but we also have to be fair to the people of the united states and the taxpayers of the united states. youprime minister, thank again for joining me for these important discussions. we are both outsiders to politics. can you believe it? to politics.ers i look at all these wonderful politicians. we are determined to protect the rights and needs and interests of our citizens. i look forward to partnering with you to build on the incredible it from -- incredible friendship between our countries and to creating a brighter future for both the people of italy and the people of the united states. and with that, i want to thank you very much for coming to the white house. it is my great honor. prime minister conte: good afternoon, i want to thank you for your hospitality is it -- hospitality. it is a sign of the special attention to italy and me as well. forgive me, but i don't want to renounce the privilege for speaking in my wonderful language now. translator: i wish -- for all of families of the victims the fires at the place in california. i wish to say a very affectionate hello to all ou

the largest nail plant in the united states. it's not an industry that has been particularly well in the united states. they have largely displaced the u.s. nail industry. we would have this conversation outside on the lawn. it was trying to hold itself against the tide. it was brought by their provider of steel. in the first encounter in the story of the book. they go to the midcontinent plant and says were going to expand the plant. down the street they have just closed and air-conditioning print and moved it to mexico. they have every reason to believe that they are next. i talk about this. this is a complex relationship. our relationship with mexico has been critical in creating jobs overall in the united states. there is a net benefit to us economically. you can't separate the industrial platform. it doesn't mean that no jobs had ever moved to mexico. it doesn't mean that no american companies had ever come in this is a complex relationship. a lot of things happen. the workers look to him distrust fleet fully with every rea

that is what we do with the united states. can do more and we can work with our central american friends. there is sufficient common ground in that respect. theer: a question from audience of that leads into our concern about the drug cartels and wondering how change vis-a-vis the narco trafficking with the new administration, what the state of clay is, how effective have we been in limiting the rise of these cartels? amb. gutierrez fernandez: if you look at what most people think, we have not been successful enough. insecurity, has gravitated in mexico's election. think that the last haveistrations in mexico confronted as best as possible, organized crime. methods, where not doing a good enough job. it would not be appropriate not to recognize that. i think, we need to take into account that this is an issue that takes a long time to address. experience in other areas of the world would point to the fact that there are no silver bullets to address this. number two, we need to do a better job in the conversations we've had wit

work that the united states wants to have. is that consideration is extremely important so i personally still think that the united states we need to find a way around delay the solution. on the margins of me getting back to it but it cannot be implemented in a way that is seriously actually makes the ability of india to be a part of this defense bill what the united states wants to have now i personally see it as a bit of a paradox of the american power structure when the defense policy of the world's second most populous country reaches india is being held hostage to some senators you know in new jersey or a club i wonder how is it perceived in india the fact that any given country would . attempt at least to tell you who to do business with and who not to do business with you know is as countries grow bigger. they see that. the orly's a quid pro quo kind of place and certainly prime minister more they has built many many bridges in his forty years. you know he has gone to some fifty five different countries to build his bri

this has been shown to benefit have more states, we high skilled and high paying jobs in the united states to run these manufacturing organizations. it's a transitional area. jobs in manufacturing have been declining since the 50's, we used to have 35% of the workforce in manufacturing and percent, itst nine following the trend of agriculture due to high levels of productivity. it's also true that other countries have not been working or treating the united states fairly when it comes to market access and exports. this is where we need to keep our focus. the key for the united states is that what is produced here can actually be sold on a competitive basis in other markets. that is where we need to focus our trade policy. instead of doing the opposite. comments onle of twitter. the people getting degrees for skill sets that are overpopulated and the workforce, we need to focus on skills-based secondary education, vocational and trade schools. another says remember when the gop was pro-free trade? , me china shop. that wholet's not cars can import from other countries, it's that car parts,

the intelligence agencies of the united states but also the people of the united states. he took a kgb officer, a known liar's word for it. why he did so if it had to do with the desire to not be seen as illegitimate, i don't know. i can't really get into that. i'm not a doctor. but i can tell you, on the facts the united states was attacked. and president trump today sided with the enemy. >> how unprecedented is that, especially here on foreign soil? >> it's -- i mean, first of all, we say this about president trump every week i think. doing something unprecedented. it's incredibly unprecedented. also, when's really shocking is there used to be a thing in the country where if a poll sirn didn't try to understand what was special about the united states of america, and the ideals to which we strive, the fact that we don't think of ourselves as brutal, we think of ourselves as at least trying to spread democracy throughout the world, and with the foreign aid we offer, et cetera, president trump -- used to be if you didn't express belief for that in politics you were dead i

