focus on these international relationships and invision himself visiting the queen and invision himself on these foreign trips and getting the adju adjulation there. >> you both know his psychology as well as most. >> doctor, doctor, truth teller, expert. >> indeed. >> thanks to our international viewers for watching. for you cnn newsroom is coming up. for u.s. viewers new day continues. we have news for you right now. >> the world is in trouble. we're going to straighten it out. >> i must condemn the aggressive actions of russia. >> i haven't eased anything. >> the administration taking a tougher stance on israeli

settlements. >> it's not going unresponded to. >> it may be that sanctions are just one step. >> we're going to be a little tough folks. >> we're open to making that debate. >> they're not trying to make america great again. >> we're going to keep our promise to repeal and replace this law. >> they're trying to make america sick again. >> this is new day. >> good morning. welcome to your new day. the usually predictable or unpredictable trump administration setting a foreign policy agenda that closely mirrors president obama's. the white house scolding russia for ukraine warning israel about settlements in the west bank. >> it's always unpredictable sometimes. now threatening iran for sanctions and latest missile test that's the same approach taken by the obama administration. we're entering day 15 of mr. trump's presidency and cnn has every angle covered starting

with jeff live at the white house. >> good morning. president trump is still forming his foreign policy and there is no question that there are key distinctions between his and president obamas but this morning there's also key similarities emerging and president trump is sounding different than candidate trump. >> president trump telling israel not so fast with settlement construction in the west bank and east jerusalem. the white house releasing a statement warning israel that the expansion of existing settlements beyond their current boarders may not be helpful in achieving peace between the israelis and the palestinians. those words sounding similar to the obama administrations approach to the settlements. >> they cannot permanantly occupy and settle palestinian land. >> and different from the tone mr. trump took on the campaign trail. >> israel, our great friend and the one true democracy in the middle east has been snubbed and criticized by an administration

that lacks moral clarity. >> but the white house noting that president trump has not taken an official position yet and will continue discussions when he meets with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in two weeks. >> i must condemn the actions of russia. >> and tough talk coming from nikki haley condemning russia for a recent surge of violence in eastern ukraine. >> we do want to better our relations with russia. however the situation in eastern ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of russian actions. >> haley's rhetoric far stronger than the president's posture on russia but thursday's remarks coming as no surprise to the white house. sources tell cnn they signed off on haley's speech. meanwhile today the white house could announce additional tougher sanctions on iran following sunday's ballistic missile test. these sanctions expected to be similar to actions taken by former president obama. mr. trump also not ruling out

military action. >> nothing is off the table. i haven't eased anything. >> foreign policy, center stage on rex tillerson's first day as secretary of state. >> i'm the new guy. >> speaking with israel, germany and mexico and also doing damage control after the president's tense phone call with australia. >> president obama said that they were going to take well over a thousand and bring them into this country. >> alarmed by the president's tone toward a long standing u.s.

ally. >> a fire storm this morning within the last half hour or so including these about iran. he says iran is playing with fire. they don't appreciate how kind president obama is to them. and of course australia he says thank you to prime minister of australia for telling the truth about our very civil conversation the fake news media lied about. very nice. that's a far different tone that he said yesterday morning when he said these phone calls were a sign that foreign leaders needed tough talk. so something has gotten under the president's skin this morning. he is responding again on twitter, allison. >> thank you for all of that. let's bring in virginia democratic senator. he is a member of the intelligence committee. good morning, senator. >> good morning, allison. let me put up these developments and get your take on this. here are the things that have happened the past 24 hours. the trump administration said israel stopped building the settlements. about russia there will be sanctions for ukraine

