( laughter ) >> trevor: are you kidding me in so putin offered to help investigate his own crime? ( laughter ) and president out of the deal says, what an incredible offer! like, how is this real life? either putin has something on trump, which is why he's doing whatever he wants, he trump is just an idiot who got played and, honestly, i don't know, what did we expect? this is what you get when you put a k.g.b. agents up against a kfc agent. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) so what do you guys want? pistachio. chocolate

the european union, japan, america, they came together to form a trilateral to do that.would like this fact to be something he thought is not the is that the issue america will impose the tariffs on china and this is a very small number that we should put into perspective. this is an aggressive tactic and not a trade war. not ais aggressive, but trade war. >> why should other industries ,ork to take on china on trade rather than suggesting that they get real on china? the europeant done deal and the trade is thisgh those purposes and is -- when china joined, it was $1 million and it is now 12. povertys eliminated during that time. they are increasing because of the access. the issue is that they do not take the same market economy status as the western countries. the european union is very much in favor of a lot of the reforms that the americans want and they are doing it behind the door. >> what could be offered on this as a result of the current trade move themhat would away, in terms of rhetoric? >> there has to be a dialogue and this is a major part to step in. they

ladies and gentlemen, when you talk about the trade imbalance between the european union anti-united states of america, we have to remember that we supposed large portion of europe is based on the premise that we only looking at the exchange of goods. whereas services are not at all included in taking into account services, including digital, a completely different picture and different trade balance emerges and shows a trade surplus for the u.s. and europe. one has to say that clearly. -- ally quite old-fashioned ladies and gentlemen, our government has not been in office for a little over 100 days and we have achieved quite a few things already. not only that we have a budget in place for the another 2018. we have labor markets that make us hopeful. the unemployment rate of june the lowest since german reunification, ladies and gentlemen. many have actual full employment. the very important thing is many people have worked, but also the fact that we have a development of wages. show and crease in the minimum wage. that means that you can say the minimum wage will increase. they'll find a way of func

. >> so asked for a list of foes, president trump mentioned the european union first and european -- he tweeted america and the eu are best friends. whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news. >> you know, this fake news business is really taking on a whole life of its own. to that point, the helsinki newspaper has taken out massive ads saying welcome to the home of real news, mr. president. might as well say that to president putin, as well. during that interview with cbs on sunday, president trump also said that russia was a foe in certain aspects. joining me now to discuss russia's diplomatic agenda is sir andrew wood. he is the former uk ambassador to russia and joining us live from london. sir, can you tell us from your perspective, given the nato summit that just happened, the infamous or should i say famous trump visit to the united kingdom and his conversation with the prime minister, what do you expect from this meeting? what is the best and worst that could happen here? >> well, i think it does show you can't be fully prepared for whatever is said next. the other thing to think about is

boxed her ears as well you might say and then he came out and declared that the european union is there one of the america's leading foes that it is a foe that is an enemy of the americans this is all very bad news indeed for the europeans especially given that the house to be a question mark about whether one flood to move putin and donald trump are behind closed doors as they surely are now whether they're not going to share an antipathy towards the european union and their determination to push a strategy that will weaken and break up the european union i think that is a very real prospect that that kind of strategy could be adopted by these two leaders informally today and in the longer run in a more firm sense so as i say that would be a very worrying prospect indeed for european leaders and that you know that's what we've heard the comments that we've heard from donald tusk for example but i hear them all the time now in germany where i'm based for torture vella journalist an ordinary people very great concern in europe these days especially peter coming into this meeting as donald trump in an intervi

. >>> president trump threatening european cars at made in america event yesterday. >> the european union has been very tough on the united states, but they are coming in to see me on wednesday. we'll see if we can work something out. otherwise we have to do something with respect to the millions of cars they send every year. >> he meets with eu leaders tomorrow. eu leaders failed to stopimport. automakers around the world criticized tariffs. every car sold in the u.s. uses imported parts. that means higher costs or raise prices. they say a car with imported states would cost $2,000 more. the eu vows to strike back at tariffs on bourbon and motorcycles. that caused harley to shift production overseas. it could hurt harley bottom line. earnings reports are expected this morning. >> u.s. cars are imported cars because of how much they use from mexico in particular. >> all of the global supply chain for the cars over the 25 years is sprawling. you look at the german automakers. they export cars made in the united states. exported out. >> massive. >> not so simple. >> it is not. >>> the presi

