Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Fredricka Whitfield 2

At the white house. Sarah, the president this morning celebrating this deal in a series of tweets. What did each country get out of it and what do we know about this deal . Reporter alex, we know this is a deal that came together after three days of intense negotiations between the mexican delegation that had come up here to washington and the u. S. Side led by secretary of state mike pompeo. And it resulted in President Trump backing off that threat to impose a 5 tariff on all goods imported from mexico and in exchange, mexico agreed to deploy thousands of its troops throughout the country including to its southern border to stop the flow of Central American migrants coming up through mexico to get to the u. S. Border. Mexico agreed to take Decisive Action to disrupt human smuggling organizations and agreed that migrants caught crossing illegally into the u. S. Could be sent back to mexico where they would be permitted to wait while their asylum claims were being processed in the u. S. And for its part, the u. S. Agreed to speed up the asylum process. President trump on twitter this morning thanked the president of mexico and mexicos foreign minister for their commitment to the immigration negotiations. He also wrote, mexico will try very hard and if they do that this will be a very successful agreement. Of course President Trump on twitter and his allies have been taking a victory lap as a result of this deal being signed. But we should note that President Trumps demands for the mexican side were always vague. The president never specified what it was that mexico had to do to get these tariffs lifted. So as a result, the white house has been able to claim that this deal satisfies exactly what President Trump was looking for. Republicans on capitol hill may also be breathing a sigh of relief because they had had concerns about how this deal would affect american businesses. Some had even sought a delay in the implementation of these tariffs. But of course, alex, that situation seems to be avoided at the moment because President Trump has walked back that tariff threat in exchange for his immigration deal. While also admitting that lots of ifs still remain. Mexicos ambassador said that mexico would provide education, health, and Employment Opportunities to migrants in mexico while they seek asylum in the United States. Michelle kosinski is back with me this half hour. Michelle, how will this help things on the southern border . Reporter its unclear how much of an impact this will be. What the u. S. Would have loved to have happened would be for mexico to agree to be what is known as a third safe country. Its a legal agreement that countries make with each other. This is in place in other parts of the world. But basically it requires refugees to apply for asylum in the first safe country they enter. And in this case, ideally, to some in the white house, it would have been mexico. So every refugee passing through mexico would have had to apply for asylum there and not go to the United States. If they continued on to the United States, then the u. S. Could just deport them easily back to mexico as essentially their new safe home. So that would have clearly made an impact in numbers. Now mexico has said, well take care of all the people awaiting asylum in the United States, that is something, but obviously its not the kind of impact that Something Like a third safe country agreement would have had. And it remains to be seen what that does for numbers reaching the border. But remember, mexico is also going to use its National Guard in thousands to patrol its border with guatemala and theyll be stationed throughout the country too. That might have some impact as well. Do we have any sense how this will address the detainees already here in the u. S. . Reporter well, for people seeking asylum, im not sure what the cutoff date would be for when they i mean, the u. S. Has already been sending people back to mexico to await their asylum claims. At one point a judge put a stop to that. But that is already established and desired process for the United States. So thats why its unclear how much of a difference this is going to make. I think the ideal difference would be if people in guatemala or passing through and then making it to mexico see that the asylum process means were going to wait it out in mexico and we know the u. S. Is trying to toughen up its processes for asylum seekers, that that would be a deterrent to those people. Not sure if thats going to happen. But you know, in the summer months, traditionally the numbers of people trying to reach the u. S. Border dropped dramatically. If that happens again, well see the tropicdrop in numbers, and see whether the president declares that a major victory because of this agreement with mexico that did get some things but not anything so impactful as, you know, what the u. S. Would have wanted in an ideal situation. 130,000 last month, were talking about huge numbers here. Michelle kosinski in washington, thank you. With extra border enforcement and help in breaking up trafficking networks, the u. S. Got almost everything it wanted from this deal with mexico. But as weve noted, the talks are not over yet. There are lots more details to iron out. Cnn National Correspondent Dianne Gallagher joins us live from el paso, texas with more on how those at the border are reacting to this deal. Dianne . Reporter alex, to piggyback off of that, its welcome news that were not going to be seeing tariffs on either side of the border here that would Impact Business not just here in el paso but in jaruarez just ba there. As far as the real impact of this agreement, what it does beyond whats already being done, thats still to be determined. The numbers havent looked like this in more than a decade. Nearly 133,000 people apprehended by customs and Border Protection for crossing into the u. S. Illegally in just the month of may. Families making up the majority, more than 11,000 of them unaccompanied children. The acting cpb commissioner calling it, quote, a fullblown emergency. Government Processing Centers and shelters overcrowding, some to Dangerous Levels with unsanitary and unsafe conditions, according to the department of homeland securitys watchdog agencies. Translator it was so crowded, my son had to sleep standing up. Reporter she crossed over into texas with her two sons in hopes of getting to family in houston. Instead she, along with hundreds of other migrant families, were flown to california to make room. We didnt realize that folks would be flown into san diego. San diego is a great place to live, but so it did take us by surprise. But its apparently three plane loads a week, around 135, 150 per plane load. Weve given up on a logic model to this whole matter. There isnt a logic model. Reporter right now people who live in guatemala and honduras are facing intense economic and environmental conditions with everpresent violence and a drought that is limiting food availability. But thats been happening for a long time. Critics of the white house say this most recent extreme spike in movement is a direct result of the president s policies. Theyre saying the big change is the message that this is your last chance, President Trump, if youre ever going to escape these dire circumstances, you have to come now. Reporter and if President Trump focusing on beefing up security, a wall, more Border Patrol agents, and adding u. S. Troops today we have approximately 2,000 Service Members supporting the mission along the southwest border. Reporter experts say smugglers are becoming more sophisticated. Central American Families are more aware of u. S. Laws and the likelihood they wont be deported in large numbers, at least right away. Focusing far more on Success Stories from neighbors than threats from the white house. And thats really going to be the true test here. Are smugglers going to be open with the people that theyre making money off of, who are already in vulnerable situations, about the National Guard in mexico throughout various places, about the situation they may be held in mexico . So we could be looking at this delay and waiting for the word to make it to those northern triangle countries. To be honest, alex, it may not make a difference to begin with. A lot of these people know its a risky journey to begin with and may be willing to go ahead and take that risk anyway. Yes, so important to remember why these people are making the trip north. Dianne gallagher, thank you so much. Democrats are jockeying for position in the polls. The state of iowa in focus this weekend on the campaign trail. We will take you there.

