heather: kimberly could that be a possible reason, maybe feeling things out?eah, that would better explain it honestly, any republican is usually for the best interest of the american people, if you want to be that guy on the opposite side of history, you want to be against unemployment record low numbers, you want to be against just everything that president obama -- president trump is doing including actually tacking the broken immigration system, you can be that guy, you can have fun on that side of history, i think president trump is doing a great job and if even wants to run for president it's not going to happen. heather: to be fair, what president trump had to say over the weekend, i won't read the whole thing but begins by saying he's not a fan of justin amash and calls him lightweight, if you read the mueller report composed by 18 angry dems who hated trump and goes on from there but he points out no collusion ultimately no obstruction, how do you obstruct when there's no crime, in fact, crimes committed by the other side, your response and we have to

kimberly and shannon here. kelly, bring us up to speed on the latest here. >> this will make wednesday a day to watch here on capitol hill as jerrold nadler holds a mark up. we'll see the members of the judiciary committee debating on this issue of holding the attorney general in contempt of congress. it is a rare and can be a very serious penalty. it is one of the powers of congress to try to compel, compliance with congress' oversight responsibility. not the first time we've seen it. i was here covering capitol hill when attorney holder was also held in contempt and, ultimately, a judge decided to not go forward. this is a misdemeanor federal offense that can have fines and even jailtime in the most serious of cases. we're no where near that yet. that is just to give you a sense of what contempt of congress is. and it is a lever that engineje nadler has to provide more information to congress. the fully unredacted mueller report is what he is seeking. this is not about his testimony, per se. but trying to get

kimberly atkins, kelsey snell, robert costa, jeremy bash. jeremy, again, this announcement from the white house, while it's announced tonight under this headline in the "new york times," "trump gives attorney general sweeping power in review of 2016 campaign inquiry" by maggie haberman and mike schmidt. it appears the a.g. has to follow established norms. does this worry you in any way? >> very much so, brian. and look, let's break this down. what this order, this directive issued by the white house tonight, does is it strips the power of the cia director, the nsa director, and the director of national intelligence from making decisions about what information should remain classified, which intelligence sources should remain protected, and it gives all of that power over to bill barr. now, the power to declassify, which is what now barr has, is also the power to selectively declassify, to let drips and drabs out there, to bolster the president's political narrative. and i think that power in the hands of a political ally of the president, th

hellcat what are you hearing about this decision kimberly. well the u.s. president we know was briefed by the acting defense secretary patrick shanahan as well as his chair of the joint chiefs of staff general joseph dunford on thursday so we had been anticipating that there may be some announcement on the escalation that has been going on now for some time between the united states and iran in the form of the united states sending troops we now know when the president has confirmed just moments ago is on the lawn of the white house where he is set to depart he has made that decision to send at least 1500 troops military resources to the gulf to in his words and that some of the pentagon officials that we have been trying to reach out to that this is to deter iranian threats now in terms of what this will look like because it's obviously a very small number we know that this may be in the form of personnel to man patriot missile. batteries this could also be used these these numbers in terms of intel collection so reconnaissance aircraft for

ruth, kimberly and bill are back as well, kelly, let me start with you.e have such a focus on the congressional democrats and the president, mitch mcconnell, everybody is unified around the president on that issue. but he can't get it, yet republicans on his side on a bunch of other issues, i'd argue him trying to get nafta through, new nafta and obviously the tariff issue is if republicans thought they could get away with criticizing the president in public, they'd be criticizing. >> reporter: you can look at construct grassley with iowa and farmers and the impact that he sees with his famous 99 county tour. you do see a divide there, there are republicans that know the cost of the trade and tariff policies on this white house and are willing to push privately in those conversations to talk about it more publicly. but not setting off a lot of conflict with the white house, but trying to push the president on this. we've seen the president make the argument on the campaign trail that there are farmers who are willing to go through this pain for the ultima

kimberly, i'd like to start with you. when we look back at it, do you think it will be seen as donald trump's version of project head start, the favorite, the boost he got from his new attorney general barr, those weeks of time where barr controlled what we knew and thought about the mueller report and gave the president flat out the air cover he needed. >> i think that's absolutely true. i mean, we saw for more than a year, the president absolutely bar rate the previous attorney general jeff sessions for not protecting him and not acting in the president's interest because he recused himself from this investigation and what we've seen in attorney general barr is the exact opposite. he is really inserted himself into this, not just as the head of the justice department but as a messenger for the president. he made sure that not just before the report was released, he released that controversial four-page letter which characterized parts of the report once we saw the report was clearly contradictory but the day it was rele

