mca, and then look what happened in mexico. one of the requirements the democrats have had is that they change their labor laws. well that has passed the senate in mexico, so now there's nothing holding us back to pass the bill that would bring more jobs to america, and the timing could not be more perfect. it will only make us stronger in this battle with china, where china doesn't want to have a fair trade agreement, but it would unite americas and that is something that would be much stronger in this debate going forward, make america stronger, make our economy even bigger and create they're talking about more than 200,000 new jobs so there's only one person holding this up, the speaker, nancy pelosi can call up that vote and it will pass. maria: well that's the thing hasn't she said she's not bringing it to the floor right now. are you expecting the u.s. mca to come to the floor for a vote so it can pass? >> i want it to come to the floor because it will pass, and the requirements the democrats have asked for have now been

the m cas syste m the 737 max flies again that the mcas system and the inputs that make the mcas systemway the mcas system activate are refined in a way that makes the aircraft as safe as possible. so, what went wrong? there were planes that crashed that were authorised to fly. something went wrong. where did it go wrong? these are active investigations. it would be inappropriate for me because the question of what went wrong is in effect the culmination of a lot of work and a lot of work that still needs to be done. all we can do is look at the interim reports which we have with great detail and those interim reports have established to us interim reports have established to us the link that between the ethiopian and lion air accidents and the faa with boeing and with operators and with the international community, it is why here today, are examining the link, we will mitigate that link and we will do a safety analysis to allow the 737 max to fly again. in hindsight do you think the faa should have grounded the 737 max plans faa should have grounded the 737 max pla ns after faa should

mca. the markets like that and they say the president is really going to focus on china and take that on and be really solid about it and fix some of the other problems we're having with our trade issues and then you go and threaten to potentially put this tariff on, which would impact a lot of the same goods. that's why the autos were down today because of steel and aluminum, so the market was down substantially today it was the worst may that we've had since 2010, it was a bad month. you saw the nasdac down 8% the dow is down 6.5% and investors right now running to safety. you see the yield on the 10 year note going lower lower lower the question is when is it going to stop and a lot of investors are saying if it continues to stay at a point where we have a yield curve inversion, that's what triggers a recession. david: so jackie, here is my problem with your analysis. >> you're being too darn rational and thank you for that because i'm saying like i agree with your assessment completely

mca is dead? they said look, it's too soon to say that. their hope is this is going to be resolved before the summer months that mexico will crack down on those who are crossing the the border and that they'll be able to move forward with the u.s. mca, but to put this in a broader context, the administration really feels as though the president has a shot at getting one piece of legislation passed at best. so are they giving up on that piece of legislation as the president heads into what is undoubtedly going to be a bruising 2020 election. >> let's talk dollars and cents here, because we import more than $370 billion worth of goods from mexico and export just under $300 billion in goods and services to mexico. so you've got vehicles like cars and trucks, they're the largest single group of imparts. some $93 billion worth flow thing over the border. those are awfully big numbers but what does this mean to the average american? what's this going to cost us? >> well, maybe not that much in the near term, jeff, because there is the question o

. >> what were the steps the faa took in reviewing the mcas system and the accompanying training?> i can assure you that the mcas system was examined and certified. >> reporter: investigators believe that ewmcas anti-stall system was connected to two crashes, one in indonesia last october and another in ethiopia in march. killing we are absolutely convincehe safety return to service than we'll do it. >> reporter: 24-year-old samia stuma was killed in ethiopia. her parents were there today. >> how could you possibly finish the required analysis by august? >> you don't think this plane should be back in the air any time soon? >> no, because we don't have the information about it. >> reporter: cbs news obtained audio of american airlines pilotings complaining to a boeing official earlier last year that even they weren't informed of the jet's new systems. >> somebody at the corporate level made the decision it wasn't important for our pilots to know. people who fly the airplanes for us. >>repo that a bird strike sparked the chain of events that brought down the ethiopian event, but et

situation with the 737 max mcas is the control system within the airplane which pushes the nose down that a number of pilots, including pilots for american airlines in audiotape that has just come out over the last couple of days, they said, we didn't even know this was on there. so if we didn't know about it, why did the faa not more effectively scrutinize this important component within the 737 max? so, that's going to be the key focus today as well as whether or not we get any indication about when we might see a recertification flight from boeing they have indicated that might happen perhaps before the end of the month. take a look at shares of boeing, keep in mind, we're going to hear from the head of the faa and the head of the ntsb, the inspector general will probably talk about what documents or notes they have regarding this process. but you will not hear from boeing executives. and increasingly, guys, this is the drumbeat we're hearing from lawmakers in washington. where is boeing on all of this where are the executives publicly coming out, aside from the prepared remarks,

