the first one out of the gate is the usmca. i think the idea that tariffs are going to be lifted before ratification is done is going to be a bit problematic and what i would ask and hope of our negotiators and president/prime ministers is simply to have agreement among the leaders that upon ratification, the tariffs will be repealed. that it with be coincidence. canada is in an election cycle this year and this thing will be problematic if it's not done soon. let it be coincidence as opposed to chicken and egg, that will remove any concern for trust or what have you. i think it can be done. it needs to be done. >> for the three gentlemen, let's also segue into the usmca and how valuable that agreement is in terms of the high standard digital trade, customs modernizations provision in there. talk about the tariff question and some of the weight its placed on some of the trade flows but also the opportunities that exist with the usmca in particular in terms of opportunities for growth. maybe you could touch on each of those. we'

usmca. stepping back a bit i know we dough don't know kmkt where democrats go on. but the bigger picture that's come up is are democrats willing to approve this deal and -- by doing so give president trump a win? or is the -- is the prospect of their potentially not being a nafta if the president were to say, pull us out of the existing agreement? is that enough of a cudgel, if you will, to get democrats to take a vote on this that may end up playing well for the president in 2020. >> it's a great question. i do think that what we have seen so far is the threat of the withdrawal from nafta in itself, cudgel is the right word. again, it goes back to the way the president weaponized trade as opposed to soft power. it's hard power. it's become harsh power, threatening to mexico, certainly threatening to our canadian friends as well. and the nuance here and i think don appreciates as well, is democrats may have had problems with nafta and certainly did. but in the absence of an agreement, what d

usmca is a big deal for us. i think when the numbers come in, mexico will be our largest trading partner. we want to see that ratified as quickly as possible. this should not be a partisan issue. the usmca is a better agreement than nafta. this should be a priority and get past right away, that will improve trade relationships with canada and mexico. we have good news with the chinese working with the administration to get the deal done. also, i believe the japanese are sitting down with the administration as well. that is a priority to get that done so we do not have prohibitive trade barriers and tariffs on u.s. beef going over there. we have to get congress to approve usmca, we have to get the deals with china and japan down, we have to deal with south korea. these are important markets in nebraska, 30% of what we grow gets exported overseas. it is a big part of our economy. we work with the trump administration to get these wrapped up. when we see that, we will see commodity prices come back up again. >> spe

>> the usmca has macro effects and micro effects.he macro effects, i believe, could be quite large because, one, it reduces uncertainty about what will happen in that space and two, there are a lot of things that have improved that will damage your company's a little bit but the mic groh effect could accumulate to have macro effects because there are a lot of things with the u.m.'s emcee that cryo to be added to other trade deal's and it will be the model for countries if they think about what the trade deal looks like in the 21st century. for example, how it handles digital commerce or even something super important but seems esoteric, really important, ocean litter. a lot of things in usmca that i think the team would be proud of but because the micro thing for the 21st century problems are a worthy update to a trade deal, the macro things improved a lot of stuff and it's quite likely it becomes a model for the future. >> an area that i identified as a challenge is, how do we remove the steel aluminum tariffs from the occasion for

usmca is a big deal for us. i think when the numbers come in, mexico will be our largest trading partner we have from the state of nebraska. it is a destination for things like corn and dairy. we want to see that ratified as quickly as possible. this should not be a partisan issue. the usmca is a better agreement than nafta. especially on issues like labor. this should be a bipartisan effort to make this a priority away,t this passed right that will improve trade relationships with canada and mexico. we have good news with the chinese working with the administration to get the deal done. also, i believe the japanese are sitting down with the administration as well. that is a priority to get that done so we do not have prohibitive trade barriers and tariffs on u.s. beef going over there. we have seen a lot of progress. at the end of the day, yet you get these things wrapped up. we have to get congress to approve usmca, we have to get the deals with china and japan done, we have to deal with south korea. these are

which means no usmca, no nafta. but beyond the predicament -- >> if he doesn't withdraw, though, we have the existing -- >> if he doesn't withdraw you have the current regulatory frame work, with some challenges because of the uncertainty of if he's going to do it, if that's going to be a sort of de-- he's going to now accept the worst deal ever and it's going to be the law of the land. but more importantly when you look at what's happening in the world and when you see the concerns in this city over china the greatest question is what does this do to the ability of america to remain strategically competitive in the asian pacific and with china? >> ambassador, do you want to weigh in on this? >> it is going to be a complete mess. some people say, oh, well, if nafta doesn't go, we go back to the -- we said this morning if the trade agreement was conducted last century, it doesn't take into account. we've got a situation if you don't have regulated trade amongst the three countries, it's putting up the drawbridges and

