Bret john roberts, just after 11 00 p. M. London time. Lets talk about the president s trip and whats happening in washington. Senior political analyst brit hume joins us. Your thoughts about this. All of the uproar and obviously the pomp and circumstance of the moment. The state visits involving these two countries really arent about the personalities. They really are about the relationship with this country thats been so close to us for so long, really since the american revolution. We have stood together through thick and thin, triumphantly through the dark days and the victory in world war ii and thats part of whats going to be commemorative this week, as it should be. Thats what the ceremony really is about. Donald trump may not be i doubt very seriously of donald trump is the favorite of the queen but she spoke as she did and welcomed him for the same reason he spoke about her. The relationship is bigger than any of the stuff. The mayor of london, whose popularity is down, he takes trump on and bites and bites back. Similarly with Jeremy Corbyn. Politicians do what politicians do. This relationship goes on. Bret the president is a counterpunch or, as we have said. The brexit vote that was a preamble almost to the donald trump vote that spoke to Something Else was happening, this populism. There is an uprising that transcends our country invaders. Its happening a lot of places. Donald trump is certainly a result of that. To some extent, the cause. More a result. The strain that it causes is reflected. Strikingly, set aside by the people that mattered for the purposes of this visit, and thats a good thing. Bret they are talking about trade when the u. S. And u. K. Meantime, we have the mexico situation and the possibility of tariffs if mexico or the president doesnt deal with the illegal immigration situation.

Bret you could read between there that its not the best economics in his answer. The most cheerful man probably in the world. I dont think he is a big fan of tariffs. Tariffs seem to have emerged as a weapon of choice for president for all causes. Economic reasons and now for Border Control reasons. The consequences is the fact is in the fire with china and mexico. The fact is in the fire, not because of tariffs but in his dealings with north korea. The president has a lot going. A lot of pots on the stove and all of them may come up just fine. Theres a lot of risk ahead and use either risk and the anxiety it causes reflected in the behavior of the stock market.

The foreign minister warned escalating tariffs would cause pain on both sides of the border and could have unintended consequences. Translator tariffs could cause financial and economic instability which means that mexico could reduce its capacity to address the migration flows. President trump is backing down, tweeting as a sign of good faith, mexico should stop people and drugs to the southern border. They can do it if they want. Mick mulvaney warned yesterday President Trump isnt laughing. I fully expected tariffs to go to at least the 5 level on june 10th.