maybe he won't squeeze the president of the united states either in the next election. the thing that is that. is the perception right now that trump is the united states look or see this because he is the president but he is the united states fully the full use of research so there really be people in. the year in japan in canada says yes flipping to react and we're going to deal with whatever he's shows it does but let's not go all the way let's take a look you know in another couple of years what's going to happen are the americans still going to be gung ho after an american america first america alone president or they can just say chickie was recorded all wrong so i think that right now while all different various governments state the trying to whether it's the. the canadians or the e.u. or japan they're likely to be very grown up about this and say yes we're going to react to specific cities said the trumpet ministration it certainly does but let's not go sort of let's not hyperventilate just. go but. do you agree with that or does it matter if the rest of the wo

they were transferred to the united states. they sent huge amount of money, they sent huge amount of money, $400 million as a contribution to the campaign of hillary clinton. well, that's the personal case. it might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal. so we have a solid reason to believe that some intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions. so we have a -- an interest of questioning them. we can all -- that -- that could be a first step, and we can also extend it. options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework. options abound, and they all can reporter: and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that? president putin's translator: yes, i did. yes, i did. because he talked about bringing the u.s.-russia relationship back to normal. >> i think there can be three questions from the russian pool. russia today, you have the floor. reporter: thank you so much. good evening to everyone. my name is ilya petrenko, rt tv cha

lend lease did, indeed, rescue britain but also rescued the united states. it mobilized the nation's industrial might from coast to coast. factories that had produced lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, textiles started making gas masks, automatic pistols and high-precision instruments. the automobile factories began to build cars and labor force was booming, millions of men and women of all ages streamed into factories and worked on assembly lines, vocational high schools were on overtime, training and retraining american men and women for new roles in the workforce. the manager of the state employment service in the small city of york, pennsylvania, said in january 1941 a year ago our task was to define jobs for men, now our task is to find men for jobs. and what about housing? all the new workers needed places to live near the factories and so roosevelt set up an agency called the division of defense housing that supervised the construction of 2 and a half million new homes along with schools and recreational facilities. all this powerful activity and energy pr

states, to the united and by the way, italy has a $31 billion surplus with the united states. meaning we have a $31 billion trade deficit. and we discussed that and we are going to work something out. prime minister conte's translator: as far as i'm concerned, i'm very envious of the records and the growth of the american economy. we discussed that before with donald. somehow these are systems which cannot be compared because of the magnitude of orders of magnitude -- i'm in this but ambitious at the same time. i'm ambitious for my economy to do a lot, much more than what was done in the past. we are preparing structural reforms that we will be submitting to our european partners, too. i do not want the tax reform to be set aside. it was a leverage in this country. it represents a leverage for economic growth. it represents a leverage for economic growth. we are also working on streamlining and simplifying red tape and registration and regulation to eliminate corruption pockets. we are trying to speed up the civil trials, the procedures and the proceedings for all sectors toge

look at the united states. how the european union has taken advantage systemically of the united states on trade. it's a disgrace. so it's not an easy negotiation . reporter: since you attacked cnn, can i ask you a question? president trump: john ronts, go ahead. no, john roberts, go ahead. cnn is fake news. i don't take questions from cnn. cnn is fake news. i don't take questions from cnn. john rockets of fox. let's go to a ale -- roberts of fox. let's go to a real network. reporter: thank you, mr. president. some people have suggested that relations between the united states and russia are at their lowest point since the end of the cold war. you have stated many, many times that you think it's important to have a better relationship with russia. is there any way for relations between the united states and russia to improve, as long as putin continues to occupy crimea? president trump: yes, i think so. i think i'd have a very good relationship with president putin, if we spent time together. i may wrong. other

today no country does more two-way trade in the indo-pacific than the united states. in southeast asia, the u.s. is the single largest form of investment larger than china, japan and the european union. open amount of the indo-pacific today and it's dotted with u.s. and efforts to build self-reliant business institutions and promote private sector growth. the philippines, there was a business that helped the country return into a crucial part of the semiconductor semi chain. in malaysia general electric invested in a sales and service center, and today, 1300 employees in the country from kuala lumpur. i want them and their leaders to know that america stands ready as we always do for partners around the region, to deepen government, people to people ties based on our shared democratic values, i'll travel there in the week ahead. chevron was the first company ever branded oil expiration rights in thailand and in 1973, they discovered the first hydrocarbons in thai waters. this gave birth to a major local industry. today chevron is thailand's top natural gas and crude o

