>> THIS IS WHY WE AGREED TO WORK TOWARDS ZERO TARIFF, ZERO
NONTARIFF BARRIERS AND ZERO
SUBSIDIES ON NON-AUTO INDUSTRIAL
GOODS.
GOODS. THIS WILL OPEN MARKETS FOR
FARMERS AND WORKERS, INCREASE
INVESTMENT AND LEAD TO GREATER
PROSPERITY IN BOTH THE UNITED
STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION.
IT WILL ALSO MAKE TRADE FAIRER
AND MORE RECIPROCAL.
MY FAVORITE WORD.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP AND EUROPEAN
COMMISSION CHIEF JEAN-CLAUDE
JUNCKER AT THE WHITE HOUSE
ANNOUNCED A CEASE-FIRE IN TRADE
TENSIONS.
TENSIONS. JOINING US NOW FROM CAPITOL
HILL, HALLIE JACKSON.
GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THAT EVENT IN THE ROSE GARDEN
WHICH WE JUST WATCHED CAME
TOGETHER QUICKLY.
TOGETHER QUICKLY. YOU GUYS REMEMBER SCRAMBLING.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
>> IT DID COME TOGETHER QUICKLY.
AN ANNOUNCEMENT EVERYBODY FROM
THE PRESS GATHER BY THE PALM
ROOM DOORS.
ROOM DOORS. EVERYBODY STARTED SPRINTING.
THE PRESIDENT FELT LIKE IN THIS
MEETING HE REALLY GOT A WIN.
THAT THERE WAS THIS IDEA THAT
JUNK,
JUNK, JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER, THE EU
WOULD COOPERATE MORE IN THE WAY
THE U.S. HOPED.
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM
DECIDED WELL JUST BRING
EVERYBODY IN AND DO A BIG
ANNOUNCEMENT ALL AT ONCE.
THEY FIGURED IT WOULD BE QUICK
TO SET IT UP IN THE ROSE GARDEN.
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA RAN IN AND
TRIED TO SET THIS THING UP.
IT WAS NOT A NEWS CONFERENCE, A
JOINT STATEMENT AS THE PRESIDENT
SAID WE GOT A VERY BIG DEAL?
WAS IT?
WAS IT? THERE’S STILL NOT A LOT OF
SPECIFICS.
SPECIFICS. NOT A LOT OF DETAILS.
BASICALLY TALKING TO AGREE TO
MORE TALKS AND KIND OF A FOF A
CEASE-FIRE.
CEASE-FIRE. THE EU WILL BUY MORE SOY BEANS
FROM U.S. FARMERS WHICH IS GOING
TO BE A HUGE RELIEF TO FOLKS
ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDWEST IN
SOME OF THESE HARD HIT STATES
THAT REALLY HAVE BEEN FEELING
FINCH.
FINCH. WATCH FOR THE PRESIDENT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS DEAL TODAY.
HE’S HEADED TO NEST.
HE’LL BE IN IOWA AND ILLINOIS.
HEADING TO A PLACE, ONE OF THE
FEW PLACE THAT REALLY LIKES HIS
TARIFFS, A STEEL PLANT,.
HE’S BEEN WELCOMED BY THE STEEL
AND ALUMINUM INDUSTRIES.
THE PRESIDENT IS HEADING TO A
STEEL PLANT TO TALK THAT UP A
BIT AS THIS IS A FOCUS.
HE’S COME UNDER SERIOUS FIRE
FROM REPUBLICANS ON THE HILL WHO
HAVE BEEN VERY UNHAPPY WITH
THIS.
THIS. >> QUICK FACT CHECK.
WAS THIS A BIG DEAL?
>> NO.
>> NO. SORT OF AN AGREEMENT TO TALK
SOME MORE.
SOME MORE. LOOK, BY THE WAY, LET’S TAKE ONE
SMALL EXAMPLE, THE EU AS AN
ENTITY DOESN’T BUY SOY BEANS.
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH
THEM?