Until then the large field of hopefuls will be crisscrossing the country. Nearly a dozen of them will be tripping over each other this weekend in iowa with many attending the states largest lgbtq event in des moines, where we find our leyla santiago. Leyla, why are the candidates so focused on this weekend . Reporter it being early isnt stopping candidates and voters showing up to talk about 2020. This is crucial, this could be where they pick up key support in a key state. This is iowa, the first state that caucuses for the election cycle. Know your audience, right . A lot of these candidates, eight of them, will be here today for the gay pride fest, a pretty liberal audience for them to target. Theyll get ten minutes to kind of make their pip. Ive spoken to maybe five or six voters, and they have told me the things that are important to them, no surprise, are the rights of the lgbtq community, jobs. I had one gentleman just tell me up he wants someone that can understand and relate to his financial situation, get rid of corruption. Those are the things they want to hear from these candidates when in about two hours they go in front of a forum and talk to voters. Thats not the only reason theyre here, because tomorrow, another big event, the hall of fame dinner that will be the largest gathering in this cycle thus far. Thats why youll have 19 of the 23 candidates there trying to get another pitch to show the strength of their campaign. So whos not here . The frontrunner, that would be joe biden, not in iowa this weekend. And his campaign tells us thats because he has a Family Commitment that was set, scheduled quite a long time ago. But we may see, may see what we saw a lot of the candidates do last weekend at the California Democratic convention, which is some of them kind of criticizing joe biden directly and often indirectly. What that could cost him, well have to wait and find out. The candidates that are here are certainly trying to play to that key audience and gain that key support, alex. Joe biden lying low after what was really his first tough week since he announced his candidacy. Leyla santiago in des moines, thanks very much. Women will of course again play a huge role in deciding the 2020 election. Cnn visited one pennsylvania county that swung from obama to trump in 2016. So how do women there feel today .

Lots of women are acting one step further than they went before, whether its volunteer, donate, or run, women are stepping it up.

Her 2020 vote, still undecided. He should be able to try to do the job he wanted to, to make America Great again. Reporter and christina clinger became a democrat. What is so concerning about him .

I found thats very offensive. Reporter female voters in the suburbs and beyond, an energized and powerful voting bloc, gearing up for an election still 17 months away. Miguel marquez, cnn, nazareth, pennsylvania. Thanks, Miguel Marquez. Coming up, President Trumps fiery approach to immigration results in a new agreement with mexico. But how will this tugofwar over the border affect relationships with the rest of the world . More after this break. If you have moderate to severe psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis, Little Things can be a big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not an injection or a cream. Its a pill that treats differently. For psoriasis, 75 clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques.

