*** Happy 60th birthday to the vice president penny! ***

The US and Mexican authorities have not been able to reach an agreement Thursday to avoid a new set of tariffs to be imposed Monday. President TrumpDonald John TrumpKey figures that the report Mueller related to Russia was a source of information of the State Department De Blasio: We talk too much about the dismissal of Democrats De Blasio: We talk too much about the removal of Democrats MORE is preparing to declare a new national emergency and respond to its threat.

The news of a non-agreement and a new potential emergency declaration came after two days of negotiations between US and Mexican officials, despite Mexico's new proposals to boost their footprint on along the southern border and give the United States a greater ability to expel migrants from Central America who apply for asylum.

Vice President Pence He told reporters that the meetings had led to progress, but that the two sides were still distant from each other, as Mexico had to do "a lot more" to reach an agreement. He refused to mention details.

"Progress has been made, the Mexican delegation has submitted proposals, but as the President said last night, that was not enough", Said Pence. "We have made it clear to the White House that Mexico needs to do a lot more to end this illegal immigration crisis. We asked them to take even more action, more decisive action. "

"At this point, the tariffs will be imposed Monday.We have clearly explained to the Mexican delegation", Said Pence. "But discussions will continue in the coming days and we hope Mexico will respond. And the president is fully prepared, not only to impose 5% tariffs, but to increase these rates in the months to come, but we hope better. "

According to Rafael Bernal and Jordan Fabian, the President stated that his newly developed national emergency declaration was a necessity due to: "The inability of the Mexican government to take effective measures to reduce the massive migration of foreigners illegally entering the United States via Mexico."

The draft document shows that the White House is concerned that tariffs are not legal as part of the February emergency declaration, which would require a new one. However, the White House has not decided to go ahead with the new statement.

Mexican authorities have proposed deploying nearly 6,000 National Guard soldiers to their Guatemalan border to stem the flow of migrants from Central America to the United States. They are also trying to reach an agreement that would allow the bulk of the changes to the asylum to be sold and give the United States the opportunity to expel Guatemalan asylum-seekers to Mexico and Hondurans and the United States. Salvadorans to Guatemala (The Washington Post).

A major question around a possible deal still concerns the president, who was absent from negotiations Wednesday and Thursday since he remained in the UK, Ireland and France, but kept an eye on the negotiations. . Before leaving for France Thursday morning, Trump warned that Mexico should "rise to the occasion" during negotiations, which Pence said Thursday.

The question of what will happen when the Senate returns on Monday if tariffs come into effect remains an open question. Senate Republicans have expressed opposition to the administration throughout the week, including Tuesday to White House officials. Trump, however, dared the GOP Senate to oppose him on the issue, saying that he would "foolish" on their side, adding Thursday morning that they "I do not know what they are talking about on the new tariff cycle.

According to a GOP assistant in the Senate, there is a "Very good luck" a resolution of disapproval is brought before the Senate in response to the President. Nevertheless, some party members support the president's negotiation techniques. Sen.

Told The Hill that he was encouraged by the measures taken by the administration, including by the direction of the negotiations, asserting that he "Confident, POTUS will not let go of Mexico's throat without getting more measurable concessions." He added that Mexico is doing "Core Commitments" as they move towards a possible deal.

Although trade remained at the center of the president's concerns, he also dealt with many issues as he concluded his trip abroad, which included a discussion on climate change with the United States. prince Charles, king in the race for the replacement of the British Prime Minister Theresa MayTheresa Mary MayGeorge Conway mocks Trump by highlighting negative British media coverage.

LEADING THE DAY

POLICY AND CAMPAIGNS: Former Vice President Joe BidenJoe Biden: Biden should have plagiarized his position on abortion on the Planned Parenthood website The GOP Chair: Biden should have plagiarized his position on abortion on the Planned Parenthood website Biden reverses position on Hyde Amendment after rollover MORE made waves on Thursday night when he reversed his position on Hyde 's amendment a little more than a day after reiterating his support for the four – decade – old provision that banned federal funding for # 39; abortion.

"If I believe that health care is a right, as I think, I can no longer support an amendment that would subordinate it to someone's postal code," he said at the time. a gala of the National Democratic Committee held in Atlanta, informing participants of the overthrow of new state-level laws promulgated by Republican governors.

"I can not justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the opportunity to exercise their right protected by the Constitution," he said.

"[C]Circumstances have changed. I worked on the final details of my health care plan, as did others in this race, and I struggled with the problems that Hyde now poses, "he said.

Biden had been besieged in recent days by other 2020 Democrats and progressive groups for his continued support. Some of these critics hailed Biden's turnaround.