even if they aren't buying our goods, they invest in the united states. the flip side of the deficit is a capital surplus we run year after year. money coming in by treasury bonds that keeps interest rates low, invests in factories across the united states. trade is a win-win. meltzer, when the federal government puts a tariff on something, what does that mean? guest: it means as goods cross the border, an actual tax or tariff is levied on the good. if you think about it as a tax it is probably the most straightforward way. 10% tariff becomes a $15 good. host: where are we with tariffs levied against other countries. how much has been done? guest: since the administration has come in with tariffs on $36 billion so far on imports from china and $14 billion coming into effect for a total of $50 billion, and additional tariffs aluminum across all importers into the united states, except for a couple of countries like australia who have received exemptions. host: what has been the response from those countries? guest: every country has retaliated. u.s. export

what if they make a deal as reported in the united states that the united states agrees to allow assad to stay where he is and pulls out troops and hoping that russia can move iran back and then abandon the field to russia and iran. it is really serious. these things and putin comes in well prepared. we were talking to jake the last time and president kennedy when he met with his russian leader in '61 was unprepared a. >> there is certainly plenty to be on the table. what will be on the table and how is it discussed? we will see and see together. christiane amanpour and jake tapper, thank you. we will go back to new york. we will keep you aware of the schedule as people are showing up. good to see you both. >> you, too, chris. great to have out the ground for us. we are mention away from putin and trump meeting. our analysts are here next. lilly. she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. but once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together. send yo

he said i think the united states has been foolish. insulting and blaming the united states, saying i think we're all to blame. those are his real feelings. he shared his real feelings in helsinki, so now what? >> when i talk to the folks that are still doing the heavy lifting, they continue to do their duty. they expect to tell the truth in a way best suited to communicate to this president to get it in his head. that is a challenge that we have with all of our chief exec tiffs. >> how do they phrase things to get in his head. how do you do it with this president who seems to reflexively revert. and in this particular case. they say it had no influence on the election, and occasionally you can get him to say something like the russians meddle. i thought it was striking when he said i agree with the agreement that the russians meddled, but he didn't say who or why. i would have been struck and impressed if they said that yesterday. >> it's worse than we know because your friend has said that the warning signs, the warning lights, are b

united states. the problem today is not the russian people. the problem that needed to be .amed today was vladimir putin instead, our president decided to advance a fake moral equivalency the place right into the hands of vladimir putin's bloody hands. everybody in this body should be disgusted by what happened in helsinki today. i yield the floor. announcer: democrat chris murphy also spoke out against the summit on the senate floor. murphy:: madam president, in my lifetime, no american president has ever had more disastrous overseas trip than the one that was just concluded by president trump. five days of disaster after disaster, insult after insult, capitulation after capitulation. today, donald has america weaker in the world the end at any time in recent memory. let's start with what happened today that has the whole world reeling. to the shock and horror of the american public, president trump stood on stage with vladimir putin and told the world that he believes putin when putin insists russia did not try to interfere in the american e

states is a party -- which means the united states negotiating and putting its own interests on the table and being willing to compromise -- that requires a major foreign-policy initiative. it's not simply one of several pieces of a policy. for our radio audience, including those listening on serious xm channel one 24, our topic, afghanistan, what is the endgame? our next call is from pennsylvania. good morning to you, sir. caller: good morning. thanks to your speaker there. i have a question. first a statement though. i am a gold star dad. i lost a son in afghanistan in 2010. back and did came another true there. we have a son in the marines and a daughter in the navy -- d to yourt happene son? guest: he died -- [indiscernible] host: so sorry. 1980,: prior to afghanistan was the terrorist of the middle east. touristretty much a destination. it can't be the people there do not understand this kleptocracy that is running there is relatively new. i mean, they had a royal family. --y had prince ali sure raw he had to be smuggled out when the russians came in. , that was a that vibrant

