reporter: canada is ok? president trump: we have built something in the last three years that's been incredible. you have seen it. we are up $21 trillion and china is down about $32 trillion. as you know for years i have been hearing that it was 2019, 2019, china will become the largest economy. that didn't happen. we are much larger than china because we have gone up and they have gone down. and they have had their worst year in 56 or 57 years. by far. they have had the worst year they have had that they know of. and we don't want that, frankly. but what they were doing is wrong. and i think they are going to stop it. and they want to make a deal, yes. reporter: on that question, would you commit if there is a country that's delinquent as you put it in paying for their defense spending, would you commit as president of the united states to defend them if they were attacked? president trump: you know i'm going to be discussing that today. that's a very interesting question, isn't it? it also depends on what

mca that will help businesses expand its business into canada. back in 2017 to permit the shopping program. we'll be ablwe will be able to w markets. we could go on and on and on. we try to show how much we care about each other we have such tremendous relationships and righhadright here today in this. i'm not sure what they understand that i don't get, but being here with you all today jobs, jobs and more jobs with the american worker is good for america. i'm hoping they take the night off and get some slee sleep bece they worked tirelessly. thank you for holding the hearing and you know what, i am so happy for america right now, this is what we are supposed to do. thank you so much and i will yield back. >> you should also note i work to another stage of the political thought as i let the negotiation on this. mick jagger, you get what you need. let me recognize an individual but again had an enormous influence on the outcome. >> thank you mr. chairman and in the spirit of my friends i have a. under this agreement it could be. for the pharmaceut

for canada and the united states. it's a lot of jobs for everybody. and it replaces a deal that's a ousy deal, bad deal for -- i would say the united states the deal that we have right now is terrible. terrible. a terrible deal for the united states. it we look forward to being able to vote on -- take the vote on usmca. it's been there for a long time. and at some point perhaps the president of mexico, we have a wonderful man there. he's been a wonderful man. the prime minister will get tired, look, let's forget this deal. can i understand if you did. it's been sitting in congress now for six or seven months. it's a great deal for everybody. hopefully they can get it done and get it done fast. it's one of the few transactions i think all three countries benefit. as a unit against the world. if you look at t it's a unit against the world. that's the way we looked at it right from the beginning. we hope that's the case. again congratulations. we are going to be talking about a number of subjects, including additional trade. it the military and military

our number one trading partner by far is canada. we send about 40% of our exports to one country, canada. and so to have a better agreement with our biggest trading partner and our second biggest trading partner, which is mexico, is really important. alongside mexico, our trade with canada accounts for about $28 billion a year. and i'm hearing a lot about it. i'm hearing from ohio farmers. they have had a tough time. the combination of bad weather, combination of shrinking market for them in china, a combination of just low commodity prices even going in to the bad weather period last year has made it really tough for farmers. a lot of them are having a very difficult time making ends meet this year. they see the usmca for what it is, which is an expansion of their market. they can sell more stuff to canada and to mexico. that would help them to improve their prices and help them to be able to get through this tough period. so for them, it's a light at the end of the tunnel. if we can get this new trade agreement passed, it means ex

to open canada markers for u.s. farmers to sell eggs wheat derry to canada. our service providers will be able to lock and access to mexico and canadian customers. the agreement is enforceable, allowing us to challenge violations and stopping countries from blocking those challenges. holding mexico and canada accountable for these new rules. for america, this means more jobs. it means more customers and it gives america's animators tools they need to succeed here in america. we can compete with countries like china. independent experts predict this agreement will spur over $68 billion in new economic activity, more than a hundred and 76000 american jobs are set to be created including 76000 new auto sector jobs. and best of all, for the american people, the usmca is truly a bipartisan agreement, not a trade deal fills with purely leftist ideas. chairman neil's credit, house democrats worked in good faith with ambassador lies heiser on the packed, and i want to thank each chairman neil for your hard work in finding consensus on this agreement. we are glad to s