incursions. they will remain in place and on iran they put iran on notice as well as adding some additional sanctions for the recent missile launch. is he taking a page from president palm balm's foreign policy? >> well let's put it like this allison as the report that just proceeded me came on we don't know because he ricochets from one policy to another that's really very irresponsible. let's go through all three of them. on israel he is also, he made those comments or his administration made the comments that earlier he gave basically a green light to the prime minister of israel to go ahead and expand it. on the question of russia on one level you've got the un ambassador calling russia out yet yesterday the trump administration relaxed some of the sanctions that was on the russian spy service, which i think was a small, i think was a

bad, bad move because we're still investigating the russian interventions and obviously people are very upset about russian actions not only in crimea but elsewhere and in iran you have the situation where i'm not sure what he means by putting iran on notice. this is dicey what he is doing and i think he has to understand that words of a president or for that matter the tweets of a president actually carrie a lot of weight. >> you bring up that alleged russian hacking into at the election. >> there's nothing alleged about this hacking. >> well, let's talk about that senator because i know that you're spear heading an investigation into it. what have you found? >> there are three areas that we're looking into.

>> first the russian use of disinformation. and as a matter of fact we're close to 1,000 russian hackers working out of a single factory as internet trolls placing fake news and manipulating some of the algorithms that google used. a few weeks back the director of national intelligence and hacking you'd have five or six russian sites come up. number two, you clearly have and i think every member of congress received the briefing knows that russians hacked into the dnc and hacked into the e-mails. the fact that john's first e-mail was released publicly two hours after the so-called bush hollywood groping tape came out was more than just coincedence. it was an effort to favor trump against clinton and there's a lot of smoke and we don't know if there's going to be anything

there is possible contact between russian operations and trump campaign or trump organizations prior to the election and that one is obviously explosive if it's turns out to be true. >> please keep us posted as your investigation builds. i also want to ask you about this woman. she is a veteran cia officers. she was -- mr. trump had chosen her to serve at the ayen sy. the cia's deputy director. she would have been the first female career cia officer to serve as deputy director. you're alarmed by this choice. what's the problem? >> well, we just want to make sure that she will give us on the committee the same assurances that mike pompeo gave me publicly and privately that she will follow the law as regards to torture and extreme interrogation procedures. >> what makes you think she

wouldn't? >> i want to make sure and the committee wants to make sure that other members expressed similar concern. >> i'm not going to be able to comment on anything this individual had done. >> you had sent a letter correct me if i'm wrong to director pompeo as well as secretary mattis expressing your concerns about the policy. >> absolutely. we want to make sure that the views of secretary mattis in particular that said torture doesn't work and that american law prohibits torture because we have to follow the army field

manu manual. we want to make sure that they share the view. >> are you worried that you will be mislead somehow? that somehow director pompeo tells you one thing and mr. trump has a different influence on them? >> i'm always concerned and this is part of my job in terms of oversight but you have to take somebody at their word until they prove otherwise and so far i think we're building a strong relationship. i'll have an important role as vice chair of the intelligence committee in terms of oversight of the cia. we want to make sure that all of the top officials realize that america is not going back to the time when we were using torture as a means to try to extract

information. >> thank you for being on new day. nice to talk to you. >> thank you. >> we have an update on the break news out of paris. a man wealding a knife, rushing soldiers near the louve museum prompting one soldier to open fire. suspect was seriously would bed and a second suspect is under arrest. the prime minister saying this is aer the tis attack. >> he lunged toward them wounding one of them. that man that's now in the hospital hasn't died from his injuries. he had been carrying backpacks. officially police said those

were empty and no explosives were found however clearly french authorities say this was a terrorist attack. a terrorist investigation has been opened trying to determine exactly what this man's motivationswere. that second man who is arrested also been confirmed. the links he may or may not have had are yet to be established and they're being very cautious about that. what we know so far is this was a terror attack. an investigation is now under way and by the end of the day the museum should be able to open once again chris. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. top republicans now softening their tone on repeal and replace. they added another r, repair. it's about a change of heart? is it about reality kicking in? we'll speak with the republican senator calling for an obamacare fix, next. f mlife.ieces in my so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo.

