we are really looking forward to talking to peter navarro.an of the hour, considering what trade is doing for the white house and the world. alix: and as time goes on, the more his voice is made to heard on china, mexico, etc. david: in the meantime, over in europe, we had these continuing commemorations of the 75th anniversary of d-day. there is the president in the background, the queen elizabeth ii in the foreground. that is being salivated by france, the united states, and great britain -- being celebrated by france, the united states, and great britain. alix: in markets, a continuation of the rally yesterday, strongest since january. the dollar index sitting at key levels, the 100 day and 50 day moving average, but now seeing a little bit of strength come back into the dollar market. you're seeing buying on the back end of the curve come but the real action will be in italy and bdp. crude not participating in the equity rally, down by about 1%. president trump has said he wants the fed to consider his trade actions in setting rate policy

want to bring in white house trade advisor peter navarro.'s interesting because president trump gets high marks on the economy but the marks will lower when people are asked about the tactics, so what do you make of these things, because you are perhaps the chief architect, if you will, or advocate of the use of tariffs in these negotiations. >> charles, i think a lot of it has to do with how the question is asked. polls show that about 80% of americans believe there's a crisis at the border. if you ask americans in a poll what do you think about 100,000 illegal aliens moving every day on a conveyor belt from guatemala up to san diego and el paso. i'd say about 90% of them would object to that, and the tariffs that president trump used, he got in two days more than congress did in 20 years on this we've got troops down at the southern border that mexico has deployed. we've got mexico committing to take the asylum seekers on to mexican soil which will deter further immigration from the northern triangle down at the southern border of mexico a

we talked yesterday with peter navarro of the white house.ican government is saying we don't understand what they want that we could deliver to them. >> it's hard to say. the people in the room are coming out with different perspectives. mexicoblem here is that alone cannot solve this problem. we need mexico's help to solve it. we also have to be part of the solution. the originating countries in the northern triangle also have to be part of the solution. what we are suggesting is that both the public sector and the private sector in all of these countries, we all need to get together and to tackle this problem together. this is not a situation where the migration -- mexico's southern border than ours is somehow a benefit to mexico. it is a problem for them also. it is a complicated one and we will not solve the by threatening tariffs. >> let's put this in a larger perspective which is the overall u.s. economy. u.s. chamber of commerce has applauded the president on some of what he has done. how much of that we get back or lose if the tariffs

is now saying they may not need to go into effect but peter navarro is not going to be in the meeting today with the vice president, with ront lighthizer and with the mexican foreign minister. they are tamping down expectations saying they don't expect a big deal but they want u.s. officials to relay how serious the president is about imposing tariffs but at the same time you see officials create space to back off this threat. which is namely that they haven't been able to explain to lawmakers how they would move forward and they've essentially not given any guidelines so mexico could do something and the white house could say that is enough for them to do this. but of course this is all going to come down to president trump and you saw him this morning on twitter touting how -- house republican support in the house, talking about whether or not republicans senators would try to block this move from the president. so sometimes in the face of backlash, the president doubles down and gets defiant. so that is the question here. but ultimately it is up to the president who we should note

>> we were going to expect this but peter navarro was right. er they are both right, tariffs worked. peter is saying right now we have to take advantage of our strong economy to force china to play fair. we have a little bit of a buffer to absorb some of the impact let's say retaliatory tariffs as chinese shown with targeting key areas that are trump, president trump's support base, soybean farmers in the heartland of america. charles: right. >> the more education that happens, the more americans understand what is at stake, what the national security implications are, the more americans are supporting president trump's ultimate agenda, america first, playing with fair, free, and reciprocal trade. charles: chris, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thanks, charles. charles: a new poll finds more americans than ever call immigration our top problem. president trump gave congress two weeks after delaying the nationwide i.c.e. raids? can they pull it off because lawmakers say they're skeptical that they can work together to find the ultimate dea

