so we sell 15 times more cheese to guatemala than we do the eu. we sell twice as much cheese to jamaica. we sell more cheese to new zealand, 5 million people, the other major exporter in the world than the eu, and they're very clever about how they use certification requirements and non-tariff trade barriers, and this goes back decades across all of agriculture. you know, they make it very clear that they don't want our product and you know, we're a pretty good ag exporter, $175 billion plus or minus in exports. you know, you have to work pretty hard to run a $26 billion ag trade deficit with us in the u.s. >> those are incredible statistics. one country i'm also particularly concerned about is brazil. which imposes an 18% tariff on u.s. ethanol while we impose a tariff of only 2.5% on ethanol from brazil. meanwhile, brazilian exporters gamed the system to fill almost all of the u.s. global quota for tariff-free beef. this annual quota meant for trading partners around the world was filled mostly by brazilian beef by january 17th. mr. dowd, do you

and there's no, you know, formal negotiations even well, and trump's response was to say that the euad been created, had been designed to screw — that's his word — meeting kaja kallas, he was actually in this big cabinet meeting, which was the other major event of the week — this first cabinet meeting they're not all confirmed yet, but most of them are. it was 60 minutes or so before. 65 minutes! all the journalists taking all the questions. and the other remarkable thing, of course, about that was elon musk, you know, not elected, not senate confirmed. we don't know what kind of security clearance he has. that cabinet meeting as well. there in the cabinet meeting when the journalists reported between some of the cabinet members and elon musk over doge and some of the cuts that have been made. and president trump kind of turned to the room and said, you know, criticise musk in any regard. and it was...it was crickets. there was total silence. and i thought that was, you know, just a kind of a unique way that you don't see very often in america, that he is very much the boss in the ro

we will see this summit between president putin and president trump, and then beyond that, it's how euct to that, how european leaders react to that — the uk, the eu members — and what happens to the alliance beyond that. we're getting, of course, as you always do in london, a sense that keir starmer has a role to play somehow, balancing the european, western european countries and the us. is there any sense of that? no, i mean, the uk does have a role to play. it's in — you know, many would consider — a weaker position since it left the european union. for president trump, though, he's never been a fan of the european union, so potentially it's slightly beneficialfor the uk to be on the outside of that. we know he's a big fan of the royal family. that is a real trump card, if you'll excuse the pun, that sir keir starmer has to play, is the possibility of a visit, perhaps, by king charles to the us, to come to the white house. can one administration permanently contain the narrowest of margin exists in the house of representatives. so for major legislative change, there's going to need

seeing that the eu's foreign policy chief, the chief diplomat for the eu, saying the free world needsew leader and it's up to europe to take this challenge. what do you see coming out of this meeting on sunday, explained to us that the pope had had a coughing fit, a spasm of his lungs, and he had been struggling for breath because he was sick. his lungs had to be aspirated, so they had to be cleared of obstruction. and then the pope had been given oxygen, a face mask, essentially to help him to breathe. but we were told that the pope was alert throughout. he didn't lose consciousness and even that he was in good spirits yesterday evening. this was a breathing crisis which happened around about 2:00 in the afternoon. but i think, you know, it has concerned people. the pope is back on the front pages of all of the italian newspapers again. you know, obviously the stories from america, from the white house, the oval office are dominant, are dominating the front pages. but the news of the pope's new problems are causing some anxiety. and the headlines are certainly reflecting that here in

eu is actually ready. they are really worried, the members of the eu. but you have to bring the uk in as well, maybe bring the uk back into the eu. so i think there is potential leadership, michael, but i don't know. they'll have to decide for themselves. >> all right. >> evelyn farkas, thank you so much. barbara comstock, please stay with us next hour. john bolton, donald trump's national security adviser during his first term, is calling on secretary of state marco rubio to resign over the oval office debacle. he will join the conversation. but first, elon musk, doge, is sending a new email to federal workers demanding they explain what they did this past week. write it down, folks. you're watching the down, folks. you're watching the weekend.

now the eu, he never trump never loved the eu. he actually hated the eu from the outset. but he knew he had to deal with the eu. he he called the then president of the european commission a brutal killer, jean-claude juncker, because he was a good negotiator and he negotiated a good deal. but that's all off the table now. it's project 2025 and you see it in everything they do and everything they say. and they were just repeating kremlin lines during the meeting with zelenskyy. it was really painful to see. >> um, and when you when you watch it, you've been to ukraine many times. uh, what is your sense of what happens in ukraine now? uh, can they, can they survive? >> so the ukrainians face an existential choice. if they if they don't fight, they lose their country. probably they. meaning the leadership, the army, uh, you know, the leaders of society. but even not even just the leaders, anybody who who believes themselves to be ukrainian, who wants to speak the language, they know that if they if they give in, if they stop fighting, they will be killed. you know, they will