european union a foe. here he is cozying up to vladimir putin, awarding him this high -- high stakes summit with all of the pomp and circumstance of it and calling the european union one of america'snd closest allies, a foe. so with that kind of rhetoric that is so -- so damaging to american foreign policy and the world stage, jeremy bash, you have been talking about how he is reordering 70 years of american institutions, multi-lateral institutions, the world trade organization, the eu, the g7 now as well, in all of these summit hes hae be is t important of all, a face-to-face with vladimir putin, a one-on-one. >> we have had four summits and in each of those if you zoom back the lens and brought out what the month has brought us, it is an embrace of dig take torual regimes, auto krats, people donald trump likes to stand next to because perhaps it burn issues his tough-guy image, hey, i'm talking to tough guys in the world. but more lastingly in the american policy making is the tearing apart of traditional alliances, the trading alliances of the g7 and the political alliance of nato which is meant to deter russian aggressions. you go from the nato summit directly to a meeting wit

there is a relationship and a status of european union's relationship with america that would please trump or is the end goal the complaining in and of itself? you've had situations where trump has declared victory with north korea, declaring that problem over even though it isn't over. is there a point where you can imagine trump does the same thing where he's satisfied with whatever sort of resolution of these issues is? if for instance they all of a sudden up the ante in terms of their contribution making that 2%, he says he wants it to happen immediately, probably impossible for that to happen for all sorts of reasons, if that happened, would all of a sudden he's like well should it be 4%? should it be 5%? that's the question. so much of trumpism is complaining about america and how it's been treated and all of the leaders that have come before him have been taken advantage of and as a result americans have been taken advantage of. if you take that piece out of trumpism, what's left? >> again, we're looking at live pictures from brussels, these are the nato leaders at their annua

ladies and gentlemen, when you look at the trace balance between the european union and the united states of america, you have to remember that it's based on were only looking at the exchange of goods, where services are not included when taken in count services including digital service a different picture emerges. one has to think that clearly. actually is quite old-fashioned to only look at the goods and not services. ladies and gentlemen, our government has now been -- over hundred days. we have achieve quite -- not only have we increase, we have labor markets, the unemployment rate is the lowest. many of our agents have full employment and during the past the important thing is that people have worked and we have a better development of wages. that means that we can consider the minimum wage will increase and the commission by the ways functioning without any discord. to take her 21 million but for the time in a row that makes an enormous difference in the quality of life especially for older people, it actually means more money in their wallet. we also decided to protect -- and we have these c

ladies and gentlemen, when we're talking about the trade balance between the european union at the united states of america, we the trademember that in europe is always based on the premise we are looking at the exchange of goods. services are not taken into account, including digital services. it paints a completely different picture of trade balance. really,to say that, communications is really a quite old-fashioned element of services altogether. been inrnment has now effect for over 100 days. we have achieved quite an array. not only do we have a budget in place but we have labor markets that make is hopeful. the unemployment rate of 5% in june is the lowest in the german unification, ladies and gentlemen. many regions have actual full employment. during the past few years, the really important thing is not as many people at work, but also has left the effect that we have a development of wages and this shows in the increase of the minimum wage. therefore, we can consent to the minimum wage will increase. it has been functioning without any fractures or discord. we will be able to pay our debt. signifi

european union. this is why we agreed today, fi >>eporter: it's a starange from his stance a week ago on some of america's closest allies telling cbs -- >> i think the european union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. >> reporter: president trump imposed massive tariffs on steel and aluminum on china, canada, mexico and europe. those countries hit back hard retaliating with tough tariffs of their own on an array of american products. >> this is not unexpected at all. this is what he campaigned on, and this is what he's talked about as being president that he's going to disrupt trade, but now it's hitting close to home. the reality is here. >> reporter: a critical portion of the president's base has been hit the hardest, farmers. in iowa, some farmers are facing a nearly 20% drop in the price of their soybean harvest and a more than 15% drop in the price of corn. president trump now promising farmers a $12 billion bailout to curb the impacts of his trade war. >> as farmers i can tell you we, merom the market, and 's >> reporter: and american consumers are still feeling the impacts. coca-cola announced