right after that i traveled to canada to meet with the prime minister of canada. and the minister for defense and trade. they are, i believe they were good partners in this. they conceded just about to every point that we asked for because enforcibility, enforcibility, enforcibility. with that, madam speaker, i turn it back to you. speaker pelosi: turn it to jan schakowsky. champion on the issue. ms. schakowsky: it's been an honor to serve on the working group. the trump administration sent us a deeply flawed trade deal that, among other things, would have raised the price of pharmaceuticals across north america by locking in high drug prices and expanding big phrma's monopoly. over the past six months, my democratic colleagues and i on the working group we worked for a deal that helps america's patients, workers, and all consumers. we now have a new and improved renegotiated nafta that prevents big phrma from raising the price of prescription drugs across the united states, mexico, and canada. first, we eliminated provision that is undermine congress' ability to

tocourse, that comes windsor, and canada. trade in the 1800s in detroit, -- a city we know now is the motor city, was cigar capital of america. we were not only transporting in raw material, but out finish material. there were days in the 1860's we knew had 7000-10,000 railroad cars waiting to be transported that could knock it across the river because they would come into detroit via train, and wait for fairies to take them to canada. that backlog made the conversation about a tunnel or bridge take the national forefront by 1870. something had to be done because we had storehouses filling up, waiting for this transportation that was very slow because fairies can only transport 50-75 cars at a time. not quick enough to catch up with how much a train was able to bring in. boomtownt grosses a following the civil war, we needed an infrastructure that could supply taking from canada and getting over to detroit. that means building both the tunnel, and leader the bridge. we have two tunnels under the detroit river. one is for trai

obviously, it's so big because canada and mexico are such big trading partners with us. even relatively small changes to especially 0 up new markets has a big impact. these are going to be welcome jobs, and, again, higher paying jobs. second it really helps with regard to online sales. one of our advantages as a country is we do a lot of commerce over the internet. when the original nafta agreement was written and was currently enforced, the status quo, there were not significantly online sales, virtually none, so there is no provision in there. every modern trade agreement has provisions for online sales, for sales over the internet. now we have them with regard to mexico and canada, which we would not have had under the old nafta. that's a big improvement. for ohio, that's a lot of small companies because entrepreneurs, some of these new start-ups are online companies. they really like this provision. and by the way, it says a number of things. it says you can't require localization of data. in other words, canada and mexico can't say hey, you have to have your servers

and canada. there are some exposures to europe, little bit in asia, but that is more along the lines of wealth management, a little bit capital markets. they have been struggling with revenue growth in europe. they don't have the same credit exposure as some global banks do. canadian bankshe really is, with the outlook for canadian gdp being tepid, they are looking for growth outside of canada, but that has been largely focused in the u.s.. amanda: since the credit crisis, phenomenalreturned capital gains. stocks have performed extremely well, but they have also returned yield. that should not have been at the same time for 10 years in a row. bmo, 4.3%. can they be both a capital gain and yielding stock? john: capital gains may start to slow as earnings growth darts to slow. canadian banks can generate eps growth 10% and above. you look at that in terms of the gain in share price. canadian banks can generate eps given where they are, the tepid outlook for canada, not fantastic outlook for the u.s

it pushed canada's unemployment rate up to 5.9%. we at gains running atunemployme challenges that faces the successor to bank of canada governor stephen poloz. he says he will step down in june, the official end of his term, that is a seven-your mandate coming to an end. first question, how surprising is it? we don't see a lot of two-term governor's here. i wonder whether you were surprised when stephen poloz said he would go? >> i don't think it was a surprise. had mused about the possibility of staying around year, but largely the expectation was that he would be a one term governor, particularly given his age. 64 years old. another seven years would taken year, but largely the expectation was that he wouldbeyond 70. no one really expected him to stay beyond the june. there was some question about whether it we did enter some , that thecession government may want some continuity there. that doesn't seem to be the base case. he officially announced that he is leaving, after many months of speculation. vonnie: the timing was a lot o

