, 80% of our exports are going to the united states. people say that you don't make many mistakes you make one mistake and then you have to deal with the consequences. one historic error was to receive donald trump in -- who was insulting, who was attacking the mexican people. it didn't even take -- bother to read this book. says you have to provoke the opponent and if he is weak, we smash him. and if he is strong, we negotiate. so when my opponent is weak, we crush him. so, if you want to be respected, you have to respect yourself first. a president needs to behave with dignity, and i will defend the national interests. >> candidate -- i'd like to know what are the specific actions to redirect mexican exports in order to reduce the economic impacts resulting from our overreliance on the nafta agreement? thank you. >> we have opportunities throughout the world and we're going to take advantage of them before we talk about trade and investment. we need to talk but mutual respect, president trump four days ago, on again, insulted us, and

what made the company competitive and kept american jobs and united states -- in the united states, it means there are american workers making nails. we are deeply interlinked economies. we do the same thing on cars. it makes american production less effective. you cannot turn these things apart. >> the book is titled vanishing frontiers. theew is the president of aggression policy institute at the wilson center and a graduate of university of maryland. we'll get your calls. 202-748-8001, our line for republicans. 202-748-8000 for democrats f. -- democrats. if you're an independent, 202-748-8002. you write in your book about daniel lubinski. >> he is the one you find in starbucks or anywhere else and his -- has become the fastest nutrition bar. >> wisely significant? >> he tells us a story of mexican immigration. tend to be entrepreneurial. it is something you can see in small towns and cities around the united states. a lot of businesses have immigrant names, names and other languages. immigrants come with a desire to do something risky. do something new and pulled himself up either b

step up in it really see if they're complaining about the united states and trump why don't they just go it alone that it's not as if they don't have the resources to do it go ahead. but i think going alone is probably an viable for any major power or block today that interdependence which is built up is very very dense the networks which are financial economic political security intelligence as well as people to people ideas in every respect you look at the interdependencies of of major global pillars they are very very great they're not going anywhere you can try to shake them up you can rearrange them a little bit you can renegotiate relations and i think that's what it is trying to do and some other powers are trying to do as well but i don't think you're going to get rid of the i don't think europe wants to or can go alone britain is finding itself look at the position we're in now because briggs a deal look how difficult it is to try to do anything meaningful with that because in the end you cannot just divorce yourself from a global economy and so on what you can do is try to c

question for the united states. the future of the nato alliance is one that we have to address on a regular basis, and should remind everyone, there has been peace in the world for a long period of time. ron is the right person to serve as america's face and voice in belgium, and i'm happy to endorse his nomination. >> thank you senator. i want to thank all of our senate colleagues for coming here and providing an introduction. i think buys partisan support for these nominees speaks well of them and of this process. as chairman corbo says, you're welcome to stages not sitting there. we really do appreciate you making those introductions. >> i want to thank my other colleagues for attending, and i want to be respectful to the time, so, rather than reading an opening statement, i will simply ask for consent to enter into the record, i will turn to senator murphy. >> i will take your cue and we can get right to the nominees. >> let me thank the nominees and your families for your willingness to serve in these important

the countermeasures will only apply to the originating from the united states. they will take effect july 1 and will remain in place until the united states eliminates its trade restrictive measures against canada. where possible we have thought the products on the list that can be easily sourced from either canadian or non-us suppliers. i like to take the opportunity to thank the canadians who have been actively engaged in the consultations. i'm grateful for your input that have helped us build the best possible retaliatory lists. as we take these steps we are asking and acting in close collaboration with our like-minded partners. i was in fact in brussels on tuesday to discuss this issue. it's important to point out that there are also subject to the 232 terra from post on june 1. their allies and neighbors of the united states. canada's approach is and will be this. we will not escalate and not act on. judging by the feedback, countless canadians in many diverse political points of view agree with this approach. i can't emphasize enough the regret with which