his priorityp on list is the usmca at this point? will it pass this year? rep.tz: we talked a lot about how we are going to move this through. representative steve scalise was really leading our delegation. he is in active discussions with speaker pelosi and her office. this is a bipartisan win for the country. a number of states and industries are affected. they are looking to get it to the floor at the earliest in may, the latest in july. to get this thing through, it is either this new deal or no deal, and he president was very clear about that. i think there's a number of industries that need the certainty of knowing what this framework is going to look like, so if we want to keep the economy moving forward on what should be a bipartisan issue, i think it will move. shery: i've got to say, you don't sound very convinced that it will actually be ratified this year, especially as we see canada and mexico still calling or stealing aluminum import tariffs to be lifted -- for steel and aluminum import tariffs to be lifted. can this deal happen with those in place

usmca will modernize and strengthen. once it's complete. we can see some of the next steps listed on the slide. now i noted earlier that there are a number of policy changes in 2018 setting the policy changes in 2018 setting the stage for u.s. producers in 2019. new farm bill, renewable field policy, regulations, farm program to adjust hurricane and wild fire disasters. today, let's look at the farm bill. december 20, president trump signed the agriculture improvement act of 2018. the new farm bill will cost $420 billion over the next five years. higher than the cost of continuing the 2014 farm bill. the nutrition title expected to cost 3 to 26 billion over five years, roughly 70 percent of the farm bill expenditures the crop insurance programs expected to cost 38 billion over five years, commodity programs expected to cost 31.4 billion over five years and conservation programs expected to cost 23.9 billion. in total, farmers and ranchers expected to receive almost 20 billion per year, that is about equal to 5 percent of their annual value

this is what usmca does.: i have to imagine that after a before you get usmca, the president and you will want to talk about china. .resident xi in europe where are we there? what do you need to see to make you feel comfortable it is a win for the united states as it relates to china? rep. brady: if it was not a real win, it would have already been concluded. the fact that they have spent nearly a month and a half going through the serious details of this potential agreement tells you how sensitive it is. we are not asking, they are not demanding china change its economic model. they are demanding a change on the part of the model that depends on cheating. getting an agreement that is ,ubstantive, that is measurable that can be enforced at every level of government, all of that is on the front side of where the negotiations are. the fact they are taking their time, not rushing into a bad deal, making it significant, that bodes well. what do you make of the idea that tariffs should be removed on day one? , or

trt team is to modernize nafta and bring it to usmca. the trade agreement has a lot of questions and i know that we're going to have ratified by all three countries, it's going to be a work in progress. what are you doing to help ratification of usmca? >> well, just getting the message out. again, on a state level or provincial level, your hands are tied to a certain degree. would i love to sit down and hammer out a deal? i'm confident i could hammer out a deal in a day, you know, i'm telling you, i am. we could sit down and get it done, but working with our federal government. i will work with anyone, i don't care if they are a liberal, nonliberal, conservative, whatever they are. if they can bring business to ontario, i will stand shoulder to shoulder with our federal government. and i think we've shown that in ontario, that we're standing shoulder to fourld with our federal government, but let's sk cut through all the nonsense. >> so i think your meeting with my governor and i know several other people are here with the nga and rga, t

we want to know how people in those districts view usmca. most of them don't really have an opinion. soe have a great opportunity to sort ofin d what this agreement is. >> reporter: cox's group found that 72% of voters in four sample swing districuprted the deal after hearing upbeat messages about it. the biggest jump, among women and democrats. >> what folks respond to in the polling is not the technical aspects of the deal, but the fact that this is good for farmers, it'sood for autoworkers. >> reporter: the sales pitch will kick intoigh gear in april when text of the deal and the report on its economi w impal be sent to lawmakers. vice president mike pence will take the lead on th white house's public effort in hopes of passing the deal by august, when lawmakers leave washington d the 2020 election season begins. for "nightly business report," i'mayla tausche in washington. >>> on wall street, stocks did finish the dayigher thanks to thrise in energy shares and a stabilization o yield of that 10-year treasury. by the close, the industrial

maria: you mentioned usmca. a lot of democrats have said to me i'm not going to vote for it in its current form. do you have a plan b if it doesn't pass? >> maybe you go pre-nafta. nafta is probably one of the worst trade deals ever made. i include wto. wto gave us china in its current form. they're considered in wto a developing nation. we put an end -- we let them know, we're not going to stand for that. we let the folks over at the world trade oranization know we're not going to stand for that. so think of it. china, india, these are all considered developing nations. we're not a developing nation. they have a big advantage over us. why didn't people come out strongly against that in past administrations? they should have. that's a tremendous advantage. we are not allowing that to p happen. maria: let me ask you -- >> we advised them we're not going to stand for that. maria: let me ask you about social media. you said many platforms censor conservative speech. >> i hate the concept of regulation on media. you