with fresh taxes of its own despite president trump warning it not to our white house correspondent kimberly haokip reports. from electronics and appliances clothing and shampoos u.s. consumers are bracing for increased spending on products they use daily as a result of the hike of u.s. duties on chinese goods put in place last week by u.s. president trump our economy has been very powerful then despite the escalating trade tensions transposed to china is hurting and needs to negotiate a new trade deal with the united states we're in a great position right now no matter what we do i think china wants to have it because companies are already announcing that they're leaving china because they can't do that they can't compete but even if trump was downplayed the effects of the trade war and u.s. consumers china had already retaliated escalating the trade war even more raising tariffs on u.s. goods sold in china effective in june from 10 to 25 percent. last friday u.s. china trade talks ended abruptly with the u.s. side arguing discussions had been constructive but not enough for a deal. trump i

how can what the latest there out of washington kimberly thank you madison is live for us in baghdad so you can really just basically summed . the word that is coming out of the white house rob but that seems to not really jibe with what we're hearing at least from a very senior british commander tell us more about these mixed messages. which well that's absolutely right and in the last few hours we've seen what amounts to a very public split or possibly even a spat at the top of the operation inherent result now that is the u.s. led coalition which has been dealing with the threats from eisel both in syria and iraq and of just on to state as i think you may have mentioned major general christopher christopher get made an assessment to journalists of the potential threat from shia groups shia armed groups here in iraq 2 u.s. facilities and foreign facilities and he basically said that there was no increased signs of the threats from those groups a few hours later the u.s. central command which is the central command area which controls military operations by the u.s. in the middle ea

where a white house correspondent kimberly hellcat is standing by but let's 1st go to roslyn jordan and how much of a surprise is this statement by robert mueller because we weren't expecting him to speak publicly and what do you make of what he had to say. well deron it was a surprise that robert muller the now former special counsel investigating russian interference in the 2016 presidential election it was a surprise that he decided to make this public statement to reporters it's not perhaps not a surprise that he did not take any questions because as he did note during his remarks that the justice department and members of congress are negotiating the terms under which he will testify about his investigation what is important to underscore daryn is that near the end of muller's remarks he underscored that he would not go beyond the scope of what is included in the report and we could assume that would include the thousands of pages of supporting evidence that have not been publicly released but is material which theoretically members of congress would be able to access as they conti

kimberly how much skepticism is there in congress regarding iran and any potential threat as the white house is arguing. there is considerable skepticism about the intelligence or sort of the vague arguments that have been made so far with regard to the threat and this is being underscored now a in terms of concerns by the latest comments coming from the acting u.s. defense secretary patrick shanahan who has just told reporters that while the threat with iran remains high in his view the potential for attacks on americans has been put on hold he says that doesn't mean the threats of gone away our response has that we have given the iranians time to recalculate so there is this feeling that the administration may have been overstating the intelligence at least in the eyes of some members of congress that's why they've demanded that briefings on capitol hill be held those are taking place today on tuesday 1st in the house of representatives then in the u.s. senate it will be the acting defense secretary as well as the secretary of state and the chair of the joint chiefs of staff that we

halkett what more you're learning about this additional deployment kimberly. well we have a sense of what it might look like it is going to consist of a patriot battalion to in the words of the acting defense secretary patrick shanahan defend against missile threats there's also going to be a component of the additional teligent surveillance reconnaissance aircraft and then fighter aircraft a squadron if you will for deterrence now the argument being made by the trumpet ministration is this is to safeguard u.s. forces and is a response to an ongoing threat posed by iranian forces including the i r g i r g c and its proxies and this is really notable that this is coming from the acting defense secretary because just days ago he said in fact that the threat against american forces in the region had been put on hold so we're not sure what changed in the last 24 to 48 hours since that statement was made but clearly this is not her escalation if you consider the fact that it was also earlier this month that the united states a ploy that in a rush to ploy meant the