And mexico have reached a deal to avoid the threat of tariffs on mexican goods, President Trump<\/a> announcing the lastminute deal late last night in a tweet saying the tariffs scheduled to be implemented on monday against mexico are hereby indefinitely suspended. Mexico in turn has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border. This is being done to great reduce or eliminate illegal immigration coming from mexico into the United States<\/a>. Thats quite a change from the messaging we heard all week out of the white house. Mexico shouldnt allow millions of people to try to enter our country and they could stop it very quickly. Theyre coming up by the millions, mexico can stop it, they have to stop it, otherwise we just wont be able to do business, its a very simple thing. Well see what happens. But theres something pretty dramatic going to happen. Weve told mexico the tariffs go on, and i mean it, too. So joining me to discuss all this, our cnn political analyst Nathan Gonzalez<\/a> and martgaret taleb. Margaret, is this what the president touts, his dealmaking ability . Going into iowa hell say this is an example of tough negotiations and what he can get done. But the deal that was struck, mexico actually helped save the president from himself a little bit here politically at home. He had mounting pressure from republicans in congress not to move forward with those tariffs. A jobs report on friday with weaker jobs numbers that may have reflected some of the economic concerns with china as well as mexico and some of these political trips like the rally next week in iowa where he will be talking to parts of america where there are real concerns about the impact of tariffs on agriculture and other sectors of the american economy. The mexico side also tweeting, the ambassador to the u. S. , saying that mexico will strengthen measures for the application of its immigration law. She added that the country will give health, employment, and Education Opportunities<\/a> to people waiting in mexico during their asylum process. Nathan, do we have a sense of how likely that is and how this will all play out . Aits a good question. Its no surprise that the tweets and announcements coming from the mexican side are more measured and diplomatic than what we see from the president s twitter feed. All of this might look good on paper, at least it looked good enough to the white house on paper, but we have to see the implementation of it, does it satisfy what the white house wants or does the crisis that the white house is trying to address, does it continue . Does it stem the flow at the border . If it doesnt, well be back in the same cycle where the president will threaten tariffs again and well be doing this again in a few weeks or a few months. But even if its an on papon theres a lot that hasnt been nailed down. Margaret, is it sustainable in the long term . I think we have to look at the calendar in a pretty structured way. Were looking at now three months worth of time for this to play out that gets the president through this summer, and really into the slightly more aggressive part of the 2020 election season by the time the fall rolls around. It also gets the president through the g20 which is coming up at the end of june, and perhaps past that g7 as well where hell be having meetings with the chinese leader and visiting western economies. He gave the auto tariffs a longer period of time, six months, to play out. The president is trying to use those levers to try and show his base that hes going to be tough on these negotiating tactics. But being able to see how the economy responds so he can kind of calibrate. At least hes trying to do this and the white house wants him to do this, his Political Team<\/a> wants him to do this, calculate how to make these political points without doing something to the economy that could have a major backlash on the u. S. , on consumers and his own reelection prospects. How much do you actually think this is tied to 2020 . I think everything is tied to 2020. Maybe im jaded, but i think theres a political side of all of this and i think the president wants to win reelection. I know the president and the white house are focused on delivering on Campaign Promises<\/a> he made in 2016, theyre trying to check off one by one promises he made. The border, immigration, and the wall are what hes trying to deliver on. He wasnt able to do the wall in the way he wanted it so hes trying to go at it in a different way. And back here at home in washington, we saw speaker of the house nancy pelosi already reacting to this deal, she put out a statement in part saying, President Trump<\/a> undermined americas preeminent leadership role in the world by recklessly threatening to impose tariffs. Threats are no way to negotiate foreign policy. I think youll see the criticism for this falling on two fronts. One is sort of long term reliability of the u. S. As a partner, if you make a deal, is it really a deal or will you have the rug pulled out from under you. The second is a human rights concern, because of course whether or not this plan works, whether or not this negotiation has an impact on the flow of undocumented immigrants across into the United States<\/a>, theres still going to be thousands of immigrants trying to leave guatemala and other Central American<\/a> countries because theyve determined that the conditions are so bad there that its worth risking their own lives and their childrens lives to do so. It doesnt mean theyre necessarily going to stop trying to leave. What happens in the interim with them is going to be a very real human consequence as mexico and the United States<\/a> work out the particulars of how this is actually going to work. So often left out of the conversation, what it actually means for actual human lives. Nathan, when we look at this deal, it is essentially an immigration issue that is tied to an economic goal. We saw the market react very aversely to the threat of these tariffs. Do you think the u. S. Economy has dodged a bullet on this one . I think only time will tell. But i think that the president if the president loses faith loses the voters faith in the economy then his bid for reelection is only going to get tougher. Margaret alluded to that. I think on immigration, the president believes that how he talked right before the 2018 midterm elections helped republicans do well, particularly in the senate. Now, i would argue it could have been worse because of the way he was talking. But i think the president believes that immigration was a key part of that and thats why were going to see this talk on immigration continue on up into 2020. For the economy, its important, because i think there are voters in the middle, independent, moderates, who dont like the tweets, who dont like the way the president reacts to a lot of things but they believe the economy is headed in the right direction so they have a choice to make. Margaret, what will happen if one side or the other doesnt uphold their end of the deal . At least at this point the president indicated it will be a threemonth trial period. One thing is upholding your end of the deal in terms of doing what you said you were going to do. The other is whether doing what you said you were going to do actually has the desired impact. Its important to underscore theres not union a. Animity inse white house honor on how to pro. One of the precious weighing on him was the conflicting advice and feedback he was getting from inside his administration, a lot of concerns that the tariffs, particularly if initiated and then ratcheted up as he had originally threatened, could have really long term impacts on the u. S. Economy and ability to strike international deals. So i think right now were in a trial period of a few months to see what happens. But this helps not just mexico but the president kind of dodge a short term political hit. All right. Well have to leave it there. Margaret talev, nathan gonzales, thank you very much.

