Discussed a bilateral meeting in the not too distant future at a number of potential venues including the white house. She adds we have nothing further to add at this time. So two things there, she is saying they did discuss that meeting, the same time when President Trump said after that march 20th phone call they could be meeting soon. She said a venue has not been selected yet. She said they have not spoken since that call. No further developments have been made on this. That was the very contentious phone call in the headlines for days. President trump congratulated Vladimir Putin on his election victory even though his team advised him not to do so. He faced several severe blowbacks on that call. And doing that from senator, people like senator john mccain who says President Trump should not be congratulating a dictator on a sham election victory and also during that call when the president did not raise russian meddling in the American Election with putin and also did not raise t
He didnt leave on his own accord. He was canned. Thats what the donald does. This is new day with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your new day. Chris is off. I am jim shuuto and john avlon joining me. What a fun hour we have had. Okay. Lets continue. China makes good on its promise to strike back, slapping tariffs on 3 billion worth of u. S. Exports in response to President Trumps penalties on imported steel and aluminum. The retaliatory move heightening fears of a trade war. Meantime, President Trump declaring no deal for dreamers and threaten to go pull out of nafta unless mexico does more to protect the border. New reporting about what is fueling the president s hard line on immigration. All of this as David Shulkin tells cnn he was fired while the white house still insists he resign, setting up a fight over his successor. The we have it all covered. Lets begin with ivan watson live in beijing with our top story. Reporter hi there, jim. China has
In a few minutes. Cnns Kaitlan Collins is at the white house with more for us this morning. Reporter the president has been on quite a roll this morning, continuing that tweet storm from over the weekend, continuing to talk about mexico, saying their border laws are more effective than those in the United States, even though that conflicts with something he said just recently saying that mexico is allowing too many people to pour into their country, causing them to come to the United States as well. Were seeing the president continuing with these, as you saw just there now, saying that daca is dead because democrats didnt care, but then seconds later says that everyone is hopping on the daca bandwagon. Anyone crossing over illegally now would not be eligible to qualify for daca, so that is an important thing to note there. But overall what were seeing is much different language from the president on daca than what he has said in the past. And look at just this, what he said just yester
Regarding daca in the past. Listen to what he had to say yesterday on his way to church for an Easter Service compared to what he said about daca before then. A lot of people are coming in because they want to take advantage of daca and were going to have to really see. Very, very tough subject. Were going to deal with daca with heart. This should be a bipartisan bill. This should be a bill of love, truly, it should be a bill of love and we can do that. Reporter now these tweets, lets give context, this comes after three days of the president in maralago at his club in palm beach, florida, where he dined and ate and hung out with a lot of people who essentially were hardliners on immigration who told him that his base this hes softened his stance on that. Several of them on the fox news payroll so that could be in part why we are hearing so much on this from the president now after days of silence on this and now remarking on this issue but the question now is whether this actually rep
