eamon javers joins us now with more on that eamon? >> reporter: kelly, that's right.hat meeting is going on right now inside the oval office the secretary general jen stoltenberg meeting with president trump about nato this has been a fraught relationship with nato, celebrating the 70th anniversary this year. the president has been very critical of nato allies not paying what the president views as their fair share in terms of an allocation of their defense spending based on their gdp. he feels all of those nato countries should be spending more on defense. he likes it when they up their defense spending but we have not seen all of the countries live up to what the president's expectations are, so you can expect that topic will come up here in this meeting we'll see it on camera here momentarily and we'll also see the opening of a bilateral session between the president and the nato secretary general as well. so stand by for some presidential comments here at the white house on those topics. >> eamon i'm curious from your standpoint, does it sound like the white house

eamon javers at the white house. eamon? >> reporter: the president on his way to california today. going to be doing a border event and a couple of other events as well but on his way out of the white house this morning, he stopped to talk to reporters and re-upped his criticism of the federal reserve and in fact, asked for an end to quantitative tightening and what he wants is. here's what the president said. >> i personally think the fed should drop rates. i think they really slowed us down there's no inflation i would say in terms of quantitative tightening, it should be quantitative easing. very little, if any inflation, and i think they should drop rates and they should get rid of quantitative tightening. >> reporter: the president earlier suggested the fed to stop raising interest rates. he got that from the federal reserve. also suggested a while back he wanted them to stop unwinding the balance sheet, ultimately, he got that from the fed as well and now what the president is suggesting is that he wants to see quantitative easing, that he would like to see the fed in a buyin

so eamon, what was said and what was th, >> ye sue. that's right.as in the oval office with the premier for the one portion of the meeting in the a oval the president said that progress is being made. he likes where things stand with this trade negotiation, but he also said that it could be four more weeks before we know whether there is a deal or not to be had here and just as interesting as what he said herw wast he didn't say. the president did not announce as many expected he might, a date for a summit with xi jinping in which they wouldfi lize this deal. so that is still off in the distance at some point and not clctr when e that would happen. i asked the president what the sticking points are here on the negotiations and he mentioned two. he said tariffs are a sticking point and also t issue of intellectual property is sti a a sticking poi those are tha core things they're about and that's the core at this dispute and the president saying those are still the sti ing points. i think that gives you a sense of it could be a long four weeks here b

on eamon. let's talk about what this means for the markets and policy going-forward. let's bring in libby cantrell head of pimco. the democrats are going do complain it's too heavily redacted, we need to investigate further. what do you see going-forward? >> this is hitting through a partisan lens. the republicans are sort 6 claiming vindication here, that there's no collusion democrats may walk-through the door that the mueller report opened, in terms of investigating further, whether there is obstruction of justice. i think you'll hear louder calls for impeachment hearings from the left speaker pelosi will do everything she can to not heed those calls. washington is weather polarized, already partisan there was not leeway anyway. the big things that president interrupt wants to move legislatively, is nafta 2.0, that might be harder to move now with a more fractured relationship >> do you believe that, ron, to libbys point that in some ways will affect what should be bipartisan or nonpartisan.

, go ahead i'll let you defend yourself >> i'm not attacking eamon >> no, look. that's right the official white house line here is no collusion the white house is not colluding with the fed to lower interest rates. they're just suggesting interest rates ought to be lowered and saying it on television and nationally publicized events therefore, it's not a direct order to the fed, and the fed is not bowing to any pressure the fed is simply discovering the right side of the argument, and doing exactly what the president wants on their own i mean, that's what the white house will tell you. i think one of the real questions here for historians, economic historians, political historians is what is the content of the conversations that the president is having with the fed chair we don't know exactly what the president said to jay powell when he had him here for dinner. we don't know exactly word for word what he said to jay powell during the march 8th phone call. we don't know how many phone calls there have been between president trump and jay powell to really understa

