this is the first meeting that donald trump has had in person with a foreign head of state. and of course this is significant because donald trump is ramping up his preparations to actually take over the duties of president of the united states. just this week he had his first presidential daily briefing which he has begun to receive now preparing him for the challenges ahead as president. and of course while he met with prime minister abe he has been meeting -- speaking of the phone rather with about 32 foreign heads of state. prime minister abe declined to offer details on what exactly was discussed in this meeting. but what he did say was it was a, quote, very candid discussion. and e got the sense he'll be able to establish a relationship of trust with donald trump as president of the united states. saying that of course is the bedrock of any alliance between the two countries, a very important alliance and all on the heels of donald trump during his campaign frequently criticizing japan saying they need to take on a bigger share of the burden for their defense costs. so

donald trump promised. and on which he was elected. john bolton, for example, a friend of ours, a person whose intellect i respect is hardly the let's pull back from our involvement in europe, let's soften our relationship with russia that donald trump said he was going to give us. john would be the opposite of that. >> sure. obviously, foreign policy and directives come from the president and the person follows that. you are right on the individual feelings of these various issues. i want to put up david axelroaxs tweet. a former adviser to president obama and his campaign before that. >> one thing to consider with this trump transition is that first of all, the trump campaign didn't necessarily expect to win. so this provides more of a pressure point in choosing these next folks. the other point is that he ran as an outsider. he ran as a businessman. he ran as someone who will clean up kind of the traditional ways of doing things. so that requires a different kind of vetting process, i think, for some of these folks. to the judge's point, he made promises on foreign policy, tax policy