likely you and the united states we don't do this. we don't have the resources or manpower to organize this total state of control, not part of our plan and it is clear we did nothing of the kind against trump. >> i would like to ask a couple specific questions about nato. if nato were to move to at ukraine or georgia to the alliance how we respond? >> translator: negatively. the situation around nato is going along those lines. i have a clear understanding of the decisions i made. before the consensus-based decisions are made on the organization there is an opportunity for bilateral conduct with member states, poland, romania which deploy elements of the strategic antimissile defense of the united states, direct and immediate. accordingly, moving this nato infrastructure towards our borders would be a threat and reaction would be extremely negative. >> secondly there are two major nato exercises leaders this year, anaconda and trident. did you and donald trump discuss those and did he give any indication as he did with chairman kim o

the united states is pursuing a policy and a strategy in afghanistan that makes the united states dependent on some level of cooperation with pakistan. there's no solution to the problems in afghanistan, no enduring stability in afghanistan without some degree of cooperation with pakistan. >> husain, what does this mean for pakistan? so many of the countries are moving, in some way, look at malaysia, moving away from authoritarianism. in some cases the military is even more dominant. where does this go? >> it has a very fixed notion of what pakistan's interest is. pakistan must see india as the eternal enemy. pakistan must have a dominant role in afghanistan and pakistan must be the center of the universe as far as that region is concerned. that is an untenable situation when your literacy is low and quality of education does not create the human capital. i think if, as laurel says, that the dependence on pakistan if the united states decides to pack up and leave pakistan, it leaves pakistan with no anchor and also its own domestic growth and pakistani military is betting heavily on china,

back in the united states. the fbi has obtained a recording in which donald trump discussed how to suppress the story of karen mcdougal, a former playboy model who alleges she had a year-long extramarital affair with trump in 2006. in the tape, made before the 2016 election, trump reportedly discussed with his former attorney and fixer michael cohen whether to buy the exclusive rights to the story of karen mcdougal, who alleges she had an affair with trump. at the time, mcdougal had sold her story for $150,000 to the national enquirer, a tabloid published by trump's close friend david pecker. the paper ultimately kept the rights to the story and refused to publish it, in a process known as catch and kill. the tape will now be available to prosecutors in any future criminal investigation of michael cohen, after trump's legal team reportedly waived attorney-client privilege on the recording. on sunday, the lawyer for another woman trump allegedly had an affair with, but don't film start stephanie clifford, also k

gdp growth in the united states was? negative 11.6%. so we're talking massive recessionary conditions. not surprisingly by the way. visit all been predicted because government spending but after the war. we had slightly negative growth again in 1947 when marshall made his speech here in the context this was truly an extraordinary act of statesmanship, but we considered it to be fundamental to our own economic future. stalin always insisted that we were doing this for ourselves. we were, but not in the way that he saw it. one thing i talk about in the book that is truly remarkable is the mindset of the business community, the commercial lobbying firms in washington changed dramatically after the second world war. they were traditionally mercantilist and protectionists but they were brought around to the thinking that their own prosperity depended on rebalancing the global economy so that our allies could sell to us. that was the only way we were going to make a permanent revival of the global economy. the immediate day de

i would between the uk and the united states. iwould imagine between the uk and the united states. i would imagine the prime minister will be hoping canadian press on the president how important free trade is and what damage these ta riffs free trade is and what damage these tariffs he is doing could do to the global economy. let's bring ron back m, global economy. let's bring ron back in, this will play well with people backin in, this will play well with people back in the united states?” in, this will play well with people back in the united states? i think it well, there are a lot of people who are very much concerned about ta riffs who are very much concerned about tariffs and the impact on american businesses across the united states, why is the president doing it at this time, why is he going to verbal wa rfa re this time, why is he going to verbal warfare with our closest allies and i think it's an opportunity for the president and the prime minister to reassure a very nervous president and the prime minister to reassure a very nervous american business sector. i imagine,

bush, the president of the united states. at this moment, the regime of saddam hussein is being removed from power. and a long era of fear and cruelty is ending. the government of iraq and the future of your country will soon belong to you. >> things, however, very quickly started to turn dicey. >> the city of baghdad has now experienced five days of looting. government ministries, hospitals, museums, the homes of the wealthy and even the palaces of saddam hussein have been stripped bare. >> we saw the looting and the total disorder in the streets and frankly, the indifference on the part of american authorities to what was happening. >> the pentagon says coalition forces will indeed get that unrest under control. but that has not yet happened. >> it wasn't just that there was disorder. the society is being torn apart and there's nobody in control. and that was our fault. >> mr. bush declared an end to the military phase of the war in iraq and called the battle a victory in the war against terrorism. >> the administration's v