will theonservative canadian premier support e passage of usmca? >> well, every province has signed off on the, both tpp, labor and the envinment, they're all signed off by provinces informally with the national governments negotiating on their behalf. so everything in tpp for example, was signed off by a number of different premieres fries. and many of the provisions in the new draft agreement is actually right from the trans-pacific partnership. and so the only area, you know, the area that d lift, for some pvinces, may be the change in the pharmaceutical provisions but that's something also, the drug patent legislation, and i know peopleere have views in favor of that, and some have views against it, but it might be proposedo be cnged in the i'm not sure. but that wld be one of the areas that maybe a domesc debate in canada. but everybody signs off, and everybody's consulted. the prime minister consulted the premieres before agreeing to the final draft agreement. >> let's switch to the u.s. domestic political scene. and specifically, get into th

>> could you hit -- >> usmca requires a very short transition. they can get the additional two years if they are meeting certain requirements, we've worked with the manufacturers. is it a tight time frame? yes. is it a doable time frame? yes. we have to make changes as soon as we can. by extending this out, we have consensus among manufacturers, by extending it out, you're postponing americans getting their new jobs. i don't want to do that. this is a doable thing and by the way, we want them and -- to be manufacturing more engines and more transmissions in georgia and i think they're going to and they're going to quit using the korean engines in transition to a large extent. this is going to be a big win for you. but i don't want to defend them. i already pushed it off as far as ioff as i can. >> your accessibility is appreciated by the committee. please be advised that members have two weeks to submit written questions. they will be made part of the formal hearing record. and with that, the committee stands adjourned. >> where is the relationsh

so that the new nafta, usmca, can actually deliver even more results for working families in america. that's something we're working hard on. on tuesday i'll be filing a discharge petition. next tuesday. be filing a discharge petition to bring ann wagner's bill, the born alive act, to the house floor for a vote. i encourage every member who supports innocent life to sign that discharge petition. let's be clear about it. right now most -- probably around half the states have no protection for babies who are born alive outside the womb and in fact there are some states like new york, and you heard in virginia where they're trying, to make it legal to murder a baby after it's born alive. that's outrageous. and yet in many states it's still legal. so we have a bill, the born alive act, to protect innocent life. if a baby is born alive, outside of the womb, that baby should have full protection under law. so we'll be bringing that discharge petition next tuesday to the house floor. now i bring up our republican leader, kevin mccarthy. mr. mccarthy: thank you, steve. i want to thank congres

that meeting was about the usmca to get it ratified. president saying on the mueller report, the conspiracy with that goes all the way back to the lasted a administration. listen. reporter: it went very high up. it started fairly low but with instructions from the high up. this should never happen to a president again. we can't allow that to take place. reporter: senator lindsey graham wants to investigate if there was abuses of the fisa warrant process to get wiretaps, eventually start the mueller probe. democrats warning him be careful what you ask for. >> 37 indictments coming out of this investigation. i think that he should proceed with caution if he really wants to examine this entire investigation again, and put his, his president, that he defends, through thick or thin, back in the spotlight. reporter: final mueller report is with attorney general william barr. up to his discretion what is public and what isn't public. he is scheduled to testify before capitol hill on the appropriations subcommittee on april ninth. no doubt he g

that is important because that is the only way the usmca gets done.t is not with the progressive in the democratic party. it is selling to the moderate democrats who together with republicans can get it through the house. david: we had the new proposal come from the administration yesterday. i talked with the chairman of the house budget committee on basically, it is a very aggressive ask from the president. notc: these documents do matter the way they used to. it is an interesting read and contort the fight ahead. congress is going to be the battleground over the budget fight occurs. over the next few months it is congress who has to set those figures, which is fight number one. then they are going to figure out how to handle the debt ceiling and then do the nitty-gritty work of items for all the different programs. we will get to the other side of this and i am not looking at that budget document as having too much of an impact on the congressional conversation. .avid: it sets of the debate when you talk about congress -- ifng, i wonder it is it is

and we did the mexico and canada deal, usmca. that's going very well.hink that it should get approved pretty quickly by congress because it's a great deal. it's a really great deal. nafta was, to me, one of the worst deals i've ever seen. i think the wto is terrible also, by the way. think that's a really bad one. but we're winning cases all of a sudden, because we never won cases. they know my attitude, if they don't treat us fairly, we get out. and there's a big difference there. we're doing a good job -- we finished up at 3.1 gdp. everybody, you know, that hasn't been done in 14 years, maybe more than that, but 14 years. and i think we have tremendous momentum right now. and you're right, the world is slowing, but we're not slowing. and, frankly, if we didn't have somebody that would raise interest rates and do quantitative tightening, we would have been at over 4 instead of a 3.1. maria: and the fed said this week, actually, signaling we're not going to see any more rate hikes this year. do you think you influenced that system? >> i don't know. i ho

