he is marring the name trudeau four times to come.x, pick up the phone and say, here is what i meant. cleanup on the isle as it happens. >> kayleigh: sandra, i think back to the first term and political trump drops tariffs on mexico after migration deal is reached. we remember the mca it was a tariffs threat with the trade deal. a lot of times we trump, he is taking these moves in making these moves pursuant to something on the horizon that you have to have another later on the other side willing to concede. trudeau doesn't have a lot to lose on the way out the door. >> sandra: he's jammed up a lot of support saying we will not be taken advantage of and if he sticks to that he will get support for this. this is playing out in a public way. i was speaking at the markets to see if reaction to the presidents response and they have come off at their lows. >> harris: look at that. >> sandra: this is fascinating to see this play out in such a public way. >> harris: how do investors see this? >> sandra: uncertainty. i don't think you can loo

trudeau and he's calling the president dumb. he's, he's he's calling him donald instead of respectfully the president. and we're all talking trade war. it's not. >> about that. >> presidents reaction to him. >> saying that wasn't there when he was doing that. >> but i can i can reaction. >> i do not and i don't i don't involve myself in that. my job, pamela, is to basically look at the chessboard, look at what the president is trying to do. and, and this fentanyl stuff is like it all comes from china, okay. and 2019, the president tweeted, president xi promised to stop the fentanyl. he hasn't. okay. that was in 2019. and look here's it is it comes over on these. >> chinese ships. i just want to know. >> who owns the ports of mexico. >> i want to keep the i want to keep the conversation because we did talk about fentanyl at length and no one, no one wants fentanyl killing americans. i think we can all agree. >> on that. to do so, be clear, because mexico and. canada has. >> a real impact on americans response to, as you say, this

trudeau blasted trump at ag seventh press conference and trump responded and called him two-faced trudeau. they disagree on everything. trudeau gave a speech a couple months ago where he scolded americans for not voting for kamala and that this was a setback for women's rights, but that trudeau has always been a feminist. these people really don't like each other. when we see these meetings that go awry, conservatives used to joke that if canada had sent greta thunberg and rosie o'donnell to meet with trump, it could not have gone worse. that first meeting where they got together, trudeau talked about the impact of tariffs and this would be devastating to canada. trump raised this 51st state stuff. it got a reaction and got repeated. it has taken on a life of its own to the point where now trudeau said the 51st state thing is a real thing. you see where the liberals are using it as part of the political spiel that they are raising. in the liberal leadership debate, mark carney said that before trump just wanted our markets and now he wants to take our country. chrystia freeland was talkin

hi, trudeau. a subcutaneous injection that takes about 30 to 90s, for one thing. could it mean more time for you? viv, hi. trudeau can improve daily abilities and reduce muscle weakness with a treatment plan that's personalized to you. do not use high trudeau if you have a serious allergy to any of its ingredients. it can cause serious allergic reactions like trouble breathing and decrease in blood pressure, leading to fainting and allergic reactions such as rashes, swelling under the skin, shortness of breath, and hives. the most common side effects are respiratory and urinary tract infections, headache, and injection site reactions. it may increase the risk of infusion related reactions and infection. tell your doctor if you have a history of infections or symptoms of an infection. talk to your neurologist about viv. hi trudeau for gmg and picture your life in motion. >> liberty. >> liberty mutual is all she talks about. since we saved hundreds by bundling our home and

prime minister trudeau said retaliatory tariffs are going to come. how far can this trade war potentially go? >> you know, it's the art of the deal, right? i mean, we only not only have to look at mexico and canada, we have to look at china, but we also have to look at expanding markets. and i think one of the silver linings of the current trade war that we're moving into is that hopefully we do end up with new trading partners like india, like vietnam, like great britain, you know, across the world. so i think why trudeau and mexico and this president, our president is is negotiating this out. and i believe that they'll get to a good place. but while they're doing that, we're going to be moving out across the world to to look for new export partners. and i think we'll get there. i also think that, again, what this president has shown and what the what the people voted for last november was real significant change and bringing real work and change to the american shore. and that's what that's what we're going to do. >> well, i think one of the main r

