. >>> ivanka trump is shutting down her fashion brand with plans to focus instead on public policy. ivanka retains limited ownership of her business. that limited ownership means it reduces potential ethics violations while she serves as senior adviser to her father, the president, but sources say that given these restrictions, ivanka decided it didn't make sense to keep the company running. she tells cnn in a statement that she doesn't know, quote, when or if i will ever return to the business, but will focus on her work in washington, quote, for the foreseeable future. >> ivanka's brand has been a target for critics of her father's policy since the election. and while profits saw a bump in early 2017, they have since declined. multiple retailers have dropped her brand, citing poor sales, including nordstroms, hudson bay, and t.j. maxx. >>> cnn has learned the white house is no longer releasing summaries of the president's phone calls with world leaders, ending a longstanding practice by republican and democratic administrations, raising concerns that the only narrative on the pres

ivanka trump. >> not here, by the way. >> ron insana joining me again. this is a huge list of chinese goods. we know that americans love cheap stuff. that's why walmart and amazon became two of the most successful companies on the planet. >> although walmart never gets criticized for this anymore. >> it doesn't. walk me through this trade war and who exactly it works for. could this be just a game of chicken? >> we talked about this earlier in the program. i don't know. it doesn't sound like a coherent strategy to me. the issues we have with china have nothing to do with merchandise trade as they do with intellectual property, theft, and forced transfer of companies that do business in china. >> if we wanted to go after something like that, maybe we would participate in tpp, work together with our allies and put pressure on china. we're not doing that. >> and world trade organization with europe, canada and other countries. once the wto would decide in our favor, which, by the way, it has done 90% of the time, we would be allowed to put tariffs on chines

new details this morning about ivanka trump's decision to shut down her name sake fashion label to focus more on her work inside the white house as an assistant to her father. if you thought jared and ivanka were going home, you're wrong. we begin today with a tape that appears to show the president discussing hush money payments with his lawyer just weeks before voters headed to the polls in 2016. i have a great team here to break all of it down. it's a lot. first, i want to play the tape for you. to set the stage, the recording was made secretly in september of 2016. that's two months before the presidential election. it was one month after the national enquirer's publishing company bought the rights to karen mcdougal's story about an extramarital affair she claims to have had with the president. it was bought for 150 grand, a number that comes up in the conversation with trump and cohen. what you will hear is donald trump talking to his attorney, michael cohen, but i want you to listen closely. there is some dispute over what is being said. we will not put words on the screen. i want

that said, the tension remains with jared kushner and ivanka trump. they will be here for a while, i think. all the indications are that they are firmly entlenched in washington, want to be at the president's side, want to be in the white house working there, but they have limited their authority to really their policy areas. for jared kushner, middle east peace and a few other issues. for ivanka trump, focus on work force development, on women's issues and so forth. but they are not these sort of wide-ranging advisors that they were early on, and that's in farther part because of the influence of kelly, who didn't see a need for them to be as involved as they were. >> phil, looking here, you have two by lines already today. i know a busy day for you up there in new jersey. phil ruch, always great to speak with you. >>> be our guest. what to make of vladimir putin's invitation to president trump to visit him in moscow. -we're in a small room. what?! -welcome. -[ gasps ] a bigger room?! -how many of you use car insurance? -oh. -well, what if i showed y
