nuclear arsenal. he responded ominously about russia modernizing its nukes. the russian federation is stronger than any potentially, he said. mind that aggressor and it's important to note that it's not a coincide that i put it that way. what does an grnoor mean? one that could potentially attack the russian federation. he talked a couple times about allegations that russian hacked the american lelections and he knew about it personally. not so, he said. not surprisingly. he offered some cutting words to the democrats, saying they were just trying to find the culprit somewhere else or, as he put it, quote, the party that loses always tries to pass the buck. alex? >> that is a press conference that has been going on for over three hours. barry, thank you. some are still wondering what the president-elect meant with his

nuclear weapons. mr. trump wrote yesterday the united states must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes. margaret brennan has reaction to that statement. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, every president since ronald reagan has tried to reduce the world's atomic stockpile. president obama signed a treaty with russia in 2010 pledge is those type of reductions. yesterday, donald trump appeared to up-end decades of u.s. national security policy in a single tweet. >> he is putting the world on notice. >> reporter: donald trump's transition team scrambled to explain the president-elect's tweet which said he supports the expansion of america's nuclear arsenal. >> what is saying we need to expand our capabilitiness to be ready for those who have nuclear weapons. i think we are getting a little too far ahead of ourselves that he is changing policy and making policy in a way that h

word unpredictable. you want to be unpredictable. look. nuclear should be off the table but a time to use it? possible. i'll be the last one to use nuclear. i would be the last one. believe me. i think once the nuclear alternative happens, it's over. at the same time, we have to be prepared. i can't take anything off the table. >> reporter: trump, at one time suggested he was open to the possibility of japan and saudi arabia obtaining nuclear weapons and said in march during a cnn town hall, quote, maybe it's going to have to be time to change. you have so many other countries now having it. alex. >> margaret, the president-elect also weighed in on a u.n. resolution which would denounce israeli settlements in territory claimed by the palestinians. he urged the obama administration to reject it. what are the implications of that? >> reporter: well, presidents president-elect typically avoid contradicting the sitting

scheduled nu.n. vote, trump pressured obama tweeting the u.s. should reverse its longstanding policy condemning israeli settlement building in the west bank and then he went a step further by speaking with egypt's president who ultimately agreed to delay the vote. so traditionally, american presidents like to say there is only one president at a time. but now they are contradicting each other on the world stage and that at a minimum is causing confusion. >> margaret, thanks. ivanka trump was harassed by two strangers on a jetblue flight. a social media photo showsçl th president-elect's daughter sitting on the plane yesterday. one of the men reportedly said her father is ruining the country. the men were kicked off the plane before it took off from new york's jfk airport. security was waiting for ivanka trump and her family when the plane landed in san francisco. they were taken to a private jet to complete their trip to hawaii. a san francisco airport spokesman says the secret