once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. she makes the and the tough times easier. the ever us collection. one diamond for your best friend. one diamond for your true love.

here you go.picking up for kyle. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve.

repeal and replace. that's what the big sell was for sufficient a big part of the fly over states. now republican efforts to get

that done have stalled. some lawmakers admit the affordable care act may never disappear for good and bad reasons. joining us is ron johnson that wants an obamacare fix. always appreciate you being on new day to make the case. >> good morning, chris. >> is this a simple question of reality? that yes the ac has problems, the aca always had problems that needed to be addressed and that weren't addressed and has it come down to repair, not replace? >> well first of all when i talk about repair, i'm talking about repairing all the damage done by obamacare. obamacare created this enormous mess and big mess and i'm trying to fix the big mess. i don't think obamacare is fixable quite honestly and the reality is we only have so much power to repeal and serve almosts of obamacare.

but those were going going to need votes and sounds like the democrats were willing to bare the responsibility of the mess they created. so i'm talking about repairing the mess caused by obamacare. >> so when you say mess let's take one step about how much of that is just a talking point because you have tens of millions of people that are covered now that weren't covered and wouldn't have been covered. >> a lot through medicaid. >> and you're going to have to figure out how to get those people care because that's a soluti solution. >> chris, it's interesting. through normal economic growth millions of americans would have gotten additional health care coverage. it create sod many more people with coverage growing economy would have done the same thing.

>> he didn't say it would have been even. >> premiums have doubled and tripled in wisconsin because of the market distortions, market reforms. premium versus doubled and tripled. that's what we're talking about. people can't afford to buy coverage. >> i hear you but i think that you're doing a little bit of some versus all here. i read the piece. he's talking about economic ine inei inertia. second of all there's premiums going up. there's good reasons and bad reasons for that but they're not going up for everybody you're talking about .05% of the population. way too many. way too many. it has to be fixed but this notion that all of it is a mess. that nobody has got better care. that nobody has gotten better costs, you know that's not true.

you have to be more realistic about the politics to get anything done. >> i didn't say that. >> you just said it's a huge mess. >> no, i said it's a big mess but when you spend tens of billions of dollars subsidizing care people are going to like that. here's part of the problem because as premiums have skyrocketed a lot of people being subsidized in terms of the insurance by the american taxpayer can't use the insurance because the deductibles are so high. there's been a lot of harm done. a mom working a part time job had to quit her part time job and go to full time to pay for her premium increase. that's the big mess created here and chris, we didn't have to remake the insurance markets. we didn't have to create this mess and cause it to skyrocket. there was a lot simpler way of doing it.

the affordable care act didn't protect patients. we're trying to repair that damage and mix that mess. >> we'll see how much of it you keep as a reflection of what is working. let me ask you two things quickly. do you think there's been a reset of foreign policy talk from the administration on iran, on rush yarks on even the settlements in israel? >> i wouldn't call it a reset. i think what i would call it is we are starting to address the will from a position of strength and resolve. that's what is required. peace through strength and not peace through withdrawal as president obama implemented. so it's first about becoming economically strong so we can make our military strong, actually have a commitment to defeating isis and securing our border. this is a position of strength

and that's what president trump is conveying right now. >> you say there's a lesson about wall and border security that you learned there that we need to take back here. >> israel was being, you know, had a real problem with illegal immigrants coming through about 16,000 in one year. in two years, they constructed 143 mile fence. about $2.9 million per mile and cut illegal immigration rate from about 16,000 to about 18. cut it by 99%. fencing walls work so we need to learn the lessons from israel. they are under a constant state of threat. threat of terrorism. they dealt with it effectively. we need to learn the lessons. >> do you think it was the wall they put up or all the changes they made into screening and the opportunities they provided for people that were coming across to try to limit the need to sneak in. >> well, on the southern border it was the fence. within the whole of israel they have done all kinds of things in

