Trump: 'Ready to go' with $500 billion in tariffs on China

President Trump in an interview that aired Friday said that he's "ready to go" with $500 billion in tariffs on China after already slapping the country with a series of tariffs.

Trump said in an interview with CNBC that the U.S. is "down a tremendous amount" in terms of trade with China saying that China "can't match us because otherwise we're always going to be behind the 8-ball."

"I'm not doing this for politics. I'm doing this to do this right thing for our country. We have been ripped off by China for a long time and I told that to President Xi," Trump said.

Bloomberg reported that about $500 billion worth of Chinese goods were imported into the U.S. last year.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. has been taken advantage of by China on trade.

The Trump administration imposed tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese products last month, which China quickly matched with tariffs on the same value of American goods.

The administration then announced that it would impose another series of tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.

China has promised to retaliate for the latest round of tariffs and has filed a challenge with the World Trade Organization.

Over the course of my career as an undercover officer in the C.I.A., I saw Russian intelligence manipulate many people. I never thought I would see the day when an American president would be one of them.

The president’s failure to defend the United States intelligence community’s unanimous conclusions of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and condemn Russian covert counterinfluence campaigns and his standing idle on the world stage while a Russian dictator spouted lies confused many but should concern all Americans. By playing into Vladimir Putin’s hands, the leader of the free world actively participated in a Russian disinformation campaign that legitimized Russian denial and weakened the credibility of the United States to both our friends and foes abroad.

As a member of Congress, a coequal branch of government designed by our founders to provide checks and balances on the executive branch, I believe that lawmakers must fulfill our oversight duty as well as keep the American people informed of the current danger.

The president has criticized Federal Reserve policy in the past, as a candidate, and he has also voiced his concern about the strength of the dollar. His criticism of the Fed was largely aimed at former Fed Chair Janet Yellen during the election.

Trump has commented on dollar strength in the past. One of those times was as president-elect, when he gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal just before the inauguration, saying the dollar was too strong. He also pointed to its strength against the Chinese yuan as a concern, and at the time the dollar moved lower.

quote:

U.S. intelligence officials and security experts have spent years urging states to shore up their elections’ digital defenses, and the latest indictments from special counsel Robert Mueller drew fresh attention to Russia’s cyberattacks on the 2016 presidential election.

But less than four months before the midterm elections that will shape the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency, most states’ election offices have failed to fix their most glaring security weaknesses, according to a POLITICO survey of all 50 states.

And few states are planning steps that would improve their safeguards before November, even after they receive their shares of the $380 million in election security funding that Congress approved in March.

Only 13 states said they intend to use the federal dollars to buy new voting machines. At least 22 said they have no plans to replace their machines before the election — including all five states that rely solely on paperless electronic voting devices, which cybersecurity experts consider a top vulnerability.

In addition, almost no states conduct robust, statistic-based post-election audits to look for evidence of tampering after the fact. And fewer than one-third of states and territories have requested a key type of security review from the Department of Homeland Security.

Almost none of the 40 states that responded to POLITICO provided full details of how they plan to spend their shares of the money.

The Russian government is pushing for the release of a gun rights activist accused of being a covert agent in the U.S., calling her arrest a “farce.”

The Russian ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, told a conference in Moscow that the accusations against Maria Butina are groundless and that American authorities tried to “break her” and refused her consular visits for the first few days after her arrest.

Russian Embassy representatives visited Butina in Washington on Thursday, and said in a statement that she is in good health but “has difficulties in adapting to prison conditions.”

Antonov said Moscow is working to return her to Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry started an online campaign to “Free Maria Butina.”

U.S. federal prosecutors accused Butina this week of being a covert Russian agent and working to infiltrate U.S. political organizations, including the National Rifle Association, before and after Donald Trump’s election as president.

Butina, 29, denies wrongdoing.

Young voters are flocking to register to vote in key battleground states in the wake of the February school shooting at a Parkland, Fla. high school, according to a new analysis from Democratic data firm TargetSmart.

The report, released exclusively to NBC News, shows that young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 years old make up an increasing share of those registering to vote in a handful of key states.

Pennsylvania has seen the sharpest increase—61 percent of new voter registrations come from young voters, compared to 45 percent before the shooting.

Virginia, Indiana and New York have all seen an increase of about 10 percentage points in the youth share of new voter registrants, while Arizona and Florida have seen gains of about 8 percent. All of these states are home to some key Senate or House races that will play a crucial role in deciding control of Congress.