you talked to peter navarro on our air last hour, jim.ough, the voices that he is hearing in support of this policy behind the scenes talking about it in public, that they believe mexico is just benefiting, benefiting, benefiting from this imbalance on both polishes and that this being tough, being trumpian and doing something that would be perceived as downright crazy by anybody else is the only way to approach this. >> by the way, politically it may really pay off for him. he may go through with this, even though it's bad for the economy. because it's bad for the economy, the fed may cut rates, which is exactly what he wanted. he can sell his political message that i did it, america first. oh, and i got a rate cut and that's going to prop up the economy. >> the mexicans, though, the foreign minister and the pompeo meeting, important meetings to see if they can stave this off. he said he believes there's an 80% chance of reaching a deal. >> maybe there is. you know, the question is, is this a short-term strategy on the part of the presid

tom: we will talk to peter navarro. moving things over to vietnam and trading that way. are they the same leakages for tehran and all of commercially otherr moving over to european entities and avoid sanctions? daniel: that used to be the case. under the iran deal, the u.s. eliminated secondary sanctions. wese are the mystery of what can see the trump administration do. they forced foreign companies to choose between doing business with the u.s. or with iran, but not both. they came into effect in the obama administration. they have only been used twice. you can freeze assets of companies in the u.s., ban them from dealing with the u.s. outright. you can really do some damage to an economy if you find collaborators with iran continuing to support them. that could be the sanctions the administration is talking about today. francine: this is an economy that is crippled already. if you look at the sanctions so far, 1000 entities including banks, individuals, vessels for shipping in energy, and in may we had another wave of

they do not agree with the president on this measure on the other side so we have the hard liner peter navarro saying that he considers this move from u.s. president to donald trump a brilliant so obviously quite different opinions on that and besides that makes it cold now this weekend countermeasures from china actually will go into effect so we certainly opened up a couple of new friends have been also people on wall street are asking what does that all mean for possible kateri of the european union so at this point everything seems to be possible but as we've seen this shop reaction on wall street maybe u.s. president donald trump might reconsider and so that those terrorists mexico might be avoided at the end so the trade tangle getting even more complicated there . for us in new york thank you now the u.s. china trade war the end just mention that's intensifying new chinese counter tariffs on u.s. imports go into effect on saturday targeting 60000000000 dollars worth of goods beijing also says it's creating a blacklist of foreign individuals and companies to ban from supplying chinese fi

that comes off statements from peter navarro, trade visor.go into effect. market back up triple digits. stuart: we'll take that. we got breaking news, on i think the services sector. ashley: yes. stuart: have we got it in yet? ashley: came in 56.9. which was better than the 55.9. we were in a bit of a slide going back since february on the services sector. we hit a 21-month low in april, rather. this is combback for the services sector. this is more encouraging because it had been sliding. stuart: look what is happening in the market. positive statement from mexico's president. positive statement from peter navarro, trade guy. lower interest rates. dow jones industrial average is pretty much close to the high of the day. picking up momentum. up 500 yesterday. now up 140 points. big gains across the board for the stock market. now this. >>> the state visit to britain was a success. a big success. you would not know that if you relied on america's media for the information. we'll deal with that in just a moment but consider this, britain's roya

a his peter navarro right that the people do not know how bad it is? tt: i find myself in the unusual position of agreeing with ted cruz, which i never do. navarro is totally wrong. the public understands what is happening at the border. there is a crisis. understand trump has mishandled this crisis in every possible respect from the minute he took over as president. this is one more in a series of missteps. david: what about the right of center point of view? the president has been committed on this issue from the beginning, and he made it an issue in 2018. is it going to be a winner for the republicans? no.y: it is terribly flawed logic. it immigration is hurting american people, then we will slap them with attacks in the form of a tariff? tariff are taxes on the american people. we will punish them further because immigration is hurting them? it is wrongheaded policy and it is not conservative. this administration has got it wrong on the terror issue. -- on the terror issue -- on the tariff issue. david: in your judgment, will republican senators bac

