It's a big day for trade, big day for our country.
A lot of people thought we'd never get here.
They used to call it NAFTA.
We're going to call it the United States Mexico Trade
Agreement.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
It is our wish, Mr President that now Canada
will also be able to be incorporated in all this.
Canada will start negotiations shortly.
I'll be calling the prime minister very soon.
And we'll start negotiation.
And if they'd like to negotiate fairly, we'll do that.
You know, they have tariffs of almost 300%
on some of our dairy products.
So we can't have that.
We're not going to stand for that.
I think with Canada, frankly, the easiest thing we can do
is to tariff their cars coming in.
It's a tremendous amount of money.
And it's a very simple negotiation.
It could end in one day.
And we'd take in a lot of money the following day.
But I think we'll give them a chance to probably have
a separate deal.
We can have a separate deal.
Then we can put it into this deal.
I like to call this deal the United States Mexico Trade
Agreement.
I think it's an elegant name.
I think NAFTA has a lot of bad connotations
for the United States because it was a rip off.
There was a deal that was a horrible deal for our country.
Mexico's promised to immediately start purchasing as much farm
product as they can.
They're going to work on that very hard.
And as you know, we're working unrelated to this.
We're working very much with other countries.
China is one.
They want to talk, which is not a right time
to talk right now, to be honest with China.
It's been-- it's too one sided for too many years
for too many decades.
And so it's not the right time to talk.
But eventually, I'm sure, that we'll
be able to work out a deal with China.
In the meantime, we're doing very well with China.

US Chamber Of Commerce Launches Attack Ads To Sway Midterm Voters - Duration: 3:05.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has decided that they're no longer going to be sitting on the
benches, on the sidelines, and they're getting out into the field to help Republicans win
the 2018 midterm elections.
This past Friday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released their very first attack ad against
Democrat Claire McCaskill, because McCaskill dared vote against the Republican tax cut
package.
That's what's at the heart of this video.
That's why they're going after Claire McCaskill.
Well, that and the fact that her area is considered a toss up.
She could very easily lose so they're targeting these weakened Democrats like McCaskill.
Although considering the fact that McCaskill's obviously a very much corporate Democrat,
and yet she's getting heat from this corporate owned entity, the Chamber of Commerce just
because she voted against the tax cut package, but here's the thing, the Chamber of Commerce
is going to be doing this to other vulnerable Democrats all throughout the country as we
head into November.
They think that they can convince voters that, "Oh, this Democrat didn't want to give you
a tax cut.
They're horrible.
Vote for the Republicans.
They love cutting taxes."
Here's the problem with that approach, Chamber of Commerce.
Everybody kind of already realizes that the Republican tax cut was a complete scam.
They know they're not getting raises.
They know that the few people who got bonuses that it was just a one time thing because
the corporations have already spilled the beans on it, not to mention conservative think
tanks have also released studies in recent weeks showing that average American workers
will get approximately zero dollars from the Republican tax cut plan.
All a vulnerable Democrat has to do is run those reports in an ad and it nullifies what
you're doing.
People in this country are not as stupid as groups like the Chamber of Commerce would
like to believe.
We're actually a little bit smarter than that.
Most of us can read the news.
Most of us can see these reports.
We understand what's actually happening, but more importantly, even if you don't read the
news, even if you don't watch it on TV, you still get a paycheck and you look at that
and you know that nothing has changed.
You didn't get more money from your employer giving you a raise.
Your taxes didn't go down.
They're still taking out the same amount from your checks but not from your boss' checks,
and we understand that.
You want to run attack ads against Democrats because they didn't vote for the tax cut bill?
Be my guest, Chamber of Commerce, because most people in this country understand that
that bill was an absolute disaster, and if they want to know who voted against it so
they can vote for them, they you Chamber of Commerce, are doing their homework for them.
Good luck with that.