are you in full agreement, complete agreement with the united states? president trump has stated that we are implementing sanctions and those sanctions are very strong sanctions. he also stated that until north korea takes the action, the sanctions will not be lifted, and japan is in full agreement, and japan's position is perfectly in alignment with the united states. and in our summit meeting this time, we had in depth discussion with president trump how which should respond to north korea. and ask for the future policy on north korea, inclusive of the u.s.-north korean summit meeting. we have detailed coordination. aligning our positions as i have already mentioned, japan and united states are always together. japan and united states will be in full alignment to seek success for the historic u.s.-another cree summit meeting in singapore. >> yes. thank you very much. maximum pressure is absolutely in effect. we don't use the term anymore because we're going into a friendly negotiation. perhaps after that negotiation i will be using it again. you will k

there for the united states to impose sanctions against russia. it's pretty much. economically light decision for them it doesn't really have an impact on their economy it has a big impact upon the european economy as a whole when you have countries like germany that have reliant on german on russian imports of gas and do a lot of business with russia who are very concerned about the sanctions and indeed in the new government in italy which is frankly saying that they think the sanctions against russia should be dropped so again you know the world is changing the days when the united states would just turn around and say you know we're going to impose sanctions on everyone else needs to fall or those days are coming to a close even had a french minister saying you know that the europeans are not facile states the united states there is a different mood and particularly with the trumpet ministration it's becoming more and more difficult for western powers to follow the united states blindly or you'd have the united states pulling out of the paris c

this is about the united states and the posture the united states has chosen to assume against the rest of the world, particularly against its closest friends and allies in these are measures applied -- allies. these are measures apply not only to canada, but toward the eu and mexico. we believe it is a highly regrettable one. we said that directly to our american counterparts. >> we've got two minutes left. there are six people on the list. we have time for one more question. french]king this will affect the schedule you had chosen for the g7. >> we always expected there to be some differences of opinion amongst various g-7 members, especially when it comes to climate change and international trade. >> we have many elements upon which we agree. we knew we would be having some frank and honest discussions on those topics and others. we will certainly see that the incontinues to be useful allowing frank and honest discussions and rigorous discussions. >> is it possible that your government will offer financial help to the aluminum and steel industries if this trade dispute continues over

the united states has never been interested in that. by talking about kennedy 1963 talks about the nuclear arsenal for clinton when she was secretary of state to say we will be stronger than ever with more nuclear weapons many times over 12 last year said the nuclear arsenal was top of the pack. . . . . for that matter passive defenses that can contribute to our security and of others in this ring seamanship theory. >> your argument in the book is that it the united states willingness and resolve to send allies to defend her and just depends on her vulnerability to nuclear war so the more we can limit the vulnerability the more we can limit our adversaries vulnerability the better we can understand conflicts of interest with other aaron state. the answer is its offense and defense so having the nuclear capabilities to conduct counter for strikes and the capability which is something the united states has for decades been interested in. it's a part of the defense of whatever survives to be able to protect yourself and to protect your alli

as i have already mentioned, japan and the united states are always together but japan and the united states will be in full alignment for the historic us north korean summit meeting in singapore. >> thank you very much maximum pressure is absolutely ineffective. we don't use the term anymore because we're going into a friendly negotiation perhaps after negotiation, i will be using it again . you know how well we will do with the negotiation. you heard me say we are going to use maximum pressure. we knowthe negotiation did not do well . there's no reason to say. we in the meantime agreed on sanctions. have a list of over 300 massive in some cases sanctions to put on north korea and i've decided to hold that until we can make a deal because i really believe there is the potential to make a deal and i don't think it's nice knowing in under those circumstances but yes, the campaign hasn't changed. china has continued to hold the border. we would like them to do more in that sense but it's been really good and the president has been very good but maximum sanction is there. we are leaving

so they are lesser nations, which are unfortunately lodged in the united states. so this is going to be a conflict that you are going to have to resolve. you have to somehow make indians go away, because their presence in the current state is not tenable. indians have to leave the land altogether, because they cannot coexist with whites. and could not live in the republic. ,t may seem simply about race and it is to a certain extent, but think back to the jeffersonian vision of the legal order. if you have a country based on thatotion of plot of land is private property, it is harder to have a vision of indian nations within the united states. so it is the logic of the legal order being set up the also makes indian presence within the united states problematic in legal terms. not just a matter of race, but the kind of property regime at the root of the united states legal order. ofnot only the ideas republicanism and self-rule not extended to the indians, but indians are dangerous to the project of the united states. they are a different organization rooted within t

and among this week's other stories the united states pulls out of the u.n. human rights council accusing it of extreme anti israel bias and being assessed political crissy for the move strong language from global leaders and rights groups .