. >> have you met peter navarro. >> does peter navarro get into the oval office. >> he does. we do. if i -- if he fires me tomorrow and somebody mees what are you most proud of i would say that we've had some of the best debates that i've seen in politics in the oval office in the last six months. whether it's on trade policy, up to and including the mexico thing, our policy on fetal tissue what we did texas v azar, the health care case, a wide variety of opinioning, very articulately argued in the oval office in front of the president of the united states and he knew every signaturesty of all the issues before making the final editions. a lot of times this is a close call. yeah, you're it. what did bush caller the decider in chief. this is what you get paid to do. but the flow of information has been excellent. the quality of information to the president has been good. and i think the proof has been that in the pudding, the stigss have been good themselves. >> mick mulvaney thank you on a busy day for coming buy. >> happy to do it thanks, y'all. >> thank you. >>> join us later toda

joining us now is peter navarro assistant to the president for trade and manufacturing policy. you have been doing, peter, good morning to you. has front and center when it comes to the future of this country, our economy, looking at the stock market today s & p 500 hit an all time high. are the president's policies working? is that what is at play? >> i remember during the campaign we talked about cutting taxes, deregulation, unleashing our energy sector and of course leveling the play field on trade as a way of getting us out of this terrible stagnating 2% growth in the obama and bush years. we've hit over 3%. the president said over 6 million jobs created. i'm most proud of this president because he created manufacturing jobs compared to 200,000 jobs lost in the obama/biden administration. obama said we couldn't bring those manufacturing jobs back unless we have the magic wand >> sandra: joe biden the frontrunner for the democratic ticket now took credit for the strength in the economy because of the obama-era policies. what did you think when you heard that? >> so laugh out

. >> tucker: peter navarro from the white house tonight.tan goolsbee chaired the council of economic advisors tyder president obama, he joins us now. thanks very much for coming on. i'll concede at the outset that it's easy to see how this could wind up slowing the u.s. econom economy. they are a huge trading partner with the united states and the tariffs tend to do that. that's not really the question. the question is is it worth it? is the crisis sufficient that we need to act in our own defense? i would ask you, do you think illegal immigration is a crisis? in this country? >> the first part of your question does not make logical sense to me and maybe you could explain it to me better which is if you take an action which hurts yourself, how is that getting something done on your behalf. >> tucker: it's simple, as the united states is attacked as it has been occasionally over timef >> shooting oneself is not -- >> tucker: the response costs money. there's a great economic cost to war, actual hot wars, there's always an economic cost ofhe

peter navarro, thank you for being with us. >> good evening.ore we start, from the white house and president trump, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of virginia beach at this time of trouble. as he said in his tweet, the federal government will do whatever we can to help them. judge jeanine: they are entitled to our prayers and our thoughts. i want to start the segment on what led to this idea of tariffs on the imports. i understand the president for a time tried a lot of different diplomatic efforts. holding asylum seekers in mexico. he was talking about mexico holding people and not letting them come over the border. monitoring them. now we have the president threatening an escalation of tariffs beginning june 10 with 5% then going to october with up to 25%. how did we get there? >> we have an industry in mexico that's been growing for decade. mexico has been abusing this country for decade with the export of illegal aliens and drugs. you have a conveyer belt from the southern border of mexico up to our border where on any given d

we have peter navarro said that earlier today.ut every time in the trade episode over the last couple years or trade wars you try to predict cooler heads and a more rational outcome, you get disappointed usually ends up with tariffs being imposed and i think that's what we're going to see. i think the president wants to -- we've seen him make the case that chinese are paying for the tariffs. i think he wants to make the case the mexicans are paying for something also, even if it's not true >> yeah. i think tony is right about the president's intent here in terms of putting the tariffs on. the question we have to ask is does the president want to take the tariffs off? because we've been sold this tariff program as a negotiating tactic in the short term to get the chinese and get the mexicans to the table that's very much worked for this president. he has gotten the chinese to engage in dialogue and the mexicans to engage in meetings that piece of it has worked. he hasn't gotten the results he'd like to see it's a work in progress.

