The meeting came one day after he had expressed his support for a number of
measures on guns that put him at odds with the gun lobby during a freewheeling
meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday.
On Friday morning, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the
president continues to "conceptually" support the idea of raising the minimum
age of purchase on assault rifles, but suggested that the president was in favor of
leaving the matter up to the states.
"I think he thinks it would probably have more potential at the states than it
would at the federal level," Sanders said, noting that the president realizes that
“there's not a lot of broad support for” raising the minimum purchase age.
But on Wednesday, when the president urged lawmakers not to be afraid of
going up against the NRA on the issue and accused Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Penn.,
of being “afraid of the NRA” because his previously proposed legislation
calling for expanding background checks on nearly all gun purchases, and co-
sponsored by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, does not address the age
minimum.
“I'm a big fan of the NRA … but that doesn't mean we have to agree on
everything. It doesn't make sense that I have to wait until I'm 21 to get a
handgun but I can get this weapon at 18,” Trump said on Wednesday, as he
pressed Toomey on why his legislation doesn't address the issue.
“You know why? Because you're afraid of the NRA, right?” Trump said to
Toomey.
Following his previously unannounced meeting with the NRA on Thursday,
President Trump took to Twitter to declare the meeting a success.
The NRA’s top lobbyist went further in his readout of the meeting, suggesting
that the organization was on the same page with the president and vice president
in their opposition to gun control measures.
The president had also seemed to clearly support requiring expanding
background checks on gun purchases in Wednesday's meeting. But on Friday,
Sanders said that the president is simply in favor of improving the existing
background check system.
"Not necessarily universal background checks but certainly improving the
background check system," Sanders said. “Universal means something different
to a lot of people. He certainly wants to focus and improve on the background
check system.”
When it comes to the so-called Manchin-Toomey bill, which the president on
Wednesday seemed enthusiastic about, Sanders said Friday that the President
hasn’t "fully gotten on board with” that bill.
“They are still kind of working out some of the final pieces of that legislation.
Until it gets into its final stage, we're not going to weigh in. But we're
continuing to closely watch that," Sanders said on FOX News.
Sanders emphasized that the only existing legislation that the president supports
in its current form are the FIX NICS Act, which would make modest
improvements to the nation’s background check system, and the STOP School
Violence Act, which would offer aid to states in identifying and reporting
individual who may pose a safety risk.
At 89 years old, Agnes Varda is the oldest Oscar nominee ever.
But her record-setting achievement is not what defines the French film director.
Throughout her illustrious career, which spans over 60 years and includes more
than 50 projects, she always strives to make a unique film.
"I went from one film to another, just trying to be an artist and I never saw my
work as a career," she told ABC News. "So, I don't feel the pressure of the
competition [at the Oscars] at all."
Friendship at first sight
This year, her film is nominated for best documentary feature at the Oscars.
"Faces Places" is a video diary of a trip around rural France, creating video
profiles of the people she met along the way. This film also marks one of the
first times in her career that she worked with another French photographer and
artist, JR.
For Varda, she says, being nominated with JR "is already an award" and that the
duo "really did the film together."
"I knew his work, he knew my work," she said about JR. "The day we met, it
really was friendship at first sight. We really decided right away, we should
work together. We did everything together with the same approach."
As for the purpose of the film, she said it's to shine a light on everyday people.
"You meet people," she said. "Through us, you discovered people you had not
met before. We tried to make the world more friendly. There is also a need [in
the world] for peace, sharing or making connections."
A family affair
The most important thing to her about this big weekend leading up to the
Oscars, which will air Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC, is being together.
JR and Varda's daughter Rosalie, who was also a producer on the film, will be
joining the French legend in Hollywood.
"We will be together and no matter what happens, we have an appointment to
have a beautiful Mexican dinner the day after," she said. "The French consulate
wants to also do a little brunch for us the day after, then Monday night, we have
a huge Mexican meal."
She continued, "We've been together hand in hand with JR, making fun of my
age, but enjoying it together."
Varda is definitely aware of the fuss people have made about her being the
oldest nominee.
"The best that could happen to an old lady is make fun of and enjoy being old,"
she added. "You can make fun of it with tenderness, you can do that."
She was also pleased with how much the fellow nominees enjoyed JR's idea to
send a cardboard cutout to the Oscars luncheon in her place when she couldn't
attend in person on Feb. 5.
"Did you see, there is a little video where he sends me through customs at the
airport," she said, laughing about the cardboard cutout. "I was totally flat where
the luggage goes."
"Even if you do a serious documentary, dealing with society, we have no reason
to be heavy," she said about enjoying life and the creative process. "We can
make jokes because it doesn't change the work."
