hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. >> it is of cour angela merkel. hallie preview the news conference for us if you can. are we expecting bygones to be bygones? >> reporter: that's what we're going to find out. angela merkel is certainly somebody who has interacted on the world stage if she tips her hand to how she is feeling about this, it will be done in a subtle manner but you got to pick up on her cues here. what we've seen so far the meetings, the pool spray and at rifle it's been cordial obviously. i think, i would imagine that some of the reporters who will be able to ask questions of the leaders today will press angela merkel and donald trump on their relationship, given some of those past comments. he was very strong on the campaign trail, coming out against germany particular as it comes to her policies on immigration and refugees, very timely for the u.s. in light of this travel ban that just got blocked a couple of days ago here president trump tried to put in place, so i think it's certainly going to be as all of these have been, craig,

this is an important meeting for angela merkel. president barack obama and angela merkel had a close working relationship that brought berlin and washington the closest they had been for a source of and was a pride for germany. there is a feeling that angela merkel will be starting from square one. the new president is someone germans are skeptical of. they're not sure what to make of contradictory remarks. and he has made very barbed remarks about angela merkel, claiming her refugee policy was written in germany. brexit when for angela merkel was talking about reintegration. and the nationalistic rhetoric when germany is calling for greater ties economically -- she is a very experienced diplomat. she has worked with difficult leaders before. they will be having conversations on issues like syria, russia, north korea. trying to gauge donald trump's stance on issues important to germany and europe, like climate change. there will be a little give on the issue of nato. donald trump has called for germany to up its defense spending fo

he didn't call her angela, he called her angela, which is notable because angela is her name. angela is not her name. he was upset "time" magazine put her the cover over him in 2015. she was chosen as person of the year and on the cover of "time." he tweeted, "time" magazine would never pick me person of the year despite being a big favorite. they picked the person ruining germany. that's what he harped on, her decision to allow a million refugees into germany ruined that country. he would cite a friend of his who says germany doesn't feel like germany any longer because of all the refugees that have been able to go into their borders. he also said, you watch what happens to angela merkel, who i always thought she was a very good leader until she did this. i don't know what happened to her. angela, what went wrong? you can see right now on the screen a number of officials walking into the east room where donald trump -- >> this is the u.s. delegation. part of the business delegation, we're told. we just saw the ibm ceo walk in a few moments ago. we know they were in that round

>> that's for angela. were -- angela was on "a.c. 360," and she had had this conversation about lower the bar for president trump. here's the clip, and then angela, i want you to explain what you meant. >> sure. >> i think that the bigger issue that i have, speaking of having no chill, is that if this would have been under the obama administration, there would be no end to this. barack obama had to be the next best thing to jesus. and here we are, just two months in, and there is issue after issue, maybe it's not russian collusion, maybe it's collusion with the intel committee chair, but it's highly problematic. >> angela, first to you. tell me what you were getting at? >> sure, i think it speaks for itself. this president has been in turmoil since the campaign. he talked about grabbing women by their private parts. he is -- this is a man who, let's put the shoe on the other foot. barack obama, a black man in this country running for president with not one, not two, but three baby mothers. let's, you know,

you know angela merkel. how effective can she be in performing -- in forming a personal relationship? of angelaperception merkel is that she is pretty , and very much a scientist by the books kind of person. what struck me is how incredibly personal and engaging and charming she is. and it makes sense. she grew up in a political system that you get to go out to the public and get lots of votes running for chancellor. my first meeting like the one that is happening today is the one that happened between president obama and chancellor merkel a couple of months after the allegations broke about the cell phone being tapped. it was not a day at the beach meeting. i was able to watch that relationship go from a little bit of chill in that first meeting to the closest personal relationship. and so i have no doubt that she has got the personal skills to with someone who seems to relish personal relationships. and she seems to respond on that basis. has been our most recent ambassador to germany. let's get a check on

