Escalate a trade war with china and threatening to hit france with a tariff on wine. I dont want them doing anything having to do with taxing unfairly our companies. Those are Great American companies, and frankly, i dont want france going out and taxing our companies. Very unfair. And if they do that, well be taxing their wine or doing something else. Well be taxing their wine like theyve never seen before. Cnns senior White House Correspondent pamela brown joins us now from southern france. Pam, trump and macron have already met this morning over lunch. What more can you tell us about any further discussions and maybe even a comment or two in response to what the president is talking about threatening these tariffs on wine . Reporter yeah, thats right. Its interesting because just before leaving washington, the president had those stern words for president macron as saying that he will impose a tariff on french wine and perhaps other french goods in response to the digital tax. But t
Discussing the purchase of greenland, ill be postponing our meeting scheduled for two weeks for another time. Prime minister was able to save a greet deal of expense and effort for both the United States and denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look toward to re forward to rescheduling some time in the future. She says greenland is not for sale and calls conversations about selling absurd. Lets discuss now and talk about this, former nato supreme ally commander general wesley clark who is a perfect person to have on to discuss. Thank you, sir. Give me your reaction to postponing this trip to denmark. Well, its just a way to try to slap down the Prime Minister of denmark, i suppose, but it doesnt say much about the subtlety or about the treejstra vision. We have a lot of common interest with denmark. If we really are worried about the arctic then theres ways to work with denmark and greenland to strengthen nato presence in the arctic, we have to work with nato. We also g

Weekend in france. Responding to a retaliatory move by china earlier today, the president tonight declared hes hiking tariffs on beijing, raising existing rates as well as those set to kick in next month. It comes after china announced this morning theyre imposing a new round of tariffs on 75 billion worth of american goods. The news was met with outrage at the white house where the president took to twitter and attempted to order all American Companies to cut their ties with china. All American Companies. No more trade with china. Of course, thats ridiculous. Trump tweeted we dont need china and frankly we would be better off without them.

He doubled down on the antisemetic trope on tuesday when he said democrats who support in my opinion, you vote for a democrat, youre being disloyal to jewish people and very disloyal to israel.
