Shepherd smith reporting live from the fox newsdesk. Shepard a live look now, at the white house. Were waiting for President Trump to hold a news offense with the Prime Minister of norway. We expect President Trump will take questions, and will do so shortly. Well bring it to you as it begins. This comes as the white house is firing back after a federal judge temporarily blocked the president s decision to end so thecalled dreamers program. The hundreds of thousands of imgrnts whose parents brought them to the u. S. As children without documents. President trump ended the program in september. And he Gave Congress until march to come up with a replacement. The judge ruled that ending the program could cause serious, irreparable harm to young immigrants. The white house calling the judges decision outrageous. The hulg came after just i should say hours after yesterdays rare oncamera negotiation of sorts over immigration, the president today calling his meeting with lawmakers from both parties tremendous. President trump we agreed to pursue four major areas of reform. Securing our border including of course the wall, which has always been included, never changed. Ending chain migration, cancelling the visa lottery, i a dressing the status of the daca population. Shepard the dockca population, the dreamers. The president announced hell sign a bill to extend that program, the one that protects them. Hes open to handling immigration in two phases he says. Daca and . Sort of Border Security measures first. And then he suggested maybe an hour later, begin comprehensive Immigration Reform. Something that has conservatives in quite a tizzy. Some of them. And he still insists on a wall. Not a complete 2,000 mile wall as he said it, but pieces and parts of a wall, pieces and parts of electronic security, and human security, along at least part border wall in mexico. Yesterday he told lawmakers, i quote now, we dont need wall where you have rivers and mountains and Everything Else protecting it, unquote. He kwaeded, we do need a wall for a fairly good portion. The senate ma norpt leader Chuck Schumer called the meeting encouraging but said people are rightly skeptical a bill to protect dreamers might never happen. We cannot wait, we cant tolerate delay. Delay is a tactic employed by those who do not wish to see a deal. Let me just say, promises that may be in the future well do it, particularly on immigration, have fannished by the varnished by the wayside. Shepard the president says that congress should consider going back to earmarks. We reported on this yesterday. Earmarks with a provision lawmakers tack on to spending bills to pay for projects in their home state. That whole i scratch your back, you scratch my back is how Congress Works situation, that ended in 2011. House republicans banned it then saying it corrupts lawmakers and encourages them to support bad bills. They called it pork barrel politics. Critics say earmarks help give washington its reputation as a swamp which the president has promised to drain. But the president says earmarks might help Congress Actually get things done. Which they would. But conservatives were against that. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts live on the north lawn. Good afternoon. You know, this talk about earmarks, trying to figure it where it came from, did somebody put the bug in the president s ear this would be a good thing to talk about at this meeting. I wasnt able to come up with any one particular kwvergs that got him on to the earmark idea. It was told to me meetings previous to this Parent Weekend where he huddled with members of the congressional leadership that he had talked about earmarks, probably somebody suggested back in the day when is we had earmarks we worked together more than we do now. Maybe the president just picked up on that. To the court action that happened last night, on the president s decision to rescind the daca program. It was the Federal District judge out of san francisco, William Alsop who blocked last night the president s action to get rid of daca by march 5. The president clearly unhappy, taking to twipt they are morning, to say, quote, it just shows everyone how broken and unfair our court system is when the opposing snide a case such as daca runs to the ninth circuit and almost always wins before being reversed by a higher court. Alsop is a Federal District judge but in the ninth circuit jurisdiction. A lot of people the president says, take cases there they know theyll get a favorable ruling, although often overturned by the supreme court. The president said what was tame in comparison to the press secretary, saying, quote, we find this decision to be outrageous, especially in liement of the president s successful bipartisan meeting with house and Senate Members at the white house on the same day. An issue of this magnitude must go through the normal legislative process. There is agreement in the house and senate that something needs to be done about the dreamers, the judge got some support in the form of vermont senator patrick leahy. The president should have worked with congress, he should have found a permanent legislative solution of keeping daca protections in place. I believe he determined the program under false pretensions, yielding to voices in his administration. The president contends it was unconstitutional for president obama in 2010 to make an executive dre sigs about the dreamers, he said immigration has to be done by congress which is why the president threw back to congress on september 5. Yesterday, shep, we were talking about the extraordinary demonstration of democracy where the president allowed cameras to stay in the room for almost an entire meeting between himself and 22 