Is here to analyze the fallout. First, President Trump and the head of the European Commission went toetotoe, eye to eye today in an increasingly hostile financial environment. As our own neil cavuto said today, youre up blank. President trump says the u. S. And the e. U. Will work towards zero tariffs as part of a major new agreement. Europe also increasing its purchase of American Energy and agriculture products. This is being characterized as a major win for the president tsai. Correspondent peter doocy starts this off with details. Good evening, bret. The president has been trying to reassure americans affected by the bubbling trade or that any pain they are feeling is only temporary and today americans hoping for a better deal with europe only had to wait a couple of hours for promising and surprising news. This was a very big day for free and fair trade. Thats because President Trump and the European Commission president Jeanclaude Juncker did a 180 on public threats of increasin
Is in the hard hit city of panama city. Matt bradley is in the states capitol in tallahassee. Let me start with you, kerry. First of all, what are we seeing in panama city right now . Reporter let me just sort of paint the picture. You see this boat turned up on its edge, and you can see in the background an entire debris field. What im going to do is take you out here to really show the power of this hurricane, and i suspect likely, although this is yet to be confirmed, a tornado. Let me step back here and just sort of look up at this boat warehouse here that was completely ripped and torn apart. Now, if you come with me, lets go down, and you can actually peek inside to get an idea of, there was no storm surge here. This was all wind damage. Remember, we have gusts clocked a the t at top speed of 155 miles an hour. Some of the boats still on the rack, the twists and turns, the roof here that is off. Then as we go even further down, and were going to walk out and around some of the de
Democrats. It is day 20 of the partial Government Shutdown which yesterdays white house shutdown not only didnt showdown rather didnt solve, but it may have pushed a compromise further out of sight. Doesnt look like a lot of progress coming. The president s day trip to mcallen, texas, may turn out to be more than the photo op he reportedly called it this week. If he decides to fund the border barrier by taking the rare step of declaring a National Emergency. Thats not at all clear, but for what its worth the white House Counsel is due to travel with the president today. That is certainly unusual. In congress, a number of republican senators arent yet willing to give up on a deal. That brings us to manu raju. I know you have been following this and talking to the players here. They want to make a deal. Does a deal have a snowballs chance, i guess, is the question. Reporter great question. Its one we cannot answer at this point. We do know talks between the leadership and the white house
President trump could declare a National Emergency to build a border wall, but when the news drops, it took the halls of congress. As the white house taking a microscope to the senate failed, a announcement from majority leader mitch mcconnell. I would say to all my colleagues, indicated he is prepared to sign a bill. Hes also going to declare a National Currency declaration at the same time. The announcement may go to the threat he said he would prefer not to use but leveled little choice after receiving the text of a bill that fell well short of what he wanted. In a statement, the press secretary says hes taking the Emergency Action to ensure we stop the National Security and humanitarian crisis at the border. The president is once again delivering on his promise to build a wall, protect the border, and secure our great country. In a joint statement, the speaker of the house and senator Chuck Schumer said, declaring a National Security would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the pow
Lots in the news. The democrat led House Judiciary Panel holding an empty chair hearing today. Chairman jerry nadler warned don mcgahn may be held in contempt for failing to appear. Doug collins said nadlers move is all about politics. Chairman nadler vowing democrats will go to court to enforce the subpoena. Watch it. Mr. Mcgahn did not present today because the president did not allow it. We will go to court to secure it. We will hold this president accountable, one way or the other. Special counsel closed up shop without having democrats anything to deliver to their base. Now the democrats are trying to make something out of nothing. Cameras love a spectacle. Majority loves chance to rant against the administration. Im glad we dont have chicken on the dias today. Harris he said democrats dont get a do over on the mueller investigation. The decision to block mcgahn is about testifying the executive branch. As i understand it, they are doing that to protect the office of the presidenc
