think that is, but in this case, people are now talking about foreign policy like nikki haley agree more with john mccain or marco rubio than the president himself. but the people who are speaking like nikki haley doll view the u.s. agency the leader of the free world, the more traditional world. and the more influence they gain and the diminishing influence on foreign policy say big story. and i think potentially means we're going in different directions with foreign policy. >> i think you're right. i think sometimes we overemphasize titles in washington. the president never served in the military. most of the senior staff never served in military. it is interesting to watch, plus what we know about this president, he's a loyaltyist. and ivanka trump, whether steve bannon, he likes people loyal to him. so they're his antenna to what's happening in the administration. >> and that was known for trump voters. they understand that dynamic. you're saying this is a guy without any political experience but he will put good people around him. >> we're waiting now. we're going to see the president of the

haley. defense, ash carter. a top republican critic, senator john mccain. >> from"this week." here now, co-anchor martha >>> good morning. in the tenth week of his presidency, after the disastrous collapse of the obamacare repeal, donald trump needed a rebound. but instead of bouncing back, trump is still stuck in the russian mud. the endless questions. the shape-shifting investigations. mike flynn's attempt to cut an immunity deal. the swirl of suspicion and distraction. now the gray cloud looking more and more like an oncoming storm. by saturday, instead of moving forward with his america first agenda, trump was right back where he started. digging in deeper on his baseless charge that president obama wire-tapped trump tower. asking when the media will start talking about the obama surveillance scandal, and stop with the fake trump/russia story. all this comes as trump prepares to face a week of serious and urgent global challenges. from the raging battles in syria and iraq with u.s. lives on the line in the fight against isis, facing a full-blown crisis with north korea. an

john, really hasn't changed. i think the president has been quite clear. first and fore most we must defeat isis. >> reporter: but as ambassador haley explained, moscow must recognize that assad should eventually step down. >> well, the regime change is is something that we think is going to happen because all of the parties are going to see assad is not the leader that needs to take place for syria. >> the white house also denied it is trying to remove kim jungun but a u.s. navy strike group was dispatched to the korean peninsula sunday ahead of a suspected barrage of missile tests. secretary tillerson said kim's patrons in china agree there is little point to negotiations now. >> the president xi clearly understands and i think agrees that the situation has intensified and has reached a certain level of threat, that action has to be taken. >> reporter: as president trump upends his america first foreign policy, he's also reshuffling his national security team. removing deputy advisor kt mcfarland from that role. elaine, it's not clear yet who will replace her. >> margaret brennan, thank you. >> after a contentious confirmation process, judge neil gorsuc

john kirby. also former u.s. congresswoman jane harmon. jim, let me get to nikki haley first. because she was very precise. she went after the iranian support for the syrian regime of bashar al assad. she went after the russian support and she said the world is waiting for the russian government to act responsibly. this comes after barbara starr's reporting that the pentagon is now investigating possible russian involvement in that initial chemical attack that killed so many civilians including kids. >> ambassador haley also held out the prospect of further military action. she said if we're not satisfied they're keeping that option on the table. it was a few days ago that nikki haley somewhat telegraphed this action. said the u.s. may have to act alone and the u.s. acted alone last night. i think that's important putting rush and syria and others on notice. the other point i would make is the syrian position you heard there, the russian position before that it's not clear who carried out this attack or what kind of attack it was is just frankly laughable. because they know that the u.s. has the capabiliti

. >> to your point, john, there are some within the administration who may have knives out for him. i'm not saying nikki haleywas among them. she did weigh on it, though. here she is. >> it's unfortunate and we should never have comparisons with hitler ever. that was a terrible time in history and it's not something people want to hear about or think about or think there's another comparison to it. >> clear and definitive. >> clear and definitive. it appears there's one thing we can agree on is that hitler comparisons are terrible, terrible, terrible. i don't think she was suggesting that sean spicer should be fired over it. >> no. all right. thank you all very much. i appreciate it. next north korea warns it's ready for war as u.s. warships close in on the region. and a complete # 80, when he said the guy was belligerent last night. this as the passenger speaks out for the first time.

