9:30 pm
work and back on track under president trump's leadership. thanks, mike. thank you. thank you everybody. i'm sure you're very eager to ask questions of these very smart people working very hard on behalf of the president, a president of peace, the cons. rise ation that by mike welts, the us national security adviser, summing up the chief funds sofa of the trump administration. let's go over to alan fisher. he's joining us live from washington dc. so allen, it sounded like a list of all the amazing accomplishments of the trump administration. one imagines that will go down quite well with the coal constituency of the trump administration . supports us a yeah, but no real insight into what happens next. as far as ukraine on the spot is guys that is concerned this interesting that is exactly 2 years ago today that joe biden was in key,
9:31 pm
the 1st president to visit award zone and talked to loudermilk zalinski. i know relations between the 2 countries have probably the lowest point they've been since the war started 3 years ago. not the 4 years. but my goal is to national security advisor suggested bit. and that is because the ukrainians are upset. they haven't gotten his body saying that i agree that donald trump is speaking to russia about a possible peace deal and ukraine, which you cray not at the table. donald trump says that they need to get more from the ukrainians. the cold blood of you is the landscape. i dictate that of mine who has no support in ukraine, not proven by the least the opinion polls and said that he's fail to hold an election well. the country is under martial law and he couldn't do that in 2024. but it's clear that there is a great dissonance between the 2 countries. certainly the americans are angry. the flooding. muse landscapes called donald trump po mike waltz, the national security advisor that you've just had from said that it's up to the
9:32 pm
landscape to tony, done, and said that he should come to a deal about the rear f minerals that the united states is talking to the kidneys about to try and repay some of the debt. all right, just to fight check, don't tell me very quickly as well. we talked about how the us just put more money into the ukraine than you. that's not exactly true. and you also said the luxury, as long as you didn't know where the money had gone, most of the money that america has put into you create actually it's as going through the pentagon, it's american military aid. so voted me was a landscape is addressing the fact that donald trump says a lot more has gone into ukraine. that actually has and that's the money, the plug them use, the landscape is talking about holland. in the last hour we had a statement dropped. some one us official, the us envoy for the mid least talk you out. a garza saying, hey, you know, trump didn't really mean to talk about evicting palestinians in the last few hours
9:33 pm
. we've had a statement from another official on the issue of you crying saying, you know, we think we can, will account differences is the feeling that some of these trump administration officials are trying to will come back. some of the statements that donald trump has made as well, most likely will happen 4 years ago. a lot of the time donald trump would come up with an idea very much of the cost like he did with the idea for guys. but he thought about that 20 minutes before his meeting with benjamin netanyahu. what was that 2 weeks ago? and then he runs with it. and then people are sent out to say what, what the president man was this. and then donald trump says the exact same thing again. he realized, sorry, alan, i go to jump in here. we're going to go back and listen to what else is now saying about your price ration and not a lot of action. they literally threw blankets of the problem and so i'll remind everyone that couldn't, i had, you know, some type of conflict invasion or issue with their neighbor under president bush
9:34 pm
with georgia under president obama with ukraine. 2014, not under president trump, 45. and again, with president biden, in 2022. the war should have been deterred the war should have never happened. and i have no doubt it would not have happened under president trump. and we'll stop under president uh, president trump again. but i just want to push back on this notion of our european allies not being consulted as we've entered into this process. i already mentioned the immediate phone call, president trump made 2 presidents lensky. he has talked to president my crone of france repeatedly last week. president, my cronan, convened european leaders and then is coming here on monday. prime minister stormer is coming next thursday. we've also, i've talked to every one of my national security uh uh, national security adviser counterparts across across the spectrum. i've talked to secretary general router uh, the, the leader of nato,
9:35 pm
the secretary general of nato. we have repeatedly, oh, by the way, we had to have our cabinet, southern cabinet officials, including the vice president at the munich security conference, all engaging all listening and all making sure our allies are heard. however, we've also made it clear for years the decades, even so that it is unacceptable that the united states and united states tax pay or continues to bear the burden not only of the costs of the war in ukraine, but of the defense of, of europe. we fully support our nato allies. we fully support the article 5 commitment, but it's time for our european allies to step up. and one of the things that the secretary general router said when our call was this last couple of weeks, have been a real wake up call. and i asked them, what have you been missing the last couple of years? the fact that we are going to enter into a nato summit, this june, with a 3rd of our nato allies, still not meeting the 2 percent minimum. a commitment they made
9:36 pm
a decade ago. literally a decade ago with a war on their doorstep. the largest war that they're all extremely concerned about, but yet it's well somebody else needs to pay. we've got other domestic priorities that's unacceptable. present trumps made that clear. and the minimum needs to be met. we need to be at a 100 percent and this june at the nato summit. and then let's talk about exceeding it, which is what president trump has been talking about was 5 percent of gdp. europe needs to stuff up for their own defense as a partner, and we can be friends and allies and have those top conversations. the theater caroline, i like the great one anecdotes one doesn't talk goes well . so you never hear about these, those dividend checks that will be 20 percent listening back to us national security advisor. pushing back on the suggestions that the trump administration hasn't been consulting european allies. let's go back to alan fish
9:37 pm
a joins us now live from washington dc. so i don't, and as i said a bit of a push back to the, the accusations that the us hasn't been consulting, it's like something that donald trump appeared to double down on for the accusation back just a few days ago saying, well, you know, they had all the time in the world before to uh to end this. so and to get involved and have a seat of the table and they didn't bother a look. i've been speaking to some people around washington, and they might not necessarily be donald trump funds, but they say that donald trump perhaps have the advantage of being able to get flooded. we have put them in the russians to the table. the consent among many people in washington is that donald trump seems to be just seeing what flood them you're putting, told them in his last phone call. and he's been very critical of let them use the landscape to the extent where the cleaning and president has talked about effectively. donald trump being of love them,
