carl: they talk about appointing a fentanyl czar. a small proportion of fentanyl enters the u.s.the canadian border. what should we make of these provisions that seem to address problems that hardly exist. reporter: bolstering security at the border, that has been on the table for some time. there have been additional concessions made. what remains unclear is, what the goal post is or the benchmark the u.s. will use to determine if canada fulfilled its promises. we have heard president trump speak about different issues he has with canada. the trade deficit between the two, and trying to balance trade between the two. the threat is not gone entirely, only delayed 30 days. there seems to be unknowns as to what canada can do to get rid of the threat. carl: if you look on social media you see video of candidate -- canadians booing the national anthem at hockey games recently. there is a movement to avoid buying american-made products. do have a sense of how this is reflecting -- affecting the relationship between the countries? reporter: there is a huge sigh of relief now that tarif

canada will appoint a fentanyl czar and list cartels as terrorists.prime minister trudeau signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and drug pop fact with an additional 200 million dollars. canada has acted on these issues and canada remains open to conversations about how we can jointly do more. productive, collaborative discussions like these are a much better route than destructive economic action that drives up prices for americans and canadians. with respect to our economic partnership the canada u.s. relationship has long giving supply chain's secure, ensuring the jobs at good prices. our economies are so integrated that i would say the partnership is effectively hardwired. nearly 2.7 billion dollars of goods and services cross the border each day in 2023. 36 u.s. states rely on canada as their number one export market. canadian consumers and businesses purchase more goods from the united states than china, japan, and germany combined. this is true in the case of many sectors. for example, the auto sector were parts often go back an

the president, part of the deal, we're getting a fentanyl czar and billions spent on this and we're branding terrorists, drug cartels as terrorist organizations and there's a number of other steps. >> a lot of that stuff from canada, though -- host: he said this is a drug war, not a trade war. can you elaborate on that? guest: i was getting to what he said initially, he has tariff threats for different reasons. with canada and mexico we had a free trade agreement and nafta signed in 1994 and a free trade agreement with canada before that. and then president trump in his first term renegotiated nafta and a new deal called the usmca and that's going to be under review next year. so one of the big question marks is why was president trump doing this if he'd negotiated a deal with largely no tariffs so to put 25% tariffs on everything, 10% in the case of canadian energy would be a huge overhaul of the deal. the point peter navorro is making that we're hearing across the trump administration, this doesn't have to do with usmca, this is just about the border. but the practical effect would be to b

, after their second phone call, canadian prime minister justin trudeau promising to appoint a fentanyl czarplement a plan that trudeau announced weeks ago to reinforce the border. the threat of tariffs and then the threats of retaliation rattled the markets last night and into this morning. "the wall street journal" had called this the dumbest trade war in history. abc's senior political correspondent rachel scott at the white house tonight. >> reporter: tonight, after feverish last-minute talks, a truce in the looming trade war. late tonight, after two phone calls with canadian prime minister justin trudeau, president trump announcing the hefty 25% tariffs he threatened are now on pause, just hours before they were scheduled to go into effect. it came after a morning call with the president of mexico. when trump agreed to pause tariffs on that country's goods, as well. trump's threats sent markets tumbling overnight and into the morning, as economists warned the tariffs would send prices soaring for american consumers and everything from groceries to cars to electronics. >> i'm not -- we m

canada said they'd appoint a fentanyl czar. that that probably costs are little.uch does opening an office for a fentanyl czar even cos maybe a million bucks a year if we're being generous in who knows? but the idea that trump can take a victory lap on this is ridiculous, and we don't have data to suggest this is what the electorate voted for. this is a complicated issue. we have a lot of data and polling back to to suggest this is actually not manager that has widespread support, and that's why even media entities that are often thought of as allies to the free market, political class, to people like president trump are calling this out. so this is trump's superpower and his kryptonite is bravado, and i think that we're seeing that cycle in this little episode. howard: i love the superman reference. i will note just that trump talked about tariffs a lot during the campaign. caroline, whether it's trump starting a trade war or trying to abolish usaid or trying to downgrade the education department which seems imminent, it seems like all of that the media reaction

the canadian governor government appointed a fentanyl czar. live out of ontario, canada, on that. got to speak with this new czar? >> sandra, there is a lot of breaking news, got to meet the new czar and administer of public safety. in memoranda signed by interpol in washington and counterparts in canada, to go after the venezuelan gang tren de aragua. that is one of the reasons why the new fentanyl czar appointed here in canada has such a tough job. he has to wrangle all of these efforts together to work with his american counterparts and also overt a trade war. there are blackhawks and a huge outlier of manpower, surveillance equipment. the appointment of the first ever fentanyl czar a much broader show of force aiming to appease the american president's demands. >> what would you say to the american president, mr. trump? >> if i had the opportunity i would say this is a clear demonstration of how seriously canada is taking defense no crisis in this country and how important our relationship is with our american counterparts. >> although fentanyl smuggling from canada into the u