angela, what happened?s massive immigration has been to germany and the people of germany. >> all right. christiane, those are tough words, how do they get over that? >> well, they're very tough words. but, you know, what is going to happen is that angela merkel is talking to donald trump with a new found sense of self-confidence. the whole idea of the populist idea because of the refugees have been negated in austria and there is a new sense of confidence for europe. plus, you know that angela merkel was on a phone call with donald trump just a few days ago, few weeks ago when he brought the first muslim country travel ban and she had to remind him that geneva convention are obligated to help people who are fleeing death and problems in their own countries. i think they'll be talking about this. she too, can't see her country open to every refugee in the world and she's taken steps against that. what you played just earlier goes to the heart of this relationship. because donald trump has made a transaction

so donald trump has used angela merkel as a foil for a long time.under fire in her own country because she has taken a very welcoming posture toward refugees coming from syrian conflict, and that created friction over in germany. you also over in europe have the e.u. where you have angela merkel and germany having a very strong role in that institution, and in some cases, there are voters in germany who think germany is doing too much to help out countries that have more struggling economies. donald trump on the other hand takes the view, america first, we have to make sure our borders are secure. it is the contrasting message to what merkel has been staying at home, and those two forces are in tension which is why this meeting is so fascinating. >> leland: we will have to see these two leaders, road leaders take the stage, traditionally the united states and germany are close allies. they are speaking to different audiences, as you note, now we listen to the president inside a business roundtable. >> chancellor, thank you very much. such a great ho

angela, what happened? hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. >> now, the two will stand side by side for a news conference in a little over an hour. we'll see if he calls her angela or angela or chancellor, now that they're both world leaders. you'll see it live right here on cnn. here is our panel of reporters. jonathan martin, emily cook, molly ball, and our own manu raju. it's an incredibly busy day. we talked about merkel arriving at the white house, the healthcare situation going on. but there is something that also happened. many people thought was really impossible. an apology. an apology from the white house. this one was to britain for a claim of fox news analyst that british intelligence might have spied on trump at the behest of president obama. the west wing continues to stick by the accusations that president obama had him surveilled, evidence-free claims. i want to talk about the white house and angela merkel being there. you've got nato, the refugee crisis, and a host of other

how do you think that went over with angela merkel? year, very strong social democratic party to her left, major competitor. i don't think we'll hear any iron clad promises to raise the german defense budget. what the germans have been till teleing people -- i heard this on a trip to berlin last year -- was that after the election, they would move over time to hit 2% of gdp, which is the nato floor for all defense spending. where germany goes, other countries in the eu will follow. >> the other big story of the day is what's going on with north korea and secretary of state rex tillerson. listen to what he said earlier today. >> let me be very clear. the policy of strategic has ended. we're exploring economic measures, all options are on the table. certainly we do not want to -- for things to get to a military conflict. we're quite clear on that in our communications. if north korea takes actions that threatens the south korean forces or our own forces, then that will be met with an appropriate response. >> all actions are on the table

angela merkel for the first time with donald trump. the german warns of they may retaliate against any new u.s. import tariffs. a global rally spurned by the president and markets are beginning to lose momentum. emerging markets having their best week in a year. awaysa may could be days from triggering article 50. european officials are ruling out any discussion of trade until that happens. let's have a look at where european equities are trading. 30 minutes until the end of the friday session. we are up for the week. forex, mixed performance. the euro lower today. cds's.odities in light of the big event yesterday, the boe here in the u.k., i want to show you this chart that highlights various esters of inflation. ofvarious measures inflation. inflation climbing to 3.5%. that's the blue line. januaryive years from has annual rpi, 2.6 percent. nominal rates are being priced far lower. that gap shows investors may be getting a little bit ahead of themselves on the inflation outlook further out. it wasn't only kristin forbes who suggested

will he get some pushback from angela merkel there?ck in 1984 to '87 i was with an airborne unit part of a nato force that was a quick reaction force for nato and also the allies there. so i think it is very important president trump clarified statements he previously made about nato and talk about his vision for what nato needs to be in the future and -- charles: with all due respect it should be less russian-centric, afraid of the old ussr, and more terrorist, al qaeda, isis, able to quickly move against them. >> should be actually both, charles. and what we have to come to understand we have state and non-state belligerents out there be it russia, china, iran and north korea and also the islamic terrorist organizations which any given day is between 22 to 25. so nato needs to look how it can make itself relevant for the new 21st century battle field. that is great conversation the two of them should have. charles: paying their fair share might be a good idea as well. >> yes. we can not be their defense structure anymore. charles: co