nikki haley at the united nations did bring attention to iran and what she called the culpability of iran in this attack using chemical weapons on assad's own people. johne lost on a lot of these players. iran included. but as well as north korea. or the chinese, lou. to have this all go down as the president is eating dinner with the chinese president, solving north korea is not going to be easy. when the president says you can solve it china or we'll solve it, i think president xi will be more attentive to what an american president has to say about this problem. lou: to what degree can he be attentive, and to what degree do you think he can or will deal with kim jong-un and constrain him and eliminate any potential threat for north korea? john: that's the $64,000 question. the chinese for the last decade and more have refused to exercise the absolute economic power they have to collapse that regime if they want to. they haven't exercised that power. but now we are getting to game time. time is running out. these north koreans are about to acquire an intercontinental ballistic missile capability that will threaten key american cities. we have a presid

haley is talking about depotion assad, tillerson talking about taking out isis first. do you have a clear sense of what the administration policy is? johni think it's to send a message to assad and the russians and the north koreans that there is a new man in charge our foreign policy. i applaud him for enforcing the red line president obama drew and didn't enforce. but we need to work with the president to deal with this lack of strategy in syria. we haven't had one for six years in the obama administration and 600,000 people have died and millions displaced. we need to work with the white house and come up with one that has bipartisan support. chris: senators supported this strike under these specific circumstances. but there was concern from both sides of the aisle is whether president obama gets more deeply involved, whether he needs authorization from congress to do so. here us democratic leader chuck schumer. >> it is now, however, incumbent upon the trump administration to couple with a co-thernt strategy and consult with congress before implementing it. chris: is schumer right? does the white house need approval from congress if

john deere dealer. >> assad is a war criminal, plain and simple, so says u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haleyt down with her just a few days ago just before the chemical attack, and in her interview she faulted the obama administration and the u.n. security council u.n. security council for prolonging the civil war that has been such a human contrast or fee taking estimated half a million lives, as well as causing roughly 14 million refugees. you see her there in the security council so she's confronting the russian bachelor directly the rest of the master of by showing those photos that we've seen with children who are gassed in that attack in syria. it was a stark and blunt moment. the stark counsel again last night was unable to reach a consensus on the syrian issue. because of russian support for assad in her interview, she braided him a war criminal who should face justice. >> do you feel the security council failed when it comes to syria that the war and this horrendous carnage could have been prevented? >> i think you know the previous administration needs to take responsibility for th

things so something should happen but john's that's a marked contrast to what we heard only a few days ago from tillerson, the ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley change in syria was not necessarily a u.s. priority. how markable is this shift? >> it's 180 degrees different. i think it's a pity that it took something like this terrible gas attack to turn their minds to what's going on in syria and by assad and by russia, but it has and i thought the comments by nikki haley and by secretary tillerson just the other day were welcome. they were good and strong. notably they included russia and iran which the president didn't do in the rose garden and i didn't hear him do that today. i think it's really important that as we look in options in syria we consider russia also needs to be held to account for what they've done, the support they've given. the only reason that assad is in the power that he is and the only reason he was able to conduct an attack like that was because he's been supportive by russian military forces on the ground. they give him target information. they're conducting operations on their own in syria. >> and supported by iranian

nikki haley today threatening another strike if chemical weapons were used again in syria. president described as an isolationist as many is suddenly making john and lindsey graham and hillary clinton happy with his strike in syria. >> who would have thought? >> i'm not sure we actually know what the president's policy is. even regarding syria. does he want to take out assad? is this a one-off? i think we just have to wait and hear from him specifically on it, which is what congress has been squawking about. they'd like to know. >> you mentioned hillary clinton. david, we're going to turn some sound around. hillary clinton was speaking at an event in houston and she noted a point i had made, i know a lot of trump critics have made about, he doesn't want to allow women and children in because of this refugee ban but he appears to feel real compassion to the horrible images that we saw. hillary clinton said, "i also hope the administration will recognize we cannot in one breath speak about protecting syrian babies and in the next close american doors to them." does she have a point? >> that was obviously directly to the president. he was the one