for 150 years, canada has been the united states's most steadfast ally.nd europe is already talking about retaliation. we'll announce, in the next couple of hours, counterbalancing measures. what they can do, we are able to do exactly the same. it's totally unacceptable that a country is imposing unilateral measures when it comes to world trade. so how could europe hit back? some all—american industries could be hit, like this us denim factory, with talk of the eu imposing other tariffs on bourbon, motorcycles, and even peanut butter. the truth is a big reason donald trump has introduced these new metal tariffs is to satisfy his supporters. it may not actually have the impact on jobs he says it will, but has risked a dangerous economic escalation with this country's biggest trading partners. at the very micro level, some household goods made of steel or aluminium could become more expensive for the american consumer. if there is retaliation from other countries, then some products could become more expensive elsewhere. but of course, at the other end of t

for the part of the united states i'm not sure if it's part of the brother strategy what i think is that donald trump really wants this summit especially to. find a way a chance to break with the previous administration of the previous american administration that obviously failed. in dealing with the north korean issue so i think that for trump this can be a breakthrough with the past well let's explore the motivations of both leaders a little bit more i've heard one american experts suggest kim and are preparing for totally different games ciampa said to be gearing up for a game of checkers while kimi is supposed to be positioning himself for a multiplayer multi board chaffed match do you agree that they approach did this meeting in totally different way i agree with that because continuing clearly started to play. this game with different actors not only with the united states and this is particularly clear if we take a look at what happened in the past few months can turn started with the olympic diplomacy in young tying in two thousand and five or is easier and than him at twice wit

government -- the united states government when it was instituted. 's to protect this entire country and many states that belong to it. i would like to know how obama took billions of dollars out of medicare and gave part of it to the california unions and wasted a lot of our medicare and our social security money and got away with it and used it as seed money for obamacare. same thing the federal government gave seed money to massachusetts to start their socialized medicine. you guys just want to put socialized medicine in without the effects of how it affects us a seniors. host: i have to leave it there. congressman? guest: thank you, rose, for your question. it is factually not correct that obama did that. keep in mind that he was operating and dealing with a republican-controlled congress for the last six years of office. in terms of what you say socialized medicine, under the act, we are talking about private insurers. we are talking about making sure people who can't afford health care get access to health care. it is private insurers who are

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states and the state wherein they reside. next, a panel of scholars looks at issues of race and citizenship and how the 14th amendment has applied to african-americans, chinese immigrants, and native americans. this event was part of a symposium hosted by the u.s. capital historical society. it's just over 90 minutes. for those of you who just joined us, my name is paul finkelman. i am the symposium director and i am currently the president of in greaterge philadelphia. some of you know me as a practicing academic, and in january i became the full-time insident of gratz college greater philadelphia. i have an odd role now i am in deep trouble. about the problem of citizenship, and as all of you know, the 14th amendment begins by saying all persons born or naturalized in the united states are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and the state in which they , asde, and in some ways pointed out in the last panel, the last talk, this is the second most important and fundamental chang

of direct engagement backed by pressure is the only solution to the north korean threat to the united states and oure allies and the broader region. stomach just a few hours ago president trump secretary linda secretary of state mr. bolton and the rest of the delegation concluded their summit meeting with north korean officials. this was a historic first staff in the important negotiation and in the words of the joint statement agreed to by the united states and north korea, both sides have committed to pursuing robust peace regime with complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the next step will test if we can get to ath verifiable deal which enhances the security of northeast asia and of our allies in the united states. resolving the 65-year-old international challenge will take a great deal of hard work as president trump explained a few hoursxp ago that today is the beginning of the arduous process and our eyes are wide open. i remain supportive of the administration position as secretary pompeo has reiterated the goal of the united states is the complete verifiable and irrevers

