Family business and more about an attack on his daughter. He ran, he won, and for people to take out on executive orders, he has every right to stand up for his family. Hes very proud of what they do and what they have accomplished and for someone to take out their concern of the policies against a Family Member of his is simply not acceptable and he has every right to speak out about it. In this state and other states around the country theres a growing concern about the undocumented immigrants whose lives are in the United States and have no criminal records. My question is, is this Administration Ready to tackle comprehensive Immigration Reform . If so can you give us a timeline and if not how long are they to live in the country long term . I dont think theres any doubt about it when you talk about a comprehensive approach, hes talked about addressing dapa and daca. I think theres no question both on the Security Side and reforming the current legislation that is so clearly broken, so to your timeline i think hes going to work with congress to get further down that. Playing off of the questions about the on the Business Activities that you described the president taking offense to, nordstrom has said it was not a political decision it was a business division, ivanka trump said she has divorced herself from the business. I think shes targeted. Theres clearly efforts to under mi undermine that name based on her fathers issues on particular policies, this is a direct attack on his policies and her name, so theres clearly an attempt for him to stand up for her because shes being maligned because they have a problem with his policies. To clarify that, the timing of that tweet looked right after his ive heard the conjecture, he was free when that happened. Thank you for asking. That was actually thats two. Im sorry that was a clarification of the one. If he does not prevail in court that he will never be safe, that we will never have the safety an security were entitled to. Does that mean thats the only tool in his tool box and if not were toast . No, any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the United States and proclamations as he shall deem necessary, immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on he may deem appropriate. I guess at some point you dont look at that statute and say the president has the power and deemed necessary to keep this country safe, you got to wonder how far youre going to allow that to get eroded. So you have to wonder if the president doesnt have the power to execute invested in him. But we have a president who acted 100 lawfully to keep people out of the country from seven countries that we did not have the proper information with the appropriate means and motives, if at some point the president doesnt have the popo given to him in law that questions what a slippery slope were on. The president said this morning that he paid very close attention to the arguments last night. Was he happy with the presentation the d. O. J. Attorney made . There was some concern that he wasnt strong enough, he seemed to be searching for answers particularly in the point of standing . There was a lot of back and forth in the argument, he made some very solid points and he did what he had tootoo a to rep the president and the merits of this case. I think hes looking forward to getting it back to the lower courts. I think thats where his focus has been, so im not concerned i think the president s main concern has been on the merits of this case and making sure that an executive order lawfully executed and went through the entire process, we have to go back and remember the d. O. J. s office of legal complaints deemed it was legal, so we followed the entire process to make sure it was done correctly, constitutionally, legally and every otherwise to now our focus is making sure we have to wait a day or two or whatever to the tro we look forward to discuss this on the opportunity of the merits. Just as a point of clarification. So he was happy with his presentation . I think he is looking forward to the merits of this discussion. Thats where i think he was pleased with some of the points made but his focus is on the merits of the order and making sure were ultimately able to do what we can to keep the American People safe. Question number two. We have reported that russia said its biggest shipment of missiles ever to syria, just wonder the president s reaction . We dont have any comment at this time. The Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and would you do the same for the Islamic Revolutionary guard . I think theres no one who can question the president s commitment to fully attacking and facing the threat that we have to radical islamic terrorism. He is going to do whatever it takes. That being said im not going to get ahead of any announcements we may or may not have coming in the future, but make no mistake that our president understands the threats that we face and will do everything he can to attack it. Terrorism is a far greater threat than people understand. That sounds like hes telling the American Public that they have something to fear. Is there a specific threat hes talking about and should the American People based on that statement right there be fearful . No, but the American People need to understand the president is very committed to this, and we face a real threat, and the reason hes taking the steps he is is because we must remain everyvigilant. We cant let our guard down and the president is going to take the steps to protect the people of this country and the idea that we should not sit back and appreciate the threat that were in, its day after day, week after week, month after month, lone wolf thats going throughout the world. So i think what the president is trying to make sure that the American People understand that hes doing everything he can to protect them and to keep our