THEM? PUT THEM IN BRUSSELS?
PEOPLE BUY SOY BEANS.
SO SOMEHOW THEY GOT TO GET EU
FARMERS TO BUY IT.
I WANT TO DO A FACT CHECK.
TRUMP GOING OUT THE A STEEL
PLANT TO CELEBRATE THE STEEL
TARIFFS.
TARIFFS. ONLY 10% OF OUR JOBS IN THE
STEEL INDUSTRY ARE IN PLANTS
THAT MAKE STEEL.
OTHER 90% ARE IN PLANTS THAT USE
STEEL AND OPPOSED TO THE TARIFFS
SAME WAY AUTOMAKERS ARE OPPOSED
TO TARIFFS AND EVERYBODY ELSE
WHO USES THE STEEL.
TRUMP IS PLAYING AGAIN TO A VERY
SLIVER OF A BASE.
>> THERE WAS A REPORTER NOT IN
THAT ROSE GARDEN PRESS
CONFERENCE.
CONFERENCE. WHITE HOUSE RESTRICTED ACCESS TO
CNN’S KAITLYN COLLINS WHEN SHE
ASKED ABOUT MICHAEL COHEN.
>> THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
APPRECIATE IT. >> MR. PRESIDENT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> DID MICHAEL COHEN --
>> THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
>> MR. PRESIDENT, ARE YOU
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT --
>> THANK YOU EVERYBODY.
>> I CALL IT AN EXCHANGE.
SHE DIDN’T GET ANY ANSWERS.
IF YOU’RE LISTENING ON THE
RADIO.
RADIO. LET ME REPEAT HER QUESTION.
SHE ASKED DID MICHAEL COHEN
BETRAY YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
DID MICHAEL COHEN BETRAY YOU.
MR. PRESIDENT ARE YOU WORRIED
WHAT MICHAEL COHEN WILL SAY TO
PROSECUTORS.
PROSECUTORS. ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT WHAT’S ON
THE OTHER TAPES.
ALL NEWS OF THE DAY.
QUESTIONS WHICH PREVENTED HER
FROM BEING ALLOWED INTO AS A
REPORTER SHE HAD BEEN OPEN PRESS
EVENT BEING ALLOWED IN THAT
PRESS CONFERENCE IN THE ROSE
GARDEN.
GARDEN. WHAT IS THE WHITE HOUSE SAYING.
>> SHE ALSO ASKED A QUESTION
ABOUT VLADIMIR PUTIN AND WHY THE
RUSSIAN PRESIDENT HAS NOT
ACCEPTED THE INVITATION YET FROM
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING WELL
THESE QUESTIONS, SHE DIDN’T
LEAVE WHEN SHE WAS ASKED TO
LEAVE.
LEAVE. THERE’S A COUPLE OF THINGS
IMPORTANT NOTE.
IMPORTANT NOTE. NUMBER ONE, KAITLYN COLLINS CNN
REPORTER WAS THERE ACTING AS A
REPRESENTATIVE FOR EVERYBODY
ELSE.
ELSE. FOR ALL OF US.
SHE WAS THE POOL REPORT PER.
TODAY IT’S FOX.
TOMORROW IT’S NBC.
I WANT ROTATES EVERY FIVE DAYS.
SHE WAS IN THERE ASKING
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. IF SHE HAD NOT ASKED THOSE
QUESTIONS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
PROBLEMATIC.
PROBLEMATIC. ANY REPUTABLE JOURNALIST IN HER
PLACE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME
THING.
THING. I WOULD HAVE.
ANYBODY HERE AT NBC WOULD HAVE
ASKED THOSE SAME QUESTIONS.
THE WHITE HOUSE DIDN’T LIKE IT.
IT’S POSSIBLE THE PRESIDENT DOES
NOT LIKE THESE UNRULY SPRAYS.
HE’S MADE COMMENTS ABOUT THEM
BEFORE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE’S
SITTING NEXT TO A WORLD LEADER.