. >> that's canadian prime minister justin trudeau speaking a short time ago, just hours after trump imposed sweeping tariffs on canada, mexico and china, the united states top trading partners. the move tanking u.s. markets and major retailers now warning the price of everyday goods will soon go up. in the meantime, russia has launched fresh attacks on ukraine after trump paused u.s. military aid to ukraine following trump's heated oval office blowup last week with ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy. this is happening as trump and his government efficiency team chainsaw their way through the federal government with big cuts to its workforce. cnn's kevin liptak live for us now at the white house. kevin, what are we expecting tonight? >> well, certainly, when the president returns to the house chamber tonight for the first time in four years, it will be that economic turmoil. that will be the backdrop against which he's speaking. and i think certainly the president wants to take a victory lap here, talk about all of these efforts he's taken to reshape the federal government. but

he told prime minister justin trudeau that directly. the call ended in a somewhat friendly manner, as the president said, but he's not going to stop standing up for the american people. so i think for folks on wall street who may be concerned, look at what this president did for you in his first term. wall street boomed. the stock market boomed. the president expects that to happen again. but most importantly, main street is going to boom. and that's why the president has this whole of government economic approach, which includes tax cuts, tariffs, regulation cuts and an energy industry that will bring down costs for american consumers. >> so the white house press secretary, downplaying the exact role that the stock market or the fall in financial in financial markets more broadly had on the president's decision. but there's no question we know this is a metric the president watches very, very carefully. so that is why we are told a one month reprieve was indeed put in place. the broader question is why one month? what can companies do

he told prime minister justin trudeau that directly. the call ended in a somewhat friendly manner, but he is not going to stop spending up for the american people. to answer your question directly when it comes to fentanyl, for the last four years unfortunately our neighbors to the north and the south, canada and mexico, have allowed america to be a dumping ground not just for illegal aliens but for illegal, poisonous, deadly fentanyl is now the number one killer of young people in this country aged 18 to 34. through the northern border and canada last fiscal year alone there was enough fentanyl seized to kill 4.8 billion people. that number is up 2050% from the year before. there has been more than a 2000% increase in illegal fentanyl seizure at the northern border. [indiscernible] >> respectfully, it was just 43 pounds found, less than a suitcase. the vast majority of fentanyl is brought in through mexico. what else does kennedy need to do? ms. leavitt: i just told you. last year alone there was a 2000% increase -- >> it was 43 pounds

and canada's trudeau blustering back at tariffs of 25%. democrats reportedly planning this evening to make a show of a few things. walkouts, noisemakers, wearing all kinds of potential blowback as the president gets up there to make his speech tonight so we will cover that live as well. dozens of democrats have posted videos of themselves and basically they are saying exactly the same thing if you line all of these up trying a new expletive line of attack. >> [bleep] that a true. >> prices are up not down. >> prices are not down but up. >> prices of groceries, gas, housing. >> the cost of groceries, house houses. >> firing essential government workers. >> martha: what do you think of that? we will talk about that. a big line appear for you today in washington, d.c. tom homan will join me. epa administrator li is here as well. where did all that money go? we will talk about that with him and trump economic advisor kevin on these tariffs and what they mean. how long they will last. who might get hurt and what the plan is. we will talk to the

and then trudeau comes back and he says, we're not backing down.n, can this just keep going back and forth. we're going to go up now. you're going to go up now. you're i mean, how how far can this go? >> yeah. well, i mean, when you look at china, for example, we had 10% that was put in place in february. there was another 10% that was put into effect midnight today. and then you do remember, though, on the campaign trail, president trump was promising at times a 60% tariff. so this is really just the beginning here. but to the question of when does this stop? we don't really have an answer on that. and i think that when it comes to just specifically our neighbors to the north and to the south, those reciprocal tariffs that happened on april 2nd would be basically overarching to every other country. but we just talk about our neighbors to the north and to the south. i mean, you do think about, for example, the automotive industry. we are so deeply intertwined because of the history of trade agreements that we've had, that you have car parts coming

