U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled China wants to make a deal with the United States

over their trade disputes.

Speaking at the White House Friday, Trump said China recently sent a long list of items

they are willing to negotiate.

It reportedly contains 142 items,... but President Trump said he cannot accept the list for now,...

as some major items are missing and more discussions are needed.

He said an additional 267 billion dollars of tariffs could be imposed on Chinese goods,...

if necessary.

But he also hinted the U.S. might not impose the tariffs, if a satisfactory deal is reached.

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at the G20 Summit in Argentina

at the end of this month.

Elvis Presley awarded US Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump - Duration: 7:26.

 Rock and roll star Elvis Presley has been posthumously awarded the Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honour, by President Donald Trump

 Presley's velvety voice filled the White House briefly on Friday when a recording of one his songs was played at a ceremony hosted by the president to honour the king of rock 'n roll

 Presley was part of an eclectic group of seven Americans being awarded the Medal of Freedom, including the late baseball legend Babe Ruth and Antonin Scalia, the conservative Supreme Court justice  The living recipients included Miriam Adelson, who, like her casino tycoon husband Sheldon Adelson, is a heavyweight Republican party donor

 Mr Trump's homage to Presley - who once met with President Richard Nixon at the White House in 1970 - paused for a recording of the gospel song "How great thou art

"  Mr Trump said that playing music was his idea but when the richly toned performance stopped after just a few seconds, the disappointed president complained that staff organising the event "have no promotional ability

"  Mr Trump also recalled that he had attended an Elvis performance himself decades ago, where overexcited fans were "ripping the place apart, screaming

They were going crazy."  The other recipients were retiring Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, one of the longest-serving senators in US history; Alan Page, who was elected to the Minnesota Supreme Court after an NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears; and Roger Staubach, the Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys quarterback

 Miriam Adelson is a doctor, philanthropist and humanitarian, but is perhaps best known as the wife of Sheldon Adelson, a Las Vegas casino magnate considered one of the nation's most powerful Republican donors

 The Adelsons gave Mr Trump's presidential campaign a $30 million (£23 million) boost in the final months of the 2016 race

The couple followed up this election cycle by donating $100 million to the Republican Party for last week's midterms

 Dr Adelson, 73, is an Israeli-born, naturalised US citizen who earned a medical degree from Tel Aviv University and founded a pair of drug abuse treatment and research centers in Las Vegas and Tel Aviv

She and her husband own the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Israel Hayom newspapers

 The Adelsons are also avid supporters of Israel. Their passion for strengthening the country, along with Israeli-US relations, has helped keep such policy priorities as relocating the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem front and center in the Republican Party and the Trump administration

 Mr Trump moved the embassy in May, and Mr Adelson, who had offered to personally fund the move, sat in the front row for the ceremony

 Robert Weissman, president of the public interest group Public Citizen, questioned whether the decision to recognise Dr Adelson was based on merit

 "It's emblematic of the corrupt and transactional presidency of Donald Trump, and it is a shame, but not a surprise, that he is corroding and corrupting a civic treasure, an honor like the Medal of Freedom," Mr Weissman said

 Elliott Abrams, who held foreign policy roles under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W Bush, called the complaints "ridiculous

" Mr Abrams noted that Dr Adelson has donated her time and her money to combatting addiction

He contrasted her award with those given by President Barack Obama to Chita Rivera, Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand, Ellen DeGeneres and Warren Buffett, among others

 "People who said nothing about all of that and now criticise the medal for Dr Adelson are simply being nasty and partisan, and are not actually taking a look at her remarkable knowledge and charity in the chemical addiction field," Mr Abrams said

 White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said Mr Trump used the process followed by previous administrations to settle on his group of honorees

It was coordinated by the staff secretary's office, incorporating recommendations from the public, relevant presidential advisory bodies, the Cabinet and senior White House staff, she said

 The award is given to individuals "who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors

"  Dr Adelson said she was "deeply humbled and moved by this exceptional honor."  "Liberty is at the heart of my decades of work against substance abuse

Drug dependency is enslavement, for the user and his or her family and society, and treatment an emancipation," she said in a statement Thursday

 Fletcher McClellan, a political science professor at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania, said presidents have no limits on making these awards

 "He has total discretion as to who and when and how," said Prof McClellan, who has studied the Presidential Medal of Freedom

Melania Trump's Power Play, Kanye West's Firefighters & The NFL-"Fortnite" Deal | The Daily Show - Duration: 3:51.

Melania Trump.

You know those movies where, uh, the beautiful

but mysterious woman with a foreign accent

is actually a secret assassin?

Well, maybe we should have seen this coming.

A dramatic move by Melania Trump

that apparently blindsided top White House aides.

REPORTER: Melania Trump's office releasing a statement

publicly blasting a national security official.

REPORTER 2: The first lady called

for Deputy National Security Advisor Mira Ricardel

to be fired, complaining directly to her husband

about being unhappy with Ricardel

during her first solo trip to Africa in October.

The two fought over seating on a plane

and using National Security Council resources for the trip.

The first lady's office issued a statement saying...

(reading):

Sweet Lord. Melania does not mess around.

We barely hear from her.

And then when she does speak, it's to fire somebody?

And, like, whatever this lady did

must have made Melania so mad.

'Cause you realize, Trump cheats on her

and she's pretty chill about it.

But then Melania goes on a flight,

and, all of a sudden, she's all like, "Bitch took aisle seat."

And, like, honestly, I don't even know who this is.

Mira Ricardel?

Who is this person that they're firing?

Like, they're running out of people we know to fire.