THESE LEADERS GIVE HIM A FACE
THIS IS CRAZY.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. THIS IS WHAT WE DO HERE WHEN WE
GO INTO THE OVAL OFFICE WE ASK
THE PRESIDENT QUESTIONS.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.
FACT THAT THE WHITE HOUSE PULLED
KAITLYN COLLIN CNN
REPRESENTATIVE INTO A MEETING
AND SAID THIS WAS INAPPROPRIATE,
HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC.
HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC. LET ME SAY ONE OTHER THING.
SHE DIDN’T LEAVE WHEN ASKED.
I HAVE BEEN IN THAT ROOM IN THAT
POSITION MANY, MANY TIMES AND
HERE’S THE THING.
THE SECOND THE PRESIDENT IS DONE
TALKING THE STAFFERS WHO ARE
THERE TO DO THEIR JOB AND CLEAR
THE MEDIA OUT START YELLING AT
THE PRESS TO LEAVE.
THE PRESIDENT WILL OFTEN, OFTEN
ANSWER QUESTIONS.
ANSWER QUESTIONS. YOU WILL ASK FIVE OR SIX
QUESTIONS THE PRESIDENT MAY
ANSWER QUESTION THREE OR
QUESTION FOUR.
QUESTION FOUR. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’LL ANSWER
OR NOT.
OR NOT. IF YOU’RE THERE IN FRONT OF THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND HIS STAFF IS TRYING TO YELL
OVER HIM AND HE’S TRYING TO
ANSWER A QUESTION IT’S HIGHLY
PROBLEMATIC.
PROBLEMATIC. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS
ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED.
ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED. INEXCUSABLE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
TO MAKE THIS MOVE.
IT WON’T BE TOLERATED BY MEMBERS
OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS.
THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT
ASSOCIATION SAYS THIS WILL NOT
STAND.
STAND. THE CHIEF WHITE HOUSE
CORRESPONDENT FOR NBC THIS IS
NOT A GOOD SITUATION TO BE IN.
NOT OKAY.
NOT OKAY. WE’VE MADE THAT CLEAR.
>> NOT ONLY WAS KAITLYN COLLINS
WITHIN HER RIGHTS TO ASK THOSE
QUESTIONS BUT YOU’VE BEEN THERE.
>> THE PRESIDENT WILL ANSWER
QUESTIONS LIKE THAT.
>> THE PRESIDENT OFTEN ENJOYS
THAT EXCHANGE.
THAT EXCHANGE. OUTRAGEOUS DESPLAY BY THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HOUSE. THE STORY OVER THE MISSING
QUESTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE’S
TRANSCRIPT FROM FORTUNATE’S NEWS
CONFERENCE WITH PUT IN HELSINKI.
THE ADMINISTRATION NOW SAYING
THE BLAME BELONGS TO A SWITCH IN
THE AUDIO MIXER AND SAYING THAT
OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
AND EXPLAIN HOW THE WHITE HOUSE
IS EXPLAINING THIS?
>> WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
THE IMPORTANT PIECE IS WHAT THEY
ARE DOING NOW.
THE DEAL IS WHEN YOU’RE IN THESE
ROOMS THERE’S A TRANSLATOR.
VLADIMIR PUTIN IS SPEAKING NOT
IN ENGLISH, HE’S SPEAKING IN
RUSSIAN.
RUSSIAN. THERE’S A TRANSLATOR DOING A
LIVE INTERPRETATION.
LIVE INTERPRETATION. THE WHITE HOUSE SEVENTENOGRAPHER
DOING A FEED.
BECAUSE TRANSLATOR WAS FINISHING
UP TRANSLATING SOMETHING THAT
VLADIMIR PUTIN HAD JUST SAID,
THE BEGINNING OF JEFF MASON’S
QUESTION FROM REUTERS WHO ASKED
THAT QUESTION WHICH WAS ADMITTED
FROM THE TRANSCRIPT DEW POINT
DONALD TRUMP TO WIN THE
ELECTION, THE TRANSLATOR IS
SPEAKING OVER JEFF’S QUESTION,
THE MIKE SWITCHED OVER FROM THE
TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH SIDE
AFTER THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED
AND SO THAT’S THE WHITE HOUSE’S
EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE SECOND
PART OF THE QUESTION WAS WRITTEN
DOWN.