of the day,end peter navarro was saying to bloomberg today that urging mexico to do more to rein in migrationt the end of the day will have the desired effect. do you think the action is warranted? peter: look, this has been a long-standing issue and i think it's not unfair to suggest that these governments should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. they should be able to deal with it as a bilateral issue. unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. the white house are leveraging the mexicans through these trade sanctions. that was quite surprising, quite frankly. it happened, ironically, while vice president pence was here in auto wall putting a very rosy picture on the path to ratification and the united states, but it puts the mexicans in a very difficult position. don't forget, this is a three-legged stool. all three countries have to ratify for this to get to that final phase and if mexico and the united states become embroiled in a very difficult issue around migration, the wall, this is one of president trump's signature policies that he has promised to get done before

the white house top trade adviser peter navarro says otherwise. >> the people who say that somehow americanis going to pay for this is not true. the government of china has borne the burden of those tariffs in the form of lower tax revenues and a lower rate of growth. >> so is the american consumer. >> but -- >> no. >> importers pay for it. >> the government of kline and mexico will pay for it and the producers in mexico and china pay for this. >> let's discuss this further with blake houndshell editor in chief of politico magazine and john haltenwiner, with "business insider." >> how do you interpret the insistence that american consumers will not pay for the tariffs. is the general consensus that the american consumer would pay? is the white house not being straight here? >> yeah, peter navarro has always been an outlier by economists which is why he's so beloved by the president, who seems to have a different idea of how economics works than any other economist in the world. the president came out with statements yesterday saying this is going to hit american consumers right in the walle

we have top white house advisor peter navarro will join me in a moment. all that and so much more on "making money". ♪ charles: so the u.s. is weighing options how to respond to the iranian shooting down of an american military drone just two days ago. president trump confirming he called off a retaliatory attack because of the number of expect casualties. he said it was not proportionate to what tehran had done. he also said sanctions against iran are biting and we're adding more last night. blake burman is trying to track all of this. a lot to keep up with, but exactly these sanctions, you know, that the president is referring to, how have they changed? reporter: we're still trying to figure out exactly what the sanctions are, the about the mentioned it in the tweet. however the white house, the treasury department, seem to be a bit caught off-guard about it earlier today. we're trying to figure out, even though they are pointing to this increased surveillance as it receipts to iran and money laundering, treasury secretary steve mnuchin made comment abo

also ahead an advisor to president trump and peter navarro on trade talks. also we will talk about the crisis on our southern border. all that right here right now as we look ahead on "sunday morning futures". we begin this sunday morning with president trump making history as the first sitting american president to set foot in north korea. kim jong-un accepted a last-minute invitation to meet at the dmz, which the president tweeted out just before leaving the g 20 in japan for south korea. both leaders agreed to restart the stalled nuclear talks between washington and pyongyang. >> i believe just looking at this, this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. >> i just want to say that this is my honor. i didn't really expect it. we were in japan for the g 20. we came over and i said hey i'm over here. i want to call up chairman kim, and we got to meet, and stepping across that line was a great honor. a lot of progress has been made. maria: joining me right now on the telephone house minority leader and

here's the president's trade advisor peter navarro. listen. >> we've had the tariffs on for over a year. what we have is record low unemployment for blacks, hispanics and women as well as veterans and the disabled. we have got rising productivity and wages which help people buy stuff at the big box retailers. we have got 6 billion jobs that we created. we've got 6 million people off food stumps knowing the pride of a paycheck. we've got half a million people who have manufacturing jobs when the previous administration lost 200,000 of those jobs. we're hitting on all cylinder. the dow, the s&p are at record highs. we can get to 30,000. those are the things that are going to move markets and help this country. that's what we should be focusing on. david: with our economy going strong, is the white house ready to make a deal next week or will the president hang tough on tariffs? >> i think he will hang tough on tariffs. we saw him doing this with mexico, dealing with the illegal border crossing issue he played tough with them and got them