john. looks nice there, doesn't it? the missile strike on syria was a measured step. we could see more of it. those words from the united nations ambassador nikki haley today. i'll speak with chris wallace about what is next. we'll have lawmakers live here to discussion their reactions and how this could unfold. it's a busy news day. glad you're in. i'm thomas and i quit smoking with chantix. i was very grateful to have chantix. at times when i would normally go smoke, i just didn't. it's kind of like "wait a minute, i would normally be running out the door to go grab a cigarette." along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some reported seizures or sleepwalking with chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it

. >> to your point a second ago, joe, your question -- i saw john mccain on this network and he was asked did nikki haley's comments last week invite the syrian chemical attack. mccain answered by saying forget about that. what invited this was not just those things, was donald trump's soft talk on russia over the course on 18 months. he's being tested not just for things that his administration said five days ago, but things he said 18 months ago where now vladimir putin and assad are testing him at this very moment. that was before he decided to launch the 59 cruise missiles last night. it is the case. there are a lot of things that led to what assad did. now donald trump is taking is action. somebody said the other day on another network when trump gave his speech to the joint session, this is the moment when he becomes president. i think that the moment when someone becomes president of the united states is the moment when they first use american military might. whether they like him or don't like him, that's the moment where you stand back and say, okay, he's the president of the united states. not ap

john harwood, thanks. >> let's get to courtney reagan. >> good afternoon to you. here's what's happening at this hour. nikki haley, u.s.ity council the u.s. is prepared to do more against syria but hopes that will not be necessary. she then slammed russia. >> it could be that russia is knowingly allowing chemical weapons to remain in syria. it could be that russia has been incompetent in its efforts to remove the chemical weapons or it could be that the assad regime is playing the russians for fools. >> swedish police are interviewing to people in relation to the deadly truck attack in stockholm today. it doesn't necessarily mean those two are suspects, they are yet to find the driver of the truck. >>> proxy advisory firm iss suggesting wells fargo shareholders vote against 12 of the 14 board members. this following last fall's sales practices scandal. the board responded with the statement saying it strongly disagrees with the iss recommendation. that's your cnbc news update.

ambassador nikki haley said quote in no way do we see peace in this area ass saddam hussein as head of the syrian government. there seemed to be a split between them there. >> there does, johnbut i think what is important to focus on here is, you know, if you your, if your priority is getting rid of isis and defeating isis in syria let's be clear, the russians have not, nor the syrian government of assad are allies in that. they have done virtually nothing to defeat isis, they focused as mike points out on sort of their own people, and the internal civil war there, so frankly in some respects if you want to get the level out of the missile bombing in syria, if i were secretary tillerson i would not be going to russia, boris johnson of the uk canceled his trip, if you don't want to be drawn in i would go to the arab coalition. remove as saddam hussein from power, they weren't taken up on it then, now is the time to go and build that coalition in the arab gulf and have them take on and follow on to what our attacks were to try to leverage them. >> mike what did you make of secretary tillerson's very clear two step process? get rid of isis, that's the priority, he almost sound

john, characterize that right? ratcheting up of the rhetoric at minimum? >> no question. both secretary state tillerson and u.n. ambassador haleyes was not going to press for assad to be removed from power. now rex tillerson said, suggesting he won't have a role in the future of syria, asking russia to reconsider its support, did not say, as you guys indicated, what a u.s. response might be, whether there's a military response. we just got wire flashes from air force 1 where president trump said on that airplane flight, he's not yet briefed members of the senate on military options regarding syria, but that is a situation that is obviously fast changing within the administration as the president said yesterday in his news conference. it's changed the way that i think about the situation, and now the question is, are there going to be concrete conseque e consequences and when? >> we have been here before. you were going to talk about the markets? >> a quick take on the markets. rex tillerson started when the markets were at 6358, lost three points, started session highs, syria headlines at 2:00, and that skritaccelerated to the