that iran has no pathway for a nuclear weapons system and i speak to a white house correspondent kimberly hocket in washington forest committee it seems the wait and see approach from the americans tell us first about the reactions in washington to these latest developments. yeah well there has been some reaction on capitol hill with some members of congress feeling increasingly concerned by what one put it as the cycle of escalation by the trumpet ministration on the path to war with iran that is contrary to national interests now let's look at some of the actions of the administration in the last year since it's pulled out of the iran nuclear agreement not only choking off all of iran's oil exports but also ratcheting up that maximum pressure campaign it made many here in washington ask the question specifically with the movement of the carrier strike group to the persian gulf on sunday whether or not the united states was on a path to war so that question was put directly to sarah sanders the white house press secretary in the last couple of hours and she answered i hope not the presid

kimberly this is becoming a really big issue so i was like to play i'll do anything. well we know that steve mission the chargers secretary is already missed two deadlines we expect him to miss another one today that's what he said he needed to do or weeks that would be today monday here in the united states in order to give a reason why or why not he would not turn over donald trump's tax returns congress is looking at least this one particular committee looking for six years of tax returns and the white house is arguing look at this is already played out in the u.s. election process donald trump did not turn over his tax returns as a candidate the public elected him to the white house anyway so expect there is going to be another fight not of this in fact donald trump has made it clear that he expects administration officials to fight requests from what he calls the opposition democrats in congress who we should point out are arguing they have a constitutional responsibility for oversight so once again we don't expect that the treasury secretary is going to respect

we'll be speaking to our white house correspondent kimberly how kids in just a minute but 1st this report from ravi on how iranians are coping with all this talk of war. * in iran ramadan is usually a time of spiritual reflection charity and family but for a 2nd here in a row as iranians began a month of fasting there was escalating pressure from the united states. every day they face angry exchanges with american leaders a buildup of u.s. forces on their doorstep warnings to commercial flights in or near iranian airspace and threats from arab neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. in bahrain all that on top of an economy in freefall on the day it's one of these guys that's it will trump or america can do anything you're on is not iraq even though they are strong iran's armed forces will stand against them that's not going to get. the news on myanmar we think military is as strong as the past but it isn't we should never face america directly i'm afraid because we keep saying they can't do anything they finally well and the and the islamic revolutionary guard corps that took to the streets in

hockett who's at the white house for us so kimberly day two of the negotiations between the u.s. and china but the meeting didn't last very long do we know how it went. no we're still trying to get some clarity on exactly where things go from here what we do understand is it appears that the treasury secretary stephen knew ssion is trying to perhaps reassure the markets maybe even reassure the u.s. president according to some of my colleagues i spoke to just a few moments ago we do understand that the treasury secretary steve minutiae is still inside the white house we don't know who he's speaking with could be the president it could be his staff and he is there along with the u.s. trade representative robert lighthouse or light house or so we do know that there is an attempt to try and calm the fears of nervous investors here in the united states and around the world. in saying that the talks were constructive but again you know sometimes actions speak louder than words those talks as you pointed out wrapped up much more quickly than anyone expected right and you say a lot of ne

how kids in washington so kimberly last to talk about their between the two leaders. yeah we know the issues that they discussed but we don't know many of the details white house press secretary sara sander said a readout is forthcoming we've still not received it but donald trump and vladimir putin have spoken at least more than a half dozen times we know this particular call the took place and differing accounts of how long the call was the russian press release seems to indicate it was about ninety minutes long the white house saying it was more than an hour but what there seems to be a lot of interest in is the topic of in this way because of course high tensions there this week between the united states and russia given their warnings to one another not to intervene in the situation that has been unfolding there in recent days as you know the united states is supporting the interim leader one why dole well russia is supporting president nicolas maduro in venezuela and we have heard from the russian foreign minister that those positions are not compatible but that

how could so this was a pentagon plan kimberly that the president had cast doubt on just earlier thisweek now he's singing to a different tune do we know why that is. well we do know that the president is consistently inconsistent but in terms of the specificity on the number of personnel the 1500 it is a far cry from the rumored one 120000 we were hearing about at one point potentially being deployed now we know that in the last 24 hours he did have a briefing with his acting defense secretary patrick shanahan as well as the chair of the joint chiefs of staff that may have something to do with it but i can tell you we do have some more detail now in the statement just released from the pentagon from the acting defense secretary about the troop numbers of the 1500 what that will look like we're told that this will be a patriot battalion to essentially defend against missile threats it also will have an additional sort of intelligence component essentially surveillance reconnaissance aircraft and then we also know that there will be fighter aircraft as well comprised in this military p

