U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum, paving the way for sweeping tariffs on Chinese

goods.

The move has angered Beijing, raising the prospect of a trade war between the world's

two economic superpowers.

Ro Aram reports.

President Trump has accused China of what he called years of intellectual property theft

and Chinese pressure on American companies to hand knowledge over.

He also reiterated his concerns over the growing trade deficit between the two countries.

"But we have a trade deficit, depending on the way you calculate it, of 504 billion dollars.

Now some people would say it's really 375 billion dollars.

Many different ways of looking at it but any way you look at it, it is the largest deficit

of any country in the history of our world.

It's out of control."

He went on to say that the punitive tariffs would benefit the U.S., adding that every

trade deal had to be reciprocal.

"And frankly, it's going to make us a much stronger, much richer nation.

The word is reciprocal.

That's the word I want everyone to remember...

If they charge us, we charge them the same thing.

That's the way it's got to be.

That's not the way its been for many, many years.

For decades, it has not been that way."

However, there are parts of the memorandum that are not as threatening as they seem....

The terms include a 60-day consultation period, during which lobbyists and legislators will

get a chance to slim down the number of target products, which currently stands at about

13-hundred.

But Trump did say that Thursday's memorandum was the first of many, which further raises

the prospect of a global trade war.

In addition to the tariffs, the Trump administration also plans to restrict new Chinese investments

in America and take action against China at the World Trade Organization for what it calls

unfair trade practices.

This has sparked China to issue a belligerent response.

The Chinese embassy in Washington, vowed to "fight to the end" in any trade war with

the United States.

Beijing's Commerce Ministry also announced through a statement Friday that it plans to

slap tariffs on three billion dollars-worth of American imports, ranging from steel to

pork.

It added that Beijing also plans to take legal action against the U.S. under the World Trade

Organization framework.

However, it did say that Beijing is willing to resolve the trade dispute with Washington

through dialogue.

Obama's Former General Just Busted In Appalling Plot To Take Out Trump! - Duration: 5:34.

Obama's Former General Just Busted In Appalling Plot To Take Out Trump!

President Donald Trump and his team have found out that former President Barack Obama's

former General was caught in an alleged plot to take out the sitting President. It's

been reported that a former CIA officer who served in the paramilitary branch, named John

R. Maguire, had uncovered at secret fundraiser meeting that would gather intelligence in

Afghanistan. Maguire, who served in the paramilitary branch, revealed that Trump's recently resigned

H. R. McMaster had authorized people to spy on Trump, his son's, and Stephen Bannon.

The word spy is used lightly as the correct word, which could sound better or worse, is

surveillance.

It was then reported that numerous people who were part of the CIA during Obama's

tenure as President were not giving the current President the intel that was needed or requested.

This is where the entire situation resembles something that one would see in a brilliant

movie that includes traitors, espionage, and other grueling governmental issues. McMaster

reportedly used a "burner" cell phone which is just a generic phone that they'll

throw away right after using. It's also reported that McMaster used his burner phone

to send information regarding the surveillance to a location in offshore Cyprus. The shocking

part of this is that George Soros reportedly owns the facility.

The Intercept recently reported: "[Maguire] said there were people inside the CIA who

joined in the previous eight years [under Obama] and inside the government, and they

were failing to give the president the intelligence he needed," said a person who was pitched

by Maguire and other Amyntor personnel. To support his claim, Maguire told at least two

people that National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, in coordination with a top official

at the National Security Agency, authorized surveillance of Steven Bannon and Trump family

members, including Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Adding to these unsubstantiated claims,

Maguire told the potential donors he also had evidence McMaster used a burner phone

to send information gathered through the surveillance to a facility in Cyprus owned by George Soros.

Amyntor employees took potential donors to a suite in the Trump Hotel in Washington,

which they claimed was set up to conduct "secure communications." Some White House staff

and Trump campaign supporters came to refer to the suite as "the tinfoil room," according

to one person who visited the suite. This account was confirmed by another source to

whom the room was described. "John [Maguire] was certain that the deep state was going

to kick the president out of office within a year," said a person who discussed it

with Maguire. "These guys said they were protecting the president."