to meet with the prime minister of canada and the minister for defense and trade free land. they are, i believe, they were good partners in this and conceded just about every point that we asked for because of the following bit in force ability, and force ability, enforceability prayed with that, i turn it back to you. >> [inaudible] >> thank you. it's been an honor to serve on the working group. the trump administration set up a deeply flawed trade deal that, among other things, would have raised the price of pharmaceuticals across north america by locking in high drug prices and expanding big pharma monopoly. over the past six months my democratic colleagues and i on the working group we worked for a deal that helps america's patients, workers and all consumers. we now have a new and improved renegotiated nafta that prevents big pharma from raising the price of prescription drugs across the united states, mexico and canada. first, we illuminated provisions that undermined congress' ability to change domestic policy that lead to high drug prices. the trump administration tr

could canada move on huawei, for example? it would seem like everybody would benefit at this point from a usmca ratification. josh: canada really isn't the sticking point. trudeau would like to get an agreement. he got cut down to a minority agreement in that election. they also have it rabbit five -- they also haven't ratified. josh, thanks for the update. great to get your perspective. josh wingrove joining us from the white house. let's get more perspective on what is happening with these markets and how the president's comments are being taken. he's adjusted a little earlier on that i deal with china could be put off for another year until after the election. base case.ket's here with us is daniel morris, bnp paribas senior investment strategist. is it the base case that we get a deal before december 15, and that we don't see further tariffs being applied? can i still rely on that being case?se up until about 24 hours ago, that is what the market was relying on. daniel: there are two risks. that is the most obvious one. t

one -- i visited canada so many times. i'm so proud to call them friends. 37 million people in canada, some of the finest people that god ever put breath in. we fought together in wars. we fought for freedom that we all take for granted. we trade with each other. there's just -- i mean, the country is just -- it's a wonderful country and just extraordinarily friendly, decent, god-fearing people. our leaders squabble sometimes. you know, that's just the way life is. sometimes good friends have disagreements, but -- but -- and we're having a few little disagreements right now. but on this -- on this beautiful thursday, i just wanted to come and say how espionage i -- how thankful i am that canada is our friend and how honored i am to call them friends and how grateful i am for all 37 million of the fine men, women, and children in that great country. thank you, mr. chairman. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator for

it is a great deal from x ago and for canada and the united states -- deal for mexico and for canada and the united states. it releases a really bad deal, a lousy deal. i can tell you, but i would say for the united states, the deal that we have right now is terrible, nafta. it is a terrible deal for the united states. tolook forward to being able take a vote on usmca. it's taken a long time, and at some point, perhaps the president of mexico -- we have a wonderful man there, you know, they will get tired, and the prime minister will get tired, and say, let's forget this. i would understand it. it's been sitting in congress now for six or seven months. it's a great deal for everybody, so hopefully they can get it done and get it done fast. it's one of the few transactions i think all three countries benefit, really as a unit, against the world. really as a unit against the world, and that's the way we looked at it right from the beginning. we hope that's the case. again, congratulations, where we are talking about a number of subjects. the military and the military presence. it is gr

i traveled to meet the president of mexico and after that i traveled to canada to meet with the pre- minister and the minister for defense and trade. they were partners in this because enforceability. with that i will turn it back over to you. it has been an honor to serve with the working group. the shrub administration sen ses a deeply small trade that would have raised the price of pharmaceuticals across north america by walking in high drug prices and expanding the monopoly. over the past six months my democratic colleagues and i am the working group worked for a deal that helps america's patients, workers and consumers. we now have a new and improved pre- negotiated nafta for the prescription drugs across the united states, mexico and canada and we have the provisions that undermine the ability to change domestic policies. there are corporate gifts to the big pharma inc. u.s. mca in tene ten years of market exclusivity for biologics. though we currently have in the united states 12 years of exclusivity in the united states, this trade bill would have tied it congress's hands and

