reagan didn't negotiate eastern europe. we had a vision of a europe united home free. if you look at the memorandum conversation between reagan and gorbachev -- reagan did not put eastern europe on the table. we had a vision and that was non-negotiable. how to avoid armageddon. i think eastern europe was something that reagan felt strongly, was not something we were going to find a compromise on. it wasn't. i mean we never ever had this happen in the first year or so. shocked,e thing to be surprised by the crumbling of the berlin wall. another thing to be shocked and surprised by the collapse of the soviet union, which happened in the early 90's during the bush administration. that allowed the geopolitical opportunity to create a europe whole and free, with the breakup union, collapse of the warsaw pact, reunification of germany. then it became not just arms control, it became a new geo-political reality in europe. lex i think we have time for one more for a yes, sir. reagan.entioned --t wondering, what the discussion there -- what if they had on the event question mar

but when it comes to agreement of things, how to go on with europe, you have to consider that eastern europe has a place that completely different game. northern europe, finland, the netherlands, all these countries have different interests. and they won't go under the will of germany and france. and as they did before. so if you look at the past, germany and france, stood for different groups of countries. france for the southern understanding of europe and how to go on. and germany for the northern. now you have eastern understanding. you have a completely different british understanding of things. so bringing all this together means to find something how to -- you have to develop a common understanding which must be on a lower basis than what we had before between germany and france. so that is the difference. and it is not enough to have macron in paris and probably macron in berlin. melinda: tony patterson, european leaders are meeting at this very moment as we speak. and later on, they are going to be hearing teresa may talk about her strategy for brexit. if we look back one year at th

who are the point of nato, you -- we're going to have sanctions because of your aggression in eastern europe and at the same time send that message to the iranians. with that, mr. chairman, i urge a very strong unanimous vote for this. this is something so bipartisan, so wonderful. it's a good day, it's a good bill. it gives us all hope. i urge our colleagues to vote aye. and call upon the speaker to bring the other bill to the floor. and i hope our distinguished chair and ranking member of the foreign affairs committee will be able to be part of bringing it to the floor very soon. thank you. i yield back.

president macron will meet all other sceptic countries like eastern europe tomorrow morning, so we willee how well he does convincing them. i think merkel macron are clear that they want to go on ahead with integration, the eurozone, defence and security, nobody will be excluded. i do not think it is a second time. two years ago, i was standing in the sun in athens, talking about the huge pressures on the eurozone and the greek economy because of its national debt. have those core problems been removed or are they just out those core problems been removed or are theyjust out of sight for the moment? definitely not removed. greece is a small country but 3% of gdp of the eu is greece. the bigger problem is italy. next autumn, it will be a huge problem. italy might come back as a huge problem and politically there will be elections and a 5—star movement could upset the political establishment. we will ta ke the political establishment. we will take a break from european the political establishment. we will take a breakfrom european politics but you are very welcome to keep those questions

[there is only one berlin.] [applause] behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of europe. from the baltic, south, those barriers cut across germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. but there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same -- still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. yet it is here in berlin where the wall emerges most clearly -- here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. standing before

the kremlin has done this before in eastern europe.here are a number of things they do, and one of them is to compromise people close to the government. some of that is very often by investing in them, and it seems to me that if we look at the president's taxes, we would probably see that there are russian oligarchs who have invested in the trump enterprises. his own son said this in 2008, --t this amount of money that it's a disproportionate amount of money they are getting from russia. this is something we should know. soledad: in your book, you write a lot about strategies about reaching across the aisle. >> finding common ground is really important, and then you hold your ground when you can't agree on something, but there are a whole bunch of issues that are not partisan>> issues. soledad: health care, it doesn't even sound like you guys are in the room. >> we aren't. mitch mcconnell has decided that 13 republicans are going to write this behind closed doors. i don't know if they will succeed. he said, it will be our plan to get t

other places it's where china is being aggressive in the south china sea or in eastern europe as you mentioned. in terms of an overall budget that is trying to defend american interests, and advance american values, i don't see how it makes sense in an increasingly difficult and contested world to unilaterally withdraw support from vital allies who have chosen us and our values and our side in a contest of ideas with russia, china and others. let me mention two other things before i run out of time. as has been mentioned by others, we have people to people projects that elevate the reputation we enjoy in the world. africa is a very young continent, very large continent. i thought it was, again, not the choice i would have made to cut all the educational and cultural exchange programs in half. and this would be one of them. i hope you'll reconsider that. i think these are powerful programs that connect us to parts of the world where we benefit from a positive relationship and from as you said, the next generation of leaders. power africa is something we as a bipartisan basis authorize

not a bilateral discussion i have with any government anywhere in the world, whether it is in eastern europe, southeast asia or central and south america that we do not talk about their relationship with north korea and asking them to examine all of those ties. and even when they say, oh, we only have $5 million worth of business i say make it 2. so we are at least at this stage making clear to people around the world and governments what the u.s. policy and position is. the report that you cite which i have not had an opportunity to review in detail but i am familiar with it, i think it docile straight just how sophisticated and complex getting at north korea's sources of revenue are. that's why we are also working with china and russia to put pressure more on how commodities are delivered into north korea because that is very visible. the intricate financial networks they have established around the world are challenging but they're not impossible to address. so we are working closely with the treasury department where we can substantiate, because we don't want to take inadvertent action a
