00:10
Trump had a rare diplomatic relationship with Kim, but it did not yield any agreements to end North Korea's nuclear program.
00:19

00:38
Saudi Arabia's top diplomat is in Syria to meet its new leader.
00:41
It's his first visit to Damascus since Bashar al-Assad was ousted last month.
00:46
Syria wants investments from the Gulf states to rebuild the war-torn country.
00:50
The Saudi foreign minister last visited Damascus in 2023, which ended more than a decade of strained ties between the two countries.
00:58
Israel to miss the Lebanon cease-fire deadline.
01:01
It wants to keep troops in southern Lebanon past this Sunday, which was the withdrawal deadline.
01:07
In November, Israel and the Hezbollah had accepted the ceasefire agreement.
01:11
It was brokered by Joe Biden's administration.
01:14
Israel invaded southern Lebanon in October last year.
01:18
Is Novak Djokovic close to retiring?
01:21
The tennis great hints at the possibility after he was knocked out of the Australian Open.
01:25
Djokovic had to retire from his semi final match due to an injury.
01:29
The 37 year old did not rule out that this could have been his final appearance in Melbourne.
01:36
arrested 538 illegal migrants yesterday.
01:39
Hundreds of them were also deported.
01:42
They were flown back to their home countries in military aircraft.
01:46
Now that number may look impressive to you.
01:48
More than 500 arrests in just one day.
01:51
Yet it's just a drop in the ocean because the US is home to more than 11,000,000 illegal migrants, 11,000,000 at this rate, more than 500 per day.
02:03
It would take 22,000 days to arrest all of them, which is around 60 years.
02:10
And Donald Trump knows this.
02:12
That's why his immigration policy is multi pronged.
02:14
He's attacking this problem from three different sides.
02:17
The 1st is obviously deportations, finding, arresting and sending back illegal migrants.
02:24
But as we mentioned, this is costly and time consuming.
02:27
Plus you can run into trouble.
02:29
Look at what happened in Iraq, which is a city in New Jersey.
02:33
It was run.
02:34
It is run rather by a Democratic mayor.
02:36
It is also a sanctuary city, meaning this is a city that protects illegal migrants from deportation.
02:43
On Thursday, US agents raided a business there, that too without a warrant.
02:49
Even U.S.
02:50
citizens were rounded up in the raid.
02:52
One of them was a military veteran.
02:55
And this will be a problem for Donald Trump.
02:57
He may get cooperation in Republican cities, but Democrats are going to push back, which brings us to his second angle of attack.
03:06
Targeting birthright citizenship.
03:08
That's a big incentive for migrants to enter the US.
03:12
Let me explain this one.
03:13
the US Constitution guarantees citizenship for anyone born in America.
03:19
Anyone.
03:19
The status of their parents does not matter.
03:21
Even if they're illegal migrants, their child born in the United States will be AUS citizen.
03:27
That is the law.
03:29
Donald Trump tried to ban that on Monday, but AUS court has blocked his decision.
03:36
It has called the move blatantly unconstitutional.
03:40
Trump says he will appeal it.
03:42
Mr.
03:42
President, a U.S.
03:43
judge temporarily blocks the birthright citizenship order.
03:47
Do you have any reaction?
03:48
No, obviously we'll appeal it.
03:50
They put it before a certain judge in Seattle, I guess, right?
03:55
And there's no surprises with that judge.
03:59
amending the Constitution here, so the process is quite difficult.
04:04
Trump needs a 2/3 majority in the US Congress.
04:07
After that, he needs 2/3 of all state legislatures to back it.
04:12
As things stand, that's impossible.
04:14
It's not going to happen.
04:15
Which brings us to Trump's third angle of attack, tightening the border.
04:19
Hundreds of U.S.
04:20
soldiers have been deployed to the Mexico border.
04:23
More barriers are also being constructed.
04:25
The idea is to plug any holes to ensure that illegal migrants do not crossover.
04:31
Trump has also tweaked the asylum policy under Joe Biden.
04:35
It was catch and release.
04:37
A migrant could stay in the United States while awaiting court hearings.
04:42
They were not put in immigration centers.
04:45
But under Donald Trump, the policy is remain in Mexico.
04:49
The migrants can still apply for asylum, but they must stay in Mexico during the proceedings.
04:54
And this policy has some critics.
04:56
They say families and kids are forced to live in unsafe conditions.
05:01
Well, that sums up five days of Trump's immigration policy.
05:04
He hit the ground running, but the system is slowing him down.
05:08
The question is, is he on the right track?
05:11
their sovereign decision.
05:13
So Donald Trump is right about the first part.
05:15
the US border and the US immigration system is broken.
05:20
Now we come to the second part.
05:22
How should it be fixed?
05:24
Trump is shutting off legal avenues to seek asylum.
05:27
He's making it long and difficult to enter the US legally.
05:30
So what do migrants do?
