It was welcome to the jungle theme. Welcome to our jungle. Im dave briggs. We had a disco ball at my prom. Come on. That sounds like a hoot. Over the top. Im christine romans. It is monday. Instagram generation. It is may 14th. 5 00 a. M. In the east. 10 00 a. M. In london. President trump vowing to save jobs. Chinese jobs. Trump says he is working to get chinese smartphone maker zte back in business. He tweeted this. Too many jobs in china lost. Commerce department instructed to get it done. Last month, the Commerce Department crippled zte. It barred u. S. Companies from selling zte vital parts. That punishment for zte for slig violating the u. S. Sanctions and selling vital parts to iran. And then lying about the employees involved. Last year, wilbur ross called ztes actions egregious. We are putting the world on notice. Improper trade games are over with. Are they . Now the white house says trump expects ross to resolve the action. Trumps tweet draw criticism from adam schiff and he said trump should care more about our National Security than chinese jobs. Trumps reversal come as round two of trade talks ramps up. A chinese delegation heads to washington this week. The goal to avoid a fullblown trade war. In a second tweet, trump said china and the u. S. Are working well together. After past trade talks were one sided. Adding be cool. It will all work out. Big day in the middle east. The Trump Administration doing what ada minute administrations in the past promised by moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem. In a matter of hours, the formal ceremony set for 9 00 a. M. Eastern time. The white house declaring the move reflects the reality that jerusalem is the israeli capital. Critics arguing this marks the end of americas role as an honest broker in Israeli Palestinian peace negotiations. Cnns elise labott joins us from inside the new u. S. Embassy in jerusalem. Good morning, elise. Reporter good morning, dave. Big day for the u. S. Embassy opening in jerusalem. The ceremony will be starting in a couple of hours. A high level delegation coming here today. In addition to the delegation, accept ty secretary deputy secretary of state John Sullivan and you have secretary Steve Mnuchin and the president s soninlaw Jared Kushner as well as ivanka trump. The president s daughter, tweeting this morning. Let me read. Thank you, Prime Minister netanyahu and mrs. Netanyahu for the warm welcome to israel. Im honored for the dedication of the new embassy in jerusalem and celebrating the friendship between our two countries. The ceremony has a lot of speakers. There will be a recorded message from President Trump to the crowd. Also Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be here on hand. I expect him to Say Something an along the lines he said last night. Asking all nations to follow President Trumps lead and move their embassies to jerusalem. Consider jerusalem as the capital of israel. As popular as the move is here from israelis, you see proPresident Trump signs lining the streets on the roads up to the embassy, a devastating day for palestinians who consider that palestine has jerusalem as the capital. A future palestinian state. As much as the u. S. Says this will advance peace and israelis say that, too, the palestinians and arab states, obviously, feel otherwise. Thats why as happy a day it is for the israelis, the palestinians will protest across the country. Expect to see tough protesting in gaza today. Hundreds of thousands expected at the wall with israel. One final note. We are expected to hear from a controversial pastor robert jeffress. One of President Trumps greatest supporters during the campaign will be giving the opening invocation. Critics are saying he is the wrong one to be giving an address at the opening of the embassy. Of course, he has been criticized for his antimuslim and antigay and anticatholic antimormon and antijewish remarks. A controversial speaker at the controversial event. Dave. Elise labott live for us. One of the critics of the move to have jeffress speak there. Here is what mitt romney tweeted out about robert jeffress. In the past, you cant be saved by being a jew. He said the same about islam. Such a religious bigot should not give the opening prayer for the u. S. Embassy in israel. This reverend has given a speech why gay is not okay. Clearly a pointed choice of that pastor. The u. S. Embassy move to jerusalem triggered protests on the gaza border. A video tweeted out attempting hamas may breach the security and carry out a massacre. We have ian lee live from gaza. Ian, tell us what you are seeing there. There is a lot of black smoke behind you. Reporter let me paint you a picture of what is going around us. The chaos we are seeing behind me. You have the black smoke. That is from tires being burned. That is to obscure the site of israeli snipers. We have seen a lot of tear gas this morning. A while ago, we have seen these drones fly over the crowds and drop tear gas down. We also heard live rounds being fired. Thousands of people descending on the site we are located now. Hello. What we are seeing here is the crowds pushing forward are toward the border. Also, that fence israelis say, that is a red line. They will not allow anyone to cross over. They have tear tiers. They will warn people verbally and non lethal means like tear