you're not denying that united states democracy. do you believe united states is a democracy? and if so, if it is a democratic state, then the final conclusion in this kind of dispute can only be delivered by trial. by the court. not by the executive, by the law enforcement. for instance, the concord company that was brought up is being accused, it's being accused of interference. but this company does not constitute the russian state. it does not represent the russian state. i bought several examples before. well, you have a lot of individuals in the united states take george saures for instance. with multibillion capitals. but it doesn't make him, his position, his posture the posture of the united states. no, it does not. the same case. there is the issue of trying a case in the court. and the final -- the final say is for the court to deliver. we're now talking about the private -- the individuals. not about particular states. and as far as the most recent allegation is concerned about the russian intelligence officers, we do have an intergovernmental treaty. please do sen

they were transferred to the united states. they sent huge amount of money, $400 million as a contribution to the campaign of hillary clinton. that's their personal case. it might havelegal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal so we have reason to believe that some intelligence officers these nied and guide transactions so we have an interest of questioning them. that could be a first step and we canlso extend it. options abound, and -- and they all can be found in an al appropriate l framework. >> did you want mr. trump to win theelection, and did you direct any of your officials to do that? >> yes, i did. yes, i did, because he talks about bringing the u.s.-russia relationshk to normal.he i think can be three questions from the russian pool. you have the floor. >> thank you so much. good evening to everyone. my name is ilia petrenko, rt-tv channel. . president, would you please go into the details o possibly any specific arrangements for the u.s. to work together with russia in syria if any o

the united states president throwing our own the united states president throwing our own intelligence agency under the bus and says he believes putin first. >> it's so interesting when you think of past statements that bolton has made about russia, about russia's meddling as an attack, as an act of war against the united states. what must he be thinking? how does he move forward on this -- in this white house administration? >> well, anderson, what we worried about john bolton is at the end of the day he would be a yes man to president trump. he got rid of his earlier national security adviser who was willing to provide him with independent advice. president trump doesn't like independent advice. he wants people to do what he says. and that's what we've seen out of john bolton. i will say, anderson, this lends urgency to a piece of legislation that senator rubio and i have introduced called the deter act, which would establish automatic, very severe sanctions on russia if they get caught interfering in our 2018 elections or any future elections. it has bipartisan support, and since th

well russia has been a scapegoat of the united states for a long long time you know we could go as far back certainly as nine hundred seventeen but certainly after or two we had you know what was known as the cold war which. centered upon the vilification of russia to justify the us. benchers abroad and we are in a new cold war now and we were it was an it they wrote and it seems to be only a tense of five even though the soviet union collapsed in one thousand nine hundred one the us has developed by russian some enemy that it's not ok brian what do you know what i find really interesting and it's a saga that's been going on here is that it seems to me that i'm very very often the united states and its western allies particularly nato they project all of their own sins upon russia ok meddling in other people's election well we could spend an entire month on a daily basis going through all of the meddling that the united states and its allies have been involved in for the last few decades and it would still be a cursory review i mean it seems to me that russia places other the op is the

of relations between the united states and russia. person he hasn't and blames the person he stood shoulder to shoulder with today, vladimir putin. on friday, rob rosenstein and bob mueller and it president trump the evidence that president clinton had requested, between nine page on -- undyed is amazingdictment work and is what the president should have used to stand up to mr. putin. he should have demanded justice. rather than take the opportunity to confront putin, rather than take the opportunity to demand that putin hand over the named agents, thelligence president sided with vladimir putin's denial over the unanimous conclusion of the united states intelligence community. kgb overhe word of the the men and women of the cia. blame onan placing , the president put what is best for him over what is and for the security well-being of the united states. what if now looms, anything will congress do in response to this awful trip? where are our republican colleagues? where are the republicans who roared approval when reagan told gorbac

the united states looks pretty unstable. bullying could get you, you know, some investment, but, you know, lots of firms have nnounced that they are moving their investment out of the united states, letting people go. i said lots, it's not lots but it's starting to happen. for industries that need immigrants, they are hostile message. sit happening with tons of disinvestment? not yet. to be misleading and say, but i see lots of vidence happening in the most competitive sectors, and that out.ks me >> there is -- >> if i could just jump in here, i was in london big week, and there was a anti-brexit demonstration at the time, and one of the things that quite striking is this is not just an american phenomena. he british are going through exactly the same thing, and are erhaps a bit ahead of us in facing the challenges of how you an ve yourself from international system of trade and replace it, and what's increasingly clear in heir case is that, there are plenty of companies, rolls-royce, airbus and so on, their e moving a lot o