9:38 pm
you're putting of letting me put in such a gate. and so there is some consent and that he is perhaps not seeing this up from both sides. what is clear as for the moment donald trump certainly has the support of republicans, but some republican senate tips. i've spoken about the language that donald trump says use particularly about ukraine, particular, but let them use the landscape particularly about flooding. we have put in not being critical enough. in fact, one set it to describe them as evil, with a black hawk. and that is the view of many republicans on capitol hill and they do not trust vladimir putin so their consent, the donald trump is perhaps moving towards the russians. but the fact is that for the 1st time in 3 years, people are sitting down and actually discussing with the russians, the possibility of some level of ending the war. the ukrainians were not involved there. the united states are saying that they will move in and there will be a wider discussion. but of course, that could change. give with
9:39 pm
a donald trump the statement in the next couple of hours as he sits in the oval office. and no doubt you'll be back to relate for us if he does. thanks so much. i'm an official that from washington dc. a foreign ministers from the g 20 countries will ban meeting in south africa. although the us secretary of state, he will not be that the group is gathering them intentions and the lack of consensus over things like the ukraine war, trade, disputes, climate change, and so on. the impacts of president trump administration on the group and other international bodies is likely to dominate the meeting. south africa holds the groups, rotating presidency and president. so we're on the positive side of the g. 20 must be at the full front of diplomatic solutions to the war. the conflict between russia and ukraine, conflicts that's raging in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo.
9:40 pm
invest to don in this a hell and didn't, doesn't continue to exec, heavy human toll. and height and global insecurity. south africa, where comes the ceasefire agreement reached between is right. and how much that's a crucial step to what the ending this of yeah, you meditated crisis faced by the palestinian people and gaza. this is file must play the basis for a just and lasting peace in line with you and resolutions in line with international law and international agreed parameters. as they do tend to, we must continue to advocate for diplomatic solutions to conference. well, let's take a closer look at the g. 20 of
9:41 pm
the group is comprised of the world's largest economies, 19 nations as well as the european union, and the african union established in 1999 in response to the asian financial crisis . it evolved from a thing of finance ministers in central bank governors into an annual summit of lead is the block accounts for 80 percent of global g d, p and 75 percent of international trade. it seeks to ensure international financial stability, tackle climate change in advance sustainable development initiatives. leadership of the g. 10 to you will transition from south africa to the united states, which is due to host the summit in 2026
9:42 pm
many the what is a political analyst who joins us from cape town in south africa. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, this is the 1st time that the g 20 a gathering is being held in africa. that is it being overshadowed by tensions between south africa and us, particularly over garza as well. i mean, it is unfortunately, that the secretary of state of america decided not to attend the meeting. of course . um, this is american representation june. if i've seen a government officials but not by the secretary of state and i, i find it's likely ironic to listen to us not to mike. well, it's the national security advisor. when he said, we saw what the world looked like without american style, american leadership under the bottom administration. of course, according to him. but they did it. they are not fully represented. she a at the g 20 summit, we touched important issues of being discussed. yes, it is, of course, against the backdrop of relationships between america and so that africa, which at this time become more strained over the last 2 weeks or so, following president,
9:43 pm
trump signing of an executive order and back stopping full bilateral, a between south africa and america from america to south africa, and based on some totally inaccurate information around the land reform policies in south africa. and so it is unfortunate, but you know, they are very big issues being discussed that the di trying to so it really shouldn't overshadow those really big issues. what, how much unity is the really in the ranks of, of the g 20, particularly the divide between the global south and the north on some of those really sensitive issues. whether it's gauze, the climate, data and so on as well. we know that there aren't and you know, there are many disagreements around it we know already today that it's come out. today's been vig disagreements, so i'm do great and gaza. of course, there's not agreement at the moment around issues like food security and ecology out of course now and particularly from america side,
9:44 pm
the wrong time of change. and so yes, they have a very big, big differences. the theme off the g 20 summit to solve the direct to equality and sustainability. all 3 topics. so which of course is not very popular, especially with american administration at the moment. but they are, of course, the issues that we are facing globally at the moment. um, they all the crucial issues that needs to be discussed and even these people disagree. they need to find some way of working through these. you reference the, the, the lack of, shall we say, highest level of us representation at this gathering. does that leave room or more room for leadership roles to be assumed by china, russia, other countries? what i mean, that is, of course, the point that it's not necessary in america's interests to leave our vacuum at this very important multi lateral meeting. because we know that america has
9:45 pm
increasingly been gone, send over the last us about the do political interest, and particularly the growing to political interest from russia and china in africa and that they need strong my last leg filled out for good. for example, in, in, in africa. and so when they do not fully or we are not fully represented at these big multilateral meeting, then of course they've dudley's vacuum and the vacuum will always be full. so it isn't particularly in america's interest not to be here either. all right, we'll leave it that fine so much for your analysis. and then these would thank you for having the hey, the organization da, the organization doctors without vote is calling for the protection of civilians and humanitarian access in east and democratic republic of congo. b rolanda back 1023 levels. and the allies have been advancing in mineral rich north and south capital provinces that pushing more than 200 kilometers north of goma. since taking