let's go right back to justin trudeau, if i could. i apologize for the. >> interruptions and growth in both of our countries. we've done big things together on the world stage, as canada and the us have done together for decades, for generations. and now we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for north americans in a very uncertain and challenging world. now, it's not in my habit to agree with the wall street journal. but donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. we two friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see. and now, to my fellow canadians, i won't sugarcoat it. this is going to be tough. even though we're all going to pull together because that's what we do. we will use every tool at our disposal. so canadian workers and businesses can weather this storm from expanding e.i. benefits and making them more flexible to providing direct supports to businesses. we will be there as needed to help. but canada, make no mistak

and it was really justin trudeau unplugged saying to that.ying that he could speak to the american people themselves in a blunt, forceful way because he doesn't have anything to lose now politically. and i do note that he basically said donald, addressing him directly, you are a smart man. but echoing the words of the wall street journal, this is a dumb thing to do. he also made it clear, though, to canadians, wolf, that look, he's not going to sugarcoat it. and this will be tough. wolf, what's interesting here is that so many people across canada are echoing what the prime minister has said. we have had leaders of provinces say that they are actually breaking up with america. and make no mistake here, wolf, this will hurt canadians. this will really bite. but it will also hurt many americans as well in terms of what happens going forward. wolf, this is escalation. and justin trudeau is putting the united states on notice that there will be escalation. key though he did speak to those strategic industries. when we talk about critical minerals

i think they kind of trudeau has to save face by doing this. as what president trump wants is just a fair deal for the united states of america with everybody. canada, mexico, china, wherever you want to go, that's what he campaigned on and that's what he's looking to co. so again, i don't want a trade war. i don't to want be in any sort of war with canada. i think what president trump wants is this is a hard way for him to negotiate but i think ultimately you, me, and the rest of the american people went. stuart: the market coming back a bit and dow was down 800 and now down 685. it was down almost 300. now it's down 1 # 0. >> if i could add for the people watching at home, we're one headline away from a 1-2% move in the markets. that could be up, it could be down. if you're watching at home, you adopt know when that headline is coming and you shouldn't be racing your investment dollars trying to gameable on that. if we move down another 2%, so be it. if we rally 2%. great. don't try to time this. it's too tough. stuart: mike, thank you very m

trudeau now imposing retaliatory tariffs on american goods entering canada. mexico's president sheinbaum saying mexico will impose retaliatory tariffs on u.s. goods coming into mexico starting sunday. and tonight, china calling trump's actions bullying behavior, also retaliating with an additional 10% to 15% tariff on american goods coming into china. tonight, from target to best buy, the stores here in the u.s. already warning americans that prices will go up on everything from groceries to clothing to cars. abc's chief white house correspondent mary bruce leading us off from the white house. >> reporter: tonight, as the president prepares to address the nation, the dow plunging for the second day in a row, now down 1,300 points in two days, as trump's new tariffs ignite a trade war. the president imposing a sweeping new 25% tax on all goods coming into the u.s. from mexico and canada. america's largest trading partners. canadian prime minister justin trudeau quick to respond. >> i want to speak first directly to the american people. we don't want this. we w

canadian prime minister justin trudeau is speaking. let's watch. >> homes and everything in between. they've chosen to harm american national security impeding access to the abundant critical minerals, energy, building materials and fertilizers that we have and that the united states needs to grow and prosper. they have chosen to launch a trade war that will first and foremost harm american families. they've chosen to sabotage their own agenda that was supposed to usher in a new golden age for the united states. and they've chosen to undermine the incredible work we've done together to tackle the scourge that is fentanyl, a drug that must be wiped from the face of the earth. so on that point, let me be crystal clear, there is absolutely no justification or need whatsoever for these tariffs today. now the legal pretext your government is using to bring in these tariffs is that canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. well, that is totally false. let's look at the facts. our border is already safe and

he told prime minister justin trudeau that directly.s the president said, but he is not going to stop standing up for the machen people. to answer your question direct we when it comes to fentanyl, for the last four years unfortunately our neighbors to the north and the south, canada and mexico, respectively, have allowed america to be a dumping ground, not just for illegal aliens, but for illegal poisonous deadly fentanyl, which is now the number one killer of young people in this country age 18-34. through the northern border and canada, last fiscal year alone, there was enough fentanyl seized to kill 4.8 billion people, and that number is up 2050% from 2023 the year before, so there has been more than a 2000% increase in illegal fentanyl seizure at the northern border. why? because canada is allowing that fentanyl to come to the united states. the president sees these numbers. he fix about the lives that are lost. and everybody in this room, i'm sure everybody watching at home and across the country knows someone in our lives who has

