in the east of course the soviet zone, and berlin itself which was an outpost in eastern europe was also divided in to four sections the purpose of these deliberations was to find some way to achieve a peace treaty with the germany, we unify the country and the occupation. there was one narrow issue that divided the united states and the soviet union deeply, , that was the issue of reparations. soviet leader joseph stalin was demanding $10 $10 billion in reparation from western germany, a little over $100 billion in today's money. the united states, however, was spending enormous sums to keep western germany alive. it was really the syndicate to disorder and chaos but the united states said this is impossible because we would effectively be financing those reparations because western germany is not even close to self-sustaining. we had effectively done that after world war i and we were not going to repeat that. but it was a much deeper, more fundamental conflict between the united states and the soviet union when they came to germany, and that is that neither the united states nor the s

looking to reassert russian dominance in eastern europe. we know he is looking to get relief from financial sanctions. and lock in russian gains from key theaters of conflict. thwart u.s. plans elsewhere specifically in iran. cheryl: i think crimea is off the table from a u.s. perspective. i know there is disagreement on syria. i can't see president trump backing down on those two issues. the sanctions, john that is the big thing, 200 companies all under u.s. sanctions. that is economic hit to vladmir putin. if anything he would like to come out of the summit with news on that. do you think the president would be willing to give anything on sanctions?

he wants eastern europe and control eastern europe as strategic buffer. ey still look at western europe the way we do. they look at germany as potential threat once again they have had to deal with them twice before. that reality is born out of the fact they see nationalism coming back, white supremacism coming back the return to pollution of naziism, so yes. trish: are any of these fears well-founded? do they have reason to actually fear europe or is this just politically expedient for vladmir putin? >> i think there is it no reason for them to fear western europe but it is irrelevant because they have historical concerns. they resent the nato alliance. they resent all those buffer countries, trish, are now in nato. they want to break that alliance, initially to weaken it, and then eventually to break it. so what the president is doing by strengthening the alliance, making certain that this burden-sharing, making certain that the significant capital investment is a big step. trish: that's an interesting caulkerrization in terms of how you put it. in other

anyone who lived in eastern europe knows that our former president roosevelt handed over eastern europe to stalin who murdered millions of people. i don't think it's unusual for us the meet, united states presidents to meet with foreign adversaries. i think it's important that he start the dialogue. we need to talk about real issues like iran and syria and the aggression that russia has engaged in. i think the president said we know the russians are meddling in our elections. whether or not it really made a difference in the outcome, we don't know. we want to make sure we're working on that and to make sure it doesn't happen again. you could count. it's sort of interesting that so mu much is being made of this. the news cycle in a couple of days will be talk about something else. >> did the president go far enough yesterday in clarifying his comments? >> yeah. hou how much more can he say? we're in the beginning of discussions. we're just getting through this. i think there's plenty other occasions and times when he can get together and put more pressure on putin. it's really important

throughout eastern europe, elections were held. but the russians had placed the communists in key government positions and in the secret police. within a short time, the non-communist leaders had been liquidated. russia had swallowed up eight european countries without firing another shot other than those of the execution squads. great britain and the united states protested that these countries had ben: worst -- had ced by force and russia had broken her treaty. russia ignored the protest. stalin knew the greater part of the allied forces had gone home, leaving their arms to rest in the field of europe. in the west, men were impatient to be demobilized. the war was finished and they had other work to do. the russians had not demobilized. they retained overwhelmingly the largest force in europe. the small group of men in the kremlin long ago dedicated themselves to the spreading of communism by all possible means. they knew an army could be used not only to fight wars. it can be used to intimidate. to the south, lay two more possib

to putin in certain aspects of security issues so what about nato expansion for example into eastern europe what are the concerns there that european leaders have over what donald trump might do or say well if you makes concessions for example with respect to the intervention off russia and ukraine this is certainly a signal all to the countries want to join nato all who are under the protection of nato and these are the issues europeans want him to discuss but they don't want to compromise instead they want to see clear signals when it comes to nonproliferation often ok and what that weapons fact would be and i outcome the europeans which you know appreciate and of course to find a solution or two to somehow get russia to to be more constructive with respect to conflicts like the conflict in syria where russia placed an important role well the nato summit certainly made clear that what we have seen from the trumpet ministration is a lot of mixed messages how. more e.u. leaders really dealing with that this is an important alliance for the keep a straight face and they tried to first of all

