news. we will get details today from chief white house correspondent john roberts on the north lawn. >> nearly six months ago, it appeared the united states and china were close to a new trade deal only to have the whole thing fall apart when china backed out. that months of crippling tariffs, for which the president was roundly criticized seem to have changed china's mind. in the oval office this afternoon with china's vice premier, president trump announced months of torturous trade negotiations have made progress. >> we have come to a very substantial phase one deal. we have come to a deal on a regular actual property, financial services, and tremendous deal for the farmers, a purchase of 40-$50 billion of agricultural products. >> china has also made the concession on currency, a particular thorn in america's inside. other testy issues like force technology transfer will be dealt with in phase two of the negotiations. while the agreement is not the copperheads of grand bargain president trump wanted, it appears to represent a retreat from the escalating tit-for-tat between the u.s. and china. >> we agreed in principle everything i mentioned, all the different points, and i don't think it should be a problem getting it papered. i think china wants it badly and we wanted too. >> in exchange for china's commitment, president trump will hold off on new tariffs that were scheduled to go in the fact on tuesday. with u.s.-china relations coming off a rolling boil, president trump turned up the heat on nato ally turkey, signing an executive order giving his treasury to

prisoner. >> the president wants to make clear it's imperative to not turkey allow a single isis fighters to escape. these are very powerful sanctions. we hope we don't have to use them, but we can shut down the turkish economy if we need to. >> at the moment, erdogan is still scheduled to meet the white house mid-november. his way out of the white house for a political rally in louisiana, president trump kept up the drumbeat of the impeachment inquiry. again, slamming house intelligence community chairman adam schiff for embellishing the president's phone call with ukrainian president

appeals, a three-judge panel upheld a ruling that the president has to turn over eight years of his tax returns to a congressional committee, actually the president's accounting firm that has to do

but thanks to the subpoena the career diplomat replied. she denied disparaging the trump administration, saying she was unfairly pushed out, "i was nevertheless incredulous the u.s. government chose

earlier today i spoke to sdf kurdish leaders inside syria. they tell me they do not want the campaign on isis to stop, they want to continue guarding these ices prisons but they need help doing so but both of those things will be difficult to do if a turkish invasion continues and they are asking for help and protection again from the u.s. >> bret: benjamin hall, thank you. the u.s. is sending