you mentioned the phone call with prime minister trudeau and president trump. it was highly anticipated. did the president reveal at all what he what the rationale for these tariffs in that call? >> you know, we've heard so many different things from from the president himself, but also from his top aides. they talked about fentanyl being a huge part of why they are doing this, why they felt that they put these tariffs in place. now, after they waited a little bit on mexico and canada. they've also talked about the president making the argument that he believes the united states is being ripped off by canada and mexico, and that's why he put them into place. and so there have been and also said that they want to boost u.s. manufacturing. so there are kind of multiple different reasons. and the reason that matters is because these countries are left wondering, what do they need to do to to essentially avoid these tariffs, if anything. and when it comes to fentanyl, you know, as was pointed out in the white house briefing today, 0.2% of fentanyl that is seized is

you can see justin trudeau going crazy and mexico overreacting.president president is waiting for president xi to reach back. i had no idea we were maying civics again. why not the prelude out? you have the sleek back. i had a prelude with a luggage rack. >> jeanine: you loved it. >> brian: yeah. i love it here. president trump wants to stop the drugs. it working. he's on his way. it's working. the other one is he wants to bring muching back. he jumps back and forth with messaging. >> jeanine: that's one of the reasons that lutnick said we're going to make a decision april 2 to see what the autopsy and board numbers show with the fentanyl numbers. it's something that is under analysis. >> brian: i love your glasses. >> dana: they look good. >> jesse: professor pirro. >> harold: the stock market is down for the year. >> jesse: three months. >> jeanine: up next, talk about not learning your lesson. the democrats vote unanimously to keep men in women's sports, harold. >> harold: i'm for the president here. when you're in the military you're really cl

trudeau made no public comments today, but yesterday he was on the offensive after the u.s. tariffs took effect. canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight, not when our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake. i want to speak first directly to the american people. we don't want this. we want to work with you as a friend and ally. and we don't want to see you hurt either. but your government has chosen to do this to you. yeah. so how are canadians responding? well, several provinces are pulling all american liquor off their shelves like kentucky bourbon canada added its own 25% tariff on american goods. joining us now is rana sarkar, the consul general of canada in san francisco. consul general sarkar, nice to have you on the program. yr prime minister says canadians are hurt. canadians are angry. how is this anger manifesting? i think that, you know, he's absolutely right. i mean, i was in canada on the weekend. and to give you a sense, i mean, there was if you go into a grocery store in canada, you now srt to see thi

trudeau has been very clear that this is not a good thing. you know, all tariffs are good tariffs. there's no bad tariffs and some tariffs are good. right. there are some tariffs that the trump administration put in place that the biden administration kept particularly some tariffs on china. but this just seems chaotic and crazy. lumber steel the housing is already expensive. i feel like it's going to go up because the items to make the homes. the tariffs are crazy. >> they are crazy. >> so you don't have. >> to be a phd. >> economist to. >> know that. >> tariffs are inflationary. >> they're expensive. >> and they're irrational. >> so if you take. >> a product. coming across the border from canada. >> say lumber. >> you have to. >> pay 25%. >> more of that lumber. >> yes, the. >> the canadians will. >> pay some of that to the us. >> customs bureau. >> but then. >> but then businesses. >> pass it. >> on to consumers. >> it will be inflationary. it will. make everything. >> more expensive and then they're going to retaliate. >> so then us goods

and that's the impression i got from justin trudeau.why did he go and become one of those elitist type of scolds who looked like he was just overbearing, that sort of left wing overbearingness i saw recently? i think it was last week. ottawa, i see, is trying to pass a law limiting the amount of time you can idle your car. now, i've been in canada in the winter. it's pretty fucking cold up. >> there. >> that's why we used to have snowbirds before we decided we didn't want to spend our money in the united states. >> and i don't think this i mean, the the reasoning is it's going to put a dent in global warming. i don't think it is that you can only idle your car for a minute. i think remotely in three minutes. if you're in it before you can get going, it's a warm it up. this just pisses people off. and it looks like as in america, they still haven't gotten the memo that this shit don't work. >> that. so you're. >> against that kind of stuff, right? >> look, though, i have got. >> the menu. i have received the memo to be a polite canadian.