05:32
They will try to crossover illegally, which sort of defeats what Trump is trying to do.
05:38
There are huge smuggling and trafficking, trafficking rings near the Mexico border, and they are expecting a bump in business now.
05:45
A better option is to take out the incentives.
05:50
Ask yourself.
05:51
Why do migrants take the the risk?
05:54
Why do they chase US residency?
05:57
Because there are no jobs in their home countries.
05:59
Because there is no safety or future for them.
06:02
Trump is not helping that by threatening tariffs on Mexico or Central America.
06:07
If he imposes tariffs, it is going to be counterproductive.
06:12
So Donald Trump's goal is right, but his approach is flawed.
06:17
pass the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act, meaning if China or any other country is charging us 100% or 200% tariff or tax, then we will charge them 100% or 200% tariff or tax in return.
06:32
In other words, it's an eye for an eye.
06:34
We have one very big power over China, and that's tariffs.
06:40
And they don't want them, and I'd rather not have to use it.
06:45
It is a complete U-turn from 200% tariffs to a trade deal.
06:50
A few weeks ago, a trade war seemed inevitable.
06:53
Trump picked A-Team packed with China Hawks.
06:56
He himself announced plans to raise taxes on Chinese imports.
07:00
But as he completes one week in office, Trump is yet to act on these threats.
07:05
Instead, he's talking about cutting a deal, and he's said to be keen on visiting China soon.
07:11
The US president is making clear overtures and Beijing is responding.
07:19
In terms of foreign trade, we do not pursue a trade surplus.
07:23
We are willing to import more competitive and high quality products and services from abroad to promote balanced trade development.
07:33
That was addressed to Donald Trump.
07:35
The Chinese vice premier spoke about balancing the trade relationship.
07:39
He addressed Trump's biggest concern.
07:41
Trump often says that China is stealing from America, that the current trade relationship benefits China alone.
07:48
So Beijing is now talking about balancing trade ties and by the looks of it, averting a trade war.
07:55
But with Donald Trump, you'd never really know for sure.
07:59
It's like his policy depends on his mood.
08:01
So no fight today, but there's no telling what tomorrow will bring.
08:04
And Beijing understands this.
08:06
Trump is impulsive and sometimes incoherent.
08:11
Even as he talks about a trade deal, he hasn't dialed down his rhetoric.
08:17
We're thinking about that too.
08:18
We're talking about a a tariff of 10% on China based on the fact that they're sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada.
08:27
How soon on those tariffs?
08:30
Probably February 1st is the date we're looking at for for Mexico and China, we're talking about approximately.
08:39
Approximately 25%.
08:40
It is hard to predict what Donald Trump is going to do next.
08:45
So China only has a narrow window to strike a deal with Washington.
08:48
Because, let's face it, China needs this deal more than the United States.
08:53
the US bought Chinese goods worth over $500 billion.
09:01
Donald Trump S tariffs are meant to target these very exports.
09:05
And China S struggling economy cannot afford additional taxes.
09:09
It cannot lose the US market.
09:12
American companies are already rethinking their presence in China.
09:15
A record number of them want to leave.
09:18
That's the finding of a new survey.
09:20
It was published by the American Chamber of Commerce in China.
09:23
This survey establishes a growing trend of foreign companies wanting to leave China.
09:30
30% of American companies in China are said to be unhappy.
09:33
They're exploring alternatives for the supply of their goods and for their manufacturing facilities.
09:39
Some companies have already moved out.
09:41
Others are working on an exit plan.
09:44
In 2020, just 15% of the companies wanted to shift from China.
09:48
Five years later, those numbers have doubled.
09:52
So what is driving this trend?
09:53
Why do American companies in China want to leave?
09:57
One big reason is the trade tension, the unpredictability around US China ties, especially on the trade front.
10:03
So companies want an exit.
10:05
They don't want the risk.
10:08
But where will they go?
10:10
They're exploring other Asian nations and de risking from China is back in focus.
10:16
This is a term that was mainstream during the pandemic when the world's over dependence on China left many countries without essential supplies.
10:24
So governments and businesses started rethinking their supply chains.
10:29
Instead of leaving China entirely, they moved some of their facilities out, and emerging markets benefited from the shift in the first round.
10:38
Countries like Vietnam and Malaysia, they benefited.
10:42
India, too, was part of this conversation, but New Delhi was slow to capitalize on these opportunities.
10:48
Now India has another chance with another exodus from China underway.
10:53
Indian businesses are looking to make gains, specifically Indian exporters.
10:57
They want to expand their presence in the US.
10:59
They're holding talks with trade organizations in America.
11:02
And which sectors stand to gain from this?
11:05
Textiles, leather, chemicals, electronics, auto parts and toys.
11:10
These sectors have significant potential to grow.
11:14
They can generate more business in the United States, and India must take the

It invokes various executive powers relating to the ongoing invasion at the southern border.
11:28
Prosecution and possible application of work.