"Happy to see Joe Biden embrace what we've known for a long time to be true: Hyde is blocking people – especially women of color and low-income women – from having access to legal and free abortion care. danger, "tweeted Leana Wen, president of Planned Parenthood.

> The Democrats of 2020 multiply the appearances in the media and develop political proposals in order to prepare for two great moments at the end of the month that could be decisive campaigns.

As Niall Stanage write, as well as appearances in the media and their proposals, the Democratic candidates face each other before the first debates of June 26 and 27 and, a few days later, at the end of the second quarter fundraising in June. 30. Both events are likely to separate the contenders from those who could not cut it during the 2020 battle for the Democratic nomination.

During the past week, the attacks took a brighter tone. Biden has faced numerous incidents over the past week in the party's progressive ranks, although many candidates have been reluctant to name him personally.

The New York Times: Democrat candidates pick on Joe Biden, but not by name:

"The leading candidates for the Democratic presidency have begun to criticize Joseph R. Biden Jr. for, among other things, his excessive old age, his moderation, his fixation on President Trump and his delirium on the state of the Republican Party. But you would be forgiven if you missed it, because they almost never mention Mr. Biden by name.

"Welcome to the velvet fist season.

"As the first democratic debate approaches and Mr. Biden carefully maintains his lead in the polls, his opponents began the tricky footwork of moving to the attack without presenting himself as the aggressor. With regard to euphemisms, translucent criticism and, at times, winks, they hope that voters and the news media will take back their implicit message so as not to tarnish them as well. "

> Montana Gov. Steve BullockSteve Bullock Governors quarrel with DNC in primary debates of 2020 Governors choose to fight with DNC for primary debates of 2020 Bullock presents plan to preserve foreign money from US elections MORE is the latest candidate to complain about the rules and prerequisites of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) debate after the party's confirmation of open polls ABC News / Washington Post, which the DNC had included among the pre-approved polls to reach the stage debate, will not be counted for a candidate reaching the polling threshold. Bullock is the only Democrat in danger because of this new change.

Bullock is likely to miss the debate, in part because the ABC News / Washington Post poll in which Bullock recorded 1% was the governor's third poll he went to the polls, making him eligible for the debate. However, with the deadline of June 12 to qualify for the debates, Bullock is now looking for another poll to put it at the debating stage because it has not yet reached the threshold of 65,000 donors and has returned against the DNC (The Hill).

"While Governor Bullock was expanding Medicaid to one in ten Montanais despite a nearly 60% Republican legislature, the DNC was setting arbitrary rules behind closed doors." The DNC's dismantling of this rule unjustly distinguishes the only Democratic candidate to win. a state of Trump – and penalize him for doing his job, " m said Jenn RidderBullock Campaign Director, in a statement.

The Associated Press: President of DNC: The debate is fair, despite the complaints of the candidates.

Reuters: former representative Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) falls like Biden, Sanders paces the Dem field.

The New York Times: Democrats are targeting Silicon Valley. They take his money too.

ABC News: 20 presidential candidates qualify for the first DNC ​​debates, reaching the limit.

The Washington Post: Democrats reduce the rules of the presidential debate a few days before the deadline to qualify.

FOCUS / SHARP SOCKETS

CONGRESSES AND INVESTIGATIONS: The request of the president of humanitarian aid to the American-Mexican border remains blocked on Capitol Hill, in spite of the hope on the republican side to be able to adopt a law this month.

As Jordain Carney wrote, Republicans in the Senate argue that the Department of Health and Human Services lacks funding to take care of unaccompanied migrant children, especially after no humanitarian aid is available. Was included in the disaster relief program signed by the president on Wednesday, worth $ 19.1 billion.

While both parties have suggested supporting humanitarian aid, as long as it is not linked to controversial border provisions, negotiations seem to be stalled.

The White House hoped to be able to insert its application for border funds in the amount of $ 4.5 billion into the disaster relief program, with humanitarian aid of $ 3.3 billion. dollars. About $ 1.1 billion was spent on operations such as increasing the number of detention beds and more investigative resources, which the Democrats were unwilling to accept.

As Mike Lillis writes, even though McConnell's firewall has frustrated Democrats, Democrats are moving forward with a host of proposals on health care, climate change and gun control, among others. Democrats play the game long and are confident that the Senate's inaction will backfire against Republican candidates to the general advantage of Democrats by 2020. It's a dynamic that they've got. Intention to play during the election campaign.

"There is a problem in this campaign" representative Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), Chairman of the House's Regulatory Committee, said about McConnell.

Paul Kane: Pelosi faces a double challenge regarding Trump's dismissal: procrastinating and giving the nation a tutorial on the process.