we'll meet soon with king charles as eu leaders are gathering today to discuss ending the war on ukraine. as speaker of the house, mike johnson now suggesting zelenskyy may need to step down following that he did oval office exchange with the president trump friday. deep plunge in border crossings during his first full month in office. we will speak exclusively with the brand-new border patrol chief michael banks on the administration immigration crackdown efforts. welcome to "fox news live" i am griff jenkins. ukrainian president zelenskyy's meeting with eu leaders in london to discuss war efforts against russia as dust still startles from the fiery oval office exchange. lucas tomlinson is live in west palm beach and kicks things off for us now. hi lucas. >> good afternoon. president trump director of national intelligence toll see gabbard said president trump was and this war perhaps with a compromise ukraine's president wants this. >> and president zelenskyy has different aims in mind. he said he wants to end this war will only accept and apparently that leads to what he views as ukra

after after the eu and the uk which then part of the eu got together with a number of progressive developing countries with a sense that they weren't getting their voices heard. they were kind getting squashed by the big the big developing that were sort of the proponents of a firewall all these guys didn't care that much about the firewall they cared a whole lot about ambition about doing a lot and so something called the cartagena dialog got we weren't part of that we weren't invited to be part of it because one of their principles was that they wanted a legal agreement. but we thought it was great actually. we thought it was it was really very useful. it became a pivotal part of durban, actually, that that allegiance, that alliance and and it sort of came up at another another kind of version. it what became part of of paris. and at that point we were part of it but we worked a lot with the small islands and that we're very concerned the issue the issue that came to be called loss and damage. i mean, they first of all, they were afraid of disappearing because what the sea level rises. we

eu. they don't treat us right as a country. we are not going to have any companies left anymore. i also want to thank apple for announcing they are going to invest $500 billion in our country. and they are going to do it very quickly because of tariffs. they don't want to pay the tariffs. it wouldn't have done it without us. they feel very strongly about the direction of the company -- the country. the polls are coming out showing direction of the country is the best they have ever seen. so i just want to thank tim cook and apple for the confidence. $500 billion, the biggest investment anyone has made in a short period of time. >> have you spoken with the house republican holdouts who said they would not be supporting the budget resolution? >> i'm not involved in that. they know what i want. the senate knows what i want. they have a bill that is very strong having to do with the taxes which is what's bringing all these companies in. without it, you would have to double euros in taxes. he would have the biggest tax increase ever. the house has a bill and the senate has a bill and

the eu doesn't have an exit strategy. i saw the comments tonight from the leader of the eu saying they need a new leader of the free world. i mean, these people are just playing silly games and saying these things. what is their exit strategy? what is anybody else's exit strategy? the only person on the planet who is actively trying to bring an end to this conflict? his name, donald trump, the president of the united states, he's the only one that's trying to do it. and we should be helping him to achieve it. and so do i think it's possible. yeah, i hope it's possible because that's what we do try to do at the department of state is we try to bring end to conflict, not start new ones, and certainly not extend them. >> up next, much more to come during that interview interview with secretary rubio, including whether or not he agrees with a suggestion from his former colleague, senator lindsey graham, that zelenskyy should resign. up next, we'll have a democratic senator to respond as well. >> you might know harbor freight

, some not in the eu, to demonstrate solidarity with zelenskyy, who will be there. um, but also to try and find a way, uh, to shore up european support for him, including military support, especially if, as now seems increasingly likely, uh, the trump administration freezes military aid to ukraine. so this is a a whirl of activity. and it's it's quite unprecedented to see a british prime minister so pointedly, um, make, make such a contrasting statement, at least in terms of optics from a u.s. president. >> it is it is so dramatic. um, and just to see, you know, two very close allies be so far apart on this and to your point, have such a contrasting uh, experience and optic just what they're putting out there into the world. i do want to bring in cnn media analyst and media correspondent for axios, sarah fisher, who is joining us now as well. um, sarah, that's kind of where i want to pick up with you is just how all of this is playing out in the media, online. that, of course, is where most people are are reading about this or watching they're watching that oval off

we know hungary, also a nato member, part of the eu and very complex set of relationships. we know countries like turkey, sensible allies, turkey has been a good ally in some ways in nato historically. as well as countries that have a more intense or even hostile relationship with the u.s., and even friendly countries. every foreign national that you deal with is an intelligence risk. their nations all want something from the united states. so in that environment, to have enforcement action where we are trying to cut off in the adams prosecution, establish accountability for an american official. in my judgment, the evidence was quite strong. to see this unraveling where you have ended quid pro quo that are alleged. not only that adams did favors for turkey and the accountability as that is the front end, the basis of the prosecution. then we flip around to the backend where an extremely conservative interim united states attorney, former law clerk, one of the pillars, the idols of the conservative movement in the united states, the republican party the current president pu

trump won, where there was actually some hope, whether it's the biden administration, whether it's the eu who out of covid had had really made a green economy, the agenda. so, i mean, when you were writing it, there was were you hopeful? >> gosh, that's a really good question. i think we were actually, to be honest, slightly fearful. we were fearful of of that. the election may go the way that it eventually did. and we were trying to, i suppose, to, to, to, to contribute to the dialectic of, of a different side of the argument and go, we've got to understand where these people are coming from. we have to understand our opponents. and in the creation of society. so we have to get to what the nub of this argument is. and i think it's something like what trump is offering is a kind of short termism that is attractive and avoids the complexity of the challenge. and we know that we cannot do that any longer, but we have to provide a language to people that persuades them that doing something complicated is better than doing something, than ignoring the problem. and hopefully the play admits to

