My plan b, is that if we dont make a deal, i will tariff, maybe not at 25 , maybe a 10 , but i will tariff the rest of the 600 billion that were talking about. So we have much more than 300 billion worth of products. Reporter exclusive interview with fox businesss Maria Bartiromo President Trump says he is happy where things are with china but it is possible that talks could convince him not to move forward with additional round of tariffs but trump says there is more on the table than just tariffs. He wants china to stop manipulating the value of their money. They devalue their currency like a pingpong ball. They played the devaluation card for years, people dont call them on it, were looking for calling them on it the first time. What is the difference, you call them on it, big deal. I want to have a Good Relationship with china. I have a great personal relationship with president she. He is a friend of mine. I think he is fantastic. Reporter no matter what cops out of the facetoface
Under this plan, maybe a lot more. You have a lot of concerns, including Paul Manafort, former Trump Campaign manager, a 12count indictment will land him in court 1 30 p. M. Eastern time. When he is there, we are there. Turning himself in charges that predate his experience with donald trump and financials ties, misstating money. White house brief, at normal, one p. M. Eastern time. Blake burman, with the very latest from the while house. Reporter hi, neil. Paul manafort and his business associate rick gates will make themselves to the courthouse in d. C. Shortly at 90 minutes from now at 1 30. When you read through the 31page indictment, 12 different counts. You can oil it down to the following handful. The feds alleging that manafort engaged essentially in tax evasion and tax fraud. They say there was Money Laundering on behalf of manafort, to the tune of 18 million. They say he lied to doj investigators when asked about. They claim he did not register as foreign lobbiest. When you l
Listen to what ted cruz said about getting to yes. If premiums continue to rise after we hold a press conference claiming to have repealed obamacare, that is a disaster. It is a disaster politically. Its a disaster substantiallily. It would be a failure of the mandate weve been given by the voters. Reporter take a look at three senators who are not a no, but theyre not yeses, theyre somewhat unclear. That obviously would be Susan Collins of maine, Lisa Murkowski from alaska, and rob portman from ohio. Neil as you do the math, it is simple, 48 democrats will vote no. Mitch mcconnell needs at least 50 republicans to say yes. Then he can get this through with the Vice President voting in favor as well. If he loses just one more, because if he loses more than the two, if it is three, this thing doesnt go forward. Negotiations are underway. Everybody has different concerns. Some like portman are concerned about funding for opioid at diction. Collins from maine is concerned about impacts fro
Going to go back and forth talking about things they want to see and not see in what would be the most significant tax cut weve seen in a generation. It wouldnt be the most significant in American History but would be a big deal. Were very close to securing all the votes necessary. If you hear the republicans telling it, including Mitch Mcconnell saying what he wants to do on this, theyre very close to having all 52 republican senators voting for this tax cut. We dont know all the details of that. Its changed mightily since it Left Committee and to get the votes and try to get the arm twisting done. There were billions floating back and forth here. Then to reconcile that later on with the house package. So normally this would be all over broadcast like yesterday, right . But along the way, we had the general Michael Flynn news today, talk that the president knew something, that hes serving up the president on a legal platter. Its anyones guess. What we know is stocks were down close to
Idea of disparaging mr. Mueller. Neil all right, im seeing this and all the rage and a lot of it can be on both sides, but, man, oh, man, to hear a lot of democrats criticizing, the harm it could do to the fbi, i seem to remember a good many of them, including the ones you just saw there singing a very different tune when it came to concerns about then director comey going after hillary clinton. Take a look. When the director of the fbi, mr. Comey, released that letter two fridays ago, he became the leading republican political operative. I think you should take a hard look at what he has done and i think it would not be a bad thing for the American People if he did step down. And this latest missive and the leaks that are now coming from the department, i think, dont reflect well on the director or the bureau and i think is a serious mistake. He owes not only secretary clinton, but the American People an explanation for what appears to be an appalling action. Neil all right. So, when
