president trump, who by the way spent a good deal of his transition denigrating the intelligence community and the quality of the information that they get and spends time saying that the press is the enemy and that anything he doesn't like is fake news so now how will he go to his allies and say we have intelligence that shows the uranian's are violating this agreement and we need to walk it back and we need to re- impose sanctions, will they believe them? that's a problem. >> that was a part of what you hear tonight about president trump doesn't foreign policy 100 days into his term for the entire event at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. on c-span two, deputy assistant to the president sebastian speaks at this year's annual policy conference of the republican national lawyers association. and on c-span three, the house airing ways to strengthen the vetting and screening of visa applications in order to prevent terrorists entry into the us.