people and institutions safe and so this is not something we can rest on our laurels, he was just down at monday morning getting a full briefing of the threat we face from around the world and their motives and i think thats something that we weighs very heavily on his mind when he gets in these meetings, and meets with the green beret soldiers he recognized there are so many people putting their lives on the line to protect this country and that it is his job to do with that information to protect the country. While we may not face an imminent threat today, what about next month, next year, he is taking every step. But is the threat greater i understand what youre saying, im telling you we shouldnt ever be behind the curve, we dont know when the next one is coming, we dont know when the next lone wolf is coming, we have amazing intelligence trying the root out an make sure it doesnt happen again but we cant wait for the next attack to come and say i wish we had done the following. And the steps he is taking are proactive in making this country safer. A carbon tax and secondly could you set up tomorrows meeting with the airline ceos what he hopes to get out of it and discuss . Im not going to comment on the pending legislation, well wait and see where that comes. It not going to be a habit on ours to comment on every bill that gets introduced until we have a statement of policy. Well have a readout tomorrow. But in general hes met with intelligence now, met with the executives of car manufacturers, technological companies, so these meetings in the next months an years sitting down with the leaders of other countries is to further the administration to create jobs, share that with other countries that wont to great job growth, et cetera. If i can go now to our next seat let me weve got josh smith from wjhl in southwest virginia. First off thanks so much for taking questions from journalist covered local news, wjhl is in southwest virginia, that is coal compa country, the president made a promise he would work to bring back coal jobs and push back against environmental regulations, what specifically is the president willing to do, planning to do to make good on that promise to encourage Coal Production use and to deal what with some call a demonized image, and i have to ask two questions because when am i ever going to get to do this again, hearing the president talking about pushing back and regulations and bringing back coal, what assurances can he give to the people worried about the impact on the environment . I think when you hear him talk about coal specifically its under the guides of clean coal, and its make use of one of the technologies we have, the president s point is as we bring back this industry we can do it in a way that its environmentally friendly and is a great Energy Source for us. The department of energy noted that we expect about a 3 increase in Coal Production in this country, which is a noticeable reverse from the past. The executive order and the talk the president has had over the past year or so about his desire to bring back coal, largely that has to do with regulation that the epa put on existing coal plants that they couldnt operate in an effective way to stay open. The president is working with industry to roll that back and do it in the a way thats environmentally friendly, a way to harness clean coal. Yemen has withdrawn permissions from the United States to run special operations, Ground Missions against suspected terrorists in the wake of the recent raid there that claimed so many civilian lives, does that not under cut the administrations ability to cutt terrorism and d you still call that a success . First, its absolutely a success and anyone who suggests its not is a disservice to ryan owens. My statement is very clear on that kristen, anybody who under mi undermi undermines the success of the raid owes an apology to the life and service of chief owens. Future attacks will be prevented the life of chief ryan owens was done for this country and we owe him and his family a great otherwise is a disservice to his life and his service to this country. I dont know how much clearer i can be kristen, hunter walker. This morning President Trump asked local Law Enforcement officials to assist with deportations, if he doesnt get the cooperation hes hoping for does he plan to have dhs begin deportations of undocumented criminals in the border zone . When you talk about immigration, whether its the wall, existing visa reform, i dont think anyone questions the president s commitment to immigration and reform. I think ive addressed this motion to vacate the judgme multiple times, you have heard secretary kellie talk about the wall. Theres going to be a considerable amount of action on this front in border security. It started day within and is going to continue until the last possible day until the president feels this border is 100 secure and got it under control. Is he defunding his tool im not going to get ahead of it. When you saw the support and side conversations that the sheriffs and Police Officers had and the conversations beyond that the sheriffs the other day the support they have issued on batch behalf of his executive actions. These are the folks on the front line that are on the border that see what some of this does and how it affects families and businesses not to mention the cost of it is in terms of our country and immigration and the southern border but also the cost it has on our economy and jobs so youre going to continue to see a fuleury flur rry of ac yesterday on cnn Kelly Anne Conway discussed can you confirm that stark hill and his ambassador to ottawa . I will have updates on the pr Prime Ministers schedule. With respect to the ambassador, we have no additional ambassador nominations to make. With respect to the agenda as the president spoke with Prime Minister trudeau, they talked about