. >> the acting homeland security secretary kevin mca lienen was asked about the homeland security priorities. he testified about

been reports that boeing rushed the plane to market to fast and that it knew of problems with the mcasfore the first plane crash. in an interview with cbs, boeing's ceo said the company remains committed to safety. we can't change what happened in these accidents but we can be absolutely resolute in what we are going to do in safety doing —— going forward. we apologise to the families affected, and more broadly to the travelling public. confidence has been affected. for people who are scared. we have impacted our customers, we regret that as well. so we are stepping up, we are taking responsibility, we know we have improvements we can make and we will make those improvements. we are committed to safety for the long run. the primary focus for boeing is getting the 737 max fleet approved for takeoff. the real test will be if the flying public ever feels safe on those planes again. let's have a look at the markets, and asian stocks are headed lower in mid—morning trade as investors continue to worry about the impact ofa continue to worry about the impact of a prolonged us— china trade war

mca, whether it gets ratified? >> that's striking about all this. on the same day the president submitted a language to congress that is designed to set the clock in motion to force the house to vote on his revised, updated nafta, after the speaker nancy pelosi signaled clearly that democrats want more time to consider it. this does kind of make a mockery of the whole idea of a free trade agreement between the three countries. when you say you are going to use tariffs as a way of putting pressure on mexico, for an issue that is unrelated to trade, the obvious question, is this is going to put anxiety on the supporters of free trade and the mexican government, who has gone out of the way to avoid conflict with trump. >> we saw the president do something today that he's not done before. president trump admitting on twitter that russia helped him get elected and attempting to walk it back not even an hour after that. this is the first time we've ever seen him do so. >> it was remarkable. it gave the suggest that it was a tweet sent in rage more than an

i said to be worried about the potential wider economic impact and what this could mean for the us mcatween canada, america and mexico. as president trump was finalising his plans, the us vice president mike pence was north of america's other border to discuss that agreement with the print —— canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. that it has to still be ratified between the two countries and this tariffs could put that in doubt. certainly mexican officials are warning that they will retaliate and that will surely cross tensions again. this surprise move by president trump has rattled investors — big concerns in particular about asian firms who manufacture in mexico for the us market. rico hizon is looking at this for us in singapore. president trump has turned market sentiment upside down. investors are faring president trump's shock move to slap truck —— tariffs to mexico risks tipping the us and the rest of the world into a recession. it is a precursor to wall street's opening and it is in negative territory. the us imposing new tariffs on all imports from mexico next month is hurti

mca investment securities it provides the investment community, north america can can can you to be thengine of growth for economies all over the world. furthermore, with a strong usmca we can become, north america can be, the most competitive region in the world. this is a historic moment for the mandate for social progress and inclusive growth that president lopez is to fulfill. secretary, we are honored to have the with us today to convey how mexico is leveraging its foreign policies to achieve its promises of a better and stronger mexico. i know you travel all the time because you are always in the air. pleaseand gentlemen, join me in welcoming the secretary of foreign affairs of mexico. [applause] >> thank you very much. the opportunity to share with you ideas about mexico and the future of our country and the relationship with the united states, canada, and the countries of the hemisphere. mexico is being governed by the left. think that our our program would extend, accelerate ant, increase taxes, or make atmosphere of hostility about businesses, private sector, or non-north amer

it was taking information from a database called the mca 21. a range of companies.cted by the government itself and they couldn't find thousands of the company listed. even assuming one third of the companies, i think that had a serious implication for the gdp estimation. i agree that the agreement ofan the gdp estimation. i agree that the agreement of an overestimation but not to the extent of the fact that the growth numbers. some economists have questioned how india is growing at this rate. example, according to elected government report. unemployment is at a 45 year high. this dumb —— number does not square with the high gdp number touted by the government. the economist says there is nothing wrong with this new number. the current methodology is much more than it was in the past. the government says the changes are not affected growth data and the jobs report was not conclusive. for its part, the government has announced that it will change how its statistics department works. it is not clear to clear whether that will be enough to silence the controversies sur

