ross: i think it does. if nafta were functioning properly, we wouldn't be having these kinds of prickly, unfortunate developments back-to-back. so in that sense, it shows that if nafta has not worked as well as it should. reporter: why not try to resolve this in a not so public fashion? you are coming into the briefing room, obviously trying to flex the muscles of this administration. what would you say to the layman who asks why president trump is messing with the canadians? mr. ross: we believe the canadians have filed -- violated legitimate practice to the degree we are -- it should be corrected. just like steel dumping from china or any other trade infection. reporter: you are trying to make a public point? mr. ross: we make it publicly all the time. it is just there has been so much general public interest in gendered by the two things, the dairy and lumber, we thought it was good to clarify. [indiscernible] would assume the singler focus would be on mexico and trade. now we are hearing these items rel

ross: thank you for that. howard the french election of that -- [indiscernible] that is such a hypothetical question. i find it very difficult to -- >> what about the macron? sec. ross: let's see who is elected, let's see what actions they take, and then they will be -- we will be in a position to answer that question. scarlet: that was wilbur ross making a surprise appearance at the daily white house press briefing. you can watch sean spicer conduct his rating on bloomberg at tv . of headlines generated by wilbur ross. a couple that suck out to me is this was not a presidential decision. of course, president trump and justin trudeau had met earlier. was not as said it presidential decision, it is a normal decision that has nothing to do with the personal relationship between the two men. he also said that lumber and dairy contentions show that nafta is not working as it should. >> i feel like we have heard needone before, that they to retool nafta and what it means for the u.s. i think the idea that there

ross: they are a matter of negotiation. the objective is to increase our exports to china and to reduce the trade deficit that we have with them. >> would you say there is a recognition by the chinese to make knowledge the trade issue needing to be more balanced? [indiscernible] sec. mnuchin: i don't think it was off message at all. i think they look at, we have very similar economic interests. i think there are areas that they clearly want to work with us. the objective is for us to increase our exports to them, a very big market. there will be more opportunities for both exports as well as investments. sec. ross: what i was going to say was that it was a very wide range of projects we discussed, not a particularly limited one. the most interesting thing to me was they expressed an interest in reducing their net trade balance because of the impact it is having on money supply and inflation. that is the first time i've heard them say that in a bilateral context. >> we were informed that president xi was informed of the mili

ross: we would be willing to do it. where the negotiations broke off, there was quite a gap between what the canadians were agreeable to and what they domestic producers were agreeable to. we would be happy to receive a new proposal from the canadians. if that comes forward and shows real movement, we would be happy to take it up with the american producers. david: there has been an exchange of statements. have you spoken to canadian officials since this announcement? mr. ross: surely. david: has the response been well captured? mr. ross: they have been relatively brief and informative. there have been no new basel's may. -- new proposals made. david: this has to go through more levels of the commerce department and to the international trade department. there is a flash with the announcement. how confident are you that is going to be formalized? mr. ross: i think the work that was done on this culinary finding was quite persuasive -- was quitey finding persuasive. it will have to wend its way through the normal process

ross: we think so, we hope so. we look forward to constructive discussions with the canadians as we get into nafta. >> you don't think they'll take retaliatory actions on the part of canada? mr. ross: that's up to can dark i'm not aware of anything we violated so i'm not sure what they can do. >> what if it were part of the tax reform package? mr. ross: i understand there will be word on the tax reform package from people working on it, it one better to address that question to them. >> 3% g.d.p. growth is that fair assessment? is that realistic? mr. ross: i would hope that the growth over time could get to be better than that. president obama is the only president in many, many, many that didn't have at least one year of 3% growth. and with all the initiatives that we're doing, the regulatory reform, the trade reform, the tax reform, hopefully, and unleashing energy, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to at least hit that if not beat t. cars to the ping united states? mr. ross: i used that as a figure of speec

secretary ross and i will be leaving that jointly. we will be focused on trade, investment, and other economic opportunities between both companies -- countries, excuse me. we focused specifically on a more balanced economic relationship, specifically on trade. we focused on the desire to have , bothpecific action items of the short term for the next time we get together, as well as what the goals are over the years. we think the restructuring of the dialogue and having a breakout that will address comprehensive economic opportunities across our different agencies both here and within china, i think we felt was very productive, i very good start to how we are going to structure it, and very specific things we talked about to look forward on making progress in the short term. secretary ross. you i'm a thank stephen. in many ways, the most a 100 dayt thing was plan. normally trade discussions between china and ourselves are denominated in multiple years. this was denominated in the first 100 days with hopefully weigh stations of accompl

