association pointed out in time magazine that even critics of the deal such as secretary of state might pump aoe have admitted that there is no evidence that iran is in violation of the agreement in short there is no legitimate basis for trying to re impose sanctions so what they're what you're looking at now is so we're pulling out of the deal as a country and then imposing more sanctions on people who are part of that deal. or wrongs not the one who's in violation of the deal the united states is we are now in violation of the peace accord that our country was supposed to be.

secretary of state my pump aoe today laid down the ultimatum signaling a new approach from washingtonafter it jettisoned the international nuclear deal with iran two weeks ago. the new u.s. secretary of state sent a clear signal to the middle east washington wants to use all means to limit iran's power in the region and weaken its economy the sting of sanctions will be painful for regime does not change its course for me unacceptable and i'm productive path that is chosen to one rejoin the league of nations these will indeed end up being the strongest sanctions in history when we are currently. the u.s. aims to completely isolate iran economically it's threatening to find european companies that continue doing business with tehran the secretary of state used his speech to up the pressure on washington's allies. any time centers are put in place countries have to give up economic activity but everyone's going to have to participate in this the u.s. has tough conditions for a new nuclear deal iran must completely stop all uranium enrichment the g twenty foreign minister's summit is embl

also heard surprisingly in this speech donald trump to say that the new secretary of state might pump aoe is on his way to north korea try and set the stage for a possible summit between the leader kim jong un and donald trump which would be a historic and unprecedented meeting before it's mean a sitting u.s. president and north korean leader and the question there is also how they would view the united states decision to withdraw from a previously agreed multilateral nuclear agreement countries around the world are going to be looking at this moment and seeing that the united states is not necessarily good for its words in two thousand and eighteen for an agreement that it signed back in two thousand and fifteen and it's going to be a question of whether this is going to affect efforts to achieve denuclearization on the korean peninsula all right so that a point there mr connor as you were just getting a report from iran that iran is now saying that it wants to keep the deal now that goes against everything that we've been hearing up until today. if this is the case does that then string

states out of the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal is not the first time we've seen a pump aoe in north korea he was in fact there even when he was the cia director in early april also in negotiating with with officials there ahead of a possible historic summit between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong un now he says he was there to set up a date and time for this meeting that could potentially take place between the two leaders it would be the first time that a sitting u.s. president has met with a north korean leader and we have found trump has just announced that details have been decided in terms of the location at least and that they will be announced in the next three days we don't know for sure where that will be other than that they said it will not be in the demilitarized zone. so the region between trump and kim jong will be about some sort of nuclear deal with wonders whether america's a part of. withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal might cast any sort of shadow over these tools. well that's certainly a concern is whether the united states can be

nation how proud they are of having secured their release through the new secretary of state might pump aoe during his surprise trip to pyongyang so it looks like a goodwill gesture from north korea and trump is very much making sure that he's receiving credit at home for the fact that he is really secure this release it should also be noted however that this is not uncommon we've had north korea released prisoners before particularly when a high ranking american official goes in person to north korea to try and petition for their release we have seen in the past the regime do this ok you know how did these three men one dog in the north korean jail well these are three korean americans they've spent all more than a year in north korean prison some doing hard labor and they have just been they would have been accused of anti-state activities by north korea which is widely seen as politically motivated charges now of course they seem to be benefiting from the somewhat warming ties between the u.s. and north korea and the fact that they were able to arrive alive and seemingly at first glance

united states topples regimes in the middle east but it appears to me that john bolton and mike pump aoe and donald trump haven't learned anything from our experience of the past fifteen years or so all right well thanks very much for your analysis we do appreciate it professor stephen walt joining us that from cambridge massachusetts. well the u.n. secretary general has called on the remaining parties in the iran nuclear deal to abide by their commitments despite the u.s. withdrawal the secretary general is deeply concerned by today's announcement that the united states will be withdrawing from the joint comprehensive plan of action and will begin reinstating u.s. sanctions the secretary general has consistently reiterated that the j c.p.o. way represents a major achievement in nuclear nonproliferation and diplomacy it has also contributed to regional and international peace and security it is essential that all concerns regarding the implementation of the plan be addressed through the mechanisms established in the j c p o a. l former us president barack obama has called at times decisi

didn't see him very much it was very much kind of a back you know kind of back room kind of guy bump aoeis clearly much more active much more extroverted you know so i think we're going to see him constantly he's going to be testifying he's going to be are going around the world speaking to the press the second thing which is also very important is he has a very positive relationship with the president so if you look at michael pump out today you think he's speaking for the president if you talk to rex tillerson you never knew if he spoke to the president if he spoke for the president there were major differences between them their personal relationship was not close as far as we can tell michael pompei a has a very good relationship with the president so that gives him a lot more clout people will give him more credibility more credence when they speak to him so it's a major difference and so when you when you talk about the relationship with john being being better do you see him as someone who would rain trump a new tool will we be influencing policy which is sort of going along with

