South Korea Police Investigating baby Deaths; Amy Wright Named 2017 Hero Of The Year.
BRIGGS: Welcome back. President Trump expected to unveil a new national security strategy today in Washington. It has four goals -- protect the American people, advance American prosperity, preserve peace through strength and advance American influence. But he is also expected to lash out at China. CNN's Matt Rivers live in Beijing with us this morning. Good morning to you, Matt. Why might the President lash out at China?</s>MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It could very well be because that is what he did quite often on the campaign trail, fulfilling campaign promises, if you will, Dave. This is a document, a national security strategy document that every U.S. President has produced going back to Ronald Reagan, and what the President will likely do when it's revealed later on today is talk specifically about China in a negative way. The President has certainly said over the years that he believes China engages in unfair trade practices, steals intellectual property, and restricts market access for U.S. companies here. And so, it's no surprise, then, that perhaps he would want to move forward with harder-line policies against the Chinese when it comes to trade. That said, since the beginning of his presidency, Donald Trump has really shied away from taking really punitive measures against the Chinese because of North Korea. The Trump administration has sought Chinese cooperation with the ongoing situation in the Korean peninsula, has sought cooperation with the Chinese trying to figure out a lasting solution to that, and as a result has backed away from a lot of these really tough policy measures when it comes to trade. That could be changing. We've seen some signs of that recently, a couple of investigations opened up by the Trump administration looking at things like steal dumping by the Chinese, looking at intellectual property theft that could result in tariffs as soon as next year. And so, perhaps what we're seeing is the formalization of Trump's campaign rhetoric, that we got so used to throughout the campaign, this could be kind of formalizing that in a government document. Dave?</s>BRIGGS: Have to be careful there. All right. Matt Rivers live for us in Beijing, thank you Sir. Police in South Korea investigating the deaths of four newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit in Seoul. The babies died within 81 minutes of each other. The hospital says staff performed CPR but efforts to revive the babies were unsuccessful. Korea's CDC says blood tests taken before they died show three of them may have had a bacterial infection. Autopsies are being performed but final results may not be available for another month. Eight other infants were transferred to another hospital and four others were discharged following the deaths.</s>ROMANS: All right, let's get a check on "CNN Moneystream" this morning. Global stock markets are higher today. U.S. stocks closed Friday at an all-time high as tax reform is within reach. GOP leaders secured votes for its passage Friday. Look, it won't be the simplification once promised. You won't be able to file taxes on a postcard. It doesn't get rid of all of those loopholes, but it cuts corporate taxes, and that is what Wall Street wants. The Dow jumped 140 points, now just 300 points shy of 25,000 are nine trading days left this year. Espionage, hacking, bribery, obstructing federal investigations, those are just some allegations against Uber. In a bombshell letter from a former employee. The 37-page letter was made public at a court filing Friday, part of an ongoing lawsuit by WAMO against Uber. Alphabet's self-driving car unit, for stealing trade secrets. Uber told CNN it's aware of the letter's allegations but that they are unsubstantiated and that going forward it will compete honestly and fairly on the strength of our ideas and technology.