and of course, it's not. >> why did you choose the united states to study? i mean, it's not the obvious place one would go to discover extreme poverty, and even you talk about absolute poverty, which is even worse than extreme poverty, and you've noted that nearly 5.5 million americans live in absolute poverty. >> well, first of all, in my role as a u.n. special rapporteur, i go to a range of different countries. i've recently been to saudi arabia, i've been to china and the next mission i undertake will be to the united kingdom. so this is not just singling out the united states. it's in furtherance of the agreed u.n. policy that all countries will be accountable in terms of the impact of their policies on human rights. but leaving that aside, the united states is a world leader on a lot of policy issues, and i think the sort of approach that the u.n. -- that the u.s., rather, is now promoting, which is to -- try to reduce to the greatest extent possible the welfare budget, the sort of social protection that is provided, while at the same time increasing th

so for the united states to impose sanctions against russia it's pretty much. economically light decision for them it doesn't really have an impact on their economy it has a big impact upon the european economy as a whole when you have countries like germany the reliant on on german on russian imports of gas under a lot of business with russia who are very concerned about the sanctions and indeed in the new government in italy refuse frankly saying that they think the sanctions against russia should be dropped so again you know the world is changing the days when the united. states just turn around and say you know we're going to impose sanctions on everyone else needs to fall or those days are coming to a close even had a french minister saying you know that the europeans an awful states the united states there is a different mood and particularly with the trumpet ministration it's becoming more and more difficult for western powers to follow the united states blindly or you'd have the united states pulling out of the paris climate accord you've had them impos

all persons born or naturalized in the united states are citizens of the united intes and of the state where , they reside. how the 14th amendment has applied to african-americans, chinese-americans, and native americans. over 90 minutes. takingame is paul, i am symposium director. ofm currently the president the college in the greater philadelphia area. some of you know me as a practicing academic and in january, i became the full-time president. role in thed session because i am both the moderator and the introducer and i'm also the first panelist. i get to tell myself when i am running out of time. you should never let than the an epidemic to do that. -- an academic to do that. this session is going to talk about the problem of citizenship. the 14th amendment begins with all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state in which they reside. ways, this is a -- the second most important and fundamental change brought about by the civil war. the first was obviously come at the end of slavery

negotiation of those relationships and i don't think it's only the united states which is acting much more towards is particular national interest european powers among themselves have always a tension between the european element and their national interest so i think this is just being exacerbated at this particular time and clearly don't trump played a particular game but i think in the end the levels of interdependence between the european union europe and the united states remain very very high and i think there is a bit of upset here but i don't think there's a fundamental breach well we'll see how the tensions which are a little prone. to go to michael in washington i mean interdependency i think there's a lot more dependency than interdependency and that's what we're seeing right now and i guess fundamentally can we have a transatlantic alliance coalition as it were carry co-exist with america first and donald trump michel. well it's been it's beginning to erode what we're seeing is an erosion and perhaps a replacement of the u.s. led unilateral world order and i think that th

and i think the point you make about and ballistic defenses and all the rest is that the united states has been driving now at least twenty years. and is going to continue doing so for every opportunity to do so trying every country that there are directed against russia that is to me in refutable irrefutably true you know it's interesting because i don't see this security necessity mark but these systems are very expensive aren't they i mean someone's going to be cashing in on this they're extremely expensive but i'm sure the trumpet ministration will try to get the german government to foot the bill his constant complaint is you're going to say to the german government don't know you can't import cars or cars in the united states you're insane events but you have to take our assuring that they're not spending enough on their nato spending to counter the russian threat that is actually far closer to them so the u.s. wants they're already putting these missile defense or there was and paul and romania alaska at sea in south korea now they want to put them in germany there is also talk

member countries in all countries that receive assistance from the united states. he second achievement was congress passed legislation regarding bureaucratic organization of the state department that eventually led to the employment of the secretary of state for human rights and humanitarian affairs in the establishment of the -year-old of the same name in 1977. you can do why did philip habib james beckett and joseph eldridge or others take action in support of human rights? parley frankfurt has ridden quote there are occasions when a person realizes that what he cares about matters to him not nearly so much when such a way that it's impossible for him to bear on a certain course of action. i think they transnational connections made it possible for each of these activists to bear on a certain course of action. they serve as political entrepreneurs and galvanized other americans to work alongside them pressing for greater attention to human rights and u.s. foreign policy. these activist efforts became part of a broader transnational social movement devoted to huma

