>> i think they have a lot of challenges. secretary videgaray from mexico made it very clear this issue is going to be a priority in the conversations. it wasn't part of agenda as of two addition ago. but trying to talk to the mexican government about their plans on migration. i think mexico is rightly being firm in saying we will receive mexican migrants from the united states, it's our responsibility. they have done a lot to try to improve that process. but they're pushing back on the part that would say, but we're also not -- we don't want central americans or other migrants waiting for their final resolution in the united states to be on the mexican side of our border, it's not our responsibility, it creates a lot of security risks and would tax the mexican government and social services at the border. >> the white house is pushing back, maureen, against this narrative that there is even tension between mexico and the united states, despite the fact that the mexican president cancelled his trip to meet with the president and despite the controversial tense phone calls between the two. here is how twhite house press secretary sean spicer put it yesterday. >> i think the relationship with mexico is phenomenal right now. there is a robust dialogue between our two nations. >> is phenomenal how you so he it? >> certainly not. we wouldn't view it as phenomenal, the mexican government wouldn't, and the mexican population who really feel humiliated by the trump administration, during the campaign, the anti-mexican rhetoric, the rhetoric about the wall, and the criticism from the president himself about mexico and their efforts to address security. the feeling from mexico is that the united states isn't recognizing their contributions to the united states, both the cultural ties, the economic importance of having a strong relationship with mexico, and how they cooperate on areas of counterterrorism, combatting drugs, and even issues on migration. >> internally, the politics at play here in mexico, because you've had these really big boycott demonstrations in mexico, these antitrump demonstrations, at the same time as president pena nieto is facing another election and the liberal candidate is polling higher than him. what kind of political pressure is he under to really stand up for mexico and the mexican against the desires of the u.s. government? >> tremendous pressure. the mexican government clearly wants a good relationship with the united states. there has been two decades of building unprecedented coordination on the economy, on security issues. the government of mexico is saying we should not cave to whatever the united states wants, we want to be good neighbors but you can't order us to do things. >> maureen meyer, nice to have you on, thank you. >> thank you. >>> still to come, an entire continent left shrugging its shoulders. what message are they supposed to take, after the vice president says one thing, the president's chief strategist says something entirely different? >>> also thousands of conservatives converging at their unanimousannual cpac cove. reince priebus and steve bannon on the stage today. we'll be right back. people confuse nice and kind but they're different. it's nice to remove artificial ingredients. kind never had to. we've used real ingredients, whole nuts, and natural flavors from the very beginning. give kind a try. we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to?

>> reporter: poppy, you remember mike pence, the vice president in brussels, saying that on behalf of president trump, i'm here to tell you that the u.s. wants to deepen and strengthen u.s. political and economic partnership with the eu. there's been a lot of concern because of president trump's support for the brexit, he even called himself mr. before he re predicted other countries will leave, that the president trump administration was not committed to dealing with the eu has this 27-nation bloc. in fact just a few days before vice president pence made those comments, steve bannon was meeting with the german ambassador and basically said the eu was a flawed organization, the u.s. wanted more relationships bilaterally with individual countries instead of the whole eu. and this is really this kind of citing these populist, nationalist movements that elected president trump and are sweeping through europe, a lot of concern in europe about these mixed messages from the administration. >> the argument could be made, elise, doesn't this play right into russia's playbook? they would like to see a weaker europe. >> reporter: that's true, russia would like to see a weaker europe because europe, europe whole and free as they call it, was supposed to be a bulwark against an expansionist russia. in terms of the trump administration, you've heard similar messages but for a different reason, you've heard this nationalist, populist message that steve bannon, when he was the head of breitbart news, was also saying that was what the future was. and so i'm not sure it's necessarily the same reason. but it still does play into russia's hands. russia very much wants to see a weakened eu. you see elections coming up in the netherlands, germany, france, anti-eu extreme right wing parties are gaining ground there. and the concern in europe is that president trump might support some of those movements. that's why those mixed messages are very concern, poppy. >> elise labott reporting from washington, thank you. >>> cpac kicking off this morning, the nation's top conservatives taking to the podium. white house chief of staff reince priebus and the president's chief strategist steve bannon will take part in a conversation at 1:00 p.m. eastern, we'll carry that live for you on cnn. our phil mattingly is there. we saw kellyanne conway, who else? >> reporter: as you noted, i think the big thing everybody is paying attention to today is reince priebus, the chief of staff, and steve bannon, the chief strategist. there's been a lot of stories behind the scenes, maybe they don't get along. obviously they come from two very different parts of the republican party, reince priebus clearly in the establishment lane, steve bannon very much not in that line. i've spoken to people that have knowledge of what this conversation is supposed to be about, the point is to show a united front, that they're working well together and try to get a sense of calm or assuage some concerns about the direction of the administration. poppy, it's interesting, when you think about cpac and what that conference is all about, two years ago, donald trump came here and everybody mocked him a little bit because he kept touting that he was considering running for president. last year he didn't come at all because