— the united states. yesterday, i let them know i was extremely unhappy with what was happening. they have substantially up happening. they have substantially up their commitment. now we are very happy. we have a strong nato. much stronger than it was. i know, you're very famous and television. did you ever see that the us might drop engaging with nato? they were probably worried because the united states was not being treated fairly but now we are. the commitment has been upped so much. i was very firm yesterday. i know a lot of the people in the room. i let people know last year. they raised an additional $33 billion. today and yesterday i was probably a little bit worse firm. i believe in natal. i think it is the greatest ever done. the disease is being further 70 to 90% of it and that's not fair. we are in negotiations with the eu and were going to be meeting with them next week. we have been treated u nfa i rly them next week. we have been treated unfairly and trade. our farmers have been shut out of

, not denying that the united states is a democracy. do you believe the united states is a democracy and if so, if it is a democratic state, then the final conclusion in this kind of dispute can only be levered by rial, by the court, not by the executive, by the law enforcement. for instance, the concord company that was brought up is being accused of judgments, but this company does not represent the russian state, and i rought several examples. well, you have a lot of individuals in the united states, take george soros, with multimillions in capital, but it does not make the posture the posture of the united states. no, it does not. it is the same case. there is the issue of trying the case in the court, and the final stage is for the court to deliver. we are now talking about the private individuals, not about particular states and as far as that most recent allegation regarding russian intelligence officers, we do have an intergovernmental treaty. please, do send us the request. we will analyze it properly and we'll send a formal re

the united states are feeling the pressure. a former in kansas, fifth-generation family of farmers where they gross way beans, corn, wheat and also raise cattle -- they and many of their neighbors will begin fall harvest in a couple of months. the increased prices was. have already reduced from income, which has fallen by 50% in 2013. it is driving kansas farmers like them to the edge. all told. estimated $361n million of kansan exports being threatened by these terrorists. bottom line, trade and exports are hardly earn a living in kansas, and farmers, ranchers and our nations manufacturers cannot afford a prolonged trade war. thank you for joining us this morning, i look forward to your testimony. i would now like to recognize the ranking member of this committee, senator shaheen, for her opening remarks. sen. shaheen: thank you for being here this morning, i appreciate it the opportunity to speak with you early this week. the senate commerce bill for provides $57.69 million for the united states trade representative, as well

we also have to be fair to the people of the united states and the taxpayers of the united states. mr. prime minister, thank you for joining me for these important discussions. we're both outsiders to politics. can you believe it? we're outsiders to politics. look at all of these wonderful politicians. we're both determined to protect the rights and needs and interests and dreams of our citizens. we will do that. i look forward to partnering with you to build on the incredible friendship between our countries and to creating a brighter future for both the people of italy and the people of the united states and with that, i just want to again thank you very much for coming to the white house. it's my great honor. thank you. >> i wish to thank you, president trump, for this kind invitation for the warm hospitality. only two months after the formation of my government. i take it as a sign of the special attention to italy and to me as well. forgive me but i don't want to renounce the privilege for speaking in my wonderful language now.

you're not denying united states is a democracy do you believe united states is a democracy? if so, if it is a democratic state then the final conclusion in this kind of dispute can only be levered by trial. by the court not by the executive, by the law enforcement. for instance, the concord company that was brought up is being accused, it's being accused of interference, but this company does not constituently russian state, does not represent russian state and i brought several examples before well, you have a lot of individuals in the united states, take george soros, for example with multi-million capitals but doesn't make his posture, the posture of the united states. no, it does not. satisfaction there is the issue of trying the case in the court, and the final say is for the court to deliver. we're now talking about private individuals and not about particular states and as far as the most recent allegation is concerned about russian intelligence officers, we do have an intra governmental treaty please do send us the request. we'll analyze it properly and we'll send a