Drove to pennsylvania to clear up an outstanding dui warrant. Two days later his family was told he was dead. They say his body was returned without several organs including his brain, heart, and throat, leaving them with more questions than answers. Cnns Polo Sandoval<\/a> has been following the strange story. Polo, the family is still questioning, more than a year later, these autopsy results. Reporter they do, over a year later, as you point out, alex, the family of the former Army Paratrooper<\/a> and father of two were told their father had died in a prison in york county, pennsylvania. An initial autopsy stated palmer died in an excited state during which, quote, he began hitting his head on a cell door and had to be restrained. The report shows he became agitated because of meth a. M. Fete ame methamphetamine toxicity. The manner of death was called undetermined. 14 months later the family said something doesnt add up here. Palmer had some history of drug use but not meth, according to his loved ones. The 41yearolds body was returned to the family but it wasnt until after they hired a private pathologist that they discovered the body was missing the brain, the heart, and the throat. A family attorney saying it really arent uncommon to remove organs and keep some tissue, especially if it was subjected to trauma. But as he told affiliate new york 1 here in new york, hes suspicious about the removal of his throat. It makes no sense unless youre trying to maybe avoid people knowing how he died, which is maybe by asphyxiation. Reporter palmers family is still fighting to basically get their loved ones organs back. Were being told theyre kept at an independent lab as the investigation continues. They believe once they get the organs back they could potentially reveal more about the depth. Weve reached out to multiple entities, the New York County<\/a> das office, the Pennsylvania State<\/a> police, the coroners office, alex, none of them would comment.

In this tweet the president appears to be backing off his earlier goal of putting americans back on the moon by 2024. As Brian Stelter<\/a> now explains, eight on to mars. Its on to mars. This is a bit of a flipflop for President Trump<\/a> but its a flipflop that makes space geeks very happy. They want to see america or some other country land on mars and now thats what President Trump<\/a> is emphasizing. He says, for all the money were spending, nasa shouldnt be talking about going to the moon, we did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the bigger things were doing including mars, of which the moon is a part. Its a little confusing, trump saying that the moon is part of mars. I think what i means is theres been talk among nasa researchers about returning to the moon and using that as a staged effort for a trip to mars. I spoke with apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins<\/a> who says the focus should be mars. He was quite critical of trump when i spoke with him earlier this week. Do you think President Trump<\/a> is realistic when he talks about his vision for going to mars . No. I think his vision is going back to the moon. I dont think hes too much aware of mars. Maybe he doesnt understand that there is a planet mars. Quite a jab there from a former astronaut toward President Trump<\/a>. But now trump is talking more about mars. In this new tweet, hes emphasizing thats where he wants to see nasa focusing. The question, of course, as it often is with President Trump<\/a>, is whether his tweets carry the weight and impact of policy or whether theyre just one mans opinions, in this case one very powerful mans opinions. Well see if nasa ends up commenting or making any changes as a result of the president s new statement saying he wants to focus on mars, not the moon. Brian stelter, cnn, new york. All right, our thanks to Brian Stelter<\/a>.

Hello, thanks for joining me, im Alex Marquardt<\/a> in this afternoon for fredericka whitfield. The first of the democratic president ial debates is less than three weeks away. This is a monster field of candidates. Theyre out on the campaign trail this weekend, with the bulk of them descending on the first in the nation voting state iowa. Nearly a dozen are in des moines today with many of them attending pride fest, the states largest lgbtq event. Even though the Iowa Caucuses<\/a> are eight months away, the candidates are using this time to attack President Trump<\/a> on his immigration policies. Look, there are things we need to do to manage the flow of migrants. Much of which has to do with making sure conditions are more stable in the countries theyre fleeing. You know, this idea has emerged that we have to punish these Central American<\/a> countries for sending us people. They dont want to send us people. They want to be more stable.