what does angela merkel have to say about this?and typical angela merkel fashion, the first thing she did was to explain this is actually legal, you only need a qualified majority, everyone knew that. they said, nevertheless, the qualified majority notwithstanding, they tried to have consensus, but the -- at least seeking consensus should not lead to a blockade. in this case, the polish blocking the scenario. she did not seem very upset about it, although she said she would prefer unanimity. brent: it would be nice to have this consensus going forward, especially because next week we have elections in the netherlands. >> that is one part of it. more portly, in two weeks, we have in rome, the summit that is going to kickstart the new european union. you can see here, tusk not being the only one. leaders being very worried about the polish behavior. for example, the prime minister of malta saying this was a very political decision, they decided to not support anything in the final declaration no matter what was the content of the fin

angela merkel will select a couple of german reporters. when you ask do think he'll be asked about it, depends who isoi the asking. that's part of the, if you want to say suspense building up to this news conference, it is obviously one of if not the biggest headline of the day, certainly, if not the last two weeks, since the president tweeted that claim so we will see if he in fact addresses it himself. he did talk with tucker carlson on fox but there have been developments since then including the fallout with our allies overseas. >> let me ask but that, sabrina. your parent company is in the uk, and this obviously is a whole new world. i hear from my friends who live overseas that they're watching daily briefings and they're certainly watching these press conferences. let's start with the obvious, how unhappy is british intelligence right now? >> they were unhappy enough to issue what is a very public rebuke and a rare public rebuke of the comments that sean spicer made, implicating the british intelligence community while trying to sup

president suggesting might have happened to him as well. >> reporter: yeah, in fact, we know that angela merkel's cell phone was, in fact, listened to during the obama administration and when it became public, of course, it was something that

the president held a roundtable with angela merkel there with german business leaders there as well. listen to this. >>> chancellor, thank you very much. such great honor to get to know you, to be with you. i want to thank all the business leaders who have joined us to discuss a subject very important to me, training our work force for the 21st century with respect to manufacturing jobs. we're working every day to bring back jobs to our country and thousands and thousands are coming back, you're reading about it in the papers every single day, we want to make sure we have the work force development programs to make sure these jobs are being filled by american workers, as we continue to develop a strong work force in both of our countries, both germany and the united states are pioneering -- >> i want to go quickly to senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny is getting ready for this news conference, i know the stakes are very significant for both sides but set the scene. >> reporter: incredibly. largely because the two leaders are getting to know each other, we have heard while d

. >> it is 5:15 in new york, president trump welcoming angela merkel to the white house, the meetingld be tense because of significant policy differences, trump has criticized the refugee policy calling it a disaster for germany and said nato is obsolete but both sides insist they want to develop a strong working relationship. trump's budget proposal getting strong heat for members of his own party, they're keeping up the military but far less enthusiastic about trump's recipe for doing so without adding to the $20 trillion debt. and snapchat, the stock of its parent company, snap shares dropping below $20 after another analysts accelerating on the stocks, a lot of competition out there. it has been relatively up week for the stock market, no big games, we are flat, down to point, s&p down a point, nasdaq up not even a point. let's look at what is happening now. >> the trump administration defending its america first budget which contains deep spending cuts, creating a lot of pushback particularly in hollywood. here is more on the reaction. explain to us. >> reporter: people don't li