that meant united states was embarking on the road to global leadership. but from then on. with the election of 2016 america has sought to play the leading political military and moral role in the world. so in conclusion, i would like to express my deep gratitude to franklin roosevelt and admiral stark, george marshall, henry stimson and frank knox for their commitment to the democratic values and their spirit of internationalism and global responsibility. i think all of you for listening to me today he 17. [applause] >> and fortunately we are running a little late we'll go right to the book signing we will not take questions right now but thank you for coming and we will remind you on june 30 we will have the family fun festival here with free entertainment it will be a great day please calm down. thank you very much spee5 microp. yes, sir, sorry. >> can you hear me? change of focus. you described the hierarchy of the kennedy brothers. what was their relationship of john and bobby to teddy? >> so in the

states because because the united states useful computation the russian with the repair would use is supposed to be wars in the democratic american guess then for the story but this is not because i mean this is not competition this is a duel with now shifting back to america larry king asked surrogate lavrov what he thought about the american intelligence community's conclusion that russia had meddled in the twenty six thousand presidential elections now citing lack of evidence lavrov had this to say about it the and then his conclusion by the entire american intelligence community is that your government and influenced the american elections in twenty six. in its report signed only by three agencies out of the dozens of intelligence agencies who normally would participate in anything called the union of the entire intelligence community of the united states then i saw the report of the senate intelligence committee which assert that you know that russia has been interfering with the elections and then no single factor was produced no the investigation of these souls very poisoning

zte is more than a sanctions threat to the united states. it is part of a broader telecommunication threat that the chinese industry has posed to the united states. and to threaten to shut them down and then pull back from it is not the sort of committed and sustained escalation across the entire relationship. the carving out of one company sends them a message they can pick away at different parts of that relationship and undermine our willingness to sustain pressure on them to get a better eke lee questi equilibrium. they don't seek parity, they seek to overtake us. >> you have laid out the challenge of the united states over the coming years, maybe decade. the issue of china. you talk about they have a lot of focus in the big economy. that puts them in the position to be a competitor to the united states in the way a country like russia with an economy smaller than italy's can't maintain over some period of time. and so we do need a broad comprehensive response and i think all of the west, not just the united states was too slow in seeing

states becoming part of the united states. the commission also will prvide advice and assistance to the federal, state, and local governmental agencies as well as civic groups to carry out activities to commemorate this milestone in the movement of the virgin islands and its relationship with the united states. passage of this bill would allow the commission additional time to accomplish its mission to study specific issues related to the virgin islands of the united states by extending the final report, termination deadlines by a year to january 31, 2019, and september 30, 2019 respectively. in june, the centennial commission met and selected a chair, and interim executive director. we are currently in the prosofse collaborating to with the national african american history mue zen on public programs as well as hearings here and in the virgin islands. the commission is also in the prosofse engaging stake holders to become involved in developing the future project to meet its goal and objectives. last september, as we all know

people in the united states. and he called the talks informative and useful, downplaying how welcome they were. but i think the real indication of how happy the russians were about how these talks went came from sergei lavrov, who is the russian foreign minister. he is usually very restrained in the kind of praise that he makes, and he said the talks were magnificent, better than super is the other phrase he used, which is an extraordinary way of explaining how happy the kremlin is that these talks went down the way they did. it was always going to be a success, you remember. putin knew he just had to turn up for this to be a political success for him, but he didn't even dreamt for one minute there was going to be such a pass was given to them by the u.s. president in this way. anderson? >> russia's foreign minister said the talks were better than super? i mean, if that doesn't make the white house regret what happened, i don't know what will. that's pretty stunning. i'm wondering what stood out to you. you were

time it's ant difficult discussion between the states and united states. we see that there are other parts of the european union, other parts of the world like china that have a huge dynamic on this issue. bit -- we move a little too slowly in germany. it is interesting for me to learn how the federal states in united states will deal with these changes. gov. sandoval: so, you did your time as a minister president, the equivalent of being a governor. do you have a group like the national governors association for the minister presidents come together and share best practices? gen. sec. kamp-kerrenbauer: yeah, it is a conference. thes likely nga that like nga --it is likely nga. and theree in 2017 theseveral meetings around spring. there is a national meeting in berlin. that is the place we discussed topics like education systems, and like how to deal with issues of security. there is the place we can together with the national government, with the chancellor we can about how deal with questions and issues like integration, especially for asylum seekers and