again, nobody has said specifically mcas is 100% responsible.s. guys, what stands out there, the tonality of the comments from the safety -- the head of safety for the americans union, the pilots for american airlines i mean, it's clear, they were worried way back in november, and boeing continued to say, look, we think that the system is okay. >> yeah. phil, stick around joining us now, jeffrey sonnenfeld, yale school of management senior dean for leadership studies and president for the executive leader institute and cnbc contributor always great to speak with you you say this company, boeing, is headed for an existential threat what can be done at this point seems like every day there's another story that comes out that either puts into question the company's board, the company's management, and even its own, you know, safety regulators within the company. >> i think that's actually right, melissa analysts have been reassuring us that this can't be a long-term threat to the company. i'd like to believe that myself. i have faith in the managem

faa is likely to face questions over how it approved boeing's newest aircraft, along with the new mcas anti—stall system implicated in the two crashes. also why it dragged its feet in grounding the aircraft, and whether it's too close to boeing. there are doubts over how quickly foreign regulators, notably the chinese, will allow the 737 to return to their skies. the us and china are embroiled in a bitter trade dispute. on wednesday, china's three biggest airlines joined united airlines, turkish, ryanair and others in asking boeing for compensation for losses caused by the 737 max grounding. a meeting of airlines is also being held today in montreal, canada, convened by the international air transport association. of its 290 airline members, 28 have the 737 in their fleets or have it on order. alex macheras, an aviation analyst joins me now. first of all, some difficult questions for the faa to answer in terms of what it knew about boeing and what it did about the boeing maxed before those incidents happened? maxed before those incidents happened 7 absolutely, maxed before those incide

mca, there is no kind of trump trade agenda. i think he was exaggerating a little bit. but in any case, they see that as one of, one of the big pillars. there is that sort of just imagine a world where it doesn't get past. there is no trade deal with china. there is no deal with japan. and then the whole trump trade agenda falls apart. it's a bit too early to come to that conclusion. especially since we don't quite know if nancy pelosi has made a real political decision at this point to turn this into a massive fight or whether they are just going to find a way to make it work. >>> one little comment on that, i think pelosi is in a strong position on this one. of course she left the mta, trump talks about [inaudible] have added. with his locations in the problems are all the republicans fault. it's a pretty good position for her. thank you very much. i have two questions. first is what is the current status of the [inaudible]. we know that the u.s. and china will have another two rounds of talks, what other remaining lingering issues, the second one is it has been repor

the focus has been on the automated system called mcas which pushes the nose of the plane down but now activitying chief tells lawmakers that the data shows pilots made mistakes on both flights. on the ethiopian crash the pilots never controlled the airspeed and in the lion crash they didn't use an emergency checklist. one republican lawmaker who is also a pilot was alarmed. >> when you're in the car and speeding towards a brick wall full speed, you're going to take your foot off the gas. that is what most people would do. but they accelerated right through. i hate to disparage another country and what their pilot training is, but that is what scares me in all of this. is climbing on an aircraft or an airline that is outside of u.s. jurisdiction. >> nearly every lawmaker paid condolences to one couple, the parents of sam stummo who was a passenger on the airliner and her family is suing the airline boeing and the supplier of the mcas center and her mother joins me now. so thank you so much for being with me. and i she what you are holding up. tell me what that signifies? >> yes, we hav

absolutely determined to work with rank and file in the congress and the leadership to move the us mcaariffs could put that in doubt. certainly mexican officials are warning that they will retaliate and that is sure to test cross—border relationships once again. we are going to get more on this now and joining me from mexico city is the bloomberg managing editorfor economics and government in latin america. thank you forjoining us. just looking at that report, just for those of us that don‘t exactly understand how this works, let‘s look at the manufacturing industry which donald trump is targeting in mexico. as i understand that looking at that report, we are notjust talking about a complete car coming over the border and there is a 5% tariff on it, we are talking about parts of a car that crossed the border several times so there is a tariff every time because it is made in both countries. exactly, chris, and that is what makes this a threat even more dangerous for mexico because to make cars, sometimes these parts need to go over the border three, four or five times and we need to kn