Other key battleground states—like California, North Carolina and Ohio—have seen more modest increases. And in West Virginia, home to one of the top Senate races on the map, the youth share of new registrants fell 11.5 percentage points.

Democrats are boosted by the general upward trend—TargetSmart found a 2 percent uptick in the share of youth registrants across the country—considering young voters skew more liberal and are more supportive of enacting new gun control measures. The February shooting in Parkland, where 17 people were killed, has served as a motivator for activists looking to make the case to pass new measures like expanding background checks and restricting access to certain weapons

Take a look at how the share has changed in each of the 38 states (plus the District of Columbia) that have updated their voter files since the shooting on Feb. 14 (states shown in grey haven’t publicly released new voter registration data over this span) on the graph below. And TargetSmart has all of the data here.

Perhaps Iowa farmers' biggest fear is becoming a harsh reality: The escalating U.S.-China trade dispute erupted Friday, with each country vowing to levy 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion in goods.

U.S. and Iowa agriculture is caught in the crossfire, with farmers selling $14 billion in soybeans to China last year, its top export market.

Soybeans are among hundreds of U.S. products China has singled out for tariffs. The U.S. has an equally long list that includes taxing X-ray machines and other Chinese goods.

Iowa farmers could lose up to $624 million, depending on how long the tariffs are in place and the speed producers can find new markets for their soybeans, said Chad Hart, an Iowa State University economist.

U.S. soybean prices have fallen about 12 percent since March, when the U.S.-China trade dispute began.

quote:

A Russian company accused by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III of being part of an online operation to disrupt the 2016 presidential campaign is leaning in part on a decision by Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh to argue that the charge against it should be thrown out.

The 2011 decision by Kavanaugh, writing for a three-judge panel, concerned the role that foreign nationals may play in U.S. elections. It upheld a federal law that said foreigners temporarily in the country may not donate money to candidates, contribute to political parties and groups or spend money advocating for or against candidates. But it did not rule out letting foreigners spend money on independent advocacy campaigns.

Kavanaugh “went out of his way to limit the decision,” said Daniel A. Petalas, a Washington lawyer and former interim general counsel for the Federal Election Commission.

A motion filed by the Russian company this week repeatedly cites Kavanaugh’s decision, bringing new attention to his rulings on campaign finance laws and regulations during his tenure on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Lawmakers reconciling House and Senate versions of a must-pass defense bill chose to go with the House approach of excluding ZTE from U.S. government contracts but leaving it free to do business with private companies in the United States. The Senate-passed version of the defense bill would have restored a full U.S. ban on ZTE that the Trump administration imposed but then lifted.

"By stripping the Senate’s tough ZTE sanctions provision from the defense bill, President Trump — and the Congressional Republicans who acted at his behest — have once again made President Xi and the Chinese Government the big winners and the American worker and our national security the big losers,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement Friday.

The Trump administration's push to accommodate ZTE — which U.S. officials for years have warned could provide China with a vehicle for cyber-espionage and intellectual property theft — sparked heavy resistance from members of both parties. Republicans like Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marco Rubio of Florida joined with Democrats like Schumer and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in warning about ZTE's threat to national security.

They supported the Senate's ZTE provision, passed by a vote of 85-10 in June, which would require the president to certify that Chinese telecoms had not violated U.S. law for a full year and cooperated with U.S. investigators before granting relief from civil penalties.

Rubio on Friday called the decision to drop the Senate's approach a "cave" and suggested it was a part of a trade-off between lawmakers and Trump administration officials on language to broaden the powers of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.

“So chances that a #China controlled [telecom] will not just stay in business, but do so here inside the U.S. sadly just went up," he tweeted.

But Republican leaders like Majority Whip John Cornyn appeared eager to avoid a showdown with Trump over the issue. And Trump supporters like David Perdue (R-Ga.) argued against congressional intervention, saying they did not want to tie the president’s hands amid his broader trade negotiations with China.

Final language on the defense bill has yet to be unveiled, but lawmakers say they hope to wrap up overall negotiations on the measure by the end of July.

The uncertainty surrounding U.S. policy on ZTE has caused the company's stock price to gyrate in recent months. The Chinese telecom is the the fourth-largest vendor of mobile phones in the U.S. and buys many of its component parts from U.S. chipmakers.

The Commerce Department this month officially lifted the ban on ZTE after the company put $400 million in an escrow account that the U.S. would draw from if any further violations occur.
