impose his 25% tariffs on Canada and. Mexico at midnight tonight tariffs on.

Trump's announcement that he's moving. forward with sweeping new tariffs. against Canada and Mexico at the stroke.

of midnight Trump saying there's nothing. they can do to change his mind no room. left for Mexico or for Canada no the. tariffs uh you know they're all set. Trump adding a 25% tax on all Goods. coming across the border from Mexico and. Canada and an additional 10% on Chinese. products economists point out the cost. will be paid by American businesses who. will pass it on to Consumers by raising. prices by one estimate the average. household will spend up to $22,000 more. a year on everything from produce to.

clothes to electronics the cost of a new. car could Spike. $3,000 the CEO of Ford warning long-term. a 25% tariff across the Mexico and. Canada borders would blow a hole in the. US industry that we've never seen Trump. undeterred so what they have to do is. build their car plants frankly and other. things in the United States but. legendary investor Warren Buffett. calling tariffs essentially an act of. War I mean tariffs are actually we've. had a lot of experience with them.

they're they're an act of War to some. degree and tonight Mexico and Canada. already vowing to retaliate by slapping. taxes on American Goods we will have a. strong unequivocal and proportional. response as Canadians expect already the. anger is. palpable Canadians booing The Star. Spangled Banner when the LA Galaxy. soccer team played the Vancouver White. Caps overnight and when Trump first. threatened tariffs Canadian liquor. stores took American whiskey off the.

shelves Trump insists his tariffs are. meant to pressure Mexico and Canada to. stop the flow of deadly drugs and. migrants coming into the country but. less than 1% of the fenel seized coming. into the US last year came across the. Canadian border over the last month both. countries trying to negotiate Canada. appointing a fenel zar Mexico surging. 10,000 troops to the border and sending. back criminals wanted in the US but. Trump tonight says it isn't enough and. seem to to expand his reasons for.

imposing these tariffs in the first. place they can't come in and steal our. money and steal our jobs and take our. factories and take our businesses and. expect not to be punished and they're. being punished by tariffs and you can be. sure we'll be hearing more about these. tariffs tomorrow night when the. president delivers his first address. before a joint session of Congress since. returning to the White House but there. are real concerns that these tariffs. could drive up prices just as inflation. is also Rising something the president. promised to address on day one All Eyes.

now on how he tackles these economic. issues tomorrow night David Mary Bruce. live at the White House Mary thank you. and of course Mary and our entire. political team will right be right here. tomorrow night the presidential address. to the nation at a joint session of. Congress tomorrow at 900m Eastern right. here on ABC tomorrow night the president. will also no doubt address the situation. with Ukraine for three years the US has. been Ukraine's most vital Ally after. Russia invaded But the world also. witnessed that showdown in the Oval. Office between President Trump and. president zinsky on Friday our Rachel.

Scott asking the president today what. would it take for him to make the deal. with zinski after all as the Kremlin. tonight now says president Trump's. Vision largely aligns with theirs. tonight at the White House I pressed. president Trump on what it would take to. restart peace talks with Ukraine after. that showdown in the Oval Office Trump. and vice president JD Vance berading. Ukrainian president zalinski thank you. Mr President what do you need to see. from president zinsky to restart these. negotiations well I just think should be. more appreciative because this country.

has stuck with them through thick and. thin their blow up shocking the world on. a day when Ukraine was supposed to be. signing a mineral agreement with the US. that would have brought them one step. closer to peace instead a shouting match. your country is in big trouble I know. you're not winning you're not winning. this I you have a damn good chance of. coming out okay because of us Mr. President we are staying in our country. staying strong from the very beginning. of the war we've been alone and we are. thankful and an ultimatum you're either.

going to make a deal or we're out and if. we're out you'll fight it out I don't. think it's going to be pretty but you'll. fight it out but you don't have the. cards Trump kicking zalinsky out of the. White House but Europe later embracing. him over the weekend allies calling him. to an emergency meeting King Charles. extending a rare invitation tonight. zalinsky addressing Ukraine saying we. need peace real Fair peace not endless. war and we need security guarantees.

earlier noting an agreement to end the. war is still very very far away he said. he thinks the war's going to go on for a. long time uh and he better not be right. about that that's all I'm saying the. rift between Trump and zalinski music to. the years of Vladimir Putin the Kremlin. today saying Trump's foreign policy is. quote largely in line with our vision. Russia says that your administration's. foreign policy is quote largely in line. with their Vision well I tell you what I.

think it takes two to tango and you're. going to have to make a deal with Russia. and you're going to have to make a deal. with Ukraine now maybe somebody doesn't. want to make a deal and if somebody. doesn't want to make a deal I think that. person won't be around very long and. late tonight two White House officials. telling ABC News president Trump has. officially ordered a pause and all. military aid to Ukraine zinski has made. it clear that he wants lasting peace and. that he's eager to get that minerals. deal across the finish line but tonight. growing concern from Democrats and even. some Republicans that the administration.

is turning toward Russia Democratic. senator Chris Murphy saying this. Administration is now becoming an arm of. the Kremlin David Rachel Scott at the. White House as well tonight Rachel thank. you after the plane crash here in. Washington over the pomac and those. warnings right beforehand that Blackhawk. too close to the passenger jet there's. news tonight that there have been. multiple warnings since for Pilots. coming into Washington including. passenger Jets but those Pilots say. there isn't other aircraft nearby when. they're getting these alerts so what's. happening why do the alerts and is the.

system working here's Gio. Bonz just weeks after that deadly midair. crash over the pomac river moments after. a Blackhawk helicopter was warned it was. too close to a passenger jet now comes. word that multiple Pilots received. Collision alerts on Final Approach to. Reagan National Airport but this time it. would appear those warnings are false. alarms and authorities are asking what's. going on we got a couple of traffic. advisories the coton we didn't see. anybody either a source with direct. direct knowledge telling ABC news six.

planes received those midair Collision. warnings in the cockpit Saturday three. forced to perform go-arounds those. traffic collision avoidance systems. known as tcast alert Pilots if another. aircraft is nearby or on a collision. course with their plane but no other. planes were close there's no known. traffic between you and the field we've. had multiple arrivals today report pasas. and Ras for unknown targets these. cautious experts say it's critical these. systems work proper to avoid false.

alarms it's a potential major. distraction of a flight crew at a very. critical time of flight which is landing. so if these are not real warnings and. they haven't been they're distracting. and they're. dangerous and David it is critical that. Pilots aren't distracted that they're. focused on that Runway so the FAA will. investigate David Gio Bonita is back on. this for us Gio thank you overseas. tonight the dramatic and deadly scene. unfolding in Manheim Germany a driver. plowing into pedestrians at a carnival. authorities say at least two people were. killed dozens injured children were.
