Dows is down 22, s p down 5 and a quarter, nasdaq down 16 and three quarters. Well, the president reportedly pulling back on an order to strike iran. So why would he change his mind and what should he do next . And forget big brother. Amazon has its own plans to keep an eye on you. Youre watching fbn a. M. Private eyes, theyre watching you.

Lauren tensions with iran escalating, a report that the Trump Administration made preparations for strikes on iran last night in retaliation for the downing of a u. S. Drone but called off the operation. We bring in gil berndale and phil flynn, a fox business contributor. Gil, why the aboutface . I think the president has been pretty consistent the last few days and has seemed to have real reticence about a fullblown war with iran, about launching into real military action, absent a greater provocation than what weve seen so far. Lauren we saw an aboutface a little bit on the price of oil, on that report. We really did. I think that what were seeing from that is the market is concerned about whats going to happen in this part of the world and this is a very important choke point for oil. It could have a major impact on the global economy. And i think President Trump, even though he pulled back from a military strike, doesnt mean that the United States isnt going to act somehow. He might just do it smarter and more effectively and by doing so, reduce the tensions of a conflict that could actually have a bad impact on the global economy. Lauren what is really, phil, moving the price of oil now . Is it whats going on in iran . Or is it this trade, Global Demand issue . Yeah, its a combination of everything. I dont think you can just throw out the iran situation, even though the u. S. Is the biggest producer in the world right you now. It still is a global commodity, its still going to have an impact. Theres a lot of other things going on here right now. A couple weeks ago we were telling the world that the u. S. Is going into a recession, the worlds going into recession and everybody wag doom and gloom about u. S. China trade deal, it wasnt going to get often and everybody was gettin get bearisn demand. Prices went down, demand spiked up. Looks like we could get a u. S. China deal. Whats interesting is you have the Federal Reserve talking about cutting Interest Rates next month. Then of course youve got europe cutting Interest Rates. China adding stimulus to the system to react to a h slowdown that may not happen. Thats going to be explosive for oil demand and i think trade is starting to get that. Lauren it feels like everything is kind of at this boiling point. We have the g20 next week. Were t waiting on what the u. S. Response to iran will be. What are some of our options for retaliation here . I think we can respond in a more calibrated way. There are options that arent military options. Lauren like what . We can talk about cyber, we can talk about reacting to iranian proxies in lieu of actual Iranian Forces, things we can do inside the country in terms of stirring descent and other options. There are a lot of economic levers, information levers and other things we can do in the region, short of actually launching strikes on Iranian Forces and the escalation that follows from that. Lauren is it necessary that we respond . If we dont respond, does that send the wrong message to other adversaries, russia, north korea, even china . I think sometimes that idea of american credibility gets used to drive us down paths we would rather not go. This idea that we have to constantly display strength. People are under no allusions about american strength and even american resolve as well. So i think responding to a calibrated provocation and overdoing it, a disproportionate response i think is not going to im press people impress people. Lauren the New York Times article that reported we were preparing the attack, pulled back at the last minute, i found it interesting that no Government Official said hold this report, dont go forward with this report and the message that that sends, what is that message, essentially, that we want to send . But of course the market and certainly the oil market is looking at all this. Ill let you wrap it up here with us, phil. I think so too. I also think it shows the strength of president donald trump. He has a lot of hawks in his administration, probably recommending a strike. He held back. It shows that hes still in control. Lauren got it. Phil, gil, thank you very much. And look at that, your names rhyme. Thank you. Lauren happy friday, gentlemen. Cheryl all right. Lets take a look at your friday futures. See how i did that. Pretty good, right . Dow is down 20, s p up 5 and three quarters, nasdaq down 16. Remember june has been a really solid month for stocks. Well see how today shakes out. Also still ahead, chinas president holding another summit with kim jong un. This time in north korea. Why some say xijinping has other motives to visit the rogue regime.

Cheryl canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Trump meeting at the white house for talks on the revamped north american trade deal yesterday, coming together to push for passage of the usmca which so far only mexico has ratified. Its the largest trade deal, by far, ever entered into. Were very close to having phi finalizing. Were really competing against the world. Were not competing with each other so much. Cheryl the trade agreement faces an uphill battle on capitol hill where nancy pelosi says the Trump Administration is moving too quickly. Lets bring in Clark Packard of r street institute. Good morning. Good morning. Cheryl did you have any hopes . Were you more hopeful we would get the usmca being ratified after yesterday. True dough met with President Trump and trudeau met with President Trump and several other congressional lawmakers about getting usmca through. I think this is the president s top priority right now. I think ambassador lighthizer is doing a good job, reaching out to democrats, trying to make the case for the agreement and trying to come to some sort of consensus and they know that changes need to be made and they seem to be willing to make those changes. Cheryl all right. So changes need to be made. Thats what nancy pelosi says. Remember that democrats are getting pushback from union leaders, im thinking about Richard Trumka in particular. They want to make sure mexico enforces agreements when it comes to how they treat and how they pay labor south of the border. U. S. Union leaders worry more jobs to go to mexico. I i think that that has always been overblown argument. It doesnt shock me that Richard Trumka and the labor unions are bent out of shape about this. I think ultimately i do think that this agreement gets done and, again, theres going to be compromises made. Maybe youll see something on environmental issues, on pharmaceuticals, trying to lower pharmaceutical prices. A number of issues where i think theres going to be some sort of consensus between democrats and republicans in the administration. Cheryl speaking of trade, interesting pictures coming out this week. Were seeing president xijinping walking alongside of kim jong un in north korea. Of course, the g20 is next week. Many investors are looking ahead to that meeting. Do you think that president xi had ulterior motives to meet with the north korean leader. Is this going to help him do you think with an edge over President Trump when they finally talk . Its really tough for me to say and try to get in the mind of xijinping. But look, i think that the u. S. china relationship is the most important geo strategic relationship in the world right now.
