want to have to pay the steel and aluminum tariffs so we are to go sharing with various countries mr light has or mr ross. we are just starting a negotiation with the european union because they really shut out our country to a large extent they have barriers that they can trade with us but we can't trade with them they're very strong barriers have very high tariffs we don't it's just not fair nafta has been a very bad deal for the united states but will make it better or we'll have to do something else. the deal we have with south korea is a very one sided deal it's a deal that has to be changed so we have a lot of things happening but in particular with china we're going to be doing a section three zero one trade action it could be about sixty billion dollars but that's really just a fraction of what we're talking about. i've been speaking with the highest chinese representatives including the president and i've asked them to reduce the trade deficit immediately by one hundred billion dollars it's a lot so that would be anywhere from twenty five percent depending on the way you figure to

mr. light heiser has an extensive background.e we can keep this team together and bring these nafta talks to fruition. shery: you've joined over 100 house republicans in a letter to president trump to stop these tariffs on unfair trading partners but also expect concerned about him american minute fracturing. -- american manufacturing. what would your recommendation be here? rep. rice: we have tremendous momentum with tax reform. business confidence at all-time highs, stock market at all-time highs. we done a lot of good work in regulatory reform. i want to build on that momentum with trade. we need to bring these nafta negotiations to a prompt end so that people will have confidence and stability in trade. the tariffs are clearly for bad actors. those bad actors have cost american jobs, they've cost our american middle class. that that make sure is responded to forcefully. the president has proposed more targeted -- we don't need to penalize our friends and allies who are acting responsibly. david: what are you hearing from your

>> is a 200 page document that has been put together by mr. lightard that spells out the unfairness that it should be corrected -- by robert lighthizer. there have been discussions through many administrations on these issues. funding is pretty clear. i've talked about some of them, certainly the lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights. the fact that they don't have transparency. oecd rates china as the least transparent of all of the g20 countries. these are the kind of things that need to change. he asked about oil and gas. with that possibly that might be in the mix. you pressuring the chinese to import more oil and gas? what amounts and timeframe are we looking at? lena: president trump visited for, there were mou's sign major deals on liquid natural that from alaska and from other places as well. they a big pollution problem here. we can help improve the air quality for the chinese through that. another area is ethanol. in tvrica we eliminated years ago because it pollutes the groundwater, and there are still using it here in china.

mr. president and the first lady, have not yet laid an egg this spring. [ light laughter ] though they haven't really been getting along since mr. president had that affair with storky daniels.

i think mr. lightall of the people in the trump administration certainly have their role in shaping the policy. i think with the president, it is sometimes unclear who has his ear the most on a given day. he has said he likes a lot of differing views in his inner circle and he seems to reinforce of that as he makes staff changes. and i think that is part of the uncertainty in this whole process, you never know who is going to go to the top on any given day. toia: i think it is great have you on the show, but we need to talk about the rallies we have seen from young adults around the united states over the weekend and the prospects of action over gun control. do you expect any stands to be taken, whether it is the republicans or democrats, and does it move the dial as far as midterms are concerned? policy pointe what we have seen will happen has already happened. i think what was passed last week addressed in a small way some of the gun regulations, or opened the possibility to study gun violence in the

but the comment provided by the russian ambassador in washington, mr antonov, sheds a light on a possiblem moscow. so, he said that this story teaches moscow only one thing, that washington only respects strength. and this suggests that the response from moscow will be quite harsh. so we've had the view from the eu and from russia. let's get more from the us. one interesting detail — a russian consulate in seattle will be shut. the russian embassy in washington responded by asking its followers which us consulate should close in response. i haven't checked which one people have gone for, but there have been over 15,000 votes. 0ne do the russians have a consulate in seattle thatis russians have a consulate in seattle that is of interest to both sides, here is chris buckler to explain. it's basically close to a submarine base in the us. it's also close to boeing aerospace. and those two places, which america does not want a russian consulate close to. and that seems to be because they are very concerned about those inside america who are intelligence gathering, who are involved, as far as t

mr. emanuel. in light of the i.g.'s findings so far, the board has already vacated its decision to overturn the obama administration era ruling on the joint employment standard. the general counselor peter rob is proposing a drastic reorganization of the nlrb, including taking power away from career nonpartisan regional directors and increasing the burden on workers to bring a case before the board. these decisions are exactly the kinds of changes designed to advantage corporate special interests at the expense of workers' rights, bargaining power and economic security. democrats are committed to shining a spotlight on them and doing everything we can to make sure workers and families know what's going on. given all this, the last minute 11th hour decisions to disempower workers, the proposals to re-organize the board's operation in favor of big corporations and the conflicts of interest already identified by the inspector general, it's clear the last thing our nation's labor board needs is another champion for those a

mr. nunberg has light to shed on what the president knew before the trump tower meeting, we would be interested in finding out. >> that is an interesting point. you know, we never know -- we never found out -- he did hype up this big meeting about all -- this big speech about hillary clinton's misdeeds and then the speech never happened. now, it could be just that the chaos of the trump campaign the speech didn't happen. but the timing does suggest that the failure of the trump tower meeting to produce incriminating information may have had something to do with it. sam nunberg didn't work for the campaign at that time. so how he would know that is hard to fathom. >> that's why it's arguably a bank shot to stone. stone is not working with the campaign either but a long-standing relationship is a stock and trade, one of the more colorful people on the fringes of politics. that is clearly sort of the larger game. does he have evidence? does he have communications with stone that maybe shed light on the larger questions. >> look, my interest in this guy is that let's assume he knows nothing about a
