybe move now into legislative action. >> but he does seem to get in his own way because there are days when there would be policies we'd be covering and he sends off a tweet about a sitcom star or something and everything just changes. >> mitch mcconnell, who is every conceivable way different than this president, tempt pramtally at least had a line, if the president had more focus, his numbers would be ten points higher because a lot of the policies are pretty popular actually, certainly with his base. but he tends to step on his own message. i think it's going to be fascinating. he is done with the orders. does he have the patience to wait for this process to work its will? this president is not used to the house ways and means committee having a markup. this is going to be a challenge or him waiting

and the trans-pacific partnership gave us an opportunity to upgrade the nafta.at chance, but you can't look backwards. look forward. and we should be continuing to work with our second largest export destination to add on to the nafta and make it more effective. >> in the meantime, though, ambassador, we are trying familiarize ourselves with the procedure around nafta, given that this is pretty much uncharted territory. we know that yesterday mexico started a 90-day countdown to consult with its own business community about what's important for it to bring to the negotiating table. how does that work and what does that say about exactly when we could see the white house pursue a new deal on this? >> well, the agreement itself says that any party can pull out in six months. we certainly can add on. the executive branch will have to work with the congressional branch because that is required. you can't change an agreement without having collaboration with our legislators who have authority under our constitution for tariffs and trade. but there are things -- i mea

i've also followed through on my campaign promise and written america from the trans-pacific partnershipso that we can protect our economic freedom. and we're going to make trade deals. but we're going to do one on one, one on one. and if they misbehave, we'll terminate the deal, and they'll come back and we'll make a better deal. none of these big quagmire deals that are a disaster. take a look at nafta, one of the worst deals ever made by any country having to do with economic development. it's economic undevelopment, as far as our country is concerned. we're preparing to repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. we're going to save americans from this crisis. and give them the access to the quality health care they need and deserve. we have authorized the construction, one day, of the keystone and dakota access pipelines. [ cheers and applause ] and issued a new rule, this took place while i was getting ready to sign, i said, who makes the pipes for the pipeline? well, sir, it comes from all over the world. isn't that wonderful? i said, nope. it comes from the united states

we have withdrawn from the job killing disaster known as trans-pacific partnership.rade deals but we're going to have one-on-one deals, bilateral. one-on-one deals. we directed the elimination of regulations that undermine manufacturing and called for expedited approval of the permits needed for america and american infrastructure, meaning plants, equipment, roads, bridges, factories. people take 10, 15, 20 years to get disapproved for a factory. they go in for a permit, it's many, many years, and at the end of the process, they spend tens of millions of dollars on nonsense, and at the end of the process, they are rejected. they may be rejected with me, but it's going to be a quick rejection. not going to take years, but, mostly, it's acceptance. we want plants and factories built. we want the jobs. we don't want the jobs going to other countries. we've imposed a hiring freeze on nonessential federal workers. we've imposed a temporary moratorium and new federal regulations. we issued a game-changing new rule that says for each one new regulation, two old regulations

ross winkelbar head of the local steel union is encouraged by trump pulling out of the trans-pacific partnership was not good for u.s. workers, but he is personally troubled by the immigration ban. >> the green lady, the tastatuef liberty, you know, welcome. i believe that's the way it should be. >> reporter: patrons such as donnie belusic are on board with what trump has done so far and hope he continues to fulfill his omises. >> i hope he gets another four years after ts one. got to be better than the democrats. >> now, jason carroll reporting there. thanks for being with us this hour. i'm michael holmes. >> i'm lynda kinkade. we will be back for another hour of "cnn newsroom" after a short of "cnn newsroom" after a short break. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com ♪ we've got the beer ♪ miller beer with not food, become food? thankfully at panera, 100% of our food is 100% clean. no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors. panera. food as it should be. >> welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world.in the i'm michael holmes. >> i'm lynda kinkade. it is midnight on

disaster known as the trans-pacific partnership. tpp, we have just terminated our relationship to it. we're going to have tremendous trade deals all over the world, but they're going to be bilateral or as we would say, one-on-one. none of these deals where we get caught in quick sand. get mired in and we can't do anything about it. by the way, nafta and so many others. my administration has begun plans to crack down on foreign cheating and currency manipulation which is killing our companies and really, really hurting our workers. we're going to end it. within a few days of taking the oath of office, i've taken steps to begin the construction of the keystone and the dakota access pipelines. anywhere from 30-40,000 jobs. and very importantly, as i was about to sign it, i said who makes the pipe? who makes the pipe? something this audience understands very well; right? simple question. the lawyers put this very complex document in front. i said, who makes the pipe? they said, sir, it can be made anywhere. i said not anymore. i put a l