but trudeau said canada has kept its word on those issues.cused trump of engaging in a trade war with his closest ally in favor of embracing russian president vladimir putin. >> i think the question that we all need to be watching closely is, what do the american people think? how do americans feel about jettisoning one's friends and allies in favor of a country that has never wished americans well? >> china also retaliated against the doubling of the u.s. tariff on its goods, with new tariffs of up to 15% on a wide array of u.s. farm exports such as chicken, wheat, soybeans and pork. for more perspective on this trade war, we're joined now by cornell university professor gustavo flores macias. thank you so much, professor, for the time this afternoon. we appreciate it. i want to start by by getting your take here on this latest development we're learning about here. the u.s. commerce secretary says there may be some sort of a compromise plan in the works, where the u.s. would sort of meet canada and mexico in the middle on tariffs. i'm curio

. >> the canadian prime minister justin trudeau announced new tariffs on u.s. products because of trump's tariffs on american imports. a look now at his remarks. so did the canadian response. canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of american goods. starting with tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods immediately, and tariffs on the remaining $125 billion of american products in 21 days' time. >> today we are forced to impose 25% tariffs on an amount of $155 billion of u.s. goods. $30 billion immediately, and in 21 days, $125 billion of american goods. on top of this. >> by filing dispute resolution claims at the world trade organization and through the usmca. but in the meantime, our tariffs will remain in place until the u.s. tariffs are withdrawn and not a moment sooner. and should these tariffs not cease, we are in active and ongoing discussions with provinces and territories to pursue several nontariff measures, measures which will demonstrate that there are no winners in a trade war. now, just like i did a month ago, i want to s

canadian prime minister justin trudeau is not mincing words. speaking directly to the american people. >> we don't want this. we want to work with you as a friend and ally, and we don't want to see you hurt either. but your government has chosen to do this to you. >> well, in the last couple of minutes, we just got a truth social post responding to that by donald trump. please explain to governor trudeau of canada that when he puts on a retaliatory tariff on the us, our reciprocal tariff will immediately increase by a like amount. so we may not have seen the end of this. and economists are warning these tariffs will likely result in americans seeing higher prices everywhere they turn from the gas pump, the grocery aisle, to car dealerships, electronics stores. the markets are reacting strongly, to say the least. the dow down. look at this 656 points. the nasdaq and s&p 500 also down today. in fact, data from bloomberg shows that since the day after president trump's election, $3.4 trillion in value has been totally wiped out of the market. join

we heard justin trudeau's comments back there. canada has also retaliated. tell us what they are. >> the first round is on about $30 billion worth of goods the u.s. exports to canada. a lot of foodstuffs, things like coffee and wine. the much bigger ticket items, about 120 5 billion canadian dollars worth of good. that is steel and aluminum and cars and trucks. president trump has talked a lot about the auto industry and said at various points he does not understand why canada is allowed to make cars and export them to the u.s. there is also a flow of those products going the other way. u.s. factories have about half of the canadian market, by far the largest seller of the -- of vehicles into canada. those tariffs come on more towards the end of march. scarlet: thank you so much. let's go to cara lena in mexico. president sheinbaum has chosen to wait a bit before announcing your response. tell us what we know. >> president sheinbaum is showing she is charting her room course on the trump response. everyone this morning was waiting to see whether she would an

as governor trudeau. >> earlier. yeah, you know, so it's become very contentious. with the trade war that is now underway. >> and there's no indication that canada is set to become the 51st state. so we can set that aside and focus on the trade war. one other issue that that figures to come up is the issue with israel and hamas and the administration's support of israel. they've doubled down on that in the same week that they have halted a to ukraine. >> now we haven't seen this the shot there yet. but the democratic women's caucus, they're expected to be wearing pink out there in protest. if you remember, i'm past years, they were white honor. the suffragettes. so we haven't seen that shot. get that likely once things begin will be able to get view of that. >> our political analyst michael yaki is with us. still be with us after the president speaks to discuss it. what we've heard, he'll provide his analysis and then we'll head to michigan where senator alyssa slotkin will be delivering the democratic response. it's