there were going to be protests. now this is the trump administration in full force. as you noted, kellyanne conway here earlier, joking that cpac will turn into tpac because of all the trump administration officials here. that's clear what you hear when we talk to conservative activists here, and it's the image that trump administration is trying to pull off at this event today. >> phil, i don't know if you heard the interview, i had matt schlap on earlier, who organized all of this, and the pushback about inviting milo yiannopoulos to cpac only to disinvite him a few days ago, and then to steve bannon, who many see as promoting the alt-right. he said, i think you've got it wrong, steve bannon has nothing to do with the alt-right, how do you see it? >> reporter: it wasn't a great moment over the course of the last week for cpac, for matt schlap, for milo, what he brings to the table, people say he's not a conservative period. i think the interesting element here has been, no question about it, steve bannon. i'm on capitol hill most days, i talk to a lot of republican lawmakers many of whom were flayed by steve bannon and his organization, who are now trying to figure out how to accomplish an ambitious agenda currently shared by the trump administration and republicans on capitol hill. it's uneasy, no question about it. this is at the heart of the rope can party right now, trying to figure out their way forward under their leader, the president, donald trump. and i think if you talk to them about top line goals, if you talk to them about supreme court nominee neil gorsuch, where they want to go on tax reform, on health care reform, there's broad agreement. but there's no doubt behind the scenes the last couple of years there is an uneasiness there. people are start to feel more comfortable but it's cautious, they recognize things could turn quickly and they hope it doesn't. when you talked about bannon and priebus speaking together today, a large part of that is to comfort those concerns, let people know this is a united front. they plan to stay that way even if some activists or conservatives are uneasy about the direction things are going. >> phil mattingly live at cpac, thank you very much. we'll carry that conversation, again, live at 1:00 p.m. between reince priebus and steve bannon. >>> coming up, iraqi forces regain full control of the airport in mosul, a major defeat against isis terrorists. we'll have a live report inside iraq, next. >>> a family kept party by the president's original travel ban now back together. an emotional reunion for these parents and their little boy. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing... ...what you love. ensure. always be you. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that i was only 16% italian. he was 34% eastern european. so i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors we thought was italian was eastern european. this is my ancestor who i didn't know about. he looks a little bit like me, yes. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com i won this 55 inch tv for less than $30 on dealdash.com. visit dealdash.com for great deals. and start bidding today! >>> a major victory in the battle for mosul after iraqi forces stormed the city's airports and took full control of the airport back from isis terrorists. this comes as u.s. troops that are nearing the front lines in and around the city have been injured as they come under fire from isis. our senior international correspondent ben wedeman is live for us in irbil, iraq, following all of it. i want to get to the u.s. soldiers in a moment. but first, this retaking of the airport in mosul, it's a huge advancement. >> reporter: yeah, it is. for one thing, it allows iraqis to say early on in this operation that began early sunday morning that they've been able to capture a major objective. the airport occupies a large area of southern western mosul and will give them an important springboard as they move ahead. it was not as difficult a battle as was expected, of course. iraqi artillery really pounded the airport in the days before they actually made this move. once they got in, they had to clear away the usual booby traps and whatnot. and shortly after they took control of the airport, it came under rocket fire, killing several iraqi soldiers. but by and large this is something that they can show that is important, that they're making rapid progress in taking an important objective, keeping in mind just how long, three months it took to take the eastern side of the city, poppy. >> a very important point as they try and advance and retake all of mosul. ben, these u.s. troops we've learned that have been pushing closer to the front line have come under fire, some have been injured. what else do we know? >> reporter: we heard this from colonel john dorian, the coalition spokesman in baghdad. he told reporters that yes, there have been wounded among the u.s. personnel. some of have had to be medevac'd. they've come under fire several times. not surprising, because like me, like many other journalists, if you go near the front line in the war against isis, they will be shooting at you. however, he did stress that when they come under fire, the u.s. troops go into full combat mode. and given the kind of firepower at their disposal, that's no small thing, poppy. >> ben wedeman live for us in irbil, iraq, thank you, ben, for the reporting. >>> still to come, an unexpected phone call means a wish granted for an iraqi family whose son was in this country separated from his parents to undergo surgery. >> translator: thank god we're all together again. it's really hard to stay away from your child when they're healthy, let alone he was burned. this year, chevy received more j.d. power initial quality awards than any other car brand. i'm very, very impressed. did i mention they received more of them last year too? look at that. oh wow! and the year before that... more doors. oh my god! what?! and the year before that... oh man! it keeps going! in fact, chevy has received more j.d. power awards for initial quality than any other car company, four years in a row. i'm speechless! impressive! chevy, stepping up their game! hei don't want one that's haded a big wreck just say, show me cars with no accidents reported find the cars you want, avoid the ones you don't plus you get a free carfax® report with every listing i like it start your used car search at carfax.com >>> you're looking live pictures of the white house state dining room. those people are chief executives from all the big manufacturing companies across the country. they're waiting for president trump to come in. they will have a discussion with him. we're talking