states senate, the united states house, and the united states president. >> the forensic evidence and the allegation. remember, every one of them supported by evidence of proof beyond a reasonable doubt is enormously compelling but also equally important is what's left unsaid to the americans who are named in the indictment, not by name but, in fact, they are included. and the other americans that may be targets of the investigation. there's also a message to the members of the house of representatives who engaged in that stunning spectacle last week where they were ha ranging and harassing constituents their concerted campaign to discredit and stop this investigation. it is about our national security. the next step for the united states congress has to be to persuade or compel the president to address this threat to our national security. it affects not only our american democracy but also democracies around the world. and now more than ever at a time of threat to western democracy from this cyberattack by vladimir putin, we need to be rallying together. i think the united states se

states is no longer -- the united states is no longer a reliable ally. but to top all of this off, if there is a new low, and it may be debased even further tomorrow, the president's performance of standing next to vladimir putin, whose aggression against other nations, including the united states, has put troops like my son on the russian border to work with allies halfway around the world far from their, far from their homes, that he would stand next to vladimir putin and take his side over patriotic americans who are working at our national security establishment, who have unanimously concluded that russia attacked our 2016 election, and for him to say, well, my people said they did, his people said they didn't, i can't see why russia would. what an abomination that all of the hardworking americans with agencies like the f.b.i., the c.i.a. and national agencies who reached an opinion that russia cyberattacked the integrity of our elections to watch this president stand on the stage publicly and say that he believes vladimir putin over patriotic americ

wanting to blame other states for the united states and russia. we have never seen a relationship like that between trump and putin. both men looking to declare a win here and an easy get for vladimir putin to be given his legitimacy. such a historic location for big meetings over the machine years. he literally has the world waiting on him this morning. what is the win for trump? sometimes just by making something happen, having a moment, president trump sees that as a win. let's discuss the different considerations. we have david gergen. we have susan glasser, cnn affairs analyst and staff writer, and jeff zelany. we also have kaitlan collins, not to put you in a box, but do you have anything on what will be the makeup of people in the rooms? you have putin and trump? we know it is one on one. do we know anything yet about the translator situation? one, two, or anything like that? >> we don't know, chris. we're expecting there would be one for each one. but it could also just be once translator in the room. that is still left up to discussion. t

relations between the united states and russia was the fault of the united states. nothing to do that the fact that russia invaded, and occupied crimea, nothing to do with the aggression and ukraine, nothing to do with the interference in the 2016 elections, and coming out of the meeting, we have heard not a peep from the president of the united states about those russian aggressions. so, congress is going to have to work on a bipartisan basis to address these issues. senator rubio and i have introduced legislation, it is called the detour act. what it does is tough sanctions on russia if we catch them interfering in another election, like a 2018 returns. the idea is this. the cost of interfering in 2018, are much higher than whatever they have to gain. that is we recall for the act. it would be automatic and very tough penalties. >> wow, you actually work together on how you would answer the question. sometimes i don't get an answer. grow quickly before i let you go, former president obama talked about a reset of sorts with russia. what exactly was the democrat res

of the united states. ideally, if the sides would write down in simple clear terms what denuclearization covers so there is no misunderstanding down the road. other questions? go ahead. identify yourself. >> thank you. is --stion [indiscernible] i was wondering if the u.s. should accept north korea's demands to some extent, or just focus on denuclearization? kelsey: one thing the trump administration has rightly acknowledged is that onuclearization and progress peace and security on the korean peninsula need to go hand-in-hand. there needs to be a reciprocity between the steps. i think figuring out when to how the reciprocal steps might be is important. the enda declaring to of the korean war, and negotiating a treaty on it. i do not think declaring an end gives up all of the leverage united states has in that space immediately. i do think it is important to commitmentss a vis on the nuclear side. daryl: the heart of your question is one of the fundamental points we are trying to make. secretary pompeo jus

constitution of the united states. we have all learned more about the nominee in just a few hours since his nomination. of course we know he is a judge on the u.s. court of appeals for the d.c. circuit. some have called the second highest court in the land. by that, it sits in the district of columbia and many cases grow up through that court as opposed to courts in texas, indiana or other places around the country. for more than ten years he has served in that capacity. we know he has had a distinguished academic and legal career. . . rking for justice kennedy himself, the man who he would succeed when confirmed. most importantly, and as evidence of judge kavanaugh's good judgment, he made the wise decision to marry a texan. his wife grew up in abilene and graduated from the university of texas. but now that the nomination has been made, the senate will follow what we refer to here as regular order. that means the judiciary committee, led by chairman grassley, will thoroughly vet the nominee, and then the committee wi