the fentanyl czar. i guess they have a few helicopters flying.g but they were going to get slapped with 25% terrace and now those are gone for 30 days. i'm not sure what's going to happen and 30 days, maybe some other concessions? president trump saw a huge negative reaction to this as i know you predicted, i predicted from wall street. from the markets. from all the establishment types. do you think he reacted to that or maybe some of his advisors said we have to rethink this? >> i think president trump is a guy that in my opinion likes to ask people what do you think behind closed doors, but at the end of the day he's a strategist. he's thinking 15 moves ahead and he knows he has a leverage card. they will be pushing his way because it's about sometime somebody on america negotiated in our half where were not being taken advantage of. and love within a seven day columbia came out as if they're tough at 3:40 a.m. he is spending if you want to drop or not then you have panama, now you have canada. then you have mexico and then today is zelenskyy

he will create a fentanyl czar position, listing cartels as terrorists and launching a joint strike force to combat organized crime. in mexico the president there, president sheinbaum, is vowing 10,000 troops to the southern border with a promise of cooperation with key american cabinet positions. trump hinted the european union could face tariffs next. >> we have massive deficits with the european union, massive, like $350 billion if you can believe it. they don't take our farm products, they don't take our cars, they don't take almost anything but we take their cars. we don't charge them tariffs. they make it impossible to sell cars in the european union. they make it difficult, agricultural products. they don't take it. they have a lot of excuses. maria: and the wall street journal writes this. a u.s. eu trade war would threaten the world's richest economic relationship, european leaders call for cooperation with trump but say they're ready to fight, samantha. >> well, as we pointed out earlier, this is not going to be a trade war. president trump is making it clear that access to our

do you welcome trudeau decades the royal mounted police for this fentanyl czar position?s resume and it is impressive. i think he has got some really good experience. and he certainly seems motivated. so imauto really hoping that he does reach out. we can have some good law enforcement team communications and strategize. but the key to success is going to be whether or not there is a full and truthful sharing of intel. what are they getting? what are they seeing? what is happening? that's going to be the key. it's not going to be the after effect. it's not an us against they. we are on the same team and need to be work together on this to be able to combat the problem and we can be successful. with his resume and what he has done in the past, we certainly should be able to accomplish that. >> brian: so, sheriff, you need to talk to the border patrol in the north you need to be having conversation with american law enforcement as well as canadian law enforcement. has anyone done that with you yet as sheriff over in plattsburgh? >> absolutely. we have the best partnership w

canada has also vowed to build a task force to help fight border crime and to appoint a fentanyl czar. on social media president trump said he is, quote, very pleased with this initial outcome. >> we have to stop fentanyl from coming in, whether i like somebody or not, and we have to stop the illegal aliens from coming in. >> reporter: meanwhile, there's uncertainty at the u.s. agency for international development or usaid after trump's department of government efficiency head, elon musk, moved to dismantle it in his quest to reign in government spending. today offices are closed. cbs news has learned that hundreds of contractors have been placed on administrative leave. >> usaid was established by an act of congress and it only be disbanded by an act of congress. >> secretary of state marco rubio has been named acting director, and sources say some of usaid's functions could be absorbed into the state department. president trump does plan to speak to chinese president xi jinping later in the week. meanwhile, multiple sources tell cbs news the president is considering an executive ord

i believe it is the fentanyl czar that is new here.ut it's that last sentence, jake, there at the end is the most important here. he says proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together. that is the news here, where canada's prime minister is coming out and saying that these tariffs that trump threatened and that came out in more detail this weekend from the white house, are not actually going to be going into effect for at least 30 days, he says. that echoes what we heard from the mexican president earlier. and, jake, when we were in that event here at the white house, i asked president trump how that call with trudeau went. and this is what he told me. i had to call on trudeau. go. how did the call with trudeau go? >> very good. >> are you still doing the tariffs? >> are you still doing the tariffs tonight? >> jake, that was just about maybe 25 minutes ago here at the white house inside the east room. i should note we have not heard yet from president trump himself on this after the president of mexico, sh

that wasn't already what canada was working on. >> well, this new fentanyl czar position is one that will transcend any one part of the government will pull together a full canadian national response between our provinces, our police of local jurisdiction, and work with our american authorities. this fentanyl crisis is a north american crisis. our families have been rocked by it. american families have been rocked by it. we've got to come to ground on this together. we understand how joint it is, which is why we've, for example, announced that we're going to be listing cartels as terrorist organizations under our criminal code. why? we're going to strike a new joint task force between canada and the united states. and our officials at the operational level to work on this jointly together, because it's so interconnected. there are a series of measures here that we think will help us wrestle this to the ground, because too much is at stake. >> when canada's responsible for less than 1% of the fentanyl that's entering the united states, how much of this is canada's problem? how much mo