harkat kimberly we were expecting the chinese to retaliate of course the u.s. president has already been tweeting this morning how is this announcement by beijing going to be received. it's not going to be received very well already the markets were very nervous and we know that the dow futures have dropped $500.00 points with the news that china has retaliated now the new york stock exchange is set to open within the next half hour and so everyone watching very nervously for that as well but as you have pointed out the u.s. president donald trump was certainly rather prolific on twitter early this morning here in washington with a number of caution for china including the one not to retaliate and it was just moments later that there was the announcement by china that in fact it had raised the tariffs on 60000000000 imports of u.s. goods as you point out june 1st the date when that will go up to 25 percent there seemed to be a sense by donald trump folly that he would be able to continue to try and negotiate that he has a good relationship with chinese presiden

harkat kimberly as we heard there the americans trying to rally around our allies but we heard a strong show of support for iran from the russians what's the reaction in washington. well we've had some reaction from the white house press secretary sara sanders in just the last few moments reporters here in the driveway of the white house asked her very directly is the united states preparing for war and her answer is i hope not the president though stands by his positions in terms of assume she's referring to some of the actions that have been taken since the united states pulled out of the j c p u a or the agreement to limit iran's nuclear program sarah sanders went on to say no one's looking forward to a war i think the reason that we need to sort of underscore all of this is that it's not just allies and around the world where there is concern about this escalation that has been taking place particularly when it comes to u.s. actions towards iran but it's also a concern within the united states well on capitol hill there are many members of congress who support some of what the admin

hockett our white house correspondent kimberly the u.s. ramping up the pressure on iran with these new sanctions how are these moves by the administration which has put as we heard there some of the u.s. allies the europeans in a very difficult position how these moves being viewed in washington. well there is increasing worry in washington and also the recognition that very valuable relationships are being put to the test particularly when it comes to european leaders and also the u.k. given the special relationship between the two you know we saw the u.s. secretary of state trying to downplay the differences between the united states and its allies particularly when he was standing alongside the foreign secretary of the u.k. you know saying that there is no daylight between the two countries when it comes to the threat that's evident but you know he followed where he said there was no daylight between the two by underscoring we hope that the u.k. will stand with us so this shows that the united states recognizes that it is somewhat a. lo

but we have 3 correspondents across this developing story zain is in the iranian capital tehran kimberly how good is outside the white house but 1st let's go to share but he's on capitol hill the seat of the u.s. government senior officials from the ministration have been giving lawmakers and an intelligence briefing behind closed doors on this perceived threat from iran and i think come out of that so far. we haven't got any leaks yes but that briefing for the house was scheduled to begin about half an hour ago that will be followed by a briefing for the senate it's scheduled to begin in about 3 quarters of an hour as you mentioned acting defense secretary patrick shanahan secretary of state chairman of the joint chiefs joseph dunford are giving that briefing no one but it would appear from the intelligence community is that this briefing which has disappointed some members of the democratic party so the last week there was talk of gina housefull director of the cia being part of this briefing that doesn't seem to be the case now some members of democratic party saying they'd rather hav

where a white house correspondent kimberly hulk is standing by but 1st let's go to roslyn jordan.has now walked off into the sunset office saying that charging a sitting president was never an option legally so what will they have to say was. well essentially tara now what robert mueller said was that he had to investigate everything that went to the question of whether russian officials or agents were interfering in the 2016 presidential election and that did include the question of whether persons working for donald trump's presidential campaign had contacts were open to this interference were encouraging this interference and he did note in his 446 page report that there were a least 10 instances where there were questions. about dahl trumps own behavior during that period of the investigation which took about 2 years but as you noted the thoughtful counsel said that because of existing department of justice regulations it would be unconstitutional for him to try to bring charges against a sitting president here's what else robert mueller had to say on thursday if we had caught

kimberly so the house democrats have been pretty angry about what they're being told is the perceived threat from iran who they've been saying yeah there's there's frustration there's confusion and creasing wariness among not just democratic lawmakers but some republicans as well who are trying to get clarity of whether the united states is preparing for some sort of military conflict with iran now there is the concern at all of this that there has not been enough information provided that's why we saw on tuesday members of the trumpet ministration seeking to to calm some of those fears surrounding the escalating tensions particularly in light of the rhetoric that has come from donald trump himself and as that is taking place here on the lot of the white house i spoke with white house press secretary sara sounders to ask her where things currently stand she says that the administration currently believes that the moves by the united states up to this part point are simply to deter 2 iran is aggression not escalate tensions. were as the president has stated he's not looking to go to wa