angela merkel bringing the ceos of bmw and siemens. crisis that continues to show no sign of letting up and of course, a frank conversation about the u.s. role in nato. the president has been skeptical of nato asserting that other members certainly haven't been paying their fair share. the treaty calls for a goal of states to spend about 2% of gdp. jermaine closed coming in at 2.13%. >> we strongly support nato, we only ask that the nato members make their full and proper financial contributions to the nato alliance, which many of them have not been doing. many of them have not been even close. they have to do that. >> it is also a good bet that the two leaders will discuss the refugee crisis that continues to overwhelm europe. the president, who you pointed out rightly, said that angela merkel made a catastrophic mistake in allowing nearly a million refugees into germany. it's pretty clear both will try to defuse the campaign tone rhetoric, but they are also mindful that they have domestic audiences that they have to speak to during t

angela merkel called on turkey to stop comparing the german government with nazis. was referring to recent comments by the turkish president that she was -- employing nazi tactics. reporter: it is very rare that german chancellor angela merkel breaks protocol as she did today , come bending on turkey instead of sticking to the routine -- she did today, commenting on turkey instead of sticking to the routine. she demanded turkey stop drawing nazi parallels to present-day turkey. >> my statement stands that the nazi comparisons need to stop. no ifs or buts. unfortunately they have not stopped and we will not allow the excuse that the end justifies the means. reporter: the turkish president has repeatedly accused germany of using nazi methods against turkish people living in germany. erdogan is angry. he is upset that a demonstration by kurds that was allowed to go ahead last weekend in front for. erdogan said that germany fosters terrorists. they called the nazi comparisons and outrage. >> i think someone has to tell mr. erdogan at the head of state of a nato country

then all eyes will turn to chancellor angela merkel.s mark crumpton mentioned, question surrounding russia's involvement in the u.s. presidential election has been around for months. led to theas dismissal of president trump's national security adviser. jefft attorney general sessions in the hot seat. i spoke with general michael hayden, former director of the cia and the nsa, author of a new book playing to the edge, american intelligence in the age of terror. i asked him if he is optimistic congressional hearings will lead to answers. --there is an interested interest to cross party lines. may be republicans want to show there is an. that's a good thing. >> how important is it for these hearings to be public? >> there are always sources and methods you don't want to reveal. this is a case where all ties go to the runner. go to being as transparent as we can. recall in january the intel folks put up this paper that the russians did indeed hacked the elections. i think that is right. they give it hike confidence. but they didn't show mu

hillary clinn want to be america's angela merkel.a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany and the people of germany. we have seen attacks in france, in belgium, in germany, all over the world. it is not compassion, but reckless to allow uncontrolled antry from places where proper vetting can not occur. stuart: now, the other side of the coin. there have been attacks by migrants who went to germany. they have conducted some attacks in the past year. president trump was railing against that. and against that for part of angela merkel's policy. give me a list of the incidents. ashley: it is quite a list of 2016. we can give you five or six. february last year a knife attack in hanover. a police officer was stabbed by a 15-year-old moroccan girl. in may, one dead, three injured. a man attacking people on a train in munich, yelling "allahu akbar!." in july 18th, axe and knife attack by afghan refugee injured five on a train. july 24th, ma chet see attack in germany. syrian refugee killed a pregnant woman. sail day, suicide

-- what could angela merkel agree to? she could use her influence in the eu to push towards a good multilateral trade agreement, but you are dead right. and by the way, in the u.k. they talked about doing a trade agreement with the u.k.. they cannot start negotiating out until they are actually of the eu. you can have pulmonary conversations, but just foriminary conversations -- conversations, but you cannot enter into a collateral -- bilateral trade agreement with the eu. and when a country hosts the g-20, they run up to that and have a series of ministerial scum and the point of those meetings is to develop those consensus-based issues that will then become part of the reporting or the agreements that come out of the g-20, which will take place in july. partnk what mnuchin was a doing was -- let's take this whole thing about terra soft the table, because we are not going to find a consensus on that. fs offrorists -- tarrif the table, because we are not when to find consensus on it. this is a brand-new policy of the admi