we'll go to eamon javers with some of the top lines out of this newsroom. eamon?ler, that's right a couple of announcements the fcc chairman about to make one is this $20 billion fund from the u.s. government designed to spur the kind of investment that you just heard the president talk about rural broadband access that's a big area of focus for this administration. so that's one of the areas that we're going to see them focusing on here. we're also seeing this administration focused ultimately on deploying 5g across the country in an effort, really here, to push back on chinese dominance of 5g. we've seen concerns on this huawei, that company making some inroads with 5g deployment around the world this administration really hoping to focus on pushing back on the success of companies like foreign competitors like huawei and making sure that american companies have the opportunity to compete in this 5g universe so i think that overall, this is a politically sort of a twofer for this president two political big wins for the president and sort of embracing that talki

>>> the head of the secret service, the next person to exit the trump white house is just happened eamon javers with the details. >> the president has fired his secret service director this afternoon. randolph a retired marine corps general running the secret service, fired today the white house not offering any explanation for this sudden departure but comes a day after kirstjen nielsen head of the department of homeland security was offered her resignation at the dhs just yesterday so a series of events here related to homeland security that the white house officials here not saying anything about exactly why this took place but one source tells me that ailes was asked to put an exit plan so this may have been in the works for over a week behind the scenes publicly, this all broke just within the past hour and reporters trying to get answers from white house officials some of the officials themselves surprised by this and i can tell you the secret service officials and officers who work here on the complex are also surprised by this news they're just seeing it flash across their phones

eamon? >> reporter: melissa, that's right. this unfolded last week, the president threatened to seal the u.s. mexico border if mexico didn't cooperate in terms of cracking down on migrants coming to the united states and then sort of changed his demands midweek this week and said that what he really wanted was democrats on capitol hill to pass legislation related to immigration, threatened to close the border if they didn't do that and then today, he backed off that threat entirely suggesting that he's not going to close the border this week as he threatened to do instead, he's going to give mexico a little bit of leeway. here's what he said earlier today at the white house >> we're going to give them a one year warning and if the drugs don't stop or largely stop, we're going to put tariffs on mexico and products in particular, cars, the whole ball game is cars it's the big ball game, with many countries, it's cars. and if that doesn't stop the drugs, we close the border >> reporter: so a significant walkback there for the pre

i think you asked the right question to eamon. i said last night, i don't think the chinese given the fact that the markets are raging back and that data has been better and i don't think they're all that incentivized to do a deal and what we heard sort of backs that statement up. >> if you're chinese he wants to keep the tariffs in place. if you're chinese, you want enforcement and you want the u.s. to checkup on you in 180 days and that is just not characteristic of what the chinese would want with sovereignty. >> i think that's a detail that's obviously critical and i'm not sure that we know that detail the assumption is they've agreed on what the terms could be, but how it would be monitored is the toughest part and if the monitoring means until we're comfortable. yes. i will still say what china could agreed to, and i think they should take the deal with these types of monitor approaches >> guy brings up the fact that the shanghai composite is up 30%. i don't think it's a determining factor as to whether china takes a deal pr

eamon javers in washington watching developments after the president spoke. >> that's right. president starting off there with the stock market. obviously he sees that as a piece of good news and an overall barometer for the economy under his leadership i asked the president how high he thinks the stock market can go and he didn't respond to that one, but clearly the president focused on the strength of the economy here as he goes into his re-election. also was asked a number of questions about the subpoenas from house democrats for materials relating to a wide variety of aspects of his presidency and pre-presidency and the president said simply, i say enough he said let's get back to legislating on some of the issues that matter and he ticked off a few including infrastructure and lowering prescription drug prices these are key priorities of the president. he would like to get back to not clear that members of the house of representatives would like to get back to those as quickly as he would. carl >> eamon, correct me if i'm wrong, are dem leaders and the president going to