>>chase is nothing new in la, but that one is special that was kimberly chang reporting for us tonight a lot of people wondering worry about the dogs both were taken to the hospital one had at least a broken leg, but both are going to survive and be okay. police say the chase started when they tried to pull over the driver and the stolen rv but she took off apparently she bought that rv using a stolen identity, uk. while right. >>i was going take a live look outside right now at san francisco's embarcadero you know little wind out there but basically we've got some blue at least for change dad that's the big story when that a little bit of sun not not any rain today is warren says here. >>a lot of people start to look at to the holiday weekend. the unofficial beginning of summer, so yeah, let's get right to a new memorial days actually looking very good right now on you can see a lot of sunshine so yeah if you're headed out on that monday should be a nice day temperatures go into the 50's with some patchy fog of the coast 70's in the valleys near normal temperatures just northwesterly

ok thanks very much kimberly hauck at they're bringing us the latest from washington d.c. lots more still to come here here on al-jazeera putting no room for compromise breaks it talks collapse raising more doubts over to resume a deal. and norway looks to bring both sides in venezuela's crisis together for mediation talks. hello this is something of a wet week into southeastern parts of china and for the same as we go on into the weekend actually lots of clouds still diving down towards hong kong heavy rain certainly on the cards and will see some pretty wet weather there for saturday 31 celsius showers pushing up towards do go on into sunday to become more widespread hong kong perhaps a little dry but the showers never really too far away if the truth be known meanwhile showers continue across parts of india china wanted to showers today eastern areas of india little more cloud up towards the northwest of india northern parts of pakistan spilling out of afghanistan so disturbance just speeding its way through little gradually run over towards nepal south of that with tem

joining me is kimberly atkins and brendan buck. shawna thomas. and philippe reinus.e. quote, bob mueller should not testify. president trump said that in a tweet 48 hours after saying this in the oval office. >> mr. president, should mueller testify? >> i don't know. that's up to our attorney general. >> when the president made that comment, bill barr had already said publicly on multiple occasions that she does not have a problem with mueller testifying. the president's shift in tone comes as a house judiciary source tells nbc news so date is set for mueller to testify before the committee but that talks are ongoing. the senate side, chairman graham has already sent a letter to mueller offering him the opportunity to testify about, quote, any misrepresentation by the attorney general of the substance of a phone call that mueller had with barr about barr's four-page summary of the mueller report. here is barr's description of that phone call. >> i said, bob, what's with the letter? you know? why don't you just pick up the phone and call me if there's an issue? and he

al-jazeera paris well our white house correspondent kimberly hackett joins us live now kimberly in a way the european countries are caught between iran on one side and the u.s. on the other they've always been very clear that in the sara lee agree with donald trump approach to the nuclear deal and the. u.s. government has put a lot of pressure on them but in terms been speaking about iran as we've been mentioning any of this what's he been saying. yeah well certainly here in the united states there is also concern about the relationship with the allies particularly in europe. of some of the more aggressive approaches that have come out of the top administration with respect to iran in recent weeks that in fact there is outright concern among many democrats some republicans that donald trump's approach is pushing the united states on a path to war with iran and behind that is in terms of the architecture of that is the national security advisor john bolton so as the president was here at the white house speaking for another event he was asked about his national security adviser and hi

sara is here and republican strategist kimberly is here. kimberly, what do you think of that? is what psychologists call projection. that's what it is at its finest. i have to give nancy pelosi credit. she's the only official on the left that seems to recognize that the president is the president of the united states. in my opinion, unless jesus christ jumps into this presidential race, i don't think trump has anything to worry about. employers added 263,000 jobs this year. the unemployment rate is lowest as 1960. the only reason you can be unemployed is if you're disabled or you don't want to work. with her comment, he has to win by a large margin, is she signalling something there? what is she saying with this? win by illegal votes? >> neil: she's saying he's going to be a sore loser if he loses. we have no idea. but what do you think, sarah? >> you know, i think speaker pelosi is sharing an important message with democrats. if you would like president trump to leave office, the single best way to do that is to make sure he's handily defeated in november of 2020. what she's