angela merkel while in the united states alongside with u.s. president trump expressed her hopes that things might improve. let's listen. >> translator: i am very gratified to know that the american administration and also the president personally commits himself to the minsk process. we need to come to a solution of this. there has to be a safe and secure solution for ukraine, but the relationship with russia has to be improved as well once the situation there on the ground is clarified. >> reporte >> so despite what we saw, germany and the united states, does that type of pressure make a difference when it comes to ukraine? >> reporter: russia's position on eastern ukraine is very clear. they maintain they are not officially party to that conflict and they are not responsible they say for the fact that tminsk agreement has yet to be implemented. but the optics of president trump standing with angela merkel, she is in favor of sanctions remaining in place, is something that will not be celebrated here in about moscow about that there was certa

angela? angela: foggy conditions out there this morning, it will be focusing once again on interstate 66, down to 12 miles per hour, the ride from gainesville towards centreville where we had earlier accident activity. once you get past that point, that is minor slowing on 66, but as you can see, the toll road is moving at a decent pace through fairfax county and to the legion bridge. accident show you the reported for the folks making the right through north washington, northbound 210 you may see a crash on indianhead highway, be alert for that. ,ur live cameras showing you southbound, you are on the brakes towards the spur. larry? larry: goodbye this morning. the emotional tribute to the mother and daughter who changed hollywood forever. but first, a shakeup on pennsylvania avenue, the new white house office and the man beating it who p >> you are watching "good morning washington," on your side. taking a live look at that morning commute this monday morning. checking the roads for you we h

let's start with angela merkel. because two of the most powerful people in the world met today at the white house. they met to talk about trade and terrorism and europe and international relations. but all everyone was talking about was this. watch this. >> as far as wiretapping, i guess by you know, this past administration, at least we have something in common perhaps. >> here's my question. did you see the look on angela merkel's face when the president made that joke? what's going on here? >> you couldn't have two more different people. angela merkel is this east german daughter of a minister, physicist, deeply analytic and also somebody who is deeply committed to the western values of liberty. she was born in a communist dictatorship. and while all of that is going on trump was doing what he was doing in new york in the 1980s and going on the howard stern show and boasting about his infidelities. this is two very, very different people. but i think the philosophical difference really is that she deeply believes

reporter: well, surely the deal is important for angela merkel and her government. we are six months away from national elections in germany and that refugee deal, so-called refugee deal, certainly has helped to ease tensions in germany, domestic tensions over her refugee policy, so it has helped her a lot. and a migration deal is certainly one of the reasons she is holding back, but also, we shouldn't forget that germany and turkey have been strong partners in the past. turkey is a nato ally. german troops and reconnaissance aircraft are stationed on a military base in turkey in the fight against the islamic state. turkey is a very close ally. so for all of these reasons, the chancellor does not want to escalate the tensions further. on the other hand, we are seeing politicians from across the aisle here saying that angela merkel should take a strong stand and she should clearly state, look, turkish politicians, you are not welcome to campaign here in germany. brent: and all along we have the german domestic intelligence agency saying a couple things. on wednesday

mark: is there likely to be a threat today from angela merkel that if the u.s. these thatrists -- the tariffs germany to retaliate? tony: that seems pretty unlikely. this is a get to know you meeting. there is a lot of state including for the markets in message, and even maybe the body language that comes out of this meeting in terms of, is this about conflict or are we trying to solve problems? merkel will always say we always trying to help the world's problems. she is a physicist and a very pragmatic politician, but i would not expect that. there has been noise from second-tier politicians in germany saying if the u.s. imposes the border adjustment tax, we are not going to sit still either. surprised if that is the tone that comes out of today's meeting. mark: tony, thank you. ?ulie was t here and joined by an economics minister. he is based in the u.s. and has his own consulting firm. thank you for joining us. we appreciate your time. we have this day when trump is meeting with merkel in washington. at the same time, we have treasury secretary mnuchin repres

angela merkel is known for her long, long history with vladimir putin. she has had a relationship with him over years. they've gotten together, they speak the same language literally, she has sat there and really understands him here she does not trust them, but she understands him. you have to think that has to be one of the main topics today. >> there is huge concern, as i said earlier, in europe about america changing its position on russia. there is a perception that we are appeasing russia, that the president has not condemned the ukrainian escalation that has taken place. he has not condemned russia now violating a very important nuclear treaty that is critical to the security of europe. there are many things he has not stepped up on that a traditional american president would have. he too believe i clearly has a different relation with russia than previous american presidents. europeans are very worried about this because they see russia as a real imminent threat to their security so i think this will be a very important part of the dialogue today