members of congress. The president today meeting with his cabinet said he got high marks for doing that. Listen here. President trump my performance, some of them called it a performance, i consider it work. But got great reviews by everybody other than two networks who were phenomenal for about two hours. Then after that they were called by their boards to say, oh, wait a minute. And its unfortunately a lot of those anchors sent us letters saying it was one of the greatest meetings they have ever witnessed. Wasnt really in the form of letters, it was more tweets and onair comments. Most of them remarking on the extraordinary scene that we saw yesterday of having the meeting opened up to cameras for the most part. Shepard thanks. Also today, President Trump says his administration is looking at libel laws. He said theyre a sham and a disgrace. This comes after the controversial new book from author Michael Wolff who had inside access to the white house, given inside access by the president. Wolfs book offers a negative account of the Trump Administration and portrays the president as unengaged and unfit to be commander in chief. The president has called the book a work of fiction. Back to john roberts at the white house, he can look at the law but when he looked at it it wont change, he cant change the laws, right . No, its difficult to do that. Okay vowsly he has to get congress onboard to do it. This is something, shep, the president has been talking about for a long time now. Back during the campaign, a lot of the stories surfaced, he said people can say anything they want about anybody without any kind of resource the part of the person he believes has been damaged. He talked about it a little bit more at the cabinet meeting. Listen to what he said. President trump we are going to take a strong look at our countrys libel laws so that when somebody says something that is false and defamatory about some one that person will have meaningful recourse in our courts. If somebody says something that is totally false, knowingly false, that the person that has been abused, defamed, libelled, will have meaningful recourse. In addition to the president believing that our current libel laws are a sham and disgrace, as you pointed out, shep, he said they do not represent American Values or american fairness. But as you pointed out, president cant do anything about this by himself. He needs to get congress onboard. That no doubt will be a heavy lift. Shepard more than. That john roberts at the white house. For clarity, we ee in the position to report facts, all of that about looible laws, a word salad of nothingness. None of that means anything. Except look here. He couldnt change the libel laws if he wanted to change the libel laws, couldnt change them if he got congress in there. John bussey is here from the wall street journal. Its state laws, its two things. Its interesting. Not a sham, its not a disgrace. Our libel laws are here to protect and they do a pretty effective job of that speaking from a journalistic standpoint. Were very observant what has to be done not to libel some one. There are state laws of the constitutions First Amendment, is what its all about. Shepard good afternoon from fox news in new york. On fox televisions, Fox News Channel on satellite and cable. The president of the United States is holding a joint News Conference with the president the Prime Minister of norway, and it has begun early. Lets listen. President trump brave, treacherous seas and courageous misses of exploration. Centuries later during the second world war, brave norwegians escaped occupied norway to fight alongside of americans and the allies including on the beaches of normandy in 1944. Our friendship builds on this proud and noble history and is rooted in our commitment to confront the problems of today with that same confidence and same determination. I think it might even be greater determination. Weve just concluded a series of discussions on how we can Work Together to promote a future of security and world prosperity and also a great future for our respective countries working together. The Prime Minister and i are both committed to strengthening the nato alliance. Norway has made contributions to the natoled mission in afghanistan where we are doing very well. Its been turned around. As well as to nato and natos enhanced forward presence in poland, and the baltic states. I want to thank the Prime Minister and the norwegian people for their participation in these efforts. I encourage norway to follow through on its commitment to meet the 2 of gdp defense spending obligation so that together we can confront the full range of threats facing our nation. And i believe norway will get there quite soon. Norway is also a vital and valued member of the campaign to defeat isis. Because of us, isis has now lost almost 100 of the territory it previously held. Not so long ago in iraq and syria. Were grateful for norways civilian assistance efforts and generous humanitarian aid to the region. Theyve been out there and really doing an incredible job. Im also pleased to share that the economic ties between our two countries are robust and growing. The United States currently has a trade surplus which is shocking. Do you believe im saying we have a surplus . There arent too many, you have to go back and check your people. But were getting more and more surpluses all over the world, i will say. That i told that to the Prime Minister. But our two countries are robust and growing. The United States currently has a large contingent of products that we sell, and back and forth with norway, and one of the big products of course is our military equipment. I want to thank the people of norway for their commitment to fair