Actions like this may prompt President Trump and a select panel of highly trusted members

to spy on the spies. The problem is that Trump will not know who he can trust as the political

environment seems to be tainted from the previous administration. This is not indicating Hillary

Clinton in any action, but there's always the possibility that she could be connected

or know what's happening since she lost the 2016 Presidential election and possibly

has ties to George Soros.The level of corruption might run deeper than people think and it

appears as though Donald Trump winning the Presidency has put a bump in the road of the

corruption as he's uncontrollable by the people who work under and next to him. His

unpredictability and inability to "play the game" of politics has caused an uproar

from fellow governmental associates. It must be difficult being the President of the United

States and feeling like there are not many people who you can trust, especially when

all you're trying to do is make things right for American citizens.

Trump's administration would likely consider proposals created by Erik Prince, who is responsible

for developing Blackwater. They'll also consider Oliver North who is a retired CIA

officer who was influential in the Iran-Contra scandal. These two would likely assist current

CIA Director Mike Pompeo with developing a private spy network that would primarily spy

on the people suspected of spying on Trump and his team. This neverending loop of spy

vs. spy will be in counter to the alleged "deep state" intelligence community that

might be seeking to undermine President Trump and what he's working on.

The Intercept further reported: "The creation of such a program raises the possibility that

the effort would be used to create an intelligence apparatus to justify the Trump administration's

political agenda.

"Pompeo can't trust the CIA bureaucracy, so we need to create this thing that reports

just directly to him," said a former senior U.S. intelligence official with firsthand

knowledge of the proposals, in describing White House discussions. "It is a direct-action

arm, totally off the books," this person said, meaning the intelligence collected would

not be shared with the rest of the CIA or the larger intelligence community. "The

whole point is this is supposed to report to the president and Pompeo directly."

Donald Trump's new national security adviser calls for regime change in North Korea - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:51.

Donald Trump's new national security adviser calls for regime change in North Korea

ONCE rejected by North Korea as "human scum," President Donald Trump's latest pick for national

security adviser has called for regime change in North Korea, prompting worries in Asia

ahead of a historic summit between Washington and Pyongyang.

Trump announced in a tweet he was replacing H.R. McMaster with John Bolton, a former US

ambassador to the United Nations who has advocated the use of military force against North Korea

and Iran and has previously been rejected as a negotiating partner by Pyongyang.

"This is worrisome news," said Kim Hack-yong, conservative politician and head of the national

defence committee of South Korea's parliament.

"North Korea and the United States need to have dialogue but this only fuels worries

over whether the talks will ever happen."

At Seoul's presidential Blue House, which has been forced to navigate between the unpredictable

personalities of leaders in both Pyongyang and Washington, officials were circumspect.

"Our stance is that if a new road opens, we have to go that path," a senior Blue House

official told reporters.

"Bolton has much knowledge on the issues regarding the Korean peninsula and most of all, we know

him to be one of the US president's aides who is trusted."

He said Chung Eui-yong, South Korea's National Security Office head, had not yet spoken with

Ambassador Bolton and that Chung's reaction to Mr McMaster's dismissal was "not bad".

Another administrative official in Seoul expressed regret over the loss of camaraderie Mr McMaster

had built with his South Korean counterpart as they had tackled North Korea's nuclear

issue together.

Both officials requested not to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.

Ambassador Bolton had described Trump's plan to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as

"diplomatic shock and awe" and said it would be an opportunity to deliver a threat of military

action.

"I think this session between the two leaders could well be a fairly brief session where

Trump says, 'Tell me you have begun total denuclearisation, because we're not going

to have protracted negotiations.

"You can tell me right now or we'll start thinking of something else'", he told Washington's

WMAL radio station.

Former South Korean intelligence official Nam Sung-wook said Trump may not even get

the opportunity to deliver that message.

"Bolton being tapped for this position makes for a very difficult situation where the U.S.-North

Korea summit may not even happen," he said.

"It's going to be a rocky path even before the summit."

The meeting is supposed to happen by the end of May, but an exact time and place have yet

to be settled on.

Pyongyang had no immediate comment about Bolton, whose criticism of then-North Korean leader

Kim Jong Il and Pyongyang's human rights record in 2003 spurred state media to call him "human

scum and bloodsucker."

North Korean officials would not recognise him as a representative of the U.S. government

or talk with him because of his "political vulgarity and psychopathological condition",

state media said at the time.