canada will add something called a fentanyl czar. and so whatever it is, it was enough to mollify president trump so that he delayed the onset of those tariffsnitially from the oval office. it was this is all about fentanyl. it's all about immigration. but but there's a lot of layers deeper layers here. yeah i mean this is what trump wants. and the president is saying we want to cut down on the fentanyl traffic. we want to cut down on illegal immigration. but, you know, tariffs against our most valued and most common trading partners felt very aggressive as of 24 hours ago when these were about to kick in, the stock market futures went down by six 700 points. investors don't want to see tariffs because they're inflationary. so they feel like bargaining chips. and so far let's be honest they're working. yeah. and every president including mr. trump looks at the stock market and looks at all those rates. we could see a 10% tariff now on goods from china. unless we have another d deal ia couple hours here. what could get more eensive? te

but essentially trudeau is committing more money and troops to guard the border, appointing a fentanyl czarnd launching a joint strike force with the u.s. this is similar to the deal that president trump cut with mexico earlier today. joining us live now to talk about this rapidly changing trade war in the making, chief of staff at the stanford institute for economic policy and formerly on the white house council of economic advisors from 2021 to 23. ryan cummings, ryan, thank you so much for your time today. >> thanks for having me, kristen. >> so canada's prime minister and mexico's president tried to sound strong and independent while making their announcements today. but in reality, is this a capitulation on their parts? >> well, i don't want to speak for the canadian or mexican government, certainly. but if you look at what the president trump was trying to extract a complete stop of fentanyl coming across the border, i don't think these actions are going to achieve that. now. granted, i think the tariffs in the first place were way too blunt of a tool to try and achieve this goal. so

call, the prime minister announced a deal, saying canada is making new commitments to appoint a fentanyl czar. we will list cartels as terrorists. ensure 24 over seven eyes on the border. but mexico accounts for the vast majority of fentanyl, with more than 21,000 pounds crossing the southern u.s. border last year and only 43 pounds coming in from canada. while trump vowed to press ahead with a long term plan for tariffs in these countries and beyond, he said there could be short term economic pain through higher prices or inflation. >> tariffs don't cause inflation. they cause success, cause big success, so we're going to have great success. there could be some temporary short term disruption, and people will understand that. >> among americans, that remains an open question. among canadians, their resentment was clear. as the star spangled banner was met with jeers at a weekend hockey game. >> by the dawn's. early light. >> trump remains steadfast in his longstanding belief in tariffs, which the conservative wall street journal editorial page blasted as the dumbest trade war in history. rup

now, they did get the new inclusion of a fentanyl czar. there is a joint strike force task force that will be implemented as well in mexico. there will be 10,000 national guard troops surged to the border. that's happened before. it happened in 2021 under president joe biden. so it's not some dramatic shift. but for the trump administration saying this is about the border, this is a drug war, not a trade war. there are things that they can tangibly point to that build on what we've seen over the course of the last several months in terms of some dramatic shift of things that were never on the table, that suddenly were because of this threat. doesn't seem that that's actually the case, jake. >> all right. phil mattingly, thanks so much for clearing that up, i appreciate it. let's bring back our our panel. so where are we in this in this tariff war against china right now? i mean, it's obviously it's very, very early. it seems like mexico and canada. i'm not saying it was just bluster, but he got something quick. i think it's different becau

the other thing they are doing is get a fentanyl czar. and they have it. and he is on board with the very impressive resume and we talked to the sheriff of plattsburgh area in upstate new york. clinton county. is he encouraged by what he is saying also said 23 years on the job, he has never seen it so bad. watch. >> i looked qui quick at his ree and it is impressive. i think he has some really good experience and certainly seems motivated. i'm really observe hoping that he does reach out we can have some good law enforcement team communications and strategize. but the key to success what are they getting? that's going to be the key in the an us against they we are on the same team and work together on this to combat the problem and be successful. with his resume and what he has done in the past could should be able to accomplish that. >> brian: 23 million pounds have come through and could have killed 9 million people we share a border we should share intel. >> emily: indians. those on the left protest about our porous southern border tenets of racism is t

"canada has agreed to ensure we have a secure northern border and to end the drugs like manta and all that have been pouring into our country killing hundreds of thousands of americans while destroying their families and communities all across our country." that follows the big win for president trump that pausing 25% tariffs on mexico for one month as well. this is after mexico's president agreed to reinforce the southern border with 10,000 national guard members, extending the throw of illegal drugs. here's president trump earlier. >> is there any chance that canada or china could also deal with mexico? >> no one is out. i can't tell you what will happen. >> is that what you agreed to to change your mind on the tariff? >> i would like to see canada become our 51st state. no one can compete with us because we are the pot of gold, but if we don't keep winning and doing well, we won't be the pot of gold and then tariffs won't be so good for us. but when