terms of cyber security and airports and all kinds of different layers security measures and we need the same thing here but fencing and walls work particularly when constructed in the right areas and the right way. >> and in conjunction with other policies. >> you always make the case in beautiful fashion. appreciate you being on. >> have a great day. >> you too. >> well, the recent raid in yemen that claimed the life of a navy s.e.a.l., how did that come together? was this from the obama administration or the trump administration? we get answers next. like centurylink's broadband network that gives 35,000 fans a cutting edge game experience. or the network that keeps a leading hotel chain's guests connected at work, and at play. or the it platform that powers millions of ecards every day for one of the largest greeting card companies. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

nothing is off the table when it comes to dealing with iran. what does that mean? let's bring in kimberly and cnn military analyst. great to see both of you this morning. spider when you heard president trump say that iran was on notice, what did you think? >> well, that concerns me. allison thanks. the deal is is that there was a lot of criticism for the obama administration specifically when the president indicated that

there was a red line of activities and the use of chemical weapons et cetera and that was back several years ago. the problem is is that putting someone on notice and creating a red line are the same thing. the question i have is what does on notice mean? are we going to follow up? do we know what the measures are? how do we talk through those measures and evaluate what we look like. we need to be careful about what we say. what we should do is simply go about our business of ensuring our national security. making sure that we have the right forces postured which happens all the time. the united states does that magnificently and then we declare our intentions as we're about to take them on. we don't need to put folks on notice. >> too reasonable. we just had senator johnson on and he said what is going on is leading through strength as opposed to president obama that was weak and about withdrawal and that that's what is going on here is that trump is coming out strong and then once we show our

leverage then everything kind of evens out. >> well, we did try to ask senior administration officials after general flynn made that statement, what do you mean? what sort of measures might you take? they said something about maybe economic measures. military measures? they wouldn't elaborate. finally i said well you said you didn't want to unnecessarily provoke iran but you essentially just made a verbal threat and they said well we're hoping that iran will heed this and change their behavior. they were very careful to say however this has nothing to do with the iran nuclear deal. as i see it what they're trying to do is thread this needle saying we're trying to discipline iran on its bad behavior on one area but we're

not across and that would give the white house a reason to do something very provocative whether it be put more ships in the gulf to harass iranian naval ships or something like that and then you could see an escalation so the problem is once you said something like this, and the other side does something, you do have to act on it. >> i want to ask you about the raid in yemen that left one navy s.e.a.l. dead. there seems to be confusion about when this mission was planned. some in the trump administration suggested it was in the planning stages for months and okayed by the obama administration. the obama administration said no we didn't sign off on it and okay it. i don't know if it matters unless we think this was done in ha haste somehow. what are your thoughts on what happened here? >> i doubt -- i can state with confidence this was not done in haes. that would be a characterization

that is inappropriate for the leadership we have in the defense department now and then in those commands. and he has been doing this his entire life. his colleague at central command has been doing this together with tony thomas all of their lives so these are very measured guys that understand all the intricacies of this. strategically what you have is a number of mission sets that are available for execution depending upon conditions and most importantly dependent upon clarity of intelligence. this is an operation that was on the shelf. it had a life to it. it had a horizon. at some point it's going to get stale so they knew they wanted to execute so this thing was in planning awhile and the only turnover was at the commander and chief level so those that were cognizant have been in place for months. >> just to put a fine point on it there's a lot of hype about this. there's two different versions that this went really bad versus

what spider said the first day we asked him about this which was bad things happen when you are in a conflict situation and then it's the obama people didn't want to do this and the trump people did. what is your best reporting on this just to give clarity to the audience? >> that they had a good target with a lot of what they thought would be intelligence that would help them build the al qaeda network. the picture of what they understand about that network and that it was worth the risk of putting boots on the ground but that as officials i've talked to have said the enemy on this stage has had a good day. >> thank you for helping us understand this in a much more thorough way. great to talk to both of you. >> you're welcome. >> one of donald trump's advisors defending the travel ban but was she using alternative facts and talking about a terrorist attack that never happened? we discuss. a booster and for some, plus headache relief starts in just 15 minutes.