if you start with the ukraine they're our friend in eastern europe.utin rolling through crimea moving into eastern europe and barack obama sat on the sidelines. those countries by the way they didn't say give us boots on the ground. they said can you just sell us arms so we can pushback against the russians aggression and bomb their tanks, and obama said no president trump said yes and actually sold them those missile s so they can defend their country and push russia out of eastern europe and that's happening right now. he kicked out diplomats increased sanctions against russia. that's standing up to russia. we need to keep reminding russia they're not our friend and get out of syria, stop allying with some of these rogue countries. maria: kevin brady was on this program last week the chairman of the house ways and means committee he will try to get a vote on tax cuts 2.0 to the floor in september. do you think he'll need democratic support here? is anybody going to vote for tax cuts 2.0 when they're complaining about deficits and they didn't vote fo

we have seen it in elections in eastern europe as well. they are very good at this. it speaks to the experience of the entire apparatus. that's why we all are concerned or ought to be concerned about our president sitting down with the mastermind of this entire psychological apparatus. we ought to be very concerned about that. >> it is unconventional, to say the least, that we don't know what the agenda is going into this meeting. the president sat down with cbs news and talked a bit about his expectations going into that meeting. he set them at pretty low. maybe something will come out of it. you have been in high-level meetings with other world leaders. how astonishing is that? what are the risks of going into a meeting without defined goals? >> it's absolutely shocking. i have sat in summits both in the pacific, in europe, in latin america, the caribbean with our president. i have never seen a president of the united states go into a summit meeting without significant backup. and we have good people around the president. our ambassador in moscow, jon huntsman, exp

one place where they are especially aggressive is in central and eastern europe. our first priority here is to check russian aggression. in recent years, a gremlin has attempted to forcefully redraw borders, intimidated and attack neighbors, launch information and cyber campaigns against the west and engaged in military buildups on the western frontiers. . . . >> since january 2017 we brought sanctions against russian individuals and entities. in response to the attack the united kingdom we helped organize the largest expulsion of russian spies in history was that more than a hundred 50 spies back to russia. the partnership for your leading the u.s. government's effort to counter this information. we demand the russian government uphold its commitment allows citizens to exercise their freedoms without fear of retribution. the parallel, were building the means of self-defense where the frontier states most directly threatened. we've lifted the previous restrictions and help the states improve. simultaneously, were striving to keep ukraine on the path of reform. by

in europe that are very worried by what they saw i can't think that there are many leaders in eastern europe in the baltics or poland certainly the leaders of ukraine's leaders here in germany france italy any one's going to be happy with what they heard from donald trump you could see that perhaps some countries do not wish the united states well are pleased by what they saw china for example the more that the united states is mired in this political scandal and wrapped around the axle of of donald trump the better for china so it's hard to see what good has been done in this press conference and this need to metohija very luminous in that show from the german marshall fund of the united states that are. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world and a further sign of thawing relations between the two neighbors eritrea has reopened its embassy in ethiopia if your prime minister. that every trance president. attended the rio the ceremony in the south of them the move comes a way to have to be leaders declared an end to two decades of conflict. former u.s.

the other is focused on the security issue in eastern europe. it's a crucial issue for some eastern european allies given russia's growing influence in the region. its 2014 invasion of ukraine. the white house tells us the president will have four quick pull-aside, four quick meetings with the leaders of azerbaijan, romania and georgia. the summit got off to a raucous start. the president accusing u.s. allies, accusing nato member nations of being delinquent. of not pulling their fair share, not pulling their weight. not spending enough on their own defense. also accusing some of those same nations of trade abuses, the president floating a proposal for member nations to increase their military budgets from 2% gdp, 12% of their total economic output to 4% and the president as you mentioned is tweeting about it. here's what he writes. presidents have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get germany and other rich nato nations to pay more toward their protection from russia. they pay only a fraction of their cost. the u.s. pays tens of billions o

