u.s. and public opinion it's striking to see the bipartisan support behind this resolution at a time where there really hasn't even been a great deal of bipartisan cooperation in the united states senate it is a strike across the bow in terms of the impact it can have on the u.s. saudi relationship and it basically states to the trump administration in regards to m.b.a.'s and the killing of mr coo shoki it's time for the administration to fish or cut bait ok joan but the administration the white house is under no obligation to abide by the terms of the resolution did i understand that correctly that is absolutely correct the resolution in terms of its impact on the administration is non-binding however it does state publicly where the united states senate is when it comes to the status of the u.s. side the relationship the united states' relationship with prince muhammad and the future interaction between the united states and the saudi government in terms of the potential impact it can have on sanctions the impact on potential u.s. saudi weapons agreements in the future as well as continu

where was the u.s. public health service?ey don't have funding to go to africa for such purposes. in other words, we have essentially kept our military budget up and cut everything else. this is not a satisfactory approach to the type of comprehensive national competition -- international competition that we have to engage in with china. we have to think about that. do we have the economy capable of generating the resources necessary to engage in a vigorous competition with china globally. my answer is no, we don't. it's something we ought to be thinking about. >> to the side here? >> hi. brendan mulvaney. i want to tie that to the point robert daly made at the beginning and see if there's a link there. i agree the cold war construct is not only not helpful, i think it's harmful but it sells well. it sells here and it also sells in china rhetorically but it sells to defense contractors actually selling military weapons and it helps fund the pla as well. the question is, how do we frame it and how do we look at this competitio

u.s. rivalry and south korean public opinion, impact on domestic politics and north korea. and with regard to economic dimension i think south korea is a direct collateral victim of a china-u.s. trade war to the extent the supply chain for south korean origin manufactures to the united states runs through china and korea exports will be affected by truck and chinese exports to the u.s., plus slowing chinese domestic growth will have an impact on china-south korea trade complicit as impact on the south korean stock market. the korea national trade association estimated a full-blown trade war between u.s. and china would cause a 6.4% drop in south korean exports and a loss of about $36 billion. but to a certain extent this vulnerability for south korea has also been mitigated by the fact south korea has been pursuing for some time a diversification strategy away from trying, depending on time too much, and that strategy really shows itself primarily in the extensive investment and trade that is occurring between south korea and vietnam. south korea is vietnam's number one inve