there have also been calls for an eu u.s. summit over ukraine. what are we expecting?we're expecting president zelenskyy to attend that summit in the uk. he's actually on his way right now. it's being hosted by prime minister keir starmer, who was also at the white house, ingratiated himself to president donald trump, offered a state visit, a letter from the king. and that is what they were hoping that president zelenskyy would do. he didn't do that because he felt he had to stand up for his people. and so these leaders, when they meet in the uk, have to figure out a way to salvage this relationship between the uk, between ukraine and the donald trump administration. even though president zelenskyy did tell fox news that he feels it can still be salvaged. so that's one thing. leaders of germany and france and sweden and denmark and the netherlands, turkey will all be at this meeting. they're hoping to deliver that thing that president zelenskyy was asking for at the white house. those security guarantees from the u.s. in fact, maybe some air cover if there is going to

giorgia meloni, the italian prime minister, and she was the one that suggested we need an immediate eu, u.s. summit to figure out where we all stand and get ourselves on the same page. so i think we'll get overtones of that coming through and playing out through the day tomorrow. >> all right. nic robertson, betsy klein, thanks to you both. all right. joining me right now to talk more about the fallout and the impact of these tense meetings between president trump and ukrainian president zelenskyy. is michael bociurkiw. he is a global affairs analyst and a former spokesperson for the organization for security and cooperation in europe. michael, great to see you. so, um, you know, as nick just reported, i mean, the meeting at ten downing between zelenskyy and starmer was a stark difference, you know, from the one that we saw in the oval office yesterday. zelenskyy received a hero's welcome, if you will, from the prime minister. starmer with a hug and a handshake. your reaction? >> well, um my goodness, what a what a change from a few days. i it was not it was not long ago that mr. starm

still ahead on the eu is calling for a new leader of the free world. and europe is scrambling as we speak to reform alliances after donald trump's dramatic signing with russia over ukraine on friday. through decades of global alliances into question. plus, i'll speak with a journalist who embodies what it means to hold power to account my friend and former colleague jim acosta, about covering a president who's willing to take drastic measures to avoid accountability. and you might have heard that republicans are getting an earful about doge and trump's slash and burn government cuts at local town halls. but you have not yet seen if you haven't seen kansas republican roger marshall's response to a question about doj's impact on veterans. stick around, because veterans. stick around, because it's worth watching.

we saw the chief of foreign policy of the eu thought of the eu saying she thought europe was ready top up to the role because a well needed a new that be the one to step into that challenge. so the question is, whether of this talk from whether all of this talk from all of these these all of these leaders, these warm words for zelensky translating anything more translating into anything more we have seen previously, which we have seen previously. which, ,, , ., but it has sustained a people but it has sustained a walk it hasn't finished it. and certainly on _ walk it hasn't finished it. fific certainly on spending. there's levels a i, to ’,z*—::::: he yew. we is” 2“: point 3 m —;;;!g;;e going quoting the doctors, z: 7455: atte the his??? d bis go aid bode "f; hello. this is a satellite from earlier.

that's of all the european, the 27 eu leaders. keir starmer mayfield wants to go there, otherwise he might see control of this issue and lose the idea of this issue and lose the idea of being this gap between this bridging that gap between the us and europe. so lots to play for. but i think it was yeah fascinating by the questions, the answers which we didn't get from the prime minister there an element of trumpian ness there from the prime from the prime minister nana, he's announced 1.6 billion of export finance to buy 5000 air defence missiles made in belfast, making british jobs for british workers. and thatis jobs for british workers. and that is what he's been saying to us out in washington, dc. he wants to use the money being spent on the defence budget, from the aid budget spent on uk industry creating quality uk jobs. you�*re almost out of the donald trump playbook. >> it will be interesting whether those weapons will be used for ukraine, or whether we might actually keep some for ourselves. our army is quite depleted, so

well, they'd rather have us rejoin the eu, create an eu army.. have a look at how the eu responded last night to some of these. you can see here tweet after tweet of the same exact line. be brave. be strong. be fearless. that�*s not what something i, i would expect from a democratic institution. it's what i�*d expect from an authoritarian nightmare. we should never go back to the eu. we should never rejoin that institution and put our country at risk. i hope keir starmer does the right thing and backs america in this one. >> yeah. well, alex, i couldn't agree more. i i'm not a lot of people are saying hang on, i'm very deeply wedded to the idea of supporting european security and all the rest of it. i do agree with that. i think in a couple of years time, the economy bounces back in russia and they build up munitions and are a stronger threat to european security. i get all of that. of course, europe needs to be doing more on defence, but i don't think that we need to glorify and almost it's he�*s glorify and almost it's he's become like a saint