not only against the law, it's not only in violation of international obligation, imagine the united states is being condemned by the united nations high commissioner on refugees and human rights. because of this conduct. it's been described as torture of children. torture being defined as an act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as punishing him or her for an act he or she or a third person has committed. this is torture on kids. to rip them from their parents. and we today in the judiciary committee pleaded with the chairman, bring this matter br the judiciary -- matter before the judiciary. we have oversight responsibility for this process. we have a right to know what's going on. but we had a hearing today on a texas water district issue, a permit issue, but we couldn't this before ring our committee. this is a practice which does violence to children, which is tearing families apart, and for which there is no legal justification. and we have pleaded with our colleagues on the other side of the aisle,

what the united states has gained is vague and unverifiable at best. what north korea has gained, however, is tangible and lasting. by granting a meeting with chairman kim, president trump has granted a brutal and repressive dictatorship, the international legitimacy it has long craved. the symbols that were broadcast all over the world last night have losting consequences for the united states -- lasting consequences for the united states, north korea, and for the entire region. for the united states, it's permanent proof that we have legitimatized a brutal dictator who has starved his own people. for north koreans to have their flags atried, those of the united states, it's a clear symbol they're to be respected and that they belong among the community of nations and that their sins at home and abroad are beginning to be forgiven. if the united states is unable to win concrete, lasting concessions from north korea, the meeting alone will be a victory for kim jong-un and a defeat for president trump. even more troubling, only an hour ago president tru

once president of the united states, always president of the united states. that is the first time this had been articulated. the person who was president of the united states maintains that status. him,great britain received the rest of the world treated him as such, looking to queen victoria. >> what do we know about that meeting? >> they had a dinner. grant and his wife were there. the youngest son, jesse, was with them as well. he was not an -- invited to the dinner. he was supposed to have dinner with the household. according to some sources, mrs. grant was upset by this. she thinks the household means the staff. what it actually means is some of the lower board. she presses some individuals and eventually, queen victoria invites jesse to the dinner to an -- avoid any kind of snafu. has dinner with her. queen victoria writes in her diary that he was agreeable. agreeable in that american way. she seemed to enjoy dinner with him. she did not have a high opinion of his wife because of the way she doted on their son. queen victoria was not one for doting on

on its perceived national security grounds but it fails to rule against united states that that opens the door for other countries to follow suit and to act protectionist in protectionist ways even for bogus reasons if on the other hand it does rule against that the u.s. then trump may follow through with his threat to pull out of the b.t.o. in which case he really has blown a hole in the multilateral trading system and it would be hard to see. well it would it would it would be a very different system without the united states joe you said that many republicans have expressed concerns about the measures taken by trump and that we've seen also unions expressing concern where does this new move leave u.s. consumers and u.s. companies. well of course there's still the a lot of the companies and consumers that have the same worry that the members have they don't know exactly what the impact will be and they're fearing that it'll have a negative impact obviously but president trump is counting on the fact that he's been very independent minded and counterintuitive in the past and wh

from the british and irish ambassadors to the united states, and then kathleen burke from the college of london. the white house historical association hosted this hour-long event. >> thank you for joining us this morning. delighted to welcome you to the united kingdom and ireland in the white house. the white house historical association, as many of you know, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established to enhance the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the executive mansion. by firstunded in 1961 lady jacqueline kennedy and since then has pursued an educational mission reflected in public programs, exhibitions, publishing and research. introducing a wide audience to the rich history of the white house requires looking well beyond our nations capital, and well beyond the borders of united states if self. that's why we have cultivated partnerships to make white house history more accessible to many around the world. in 2016, we held at the first of our internationally themed symposiums, which explored italy's ties to the executive mansion. in 2017, our event focused o

