Canada VOWS RETALIATION after trade talks COLLAPSE

♪♪. RACHEL: ALL RIGHT. TRADE TALKS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND. CANADA COLLAPSING OVERNIGHT. A 50% TARIFF ON $20 BILLION. WORTH OF CANADIAN GOODS TAKING. EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS. CANADA WALKED AWAY FROM A DEAL. THAT WOULD AFFECT TARIFFS ON. STEEL, ALUMINUM, AUTOS AND. LUMBER. NOW CANADA IS PROMISING TO HIT. BACK DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR, RAISING. THE STAKES IN A MAJOR FIGHT WITH.

ONE OF AMERICA'S CLOSEST TRADING. PARTNERS. HERE TO TELL US MORE IS U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE, AMBASSADOR. JAMIESON GREER. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN. FROM HERE? DO YOU THINK TALKS WILL GET BACK. ON TRACK, OR WILL THERE BE A. PAUSE FOR A WHILE? IS. >> WE DON'T HAVE NEW TALKS. PLANNED WITH THE CANADIANS. WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH. MEASURES THAT RESPOND TO. CANADIAN RETALIATION. REMEMBER, AS PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. INTRODUCED A TRADE POLICY TO. RESHORE AMERICAN PRODUCTION, TWO. COUNTRIES HAVE RETALIATED.

AGAINST THE UNITED STATES; THE. PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA AND. CANADA. RACHEL: AND CANADA DOES A LOT OF. BUSINESS WITH CHINA. >> THEY DO. AND THEY CONTINUE TO RETALIATE. AND AFTER A YEAR, WE'VE SAID. ENOUGH, AND WE'VE TAKEN. COUNTERMEASURES. WE'RE INTERESTED IN PROTECTING. AMERICAN WORKERS AND SUPPLY. CHAINS. WE'VE BEEN OFFERING TO --. [INAUDIBLE]. ON THAT PATH TO REALLY CUT THE. TARIFFS ON THEM, STEEL, AUTOS, THINGS THAT ARE SENSITIVE FOR. THEM.

AND THEY'VE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST. DEAL, AND THEY WOULD HAVE AN. EVEN BETTER DEAL, BUT THEY. DIDN'T WANT THAT. RACHEL: VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE OUT IN OHIO WAS TALKING. ABOUT AMERICAN WORKERS BEING. REPLACED BY LABORERS OVERSEAS. WATCH. >> THEY HAVE VOTED FOR. CORPORATIONS WHO SENT JOBS. OVERSEAS RATHER THAN GOOD. AMERICAN BUSINESSES WHO INVESTED. IN YOU, INVESTED IN YOUR. COMMUNITIES AND INCREASED YOUR. JOBS. WHO DO THESE DEMOCRATS PUT. FURTHER? -- FIRST? EVERYONE ELSE. DO YOU KNOW WHO THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION PUTS FIRST IN.

AMERICANS. YOU, MY FRIENDS, THAT'S WHO WE. FIGHT MORE. [APPLAUSE]. RACHEL: ALSO HERE, AMBASSADOR, HERE IS A TRUTH SOCIAL POST BY. PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE SAYS FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS, THE UNITED STATES WILL ALLOW UP. TO 300,000 METRIC TONS OF GROUND. BEEF TO BE IMPORTED WITH NO OUT. OF QUOTA TARIFF. WE HAVE A COMMITMENT THAT THIS. BEEF WILL BE SOLD AT 25% BELOW. CURRENT MARKET PRICES. SO YOU CAN SEE HERE IN THIS. GRAPHIC THAT WE HAVE HERE THE.

GROUND BEEF AND ROAST BEEF, BEEF. ROAST PRICES AND HOW THEY'VE. INCREASED. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING, LOOK, YOU'RE JUST DOING THIS BECAUSE. YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE MIDTERMS, YOU WANT TO START TO BRING. PRICES DOWN, AND NOT EVERY. REPUBLICAN HAS BEEN ON BOARD. WITH THIS, REPRESENTATIVE THE --. I MEAN, SENATOR TIM SHEEHY, WHO. REPRESENTS A LOT OF RANCHERS, SAYS THIS WILL HURT HIS. CONSTITUENTS. WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE TO SENATOR. SHEEHY ON THIS. >> FIRST OF ALL, SENATOR. SHEEHY'S A STAND-UP GUY, REALLY.

PART OF THE TEAM. WE KNOW HIS CONSTITUENCY IS. RANCHERS, SO HE'S STANDING UP. WHAT I WILL SAY IS UNDER. PRESIDENT BIDEN, THE PRICE OF. BEEF SKYROCKETED. FINALLY, WE'VE STABILIZED IT A. LITTLE WIT. THE PRICE OF BEEF CAME DOWN A. LITTLE BIT LAST MONTH WHICH IS. GREAT, AND THIS 300,000 METRIC. TONS, THE PRESIDENT'S AGREED TO. COME IN JUST FOR 90 DAYS. IT ONLY REPRESENTS ABOUT 2.5% OF. ANNUAL CONSUMPTION, SO IT'S. GOING TO BE DESIGNED TO BRING IN. THE BEEF THAT CONSUMERS NEED THE.

MOST. RACHEL: OKAY, THIS LAST TOPIC IS. VERY DEAR TO MY HEART I'VE BEEN. TALKING FOR A LONG TIME HERE ON. THIS NETWORK ABOUT THE HUMAN. RIGHTS ABUSES OVERSEAS, SLAVE. LABOR, SWEAT SHOPS. AND THIS ADMINISTRATION FINALLY. IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT WHAT. YOU'RE DOING THROUGH TARIFFS TO. BRING, TO REALLY CRACK DOWN ON. SLAVE LABOR OVERSEAS AND MAKE. SURE AMERICAN WORKERS AREN'T. COMPETING WITH SLAVE LABOR WHICH. IS GREAT FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. BUT ALSO A LOT OF THESE SLAVE.

LABORERS ARE CHILDREN. >> THAT'S RIGHT. SO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S ALWAYS. BEEN THE PARTY OF FREEDOM. IF ABRAHAM LINCOLN FREED THE. SLAVES. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TRADE POLICIES. HAVE ALSO PREVENTED THE IMPORT. OF GOODS INTO THE UNITED STATES. MADE WITH SLAVE LABOR OR FORCED. LABOR OVERSEAS. WE HAVE REALLY STRONG LAWS IN. AMERICA THAT DO THAT. OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T HAVE THESE. LAWS. AND SO PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID. EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE THESE LAWS. TO PROHIBIT THE IMPORTED GOOD OF. FORCED LABOR.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S. UNFAIR TRADE. UNIONS IN AUTO FACTORIES WHO. MAKE THE CARS HERE, THEY. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COMPETE WITH. THAT. WE'LL HAVE SOME TARIFFS UNTIL. THEY CHANGE THEIR RULES. RACHEL: IT'S UNFAIR AND ALSO. IMMORAL, SO KUDOS TO YOUR. ADMINISTRATION AND TO YOUR WORK. FOR RAISING THE BAR FOR ALL. LABOR. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE SLAVE LABOR, AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT.