trade, security and commerce and i think all thats going to be discussed at the time when the president and him have further meet or discuss this. Based on nato of course is one of the 28 member country it is, the president has been calling out countries to pay their fair share of dues. What are his options if countries dont listen to him . Look, every country is obligated to pay 2 of their gdp, and the president made it clear too long many countries have had a free ride too long. He has addressed not just to them but so many of the nato countries and by and large they understand that and the president is very clear that in order for nato to be successful these folks have to pay their fair share. Does the white house have a reaction to reports that yemen has revoked the u. S. To do mission yemen under more than most countries understand the fight that we have with isis and i think were going to continue to work with them to strengthen our diplomatic relationship to understand our fight against terrorism and so at this point ill leave it as we understand that we share that commitment with them and were going to continue to work with them to combat isis and make sure we do that. Im not in a position to go any further. President erj wwan said will i think the readout that we put on turkey was as far as we want to go on that. Thank you. Im going to go to our last one adrian na collins. What does the president make of his vow to make immigrants in boston city haul to shield them from the Trump Administration . I think the president s executive order is pretty clear. When it comes to this kind of actions again i think i referenced it earlier in the briefing but its twofold, one the concern about the safe of the American People and how we let people come into this country, second with respect to the american tax payer and if were going to be spending federal tax dollars to washington, the president is going to do everything in his power to respect the tax payers money thats spent facilitating illegal activities on nonamerican citizens. The wall in the process of being designed given his previous background does he plan on being actively involved with the designing and impemation of that of that wall an last night Elizabeth Warren and critics say she was silenced on the floor. On the wall, the president is going to make sure as his project moves forward hes going to stay in close touch with secretary kellie to make sure its his specs, i would expect a project of this magnitude and one this high on his prior to list will get the necessary attention from the president. Senator warren last night. Yeah, i would refer you back to senate rules. This is not something that we tend to discuss here. Ill leave it to the senator mcconnell and the senate to discuss rules. To followup on yemen. It seems like the report was that the yemen eese has asked t government to stop doing any operations against the is that the request that you got from the yemen eesyemenese . They understand the fight and the commitment that we both share when it comes to routing out isis. How he had mentioned one part of it, the other part this morning was that theres been a big increase in traffic to the u. S. From certain areas. Can you say cwhat certain areas hes referring to. Ive got to get back to you on that. Turkey, did the president dispatch the cia director to turkey, as turkish reports are saying. I just saw it, so if it happened it hasnt been the last hour. About whether there was discussion about extraditing who turkey views a terrorist . I have nothing to read out at this time. And the statement about you dont know when the next lone wolf is coming. I believe based on numbers on vast lone wolves were either american, american born or naturalized american citizens, so i guess what is he doing just for example within the seven countries that weve talked about, theres at least 20 some odd people over the last few years that have come into this country convicted of or charged with acts of terrorism. Sg but with respect we dont know who is the next act. You dont look at it and say lets play odds on american lives. You do what you can to prevent any attack on americans, you can say when was the last time somebody committed a shoe bomb. Thats not what im asking. Youre asking when is the next terrorist attack and we know. No, the people being radicalized in the basement in front of a computer a screen and the president has asked for a plan to defeat isis, and is also working with the fbi and Domestic Intelligence agencies to gather the best information we can to prevent acts on our soil so it is being done that we havent heard about. Theres a whole government approach, were not looking at this myopically. The whole point of that First Executive ban was to start with countries that we didnt have the appropriate vetting measures, as coming into this country, the ninety day period were reviewing other countries, external threats coming into the country, with the Domestic Intelligence gathering whether its cyber or other ways to find other ways to prevent other ways, its another an either or proposition its a whole government approach to whats going on. The Bipartisan Group of senators are introducing legislation that would allow the senate to sign off on a reduction in sanctions against russia. Would the president support such a check by congress on sanctions . Theres two sets of sanctions, one is with respect to crimea, Ambassador Haley has addressed that very forcefully that until russia leaves crimea, those arent a starter. The others i dont want to get ahead of the legislation, but again were not going to get into pending legislation with respect to the sanctions that specifically deal with ukraine and crimea, Ambassador Haley has spoken very, very clearly about that. The president said this morning in his address to the Law Enforcement officials that hell have a zero tolerance policy for