about big companies like dell, johnson & johnson, ford, 3m, general electric. you get the gist. we've got complete coverage. athena jones is at the white house, christina ristina alesci me here. i saw one woman, we need a few more women ceo's. >> i think she's from campbell's. >> they don't like things he's done like the travel ban. how do they thread the needle? >> they have to walk a careful line. in these meetings which are closed door, we don't know what's said. and everybody is really careful when they come out of it because they don't want to anger the president, they don't want to be on his wrong side, they want to be invited back. it's hard to thread the needle. oftentimes really controversial stuff doesn't really come up in these settings, based on what i'm told after these meetings happen. >> you're so tapped into these ceos. what do you think the number one thing is they want to see from the president for their businesses? >> the number one most c contentious issue is something they're not all on the same page on this, the border adjustment tax. some manufacturers import parts from other countries in order to manufacture their products here. a border adjustment tax would hurt their ability to do that. i know that you know a fairly mid-size manufacturer, cummins, makes industrial parts in the u.s. but a lot of its parts come from elsewhere. it supports jobs here in the u.s., but the materials are coming from overseas. it's a very complicated issue that the president is really going to have to walk through. and the republicans, the gop, are actually in favor of that border adjustment tax. >> a delicate dance, christina. marilyn houston is the head of lockheed, the maker of the f-35 fighter jet, she's one of the women in the room. he's used these ceos to pit against each other to try to get a better deal for the american people. >> reporter: that's right, poppy, he has, he talked about that at some length at that rally down in florida over the weekend about making sure that there's competition. this is interesting, and unusual. i should tell you that we're getting guidance from the white house, from the press pool covering this event, this event is going to be live. the entire event. it could last an hour. that's pretty unusual. usually you have the cameras in there for just a few minutes. >> so we're going to see all of it? >> reporter: that is my understanding. according to the guidance from the white house we're getting now, this -- it was 10:30, but the event, once it starts, can be live. they were originally forecasting it to last more than an hour, now they're saying no more than an hour. i think that will be an interesting window into what kind of conversation takes place. we'll certainly see what the president has to say and then what these participants have to say. it is a very big table set up there in the state dining room, a lot of people. you mentioned some of the people who will be at the meeting. is that really enough time for everyone to get a word in? we'll see. we expect the president to talk about a lot of things he's been talking about in these meetings, bringing back manufacturing jobs, getting rid of regulations. one of his favorite lines is for every new regulation you have to get rid of two existing regulations. we also expecting he could talk about tax reform, certainly corporate tax reform. we've heard treasury secretary steve mnuchin say there could be a bill passed by august, that could be rosy thinking. he's had a lot of these meetings with business leaders. >> but never one we've been able to watch the entire thing. if that's the case, you can bet you'll be watching it right along with us on cnn. christina, this changes the calculus. these executives have to be much more measured in what they say, because people from both parties buy their goods, they cannot ali alienate either side of their customer base. >> that's right, poppy. a lot of these ceos are reluctant to go on camera to begin with, because of how these issues can be politicized. another big thing is, look, there were 17 million americans working in manufacturing jobs back in 2000. there are 5 million less today. the big question is, how do you bring that back without hurting profit margins which will in turn have a negative impact on the economy? there is a law of unintended consequences. all of these ceos are worried about the message that donald trump is putting out there, that you can bring these jobs back but how do you do that by undermining profits at a global level. >> and these are global companies, it's not just about how competitive they are here but on the global landscape. we're going to get a quick break and bring you more after the break. we asked people to write down the things they love to do most on these balloons. travel with my daughter. roller derby. ♪ now give up half of 'em. do i have to? this is a tough financial choice we could face when we retire. but, if we start saving even just 1% more of our annual income... we could keep doing all the things we love. prudential. bring your challenges. w...i was always searching for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i had it covered. then i realized managing was all i was doing. when i finally told my doctor, he said humira was for people like me who have tried other medications,... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief... ...and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections... ...including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers,... including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,... ...and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb,... ...hepatitis b, are prone to infections, ...or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. if you're still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, remission is possible. have you any wool?eep, no sir, no sir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baah renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane was caught selling the stolen goods online. visit geico.com and see how easy it is to switch and save on renters insurance. >>> all right. here you have it. the president of the united states, donald trump, walking in, shaking hands with these manufacturing ceos, a host of them there from companies like johnson & johnson, ge, ford, caterpillar, lockheed martin, shaking hands with the president before he sits down to have this roundtable discussion with them. as christina points out, we've seen 5 million manufacturing jobs lost since 2000. this is what this president ran on. athena jones is with me at the white house, cristina alesci is with me as we await for the president's remarks. can we listen in to the president, guys?
