secretary conference this week, mike pompeo gave his estimate about where the state of the north atlantic allianceis part of what he had to say. that theto report death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated. the west is winning. we are collectively winning. david: are we collectively winning, mr. ambassador? thomas: i think that is obviously something of an exaggeration when we have watched carefully the major pressure by the united states on the nato alliance, to raise its contributions to defense, but in ways that have not been seen before. obviously, we see some disintegration in what i would to, inliance willingness and, bear a heavy burden carry forward in every conflicted area, that we could rely on more for. my sense is we have seen a number of people wanting, in one way or another, to put the alliance back together again in a more serious way. i hope that is allowed to happen. secretary pompeo is obviously entitled to his own view. i suppose in the words that were echoed in the past by senator moynahan years ago, everyone is entitled to their own view but not their own

secretary saying, you better do what we say on china or else, you know, we're not sure if the trans-atlantic alliance will continue. we had nancy pelosi saying, actually the house of representatives still respects the alliance and still respects its partners. in other words, the mess in washington does transmit itself to the outside world and, you know, it creates the impression of democratic disarray. and that in turn has echoes in other countries. you know, look, the world has long looked up to the united states as a model of democracy and a beacon of democracy. and, you know, if it's in trouble there, then it's in trouble everywhere. >> anne, thank you so much. phillip and joan, please stick around. quick break on "reliable sources" and much more news coming up. hope hicks leaving her job at fox corp. to come back to the white house. i wanted more from my copd medicine that's why i've got the power of 1, 2, 3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved once-daily 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy ♪ the power of 1,2,3 ♪ trelegy ♪ 1,2,3 ♪ trelegy man: with trelegy and the power of 1, 2, 3, i'm brea

know, when you look at the way that europe is already concerned about the strength of the trans-atlantic allianceefense of europe, what it means for the economy of europe, the real concern is that if donald trump stays in power then those concerns now become real realities that have to be dealt with and europe has to make a course correction that it cannot rely on the united states in the way it has in the past economically or in terms of security. we're not there yet, particularly on the economy of course. but in terms of security, that is something that is getting discussion in european capitals. so you know, when european leaders and other leaders look at what happened in the iowa caucuses, yes, that sort of shambolic start, if you will, to the campaign process, the election process for democrats, is a concern. when they listen to visiting politicians from the united states and i've listened to some here in london talking at think tanks. the narrative there is that even they democrats are expecting trump for another four years. so this -- it resonates here and it resonates in a very serious wa

the atlantic alliance ain't in great shape.greed obviously about iran, we -- the u.s., you know, views -- rather the president's views towards putin. what's emerged recently is china. the secretary of defense was in munich this last week and he basically said this is going to be a defining issue. richard grenell, our ambassador to germany, who is close to trump, basically said if you go ahead, anyone in europe, with 5g from china, we are going to stop sharing intelligence with you. this didn't work with boris johnson. he basically told the president to take a hike and johnson's trip to washington has been indefinitely postponed. there's a fundamental split where the united states wants to isolate china, europe does not. again, it's a sign that united states and europe increasingly see the world in different ways and when the europeans look at us, they increasingly see us as unreliable and look at what's going on inside this country and they go, that's not the united states we thought we knew. this transatlantic drift is deep an