and angela merkel says, should we shake hands? and he doesn't acknowledge her, doesn't look at her direction. doesn't smile. it is such a notable difference, the body language in this room than we saw when donald trump was sitting next to shinzo abe of japan or when he was sitting next to benjamin netanyahu of israel. karen finnny has joined us, when you don't have a positive relationship or what looks like potentially not a positive relationship with germany, you know, what does that mean? germany is one of the most powerful allies we have. >> that's right. it is one of our most powerful allies. and no doubt, the german chancellor came here with a serious agenda to discuss with donald trump, and probably was a bit taken aback that he wouldn't even shake her hand. i mean, that's quite offensive. and i think as an american, it's offeive that our own president couldn't be gracio, given that he was hosting the cncellor and would then go out and try to make some sort of joke. and i think it goes, again that image goes again to his cre

angela who from that meeting between the two leaders. angela - who had such leaders.a as well. we will be live in washington, dc as soon as that press conference gets underway. we will pause momentarily, because we think we have time for the weather prospects. we have seen better weekends for the middle of march. it will be windy, with a lot of cloud and outbreaks of 5555 5 155 55 515-45 555 5-45515555 55 5555 5 155 55 515-45 555 5-45555555 55 mostly affects the northern rain. mostly affects the northern and western parts of the uk. cloud has been moving into the south steadily through the afternoon and into the evening. for many places, the view out the window look something like this. we have quite a bit of rain under this. let's look at the atlantic, because there is a lot more cloud heading our way. that is likely to bring rain with it, so pretty unsettled over the next few days. we've still got plenty of rain to come across the north and west of the uk overnight tonight. little bits and pieces will get across the pennines, but not too much rain in the south—east

like angela merkel, the region ‘s prime minister is established and well known but like angela merkel is the essence of an election it is all about who has a better plan from the country and on this martin schulz has not delivered anything. we on the other hand will offer a good plan and a good candidate. saarland it may be small but what happens here is important. >> it deals with regional issues but this time everything is different. this is germany's first regional election and it will be heavily influenced by national politics but the result will also affect the general election. expect some bruises. the right wing alternative for deutschland are not in the game. this is angela merkel versus martin schulz. martin schulz puts too much emphasis on campaigning and criticising other parties. merkel is not so bad. i like that she showed her human side with the refugee crisis. translation: martin schulz comes across as authentic by a think it cannot implement many of the things he promises. this is what martin schulz effect is all about. it could transform this tiny german state and it

more now on president trump meeting angela merkel. two leaders coming face to face for the first time. the german chancellor noting people are different and have different abilities. when asked about dealing with president trump compared to obama. the two leaders have had very different views on a range of issues. on russia, merkel said relations needs to be improve but first they have to solve the situation in ukraine. germany has led the way or penalties for russian invasion of ukraine. president trump has suggested easing u.s. sanctions against moscow. president trump spoke on nato. he said he pushed hard for the european nations to pay their fair share towards that alliance and on the refugee crisis, president trump said immigration is a privilege and not a right. in the past, he a counted the chancellor of ruining germany, called her refugee policy a disaster and said the german people would end up overthrowing her. analysts say today was a chance to start fresh. let's bring in a foreign affairs correspondent for politco. looked

angela, what happened? hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel.. >> so how do you think she'll handle that history there? >> i think what she's going to say, look what's happened here. we managed to absorb all of these refugees, some over a matter of really not just this current wave but waves going back really back to the 1970s and 1980s, we have absorbed them and proved to be the leader in europe in doing this thing. it's a humanitarian gesture and potential financial gesture because they are filling jobs in germany that germans don't want to fill and can't fill. there is a certain risk but she understands also the benefits that can result as well. >> the other thing that may happen today that has nothing to do with her, she may be standing next to the president when he has to face questions about the fact the white house had to apologize to great britain overnight for things the white house has been saying on wiretapping. great to have you with us, interesting discussion. the white house says the president's budget is focused on national securi