Florida shooting: Who has the right to own guns in the United States of America? - Duration: 1:58.
The right to bear arms is enshrined in the US Constitution.
This means all lawful residents are allowed to buy and own a gun.
But federal law sets out a few exceptions.
Fugitives,
people with criminal convictions,
those considered a danger to society
or who were involuntarily committed to a mental institution
are all excluded.
The federal minimum age to buy a so-called long gun,
a rifle or shotgun is 18,
21 for handguns and semi-automatic weapons.
Permit requirements to purchase, own or carry firearms then vary,
depending on the state.
The permit is needed to buy handguns in a total of twelve states.
Only four have similar requirements for long guns.
In the rest of the country,
anyone meeting the federal criteria can buy firearms without a permit.
Seven states completely prohibit openly carrying handgunsn
while concealed handgun carry is illegal in only two.
A total of 31 states meanwhile allow
residents to openly carry handguns without a permit.
Guns salesmen must alert local officials
and obtain a federal firearms license.
Federal law then requires licensed vendors
to run a background check before selling firearms,
but the rule can be circumvented
as it doesn't apply to non licensed vendors
Anyone can legally sell a gun without a federal license,
if the sale isn't considered a regular business activity.
This applies for instance to someone selling firearms
from their personal collection.
Gun shows are known for facilitating these transactions,
which can be conducted without the need for a background check.
Unlicensed sales currently represents twenty percent
of all gun purchases in the US.

S. Korea, U.S. yet to reach new deal on defense cost sharing - Duration: 1:49.
Officials from Seoul and Washington met last week to continue discussions on splitting
defense bills.
But after two days of talks, the sixth round of their kind, it's clear, they're not able
to meet half-way.
For details let's turn to our Kan Hyeong-woo.
South Korea and the United States continued their talks late last week in Seoul... on
sharing defense costs.
It seems they're still trying to narrow down their differences, but at the same time, they
see eye to eye on the need to further improve their communication.
An official at South Korea's foreign ministry said Monday that the allies were unable to
reach an agreement on the key points,.
including how much South Korea should pay in total and Washington's demand that Seoul
pay for a new category of expenses called "operational support," which is for American
troops outside the Peninsula.
This "operational support" includes the deployment of aircraft carriers, long-range bombers and
nuclear submarines.
Under the latest five year deal, as of 2018, South Korea pays around 856 million U.S. dollars
to have U.S. troops on its soil, which experts say is around 40 to 50 percent of the total
bill.
But Seoul is standing firm that it can spend money in three areas, which are payroll, construction
and logistics,… as it has in the past.
The 2014 agreement on sharing the costs of America's defense of its ally will expire
by the end of this year.
So South Korea aims to conclude the talks with the U.S. before November as it is expected
to take at least two or three months to get the National Assembly's approval,… but the
Foreign Ministry official noted that the agreement terms are more important than simply meeting
the deadline.
Seoul and Washington plan to hold another round of talks in the U.S. next month.

White House returns US flag to full staff - Duration: 0:58.
A lot of attention was drawn to the White House after it raised
its American flag to full staff Monday morning. It lowered the
flag to half-staff Saturday evening to honor Sen. John
McCain, who died at age 81 following an aggressive battle
with brain cancer. Now, flying the American flag at half-staff
for less than 48 hours might seem short for such a
high-profile figure. But the White House is actually
following the guidelines laid out by the Department of
Veterans Affairs. It calls for flags to be lowered on all
federal buildings, grounds and naval vessels on the day of and
the day after a member of Congress dies. Flags remain at
half-staff until the day of interment if the lawmaker held a
majority or minority leadership position in the Senate or the
House. Presidents will sometimes order flags to remain at
half-staff for longer than what's required by U.S. code.
But President Trump has yet to issue any such proclamation for
McCain — despite reports that the White House did draft a
statement on his death.

Trump Threatens Tariffs On US Cars From Canada - Duration: 1:50.
Extremely complex bill, and it's
something that I think will be
talked about for many years to
come.
It's just good for both
countries.
As far as Canada is concerned,
we haven't started with Canada
yet.
We wanted to do Mexico and see
if that was possible to do, and
it wasn't.
I think it wasn't from my
standpoint something that most
people thought was even doable
when we started, if you look at
it.
You remember at the beginning
many people thought this was
something that just couldn't
happen because of all the
different factions and sides,
and the complexity.
And we made it much simpler,
much better, much better for
both countries.
Canada will start negotiations
shortly.
I'll be calling the prime
minister very soon, and we'll
start negotiations, and if
they'd like to negotiate fairly,
we'll do that.
You know, they have the tariffs
of almost 300% on some of our
dairy products.
We can't that.

that could end in one day and
we've taken a lot of money the
following day, but I think we'll
give them a chance to probably
have a separate deal.
We could have a separate deal
that we could put it into this
deal.
I like to call this deal the
united states/mexico trade
I think it's an elegant game.
I think nafta has a lot of bad
connotations for the united
States.
Because it was a deal that was a
horrible deal for our country,
and I think it's got a lot of
bad connotations to a lot of
people, so we will probably, you
and I, agree to the name.
We'll see whether or not we
decide to put up Canada or just
do a separate deal with Canada
