Indictment and walks out of the courtroom can wearing a second ankle monitor. We begin with major developments in the crisis with north korea. President trump has accepted kim jong uns invitation to meet in person. The groundbreaking news comes after south Korean National security adviser chun yu yung briefed hr mcmaster and other top officials on the meeting. He and other top officials had earlier this week. Speaking outside the white house last night, chung said he expressed he and moon jaeins personal gratitude for President Trumps leadership that brought us to this juncture before going into the details of the meeting. I told President Trump that now meeting, north Korean Leader kim jong un said hes committed to denuclearzation. Kim pledged that north korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. He understands that the routine joint military exercises within the republic of korea and the United States must continue and he expressed his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible. President trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet kim jong un the past continue. In a statement, the white house said trump greatly appreciates the nice words of the south korean delegation and president moon. He will accept the in veritation to meet with kim jong un at a place and time to be determined. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain. Trump later tweeted out saying kim jong un talked about denuclearzation with the south korean representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by north korea during this period of time. Great progress being made, but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned. A Senior Administration official said the request was verbally communicated to trump contrary to earlier reports that a physical letter from kim was delivered the to the president. Trump would be the first sitting president to meet with or even talk to a north Korean Leader joining us now, kelly kobea. Obviously breaking news having a tremendous impact around the world. How does this news play out today, particularly where you are in the south . Playing out very well here, ayman. Moon jaein calling this a historic mile stone, a miraculous opportunity. This is something that he has been pushing for for months. He thanked both leaders, said that both had to make a difficult decision, his words, to actually agree to this potential summit that could happen in the next couple of months. All of this, of course, comes after that unprecedented meeting between south korean officials and north korean officials earlier this week. South korean officials saying that kim jong un told them he was very eager to the meet President Trump. He thought that the two could have Great Results if only they could meet in person. Generally, the reaction from around the region has been positive. Russia, china, japan all saying that they welcome this news. But some words of caution from japans Prime Minister who says we have to be sure that there are inspections of that Nuclear Program before we go down the road of easing sanctions. Ayman. A small concept, but a significant one. After a week of speculation and controversy back there at home, President Trump followed through with his America First policy. The tariffs, 25 on imported steel and 10 on imported aluminum will take effect on march 23rd. Flanked by the Vice President , steel and aluminum workers, the president defended why hes making this move. The steel and aluminum industry are vital to our National Security, absolutely vital. Steel is steel. You dont have steel, you dont have a country. We want a lot of steel coming into our country, but we want it to be fair and we want our workers to be protected and we want, frankly, our companies to be protected. The fact is, weve been treating really, weve been treated to badly over the years by other countries, i think really weve been treated very badly by our politicians, by our the president s, but people that represented us that didnt frankly know what they were doing. And we lose 800 billion a year on trade. Every year. 800 billion. Its been going on for a long time. Our factories were left to rot and to rust all over the place. Thriving communities turned into ghost towns. You guys know that, right . Not any longer. The workers who poured their souls into building this great nation were betrayed, but that betrayal is now over. So canada and mexico were granted exemptions from the start of the new tariffs due to ongoing nafta renegotiation talks. But President Trump says those tariffs will depend on how the trade talks actually go. In addition to the xwemgzs, the white house will give other nations the opportunity to justify why they shouldnt be included, with trump saying in the coming weeks, well see who is treating us fairley and who is not treating us fairley. And House Speaker paul ryan is warning of the potential consequences that may result from President Trumps tariff decision. Following the announcement, he released a statement saying i disagree with this action and fear its unintended consequences. I am pleased that the president has listened to those who share my concerns and included an exemption for some american allies, but it should go further. We will continue to urge the administration to narrow the this the policy so that it is focused only on those countries and practices that violate trade law. Speaking in atlanta, minutes before President Trumps announcement, speaker ryan discussed his hopes for the president s decision. I think the more surgical you can get, the better. I think it was absolutely prudent and wise to exempt our allies in north america, particularly since were in the middle of renegotiating nafta. I think thats also theyre a big part of our supply chain with steel and aluminum. I also hope that they have, in continuing the exemption process, that countries and businesses can apply to so that we can make it even more surgical. We want to limit as much unintended consequences and Collateral Damage as possible. And we want to work with the administration to do that. Meanwhile, nearly a dozen of americas allies are moving forward with a major trade pack without the United States. Yesterday, japan, canada and australia signed a revised version of what used to be the transpacific partnership. It was developed as a way of countering chinas growing economic power the in asia. Now this is reportedly opening the door for china to join. Without the United States participation, the deal is weaker than the original tpp, but it serves as a powerful sign of how countries that are pressed relied on American Leadership are hurt without it. This is one of the worlds three largest trade agreements. Joining