On the eve of his first 100 days in office . Trump hits that mark saturday but calls it a artificial barrier and not meaningful, a different kind of presidency, he says. A looming shutdown is five days away. The administrations persistence to get the border wall funded could complicate matters. The Administration Says at a later date, mexico will be paying in some form. Heres budget director mulvaney. We dont think theres a structural reason that the house and senate cannot do both in a week. If we can have an agreement by the end of the day on keeping the government open, that can get done this week. If the house at least can get its ducks in a row this week to vote on health care, they can do that, as well. As of this morning, Reince Priebus seemed to be backpedaling. I think that as long as the president s priorities are adequately reflected in the c. R. And allows us to get moving with an increase in military spending and rebuilding of our military, as he promised in one of your bullet points, and theres enough as far as flexibility for the border wall and border execute, i think well boredy wall and security, i think well be okay. Democrats are putting the onus to keeping the government funded squarely on the gop. Republicans have the votes in the house and senate and the white house to keep government open. The burden to keep it open is on the republicans. The wall is, in my view, immoral, expensive, unwise. The Government Shutdown would deliver a Major Political blow for this president as his approvals hit historic lows. The latest nbc news wall street journal poll is showing mr. Trump at the lowest point of any president at this point in their time in office. With 40 approving of his job and 55 of americans disapproving. Now 40 approval is lower than all three previous president s that came before him. A positive for mr. Trump his marks on the economy in comparison to foreign policy. For more were joined by nbcs tracie potts. Were hearing the white house has a jampacked schedule ahead of the 100day mark. Whats in store . Reporter a busy week. Lets take a look. Starting today the president meets with the u. N. Security council, and tomorrow a focus on agriculture. A round table with farmers as the new ag secretary is sworn in. Wednesday, thats going to be a big day because the white house rolls out its tax reform plan. An legislation but the outline of what they want to do. Plus a briefing of navy. Thursday, the foreign minister from argentina. Then a meeting with the nra. Saturday, the big day, the 100th day. The president will be in pennsylvania at a rally, interestingly, during the white house Correspondents Dinner that hes declined to attend. Do people still support President Trump . Take a look at this while hes got record low approval ratings, in our poll, 40 , for this time in office. The abc Washington Post poll shows that 96 , almost all of the people who vote for President Trump, say they would do it again. So some mixed reviews coming in from the public as he heads into this 100th day with a busy week. Certainly a lot to watch. Nbcs tracie potts for us in washington. Thank you. A very busy time for the white house, for sure. Now to more complications and escalating tensions for the u. S. And north korea. Over the weekend north korea threatened to sink the uss carl vinson which the trump Administration Says is headed for the region. This as a citizen has been detained in pyongyang for reasons unknown. We have this report from seoul, south korea. Reporter with the uss carl venison headed to the korean peninsula, another american is in custody in pyongyang.

And a businessman serving ten years, accused of spying. All bargaining chips, says former governor bill richardson, whos helped win the release of prisoners before. They always want something in return from the used a highlevel visit or humanitarian assistance. Reporter north korea doesnt seem in the mood for talking. Kim jonguns regime threatened to sink an aircraft carrier, warned australia that support for the u. S. Would be a suicidal act, and threatened a Nuclear Strike on the country, as Vice President mike pence toured sydney. The latest Satellite Photos of the test site show activity but shed no light on the regimes plans. Thank you for that report. This morning, Global Stock Markets are jumping on new details from the french president ial elections. The field has just been narrowed down to two candidates.

It is scheduled for two weeks from now. We have more from london. Tammy, how are people reekti i people reacting to the results . Reporter good morning. The candidates show how divided voters are. Neither candidate represents a mainstream party, and thats never happened in the countrys modern history. Far right populist Marine Le Pen and macron will face off. Mac ron had a slight lead, but hes a political novice. The 39yearold investment banker ran essentially a Grassroots Campaign with no support from a Major Political party. He has a very optimistic vision of a tolerant france in the future and a united europe, one with open borders. Le pen was the national frontrunner and ran on a frenchfirst platform. It essentially means it calls for closed borders, police immigration, and tougher security. And speaking of security, there was a attack in paris thursday. This is remaking the countrys Political Landscape and shutting up a showdown over its participation in the european union. Back to you. A lot to watch on the global stage. Thank you.
