1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: News when you wanted with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Doug Chrisner. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: We begin in Washington, d C. Where Senate Democratic Leader 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer has dropped his threat to block a Republican 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: spending bill. Now this will pave the way to avoid 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: a US government shutdown. Schumer addressed the Senate, saying there 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: will almost certainly be enough Democratic votes to advance the 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: House funding bill on Friday. 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: While the cr bill is very bad, the potential for 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: a shutdown has consequences for America that are much much worse. 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: That was Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer speaking there. He 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: went on to say that a shutdown would give Donald 12 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: Trump and Elon Musk carte blanche. An American Airlines flight 13 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: was diverted tonight to the Denver International Airport after experiencing 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: engine vibrations. This Boeing seven thirty seven eight hundred landed safely, 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: but then a jet engine caught fire while the aircraft 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: was taxing to the gate. The FAA says it did 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: prompt the evacuation of dozens of passengers. The flight had 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two passengers and a crew of 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: six on board, traveling from Colorado Springs to Dallas. Now, 20 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: some of the passengers were evacuated from the aircraft using slides. 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: Nine people, we are told, suffered minor injuries. The US 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: equity market retreated into a correction today after some heated 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: rhetoric in the trade war. Now, the Trump administration's policy 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: on tariffs is expected to lead to much slower growth, 25 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: even a possible recession, but former US Treasury Secretary Stephen 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Mnuschhan pushed back on that notion today. Here is muchI 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: speaking earlier to Bloomberg. 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: I know there's some talk about are we going to 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: go into a recession. I don't see us at all 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: going into a recession. I think we could have a 31 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: little bit of a slowdown in the economy as we 32 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: pull back on government spending. But I don't think investors 33 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: should be concerned about a recession. 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Former US Treasury Secretary Steve imminution there he also advised 35 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: not to overreact to the current selloff in stocks. The 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: S and P five hundred is now down ten percent 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: from its peak in mid February, meeting the accepted definition 38 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: of a correction, and since that all time high, the 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: SNP has lost about five trillion dollars in market value. 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Earlier today, President Trump threatened to enact a two hundred 41 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: percent levy on European wine, champagne, and other alcoholic beverages. 42 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: He made the threat in response to the EU's plan 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: to tax American whiskey. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik tells Bloomberg 44 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the EU's duties are disrespectful. 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 4: If you make him unhappy, he responds, unhappy, But come on, 46 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: let's get back to the core basics here, which is 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: a trading policy that says America has allowed the world 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: to lean on us, to take from us, to grow 49 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 4: off of us, and now it's time for a little balance. 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: We've got a two trillion dollar budget deficit. We want 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: to bring certain jobs home. Let the President do the 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: right thing for America. 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: That is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik speaking there now. President 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Trump also said he would not repeal tariffs on steel 55 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: and aluminum those that took effect earlier in the week, 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: nor would Trump back off on plans for sweeping reciprocal 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: tariffs on global trading partners. Those are set to start 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: as soon as April second. So if investors believe the 59 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: Fed will come to the rescue in this situation. Should 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: tariffs damage the economy, they may be wrong. That's according 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: to the former president of the New York Fed, Bill Dudley. 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 5: I think the problem is that the terrors are bad 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 5: for growth and bad for inflation, which puts to the 64 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 5: FED in a bind. Basically, they're missing by more on 65 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 5: both sides of their mandate. So I think in the 66 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 5: near term the Fed's could basically be on hold waiting 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: for more information. 68 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: Bill Dudley there. He is the former head of the 69 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: New York Fed. He's also a Bloomberg Opinion columnist. He 70 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: went on to say the FED could be in a 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: bind if tariffs lead to slower growth and high inflation expectations. 72 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: You can read more in Dudley's latest column for Bloomberg 73 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: Opinion at Bloomberg dot com, slash opinion or opi and 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: go on the Bloomberg terminal. Canada's top minister believes his 75 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: country's change in leadership may provide a chance to reset 76 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: its troubled relationship with the US. Mark Karney will become 77 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: Prime Minister on Friday, and he's expected to talk to 78 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: President Trump in the coming days. Here is Canada's industry minister, 79 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: Francois Philippe Champinn. 80 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: I think that we insisted that they may take that 81 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 6: opportunity to engage with the new Prime minister in a 82 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 6: different way, with respect and certainly looking at opportunities that 83 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 6: we can work together and make sure that you know 84 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 6: we changed in Mavia Bidde channel about looking at opportunities 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 6: and competitiveness in North America. 86 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: That is Canada's Industry Minister, Francois Philippe Champinn speaking now. 87 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: Canadian officials have struck an upbeat tone, although it does 88 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: remain unclear whether President Trump will retaliate against Canada's countermeasures 89 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: on his steel and aluminium tariffs. And that is news 90 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm dead, prisoner, 91 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: and this is Bloomberg
