Chapter 4: What is the strategy behind new semiconductor tariffs?
Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett telling CNN the White House is negotiating with more than 130 countries. Vice President J.D. Vance is expected to visit India next week, a diplomatic outreach as trade negotiators work out a new deal with Indian counterparts.
On Friday, the White House exempting some Chinese electronics from the 145% tariff rate, which many in the tech world celebrated. But Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick warned that some items, like semiconductors, will be facing new tariffs within the next two months. Mr. Lutnick explained that the levies are needed to encourage U.S.
production of these chips, which are currently made mostly in East Asia.
Those products are going to be part of the semiconductor sectoral tariffs which are coming. So you're going to see this week there'll be a register in the federal registry. There'll be a notice put out. That is different types of work. So we're going to do that. We did that in autos. The president's going to do it for pharmaceuticals, and he's going to do it for semiconductors.
Chapter 5: What is the status of U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations?
So all those products are going to come under semiconductors, and they're going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors. We need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels. We need to have these things made in America. We can't be reliant on Southeast Asia.
Senior Counselor to the President Peter Navarro on NBC breaking it down further.
When we have a flood of imports being dumped into certain key strategic sectors, steel, aluminum, chips, pharmaceuticals, as we learned during COVID, we have to take specific action. So what we're doing with chips, the problem, interestingly, for chips, because it's very complex stuff, is that we don't buy a lot of chips like in bags. We buy them in products.
Chapter 6: What actions are being taken regarding migrant deportations?
So what Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is going to do is doing as we speak is an investigation of the chip supply chain. The goal is stability and resilience. And you will see actions taken based on those investigations on copper. We've already have steel in a moment. We already have autos. There will be pharmaceuticals and there will be chips.
In other news, the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, set to visit the White House later today to discuss further cooperation with migrant deportations. Mr. Bukele agreeing to accept and hold deported illegal aliens in his Supermax prison in exchange for a relatively small fee. More than 200 have been sent so far.
Chapter 7: How is El Salvador transforming under Bukele's leadership?
Under President Bukele's leadership, El Salvador transforming from the murder capital of the world into one of the safest places to visit. Mr. Bukele using emergency powers to implement a military crackdown on gangs, locking up more than 76,000 Salvadorans. Many human rights groups decrying the move, saying detainees are denied due process. President Trump praising Mr. Bukele ahead of the meeting.
I think he's doing a fantastic job and He's taking care of a lot of problems that we have that we really wouldn't be able to take care of from a cost standpoint. And he's doing really, he's been amazing. We have some very bad people in that prison, people that should have never been allowed into our country, people that murdered.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruling the Trump administration must facilitate, but not effectuate, the return of mistakenly deported Salvadoran citizen, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. The administration claims Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13 based on earlier findings of two immigration courts.
In 2019, a judge allowed Mr. Garcia to not be deported to El Salvador, saying he faced threats of gang violence if returned. The DOJ acknowledges Mr. Garcia was mistakenly deported to the one country that the immigration court had said we cannot send him to, El Salvador, and there he currently sits in the Supermax prison, quote, alive and secure, according to our State Department.
What to do with Mr. Garcia likely to be a topic of conversation in today's meeting. President Trump did not mention Mr. Garcia specifically, but posted to Truth Social on Saturday, quote, these barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign nation, and their future is up to President B and his government. Over the weekend, the U.S.
and Iran kicking off a nuclear negotiation. The Iranians seeking sanctions relief. The U.S. seeking to prevent the world's largest state sponsor of terror from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon. President Trump announcing last week that the talks would be direct. The Iranians insisting... They would not be. They want indirect and coordinated through Oman.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff did speak directly with the Iranian foreign minister at the conclusion of Saturday's talks. President Trump responding to the initial discussion on Air Force One. President Trump, in 2018, withdrawing the U.S. from the Iranian nuclear agreement reached under the Obama administration.
That agreement gave the regime sanctions relief in exchange for purported limits on Iran's nuclear program. President Trump argued the deal failed to provide any meaningful prevention of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. The Iranians maintaining their nuclear program is purely civilian in nature.
However, the International Atomic Energy Agency reporting the Iranians have enriched enough uranium to make at least six nuclear bombs. The New York Times reporting on Friday, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, agreeing to initiate the talks at the request of his top advisers.