The future of women behind the camera
For Varda, women directing, producing and writing has been something she's
always preached.
She said that she's delighted to see all the women that have banded together,
especially lately, to speak out on important issues and create positive change.
"Since I started to make films, more than 60 years ago, I said to the women,
'Go. Do.' There is [so] much work in cinema that can be made by women," she
said. "So, it's nice for me to see that's becoming true. More women-directed
films, they are gifted and gaining room, there's room for women!"
President Trump's plan to impose steep tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum
may set off a global trade war.
What it won't do is much if any damage to China's steel industry.
Trump has railed against China in his trade rhetoric, but the Chinese steel
industry is already insulated to U.S. trade action.
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Making good on a campaign promise, President Trump on
Thursday announced plans to introduce 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and
10 percent tariffs on aluminum next week.
Speaking at a White House meeting , Trump said that for decades, "disgraceful"
trade policies have impacted the steel and aluminum industries. "When our
country can't make aluminum and steel," he said, "You almost don't have much
of a country."
The announcement jolted markets. Steel stocks jumped on the news, while
automakers retracted . The Standard & Poor's 500 Index and Dow Jones
Industrial Average remained down on Friday.
But one market that won't be moved much, if at all: Chinese steel.
"A number of Chinese steel mills, transporters, and traders have actually given
up on the U.S. market as an export destination," said Shanghai-based Linda Lin,
editor of the China Steel Service at consulting firm CRU.
The U.S. is the world's largest steel importer, relying on shipments from more
than one hundred countries and territories. Details regarding the tariffs were not
presented, and it's unclear if certain trade partners will receive preferential
treatment. During the meeting, though, Trump did single out China.
For the Chinese steel manufacturers, however, the news was inconsequential.
Although China is the world's largest steel exporter, it is only the 11th-largest
source country to the U.S., accounting for just 2 percent of total U.S. imports
last year.
Given this low base, "We think this is a negative for the world steel industry as
a whole, but as for China, we don't think it can be any worse," Lin said.
Obama administration hit Chinese steel hard in 2016
Prior to this announcement, the U.S. had already implemented trade taxes on
different types of imported steel from China. In 2016, the Obama administration
imposed duties on some Chinese steel imports by more than 500 percent ,
causing Chinese imports to the U.S. to drop by almost two-thirds.
According to Yan Tong, Chief Business Development Officer at Shagang
International, one of China's largest steel mills, the U.S. has been moving in this
direction for years. "Trump's action just accelerated it," she said. "It doesn't
affect us that much because we don't export to U.S., anyway."
Trump made the announcement as Liu He, a Chinese economic advisor and
reported trusted associate of President Xi Jinping, was visiting the White House.
Although the timing was notable, even if coincidental, the news itself was less
so in China.
"It's not very surprising at all. It's in line with market expectations," Lin said.
She said the short-term price of physical steel is not expected to react materially
to the news. She cautioned, however, that it could long term, particularly as
more information about the tariffs is introduced.
Chinese producers are more directly impacted by domestic supply and demand.
With the economy growing 6.9 percent in 2017, steel demand has been stronger
than forecast. In particular, Lin noted strong demand from machinery and heavy
truck manufacturers.
Additionally, of the 220 export nations and territories welcoming Chinese steel,
the U.S. comes in 26 th on the list by volume. The top five destinations for
Chinese steel are South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and
Indonesia.
Certainly, Trump's decision may lead to a larger trade war and the tariffs will
likely spur retaliatory measures and legal battles at the World Trade
Organization (WTO).
At a regularly-scheduled news conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Hua Chunying was quoted as saying , "The United States is
disregarding the rules of the WTO, and China is dissatisfied with this…China
will take proper measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests."
There's much more Chinese aluminum in U.S.
Aluminum is another matter.
China produces more than half of the world's aluminum, and in 2017, its exports
increased 4.5 percent , year-over-year. Last year, U.S. imports hit an all-time
high and China is the fourth-largest supplier, trailing only Canada, Russia, and
the United Arab Emirates.
Imports from China of aluminum foil, in particular, equalled $389 million in
2016, according to a report from the Department of Commerce in late February,
when it announced new anti-dumping measures and duties on Chinese
aluminum foil producers.
When introducing the broader tariff plan on Thursday, Trump said, "We're
going to build our steel industry back. And we're going to build our aluminum
industry back."
Chinese producers are encountering limited direct short-term impacts, but, "We
never depend too much on Trump's policy, on USA," Tong said. "It's more
about domestic demand and supply. Because if the domestic demand is really
good, China would like to export less. The global steel market still very much
depends on Chinese prices."