in short, hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel.nd you know what a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany. it is a catastrophe. look at what's happening with germany. the crime wave over there. merkel is not going to be elected. i think merkel is a really great world leader, but i was very disappointed that -- when she moved with the whole thing on immigration. i think it's a big problem. >> who do you trust more if you talk to them? >> i start off trusting both. but let's see how long that lasts. >> so with that, charles, do you think, since it clearly exists, people when they meet face-to-face have that in the back of their minds at some level, do you think it should be noted at some point today? >> you know, i think they're probably not going to air their dirty laundry. but it does put chancellor merkel in a tough spot, because the german public has reacted harshly to president trump's words. and even though merkel wants to show that she can work with trump, she can't be too close to him because that would be seen

just moments ago, from angela merkel. take a listen. >> i'm not sure that we need in writing that which we are all too aware of and that is there's no basis of what the president has said and what the president repeated today and i have express my mortification with angela merkel for him to repeat once again in the presence of one of our most significant allies this out landilandish cl that he was wiretapped by his pretty assessor ought to appall americans and reflects so poorly on the united states around the world, this should have never been a topic of discussion, a flippant work, it's just mortifying. >> reporter: how confident are you that that letter is going to show there's no evidence of wiretapping? >> i'm absolutely confident. there's in question about this. the president's statements before and his tweets since leading right up today have no basis in fact. >> reporter: so brooke, we'll see exactly what that letter says, but both adam schiff; dev devin nunes do not expect it will prove his claims that he was wir

on the other side, you have angela merkel and —— jean—claude juncker. of the day, it also involves all the other countries, and they have their own voices and wa nt and they have their own voices and want different things from the uk in terms of what their brexit will look like or what they want to establish in any ongoing partnership with them. so this is tiny. the other thing is, the negotiators themselves, we have the department for international trade basically hiring hundreds of trade negotiators, boring zone from canada. there is a whole to people that will be in this, many of whom we will not see their faces, but there will be flying around europe and to other parts of the world. and of course, francois hollande is about to lose elections. he is definitely out. angela merkel has a yellow card that because she could be out as their election is coming up be out as their election is coming up next year, i think. there will be interesting who becomes a household name amongst the european players. people knowjean—claude juncker, but perhaps not donald

he'll be side by side with german chancellor angela merkel in a few hours. we'll begin with nic robertson, in london, apparently the recipient of an apology. >> reporter: yeah, they wanted a promise this wouldn't happen again. gchq headquarters rarely make a statement. they describe what sean spicer said there as ridiculous. we heard from prime minister theresa may's office, i'll quote from what her spokesperson says. here we go. we've made clear to the administration that these claims are ridiculous and they should be ignored and we've received assurances that these allegations will not be repeated. that's what was told to a journalist this morning. why is this so important for theresa may? britain feels it has a special relationship with the united states. gchq has said, look, under any circumstances this couldn't happen. we share, britain shares with the united states the five i's, intelligence operation, if you will, that is, the united states, britain, canada, australia, and new zealand. under that agreement, under the terms of how those intelligence ag

and angela merkel is a globalist.ost of what she said on the press conference yesterday, she was lking about us doing business with the e.u. instead of doing a bilateral agreement between germany and the united states and that's why a lot of their talks failed. really don't think that people understand the functions of donald trump. he's a negotiator. and if you do read the "hart of the deal," just like to yesterday y'all were talking about the budget, you know, what was in the budget is outrageous but it's kind of like whenever you go to buy a car, you know the guy offers high and then you go low and you find somewhere in the middle. i'm not really worried about meals on wheels and it being cut. they're going to find a middle ground somewhere but i do think trump's major goal is to break down nafta and just like the u.k., i think they want to break down the e.u. and that in itself breaks down the commissioner which breaks down the whole globalist scheme. and i think people really need towns that if they donkeys they