>> eamon javers at the white house. some of the stocks with the most revenue exposure include alaska air, american tower, pepsi, norfolk southern how should you trade these stocks and it was telling to see some of these stocks and how they reacted in the markets over the last couple of days. kansas city southern was the one i had, and it had an youd sized impacts, threats that snafta would be torn up we have goods crossing and the u.s. mexico border and it was up in the past two days. >> to your point, 0.8% today this is a stock that i'm not saying people panicked, but at the height of all this rhetoric, and this is a stock that traded down to $85 and traded at valuations that i won't say we'll never see again. with that said, now is the point where people probably will be selling the stock because quite frankly we're up against levels in september and coming into an earnings release i think you have an opportunity to be taking profits in these name ahead of rhetoric that could actually intensify. >> i look at the mexic

eamon? >> reporter: that's right.respond to what larry kudlow told sara eisen earlier today, the idea that this administration could shut down the border but still allow goods to get through the border. they did not love that idea. they say it's not quite as easy as shutting down lane one and keeping lanes two and three open in terms of the border they don't like the idea of allowing goods through the border but not necessarily the workforce to move back and forth across the border. chamber of commerce officials saying there are serious questions about how that would be implemented and it would still have negative economic consequences larry kudlow as you heard, sara eisen say, suggesti ining ways keep goods flowing the chamber of commerce seems conflicted with that in the conference call that just concluded. >> in terms of unchartered territory, i know you're tweeting about this as well, are there any examples we can point to that this happened before >> they talked about the 9/11 event where the border was slowed do

talks are coming along well but that it has to be a great deal with china joining me now with more is eamon javers at the white house and making a special onset guest appearance, eunice yun kick us off. what's the latest? >> reporter: we expect to see the president in the oval office at 4:30 this afternoon with the vice premier of china. the question is, what are we going to see a number of news outlets have been predict today that the president is likely to announce a date or at least a summit with xi jinping to finalize this trade deal that would be a big development if it happens. white house aides cautioning they are not expecting to see that later this afternoon. on the other hand, the president is an unpredictable guy so we don't know what he'll say when we get cameras in the oval office later today >> eunice, from the chinese point of view here, the stock market is telling us one story which i don't know, do you think it feeds into this idea that a trade deal is happening and will be good for china or is that a separate story >> it would be good for china because it would lift a lot

and cnbc's eamon javers from the white house. general, we are seeing members of the military on both sides. from your perspective, how much trickier does that make this situation sm. >> the larger issue is the economies imploezing. he's a ruthless dictatdictator. millions have left the country. it's not recoverable by maduro. so tkey question is l the armed forces stay with them. the answer is more likely yes than no. he's got cumin intelligence operatives at every level of the chain of command. the generals who are incredibly corrupt have been bought to stay loyal to the regime and then finally, he's armed his own michelle. in the short run, unless the armed forces turns on maduro in a substantial way, he's going to sit on this disaster until its collapses. >> aeamon. at some point, the united states imposed greater economic sanctions on stuff going into venezuela, oil coming out of venezuela. but maduro didn't go. so at some point, the u.s. action has exacerbated the economic troubles kerry was just talking about. >> sure, but

mueller report on interference in the 2016 election has been released to the public and the white house eamonas more. >> reporter: we're learning more and more as we go through this 400-page report by by bit, that the president ordered the firing of rob mueller and it was the white house counsel who doesn't follow that order, saying that when the president call mcgann a second time on june 17th he recall he was more direct, call rod, tell mueller has conflicts and can't be special counsel -- because william barr boo, the attorney general, suggested that because the president didn't take any overt action to stop the special counsel's investigation, it would be hard to make the case that he was object instructing justice that you because in the end the special counsel wasn't fired now we're learning that the president did order the firing, but don mcgahn did not so it's possibly he protected the president, and set up the situation where the mueller report was unable to come to a conclusion on obstruction of justice. the attorney general is saying as a result of the president's actions here, it'

herecontenting itself to remain focused on supportive words for now. >> eamon, in the meantime, back at the white house, that meeting today between president trump and the democrats, some big headlines on this infrastructure plan >> reporter: that's right, and a big number $2 trillion is what nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, the democratic leaders on the hill say the president agreed to today. they say they're going to meet again in three weeks to figure out how to pay for all that but for now, there's sort of an era of good feelings here, maybe short-lived at the white house where the white house officials and the democratic officials who are here today suggest this was a good and positive meeting. they're moving forward on infrastructure and they'll figure out some of the details as they get closer to it in about three weeks and then, of course, kelly, we just saw the president tweeting about the fed again. this is interesting to watch because previously, larry kudlow of the national economic council director called for a half point rate cut by the fed. there was a lot of controvers