is, how to apply pressure, and the tone of the language -- are you in full agreement with the united states? president trump has stated we are implementing sanctions, and those sanctions are very strong. he also stated that until north korea takes the action, the sanctions will not be lifted. and japan is in full agreement. position ispan's fully in alignment with the united states. we had an in-depth discussion with president trump as to how we should respond to north korea. policiesr the future on north korea, inclusive of the u.s.-north korea summit meeting, we have detailed ordination aligning our positions. as i have already mentioned, japan and the united states have always been together. japan and the united states will be in full alignment. historic u.s.-korea summit meeting in singapore. pres. trump: thank you very much. maximum pressure is still in effect. we don't use the term anymore because we are going into a friendly negotiation. perhaps after the negotiation, i will be using it again. you will know how well we did. "we are going say to use maximum pressure," you'll know the

so, can the united states actually prevail no.the united states gets away with what they're doing now in geneva, for the first time ever, article 21 is the subject of a challenge. for all of the existence from 95 onward, no one wanted challenge under article 21. nobody wanted to raise this concern. it was the third rail of che drama and the concern was that you did not want channels deciding what is there not security. this is come up clearly now on it's in disputes between russia and the ukraine as a result between the russia and ukraine, russia did things equally as unequivocally as what the united states did. they banned transit of goods between ukraine and kazakhstan and going further east by ukrainian goods. among the most of the wto as if you are landlocked country cannot be precluded from transiting somewhere else otherwise every landlocked country would have no right. so it is that you cannot bar transit through your territory. mexico is barring trying to go east, it must go over land and piece of russia. a clear violation

are you in full agreement, complete agreement with the united states? >> translator: president trump has stated that we are implementing sanctions, and those sanctions are very strong sanctions. he also stated that until north korea takes the action the sanctions will not be lifted and japan is in full agreement and japan's position is perfectly in alignment with the united states. and in our summit meeting this time we had in-depth discussion with president trump about how we should respond to north korea and ask for the future policy on north korea including the u.s./north korea summit meeting we have deep cooperation underlining our position. as i have already mentioned, japan and the united states are always together. japan and united states will be in full alignment to seek success for the historic u.s./north korea summit meeting in singapore. >> yes, thank you very much. maximum pressure is absolutely in effect. we don't use the term anymore because we are going into a friendly negotiation. perhaps after that negotiation i will be using it again. w

negotiation to be had about his future to relations with united states. as they say of diplomacy you're someone blinked but. the rest was history. the crisis was resolved at least for the time being. interline nine hundred ninety four kim il sung. the man who had served as north korea's great leader for more than four decades now became the eternal president's . case you're going to you know. he was succeeded by his son kim jong il. meanwhile north korea and washington continued formal talks in geneva a new cases the u.s. delegation was led by senior diplomat robert can. agree to freeze the operation of its current nuclear reactors in exchange for new light water reactors that would be provided by a consortium of states including the us. the new reactors could be used to produce energy but not weapons grade plutonium. to go shooting objective and nine hundred ninety four was to stop a put tony of production nuclear weapons program in north korea when we concluded the deal we did exactly that they had three reactors one operating two under construction to

they are lesser nations, which are unfortunately lodged in the united states. this is going to be a conflict you're going to have to resolve. you have to somehow make indi ans go away, because their presence in the current state is not tenable. altogether because they cannot coexist with whites. ais is about race to certain extent, but think about this jeffersonian vision of the legal order. if you have this notion of a country formed on plots of land that are private property, it is harder to envision indian nations within the united states. it also makes indian presents within the united states -- precense within the united states problematic within the legal order. not on the ideas of republicanism and self-rule not extend to indians, but indians are dangers to the project of the united states. a different organization rooted within the united states is problematic, and that has to be dealt with. indian nations are under the protection of the federal government. we are moving them more into the protection of the federal government rather than on equal terms.

sanctions and any agreement between united states andne north korea must be permanent. president trump and his team must take stock of what has happened what north korea has achieved and what we have yet to achieve with the sake of these national security but the safety of the american people the united states can no longer can settle for no less with permanent duty on --dash denuclearization. i yield the floor. >> i rise to speak a be engaged in discussions we have a trade act from 1974 and 1962 to layout provisions how we would go about dealing with tariffs. section 232 with the president of the united states can declare something a national security, issue and when he does that it keeps them from having to go through the normal process one goes through to deal with tariffs. physically when the president chooses a section of that bill, he has to go through a preswhen he decides what he wants to place on anoer country he has to go to another entity to show that somehow united states has been harmed. the reason he puts in place tariffs. wi o psident has chosen to do is

