Being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries. As with our predecessors, when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies, we have stood together and acted together. But out on the streets of london, the mood was anything but friendly as protesters played whistles and blue whistles and called dump trump and the president said they never saw that. And there is is a reason. The police blocked protests from passing the street. But it wasnt just politics, also the recent tariff threat against mexico. Just a reminder, the tariff which would go into effect in just six days would slap a 5 penalty on anything from food to cars, and then increase by 5 every month until hitting that max of 25 in october. So to our White House Correspondent abby phillip we go. Shes live in london. So abby, were hearing behind the scenes that republicans are trying to find a way to block those tariffs on mexico. Reporter that is right, brooke. We have to first start by letting everybody know that tariffs are typically not something that republicans are in favor of. Typically they are for free trade and so President Trump now starting to veer toward tariffs on a number of different fronts is becoming increasingly alarming to capitol hill republicans. And not only that, but in this case hes using tariffs as a threat against mexico in order to deal with a completely separate problem which is immigration. But when President Trump was asked about that possibility today at a press conference in london, he was pretty dismiss of idea that republicans might be able to stop him. This will take effect next week. And what 5 . And what do you think of republicans who say they make take action to block you imposing those tariffs. I dont think they will do that. If they do, it is foolish. There is nothing more important than borders. I think it is likely that the tariffs go on and well talk during the time that the tariffs are on and theyre going to be paid. Reporter so the tariffs are expected to go into place in just a few days. At 5 and then they will increase 5 every month until mexico acts in a way that trump thinks is appropriate but he has not specified what that is. The problem for republican senators is the idea that the president is using emergency authorities to impose tariffs for noneconomic issues and that is why theyve been deliberating. Some kind of resolution of disapproval that could stop him but President Trump seems clear today that he thinks the tariffs are an appropriate measure to take and thinks there is an economic benefit. He said companies will come from mexico back to the United States and that mexico is going to stop taking advantage of the United States. So well see how this all works out. But it seems that President Trump is pretty set on the idea that these tariffs are going into place. What mexico has been doing over the last several days which has been to take steps so increase enforcement and that is not enough in President Trumps view and he hasnt said exactly what will be enough to prevent him from taking those steps which is as you pointed out could affect every single American Products all across the board that come from mexico, one of the largest trading partners, brooke. Cars, parts, you name it. Abby phillip, thank you very much in london. And while the President Trump is talking tough on mexico, his outlook is much rosier when it comes to trade with the u. K. And the u. K. Makes preparations to exit the European Union, the United States is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u. S. And the u. K. There is tremendous potential in that trade deal. And then on the issue of brexit, trump heaped praise on Prime Minister may when he said she didnt listen to advice on how to handle it. I still believe, i personally believe, it is in the best interest of the u. K. To leave the European Union with a deal and i remember the president suggesting that i sue the European Union, which we didnt do and went into negotiations and came out with a good deal. Yeah. That is not such i would have sued, but thats okay. I would have sued and settled maybe. But you never know. Shes probably a better negotiator than i am. Perhaps you wont be given the credit that you deserve if they do something. But i think you deserve a lot of credit. Cnn royal commentator Kate Williams is a historian and lecturer at the university of london and james boyce is from Political Studies and the author of a ton of books, welcome to both of you. And you think of trump and theresa may and what a difference a year makes, right . He insults her when hes there a year ago and now you watch the two of them, kate, first to you, and as we would say, its warm and fuzzies. What did you think of that . Yeah. Very warm and fuzzy. In general President Trump has been on his best behavior during this trip so far and you think he might have possibly patted the queen but apart from that he has been surprisingly polite we found. But certainly this was a big sort of it was rather a lovein. Very emotional and a lot of Mutual Respect and mutual praise and very interesting because obviously mr. Trump has talked a lot about the importance of brexit and the importance of just doing it which theresa may approach to brexit was much more cautious and now no longer with us in terms of Prime Minister and shell be replaced with someone else. You probably Boris Johnson is in the front returning for that. Mr. Trump has praised him very high lie and also praised nigel ferrer who is leading the charge for a hard brexit against the conservative party so on one hand mr. Trump was loveydovey to an extent with miss may. There is talk about the phenomenal relationship and the extraordinary relationship and great words, but really there is a difference in the words and the actions. The word might be praising miss may, the words may praise her approach and negotiations but in terms of actions hes throwing his lot in with the hard who want us out of the European Union asap and the queen talked about the importance of institution but the president takes a rather different view. Lets jump in on brexit. James, three years ago president obama sparked sharp criticism when he warned that brexit would put the u. K. In the back of the cue with a trade deal with the u. S. And fast forward to today, brexit has to happen. How is that being received . Well, it is interesting, isnt it. And it is the exact point i would raise. For the last 24, 36 hours weve been hearing all kind of naysayers suggesting that this is the end of the special relationship because of donald trump and yet we have that very warm press conference that kate rightly referred to in which trump gives the ultimate accolade. Perhaps your a better negotiator than i am, from the art of the deal maestro. Quite extraordinary. They both want to move forward in getting a trade deal struck. Of course were in a hiatus at this point. The