and you heard justin trudeau say that. he said it's a false pretext to blame canada for, uh, fentanyl. so i want to go to another big topic, of course, and how donald trump is handling the war in ukraine. european nations have been rallying around ukraine since trump and zelenskyy clashed in the oval office. and meanwhile, the trump administration has been aligning more and more with russia. there's ample evidence for that. is trump's foreign policy essentially reshaping the world order? with the u.s. no longer at the forefront? >> i think this is going to have a seismic long term implications because, as you say, um, what trump is now down is he's withheld military aid to ukraine. he's withheld intelligence sharing, which actually is an extraordinary thing. it costs us very, very little. and it was crucial. it was the eyes and ears for for ukraine to fight its, its war defending itself and its territory against russian aggression. uh, but what it really does is it will ask people, uh, can can the united states be trusted?

he told prime minister justin trudeau that directly. the call ended in a somewhat friendly manner, as the president said, but he's not going to stop standing up for the american people. reporter: the conversations continue. trudeau's office said that both countries will continue to be in contact with that deadline looming. trump himself admitted last night things might get worse before they get better in regard to tariffs but that it is a necessary pain the country has to face and it is a pain that continues to evolve, liz. liz: it sure does. it's a pain that's moving to a little bit of a reprieve but right now only for 30 days madison, so we will watch minute-by-minute. thank you for the update so let's get to the stock market. the smart is sending all kinds of messages. some of them cross signals due to the fast changing headlines with the dow up 579, the s&p up 75, nasdaq up 288, the russel small and mid-caps which have gotten hit the hardest over the past 72 hours up 21. so, right now, as we look at the bond market, let's talk about

that is not a national security threat to the united states of america, prime minister trudeau pointed out that donald trump is violating his own law that he said was the greatest trade deal in history. donald trump initiated a renegotiation, a rewrite of the north american free trade agreement. during his first presidency. he renamed it the united states mexico canada agreement and signed it, as did justin trudeau and president of mexico donald trump said then it's the greatest trade deal ever negotiated. of course, that's the current trade law with canada and mexico right now. until donald trump decided to change it, why would he have to change the greatest trade deal ever negotiated? he negotiated it. that's what he told us. it was the greatest trade deal ever negotiated. nbc news is reporting that donald trump is very upset that his mass deportation plan is not going well. it is not mass at all, nbc news reports. a source familiar with trump's thinking said the president is getting angry that more people are not being deported, and that the message is being passed along to border c

. >> reporter: well prime minister trudeau says canadians are reasonable and polite, but they will notk down from a fight. that means a 25% tariff on more than $150 billion of american product, and trudeau says they will remain in place until u.s. tariffs are removed and "not a moment sooner." >> maurice: weijia, what about mexico? what are they saying? >> reporter: well, unlike canada, mexico did not respond with retaliatory tariffs right away, perhaps to buy a little time for a potential breakthrough. its president says she will see how things go until sunday, and if u.s. tariffs are still in place then, not only will mexico retaliate, she says they will look for deals with other countries. >> john: and finally, weijia i want to go back to what we mentioned at the top of the show, 83,000 jobs cut at veterans affairs. what do you know about that? >> reporter: well, cbs news has obtained an internal memo from the va that says it plans to cut 15% of its workforce to return to 2019 levels, and we asked the va and the white house who is going to be impacted? are we talking about administr

meanwhile president trump and prime minister trudeau hold a call to discuss tariffs - we'll discuss what could have on america's farmers. the white house also confirms us officials are negotiating directly with hamas over hostages still in gaza - and later this hour, the american vice president and defence secretary visit the us-mexico border as the trump administration looks to highlight its immigration crackdown. in a week where ukraine's relationship with america has suffered multiple blows - that meeting in the oval office last friday, the withdrawal of aid on monday. us officials have confirmed that america has stopped sharing intelligence with kyiv. the cia director john ratcliffe says president trump had a real question about whether president zelensky was committed to the peace process, but indicated military and intelligence suypport but indicated military and intelligence support to ukraine could resume. president trump had a real question about whether president zelensky was committed to the peace process. and he said, "let's pause. i want to give you a chance to think about t