-mexico-canada agreement, usmca. it's the most comprehensive trade agreement ever negotiated and will modernize our trading relationship across north america. the usmca will create the highest standards to protect intellectual property rights, support mule and midsized businesses, open markets for agricultural products, spur manufacturing. i encourage all members of congress to support its passage because it will have a positive impact for american workers, business owners, farmers, and families. in addition to enhancing overall growth prospects, i want to note positive impact that the administration's economic agenda will have on our country's debt and deficits going forward. during the last administration analysts predicted that 2% growth was the highest america could achieve and that it was the new normal. we have already shown that we can and will do better. an extra 1% of g.d.p. growth per year means trillions of dollars of economic activity and more revenue to the government. turning to the budget, the policies

i want to ask a little bit about usmca. it seems to me congress is taking some votes right now that will have their chance in the senate. no chance to become law, assigned by law toby the president yet i think the usmca agreement is ready to debate and ready to vote on. is there any other priority in congress for the department of agriculture that has a higher priority right now than getting usmca past from your perspective? >> may be aside from the disaster bill we talked about previously, i think again this certainly is critical. as i've told you i e don't think we wan to contemplate the consequences of non-ratification, and i know that we are hardened by the coalition that's already forming out there. very strong farm bureau, chamber of commerce, but business and major agriculture groups. there is a lot of energy and a lot of momentum there right now. so i hope we don't terry too long in that. obviously the tricking us soof the 232's play into that to some degree but i hope we can resolve that sooner than later. >> what

the members called on congress to ratify the usmca agreement saying they stand united in support of that trade agreement. liz: the president spoke with our own maria bartiromo saying he does want to work with democrats on infrastructure. maria: is there anything you see you would like to work with the democrats on? president trump: yes, i can work on a lot. the easiest thing is infrastructure. they want it, i want it. i spoke to nancy pelosi by the the other day. we agree on it. i think we even like the type of infrastructure we are talking about. maybe in a certain way more democrat from my standpoint than the republican concept. liz: interesting. be sure to telecast full interview tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. eastern time. nike, third quarter earnings coming in, beating wall street forecasts. the company reporting weaker than expected sales in america. let's get an update from gerri willis. gerri: the dow was up 220 points. the nasdaq up 111. all three major indexes up 1%. technology very strong. people keep reconsidering those fed comments about the economy. now they are thinking the

nafta 2.0, the usmca, is going to be huge for michigan. president will be able to go into places like michigan, wisconsin and ohio talk about how he is fighting for them and their jobs and their wages. that is going to be critical because those are going to come threeo one to percentage points. i think the horse race with biden is a name recognition thing right now. it will be in can -- it will be net and neck. the president has done the right thing in renegotiating usmca and giving the voters, autoworkers in particular, and dairy farmers in wisconsin, a reason to be with him and to know that he has tried to help their industry, their jobs, and their wages. kevin: on the issue of tariffs, particularly with the auto industry, what do you say to the , small andmmunity medium-sized companies a bit wary of some of these tariffs? are they going to have to wait and see if they are going to be removed? guest: i think so. there's two sides to this going. i am not a big -- to this coin. i am not a big fan of tariffs. it is a tool to bring people to

on congress to push through the trade agreement between the u.s., mexico, and canada known as the usmca is afl-cio president richard trumka. good to have you back on balance of power. as you and i were getting into this conversation we were talking about how while robert mueller is taking up a lot of headlines, trade is dominating and it does feel like the usmca has gotten lost a little bit in the conversation. tell us where you are right now with the push through congress. richard: the labor movement, once we assure trade agreements benefit working people. this agreement, for it to be voted on, would be premature, and this is why kerry one of the problems -- and this is why. one of the problems under the old agreement is mexico kept rates artificially low. in this agreement they have to change their laws and effectively reinforce it. until they get that done, this agreement will not be near right for voting on. if we vote on it before they do that, their incentives to do those things goes away exactly like it did in columbia. we are saying don't vote at all until you put these things i

