well i think we have reason to be pessimistic mr ross is you know more of a hardline protectionist in the trump administration somebody who's more interested in creating jobs in american steel and aluminum factories then on international trade also find found a quote today from what he said in paris he said he hasn't seen car companies closing up he hasn't seen can companies closing up because of the terrorists which are already in place since march remember countries like china are already paying them the e.u. and a few other countries only got a reprieve until the end of this week so what's going to happen at the end of this week. well it's most likely that if you know those terrorists will be imposed on european goods in america the europeans will pull out their list and put tariffs and impose tariffs on those american products which are on this list but you know i wouldn't start to talk about a trade war or about this being the beginning of a trade war we also should know that despite all the rhetoric despite all the twittering by the u.s. president that you know bilateral deals a

mr. rossay the eu is the only trading partner that has said they will not be willing to engage in discussions as long as tariffs do end up getting applied. of course, all of this comes at a time when policy makers have been discussing next steps on mu multilateralism and how to improve it to make it more inclusive and more fair. >> economic growth was revised slightly lower here for the first quart other of the year. in its latest revision the government said this morning that the economy grew at a 2.2% annual rate between january and march, down from the previous estimate of 2.3%. economists say that businesses and cop sum nsumers slowed thei spending a tad. >>> u.s. businesses added to their payrolls in may. according to the latest adp survey private payrollshiring i construction, education and health care. it might be slowing slightly as the pool of available workers dwindles. >>> the fed reserve is refining a rule that governs trading at bank passenge central bank is proposing a chai chang

trump or mr. ross or mr. mnuchin again could take away, because they have only suspended it.ot of talk over the weekend about this $200 billion a year reduction in the china trade surplus with america that the trump administration wants, and as we have had some reporting on the bloomberg thing is unclear if they can make any significant progress. $100 billion would be beyond what seems possible. these are supertanker economies. so trump is going to face plenty of pressure to keep on being hard on china with the midterm elections, practically just round the corner. i think in the longer-term you could see an increase in volatility unless there is real progress. it will be like nafta, where every couple of weeks, we get some positive headlines and then the mexican peso goes up, then it goes down again. betty: all right, thank you so much, garfield reynolds on the market. he is the bloomberg editor for cross assets analysis. don't forget to check out our gtv library for the charts you just saw. that is on gtv and the bloomberg terminal. the week ahead on wall street will see a n

it'll be interesting how they play out because mr. ross dove and that's who is going for next round. >> he's definitely no dove for sure. thank you so much, peter, we appreciate you joining us. take care. heather: time now is about 20 minutes until the top of the hour and push for pot in the classroom, the state that just took one step closer to legalizing medical marijuana at school for kids. so, you guys have recently started dating... -yes -yes cool. i want to show you guys three chevy suv's. the first one is called the trax, great for when you move in together. -ahhh! and this is the chevy equinox, perfect for when you two have your first kid. give me some time... okay. this is the traverse... for when you have your five kids, two dogs and one cat. whoa! five? uhhh... it's the chevy memorial day sales event! get an additional $750 on these select models. that's on top of most other offers! find new roads at your local chevy dealer. each unique piece comes to life in the same way...ands. a messy, sloppy, splattery way. but now she's fou

i asked him mr. ross how many times have you been to china? he would say three or four, you know the correct answer? liz: 48? >> 84 times when he went with the president last november, that was 85. this is his 86th visit to china. he knows what he's doing. liz: he was diving into greece every third day during the crisis. that's what he does, he goes into area and finds a way. what do they need to do to simmer down this trade war, and in the end, the chinese, i don't know, you would know better than i, they cheat and repeat. they promise that they will drop tariffs on u.s. cars and nothing happens. >> well, their long-term strategy, they say, is to copy what america did from 1870 to 1910. they claim we stole ideas and technology from the british and the germans and we kind of very sneaky manner became number one in the world. they say they want to follow the american path. they say they're going to make concessions. it's been about a month of comments from the chinese side, so we can reduce the tariffs on cars. yes, we can open up our service s

i now recognize mr. ross for five minutes. >> i think the chairman and the panel for being there. a year ago today the house passed my bill which mr. kovacs referred to which is a fundamental accountability transparency bill that would require opm to require a trip to submit a report and doesn't it pass judgment on that time was used for or whether it should be used for and nothing. all it does is create the transparent process of accounting for all official time. in furtherance of that i would like to submit for the record an editorial from the ledger from the newspaper in my district discussing the benefits of that particular legislation. >> without objection. >> my first question is is there any reason not to have a transparent accountability process such as set forth in hr 1293 for the purpose of reporting official time. >> i think it's an excellent idea that taxpayers should know what federal employees are doing will pay for the public. >> i honestly don't think that you get an accurate report even under statute. >> but it is better than what w- >> absolutely. >> no jackson, m

i don't know, it is up to mr. ross who will make a recommendation to the president. by any stretch even remotely central to the trade deal. trish: i guess it is left some people a little bit confused, right? on the one hand you have the president saying look, we need to fix this situation this very poor situation with china. on other hand president xi says will you look at this? he says sure i will look at it. the likes of christopher wray from the fbi saying this is kind of dangerous. if zte is able to function here as normal, our security could potentially be at risk? >> the key point in all of this is the trade talks are going very well. i mean actually, president himself is showing more enthusiasm and optimism about this trade deal than i ever seen him in the whole discussions going back many, many weeks and vice premier he gave a presentation to small group of us in the oval. he outlined a whole bunch of remedies for the trade deficit issues, the barriers, the temporary riff and non-tariff barriers and the technology problems. president trump was very engaged. i