and all of canada is lining up behind trudeau. doug ford, came out to warn america about the consequences of a trade war, although in a confusing way. >> the people of the u.s., which i absolutely love the american people, they're going to be paying more. the market is going to go downhill faster than the american bobsled team. >> michael: oh! sick burn! i think? it sounded like a slam, but if the market will go downhill really fast, that means our bobsled team is also fast, and isn't that, like, a compliment? our bobsled team is supposed to go fast, right? unless he's saying our bobsled team is slow, which is a slam, but then that means the market won't go downhill fast, which is good for our economy. this metaphor doesn't make any sense. the point is, doug ford is forcing me to learn about bobsledding and i do not appreciate that. is there a canadian who can make an analogy that's a little less confusing? donna reardon, the mayor of saint john in new brunswick, maybe you have a good analogy? >> i mean, we've been in this comfort

in a post on social media, trump says trudeau called to ask what could be done about the tariffs. president claiming he told trudeau he wasn't doing enough to stop fentanyl from crossing the border. important context here, though customs and border patrol shows just 0.2% of all fentanyl seized by u.s. authorities in 2024 came through canada. it was less than 50 pounds, and since then, the amount seized has been shrinking. less than half a pound found seized at the northwest border in january. cnn's jeff zeleny is live outside the white house with more details. all right, jeff, tell us about this exemption on autos. and considering these numbers, is it clear what the president actually wants from canada when really the fentanyl is minuscule? >> i mean, brianna, that has been a central question through all of this. what can canada do to really appeal to and perhaps appease donald trump on fentanyl and on immigration? we heard the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, saying yesterday when he directly addressed the president, really raising the question of is this about fentanyl a

president trump is expected to speak with the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, today. and that's just one day after the two leaders launched in to a for tat tariff war. and just also after the commerce secretary suggested that trump could be ready to meet canada and mexico in the middle. cnn's matt egan joins me now. so what could happen today? matt? >> well, kate, listen, we saw that canada and china wasting no time firing back. and so that means that in this retaliatory for tat, you're going to have american workers, investors, farmers all kind of caught in the middle. right? and that's by design. it's supposed to be painful. so say you're an orange juice farmer or you work for a company that makes motorcycles. your products just got less competitive in canada because canada firing back with a 25% retaliatory tariff on $21 billion of goods, including motorcycles and orange juice, as well as beer and footwear and spirits and wine, and also $86 billion of goods face a tariff in the coming weeks, including fruit, vegetables, cheese, footwear, guns and ammo. and there's

certainly, trudeau is not taking it lightly.certainly canadians aren't taking it lightly, and it's actually affecting their politics right now in a big way. >> yeah, we're seeing what is just uncharacteristic animosity from the canadians toward americans. you had one mayor, i think it was of manitoba saying that they're going to take all american liquor off the shelf. you hearing they're hearing the national anthem, booed at hockey games. you're seeing people wear made in america shirts trying to find that, you know, antagonizing other shoppers when they may be reaching for maple sirup that comes from vermont. what are you doing? take maple sirup that comes from canada. it's not. we've been such close friends for so long. it's just a strange position to be in, to find that our closest neighbor to the north is suddenly, suddenly feels more like not our enemy, but we don't feel like we're comfortable buddies any longer. >> yeah. what does it tell you about how radically donald trump has reoriented foreign policy? that canada is th

an important day forjustin trudeau as he must decide by tonight or not introduce intrwoduce 2ws% tariffsll come out, and to the north there'll be some sunny spells — but windy in the north, north of the country. areas, the fog lifting and then quite a bit of sunshine around. then, as we move from tuesday into wednesday — it's going to be quite cloudy across scotland, northern climbing a bit. for him to resign. the president says russia has launched more than 1000 attack in just the past week. pakistan will go ahead with the deportation will undergo a �*major investigation' by

