Import tariffs. How are the markets reacting this morning . Good morning. On a monumental day perhaps, welcome to early start. Im dave biggs. Im christine romans. 4 00 a. M. In the east, 5 30 p. M. In pyongyang. Up first, trump accept agoffer to meet kim jongun setting up what could be the diplomatic summit of the century expected to happen by may. Kim extending the invitation through a delegation that visited the white house on thursday. President confirming in a tweet the meeting is in the, would saying a commitment by north korea to discuss denuclearization was the catalyst to move forward. The announcement took everyone by surprise including the pentagon. If it materializes, mr. Trump would become the first sitting u. S. President to ever meet with his north korean counterpart. There has never been a phone call between the two. Historic. Andrew stevens tracking the latest for us live from seoul. Good morning. What is the reaction in the region . Reporter well, the reaction in the region as christine just said was absolutely miraculous. Near miraculous according to the south korean president moon jaein. It really is. Here in seoul this is this palpable relief that the south korean government managed to get this over line. Its always been about a meeting between the u. S. And north korea. Theres also going to be a summit between the two Korean Leaders. This is the really big one. There is relief here but also tempered with realism. Interestingly, we had japan, the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe was speaking. Abe says weve got to continue to put this maximum pressure on. This had economic noose around north korea stays while we lead up to and during these negotiations till we see some concrete movement about that plan agreed also by the u. S. , also by south korea. The sanctions all stay in place. The australians are saying we hope that theres good faith in these negotiations but we have been down this path before. North korea has spoken, has tried to speak, tried to do deals. They ended in failure. North korea didnt get further towards denuclearization. Its going to take something extraordinary to push it beyond that into when you consider in recent weeks, there was talk of a military strike on the north. There was talks of the north selling chemical weapons to syria to finance their nuclear program. Then consider the history of statements between these two world leaders. Take a listen. Theres a 10 or a 20 chance that i can talk him out of those damn nukes because who the hell wants him to have nukes. North korea, best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself. And for his regime. Are you willing to engage in phone talks with kim jongun right now . Sure. Of course, kim jongun had his insults for president , dotard among the many things. Can these two erratic leaders put aside hair differences . When you see those clips there, it makes you realize what a monumental move in this is what, a complete flip this is on both sides. Trump prides himself on the art of the deal. This is not personal, this is business. This is the way hes seen his dealing with kim jongun. Kim jongun its been said the reason is that these sanctions are hurting. Hes looking at his own legacy. He wants to be seen as a statesman, as a world leader who can meet donald trump on the world stage. Remember, his father and his grandfather wanted to meet u. S. President s. It never happened. This time it is going to happen. But there is an ocean between them when it comes to what theyre going to actually agree to because is the u. S. Really going to give up its alliance with south korea . Is it going to move troops off the south Korean Peninsula . Is it going to withdraw its nuclear shield of this region . This is what the north koreans have always wanted. To get some sort of deal is kim jongun prepared to take unilateral steps to actually start dismantling something seen to be the core of the jooim survival. So massive gulf between the two. But there is talks. Yeah, one of the reasons weve never done this is because it would legitimize the north Korean Leader by being in the room with the president of the United States. Like you said, many questions. Well check with you again next half hour. Andrew stevens, thanks. President trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum imparts are now reality. A 25 tariff on steel, 10 on aluminum in two weeks. Canada and mexico are exempt for now. The move is rattling u. S. Allies and laying bare fault lines within the gop. President framed it as keeping a campaign practice. He blames the trade practices for the decline of american manufacturing. American steel aluminum industry has been ravaged by aggressive Foreign Trade practices. Its really ar assault on our country. Its been an assault. The president is using an obscure provision to impose tariffs but excluding canada and mexico in nafta negotiations could undercut that National Security rationale.

This is gary cohns last meeting in the cabinet and of the cabinet and hes been terrific. He may be a globalist but i still like him. He is seriously a globalist. Theres mo question. In his own way, hes a nationalist because he loves our country. And where is gary . You love our country. I do. Hes going to maybe come back. He might come back, right . Absolutely. Well be here another seven years hopefully. Thats a long time. I have a feeling youll be back. Trump says if cohn does po come back, he would not return to the same position because hes not strong on tariffs. That doesnt bode well for larry cud well and other traders being considered to replace cohn. The white house has faced to provide details about rob porter security clearance fiasco.
