CNNW CNN Newsroom With Brooke Baldwin June 7, 2019

A high delegation from mexico has been in talked in washington, d. C. For the last three days and cnn learned the talks, quote, did not end well last night. This is all despite the fact that mexico has offered to send 6,000 troops to its southern border with guatemala but the white house said the negotiations are far from over. I think were encouraged that mexico came prepared to put solutions on the table. But on wednesday i think we felt that they were wholly insufficient. They were a step forward but insufficient. As negotiations continued yesterday, we were more encouraged they came forward with some of the things we put on the table wednesday to say they were open to that. But there is a long way to go still. That is the bottom line. So, lets go straight to the white house to my colleague jeremy diamond. And jeremy, any sign the president wont be imposing the tariffs on mexico . Reporter you know, it really seems unclear at this point, brooke. Were guesting a lot of different mixed messages from the administration. On the one hand, were hearing from a source familiar that last night the talks did not end well. At the same time you heard maurk short touting progress but still a way before a deal is reached. Lets see what the president is saying. He just tweeted about it in the last hour on air force one back to washington. If were able to make a deal with mexico, and there is a good chance they will, they will begin purchasing farm and Agricultural Products at high levels and if were unable to make the deal mexico will begin paying the tariffs at the 5 tariff on monday. And today the president does have to sign the executive order by the end of the day in order for the tariffs to be implo imposed and tariffed on monday which he said at the 5 level. But it is possible the president could sign that and over the weekend roll it back if, indeed, there is a deal. But a lot still in flux but those negotiations are continuing between u. S. And mexican delegations. Let me ask you about the jobs numbers that came out today, just 75,000 new jobs in the month of may. What is the white houses response to that. Reporter it certainly is a concerning indicator, especially when you look at trade issues going on between the u. S. And china and between the u. S. And mexico. Now potentially as well. The white house is putting on a brave face saying overall the economy is doing well and touting the months of job growth in previous months. But again this could be a concerning indicator when you look at the manufacturer index at the lowest level since october of 2016. So there are some signs that the president s trade spats with various countries particularly the ongoing spat with china could be taking a toll on the u. S. Economy. Brooke. Jeremy diamond, thank you very much. And back to the mexico tariff deadline, as the deadline nears, a Business Group is putting the pressure on trump. The u. S. Chamber of commerce has the back of ahundred associations as they plan to inform the white house of this, quote, imposing unilateral tariffs on mexico and the usmca is the trade agreement with mexico and canada to replace nafta and neal bradley is the chief policy officer at the u. S. Chamber of commerce. So neal, welcome, nice to have you on. Thanks for having me. So the chamber said that the Trump Administration has to must abandon this policy. You tell me why. Well, you were just talking about it. The jobs report this morning, 75,000 jobs, well below what we all anticipated, what we like to see. The imposition of these tariffs, the threat of tariffs is already dampening the economy and if we went forward and implements the tariffs it would be devastating to the economy. Here is one statistic for you. Small businesses are the engine of job creation in the United States. Of the importers that would pay the new 5 tariffs on monday if they go forward, 40 of those who would pay the tariffs are Small Businesses with less than 50 employees each. We cant afford to do that to americas Small Businesses. We cant afford to do it to our economy. And so when you say this to the white house what do they say back . Well, theyre focused on a different problem and unrelated trade problem. And theyre right to focus on it. We do have a crisis at the southern border and they simply say this is the tool they have available. Were trying to steer them away from tariffs to other tools. Can you also just explain that specifically when the chamber has said a 17 billion tax hit would be a result of these mexico tariffs, who would be paying for that . Business owners or consumers . Both. All of us. Right. So in some instances it is a business importing something into a finished product so auto manufacturers all over the United States import parts from mexico that go into the plants so that the automaker would pay the tax first and then ultimately the consumer would pay it on the car in the car show parking lot. All of us who go buy avocados or tequila for summertime margaritas well pay that tax because were paying the tax. And youre speaking to the people when you say tequila. I mentioned the Chamber Statement about the usmca and i was asking what kind of pushback you were getting from the white house. Have you or the chamber spoken to President Trump directly and what is the sense you get as the deadline is this is hours away from being signed. Yeah, we have talked to the white house extensively since thursday night. Were in Constant Contact with them. Jeremy said it earlier best, it is unclear. There are mixed signals coming out of the white house and were waiting to see what the president decides to do this evening. What are you doing in terms of congress . Getting senators to build a vetoproof majority to stop this. We have been in contact with republicans and democrats in the house and senate explaining w t we see as the consequences of the tariffs on their respective states and urging them to speak up and contract the white house themselves. Do you think those certain republicans will speak up . I think they already are. So we saw reports earlier this week out of the Senate Republican lunch where there was no support expressed for these tariffs and frankly a lot of concern. Neil bradley with the u. S. Chamber of commerce. Thank you. Now to an extraordinarily close in International Waters. What officials call a near collision as a russian destroyer almost slammed into a u. S. Guided missile cruiser in the philippine sea. Russias Pacific Fleet is denying the account claiming the American Ship instigated the whole thing and it happened in the east china sea. Pay attention with me as we look at video here to the wake created by this russian ship. So two Navy Officials tell cnn it could only come from a steep turn at high speed. So you saw it there. This mornings provocation is actually the Fourth Military confrontation between the u. S. And russian in just the past couple of days. Cnn National Security analyst sean turner is the former Communications Director for u. S. National intelligence. So sean, welcome back to you. And of course i want to ask you about these confrontations as a whole. But first, just your reaction to what the navy is calling a provocation from russia . Yeah, you know, look, this was an absolutely startling provocation on the part of the russians. As you pointed out, it is not unusual for the russians to be provocative, for the Russian Military to engage with the u. S. Military both at sea and in the air. But what is particularly startling about this engagement is that you had a u. S. Navy ship that was involved in active operations to recover helicopters at sea. And so for this vessel to approach at that speed clearly violating the Maritime International law of staying a thousand feet away put the sailors on that ship but also the military personnel fry flying the helicopters at risk. Barbara starr points to and well play the video and you could see the russian sailors, her word sun bathing. You see these guys. So is this obviously provocative and nefarious or just being negligent . Yeah, you know, i think it is probably a little bit of all of the above. Clearly those individuals who were laying out on the deck and sun bathing and just going about their day, it is pretty clear that they were not aware of what was happening at the time. But the aggression that weve seen with some more senior members of the Russian Military is an aggression that has not been kept in check. Certainly by the russian government, certainly by vladimir putin. And so i think that it is a case in which whether it is an error or in air or at sea, russian soldiers are and the troops are not phased by this. Clearly, though, there was an understanding on the part of this russian vessel that this that this american vessel was engaged in active military ops so from that perspective this makes this a startling provocation. A former commander called actions like this harassment but two of the months incidents were the u. S. Intercepting russian planes. Do you think the harassment goes both ways or is it an act of deterrence . Well you have to look at what the purpose of these engagements are. If the u. S. Engages with a russian aircraft, oftentimes it is because the russian aircraft is not where it is supposed to be or approaching an area that is patrolled by the United States. And so you see these engagements in which the United States attempts to communicate clearly with the russians theyre not in an air they should be operating in. On the other hand, when you look at the video and the more recent provocations on the part of the russians, you have u. S. Vessels operating in International Waters or operating in International Air space and you have russian vessels approaching them and often times what we have to look at here is the clear violation. With regard to maritime vessels, it is a thousand yards and certainly in the air there are rules with regard to how far the aircraft are supposed to stay away from each other and the rules about the communication. So i think there is a different purpose with regard to when russia is doing it versus the United States doing it. Sean turner, youve been excellent. Thank you very much.