and yet he's telling justin trudeau, trudeau. you need to get better.that part of the frustration that folks on wall street analysts are feeling that this is based on a questionable set of facts? >> absolutely. they're talking about this is the drug war phase of this. the trade war happens april 12th when there are reciprocal tariffs, even more tariffs potentially coming on. and what the perplexing thing is for investors and for business owners, what is the tool and what is the goal? they know what the tool is. the tool is tariffs. but they're trying to figure out is it bringing factories home. is it punishing countries for fentanyl? is it illegal immigration? is it imbalances in the us? you know the us trade deficit. what is it exactly. that is the goal here and how will it be carried out. it's just been a little chaotic. and one of the real concerns is retaliation. right. we've already heard that china is going to start retaliating against american farmers. we've seen this movie and it cost billions of taxpayer dollars to bail out farmers and a lot of

post while he's in europe stirring up anti-trump sentiment, these guys never liked each other and trudeauing to lose he's been kicked up by his party he is in his last days causing a true medicine amount of banks trump goes with the 51st state and that makes canadians crazy. the truth is that is not being discussed at all is not part of the narrative that is occurring as we speak. in washington, d.c. because there's no leadership at the federal level there is no active prime minister that is relevant it's avoid what occurred is all the premieres of the different agendas in the giant behemoth in terms of economies and energy as well and there down with their teams trying to focus on a new deal if you want to call it nafta three a slight chance this whole thing gets punted to apris out on impact of tariffs on canada and mexico this nationalism is the noise it's not the signal. >> i want your take on zelenskyy and trump spat in the oval office last friday what was your take on the very tense backwards and forwards. >> these kinds of discussions in the generation of leaders whether as far bac

a response from trump calling trudeau the governor of canada in a social media post, adding, quote, when he puts a retaliatory tariff on the u.s, our reciprocal tariff will immediately increase by a like amount. >> it is now estimated that the average american family in one year will pay $2,700 more because of the trump tariffs. >> house speaker mike johnson, who will be seated behind trump during tonight's address, is doubling down on the tariffs. >> as the president said it. just have a little patience with this, let it play out, see how it develops. and i think at the end of the day, america is going to be better off. >> the president is also expected to address the us's support for ukraine, as the administration announced a freeze on all military aid to ukraine following that explosive meeting in the oval office last week. vice president vance today said the freeze was meant to send a clear message. >> the ukrainians have got to come to the table and start negotiating with president trump. >> ukrainian president zelenskyy says he's willing to return to negotiations, adding, quot

as for canada, here's prime minister trudeau. and yeah, we're probably going to keep booing the american anthem. but let me tell americans, we're not booing you. we're not booing your teams. we're not booing your players. we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. and we're insulted and we're angry. but we're canadian, which means we're going to stand up for each other. we're going to fight. and we're going to win. president trump posted a short time ago on social media any reciprocal tariffs from canada will just increase american tariffs. that is literally the definition of a trade war. as for the real war in ukraine, president zelenskyy wrote a lengthy social media post suggesting the first steps of a cease fire. this comes after president trump said he would cut ukraine's supply of american weapons. zelenskyy has been open to peace talks for years now. in fact, there were a series of peace talks at the start of the war. but the ukrainian president has demanded two things. one, that ukraine has a seat at the table in i

but no thaw in the ice with canadian prime minister justin trudeau, who spoke with the president today. in his address to congress last night president trump mostly holding firm on the new tariffs imposed on america's three biggest trading partners. and he made it clear there are more to come. retailers now warning of higher prices on evyday grocery items, from avocados to fish. senior business correspondent christine romans starts us off tonight with the deep impact so many are expecting just days from now. >> reporter: a new protectionist era in america and the president acknowledging americans will feel it in their pocketbook. >> tariffs are about making america rich again and making america great again, and it's happening and it will happen rather quickly. there will be a little disturbance. but we're okay with that. it won't be much. >> reporter: that disturbance, according to one estimate, will cost the average american household $1,200 to $1,300 more a year for the goods they're buying now. the white house announcing one change to its policy after the president spoke today with