their threats against the baltic nations and against other countries in the balkans and eastern europeeal threats from russia. we saw what they did in our own elections, what they tried to do to interrupt the elections in france, in germany and with brexit. so russia is a real threat. nato is one of those alliances that stands against russia. and we need to be very clear that we support nato. that we want to make sure that resources are there and i appreciate what president trump has done to remind the nato countries that they need to comply with their 2% requirement. they're working on that. they need to continue to work on that. >> he said they should be paying up immediately is how they put it. not wait until 2024. do you think he's right for hammering home on this? >> well, again, there was an agreement that was reached among the nato countries. everybody agreed to that. they are continuing to ramp up their defense spending, and i think that's appropriate. they are continuing to provide troops, as we're looking at our joint defenses across the baltics and eastern europe in poland.

they were actively trying to interfere in elections in eastern europe, and some of the former soviets. this was nothing new at all, and what i am most upset about inis this whole situation, many a things, but when you go back ton that time period, is how they were able to ignore the warnings that we were sending from the house intelligence committee, and lo and behold, afternd they lost the election, they first tried to blame fake news, when that didn't work, they switched into this whole concept of russia. >> sean: this is a big point, if there was any collusion, you would've known about it at the time. if anything had come up between now and then, you would've seen that as you have seen almost everything. so the question is, why is the witch hunt going on? and how do you look at the mueller indictments of those 12 russians that are the equivalent of our cia operatives, they are never coming to america, there will never be a trial, mueller indicted these bot companies thinking they would never respond, now he is asking the judge in that case if they could literally not turn over any

germany, other countries, in eastern europe in the countries of latvia, lithuania, estonia making sures that e cannot, cannot continue to act as they did in uukraine. quickly, the u.s. standing within the nato organization. do you feel damage has been done? >> absolutely there's been damage. everybody is trying to paper over a very serious breach that the president created. good that they're papering it over. we've got to move forward. got to stay close to nato. got to be with the european union, all of whom the president has attacked after attacking and then says, oh, everything's fine. we've got to work very, very hard to make sure that everything is fine. that we have strong allies in europe and as well in asia. >> representative john garamendi, so good to see you. up close and personal. thank you so much. >>> coming up next, what potential legal trouble roger stone is facing and whether any of it leads back to the white house. that's next. the lexus performance line is tested the equivalent of up to 24 laps around the world. experience an unrivaled feel for any road, at the lexus g

rebuilding our military and taking a more active posture with other nato allies in eastern europe withse continues troop movements we've got there to join them in exercises. we just increased the lethality of our armored vehicle there's in response to the russian threat. so the actions speak louder than the words, i hope. i think that's what is interesting about this. both are necessary. if you don't have strong words, then not only do the russians wonder, but our allies wonder. they were listening intently yesterday. >> neil: so just to be clear, on the record here, the president says he misspoke. a lot of people said he just saw the reaction and decided to tip it, whatever. what do you think? >> you know, i'd let the white house answer that question. i take him at his word and glad he clarified. >> neil: thanks, senator. >> thank you. >> neil: so what was it like in that room? the president was meeting with few people when he made this announcement. i want you to meet someone that was there after this. liberty mutual accident forgiveness means they won't hike your rates over one mist

europe. particularly in eastern european. this is an issue of survival. thanks very much. i'm going to check back. cal perry in the crowd. in this massive, massive protest in the streets of london. >>> on the right side of your screen you're looking at windsor. this is the president is on the helicopter on his way to greet the queen. we are going to keep a tight eye on that as soon as we see that helicopter, we are going to hone in on it for you and tell you what's going on. during a news conference with our closest international lie, president trump fielded more than a few questions about the country that many see as our chief adversary, russia. after spending the week alternately attacking and praising our allies, the president struck a more optimistic note about vladimir putin. he took the time to blame president obama for the annexation of crimea. joining me now is former senior adviser in europe. evelyn, i want to just get to the issue of why these eastern european countries are so interested in nato but really, ukraine is the reason. that is the illustration of what