DOWN. OTHER PEOPLE LISTENING TO THAT
FEED SAYING THAT’S WHAT
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED. MULTIPLE FEEDS TIMES OF THESE
THINGS.
THINGS. I WAS IN THE ROOM AND LISTENING
TO THE HEAD PHONES AND LIVE --
>> THE FEED WE HAVE HAS THE
QUESTION.
QUESTION. THAT’S WHY IT WAS SO CONFUSING.
>> WE WERE UNILATERAL.
WE’RE IN THE ROOM AND FEEDING IT
BACK FROM OUR CAMERAS.
HERE’S THE REALLY IMPORTANT
THING.
THING. THE WHITE HOUSE NOW KNOWS IT’S
WRONG.
WRONG. ARE THEY GOING TO CORRECT THE
RECORD?
RECORD? WILL THEY COME OUT AND PUBLICLY
SAY WE WERE WRONG WE’LL CORRECT
THE TRANSCRIPT.
THE TRANSCRIPT. MY COLLEAGUE PETER ALEXANDER
SAID YES THEY ARE CORRECTING THE
PRESIDENTIAL RECORD.
PRESIDENTIAL RECORD. THIS WILL BE INCERTAINED
CORRECTLY.
CORRECTLY. JEFF MASON DID ASK THIS QUESTION
OF PUT DEW POINT DONALD TRUMP TO
WIN.
WIN. >> DOES THAT INCLUDE THE WHITE
HOUSE VIDEO BECAUSE IT DOESN’T
APPEAR ON THE VIDEO.
>> SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE FEED
AND WHERE IT CUT-OUT.
WE’RE WORKING ON WHETHER THE
WHITE HOUSE WILL RECONFIGURE
THAT.
THAT. >> SO THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT
MALICIOUS AND FIX IT.
HALLIE JACKSON COVERING A TON OF
GROUNDS FOR US THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
NICE IMPERSONATION OF
JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER.
JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER. THAT WAS GOOD.
>> BALONEY.
>> BALONEY. ANYBODY THAT WATCHED THAT PRESS
CONFERENCE AND COVERAGE AFTER
KNOWS PUT SAID YES I WANTED
TRUMP TO WIN.
THEY KNEW THE QUESTION AND THE
ANSWER AND THE WHITE HOUSE KNEW
THE ANSWER AND THIS IS BALONEY.
>> THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY
DOING A TRANSCRIPT.
>> THE VIDEO SEEMS TO ME --
>> OF ALL THE QUESTIONS PULLED
OUT OF THE TRANSCRIPT THIS IS
PRETTY AMAZING.
PRETTY AMAZING. >> THAT FEEDS INTO CONSPIRACY.
I’LL TRUST WHITE HOUSE.
>> IT’S GONE FROM THANK YOU
PRESS, THANK YOU PRESS TO GET
THE HELL OUT.
>> IN FAIRNESS IT’S USUALLY
ALWAYS BEEN.
ALWAYS BEEN. >> THE IMPORTANT THING YESTERDAY
IN THE CHORUS OF PEOPLE SAYING
THIS WILL NOT STAND WAS FOX
NEWS.
NEWS. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THEY PUT OUT A STATEMENT
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY. STILL AHEAD, PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS
SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH LAWMAKERS
FROM FARM STATES AFTER HIS TALK
WITH THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
PRESIDENT YESTERDAY.
PRESIDENT YESTERDAY. INSTEAD THOSE LAWMAKERS GOT TO
ATTEND THAT UNSCHEDULE ROSE
GARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT.
GARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT. WE’LL TALK TO REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSWOMAN WHO WAS THERE FOR