clear the united states -- isn't clear if the united states wants to continue. that is an issue with investors. we could go on perhaps on some other issues. but this is a circumstance where once the united states was the country that was actually creating the conditions for orderly business and commerce in the region, now we've become the primary disrupter. and the problem with that is that if the you're an invester looking long term you can't make decisions based on that. but it also provides the condition that is an outside country like china but others as well can come in and take advantage particularly if the state is behind some of the the investments as we've been talking about the with perspective to china in the region. so this is helpful. despite that there are other issues as well. even as we mentioned previously even if the united states were to change course today and have a policy shift today on trade the damage that's being done is going to take a long time to overcome. supply chains once they develop lsewhere cannot just be up wound. if other coun

we continue to work closely with the united states on a number of different issues. i spoke to secretary pumpeo, we talked about ukraine, north korea, canada has been doing to maintain the sanctions, the deputy secretary of state, i met with him in person, john sullivan on copenhagen, so it is a very deep relationship. that relationship continues, relationships with us counterparts, the mayor of hamilton talked to me how he has been reaching out to the us mayor counterpart. and it i am confidence for 151 years. >> do you believe common sense can prevail with trump in the white house along is he is there? >> i'm actually confident common sense will prevail. at the end of the day i am an economic determine just, and it is a powerful thing. the economic reality, our relationship to the united states is balanced and mutually beneficial. take the steel industry, the us has a slight surplus in trade, steel and canada. it doesn't make sense and something called rule of law matters to canada. >> you talked about protecting workers, what about businesses? there has been a fear

it is a moment that is kind of sad for us in the united states to watch after 70 yea rs of the unitedworld trading system stable. if it is possible to put this briefly in a nutshell, what we mean by a trade war? well, we mean increased tariffs, certainly by the united states, on critical product. retaliation from other countries, and certainly from europe and canada, they have already announced this. products against which they themselves will raise tariffs to be from china which is also being threatened. altogether, these countries can make a very large impact on us exports and on the production system within the united states did it on prices, an employment levels... if we go through with this it is very scary. i would like to emphasise again that we are not there yet and we have seen we are not there yet and we have seen this movie several times over the last few months. we may back off. i hope so. the dwarf planet pluto has long been a mystery to scientists. but now experts say they've found important new evidence about the planet's surface — which in places resembles sand dunes f

and what is very interesting is this cynical had to do it over the united states i mean the spokeswoman for the state department old get denied i'm caught in the minutia through more according to which the u.s. all know opposed the pipeline in order to sell gas to europe well it's not a militia is the rule of the example but i believe through. the issue of the rule of that we've heard that bothered about iraq not even weapons of mass destruction before the american invasion or. a russian drone is bob good been actually a research we're going to get to that story ok since you brought it up mark in that explained the resurrection of a russian journalist in ukraine who's in russian and i think i got them right ok so this journalist opposition activists are back janko he's a veteran of the chechen war he tried on the russian side the russian side he tried to get out of military duty by claiming mental illness in fact he got caught bribing a doctor to claim he was mentally ill he ended up not serving when his parents broke in there was commander's office and threatened to chain themselves to

this workse is better in the united states. police control of the gang is way better than it is in central america. for the gangs to be -- to have a low profile is better for them, to escape or go under the radar from the police. that has been happening. in the other part, extortion. our caller talked about the capacity that these gangs have to control territories and how that control allows them to somet people, to charge sort of tax, a criminal tax. that is the main criminal activity of ms-13 in central america. that is because in central america, in great portions of el , evenor and honduras above the presence of agents. actually, they are the law and that allows them to impose themselves and charge for extortion. seen that extent or degree in the united states. we asked about this and we actually went and messaged some places. i spent a lot of time in maryland. they do extort people, but mainly they extort businesses, latino businesses or businesses within the latino community. those businesses themselves are illegal. they