This is like Walking Dead season six.

"Oh, no! They killed... Derek."

Moving on, the California wildfires continue

to destroy homes and property.

But some people aren't having it.

TMZ is reporting that rapper Kanye West hired

a private firefighting team to help his California home

keep safe from the wildfire in Malibu.

Now, that home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac.

If that home caught on fire,

it would have led to a ripple effect

through the neighborhood, West said.

So the family hired a team of firefighters armed with hoses.

It worked. The firefighters saved

their $60 million home

and several of their neighbors' homes as well.

Okay, there's rich,

and then there's private firefighter rich.

Yeah. I'm pretty certain their hoses

don't even have water-- they just use Cristal.

Yeah. You probably didn't even know

that Lamborghini made a fire truck, did you?

You didn't know that. Like, I didn't even know

that prire fi-- private firefighters were a thing.

But I guess when you're that rich, you just point at someone

and they become your personal firefighter.

Just like, "Hey, you, fight the fire."

It's like, "Screw you, Kanye. How-- Oh, how much?

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fighting. I'm fighting the fire.

"I'm fighting the fire. I'm a firefighter.

A fighter for money."

And it's weird that Kanye hired personal firefighters,

but it's not the weirdest thing I can imagine him doing.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised

if he just tried to talk to the fire

about his theories on creativity,

and, after ten minutes, the fire was like,

"You know what, I'm-- I'll just put myself out.

I'm... I'm done."

Moving on to other news, Fortnite--

it's a game about killing everyone in sight,

and now it's about to get violent.

REPORTER: The NFL is partnering

with the popular video game Fortnite,

and it's creating some controversy.

Players are using the NFL uniforms now available

in the game to create controversial players.

Among them is one avatar that looks like Aaron Hernandez

holding a gun. Players have also made characters

that look like O.J. Simpson and Colin Kaepernick.

Okay, now, first of all, that's a weird list

of controversial players:

a convicted murderer, a guy accused of double murder,

and a guy who kneeled a few times?

Okay, news, fair enough.

And, also, why put O.J. into Fortnite?

It's literally bringing a knife to a gunfight.

That's a waste of time. And I love Colin,

but he's gonna be useless in Fortnite.

Everyone's shooting and he's just taking a knee

behind a bush. What good is that?

We see you, Colin! We see you!

Trump Plans New Year Meeting with Kim Jong-un - Duration: 4:39.

-Hey, guys, Thanksgiving is less than a week away.

[ Cheering ]

Which means, if you haven't left for the airport by now,

you're screwed.

[ Cheers and applause, laughter ]

Let's get to some news, here, guys.

I heard that President Trump is gonna meet with

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un after the new year.

Makes sense, 'caused Trump's New Year's resolution

is to appreciate the little things.

[ Laughter ]

That's right. Trump and Kim Jong-un

are planning to get together after New Year's.

That's interesting, 'cause when most people say,

"Let's get together after New Year's,"

that really means, "Let's never get together."

[ Laughter ]

I saw that, today, Trump presented the Medal of Freedom

to seven people, including Babe Ruth.

When asked why he chose Babe Ruth, Trump said,

[ as Donald Trump ] "He's a legend.

It was his idea to combine peanuts, caramel, and nougat

into one beautiful, beautiful candy bar."

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Normal voice ] Some business news --

Facebook wants to make it easier

for users to find jobs on their site.

You can tell that they've got a hacking problem

because whatever resume you put in, Facebook just says,

[ In Russian accent ] "You will work in the fields."

[ Laughter ]

[ Normal voice ] Hey, it was announced that the final season

of "Game of Thrones" will debut next April.

[ Cheering ]

Fans said that they were excited to reunite

with the characters they've loved over the past 8 years

and watch them all die horribly.

[ Laughter ]

It's gonna be great.

Oh, get this -- in a new interview,

Prince William said that his dad, Prince Charles,

is completely infatuated with squirrels,

and likes naming them, feeding them,

and letting them inside the house.

[ Laughter ]

He said he even carries nuts in his pocket.

[ Laughter ]

When asked about it, Princes Charles said,

[ In British accent ] "Yes, it's true.

over the years, I've developed a deep affection for squirrels.

Then, he said, "There's nothing I enjoy more

than strolling around Buckingham Palace,

removing nuts from my trousers,

sharing them with my squirrel friends.

I'm so comfortable with them,

sometimes I'll even doze off, and wake up to the sensation

of squirrels nibbling on my nuts."

Then, he said, "If they're well-behaved,

I'll spoil my rodent chums by dropping a pinch of salt

on my nuts, then watching as the little buggers go to town.

And if I'm feeling playful, I'll tease the rascals

by dangling my salted nuts in front of them

before quickly yanking them away."

[ Normal voice ] And finally, Queen Elizabeth said,

[ In British accent ] "Charles, this is why

you can never have the throne!"

[ Cheers and applause, laughter ]

-Really? -[ Normal voice ] He loves squirrels.

-Squirrels? He loves squirrels? -The guys loves squirrels, yeah.

Hey, listen to this, guys -- a man in Japan

just spent $18,000 to marry a cartoon hologram.

That explains why her side of the aisle

didn't have any friends, and why his side didn't, either.

Check this out. For the holidays,

I saw that Jimmy Dean is giving away wrapping paper

that smells like sausage.

[ Light laughter ]

It's being called "the most festive way to make sure

your dog destroys everything under the tree."

[ Laughter ]

This guy gets it.

This guy totally gets it, right here.

Yeah. You know what that means.

It's time for the "This guy gets it" song.

[ Cheers and applause ]