gas and they will use ammunition if necessary. The issue is large groups of people crossing the border. You have a large number of people like this today and they say they will cross over. It will be a very chaotic and possibly deadly day. Ian, what are folks telling you . We saw that gentleman stop to chat, apparently. What are people telling you . Their biggest grievance about the embassy moving . He cant hear me. Wow. Incredible picture. Stay safe. Bring us more as it develops this morning. That will officially happen in a few hours. Lets talk about this with julian zelizer. So this was a very controversial move at the time the president announced it. It seems that some of the controversy has died down. Fulfilling a campaign promise. Doing what president s past have failed to do. Was it much ado about nothing or will this blow up the region . It is a bold move. President s in both parties said he would do this. He is the first to do it. Overall, reaction has been muted from a lot of countries given what everyone expected. That doesnt discount what are you seeing. There is obviously intense opposition. We will see how this unfolds. What do you make of pastor jeffress from dallas doing the opening prayer. What does that signal . It is hard to brief. You already have a tense situation and it has to be handled delicately and inject the pastor of this sort into the middle of the celebration. It is hard to imagine why he picked him. Other than sending signals to various constituents in the United States. His record is no mystery. Many politicians have spoken about this. Including antisemitic. The Commerce Department got tough on zte, the chinese smart phonema maker. You were not playing fairly. You were selling phones in markets sanctioned by the u. S. Then the president says be cool. It will all work out. Seemingly in the second round of negotiations, he is going to help get chinese jobs back. Chinese jobs back. Listen for a moment to the president who was elected for his tough talk on china. Listen. We cant continue to allow china to rape our country and thats what theyre doing. China taking our jobs, our money, our base, our manufacturing. They have done to us the greatest single theft. The greatest abuser in the history of this country. Rampant theft. A currency manipulator. They break the rules in every way imaginable. I have many friends in china. They agree with me 100 . We have lost all of their respect. They think were run by a bunch of idiots. Is there a risk for him trying to save jobs with zte . There is a risk. He has been able to do a lot of things contradict and get away with it. He is dealing with two realities. One is the reality of a potential trade war. You see him backing away from the threat. Two, this comes before the negotiations with north korea and the president wants the chinese leadership on his side to help with this issue. Those are pushing him away from the campaign. He bets he can get away with it. He has not addressed the controversy about the awful joke about john mccain last week where white house aide regarding the decision about gina haspel. John mccain, hes dying anyway. That don doesnt matter. Lindsey graham was offended. Here is what he said on sunday. It is disgusting thing to say. If it was a joke, it was a terrible joke. I just wish somebody from the white house would tell the country that was inappropriate. If somebody in my office said such a thing about somebody, i would apologize for the office. The white house is upset with the leak of the joke to the media. Why not put out an apology . Why do they let it linger . Here is bipartisan agreement on something. The president digs in. The presideresident doesnt lik admit culpability. Part of the anger is not simpyi the joke, but he sets the tone for the white house. This is about him and the things he is willing to say, including about senator mccain back on the campaign trail. This reflects him. He doesnt want to apologize. I dont know if he will or not. This is a consistent pattern. By focusing on leaks, he sends a clear message. Come back and we julian, thank you. Iranian officials with a fullcourt press to salvage the nuclear deal minus the u. S.

The 2019 Jeep Cherokee is the United States going to sanction European Companies that do business with iran . I think the issue here is what the europeans will do. If they see that it is not in their interest to stay in the deal, we will have to watch what the iranians do. They love to stay in the deal. Why shouldnt they . They got everything they wanted from the obama administration. I think the europeans will see it is in their interest to come along with us.

Reporter christine, the has hardliners and moderates are willing to give the deal another chance, but the iran interests needs to be preserved. European companies should not fear retribution.

The big test, christine, is going to be tomorrow. When zarif goes to brussels to meet with leaders there. Iranians are asking the europeans to go against the United States on the issue and protect the European Companies when they invest in iran. Of course, the u. S. , an ally of the europeans, but no secret the europeans are angry with President Trump for pulling out of the agreement. And ally and alliance which has been tested no question by pulling out of the nuclear deal. Fred, thank you. From iran to lebron.