. >> still end up with 3 trillion or something like that >> right >> actually easing >> eamon javersguess wey talking about qe 4 >> you're right. this is a new call from the president to go from quai quantitative tightening to easing i want you to stop raising interest rates the fed has done that. then i want you to stop selling off the balance sheet. the fed said they will wind that process down now this is a new ask from the president. he wants to go back to the obama days of quantitative easing, that was the crisis measure that the fed took in order to make sure that the u.s. economy could survive the post-2008 financial collapse in effect that what the president is asking for here. it's a new ask i talked to a senior administration official a week or two ago who told me that the president was no longer angry at jay powell because jay powell had effectively agreed with the president he was going to stop raising interest rates and effectively agreed to put a pause on the balance sheet on winding. now the president is here asking for soelgs that's significant we have to watch what t

let's bring in eamon javers. i'll begin with you. discuss the irs and he talked, as well, about the fed and perhaps that is also where there were some interesting remarks where he said to sarah, i don't feel like i picked the wrong person and he also basically said that herman cain should be confirmed and had no reason to be concerned about the fed's independence or his nomination >> after initially saying he wasn't going to comment on any individuals and then he did say that herman cain should be confirmed because he trusts the judgment of the president in selecting him or indicating he will nominate him technically for the fed board. that was an interesting point. what markets are going to focus on here is what he said about china and the negotiations ongoing there. sara asked him about what the president said last week, this four-week timeline the president suggested we might know in four weeks whether we have a deal or not, two weeks more than that to paper the deal today secretary mnuchin didn't really endorse that time frame at

contributor in nato on the other hand we have subscribed to this goal we have had in the last four years eamon says in korean events increase in our defense spending so i personally find it totally unnecessary to to put into push to to put into question this goal now in the medium term but not in time finances or trump keeps telling him what answer would you give him if he says why can't you meet the two percent germany is a rich country you've got the money why can't you expend the money on defense yes i would i would say look at the numbers we are doing exactly what was decided in wales that all nations who have not yet attained the two percent will move until two thousand and twenty fall into that direction we are moving in that direction and what i would not do is what the german fully to chanel's do. perhaps saturated on this nest to to put this into question now that's a very good point diplomat is hidden there in your military. germany and brylin and the berlin wall they all had storing roles in mr biggs speech today i want you to take a listen to what he said about nato headquarters an

. >>> welcome back trade front and center eamon javers joins us. >> they say talks are going well at take a look at comings and goings as steve mnuchin walked into the building. liu he everybody all smiles today if you are judging by the body language, this was an encouraging day on that basis alone. but earlier in the day, larry kudlow of the national economic advisory council was speaking at a local event here in washington he suggested that there are a wide range of issues that are still being discussed. here's what he said. >> we're covering issues that have never really been covered before all on the table all making good progress all making good headway but we're not there yet. we're not there yet and we hope this week to get closer. >> what we're told is they are going through the agreement line by line making sure things as basic as the translation line up from the english side to the chinese side making sure both sides agree with what the other side is signing off to so that can be a detailed process and ultimately we don't have any word or indication of how long this is goi

let's get to eamon javers.e president.>> they'll speak to ms and the attorney general [ inaudible question ] >> they'll speak to my lawyers and they'll speak to the attorney general [ inaudible question ] >> one that lowers the u.s. trade deficit with china and how soon will it be before you can judge this particular trade deal >> well, i think a trade deal with china is good for the world. it's good for us and china, but it's good also for the world i think it is very important and we'll see if it happens and we've never done a deal like this with china and it's a unique set of circumstances, but it's a massive deal, and i guess it is if you think about it and no matter where you look, there can't be a deal like this. this is the granddaddy of them all and we'll see if it happens. it's got a very, very good chance of happening. i think it will be great for both countries, but it will be -- it would be a much fairer deal for us because over the years we've lost a lot of money to china china's done very well and

