the white house is concerned about the economy. we know that president trump has had conversations with aides recently about whether this trade war with china could impact his chances going into a 2020 reelection campaign. keep in mind, u.s. steel is losing jobs, rv sales are down, which is an indicator of the strength of the economy moving forward. aside from that, there's volatility in the stock market. so of course the president having touted his record on the economy as one of his strongest selling points for voters, has to be concerned about a potential recession going into 2020. aside from that, we will hear from the president today. he's set to welcome to president of romania into the white house and you can bet reporters will be asking him about these potential tax cuts. >> boris sanchez, always good to have you. thanks very much. >> will congress do anything when it comes to stronger background checks on gun sales once they return from recess? remember all the talk about coming back early? we're going to ask a democratic c

how does the white house see it? >> jim, this is another wrinkle in the white house's efforts to calm fears of economic strain. we heard peter navarro try to downplay this and we asked the white house for an official statement about the tariffs. we haven't heard back yet. recall that last week president trump did delay the imposition of additional tariffs on some chinese goods, delayed them until december. but that was not necessarily an olive branch to china. that was, in fact, something that the president did largely because he was afraid of how those tariffs could potentially affect americans during the christmas shopping season. that's what sources told cnn at the time. and those were tariffs that he decided to move forward with earlier this month after a period of relative calm over the summer. recall that in june, president trump indefinitely suspended the kplen ta implementation of the new tariffs. that was when he last sat down with xi jinping at the summit. they have hit a snag and the administration not see

we both worked under president obama at the white house. we were both staffing g-8s when russia was the skunk at the g-8 party. russia didn't un-invade ukraine. russia didn't un-annex crimea. at this point, what president trump is doing is criticizing his predecessor on foreign soil, and really not paying attention to the fact that russia has continued to engage in destabilizing activities. and what president trump is doing is signaling that he's open to rewarding bad behavior for a reason unbeknownst to us, which may just be, he wants to keep putin happy. now, finally, ana, as sarah just pointed out, we don't even know if putin wants to come to an actual g-7 meeting. so this shows that trump is really speaking off the cuff without coordination with allies. and his most important focus right now is criticizing president obama and reinventing history. >> and in the next breath, hagar, he says, i don't care about politics. >> right. >> i do what's right. was that on display? >> you know, one of the things that i found fascinating was that he

we have seen the white house take this route before. this would be the white house trying to invoke executive privilege over a conversation that lewandowski had with the president, even though he's never held any time in the white house or even in the administration overall. he's only been an informal adviser since the 2016 campaign, so there are questions about exactly how the white house would proceed with trying to invoke privilege over corey lewandowski. phil junior laid out exactly what the democrats want to talk about. those are conversations that the white house doesn't want lewandowski to -- so we're seeing skepticism that this route might actually work. executive privilege exists so the president can have confidential conversations with people who are working within the highest level. they haven't made a final decision, this is the way they're going to try to go forward, but it's something we're being told is still being considered. >> indicate lan collins and phil mattingly, thank you. >>> we're getting details on spending inv

even with the plunge stocks up 40% since trump won the white house. is it possible, secretary, that the president will be proven right? >> i don't think so. i think there are plenty of strengths that the american economy has, an unbelievable capacity for entrepreneurship, essentially all the world's leading technology companies, a set of natural resources, set of institutions of higher education, hard working people. we have a system that's second to none. so there is resilience. and there is many good things that are happening, not because of what the president is proposing, but frankly in spite of what the president is proposing. it's not that growth has been particularly more rapid than one might have expected three years ago or that there's been any substantial acceleration in the trend of growth, insofar as there's been anything positive relative to what happened before, it's a sugar high from the tax cuts. >> all right. thank you very much. secretary summers. and next the 2020 democratic candidates tearing into trump over remarks his tom immigra
