u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie allen. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. our top story, the president of the united states now denies calling some african nations quote shitholes. the comments were reportedly made during a closed-door meeting in the oval office thursday. according to one source, donald trump is delighted by this controversy. another source tells cnn some white house staffers believe it plays well with the president's base. but there's plenty of outrage beyond that base. the african community demands both a retraction and apology from the u.s. president. despite the president's denial over exactly what will he said regarding both haiti and africa, senators who were in the room at the time have confirmed mr. trump uttered the offensive term. we get the whole story from our jim acosta. >> reporter: today, we gather in the white house to honor the memory of a great american hero the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. >> reporter: it was a moment filled with sad irony. t

why should it be in the u.s.? >> what happens is the saudi's been have those dollars they have to do something with for the europeans. if they don't want those dollars the price of the dollar would fall. it could put downward pressure on the u.s. dollar. that's not necessarily a bad thing seeing as we are only 7% below a 14 year high in the dollar that was crimping u.s. growth. it important to realize over the past 10 years part of it when i lived in beijing i saw the u.s. treasury come to china and i can assure you they did not come to beg the chinese to buy more treasuries. what they said was please do something other than buying treasuries with your dollars. spend them. invest them. what they are doing is not contrary to what we want them to do. let's get to the question of the day following those comments from bill gross that the bond bull market is over and the bear market is upon us. has it happened? does it matter? >> there are a lot of reasons why u.s. treasury yields are rising and perhaps should rise fur

compared to their u.s.-born counterparts, immigrants, even the undocumented ones, do really well and contribute to economic growth over the long term. it's true that first generation immigrants can be more costly to governments. but as adults, the children of immigrants turn into the strongest economic contributors in the u.s. population, contributing more in taxes than other native born americans. immigrants, even those from some of the poorest countries, turn into some of america's best and brightest over time. and with an increasingly aging population, we need more of them. not less. >> i'm struck by what he said at the end, it is a bit more of a burden when you have the first generation immigrants that come to the u.s., but the second and third generation, it's not. we talk about it all the time here, getting a good education is beneficial for the economy long term, that's something well worth noting from what ali put together. >> we also need to remember remember march 5th, this daca issue, daca recipi

that well europe the u.s. is number one and then followed by china russia switzerland and norway now the europeans are saying you know what if trump's going to do this they will retaliate and guess what they don't have all their eggs in one basket they're actually there's some stats that say that china is creeping up and maybe has even surpassed the u.s. as a trading partner when it comes to the e.u. and they're working on plenty of deals we know that they have a free trade deal with canada that's in place now japan as well as are working with latin america and they're looking at new zealand and australia so for donald trump to do something like this to be very radical when looking at europe not only could he hurt the european economy but can obviously hurt the u.s. economy as well yeah and you know europe's really high on getting together with china on that one belt run one road initiative alex so there is that certainly increased trade now there was a meeting not in toronto but up in montreal over the weeken

and the u.s. economy has remained strong under trump u.s. stock markets have reached record highs and unemployment is at a seventeen year low over the president's behavior has been a daily flash point and many people still feel left behind in the economy mainstream conservatives have a lot to be happy about. and want to hear it has been joyous about the r. is a political consultant and strategist who worked on obama's first campaign joyous wow what a roller coaster ride we and the entire country have been on really that piece is a comprehensive review some of the ha is the lows one thing you didn't touch on though is the overwintering in trump's inner circle i mean when you look at these pictures flynn is gone spicer is gone premisses gone the list goes on do you expect this trend of sort of quick overturn through cabinet officials to continue i mean if it continues at this rate and at this pace there's almost nobody left if we just advance for another six months so again this has been a credible terminus year for trump and for his team i me