specifically on what appeared to be one of the main demands from donald trump's trade advisor peter navarroo absorbs all those currently in mexico waiting for asylum claims to be processed in the usa, if mexico observes them into the mexican legal system, we got a leak from mexican authorities saying their position remains not to accept that. mexico holding firm on that demand. those talks were due to have ended by now. it certainly appears talks between the delegations have ended and now the u.s. secretary of state and his mexican counterpart are going to one-on-one talks. we were expecting a press conference. that seems to have been delayed. there are one-on-one talks between mike pompeo and the mexican foreign minister. nbc is reporting an official told them no deal had been reached. i do not think we were expecting any deal. we do expect to have some idea where this goes from here. we have the monday deadline now. donald trump says tariffs will be imposed monday. barbara: thank you. some u.s. senators are trying to block weapons sales to saudi arabia. the united arab emirates and jordan

let's start with peter navarro. he says tariffs may not go into effect once we have the attention of the mexican processes. he says all illegal immigration stopping five days from now -- it's not a possibility. do you think this was an all an erpt threat? does the president have any intention of following through? >> well i don't think it's an empty threat. but it's a very bizarre strategy. let me explain. that this is not about tariffs for an economic deal. this is saying we are using it as a weapon in foreign policy. now, mexico, if they were talking to the u.s. would say, you know, the problems that have created the tremendous flow of refugees are first, you mr. trump, or president trump -- you have kept saying you're going to seal the border pch every time you do that the coyotes advertise and there is a surge. it's now to 150,000 a month because of you. e, mr. president. he is causing it. and they'd also say -- by the way, the instability in central america, in is coming from the dollars that coming from americ

peter navarro suggested mexico tariffsep up before the go into effect on june 10th. >> i would suggest to investors to look athis calmly, look at what we're trying to do. this is actually a brilliant move by the president to get mexico's attention, to get them to help us. >> mexico's president lopez obrador says the u.s. solve problems with taxes and the minister flew to d.c. for negotiations with u.s. officials and key lawmakers on capitol hill were ctical of th move. chuck grassley called it a misuse of authority and one that uld seriously jeopardize passage of the new trade agreement between the u.s., canada and mexico. it could also have broader consequences for uade relationships. >> basically mexico and china compete. when mexico wins, china loses. when china wins, mexico loses and the one that won the most is presidennp xi g. >> it's been tied up in a protracted court battle and aha similarenge could await this order. the u.s. chamber of commerce, lone of theding business groups here in the u.s. has said since finding out abouthese proposed tariffs it has been working non-stop t

[laughter] meet smart and somebody asks what are you most proud of, -- if he fires me tomorrow, and summary asks what are you most proud of, i would say we have some of the best base we have on policies. our policy on fetal tissue, the health care case, a wide variety of opinions there he articulately argued -- the very veryulately -- opinions articulately argued. chief. the decider in this is what you get paid to do. the flow of information has been excellent. the quality of information of the president has been good. the proof has been in the putting. the decisions have been pretty good themselves. >> thank you on a busy day for coming by. e it. appreciat=e thank you. [applause] >> on c-span, the house is back at 10:00 a.m. eastern. members take up a 2020 spending package that covers several federal agencies, including defense, labor, hhs, and the state department. on c-span2, the senate returns for debate and votes on district court nominations in ohio, alabama, florida, and georgi

of course, this after white house trade adviser peter navarro defended the trump administration's tariff action against mexico. take a listen. >> i'm very bullish right now because what president trump has done is to change the game. right now, we are taking a strong measure which will change the mexican calculus in a way aich will actually get solution on our southern border. that's where we need to go to and that is good for the market. that weuite surprising are getting the latest report that there was no agreement, despite the fact that just this week -- yesterday, in fact -- we heard from mexico's foreign minister being pretty optimistic about the chances of getting a deal before the tariffs are limited. an 80% chance, i believe, and a think we will hear from him in half an hour or so. >> that's right. they came into this meeting with washington with a lot of high hopes and a lot of congressional republicans were putting a lot of hopes on this meeting, creating some sort of breakthrough that would halt or at least he lay the tariffs from going into place. the meeting was between the