us now, molly hooper. Good to have you with us on this the busy morning. Lets talk about the big story from last night and can from the Korean Peninsula that President Trump is agreeing to meet with kim jong un. Give us a sense of how that is playing out on the hill. Earlier when we heard this news earlier in the week that north korea was willing to back off the this development, several lawmakers, this second round of sanctions has been working, that that is really what has caused the north koreans to sort of change their tune and open to talks. Also pointed to the fact that north korea, all of a sudden, became part of the olympics. This is sort of a pattern that lawmakers were pointing to as to maybe getting to this point. However, you talk to republicans and democrats, they both both parties are very cautious and want the president and would want the president to go in with eyes wide open, noting the fact that, you know, in the past when bill clinton, you know, after he was during the Clinton Administration which richardson went over and negotiated, you know, a limiting the Nuclear Development in north korea, it didnt really work. Yeah. Weve been down this road before. Weve been down this road before. Certainly not at this level so that will be the interesting game changer if at all it does take place. Lets turn to over story that came out of the white house yesterday. Not all the Republican Party is wind the president on the this as we just heard from paul ryan and others. Whats the likelihood that congress will try to narrow these new tariffs with new legislation from their own . Even if it comes out of congress, is it ever likely to be signed by the president . And that is the biggest question here. It would have to have a vetoproof majority, but also youve seen in the house, Warren Davidson from ohio introducing legislation that would ban the president from using this National Security clause in under the Commerce Department to impose these tariffs, saying that this is not a National Security its not in our National Security to impose tariffs on these countries and another, you know, other rounds of legislation are sure to be introduced according to mark sanford from south carolina. There are a lot of republicans and Democrats Wary of this action and fearful that it will cause negative economic consequences. Even folks even democrats and republicans in rust belt states where this would be you know, it would seemingly be more popular, lawmakers like debbie dingo said we need to proceed cautiously and see the details of what this en tails. If you look at countries in the European Union that have high labor standards, that use the same kind of environmental regulations that the United States is under, its not fair to impose these tariffs on countries like that when really the big issue is china. Yeah. Molly hooper, well touch base with you a little later on in the program. Stick around. Still ahead, Paul Manafort arraigned in virginia.

Former Trump Campaign chair Paul Manafort is now required to wear a second ankle monitoring bracelet after pleading not guilty in federal court in virginia to charge brought by special counsel robert mueller, including bank fraud and filing false tax returns. Manafort is facing federal charges in washington, d. C. On money laundering. Manafort declined to wave the second venue and have all the charges consolidated in one courthouse which has resulted in his being monitored by two separate court systems. A ro tester threw a russian flag at him and shouted, traitor, show us your bracelet. This as the person who trump replaced as Corey Lewandowski declined to answer some questions. Adam schiff said lewandowski refused to answer questions about Donald Trumps statement reportedly drafted by the president describing the 2016 meeting at the russian towers about adoption as well as the firing about james comey and conversations they might have had about firing robert mueller. Schi the ff called on his republican colleagues to make lewandowski answer the questions. Witnesses got get to choose. We have requested a subpoena. Whether that will be granted by the majority or not, i cant say. Lets get a check on your weather with meteorologist bill karins. Bill, youre tracking rain in the south, but the big question is, do we have any potential clarity on that noreaster that might hit us on monday . I do. And you have to wait about 90 seconds to the end of this and ill get to it. Currently, we start off with a chilly morning. The noreaster sent a ton of cold air down to the south. We have freeze warnings from mississippi, north florida, with all the way through areas of south carolina. Thats where it remains very, very cool. As far as the temperatures go right now, 31 in atlanta, 29 in augusta. All the flowers are out here, too, so were probably losing some of those buds on some of the trees. Winter snow is on the ground in cleveland. Its snowing in buffalo across the new york state thruways. Be careful driving there. Western pennsylvania and western West Virginia had some snow showers overnight. As far as the forecast over the weekend, were okay in most areas. But over saturday, some strong storms develop in the southeast. Severe weather is possible with hail and gusty wind damage. This is into sunday. We take that rain through the southeast. Its still chilly in the northeast. We do not want this to come up the coast as another possible noreaster. So our two main computer models, our european model and our american gfs model. The american model at 6 on oclock a. M. Monday does have snow through virginia up towards washington, d. C. , through philadelphia. Then it takes a little bit of snow or mixed precipitation through new england as we go throughout the day monday and off the coast. This would be what i call a glancing blow. This would not be a huge noreaster. So that is one version. Now the european model, which is typically a little more accurate has the storm system completely off the coast. No snow on monday in areas of washington, d. C. Just a little bit maybe on tuesday with a big ocean storm. So odds right now are favoring an out to sea forecast, not a high impact event. Still a chance it could change over the weekend. Well keep an eye on it, but im not anticipating anything like what we just saw in the last two. That will be good news for folks in the northeast. Still ahead, a scary night in the nba, including the loss of one twotime mvp. Plus a truly bizarre story involving Vladimir Putins favorite hockey team. All that in sports, next. Time it takes to brew your cup. Lets go to sumatra. Wheres sumatra . Good question. This is win. And thats wins goat, adi. The coffee here is amazing. Because the volcanic soil is amazing.