mexico and canada. you if youll tell put it on the floor it will pass , but that all rests with the speaker of the house. she is also the same person who 70 days ago started down this nightmare. and nowhave proof then we have a phone call before us, america sees it and now we are watching holes in america continue to drop. the final question for the theker is, when will we get mexico and canada trade agreement? when is the funding bill to fund troops and more importantly, how will we be able to make our country stronger and more prosperous? is name me onen becauseyou have solved they have issued more subpoenas than they have created laws. we are better than this and i hope the speaker meant the words she said on march 11. if she set a criteria to march forward, she needs to answer the question what is compelling, overwhelming and where is the bipartisanship? that would put an end to this nightmare in we can work forward to make america stronger. whatu always criticized was found [inaudible] isn't the ri

canada mexico and the u.s. has signed a new free trade agreement to replace the try to 5 year old nafta deal it was sealed hours after the u.s. congress announced its support. reports now from the mexican capital where it was signed the. mexican president and that is when we met with representatives from the united states and canada on tuesday for the signing of the us and seeing. a trade deal that stalled for months pending a series of changes demanded by democrats in the u.s. house of representatives u.s. trade officials touted the deal as a major accomplishment one that ends the age of the north american free trade agreement or nafta and it's nothing short of a miracle that we have all come together i think that's a testament to how good the agreement is but perhaps more importantly it's a testament to how long it will last and how people will be coming to north america and how vibrant the economy this will be for all of us so it is such canada's deputy prime minister chrystia freeland called the u.s. m.c.a.

then we look at indigenous resistance in canada and the united states, from the dakota access pipeline to the alberta tar sands. we will speak with canada's indigenous climate action eriell derangnger. >>>> we brought in an indigenous cop25organizatioion to the to p promote and standnd up fore indigenous peoples's rights. amy: and we look at the explosive "washington post" expose on the history of the u.s. war in afghanistan. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are broadcasting from the madrid,mate summit in spain. back in the united states, house democratic lawmakers are expected to unveil articles of impeachment today, charging president trump with abuse of power and conduct they say presents a clear and present danger to national security and the upcoming 2020 election.

. >> the president of unite states mexico canada shook down a foreign power to get involved in our election. that's wrong. >> we get it. you don't like him that. doesn't mean you can banish him from the marketplace. you can't send him out of his businesses and say he can't hold a position of honor or trust. you don't get the right to do that. the people of this country do. we live in a republic. i'm just sick of this. congressman johnson is not alone. senate republicans are planning for a quick trial in the new year, although the president may need some convincing. >> i could do... i'll do whatever i want. look, we did nothing wrong. so i'll do long or short. i've heard mitch. i've heard lynn say. i think they are very much on agreement on some concept. i'll do whatever they want to do. it doesn't matter. >> brennan: we'll get judiciary committee chairman lindsey graham's thoughts on a trial. the number-two democrat in the senate, richard durbin, will also weigh in. then the administration makes big progress on two major trade agreements. we'll talk with u.s. trade representative robert lig

-mexico-canada agreement is a major win for america. president trump and ambassador lighthizer have fought hard and delivered on the promise for progrowth and a modern trade pact with our north american neighbors. now it is time for congress to pass this agreement as soon as possible without further delay. for our farmers, our tech community and our local small businesses. this agreement means more jobs, more customers for american goods and a stronger economy for the united states. i give president trump credit for creating a new bipartisan model for free and fair trade, it levels the playing field for american workers and can be used in future trade agreements. this agreement sends a strong signal to the world and to our trading partners that america is open for trade. we will work diligently with our trading partners around the world for agreements that are free, fair, and level the playing field for american workers and farmers. i think the leadership of the house conference for leading the charge and raising the profile insisting c

he brought canada intuit. if you could not get them all at once like he tried, he showed the art of the deal how to make it happen. it was some of the finest negotiations i have seen by this president, and it showed if he did not have to spend all this time being investigated, how much greater this country will be and how much greater potential we will have. >> house democrats move ahead with two articles of impeachment against president trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. read the text now on our website c-span.org/impeachment. wednesday at 7:00 p.m. eastern members of the digit shared midi -- judiciary committee will meet to write processhe impeachment ate on c-span two, online c-span.org, or listen live on the free c-span radio app. event yesterday, a report coming from the inspector general taking a look at actions of the fbi and joining us on the phone to talk about it is jeff murdock, has the lead story taking a look at the warrant application looking at carter page. good