we're getting new comments on 5g to eamon javers. >> reporter: apologies, it's busier here than usualhad a minor, apparently, security incident. business does go on. they held this event on 5g, the president announcing a rollout of a $20 billion investment. i had a chance to talk to the chairman and asked him about the administration's efforts to pressure european allies to crack down on the chinese company the united states says is potential security threat to nations that use that chinese equipment in their internet infrastructure i asked if he was frush traited about that here is what he said >> we believe the security and reliability of 5g networks is absolutely important not just national competitiveness but matter of national security. i've been encouraged in my conversations with our european allies across the continent about the importance of security at 5g networks the need to have a framework to understand the risk profile is something we recognize a framework that works for everybody. >> reporter: ajit pai saying this is a collaborative process. he's encouraged by some of t

would urge you to talk to two former planning commissioners who were involved in the effort, doug eamon and dennis antonori and i would strongly encourage you to ask our staff to talk to then-planning commission president john morales if you want to know about how they dealt with choosing between public benefits. notice section 101.1, does not include what you're staff has adopted. which is shovel ready. >> thank you, mr. welsh. next speaker, please. >> i've been here before. for those that don't know i think 317 needs dramatic help. you want to thank you guys and the planning staff. i believe we're getting close to getting it nixed. i leave in noe valley. my son tried to buy a house in noe valley with a thousand square foot house for $1 million which is ridiculous but was out by half a million dollars. we're cannibalizing our housing stock and 317 didn't work. we have to come up with an alternate approach to deal with the impact of the monster homes. one of these days we're going hurt someone doing what we're doing but we have to come up with another approach. we have another problem a

eamon javers joins us with more. >> we're getting a lot more detail signed the mueller report about justecial counsel was appointed and the president's reaction against the special counsel. it turns out the iron kwlier y e president's own aides protected him from himself the report laying down a sequence of events in which the president first orders don mcgahn, his white house counsel, to fire robert mueller, the special counsel. don mcgahn simply ignores that order, doesn't do it and then later the president puts some pressure on jeff sessions, the attorney general, to restrict ultimately the special counsel's mission, not to look backwards at 2016 but to look forward at future russian interference in elections. here's what the special counsel says about that. ultimately concluding that substantial evidence indicates that the president ace efforts to have sessions limit the scope of the special counsel's investigation to future election interference was intended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the president's and his campaign's conduct so with the special counsel saying her

eamon javers with the update >> attorney general william barr will hold a press conference tomorrow atin the morning. so we do have some information here about how this roll-out is going to happen of the redacted version of the mueller report tomorrow morning what the department of justice hasn't said, though, is when they're going to release the actual report. presumably it's going to go online at some point for the public to read the question is whether that will be before or after the presser at 9:30. it will be difficult for reporters in the room to ask informed questions if they don't have access to that report so presumably the report will come before that press conference but we don't have those details yet from the department of justice. also, we're told that rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, will be on the stage with william barr, the attorney general. so sort of a united front there. and an interesting format here the department of justice is only going to allow department of justice beat reporters. people there every day and have passes to the building to be in th

juan guaido calls for demonstrations administration members are expressing support for the opposition eamon javers is here >> reporter: we have not seen the president on camera today. all of the signals from this white house and this administration have been those of support for this action in the streets today. they're not calling it a coup necessarily because the united states recognizes guaido as the legitimate leader of venezuela we've seen tweets from mike pompeo, the secretary of state and the vice president mike pence in support of this action that's taking place in venezuela right now. we also saw a statement from the treasury department looking beyond even some of the events in the streets today, looking at the idea of rebuilding the venezuelan economy the treasury department saying the united states and our partners and allies stand ready to leverage the tools of the until community to help swiftly restart venezuela's economy. of course, that's what it's all about. the frustration and anger about the devastation in their economy over the past several years under the current govern