Trump announces new tariffs on Chinese imports - Duration: 0:34.

President Donald Trump has announced wide-reaching tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump signed a presidential memorandum Thursday at the White House targeting China's "economic

aggression."

He has repeatedly accused China of unfair trade practices like currency manipulation

and stealing U.S. intellectual property.

Officials say the new tariffs will be applied to at least $50 billion worth of Chinese imports

in dozens of categories — including clothing and consumer electronics.

China previously warned it would retaliate if the U.S. decided to go through with its

tariff plans.

What South Korea hopes for from a Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un - Duration: 4:23.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It's been two weeks since the surprise announcement that President Trump

had accepted an offer to meet North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, later this spring.

Last week, I spoke with South Korea's foreign minister, who was here in Washington to consult

with the administration about that meeting and the nuclear standoff with the North.

But how does all this look from the ground in South Korea?

For that, I'm joined from Seoul by our newly announced foreign affairs and defense correspondent,

Nick Schifrin.

Let me welcome you, Nick, officially to the "NewsHour" family.

You have been contributing to the program from all over the world these last couple

of years, but you're going to be with us full-time starting in May.

So, Nick, you have been in Seoul.

You have been talking to South Korean and American officials there.

What is the messaging you're hearing from them?

NICK SCHIFRIN: The messaging from both sides is positive.

The messaging from both sides to North Korea is, we are committed to diplomacy, we are

committed to talking.

So, from the South Korean side, that's what we have been hearing for a while, an emphasis

on diplomacy, an emphasis on trying to speak Korean, to Korean sides, and bring the U.S.

along when it comes to diplomacy.

But we're now also hearing the message from American officials that I'm speaking to, and

specifically through the military exercise between the U.S. and South Korea that will

happen next month.

These exercises have really inflamed the North Koreans in the past.

And what U.S. officials are now saying is, they're going to try and make these exercises

as low-key as possible.

So they will limit press coverage during that exercise, so they're not as public as they

used to be.

And while they're not confirming a South Korean media report that there will be fewer assets

from the U.S. side, namely, submarines, an aircraft carrier and other military assets,

they are suggesting that certainly this military exercise will be as low-key as possible, so

as not to inflame the North Koreans, so as not to risk any damage to the ongoing diplomacy.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Nick, when you talk to the South Korean officials, how do they see

these next few months going?

What are their expectations?

NICK SCHIFRIN: Yes, I think the South Korean officials are very optimistic and, long-term,

they very ambitious.

They talk about peace.

They even talk about unification in the long-term.

But, in the short-term they're trying to tamp down expectations.

And they say, what is success over the next few months?

Simply having a meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong-un.

They say, look, look at what happened over the last six months, nine months.

Think about the rhetoric between both sides.

If we can just get them in the same room with a handshake, that's good enough, and then

we can start a longer-term process of talking about what can happen over the long term,

what can happen in terms of denuclearization.

And their hope is that they can just simply make this dialogue sustainable, sustainable

path of the President Trump administration and sustainable path of President Moon's administration

here.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, finally, Nick, what do the South Koreans say they believe the North

Koreans are willing to do here, and what do they want from all this, ultimately?

NICK SCHIFRIN: Yes, this is where the South Koreans are truly optimistic.

The South Koreans think that the North Koreans are willing to denuclearize, both their present

capacity and their future capacity.

Critics would call that naive, but the South Koreans say, look, we talk about irreversible

denuclearization.

They will talk about that so long as they get irreversible security guarantees and prosperity

guarantees.

And what does that look like?

Not only sanctions relief, not only a U.S. pledge not to attack North Korea, but foreign

direct investment into North Korea by the U.S.

One South Korean official even joked, Trump Tower Pyongyang.

That would convince the North Koreans that the U.S. was serious about North Korean security

and prosperity.

Now, for the critics, they say, look, we're not only talking about diplomacy.

We're also talking about security.

There's going to be an 8 percent budget increase of the military here, not only missile defense,

but also navy, air force, intelligence assess, and, of course, the massive U.S. presence.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, so many eyes on the Korean Peninsula, where you are.

Nick Schifrin, reporting for us from Seoul, thank you, Nick.

NICK SCHIFRIN: Thanks very much.