United Kingdom cant start moving forward in threshing out details until were out of the European Union. But when that happens, of course, it is remarkable to hear the idea that donald trump doesnt favor great relationship with the United Kingdom and when you contrast his words with those of barack obama, it is quite a stark contrast, i think. And its in both peoples interest, the United States and Great Britain to have this new bilateral trade agreement. And james, Boris Johnson, a potential next Prime Minister and people was watching to see if they meet and boris declined a meeting with the president and saying he had a preplanned event and do you think that is a wise move. It is an interesting move. We do know the president has met with leading lights in the Brexit Movement this evening. Including nigel feradge and duncan smith and others. So for Boris Johnson to decline the meeting is remarkable. Most people if asked to meet the president would have canceled everything, quite frankly. Right. So i think what hes done is try to clear the deck so that he cant be accused of being the president s poodle, dare i say it. President s poodle. Havent heard that one. Kate, back over to you. The results of the ongoing feud between trump and the mayor of london sadiq khan and that is trump at todays News Conference on that. I dont think he should be criticizing a representative of the United States that could do so much good for the United Kingdom. We talked about it before. He should be positive, not negative. Hes a negative force, not a positive force. And if you look at what he said, he hurts the people of this great country. And i think he should actually focus on his job. It could be a lot better if he did that. He could straighten out some of the problems that he has and probably some of the problems that hes caused. Prior to those comments, mayor khan had this to say about trump when he talked to our chief international constituent clarisa ward. You know, this is sort of what you expect from an 11yearold. For him to decide, it is not for me to respond and i think it is ben beneath me to do childish tweets and name calling. Are you offended. Not in the slightest. People tells me nothing this president does surprises you. So kate, you have the u. S. President going after the london mayor but doesnt this all in the end elevate mayor khan. Is this something that hes enjoying . I think certainly it is put him on a bigger world stage. But really there has been a long history of animosity between President Trump and mayor khan. There has been a long a long really history of disagreement, a long history of argument and certainly i think mr. Trump does blame mr. Khan for the fact that the trump blimp balloon, the giant balloon in the shape of a baby trump was allowed to fly over london. So really, i think weve seen mr. Trump do his best, i think, to be on his best behavior in terms of tweets and what he said. He even suggested he didnt say what he said what he supposed to say about Meghan Markle but the only person hes really going all guns blazing on is mayor khan. He is someone that i feel trump feels he can do because the people in the government and other people might have more power, we dont know at the moment who is going to be Prime Minister next. So he doesnt know who he can offend and who he cant offend. But i think there is it is a difficult relationship between the two of them and certainly the main debate i think at the moment has beenthe discussion of the trade deal you talked about of where the National Health service will fit into that because mr. Trump and the American Ambassador have said the nhs should be on the table and finance ministers have disagreed so there are disagreements and im surprised mr. Khan hasnt weighed in on the hs conversation and there is no love lost and dont expect any particular meeting between the two of them when they get on terribly well. You mentioned the baby trump blimp, well talk to a protest behind that coming up in a little bit. James and kate, for now, thank you very much for coming on. Back here at home, with a couple of weeks until the first democratic primary debate, a new cnn poll released this morning shows joe biden Still Holding his lead as the clear frontrunner. He is down just a smidge, 7 points since he launched his campaign in april. And Bernie Sanders is at 18 . And Kamala Harris at 8 . Elizabeth warren and the mayor Pete Buttigieg and former congressman beto orourke rounding out the top six. Now moments ago, joe biden responded after some of his rivals slammed his decision to skip a Party Convention in california over the past weekend. So we go straight to Arlette Saenz our cnn political reporter who covers all all things joe biden. What did he tell you. Reporter over the weekend you have democratic contenders out in california and joe biden wasnt there because he was very much on their minds. Several of them taking veiled swipes at the former vice president. Either for not attending those events or for his approach to politics so far. And as he was finishing his event here in berlin, new hampshire, i caught up with him on the rope line and asked about that criticism. Take a listen to what he had to say. What do you think the democrats that took swipes you at in california see you around. There is one who Bernie Sanders [ inaudible ]. Hes going back to the past. Look, i understand. I dont blame them. They have to theyre good folks. But as i said, see you around. Now biden has largely refrained from engaging with his democratic rivals. Saying that hes going to save that for the debates just a month away. But one thing biden did talk about here with voters was he said that hes not trying to go back to the past, that hes trying to avoid a terrible future and he once again stressed the importance of consensus and returning to bipartisan cooperation. That is something that some of his rivals have kind of challenged him on over the past few weeks. Now biden was here in berlin as he unveiled his Climate Change plan which he has faced criticism in recent weeks from candidates saying that he might not be progressive or go far enough with his plan. Biden laying that out here for voters today. And well see if the plan satisfies some of his critics, brooke. Arlet, thank you.

In the latest act of stonewalling, House Democrats, cnn has learned the Trump Administration has ordered hope hicks not to turn over any documents to the time in the white house. The committee set a deadline for today. Cnn senior Congressional Correspondent manu raju is up on capitol hill. And you tell me first, how are democrats responding to the latest move. Reporter the chairman jerry nadler told me today if these subpoenas ultimately are not complied with, not just for documents but for testimony, that those two individuals, those former officials could also be held in contempt of congress.

Now the white house said that the