about that but she did say that she will not wear a meat suit. a suit made of meat like she once wore during an award show and she promised no wardrobe malfunction like the one janet jackson had at the 2004 super bowl here in houston. this is for all the youngsters out there that couldn't get a seat at the cool kids table and she's going to give them the stage for 13 minutes at the super bowl. now kick off in houston. you'll want to check it out. a cnn bleacher report special airs saturday on cnn and cnn international. let us know at new day. who do you have in the big game? who is going to win? i'll take the falcons 30-28. cuomo who you got? >> hate the patriots. hate the patriots. >> we get it. we get it. >> but i don't like coy anymore so i don't want to help him. >> i'll get back to you on my pick as soon as i determine it. >> all right. speaking of things that aren't going to happen, kellyanne

conway was talking alternative facts and boy she took it to a whole new level. defending trump's travel ban by citing the bowling green massacre. >> these are very narrowly and also temporary. i bet it's very little coverage and brand new information to people that president obama had a six month ban on the iraqi refugee program after two iraqi's came here to this country and were radicalized and behind the bowling green massacre. it didn't get covered. >> it didn't get covered because it did not happen. let's bring in cnn senior political analyst and senior editor of the atlantic and cnn political commentator and senior columnist at the daily beast. matt lewis. >> well, first of all, there was no ban, okay? you can argue that as a question of political semantics and what

is slow but this bowling green massacre, is there anything other than these arrests we found of those two guys that arguably should not have gotten into the country but they never did anything here. >> they were charged with desiring to send weapons to iraq. >> back to iraq. >> so no there's nothing like this. it got obscured by the doubts about hillary clinton but nearly as many people over the last year and a half question whether donald trump is as honest and trustworthy and questioned hillary clinton's honesty and trustworthiness and this is an administration posing a great challenge for journalism in that it is willing to stretch the boundaries and sometimes barrel right past the boundaries of truth on a regular basis and you do have this polarization where a portion of trump's supporters are simply unwilling to accept any kind of correction but not all and the fact is that he is standing in approval rating today lower than any president

this new in his presidency and that says there are people that are listening and they're not totally immune to reality. >> but matt lewis this is exhibit a of why we need real news and real journalists like cnn and real organizations that will follow a story she had a good point but made it fictitious. there were two iraqi refugees that got in and shouldn't have gotten in because their fingerprints didn't hit on a data base or they weren't fingerprinted. it's been corrected because of the lapse in those guys arrested in kentucky that were iraqi refugees because of the problem the system was fixed.

but her story was not a real one. >> there were two iraqi nationalists that tried to send arms and money to iraq. that's a big story. you're right. that would have been a good thing to cite and it's persuasive if you're trying to push donald trump's policies it's a persuasive argument. i don't think this was intentional. i don't think this was kellyanne conway trying to spread false news. this is an example of somebody that got it wrong and messed up. she should have made the other argument. that would have been plenty good enough. i'm going to give her a little slack here. people make mistakes on tv and i think she just -- i don't know if it was misspeaking or just getting it wrong. i don't know that this was an intentional attempt to invent a bowling green massacre that did not occur. >> a agree. she got it wrong. she didn't know all of her facts

but to suggest that the media would not cover a terrorist massacre, that is just so fantastical. >> it's hard to cut her too much slack with the lecturing and hitting us on the fingers with the roller lecturing us about covering things that's a fair point but, you know as people that go on tv a lot. that's what this was. >> i'm all about forgiveness. people make mistakes, i mistakes. it happens. what i'm saying is this wasn't just once, okay. if you call me frank once it's a mistake. you call me frank all the time you don't like my name. this is what we're seeing here. i get tweets about it on a regular basis. all of this about fake news and why we wouldn't cover this and