peter navarro and stephen miller sneak in. even robert ligh lighthizer he s opposed to this, it would upset, threaten the president's deal that replaces nafta. this seems like an incredibly bad idea. kennedy: that is the another legislative push back, from republican senators, that i want to pass the usmca, say they, please don't screw this up. this is a massive generational trade deal, they really could, it not worth it, it does not mean that hillary will be president, it means sometimes bad decisions need to be corrected. we'll see the man panel later on shirtless i promise. >> both policies could lead to global warming with all money they will burn, former vpled off with 5 trillion dollar proposal involves no shortage of april spending -- federal spending but ask sleepy joe. >> we'll invest 1.7 trillion in securing our future by 2050 u.s. will be 100% clean energy economy with netzero emissions. >> that sounds so naughty. how would we pay for a massive program, 3 trillion in private investment and cancels trump tax cuts, wa

we did see trade advisor peter navarro. he went in about 5:30. he didn't take any questions. we don't know if the tariffs of 5% are going to be imposed monday. then there is the conversation around this. there has been a left gop opposition to use tariffs as an immigration tool especially because it might threaten the passage of usmca. chuck grassley said this. >> we'll be very vocal that we think tariffs in this instance are hurting the chances of getting the usmca. and for me that's a very important goal. and goal of this committee. >> the president reaffirmed his position when he was in ireland. the assessment is 5% is a small penalty for mexico to pay if it can't get the southern border under control. we'll update you should we have any more news about what happened here at the white house today or what potentially the foreign secretary said at the embassy. connell: stand by in the briefing room. if this goes through there is the possibility they might block the tariffs. they are said to start at 5%' and go up from there. chuck schumer says he doesn't think it will actual

joining us tonight, peter navarro, director of trade and industrial policy, director of the white houseational trade council. peter, great to have you with us. >> good evening, lou. lou: this is a strong week for the president, for the administration, for the country on trade. the senate, mexico passing the deal overwhelming margin. justin trudeau it appears has come to his senses and understands the importance of getting this deal done. and now we have only one question, really outstanding and that is what does nps think? nancy pelosi think. what does she think, peter. >> this was a promise in between by candidate trump to renegotiate nafta. he's done his job, bringing it to the finish line. lighthizer is working hard on capitol hill to get this on the floor of the house and the senate. if it gets there it's going to pass overwhelmingly in a bipartisan way. and all we need to do now is get what's called the implementing legislation. and lighthizer would love to hear from anybody on capitol hill with any remaining concerns so we can get this ball running. we need to do this summer. it's

john boehner, peter navarro, presidential assistant, director of trade and industrial policy directortional trade council. peter, great to see you. as we just heard from ed lawrence, everybody's digging in. this should be a surprise to no one. the president has made it clear what the policy of this country is. what the consequences will be to china who still is much as and a half trillion dollars of intellectual property and technology and who run almost half trillion dollar trade deficits with us. why would anyone want to perpetuate such a disastrous reality? >> great to see you, lou. the good news here is that this president has done something really remarkable. in two and half years, he has totally changed the narrative on china, there is now a strong bipartisan consensus about the china problem as mr. kudlow called it. and a recent poll just last week the harvard harris poll showed that a strong majority of the country support the china tariffs and 8/10 republicans, and do you know what? china is paying for those tariffs. they paid for those tariffs because they are exporting less

. >> dana: take a listen to people peter navarro on why he says tariffs are necessary. >> it was over reminds people what we are trying nick to negotiate. it's a cyber intrusions over the business networks to steal our's trade secrets. it's the forced technology transfer practices and intellectual property theft that china engages in to the tune of several hundred billion dollars per year. >> dana: wilbur ross that even real shooting wars and with negotiation and this will ultimately end with negotiation whether that will be 10 minutes, ten weeks, or a longer. it's not possible to judge. so i like that the administration is setting the stage that this could take a while. do you think they could hurt the economy? we have a poll showing 20% of americans are very concerned that products will become more expensive and 33% are somewhat worried. >> dana: it was the effect of the tariffs themselves both for consumers but for businesses that use imports as input but also the cost for retaliation as other countries put tariffs on our exports that hurt our farmers and ranchers and others who li

