lighthizer and the g-7 -- these topics about the future of the global economy, the future of supply chains to be hugely important for all of us. but there's a conversation we can have together, at the same time, strategic priorities that countries will adopt to keep trade flowing. it's important to not turn inwards. if we have necessary trade barriers that are put in place in order to deal with the immediacy of the crisis, then we would urge those to be temporary and transparent and to have an overall view about keeping trade flowing, keeping the supply chains going. i don't deny at all that we will need to have these conversations and learn lessons from what we are going through. we will also continue supporting our domestic economies to help companies and sectors through the immediate impact of this crisis. but if we can do all of that within an overall framework, democracies working together, setting the rules for the future system that will keep allowing us to create jobs, growth, and prosperity for our citizens, that has to be the way forward, in our view. vonnie: thank you, antony ph

now rights about the g 7, i'm considering rescheduling the g 7 on the same or similar date in washingtonc. at camp david. the other members are also beginning their comeback it would be a great sign to all normalization. this was scheduled for june 10th through 12th that's a few weeks away. in march the white house said they would move to a video conference, maybe backtracking on that? >> that would be something if they were able to get other countries involved to come as soon as june, but the data continues to slowly look better. not just in the united states but around the world i saw somewhere that looking at some of the european countries that have reopened, the transmission rate is lower so we have to see. it's still early, but obviously that's a positive sign is all the international gatherings have been shut down. it's hard to know. so much could happen in the next month. >> yep let's get a virus update with sue herera at hq >> hello good morning here's what we know at this hour likely voters in swing states have sharply different views on the pandemic a new cnbc change research p

can you picture donald trump dancing with any world leader in the g-7? here's the thing about donald trump, interesting factoid. he has vetoed a total of seven bills in office. four of them, the majority were to protect arms deals to saudis that allowed them to continue prosecuting a ghastly war in yemen that has killed 100,000 people and basically no one in congress supports anymore. some of trump's most disgusting actions have been when he vouchs for the saudi crown prince even after the cia said he had his henchmen murder and hack to pieces a newspaper columnist. secretary of state mike pompeo is a part of this whole thing, too. here is mike pompeo grinning. the crown prince and saudi king after jamal khashoggi was murdered. here is pompeo's response when he was asked about u.s. relations with saudi arabia following the furd of khashoggi. >> though it's a mean nasty world out there. but the middle east, in particular, there are important american interests to keep the american people safe, to protect americans. >> oh, it's a mean, nasty world out ther

g 7 next month. now, this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.ause we've seen china hawks in the administration and the hill ratchet up pressure on china and this is causing unease among my source, business people who run businesses. in the u.s. and china for example, congress moved to make the senate -- moved to make it more difficult for chinese companies to list in the u.s. just last night they listed 24 chinese companies to their export control list, making it more difficult to acquire u.s. technology. but what is different is trump's tone in all of this because he was touting his friendship with president xi jinping a couple of days ago. and now he's pivoting and blaming china for the coronavirus pandemic. because he sees it as politically expedeiant for his re-election. >> thanks for your terrific reporting. appreciate it. >>> so, has the coronavirus done what nobody else could do? as recently as january, they appear ood be prioritizing good relations with beijing to preserve the phase one trade deal. but now given the gross mishand olg of

morning from national security adviser robert o'brien who expects it will be safe enough to host a g-7 meeting here in washington and at the white house one month from now. that's significant given, again, we don't know when washington when meet its peak, alicia. >> at the same time all of this happening, the trump campaign is flying keep america great banners on beaches over the weekend. that is strategy there. >> reporter: the re-election campaign trying to encourage americans to feel a sense of normalcy returning and all of that ahead of this re-election campaign they are waging five months from now to november. what's significant as we see the campaign continually echoing what the president is saying, which is that the cure cannot be worse than the disease. that is what they're trying to do at these crowded beaches where we've seen so many inches all day on msnbc of people not necessarily socially distancing, not necessarily wearing face coverings. but the campaign is hoping that as they look up at these people who are there on the beaches, they will see this message and that may a