it's almost always attached to another bogus story and that's the problem. when you give lies life they take on their own. >> the president tweeted this morning fake news about the reports confirmed by administration officials only a day agatha the conversation with the prime minister of australia was confrontational. what world leader anywhere in the world is going to say i was upgraded by the president and belittled. you look weak. so the fact is that we have journalism will be challenged here. the new york times using language that we haven't seen. everybody is going to have to evolve because we have it going in a different way than we have seen before. >> if you make a mistake you

have to own it and say you're sorry about it and move on. that's something else in short supply. >> thank you very much. we're not going anywhere. >> president trump promised a radical break from the obama foreign policy. what are we see something is that turning out to be true? we'll lay it out for you, you decide, next.

. many are remembering new york city police detective stephen mcdonald. he chose to forgive the teenager who shot him and left his paralyzed. it didn't stop him from spreading a message of love and compassion, right up until his death last month. cnn has more on how this man went beyond the call of duty. >> we rub our heads together all the time. >> a wall filled with pictures, just a fraction of moments in the store read life of nypd detective stephen mcdonald. >> i'd rub his head against my head. >> reporter: officer connor mcdonald only grew up knowing his dad confined to a wheelchair. in the summer of 1986 he was paralyzed while being shot on patrol in central park. >> they gave my dad three to five years to live. his life wasn't supposed to be that long after the shooting. >> we were so blessed we had the

30 years. >> less than a year after the shooting, mcdonald's faith led him to this moment. >> i could give the kid that shot me -- >> he needed to let people know i forgive. some people didn't agree with him. >> he didn't let anger destroy his heart. he wanted to help communities. >> reporter: for decades mcdonald traveled the world preaching forgiveness. >> israel, northern ireland, bosnia. >> reporter: the impact made on others never more clear than january, on the day he was laid to rest. connor and his mother were not alone. >> every single overpass, everybody of water, there were people out there, peopling stopping their cars, saluting my dad. >> he believed the tragedy that be fell him is something that happened to him for a reason, to inspire him, inspire others. >> the outpouring, i was speechless really. >> father of mercy we commend

our broth are stephen. >> what do you think he felt his greatest accomplishment was. >> i think dad's best accomplishment was you, seriously. >> reporter: the mcdonald men would often be found rinkside at madison square garden. >> when the rangers won, my dad could be able to walk again. when they lost, don't talk to him for three weeks. >> reporter: the team would later repay that respect. >> rather than a moment of silence, join together for a moment of cheer in celebration of stephen's amazing spirit. >> reporter: a standing ovation for a man, despite his appearance, had no limitations. a father, husband, police officer, devoted to others until his very last breath. >> he is in a better place. he's not suffering, not in any pain and he's walking and he's free. >> reporter: brynn gingras, cnn, new york. >> oh, my gosh, that is beautiful.

really touching. >> he has a legacy. he has been a known commodity as the best of what our men and women have to offer when they're in uniform, and it won't end. his son is -- mom is right. this son is the most beautiful example of what this man favored. no better legacy for a man than his family. >> his wife is impressive, too. i'm so glad we got to see that. well, new un ambassador nikki haley criticizing russia for its aggression in ukraine in her first appearance at the security council. >> the united states continues to condemn and call for an immediate end to the russian occupation of crimea. crimea is a part of ukraine. our crimea-related sanctions will remain in place until russia returns control over the peninsula to ukraine. >> those strong anti kremlin statements adding to questions about the policy of the trump

administration, their foreign policy. is it start to resemble president obama's. >> the author of "the islamists are coming, who they really are." aaron david miller vice president for the new initiatives at woodrow wilson center. great to see both of you. robin, i'll start with you. these were strong words that ambassador haley talked about. she condemned russia for occupying crimea, called upon them to deescalate. that is so different than anything we've heard president trump say so far. how do you explain the discrepancy? >> i think president trump is clearly trying to show that he's going to be the strong man making decisions, trying to keep the world uncertain. he's trying to change the rules. he wants to have it both ways. he wants to send a strong message to vladimir putin that he wants to do business with him, but that there are limits.