eamon javers with the details in washington >> jack dorsey is in washington. he was at the white house earlier today according to sarah sanders the white house press secretary. dorsey met with president trump today. the white house confirming the meeting but not offering any other details in terms of who attended the meeting, even where the meeting happened, or what was discussed. you can imagine, though, that the president brought up some of his frustrations with twitter as one of the biggest users of the system the president putting out some tweets himself this morning critical of the twitter system saying as a republican they don't treat me well, very discriminatory, hard for people to sign on, constantly taking people off the list. big complaints from many people, different names. over 100 million presumably the president means there, but should be much higher than that if twitter wasn't playing their political games. no wonder congress wants to get involved and they should must do more and fairer companies to get out the word. presumably that complaint wa

i said it when it came public we have a news alert coming out of the white house and let's get to eamon javers. >> we have a minor mystery here at the white house because the president was just speaking to a group of children who were here for take your children to work day and he said at that event that president xi jinping of china will soon be coming to the white house. it made a lot of observers think that the president was talking about some sort of endgame here for the china trade negotiations that have been ongoing for a while and there might be question about when and where the two leaders might meet to sign a trade deal and that process we know is ongoing white house aides, though, were surprised that the president said that and told me that they have nothing to announce in terms of a visit from president xi jinping to the white house. first of all, listen to what the president just said just a couple of minutes ago. here it is >> welcome, foreign leaders, on american soil we have prime minister abe of japan coming tomorrow it will be a very important meeting. we will soon be h

it is likely to make headlines one way or the other we are joined by eamon from washington about the details good morning >> yep, good morning we know a little bit about what's not going to be in this report we know from the attorney general, bill barr that robert mueller did not find that the president or anybody in the trump campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy here we also know that mueller didn't take a stand ultimately, didn't make a traditional presidentialal judgment on obstruction of justice that leaves a number of open questions here as to what exactly we will find in this report a couple of things that people have been following this case very carefully will like to know as the day goes forward. one was why was mueller unable to come to a conclusion about obstruction of justice the attorney general says there's going to be evidence on both sides of that evidence. observers will be eager to see what that evidence is on both sides. >> br arr said that nobody worked directly with russians. did they work with other russian cut-out groups in the course of this election inte

keep in mind we are getting some breaking news out of the white house on 5-g as we said earlier eam eamonavers has that. >> reporter: they're going to be rolling out a couple of niche tifrs arou tiniche -- initiatives around 5. two niche tiinitiatives they'lle talking about today. building the largest spectrum beginning on december 10th the other one is a $20 billion fund that they're going to be announcing later today that's going to be a world of broad band opportunity fund. the idea is to get companies investing in under serve ad and unserved area in terms of broad band they want to make sure the entire u.s. population can benefit from the transition to 5-g. that's something to watch for later today. we'll see the chairman of the fec making the announcement later on today with the president. >> i keep on thinking of john legend and the national inquire of t-mobile merging to sprint. the justice department is independent. maybe we need to two combined? >> t-mobile has been -- >> we'll see here. >> what have we not gotten to >> quick thought on uber, not as bad as the year before >> i ke

eamon javers, we have the press conference now under our belts and we will await the hard copy. >> that'sht. i think the most significant thing you heard there from the attorney general is on that issue that you mentioned of obstruction of justice, what he's saying there goes a little bit further in terms of explanation for his own decision as to why mueller's findings on obstruction of justice ultimately don't mount to a chargeable offense here of obstruction of justice what barr is saying is though there may be evidence of obstructive acts by the president that we'll read about in this report, ultimately the president didn't have corrupt intent because he also didn't fire mueller, didn't take any steps to block the special counsel's investigation, and he says that goes a long way to getting past this idea that the president had any criminal intent in terms of obstruction of justice the attorney general there suggesting that maybe if the president had taken some of those steps, it might be a different situation. but because the president cooperated fully, didn't take any steps to block t
