a real opportunity here. president not grown could have invited also not always an observer to the g 7 and he should have done that look the there's a lot that the international community can can do together the end of the day it's brazil that's gone which has sovereign control of its own territory obviously but you've got to get brazil on board to make this happen from my perspective my growing has done. to both and not all of president trump did to the danish prime minister over greenland last week and it's it's. a rookie error mr shapiro we thank you for your time your perspective on this that is child shapiro an atlanta thank you thanks been a pleasure. now we have plenty more ahead on the news hour including it counting the population in kenya. being recognized for the 1st time in