and precip row cal trade reciprocal trade, a word youll hear coming from this administration and should have come from other administrations before we, reciprocal trade which benefits us all. Free nations are stronger when the trade is fair and trade has not been overly fair with the United States. But weve had that great relationship. With norway. But remember the word reciprocal request. In november we started cliferg the first f52s and f35 fighter jets. We have total of 52 and they delivered a number of them already, a little ahead of schedule. Its a 10 billion order. Norway also invests about onethird of its sovereign wealth in american businesses, supporting hundreds of thousands of american jobs. Theyre very big vefors in ouring investors in our stock market and the Prime Minister thanked me very much. Their market, you have done very well with your investments in the United States. Right . Thank you. Norways commitment to mutually beneficial commerce is a model for other nations and it really is. Amazing country. Ill look forward to forging a Stronger Economic relationship between the United States and norway, growing this record of success, with even more investment and more jobs and more job creation. Were also proud of our increasing cooperation on health and health security. And also on biodefense. Very important to both countries. I commend Prime Minister solbergs ability for Vaccine Development and disease prevention. We can save many, many lives. Were working, in some cases together, on cures to many ailments. Prime minister solberg thank you for joining us at the white house. For decades, norwegians and americans have stood side by side against common threats to our freedom, our security, and to our values. Together we have fought against fascism and communism and terrorism and we face threats always together, were partners. Our has advanced peace, cooperation and human dig yipt throughout the world. We remain united on shared challenges, to seize new opportunities, and to build a bright and beautiful future for our countries, our people, our children, and i think were doing very well working together. We have a new hive found friendship. I want to thank you and god bless you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, mr. President , and thank you for your generous welcome. It is a great honor to be here at the white house. The relationship between our two countries is strong and has very deep roots. There are millions of u. S. Citizens who proudly call themselves norwegianamericans. Our norwegian constitution, second oldest in the world that, is still in force, was inspired by american ideals. And we have a long and continued history of serving shouldertoshoulder on battlefields around the world. The u. S. Remains our most important ally, a major trade partner, and close friend. Today, we have discussed issues so far of importance, for our relationship. How we can keep our countries safe. How we can grow our economies. How we can further the cooperation in areas of mutual interests. And i have assured President Trump that norway remains lie and a friend you can count on in the future. We are already number two in nato after the u. S. In terms of defense spending per capita and we are making significant investments to further strengthen our defense. This includes as the president said, some big buys from american industry. Maritime patrol, f235 aircraft, largest single Public Investment from lockheed martin. But also we are buying new submarines and investments in intelligence capabilities and army assets. Which is important also for our job. American economy is doing well and our economic relations are flourishing. Thats to the benefit of both countries. As we discussed in our meeting for small country like norway, its important for our ability to trade and to protect the border that we have fair trade and trade assistance also. We think its important for our future. Norwegian investments and Norwegian Companies support close to half a million jobs in the United States. And through our government pension fund, sub stngs revenues from our oil sectors are being invested in u. S. Assets. The u. S. Has impressive business community. And i have commanded a leading role. Also in the economy, for example, by the fact that one of the big areas we are now importing in norway is electrical cars from tesla. Norway is combatting climate change, it is an important issue for us, we are committed to the Paris Agreements. But it leads to businesses and leads to american businesses also, selling cars in norway. At the same time, the Green Economy is an area where we teach tremendous business and Economic Opportunities in the future. And finally, i think its important to say that we also are discussing some of the big difficult issues, for example the development i hope and think we can find a new future. Its important that we are all working together to find solutions in north korea, afghanistan, syria, and iraq. Since december 11, 2001, norway has contributed to a range of mission and operations including the fight against isis. And emi have assured the thapt we remain unwaivering in our commitment to the fight against terrorism all over the world. I am looking forward to future cooperation, mr. President , and thank you for meeting. President trump okay. Some questions. How about sara westwood. Where is sara . Thank you. Washington examiner. Thank you mr. President. Yesterday in the meeting with lawmakers you said that you would be open to signing just about any immigration deal that that Bipartisan Group of lawmakers sent to you. President trump right. Would you be willing to sign an immigration deal that ultimately does not include funding for the border wall or would that