now against the former position of the united states have said that they are not minding. staying in power now assad staying in power is a very important russian interest so we now support this russian interest and now america supports this russian interest so i'm sure we will be filled to respect this is not what i am i what i ask you about because for russia preserving syrian territorial integrity and sovereignty east paramount it's not just about who sits in damascus it's about keeping the country intact and i ask you specifically on the american plans not official plans but actively discussed plans to establish a quasi i protectorate a quasi american protectorate in that country. what is the process and cons for israel they are well i would say the only pro for israel is. syria which has no press. of hizbollah shiite militias and iran and not only that not allowing iran to build a major ballistic missile facilities because we cannot allow the iranians to build missiles in lebannon or in syria and give it to the hizbollah and they use it as proxies against us this is so

welcome to worlds apart is often said that the united nations is only as good as its member states allow it to be but what happens when those numbers state deliberately start to act institution itself its legacy the synergies it create cool for the whole is greater than the sum of its parts while to discuss that i'm now joined by the united nations secretary general until this secretary-general first of all let me welcome you here in moscow it's great to see you thank you very much for your time let me start with congratulating you on the portugal's victory over. the did you have a chance to watch the game yes i watched the game and let's be clear we won the game but we didn't play very well exactly and that's what is your living near to my next question because according to that game starts tomorrow for a better across the board in terms of the possession of the ball in terms of the shots shots on target etc but they still lost and i wonder if. you often see these kind of dynamic of the united nations when that country puts up a good game but the final score is still northern it's favor

so we've been here a year and a half -- we've been here a year and a half and because senators, united states senators that are elected by the people in their state don't want to cast a tough vote, they block everybody from voting. i have no idea why rand paul cannot get a vote on his amendment. it is ridiculous. he's been trying to get a vote on it for years. years. and we block it. why is that? i want to say for the record, i've held amendments this morning until we could work out the solution. i am not holding any amendments. none. zero. i'm holding no one's amendment. but we as senators, we're worried somehow that this gosh, almighty. i heard the senator from texas, the senior senator from texas saying the other day, well, gosh, we might upset the president. we might upset the president of the united states before the midterms. so, gosh, we can't vote on the corker amendment because we're taking, rightly so, the responsibilities that we have to deal with tariffs and revenues. we can't do that because we'd be upsettin president, the president of the united states. i can't believe it. i wou

strategy of the administration but certainly this is a breakthrough in the relations between the united states and north korea so it's certainly unconventional in diplomatic practices but it can be a very important opportunity for both contraries and for the whole region that you mentioned a possibility that this could be part of a broader strategy on the part of the trumpet ministration and from what we understand there have been some preliminary torts but hardly over technical nature of the negotiators most likely simply didn't have time to get into the needed greedy of technical specifications of the north korean nuclear program does it even matter is it even necessary in this particular case whatever the result of the singapore summit even it's likely to be mostly political rather than technical well i think that through the negotiations have been taking place are more technical than political but for sure this is part of a broader strategy on the side of north korea that's for sure they sort of the diplomatic offensive in january. for the part of the united states i'm not sure if it's par

listen. >> the united states has great strength and patience. it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocketm rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime. >> your thoughts today, john. >> yes. the u.s. has a security relationship with japan. if it's attacked, the u.s. comes to the support of japan. so that missile wouldn't necessarily have to get to the united states. it would, as you point out, have to hit an ally in the region. the bigger question here though is at the end of the day, north korea's survival and the regime survival depends upon having those weapons. it seems a long reach to believe that they actually will denuclearize in the manner which the united states expects. >> trace: and that is the $64,000 question, the definition of denuclearization seems to be different from north korea's perspective. john bussey, great to see you. >> pleasure. >> trace: well, ahead, a closer look at north korea's former military intelligence chief. the man that just gave

he is the president of the united states. words do matter. they don't matter any more than wh they come out of the mouth of the president of the united states. especially when he's talking to the country's closest allies. >> and you think it will fray the relationships? you think america's closest allies, something will change geo politically because of this tension we're having? >> look at the response already. look at how trump has dragged everybody down to his level. you have macron and merkel responding to him on twitter. international statesmen are having conversations over twitter, trading barbs. this is not how world relationships are meant to be conducted. this is not good for any. diplomacy should be boring. it ought to be dull. it should be putting us to the sleep unless we are experts on the subject. but the fact that it is never a dull moment with the president of the united states is not a good thing. >> tony, you are able to get into his head because of all the time you spent writing his book,ing "the art of the deal." it is all