impeachment hearings knowing it could take down trump or help him win support for his reelection kimberly health at al-jazeera the white house japanese electronics maker panasonic says it has stopped some smartphone related business with wall way to comply with u.s. restrictions against the chinese company earlier britain's vodafone announced their own measures to distance themselves from the chinese tech giant while u.k. chip designer arm says it will suspend all ties last week the u.s. blacklisted weiwei citing national security concerns chinese president xi jinping has been touring rare earth minerals factories in china the trip is being seen seen as a message to washington as the next possible front in the china u.s. trade war where earth elements are key to a variety of products including smartphones electric car engines and military equipment it's believed china controls as much as 85 percent of the rare earth sector globally adrian brown has more from beijing. it is not what president xi jinping is saying right now that's interesting it's what he's been doing for the past few days

joins us live now from washington kimberly so the white house has now responded to this palestinian rejection tell us what they've been saying. yeah this is a statement coming from the white house specifically attributed to the white house special representative for international. in the statements quite lengthy the white house seems to be surprised that there is any pushback from the palestinian authority saying that it's difficult to understand why the palestinian authority would reject a workshop designed to radically transform lives and power to a brighter future for the palestinian people the white house goes on to accuse the palestinian authority of deliberately trying to block a path to a brighter future in that history will judge the palestinian authority harshly for passing up this opportunity now the white house goes on to defend what it says is economic proposals.

well let's get the view from the white house with our correspondent kimberly whole kit and kimberly the u.s. has been trying to fit maximum pressure on iran and what if in the last day the reactions of these latest developments. yeah well 8 the latest reaction has come from the u.s. president on twitter where we often get his thoughts very early on in the day here in washington and with regard to iran it is no exception his latest tweet criticizes the media and the coverage of iran thus far he says the fake news media is hurting our country with its fraudulent highly and accurate coverage of iran is poorly sourced it's made up and is dangerous at least iran doesn't know what to think and that may be a good thing well the president just landed here at the white house in the last half hour or so he did not talk to reporters the next time we could see him is in a couple of hours when he makes a speech to real estate executives here in town but certainly we have had reaction from the u.s. state department spokesperson with regard to those reports of iranian oil being unloaded from a tanker

kimberly said venezuela one of the issues the u.s. and russian leaders discussed venezuelan opposition leader one guy i don't know has been talking to reporters in the capital caracas on a sunday. along the venezuela colombia border. so asunder what does what did the opposition leader have to say this time. well. he spoke about a number of things most importantly i think he called his supporters once again to take to the streets this time tomorrow on saturday he's asking them to demonstrate in front of a number of military bases in the capital caracas and across the country he insisted that these are expected to be peaceful demonstration for his supporters to call on soldiers and on their commanders to switch sides essentially to move to the side of the constitution that's the way he put it he said we're not asking them military to decide between us and my daughter about to stand by the constitution that of course meaning that they can see that the opposition can see that. the government of president nicolas maduro as illegitimate so

the road decision 1st kimberly's you see any link between all of the states that have these heartbeat bills wanting them to be nor can you say oh those are the 15 states that want to do this do you see that. i missed all part of your question there too i was something about a commonality among the states exactly that's exactly my question but you said it so much better than i did. so certainly we see a lot of action in states that we would describe as red states states that are more conservative in the united states states that tend to vote for conservative politicians some of those are southern states not all of them are southern states so there's definitely a divide here between what we would call blue states states that tend to vote democratic and states that are red states that vote that tend to vote for conservatives and for republicans for someone on watching right now writes my home state of georgia passed a law like this it's dangerous for women and for a democratic society that's elizabeth rainey on you tube thanks for that comment but another person on twitter says there is

halkett kimberly. president trump's been speaking in the last few minutes of bout china's latest types announcements what did he have to say. yeah well there's been much made about the impact on the american consumer with the sort of retaliatory tariffs that have been put in place by china in the last few hours and for the 1st time we've had reaction from the u.s. president as he sat down with hungry sleeker in the oval office in fact he's downplaying that impact saying that some retaliation by china is fine in this escalating trade dispute he also claims that tens of billions in tariffs are being taken into the coffers now there is some dispute about that in the united states again that the consumer could end up paying a lot of this but overall donald trump says that he loves the position the united states is in right now and says he thinks that everything is working very well now donald trump is also threatened that there could be even more tariffs placed by the united states on chinese goods that wo