secretary of state might pump aoe says that iran must drop its nuclear program and pull out of syria if it wanted to avoid being penalized by washington but in a tweet the iranian foreign minister accused the u.s. of conducting sham diplomacy and making mistakes of the past. it was u.s. secretary of state might pump a was flushed major speech and he used it to strike out vaziri pompei or warned iran to end it should rename enrichment and withdraw from yemen and syria are paying a heavy price these will indeed end up being the strongest things in history when we are complete the regime has been fighting all over the middle east for years after our sanctions come in force it will be battling to keep its economic economy alive and then while pumping spoke in washington the foreign ministers of several other g twenty countries maint and when desirous pump is absence was a disappointment for chairman foreign minister. he is pushing for an internationally coordinated solution. voyage this is without this deal there's a danger that iran will return to its nuclear weapons program something w

by the europeans in germany trying to sell that steve you are you run you close deal secretary pump aoe said today that the united states has it made its decision to leave the iran nuclear deal other nations who are part of the iran nuclear deal have to make their own decision but the united states has made ours today the secretary presented a very positive vision that was addressed to the iranian people that would give them a brighter future and would certainly help reduce the violence in the terrorism that iran is engaging in through its foreign wars around the middle east all right that was brian hooks there at the u.s. state department we want to go now from foreign policy to economic policy to do that i'm joined by my colleague from the business daniel winter daniel let's take a look at this assertion today from pompei where he says that u.s. economic sanctions will be the toughest ever imposed on iran is that true well there was a lot of fire and fury in his speech but they didn't know he didn't outline any specific new measures which would come into place so the plan is as might

secretary of state mike pump aoe and national security advisor john bolton the u.s. pulled out of the twenty fifteen accord as we mentioned a move which germany has called a threat to international security. in my opinion we are far away from a compromise. we are taking two completely different approaches the approach that germany has decided to take along with france and the u.k. that is the one we will continue to pursue in europe. german foreign minister on his first visit in position to washington while our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena has been following the german foreign minister's u.s. visit she sent us this report for a frank but constructive discussion with trump's national security advisor both. firm handshake with u.s. secretary of state but no joint statement no breakthrough german foreign minister came to washington to make clear that europe is united in supporting the existing deal with iraq and that it wants to work together with the u.s. however at the end of his visit he had to acknowledge that the transatlantic partners remain deeply

promising to bring a more direct approach to foreign policy during a close meeting the staff might pump aoe talk about bringing swagger back to the state department swagger is not arrogance it's not boastfulness it's not ego knows swagger is confidence in oneself in one's ideas in our case it's america's essential brightness and it is aggressiveness born of the righteous knowledge that our cause is just special and built upon america's core principles. but to discuss some of those statements we can now cross live to full when u.s. diplomat james thank you for joining us well that's how i see how it might be unbias been saying that he's been secretary of state for less than a month replacing rex tillerson and judging by what we've just heard what can we expect from him that. i don't think at this point we're really sure look as a former foreign service officer i can tell you this is the bureaucracy in washington most impervious to outside control that's why you have structure as a state like say henry kissinger who just ignore what they call the building and then other people like colin powe

behind in pyongyang at least according to the south korean media and people are hard at work and mr pump aoe is the guy that's been running this. formerly from his post as cia director but hopefully in a few days as secretary of state so i think i would agree the president deserves a lot of credit and certainly with a progressive government a lot of things are possible that weren't underpass can conservative regimes but i think we have to give president trump his do as well and i just i just hope things go ok it's a topsy topsy turvy world exactly and you know and i'm very happy that this process is going on let me go to daniel i don't care who gets the credit i think that is really low on the hierarchy a bit of an important see are getting peace on that peninsula where you have the most heavily armed border in the world after sixty eight years he considerable american military presence is there and the chinese have come in and in ways that i think we'll find out in the future they were very constructive here it's the result that counts most importantly go ahead daniel well. let me speak up

let me go back to you in pittsburgh donald trump claims and his cronies around him like mike pump aoe in john john bolton you know that iran was in violation the fact of the matter is that the united states now that is in violation of that internationally signed agreement minutes not pointed out enough in mainstream media what is the significance of the fact that iran will stay in the deal with the other signatories because right before we heard noises and and whispers that you know iran would pull out of it completely if it stays in it it really puts a lot of pressure on the united states. that is the odd man out in this so that it's really flipped over iran was always the odd guy out now it's the u.s. at least when it comes to global opinion go ahead in pittsburgh. bitterly right frankly united states did that to isolate iran but the consequence of it which also greatly depends on what you want will do in the coming weeks and coming months. what actually if you will isolate the united states here's what we have to keep in mind iraq made this sound and sound part of why this you part

destruction not scientific experts as north korea's had promised the secretary of state might pump aoe the white house so they're casting some doubt on whether that was just a show or really destruction but as far as political fallout i think that this does take off the table one of the really potentially dramatic and genuine foreign policy breakthroughs for president. he has spoken often and made no secret of the fact that he hopes to get the nobel peace prize for his diplomacy with north korea that seems to have gone by the wayside of course with the cancellation of the summit and with no a likelihood that it'll be rescheduled least in the near term and also kind of reinforces an impression that many people in the united states have the act impulsively and perhaps may reinforce the impression among some people that trump may not be the master negotiator that he sets himself out to be of course his base supporters will probably be happy and particularly cheer the more bellicose lines in his letter to. but the real political fallout would be of course if and this is a very unpleasant s