secretary ross. sec. ross: thank you. in many ways, the most significant thing was a 100 day plan. normally trade discussions, especially between china and ourselves, are denominated in multiple years. this has been denominated in the first instance with 100 days, with hopefully weigh stations of accomplishments along the ways. given the range of issues and the magnitude, that may be ambitious, but it is a very big seachange in the pace of discussions, and i think that is a very, very important symbolization of the growing rapport between the two countries. we will take a few questions. >> i want to ask about north korea. the president said he might use trade against china if they cannot rein in north korea. did they get specific commitments from china to do something about the north korean problem. sec. tillerson: the presidents discussions around north korea were wide-ranging and comprehensive, and more focused entirely on both countries' previous commitments to dean nuclear rise the peninsula. there was no kind of package arrangements to discuss and resolve this. president xi fr

in it he compared the intelligence of club footballer ross barkley to that of a gorilla.has called for the newspaper to sack him for making what he called "racial slurs". mr mackenzie — who denies the article was made racist comments — has been suspended by the sun. richard galpin reports. the controversial article published yesterday in the sun has now led to kelvin mackenzie being suspended. the piece about the everton footballer ross barkley, whose grandfather was born in nigeria, compared him to a gorilla, and said the only other people in liverpool earning as much money as ross barkley were drug dealers. the comments, i believe were overtly racist. it showed a picture of ross barkley with a gorilla, knowing full well ross‘s heritage and his nigerian ancestry in terms of his grandad. i think it was a despicable comment. kelvin mackenzie and the newspaper must see if the police will take the matter further. in a statement, the sun's publisher said it apologises for the offence caused, and it was unaware of ross barkley‘s heritage. there was never any slur intended. mr

what he said about ross barkley i think is shocking, so i think it's only right.cribed the people of liverpool and they should be ashamed. his article should be proof—read anyway by the editors, so for them to let that go to press, i think it's quite poor. many will question why the paper, which he edited for many years, allowed the column to be published. the sun knew enough to make sure that mackenzie didn't refer to liverpool, especially on the anniversary of the hillsborough disaster. so it was a gross editorial oversight. arriving here this morning, fans said they were angry and disappointed at the article. following the club's announcement to ban the sun, those feelings have somewhat subsided this evening, but many say that the decision is long overdue. it's understood rupert murdoch will be consulted before a decision is made about mr mackenzie's future which may depend on a police investigation. strike action over funding pressure in england's schools has been backed by the national union of teachers. the nut voted on the measure at its annual spring confe

i don't know why wilbur ross is there. but wilbur ross does appear to have no idea what was going on around him at that moment. i have a little bit of tape to play for you. this is not on camera. it's just audio. a reporter asked the commerce secretary, wilbur ross, today what it was like to be right there with the president to be in that makeshift mar-a-lago situation room in this key moment and asked him what he thought of what he witnessed. we know from the photo that wilbur ross, he definitely was there. he was right there, right in the middle of it. he's making clear that -- he seems to have misunderstood some details about what was going on around him in that moment. listen. >> in terms of the strikes themselves, it's my understanding that they took out something like 20% of the entire syrian air force. so it was huge not just in terms of number of planes, but relative to the scale of their air force. >> commerce secretary wilbur ross under the impression that 20% of the entire syrian air force was destroyed last nig

what he said about ross

a good day for him after a difficult week, for ross barkley.at quality, scoring the 2—1 was an important goal in the game. the boy was focused on the football side. and not about all the stuff that came out after last sunday. it is a big compliment to still a young boy by everton. we got punished with a bubbly first one bouncing off everyone, a bubbly second and then a good goal from a top striker in real form. frustrating but a much better performance on the road, it suggests that we will get there in the end, we have to, of course. what does that mean for the table? manchester city have taken the lead through vincent kompa ny. bad city have taken the lead through vincent kompany. bad result isn't on the table at the moment because the game isn't finished. let's look at the bottom of the table. bournemouth are moving a little closer to trouble but you would think that sunderland and middlesbrough are deepin sunderland and middlesbrough are deep in it and swansea and hull still competing for that final place. i think it is a shoot out between t