to blackmail and we do not trade our political rights for money well i white house correspondent kimberly halkett joins us live now from washington kimberly so the white house has not responded to this palestinian rejection what more they've been saying. yeah a statement coming from the white house special representative for international negotiations jason green blatt saying that the white house essentially find it difficult to understand why the palestinian authority would reject a workshop designed to radically transform lives and a path to a brighter future goes on to say that they have essentially accused the palestinian authority of blocking that brighter future that history will judge the palestinian authority for passing up this opportunity and now they go on to say in the statement that the economic plan in the eyes of the white house is ambitious but achievable has the potential to unlock what they call a prosperous future but at the same time the statement of the very end goes on to acknowledge that really this private sector growth that is expected to create this economic oppo

we'll go live to our white house correspondent kimberly hunt get in washington in just a moment but 1st alan fischer has this report. says a deal was close until the chinese broke it so in came you turn as he believes will lead to a better deal i happen to think that tariffs for a country. a very powerful you know with a piggy bank that everybody steals from including china the white house issued a statement from the president saying hiking tide of some 10 to 25 percent on 250000000000 dollars worth of goods means china piece a lot more money directly into the u.s. treasury but that's not how tired of swak they will drive up prices on their own 6 those and i tunes america imports from china from washing machines to steal from food to fish importers pay the tab of the costs almost always passed on to the customer and all kimmer gets parts for a south carolina bike shop from china he's already added 20 dollars to the cost of a new machine we don't know how he perceived that china is paying for this we're paying for it and it's been passed on to our customers $1.00 tree group says for a fa

kimberly we're not sure there's been any reaction yet from the states to the news of prime minister to resume a stepping down but this does of course come just before president trump is jew to visit the united kingdom a visit that might previously have been cause for process or concern i might seem like a welcome distraction. there's some confusion here in washington perhaps over the calendar we haven't had any official reaction from the white house as of yet to the news of the resignation but we certainly know that there was on the official calendar a scheduled meeting between theresa may and u.s. president donald trump set to take place next month whether that meeting will still take place is unclear the white house has not responded yet to our attempts to try and clarify that but we know that donald trump has been a critic of trieste amazed in the past he last year in fact as he visited the u.k. describe some of these sort of hardline politicians he calls his friends concluding frosh and boris johnson in particular as being his friend even saying that he thought that johnson would m

thank you very much for that kimberly hocket is the white house correspondent in washington man now let's remind everyone about the key details of the iran nuclear agreement which is formally known as you heard as a joint comprehensive plan of action the j p o a the landmark deal was signed in two thousand and fifteen by iran and the five permanent members of the u.n. security council germany and the european union under the agreement tehran severely limited its nuclear enrichment activities and allowed far more intrusive inspections than before in exchange the other parties agreed to nix nuclear related sanctions on iran but that did not include separate u.s. sanctions that were not related to the nuclear program and even before president donald trump old out of the deal last year iran has long complained that washington did not do enough to ease its banking restrictions hillary mann leverett is a former u.s. diplomat and co-author of the book going to tehran why america must accept the islamic republic of iran she says while u.s. national security advisor john bolton has always wa

hoggett so kimberly this was supposed to be a day to lock the talks but they've broken up already. yeah that is the indication that we are getting that there was a meeting that took place we're not exactly sure how long but we assume it happened over a period of hours in the morning but then ended with the chinese delegation leaving now we don't know if this means a breakdown we can't characterize it is that but there had been thought that this would continue much longer it could be possible they went to lunch we're trying to get some clarity on that but in the midst of all of this what we are hearing is the treasury secretary steve minutia in saying that these talks were constructive in terms of the discussions so there is a reason for optimism but at the same time the pictures of the chinese delegation leaving leaves a lot of people answering core asking questions about what is going to happen next because as you alluded to in your intro there donald trump seems to be perhaps even misunderstanding how tariffs work or trying to put a positive spin on the situation sort of intimati

hall kate in washington kimberly quite a lot of early morning tweets from the president today what does this tell us about where the negotiations with china stand and where they're headed. quite a flurry of tweets follow it so there are three takeaways that i think we can get from these number one it appears the president is somewhat frustrated but is trying to put a positive spin on what he knows is a very fragile and delicate situation number two it appears that donald trump doesn't completely understand how tariffs work or is again trying to again put a positive spin on the situation particularly when he says that china would end up bearing the brunt of these tariffs in fact that's not completely true it would be more the american consumer that can see the impacts given the fact that the importers here in the united states would would likely have to pay this in the past that on to the consumer so in that regard is politically risky now in terms of the other takeaway in all of this is that the president believes that there is potentially still time to make a deal but is putting gasoli