behind in pyongyang at least according to the south korean media and people are hard at work and mr pump aoe is the guy that's been running this. formerly from his post as cia director but hopefully in a few days as secretary of state so i think i would agree the president deserves a lot of credit and certainly with a progressive government a lot of things are possible that weren't underpass can conservative regimes but i think we have to give president trump his do as well and i just i just hope things go ok it's a topsy topsy turvy world exactly and you know and i'm very happy that this process is going on let me go to daniel i don't care who gets the credit i think that is really low on the hierarchy a bit of an important see are getting peace on that peninsula where you have the most heavily armed border in the world after sixty eight years he considerable american military presence is there and the chinese have come in and in ways that i think we'll find out in the future they were very constructive here it's the result that counts most importantly go ahead daniel well. let me speak up

within the deal even with top trump administrators including secretary of state mike pump aoe but not donald trump in the absence of a presidential meeting johnson penned an editorial in the new york times newspaper and has been appearing on multiple u.s. t.v. networks urging trump to remain in the agreement he will be tougher on iran but not throw away that the heart of the deal which is all about stopping them getting nuclear weapons the deal was negotiated in twenty fifty and under the administration of u.s. president barack obama and included other european countries as well as russia and china it's designed to contain iran's nuclear program for civilian use only. trouble was to get out of the deal unless it's fixed to address iran's missile program a tehran's other military activities in the region on monday on twitter he called the deal a mess and criticized the man who helped negotiate it former secretary of state john kerry along with the president trump advisor rudolph giuliani is also criticizing kerry and what they call his shattered diplomacy this follows media reports ker

he was terribly frustrated at the manner in the way he was handled and the way he was managed pump aoe is a hawk that sends a real message to north korea now north korea knows that there is somebody in the ear of the president that wants to take military action and i think that that plays into the hand of china and russia coming together and making a military alliance in a new founding between the two superpowers that was never there before i think there i think trumps got the globe nervous not only with the way he talks but the people that he. around him with movie that's just to make him the nice guy and compile of some of the people he's appointed he has a way of wiggling out of just about everything there's no question about that but he clearly has a hawkish fraternity around him right now and whether that is going to be good for the globe i'm not sure yet thinking about individual foreign relations. the potential trade war with china just positioning the rapprochement with putin which clearly doesn't go down well with many many forces in the thank you states and in particular dona

direct approach to foreign policy during a closed meeting with staff secretary of state might bump aoe talked about bringing swagger back to the state department. in our case it's america's essential brightness and it is aggressiveness born of the righteous knowledge that all cause is just special and built upon america's cool principles i don't think it is that's unique to mr pompei i think you have an ad to throughout the political class here in washington that's almost like a like a real recrudescence of the view of the soviet union we are the vanguard of all progressive humanity peace progress is socialism archy's peace progress and human rights and that we are right and everybody else takes their cue from us i think that kind of arrogance unfortunately is very standard this goes beyond in my opinion just simple patriotism love of country and even a sense that our values are something that are dear to us this seems to set up a kind of amounted to a limp this attitude that we set up on high and judge everybody else and unfortunately this has been all too familiar not surely just und

empire i still think that's a rant and i believe with the addition of bolton and pump aoe to high positions in u.s. diplomacy and intelligence that there is going to be some serious fireworks in the east because again that's where the key to maintaining u.s. imperial powers not in north korea there's no there's no giant oil reserves there but it's in the middle east so while it's great what's going on the korea and i hope it continues. the middle east is where i've always been worried and continue to be worried ok fair enough let's let. an animal a style. that they ran on board of michael bolton on a saturday as far as our military posturing in that area michael yes so since trump was elected you could tell he was going to totally go against all of his campaign promises based on who he who he hired to be around him all these banks there's sixteen with trump you have to watch it who he hires and so john bolton and mike from peo are two of the most lunatic neo conservative types you could possibly pick and and so that's a sign that something something is definitely a foot with iran and you kn

it to be compiled to do what the united states wants it to do well i think secretary of state pump aoe has said very clearly that they will face some of the most severe sanctions in history until they come clean on their nuclear weapons program they have had chance after chance you are not talking about some disagreement about a you know colonial border from fifty years ago we're talking about nuclear weapons we're talking about a country iran's which believes that it has a right to take over neighboring states in the middle east we have to rein in troops on the ground in lebanon in syria of course and in iraq we have a rainy ends involved in yemen we now have new information at the iranians are trying to get into the conflict in the western sahara they are spreading all over the middle east it is extremely dangerous. and part of what secretary pumpin spoke about is that iraq has to pull back from these regional conflicts i think then we can talk about moving to a much more secure and safe middle east a short while ago i had a chance to talk to the obama administration's official who w