one of the truths about becoming president, and i've covered every president dating back to the early 1970s, is they come in shaping they can shape the world in their own image or america's image. at the end they find out it's forced to playing within certain parameters. i think president trump is showing this russian ags gregs in ukraine is forcing his hand to take a stronger stand on this issue, that he can't be seen -- whatever his intentions of a new relationship with vladimir putin, to ignore realities on the ground. >> daryn aaron david miller, it feels good for president trump to be strong and tell people you're on notice and this is the worst call, boy, you better step it up or we're out, feels good, shows strength. reaction formation to the obama administration criticized for being weak.

does this help this tone change? >> it will help if it's part of a calculated strategy that avoids escalation. we've been down the red line road before. i think the danger in basically saying iran is on notice. first of all, you have to define what on notice means. second, you have to prepare for the eventuality that the iranians will defy and test ballistic missile testing again. they have more than any other nation in the region. they probably will test again. so then the question is, not to put too fine a point on it, will the administration put up or frankly shut up, and what are the options available i think the options are bad. our allies are not going to stand with us. iran, there's a lot they can do in the region to hurt us. again, on notice, okay. be very careful and cautious,

however that you don't end up producing the very outcome you're out to confront. >> robin, appearing at these press conferences to be strong, what to your mind is the trump doctrine of foreign policy? >> we don't know really. we're beginning to feel the parameters of it. he already said he wants to make america first on every issue. that's not always going to be easy. in a globalizing world where the united states found it necessary to collaborate with whether it's a formal alliance like nato or to create an informal one as president trump did in going into iraq, that you can't do these things alone anymore. there's a real danger that, in trying to challenge whether it's a refugee deal in talks with the australian prime minister or talking about the wall or a long-standing regional alliance in nafta with the mexicans that

there are real dangers of trying to go against a global order that has been in the making for decades and decades, since the second world war. we are seeing him try to rewrite the rules. i think he can do that for only so long before he realized that this is an interdependent world, the challenges thousands of miles away affect us and we need partners in the process. >> aaron, you've been through this so many times with so many different political agendas at the state department. what's your big concern? >> my big concern is that this administration see the world the way it is and not just the way it wants it to be, that the administration functions in a manner in which it gets the best people with the best information to create options so it can make the best kinds of decisions.

right now you have much of a trump foreign policy designed, i would argue, for a galaxy far, far away. you've got fights picked with allies for unnecessary reasons. you have an executive order on immigration, frankly, that does not address the real threat that we face here at home. and the question is, will, in fact, a course correction be made so foreign policy can be made for planet earth. some would argue that the statement on israeli settlements which clearly is a -- maybe not a red light, but a yellow light with respect to israeli settlement activity, clear indications that the administration is not going to violate or abandon the agreement and perhaps a bit of toughening on vladimir putin, witness nikki haley's statement, suggests that maybe, just maybe that sort of reality therapy is starting to take hold. i'm telling you, two weeks in, i wouldn't bet my mortgage on it

quite yet. >> aaron david miller, robin wright, thank you. great to talk to both of you. >> thanks. >> we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >> pruz warning israel about new settlements. >> the dire situation in eastern ukraine demands strong condemnation of russian actions. >> iran continues to be a rogue nation. >> we are not going to sit by and take -- >> when you hear about the tough phone calls i'm having, don't worry about it. >> this is an unnecessary and frankly harmful. >> we are learning more about the deadly raid in yemen that claimed the life of a navy s.e.a.l. >> the operation was authorized properly. these things happen in war. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> welcome to "new day." it's friday, february 3rd. we begin with trump