let's bring in our panel. met the continent matthew continetti, founding editor of "the washington free beacon" ," and josh paschall the politics editor >> at first glance this looks like a tremendous victory for the president. something he wanted to do since day one. he promised to do it. ip reforms are, as he says, and advanced in our trading relationship with china prayer that shows two forms, shows nonthreat area, we've been talking about delisting chinese companies from the u.s. stock market. when you put this next to the deals with korea, japan, and the u.s. mca, president trump's rewriting the rules of the global trading system and he's doing so in america's favor. >> bret: susan from the reaction on the hill. this doesn't need a hill component to it but how does that factor in? >> they had supported him generally in the china trade negotiations because for a long time, congress really wanted to address it, problems with china and their currency administration manipulation that matthew talked about. they are going to be absolutely thrilled he's actually accomplished some of those challenges. he also slowed the problem with our economy that's resulted from these trade war's. you heard the president talk about the farmers for this is a huge issue on capitol hill. 50% reduction on dairy exports under this trade war. these people are hurting, hearing from members on congress representing these places that have voted for president trump, mind you, they want a deal on this and he's accomplished that at least inform today for the question is can he maintain the details of this, the whole framework, they haven't settled on the details. what's going to happen weeks ahead when they really try to work out and dot their is and cross their ts. >> what if congress moves forward with the u.s. mca while the impeachment deal is going on are substantial. >> president trump needed good news in a pretty tumultuous week and he got it. good news for the economy, the dow was up over there are two points. it's good news for republicans. one of the areas the president has been concerned about is the midwest, iowa is a big state and ohio. joni ernst up on the ballot has been concerned about the impact of the tariffs. we at least have some progress. we have the movement towards a deal going to give a lot of reassurance to the swing voters that have been with trump on how their own economies are going. >> asked about both aspects. here's what the president said. >> china can do whatever it wants. china can do whatever they want with respect with one and a half billion dollars going to somebody. that's up to china. we do have to look into corruption but no, it hasn't been brought up. >> bret: didn't bring it up today per the president says meantime the former ambassador to ukraine yovanovitch, marie yovanovitch on capitol hill testifying on closed doors. her opening statement said among other things that come >> first of all, marie yovanovitch is one of the most highly respected ambassador as we have in the career foreign service. >> she is a democrat. she is a partisan. well documented. not somebody he was just reporting the clintons when clinton was running telling the ukrainians that clinton was going to win, but also once trump won was bad mouthing the trump administration in ukraine, to ukrainians and state department staff. >> i don't know her, she may be a wonderful woman. if you remember the phone call i had with the new president, he didn't speak favorably. >> bret: matthew, thoughts on that? >> i think this a sideshow from the main event, which is the president's phone call. there are a tendency for the democrats to go down these nooks and crannies. president trump can recall for any reason he wishes. democrats impeach donald trump, it's going to be about the phone call and whistle-blower complaint, not about the ambassador. >> i disagree with you a little bit. the democrats are trying to build a case of the president is corrupt and hiding it. trying to hide it through obstruction. >> strictly on ukraine though? they are trying to stay laser focus so far. >> according to the witnesses coming in, i think they might expand that beyond ukraine and any foreign leader he may be enlisting to help investigate joe biden and the democrats. that's what they are saying is part of his not fulfilling duties to uphold his office under the constitution. that's the argument they are making. the obstruction part is he will not cooperate with subpoenas and witnesses, that he is trying to block witnesses. watching democrats a daily basis to haul these people in the talk to members of congress, they were in the president they are building an article in the impeachment case against him based on the fact that they are not willing to cooperate and i think that's part of what the impeachment articles will look like. >> bret: is really interesting because part of this he says publicly and he said it to the reporters on the south lawn. if that's an article impeachment, the other one is obstruction preventing people from testifying or documents going up the hill. >> it's a tricky case for democrats to make but i think the politics of yovanovitch's testimony were pretty damaging because she painted a picture of an administration jeopardizing natural interest or personal interests. what democrats want to do and what pelosi wants to do is make the impeachment about national security, not about these site issues that matthew was talking about but the fact that the national security of the united states is for sale. and yovanovitch's opening statements are the only part we saw but it's pretty damning stuff in there. >> the other side is the item newness side and he's not alone in how he characterizes her time in that position. coming up next, the friday lightning round, plus candidate casino, and winners and losers. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the kind lincoln's about. ♪ thenot actors, people, who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. dupixent is a biologic, and not a cream or steroid. many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin. and, had significantly less itch. that's a difference you can feel. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaphylaxis, which is severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. if you take asthma medicines, don't change or stop them without talking to your doctor. so help heal your skin from within, and talk to your eczema specialist about dupixent. beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcasre in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. >> bret: >> i don't believe we y in the middle east indefinitely but a abandoning the kurds who fought shoulder to shoulder with our troops against isis is morally wrong. >> we have not abandoned the kurds. let me be clear about that. nobody green-lighted this operation by turkey, just the opposite. we pushed back very hard for the turks to not commit this operation. speak with defense secretary at the pentagon and you heard the senate minority leader. start there, josh? >> i think this is a very tough time for the trump white house number one on this issue because first of all republicans are openly criticizing on the president, what happened was turkey felt there was a single thing they could do without pushback. called for sanctions to be in place but they haven't put the sanctions in place, they put the threat out there. i think also it's kind of a bipolar foreign policy because you have the sondland saying they are going countering and raining expansionism but they took away the 50-100 troops serving as a buffer between turkey and the kurds. a lot of mixed messages coming from the white house. >> only a few dozen troops from the border, still about a thousand there total so they haven't changed the total number there. the president is doing exactly what he said he would do when he campaign which is take our military out of these endless wars in the middle east. as you say, he went and sent 1500 more to saudi arabia, just giving fuel to the democrats and republicans in congress who are really upset with our relationship with saudi arabia. what are you doing if you want to and make the endless wars, why are you sending troops to saudi arabia who don't deserve our help? he's not winning many fans for his foreign policy on capitol hill. >> bret: one word in one region of the buildup is iran, 14,000 added since may, 3,000 extended, authorized last month for that's what it's about. >> to date has yet to deter iran's maligned behavior. wanting to prevent isis from forming and military endangers both interest and now it's endangering our troops. a cease-fire needs to be a priority. >> bret: we are going to do this quickly. we are heading down to candidate casino. $100 in chips. you've got to beth. democratic primary. matthew? >> i'm spreading the risk. this week, i am spending $30 on biden, $30 on warren, and $40 on the field. >> i've got $40 on biden, $40 on warren, but i agree we could see a wild card outside of the field. >> bret: it's possible. winners and losers?