i think that the trade representatives have mishandled the path on usmca that the president runs a riskng this fail. this is probably the only thing he is hanging onto right now as a win, which is not even there yet. this should have been negotiated as paulor early 2018 ryan was begging for. this would have been, had not all the political noise that we are facing now with the midterms, with the election of democrats, with the 2020 race, with the prime minister's election coming up, the change in government, this was so mishandled. and second, they put tariffs on candidate for national security on steel and aluminum, which was not only inappropriate, but a real stab in the back to our best friend and a next-door neighbor. i think the administration will have to come around to the democrats and work together on this and find a path to success, otherwise the agreement is going to be dead in the water. david: you mentioned upcoming elections for justin trudeau in canada and it was looking like he was in good shape, but he has problems now, his attorney general resigned, and another woman in

usmca, congress should come up with a vote on that, kevin. let's get the best trade to we can for the american worker, the american industry. this president's leadership means manufacturing and mining and warehouse and construction are back. let's get a vote on this. let's get this to the american people. people who were lying about evidence of collusion worse than watergate for two years -- >> [inaudible] you in the president seemed to be on the same page. you are adopting the conclusions of attorney general barr based on his reading -- >> you're not? >> can i finish my question? >> i did not hear one. >> i'm getting to it. >> who, what, where, how is how they start. >> adopting mueller's finding that russia did interfere in the 2016 -- >> we have talked about that so many times. you never had the decency to finish the sentence. what is the causation? i remember the first a law school they taught as, what is the causation? you allowed hillary clinton to run around, if it was not call mey's.- co it was russia's fault. she was a lousy candidat

>> certainly, we want to ratify usmca. but certainly, the fact that there are tariffs still in place for aluminum and steel makes that more challenging. we would have hoped, because president trump said it clearly, that once we had a good deal in place, he has gone on and trumpeted the fact it has been a good deal for the united states. he said he would drop the tariffs, we're waiting for that to happen. >> is there a discussion within the canadian government to consider the idea of delaying ratification as a way to exert pressure? >> we can begin the implementation process as soon as 19 march. we have an election this year in canada. we will rise as government in june and then fall have the election. i think it is true to say that our mind is going to turn towards many other topics in the months that follow this spring. and so, we would like to resolve this issue, but the fact that the tariffs are still in place does pose a challenge for us.>> ambassador, can you bring us up-to-date on exactly what is going on the on the

usmca or naftae 2, or the village people's trade treaty, it is similar to the original nafta document, but there have been some changes made dealing and automotive so laboris -- so the larger of the vehicle needs to be paid at $16 an hour. the market is already doing this. i was in a meeting with supply chain managers. they are doing what was already started, which is global companies are tired of dealing with currency fluctuations, and a number of people in the room believe that while these tariffs may be rolled back, we are in an era of higher tariffs and they are regionalized in her production, meaning they look at -- regionalized in their production, and most of the on shoring his labor-intensive work. firms finding chinese taking advantage of lower wage labor in central and southern mexico. as we are seeing by how supply chains were, mexico is a central supplier, and when we look at market 35at is a million people. your caller is right. we have to take the north american perspective on it and that is how america win's. -- america wins. we know the only way to deal with border iss

usmca. like the song. if you can't remember -- ymca, right? we'll play the song for you, everybody. usmca. we've taken historic action to confront china's trading abuses, because the days of stealing american jobs and our ideas and our wealth have come to an end, folks. they've come to an end, all right? they've come to an end. we've made some progress. that's why you see these numbers. look at that chart. look at that. you don't have to know what's on it. what difference -- look at the line. you don't have to know what the hell is on it. all you know is that's a good line. technological positive change. that's ok, right? it's all like that. that's what it is. rob, jim, that's what it is. turner, see that? look. that's what we fight for, right? huh? that's what we're all fighting for. in everything we do and every action we take, we're putting america first, and we are putting american workers first, for the first time in a long time. so just in closing, i'd like to now introduce a couple of

usmca. congress should come up with a vote on that. get the best trade deal we can can for america, the american workers, the american industries. this president's leadership means manufacturing and mining and warehouse and construction are back. so let's get this done for the american people. see how honest people who are calling for bipartisanship today who were lying about evidence of collusion and worse than watergate for two years. reporter: you and the president seem to be on the same page, you are adopting the conclusions of attorney general barr based on his reading of -- ms. conway: you're not? reporter: can i finish my question. let me go to it, then. my question is -- ms. conway: who, what, where, , when how? reporter: is the president also adopting mueller's finding that russia did interfere in the 2016 election? ms. conway: we talked about that so many times. you never finished a sentence. you what's the causation? i'm a fully recovered attorney but i remember the first day of law school we taught us where are the damages?
