Countries all over the world lining up to renegotiate trade deals with the Trump administration. Later today, the European Trade Commissioner set to hold talks with White House officials.
The EU initially responding to President Trump's Liberation Day tariff plan with retaliatory measures of their own, later paused in return for a 90-day renegotiation window. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney also set to visit the White House on Friday to discuss trade policy.
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 percent 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 is going to do it for semiconductors. 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 reassured.
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 actions.
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. So what Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is going to do, is doing it as we speak, is an investigation of the chip supply chain, the goal of stability and resilience.
And you will see actions taken based on those investigations on copper. We've already have steel and aluminum.
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.
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 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 Wyckoff 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.
You're going okay. Well, I can't talk to you because nothing matters until you get it done.
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 advisors. The Times reporting, quote, if Iran refused talks or if the negotiations failed, the official told Mr.
Khamenei, military strikes on Iran's two main nuclear sites would be inevitable. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth backing that up Sunday on Fox.
President Trump is dead serious on this issue. He's dead serious that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
He's said that for 20 years. He's been consistent.
That is clear. He's dead serious that he wants it done at the negotiating table.
He wants it done peacefully. And that's why he's going straight to these talks.
He set that deadline. These were productive talks.
He's also dead serious that if we can't figure this out at the negotiating table, then there are other options to include my department to ensure that Iran never has a nuclear bomb. The U.S.
and Iran are set to meet again this Saturday for another round of talks. Coming up, President Trump greeted by a packed crowd at a UFC fight as Senator Bernie Sanders speaks to the Coachella elite.

I thought it was great. I thought they were all great.
Five. Those are seriously tough people.
Any of the fighters say anything to you? They all said to you. Every one of them came up at the end and they were great.
I mean, they're all warriors, modern day warriors. It's a great honor to have that kind of ovation, really, because it says we're doing a good job.
You won Florida? If we weren't doing a good job, we'd get the opposite.

Democrat Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, making a series of appearances this weekend, part of a fighting the oligarchy tour. You know, the one to which AOC has been flying first class.
And speaking of AOC, on Saturday in Los Angeles, the New York Congresswoman joining Senator Sanders on stage. Billionaires like Elon Musk dumped billions of dollars in this election to elect Trump.

Our political system has slowly but surely become dominated by big money and billionaires.

Giving up and hiding under the covers is not acceptable.

They are the 1%. We are the 99%.

Musicians Neil Young, Joan Baez, and Maggie Rogers

also joining the progressive leaders at the event.

The Sanders team reporting a crowd of about 36,000 people,

their largest ever.

Senator Sanders telling attendees the Trump administration

is paying attention to the size of these events, saying, quote, you are scaring the hell out of them. Special envoy and L.A.
County resident Rick Grinnell posting on X, quote, more than 10 million people live in Los Angeles County. It's the largest county in the United States of America.
This is a very low turnout for Democrats, Los Angeles, and California.

The one-party rule in California is clearly coming to an end. Senator Sanders also popping

up at the Coachella Music Festival in Southern California as a surprise guest. Senator Sanders

ranting to the friendly, albeit captive, audience. This country faces some very difficult challenges.
And the future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation. Now you can't turn away and you can ignore what goes on.
But if you do that, you do it at your own peril. We need you to stand up to fight for justice.
To fight for economic justice, social justice, and racial justice. The general admission tickets to Coachella starting at $649, though they can go upwards of 10,000 bucks a piece for a luxury safari glamping experience, including air-conditioned tents and a private concierge.
Sounds a little oligarchical. On Sunday, the results of the president's annual physical relieved by Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
President Trump on Friday telling reporters aboard Air Force One he expected to pass with flying colors. I took I wanted to be a little different than I took a cognitive test and I don't know what to tell you whether or not I got every answer right.
I took just a lot of different tests having to do with the heart, having to do with other things and I think you'll find that, they're going to release their record on Sunday and they can find it very good. Can you tell us what the cognitive test is? That pay a woman person paper TV? It's a, I think it's a pretty well-known test.
Whatever it is, I got everyone, I got it all right. The report backing that up.
The president achieving a 30 out of 30 on a screening tool designed to detect early signs of dementia and mild cognitive impairment. Mr.
Trump losing 20 pounds since his last presidential checkup in 2020, the head, ears, nose, and throat section revealing, quote, no significant abnormalities with the exception for scarring on the right ear from a gunshot wound. No serious concerns outlined in the report.
The physician, Captain Sean Barabella,

writing, quote, President Trump remains in excellent health and is fully fit to execute

the duties of the commander in chief and head of state. And that'll do it for your AM update.