european union. we know that president trump not only supported that, but he supports some kind of dissolving of the european union in the name of america first trade. the reality is on the ground for countries like georgia that fought wars with russia in the last decade. this is terrifying. what you are seeing is terrifying. >> you had that when it comes to washington leaders. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi saying this is embarrassing behavior and more loyalty tow putin than nato allies. then hearing for john kerry saying he never has seen any president saying anything strange in making allies foes and foes allies. with teresa may and england as well after meeting with angela merkel and now the face-to-face with vladimir putin. jonathan? >> may is interesting and a by product of the brexis movement and sentiment towards populism. she didn't do it in as aggressive of a way as the conservatives in her party wanted them to do and they were closely aligned with president trump. people will be listening closely for if he offers words of support for may who could face a no confidence vote in the next couple of weeks. if he doesn't say someth

he could be trying to tear apart the european union and all of america's most important international alliances. yes, he can continue to do his best to attack and weaken american law enforcement and american intelligence. among other things, russia can keep running what ever operations they want to keep running over here. we've been watching all these things russia wants this president has been working diligently to get done. another thing he could start doing is handing over to putin americans who putin wants dead. the president, the white house says as of today the president is meeting with his team about that. talking it over, thinking about it. we will have the man in question, master michael mcfaul to respond in just a moment tonight. >>> today in washington, there was one expected but rather ominous development in one of the criminal cases brought in the russia scandal. in another case there were a few surprises, starting with the expected but ominous category that was this order today from the federal judge in d.c. hearing one of the two felony cases that concerns paul manafort

donald trump's continued attacks of nato, donald trump's continued attacks of the european union, when asked who america'sef foe was, he brought up the european union first. that must be music to vladimir putin's ears as one commentator, push opinion leader in russia said on russian television last week that's something that even the soviets weren't able to achieve but now they've achieved it through donald trump. >> yeah, joe. just really disappointing. the eu is not our foe. that's ridiculous. most of that country of nato are also in the european union. they are our allies and partners. number two, the president also tweeted that america is at fault, blame america first for the tensions in u.s.-russia relations. not mentioning the fact that russia annexed territory in crimea and sparked a war, 10,000 people have died in eastern ukraine. not mentioning he support this brutal dictator in syria where half a million people died. and not mentioning the fact he violated our sovereignty in 2016. so that's why there's tensions in u.s.-russia relations. for president trump to just insinuate as he just did, well

european union. that's more than america sends the other way in exports. those exports are still critical to american businesses and communities coast to coast. as retaliatory tariffs are raised in the eu and elsewhere as they charge more for those u.s. goods you come into their market, the darker states on this map are where people are feeling it the most because they make a lot of stuff for export. two of the hardest hit, california, way over here, and tennessee right here. california, of course, is a huge economy and would have some hand in pretty much many of the 160 or so products targeted by european tariffs. look at the top three items here and you can see why tennessee is feeling the heat. whiskey. sales of u.s. whiskey have been booming overseas. a lot from tennessee and neighboring kentucky. when tariffs make it more expensive, that poses a real threat to the growing market. the map of affected states looks a little different when you talk about retaliatory tariffs from china. agriculture is a big part of this equation. louisiana, for example, ha

america the enemy of the people, borrowing the stalinist phrase. that even the soviets refused to use after josef stalin died. you had the president of the united states attacking the european unionerica's chief foe. you had the president of the united states attacking the prime minister of great britain, our special relationship there. you had the president of the united states attacking, our democratic alliances across the world. and there yesterday we heard in return the former kgb agent saying, yes, of course i wanted donald trump to be elected president of the united states. that's all happened, by the way, in less than a week. >> it's been quite a week, joe. i mean, the president's trip through europe, i mean, dismantling and disrupting alliances that have been established for 70 to 75 years, helping ensure peace and prosperity in europe and throughout the world, actually, and then topped off by yesterday's performance, standing alongside vladimir putin and the president acting as if he were there for his quarterly review from his boss, mr. putin. but one of the things that occurred yesterday, and we just spoke to it briefly, but you asked another question, jonathan, of vla