we had booked white house national trade council president peter navarro here on the sew, but the -- on the show, but the white house tells us they did not want to detract from the president's visit to buckingham palace tonight, so they actually retracted navarro from our guest list. and as the white house denies guests, it also allows the national left-wing media to focus on stories like the president's hair, the fake news that he a called meghan markle nasty without response from the white house. those stories dominating the headlines overshadowing judicial watch's discovery of new e-mails between peter strzok and lisa page. those e-mails showing a special treat for hillary clinton's attorney during the fbi investigation of clinton's e-mail server scandal. a lot to go through tonight, and joining us to click them all off, judicial watch president tom fitton. tom, great to have you here. another revelation courtesy of judicial watch and the freedom of information system. tell us what this means, that her attorney was given special access, special treatment without question by the fb

peter navarro earlier tonight on fox news. >> not trying to punish mexico. we want them to solve the problem. numbers coming in go down dramatically. that is what we are looking for and to the point as to who pays for the tariffs, the tariffs weren't going to hurt mexico, they would have no inclination to come to the bargaining table, if the test didn't hurt china they would be negotiated. the fact of the matter is mexico will pay those tariffs. >> mexico's president hit back but not in the way china did. he said mexico will not retaliate against the united states, he just wants a conversation to take place. >> translator: all conflict in bilateral relations must be faced it resolved through dialogue, through communication, the use of coercive measures does not lead to anything good. >> reporter: the white house is hearing from republican colleagues on capital, many of those who normally vote alongside donald trump, chuck grassley, joni or stan pat toomey have come out against the president's plan. the chamber of commerce came out earlier today against this

on the other side of the aisle advocating for the move, peter navarro, mick mulvaney and his top aiden miller pushing the president to make this move. those who opposed the move they had concerns it would negatively affect the stock market. those fears were realized this week. we saw a stock market slide. they had concerns about how the new tariffs would affect the president's renegotiated nafta deal with canada and mexico known as the usmca. those who oppose this move were afraid the path for approval for the trade deal could get more difficult. the proponents of the new tariffs they argued that the migrant situation on the southern border is absolutely out of control. something dramatic had to be done to secure more cooperation from mexico to stem the flow of undocumented immigrants into the u.s. the administration and trump himself have expressed frustration with the fact that mexico isn't doing more to stop the migrants. this also received a chilly reception on capitol hill where even republicans were expressing skepticism. the usmca move needs approval from the democrat controll

. >>> top of mind for the administration and the president's top trade adviser, peter navarro sayingpresident is prepared to back off his threat if he gets the right deal. >> we believe that these tariffs may not have to go into effect precisely because we have the mexicans' attention. >> well, mexico has taken steps to beef up immigration enforcement activities. navarro says the number one demand is for mexico to commit to taking all the asylum seekers and applying mexican laws which he says are much stronger than ours rchts as w ours. >>> according to u.s. customs and border protection, more than 144,000 migrants were apprehended or encountered last month. that is a 32% increase over april. 11,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border illegally. we are in a full blown emergency. >>> there was no deal to stop president trump's threat to put tariffs on all mexican goods: the president said this in ireland. >> needs to step up and if they don't tariffs will go on, and if they go high, the companies are going to move back into the united states. it's very simple. >> but the supply

. >> what is your take that peter navarro has gone on the trip does that change the likely negotiatinghas? does the president have weeks of discussion planning for this sort of meeting, setting off on his flight with a set kind of plan, or does he change moments before he goes into the meeting? >> peter has been a core part of the trade team in the white house throughout he was down in buenos aries where there was a very productive meeting which led to a period of time where we were making progress with china so i wouldn't read into that too much one way or another. i think the u.s. team has been pretty constant throughout all of those advisors were consulted in the weeks leading up to the meeting. i think what may be more interesting is what is china's delegation look like there had been some reports they were bringing in additional hard-liners. i think it's going to be critical here, i think president trump needs to show in front of those hard-liners to president xi that this isn't about keeping china down, but that this is just about making sure that china is treating u.s. companies