That is the latest insult from President Trump hurled at the speaker of the house nancy pelosi. People like nancy pelosi, that honestly they dont know what the hell theyre talking about. I think shes a disgrace. Shes incapable of doing deals. Shes a nasty vindictive horrible person. Nasty. Apparently it is the adjective of choice for this president in describing man but in particular women. Nancy pelosi, meghan markle, kamala harris, april ryan, carmen cruz, hillary clinton. Watch. Well she was probably very nasty. A little bit of a nasty wit. The same thing with april ryan, i watch her get up, i mean, you talk about somebody that is a loser. She doesnt know what the hell shes doing. My Social Security payroll c contribution will go up, assuming he cant figure out how to get out of it. But we want to replenish such a nasty woman.

Me thaed tshirts and created a nasty woman tour at the metropolitan museum of art and started a wikipedia page. Look it up. Nasty woman. So President Trump is a business man and using the same word over and over trying to brand them and hoping it sticks. Whether it is speaking up, but you know what i think hes scared of them. Scared of the female reporters at the white house asking tough questions. Nasty and scared of nancy pelosi and what she might do. Nasty. And if nasty is what he calls women who are outspoken, who use their voices, who have opinions, well, then, stay nasty, america. A dramatic reversal from joe biden after supporting the Hyde Amendment saying federal funds cant be used for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or if the life of the mother is at risk. It is a position his campaign reiterated two days ago. But last night at a Democratic Party gathering in atlanta, he said this. I make no apology to my last position and i make no apology for what im about to say. I cant justify leaving million of womens without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right. If i believe health care is a right, as i do, i can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someones zip code. And in stating this reversal, the former Vice President cited abortion restrictions that have recently passed in several states. Cnn political reporter Arlette Saenz is in atlanta and joined by chief political analyst gloria borger. Before we get floor this, go through the recent time line. On may 4th he told a supporter he would commit to abolishing the Hyde Amendment. Here that is. Im a aclu rights for all voter and i have one quick question for you and that is will you commit to abolishing the Hyde Amendment which hurts poor women and yes. And women of color. Yes. And by the way, aclu, i have a perfect voting record my entire career. I heard you did. But im glad you just said you are committing to abolishing the Hyde Amendment. Right now it cant stay. You heard him say it cant stay but on june 5th the Campaign Said he misheard and stated that biden still supported the Hyde Amendment. Social media blew up and the democratic rivals attacked him and then last night he reversed course. Soarlet, you have the new reporting, why did he make this aboutface. You had the criticism from his 2020 rivals and also from abortion rights groups. But my colleague jeff zeleny and i are learning ther