ross or mr. on this junket? michael: mr. ross is, mr. navarro has been sidelined.this trip. tom: this perfectly describes this except the chinese don't play bar scenes from star wars. michael: they certainly don't all agree on what trade policy should be. do the tariffs and trade sanctions from the u.s. actually have any teeth if everyone is exempt apart from the chinese? the fact that we have seen huge leadership change in china with the president there for a longer time, does this mean he can deal with the u.s. in a cooler way? michael: he can certainly deal with the u.s. in a way he would like to. they have a plan through 2025 that he would like to stick to, but he can also make some concessions that in other countries might not be as easy to do. he has a bit more of a free hand than a normal politician would. the sanctions on the chinese are different from the steel and aluminum sanctions. we have had sanctions on those products from china for a long time. the exemption must was granted to other countries. it will not affect china that much. it will perhaps aff

mr. chairman. and welcome, secretary ross. i want to begin by associating myself with the comments made by the chairman and ranking member expressing opposition to the elimination of funding for the economic development administration, the manufacturing extension partnership and the national sea grant program. those programs have been invaluable in my state. i would like to now turn to two different issues. earlier this year the department instituted import tariffs on certain types of paper imported by the u.s. printing and publishing industry from canada. this paper technically known as uncoated ground wood paper, but better known as newsprint is used by newspapers, book publishers and other commercial printers in our country. these tariffs are being advanced under the principal of trade enforcement to protect the paper industry. but in fact, nearly all of the u.s. paper industry opposes these import taxes. and the result may well be that small town and rural newspapers go out of business forever because they can't afford the

weeks we've seen treasury secretary mnuchin leading the talks, the fact that wilbur ross is the person to go, not mr. mnuchin or the trade representative, could show that the president has been losing some confidence in some of these other players or has been more openly critical of them. >> great to speak with both of you. we are following a developing story this afternoon out of maine. former president george h.w. bush is back in the hospital there. the 93-year-old was admitted today after experiencing low blood pressure and for a teague. these are pictures of him yesterday when he attended the monthly pancakes breakfast near his home there. a responseman for the former i want says he's awake, alert, not in any pain, but is likely to remain hospitalized the next few days. she was in the hospital four weeks ago for an infection he contracted shortly after the death of his wife. >>> rudy giuliani reveals what could be a deal breakers in the decision to sit down with the special counsel. stay with us. our dad was in the hospital. because of smoking. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. but t

keith ross stands for conservatism and the working class. he will come through there. i think mr. manchin, all of them are trying to be something they are not. what i found in life is when you try to wear a uniform that doesn't fit, people will see it and they won't like it. >> harris: real quickly, because this is something voters have to decide on the ground and you can bet the point will be made. joe manchin votes with president trump 60% of the time. your last words? >> i'd rather have vote with donald trump in the 90% of the time or 100% of the time. you know if you give me a failing grade and passing grade i take the passing grade every time. >> harris: congressman collins, thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> always good to see you. >> harris: you, too. coming up on "your world" with my friend cavuto, they will join him to talk about north korea. and that is at 4:00. fnc for the cool kids. explosive report on the russia investigation is raising questions about $500,000 payment sent to president trump's personal attorney. where did the money reportedly come from? what

mr. secretary, thank you for joining us today. >> good to be with you. >> so, given the comments from commerce secretary ross that everybody willis in due course, do you agree >> i think the policy is ludicrous. 50 years from now, people will not remember this episode. but the truth is, we shot the economy in our foot today by raising the price of key input for industries that employ 6 million people in order to protect industries that employ less than 100,000 people we damage relations with our closest allyies we undermine the system that allows our labor force to prosper and threaten our national security by driving a wedge between our allies at a moment when we've got real challenges with respect to china to face. so, yes, all mistakes are corrected in the fullness of time but to defend a wanton act of economic aggression that hurts our economy by saying that all things work out in time is absurd i'm appalled by the action today. >> commerce secretary ross said when it comes to additional input costs be it soup, beer or soda cans that you're talking about fractions of pennies on the dollar in terms of additional costs he als

mr. vekselberg has shown he's willing to do their bidding when they call on him. >> there are all these ties, vekselberg and his cousin attend the inauguration, then there are others, you have vekselberg and wilbur rossnk linked to dirty russian money, a connection that ross tried to down play when he faced confirmation last year. just -- i mean, is this just one more instance where because trump and cohen and others knew so many russians and were doing levels of business and deals that this was inevitable or is this something we should be noting about the fact he's tied up with the bank of cyprus? >> well, this is a classic case of how the kremlin uses oligarchs to export corruption on the one hand and on the other hand to co-opt western political business, media, cultural elites and often times it's very difficult to tell which one of those things is going on and so, for example, mr. vekselberg's investment in the bank of cyprus may have been a commercial venture that was meant to enrich himself and his entourage. or maybe it was something more than that. we know for sure, for example, that mr. vekselberg's investment in the innovation center outside of moscow was meant to curry favor with the krem
