Alaska governor offers Trump use of troops along US-Mexico border - Daily News - Duration: 4:29.

Alaska's new Republican governor has offered President Donald Trump use of the Alaska National Guard to patrol the U

S.-Mexico border Friday, but a spokesperson for the politician said there's no planned movement for the troops

On the same day POTUS declared a national emergency to fund the building of a controversial border wall, Governor Mike Dunleavy said soldiers were available

In a video message shared on social media around 3.30pm, the 57-year-old from Pennsylvania said: 'Today I notified the @WhiteHouse & @realDonaldTrump that #Alaska and our National Guard – if called upon – stand ready to support the national security crisis on the US Southern Border

' The state is about 3,000 miles north of the border but the 12th Governor appeared to agree with the American leader's idea that the country is at risk without the construction

'While the southern border may seem far away and distant, this crisis is real and a potential threat to every American, including Alaskans,' he continued in the clip

'I look forward to our congressional delegation and Alaskans joining me in support of the president's mission to secure our borders

Thank you and have a great day.'However Dunleavy's press secretary Matt Shuckerow told the Anchorage Daily News that troops are going nowhere for now

The publication reports Shuckerow admitted he wasn't sure how the video came to be filmed and posted online or whether there was a specific request from the White House for Dunleavy to show his support

He added that if they do send the Alaska National Guard to support the wall, the federal government would pay most of the cost

It was after California and New Mexico this month decided not to support US Border Patrol

Last April, along with Texas and Arizona, the states agreed to send troops. But after California's Governor Gavin Newsom took over Governor Jerry Brown, he said last Wednesday that 'California will not be part of this political theater'

Calling the national emergency 'manufactured', he added: 'I should be focusing on housing and homelessness and other more important things

'After the national emergency was declared, two Democrats issued statements in extreme opposition

Share this article Share 'Let's be clear, there is no national emergency on our southern border

President Trump doesn't seem to know the difference between being president and being a dictator,' Senator Martin Heinrich stated

'Threatening to declare a national emergency to save face with the extreme right-wing voices of his party is a wild abuse of power

I look forward to being part of any legal and legislative action that reigns in this imperial president

I hope my Republican colleagues will join me and put country over party.'U.S. Rep

Xochitl Torres Small stated: 'As a member of the House Armed Services Committee with two military bases in my district, I am deeply alarmed that the President is willing to put our national security at risk by taking money from projects intended to improve the infrastructure and readiness of nation's military

US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin says trade talks with China were productive Daily Mail Online - Duration: 5:37.

US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin says trade talks with China were productive Daily Mail Online

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the United States had productive talks with over their trade dispute.

However negotiations in Beijing ended Friday with no sign that any concrete progress had been made.

Top officials from the worlds two biggest economies had held two days of talks, hoping to at least create sufficient goodwill to stave off an escalation of their tariff war.

In a, Mnuchin said after the talks ended that he and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer had productive meetings with Chinas Vice Premier Liu He, Beijings top economic official.

The talks closed around mid day on Friday and the delegations parted with nothing announced.

Attention then shifted to a planned meeting later Friday between the US delegation and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with markets watching for signals that the worlds two economic superpowers may look to maintain a truce on damaging reciprocal tariffs.

The high level meetings began Thursday after President Donald Trump suggested that if talks in Beijing went well he may extend his March 1 deadline for China to make significant concessions on trade before resuming the tariff onslaught.

Trumps economic advisor Larry Kudlow had earlier said Xis willingness to meet with the US officials was a very good sign.

Kudlow also said the vibe is good in characterising the talks, but said there was no decision yet on extending Trumps tariff truce.

After Trump suggested he may put off plans to more than double tariffs on dollar 200 billion in Chinese imports after March 1, Bloomberg News reported that a 60 day postponement was being considered to allow more time for negotiations.

Multiple reports had indicated that little if any progress was made in the Chinese capital toward US demands, with the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg quoting anonymous sources as saying the two sides failed to narrow the gap on key issues.

Washington accuses Beijing of a range of unfair trade practices including myriad barriers against foreign access to its market.

It also accused the Government of offering subsidies that favor Chinese companies, rampant theft of intellectual property, and the requirement that foreign firms transfer proprietary technology to their partners in China as a condition of doing business.

Mnuchin and Lighthizer returned to their hotel after the talks ended but did not speak to the media.

Beijing and Washington have already imposed duties on more than dollar 360 billion in two way trade, which are weighing on their manufacturing sectors and have shaken global financial markets.

Expectations for an accord have being growing as China faces pressure from slowing economic growth, and as the market turmoil rattles Trump and his economic advisors.

But many China experts say Beijings Communist Party rulers are unlikely to make significant changes to industrial policies that have abetted the countrys economic rise without a long and tough fight.

In December, Trump had postponed plans to sharply hike tariffs, setting the March 1 ultimatum for Chinese concessions.

Trump has said that any eventual trade deal would need to be sealed personally between him and Xi in a summit meeting.

Heather Nauert ends bid to be next US ambassador to UN USA News Al Jazeera - Duration: 2:52.

Heather Nauert ends bid to be next US ambassador to UN USA News Al Jazeera

Citing family concerns, former Fox News host withdraws from consideration to be the next US ambassador to the UN.

US President Donald Trumps choice for ambassador to the United Nations, Heather Nauert, has withdrawn from consideration for the job for family reasons, according to the State Department.

Nauert was State Department spokeswoman when ; prior to that, she had been a host on the conservative leaning Fox News Channel. She had been criticised by Democrats for her lack of diplomatic experience.

"The past two months have been grueling for my family and therefore it is in the best interest of my family that I withdraw my name from consideration," Nauert said in a State Department statement on Saturday.

The statement did not specify the hardship on her family but the Washington Post said Nauerts husband and children had remained in New York while she was working in Washington, DC.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg News, quoting anonymous sources, Nauerts nomination began to falter after a White House background check discovered that Nauert employed a nanny who was legally in the but not authorised to work.

Nauert, 49, suggested in the statement that she was leaving government entirely, saying: "Serving in the administration for the past two years has been one of the highest honors of my life."

Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State, praised Nauert in a statement, saying that he had "great respect" for her "personal" decision to withdraw.

Trump had announced on December 7 he would nominate Nauert for the UN position to replace Nikki Haley, who resigned at the end of 2018. Haley was a former South Carolina governor who also had little experience in world affairs before taking the ambassador position.

Calling Nauert "very talented, very smart, very quick", Trump said he thought she would be "respected by all".

In the wake of November elections that strengthened Republican control of the Senate, her confirmation appeared likely, if not easy.

Yet Trump never put Nauerts name forward with the Senate and no confirmation hearing was scheduled.

The State Department in its statement that Trump would announce a nominee for the UN position "soon".

Before coming to the State Department, Nauert was a breaking news anchor on Trumps favourite television show, Fox and Friends. She joined the department as a spokeswoman in April 2017, three months into the Trump administration.

She was named acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs in early 2018.

The role of US ambassador to the UN is a highly visible international position.

While Nauert had little diplomatic experience, other nations with veto power on the UN Security Council are represented by ambassadors with decades of foreign policy work.

"Shes clearly not qualified for this job but these days it seems that the most important qualification is that you show up on Donald Trumps TV screen," Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said of Nauert on CNN in December.