where would you put canada in that? >> slightly clinic went. some are major delinquent, some are way below one percent and that's unacceptable. and if something happens, we're supposed to protect them and it's not fair and it never has been fair. we are talking to germany tomorrow and they're starting to come along. they have to. they have to. otherwise, if they don't want to, i'll have to do something with respect to trade. and with trade i have all the cards. we have built something in the past three years that's been incredible. you've seen it. we're up $21 trillion and china is down about $32 trillion. and as you know, for years i've been hearing that it was 2019, and in 2019 china is going to become the largest economy. well, that didn't happen. we're much larger than china now because we've gone up and they've gone down. and they've had their worst year in 56 or 57 years now. by far, they've had the worst year that they know of. and we don't want that, frankly. but what they were doing was wrong. and i think they're going to stop it. and

mexico canada agreement, the usmca. we'll show you what we can until the start of the hearing. >> good morning, everyone. this is a day we've all been working to and working for on the path to yes. we were in range for a while, but until we could cross a certain threshold of enforcement for our workers' rights, for environment and for the prescription drug issue, as you know, they were three of the areas that we had put out there. i want to thank our chairman, richie neil, chair of the ways and means committee, the eight members of the task force. i will acknowledge momentarily by thanking them for their leadership in negotiating on different segments of the legislation. i also want to thank richard trumpka, he was persistent, dissatisfied, knowledgeable. he really got us to a place which is a far distance from where we started with the proposal that was given to us. there's no question of course that this trade agreement is much better than nafta. but in terms of our work here, it is infinitely better than what was pro

mexico and canada are trying to improve their trade relations the u.s. storing the world trade organization into disarray well but there has been a lot of criticism in regards to the world trade organization not just under president donald trump but also under the obama administration what the united states is basically looking for is not treating china especially in a different way but the same way as the united states and also a lot of a european countries are getting treated china does not have to follow the same rules even as it is the 2nd biggest economy in the world so obviously change is important but as i said we already had other presidents who did not replace the judges necessary saw the whole thing may be escalated under u.s. president donald trump but it clearly did not start with this administration has scored in new york thank you. the cost of living is rising in china as the national bureau of statistics clocks inflation climbing at the fastest rate in years one of the key reasons is the country's outbreak of african swine fever the countr

mobile network in canada but the majority of people polled think ottawa's shouldn't do it they should reject the company's big keep them out and also a higher number of people so they had a more negative review our view of china in general than in years past you also had prime minister justin trudeau they wanted to take a harder stance on china after he tried to sign a free trade agreement a country that came to an abrupt end so there's just a slew of problems that basically have some canadians going after we don't really want to keep china at arm's length and even in china is not getting a lot of sympathy she's considered a princess if you will because she's the daughter of the founder of the company which is already being criticized. china for overworking their employees here she's being held under apartheid house arrest in a $10000000.00 mansion one of 2 that she and mann coover and there's still a controversial case of another former huawei employee in china that's making a lot of headlines there when the company imprisoned him for allegations of extortion so does a lot of unrest

the relationship between canada and the united states is incredibly strong. i don't think it's ever been stronger. our work together on the usmca was we move forward towards ratification has been tremendous. it's been a great process working with between your team and our team, working with the mexicans as well. we know that we're here for nato, 70th anniversary extremely important. the american strength in ensuring that people are stepping up in terms of their military investment is certainly something we've recognize this is canada where increasing our defense investments by 70% over these ten years because we know that making sure that everyone is there to step up and deliver is really important and we have had -- leading the command mission in baghdad, canadians are a strong part of this alliance and we'll continue to be this. is just a great opportunity for me to sit down with the president and talk about the many issues in which we align and work together.
