foreign policy welcome to you both starting with you first the america first policy is it a good idea or a bad idea. it sounds like a good idea in principle but it depends what you mean by it and how you implement it the fact of the matter america first has always been it's every country's actually objective and foreign policy is to be first that's what we call national interests every every country in the world pursues its own national interest but when you behave if you will. as we have seen from this administration in washington where america first means basically addict at some countries or means. you know the any particular country's foreign policy is made in washington and simply implemented in that country's capital that is not playing well in many countries. particularly when the president reduces it to essentially his own personal agenda for the administration whether it's arm sales or reversing certain economic measures that he feels unfair for for the united states that that gives if you will a new meaning to america first that we have not we have not seen before although t

agenda, in fact, risked putting america last. >> well, it is a paradox that by espousing "america firstresident trump is risking having america last -- or, if not last, second or third or fourth or fifth. the climate change, along with some other key risks, is existential, it's taking increasingly the center stage. and if america is gonna be awol, absent, then others will occupy the field. and certainly, china with its size, its wealth, and its political commitment is in a position to marginalize america's role -- not just in climate change, but trade and with other relations. so it's one thing to stand up for american workers and stand up for our country, but we are part of the big world, and it's very important that our national leadership recognize that and forge the agreements on trade and climate change that the rest of the world expects from a great power as the united states is. it's not something you just can ignore. we're looking at starvation, disruption, mass migrations, the spread of diseases. and this is coming, and they're irreversible tipping points that the scientists --

this was a kind of distillation of what will become known as the trump doctrine of america first but the world. this was a bringing together of the different strands. 0n the detail, i agree with you. i think that actually, there is more continuity that he would ever wa nt to more continuity that he would ever want to acknowledge in a rhetorical sense. there was one country that surprised me when it popped up in his speech, which was pakistan. the administration has said it wants to get tougher with pakistan in the fight against terrorism. as isis retreats from syria and start to look towards afghanistan, do you think this is them putting a line down in the sand? i was taken aback by that as well. that was a strong statement to make in a speech that did not mention many nations around the world. though it clearly was a signal to pakistan that the us is going to be very thoughtful about how we spend american dollars for foreign aid in pakistan. there is an expectation from the president of what the united states would help to see pakistan deliver with regard to security along the borde

hello everyone i'm kemal sons and maria we know it is all about america first but donald trump's latest announcement on national security has showed he still has a wary eye on the international stage most notably china and russia yes iran and north korea are still seen as threats but china and russia trump says they are competition this was all part of the unveiling of trump's national security strategy in a speech in washington on monday in it he criticized pasta administrations for. not looking out for the interests of american citizens and made it clear that his way forward would involve competing with other countries rather than cooperating with them as much in the president's own words quote we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for a country like we have never stood up before but in putting america first other countries were also put on notice here is donald trump on china and russia. we will attempt to build a great partnership with those and other countries but in a manner that always protects our national interest but while we seek such opportunities of cooperatio

under his america first approach to foreign policy, the president says he plans to a race america's tradeit. let's get more on the story from hong kong. bit of speculation as he labeled china a strategic competitor. it is interesting. they did talk about the u.s. eating in strategic competition with other countries and the importance that the u.s. uses every lever it can to ensure strategic competition is something that goes in the favor ,f the u.s., military diplomatic, and economic levers, bu. bush used aw. particular phrase, the chinese complained and the administration stopped using it. there had been a report that trump was going to go so far as to describe china as an economic aggressor. he certainly didn't go anywhere near there, but the global times yesterday has come out with a response to that report that was in the financial times saying that if trump were to do that and accompany it with measures to punish china, then you could find themselves and the situation of a trade war, but we have not gone quite that far so far. yousef: right. what potential action is there in terms of

i think we're seeing a move in strategic views of the world by the united states that a puts america first and it's not about america over japan over russia over europe it's about america we're going to take care of what we need to take care of at home before we give away sovereignty money work or whatever else we need to put ourselves in peril for some other external need and i think that's what's being said here and i just came back from a conference in india where the same confusion kind of reigned among internationals who really didn't understand that america first is a common doctrine in every country what country would not want its own government to put its own people first internally and then xterm only do its work for it so i think i think we had a kind of a base understanding of it to begin with secondly you're seeing a huge emphasis of using trade and using economics as foreign policy and more so the united states has done it maybe one hundred years and i think that's a lot of what's at work here the tough language with russia china it's in your yes it's in there and and i too i

comprehensive planners trying to sabotage the iran nuclear arms deal we see in this document the us in america first it says america will be the dominant power we're no longer going to pretend that multilateralism is enough to keep china and russia and other countries in their place because they are rising and so america must put them back in their place and thus it will be by the by the exercise of american quote american threats american intimidation we see that at the u.n. today trump is telling the rest of the world you know if you vote the wrong way today on jerusalem you're going to be punished that's not engage mitt that's that's bellicosity and using either military or the threats of military or economic aggression or sanctions and. the way of this imploding or policing the new post world war and now post or order that's very interesting you know mike when i read the report i found it to be very defensive about defense ok because i what really disturbed me was the lack of using diplomatic tools and i really very much agree with what brian was having to say here i mean particularly china i me

we understand what the president said today that america first doesn't mean america alone. he is taking the facts over the feelings that we've heard so much about over the last eight years, and he's trying to be realistic about it instead of idealistic, and i think that the rest of the country recognizes that, you know, as you mentioned, threats like climate change, which no one has proven or terror to the whole entire world. it's just much better to focus on what we have in terms of the real and tangible with a i see to fix the problems that threaten the whole entire world. and i believe the president has done so very coherently in this last, latest move. charles: rebecca, where do we stand as the policemen of the world? how does that play vis-À-vis america first? >> well, what the president is trying to do is he doesn't want to be the policeman of the world. he wants the united states to be respected. he wants the united states to engage when it's america's interest to engage. so that means, you know, we want to defeat isis where isis exists. and, by the way, the presiden

aspect i think it's a i disagree a little bit with your introduction because while it's called america first it really returns american foreign policy to where it was prior to president obama it really goes back to the broad bipartisan consensus that the u.s. needs to lead and we need to stand up against our adversaries and support our allies and so i see this going back to reagan peace through strength which is discussed in the document going back to even clinton and bush's foreign policy president obama was lead from behind us a little away from our traditional american foreign policy so i see this returning us to to where we were prior to president obama taking office surely you don't see it as a radical departure from american tradition i don't but i do see it as a radical departure from the obama administration where we reached out to the iranians did everything we could to get a nuclear deal with them there was some great reporting in politico that you probably saw this week about the obama administration turning a blind eye to hezbollah taking over the world drug trade so that he coul

with every decision and every action we are now putting america first. we are rebuilding our nation, our confidence, and our standing in the world. we have moved swiftly to confront our challenges and we have confronted them head on. we are once again investing in our defense almost $700 billion, a record this coming year. we are demanding extraordinary strength which will hopefully lead to long and extraordinary peace. we are giving our courageous military men and women the support they need and so dearly deserve. we have withdrawn the united states from job killing deals such as the trans pacific partnership and the very expensive and unfair paris climate accord, and on our trip to asia last month, i announced that we will no longer tolerate trading abuse. we have established strict new vetting procedures to keep terrorists out of the united states and our vetting is getting tougher each month. to counter iran and block its path to a nuclear weapon, i sanctioned the islamic revolutionary guard corps for its support of terrorism and i declined to certif