assessments of america's allies: i think we have a lot of foes. assessments of america's allies: i think the european unions in trade. now, you wouldn't think of the european union, but they're a foe. of the european union, russia's a foe in certain respects. of the european union, we'll be looking ahead to the likely tone of the meeting with president putin. to the likely tone also tonight: to the likely tone if allez les bleus! —— allez les bleus! triumph for france as a 11—2 defeat of croatia in moscow sees them become football champions of the world. back home — a nation celebrates — champions of the world. as france claims the trophy for a second time. here, theresa may defends her brexit white paper after a turbulent week — and reveals president trump's advice: and reveals president he told me i should sue the eu. and reveals president sue the eu? and reveals president sue the eu. and reveals president not go into negotiations — sue them! and reveals president and at wimbledon a fourth men's singles title for novak djokovic. a fourth men's singles good evening. president trump has arrived in the finn

. >> alcindor: and yay calling the european union a "foe" of america. after all that, today was what mr. trump said could be "the easy part." he said he was trying to improve relations between historic adversaries. >> i would rather take a tical risk in pursuit of peace than to risk peace in pursuit of politics. >> woodruff: we willn to yamiche shortly, but first, fallout from the president's press conference came swiftly today, as washinon reacted to the historic meeting. before the press conference with the russian presidt in finland had even ended, politicians in both parties were condemning president trump's words. some were predictably hae h, like senatnority leader chuck schumer. >> what the president did is side with our nuer one enemy who is attacking the u.s. daily and kneecapping our allies and is just appalling and demands an explanation. >> woodruff: the former c.i.a. director under president obama, john brennan, tweeted the president's remarks were "nothing short of treasonous." but there were unusually strong owords from president truwn pa

european union. remember, proposed and signing on the dotted line are very different things. what we have to focus on is what we don't know. first e america and the european union are at something of a stalema stalemate. both groups holding off on future tariffs. in exchange for the truce, the european union has agreed to increase imports of u.s.-grown soy bean that is could do a lot to help embattled red state farmers hurt by the trade war. and there is no word yet on how that's going to impact the president's plan to bail out the agriculture industry. well europe said they will potentially purchase more lick fied gas. united states is expected to nearly triple the export quotas by 2020 mostly through the use of fracking. capacity of the eu to import more is expected to expand. but we should know this. yesterday was simply an agreement to begin talking about reconciliation. my question is reconciliation from what? president trump created this. president trump called europe our number one foe a week ago. now, the president has taken his bazooka down and the european union has done the same. but toe say that we are in a better position tha

european banking stage. christian sewing joins matt miller. juliette saly with the first word news. juliette: this president donald for the e.u. in america to remove terrorist between each other, tweeting the european unions coming to washington to negotiate a deal on trade. them, dropdea for all tariffs, barriers and subsidies. hope they do it. we are ready, but they won't. that comes ahead of a meeting later with jean-claude juncker. will simply discuss possible solutions. >> they sound nice, but they are rough. they are all coming in to see me tomorrow. they are all coming to washington. to change, iant said good, we are going to tara millions of cars. u.s. carmakers announced second-quarter earnings. meanwhile donald trump has tempered his red toward iran, two days after he sent an all caps warning of future conflict, addressing the national convention of veterans of foreign wars, the u.s. president to credit for pulling america out of the iran nuclear accord but says he stands ready to come back to the negotiating table. theresa may is taking control over brexit negotiations in a move that reinforces her drive to keep close to the european union. the decision sidelines a troublesome ministry she cre

they are peter westmacott, uk ambassador to the united states and anthony gardner, america's ambassador to the european union. gentlemen, welcome to to the program. a lot to digest. just one you think you have one trail of news, another one comes. just when you think you know the way and direction there's whiplash. so what do you make of the indictments in washington regarding the mueller investigation and accusing members of the gru, military officials in russia of hacking into the democratic national convention and their computers during the election? what do you make of it, peter westmacott? >> i think this is the next stage of an investigation that we've known about for a long time. the mueller investigation has been thorough, very well staffed, it hasn't leaked and each time there's something that comes out of that investigation it is very serious and carefully explained and calibrated. of course the people they have indicted are not living in the united states but what this does is firmly make the point the russians were interfere in the united states presidential election and with the campaign of one

he thought the european union had been set up to humiliate america and that is at the heart of what he is propagating. it is important to note that europeans in a strange way are being united. europeans are staring in disbelief but recognizing they have to take more matters into their own happens. you are going to see a great unity. >> churchill said that john foster, our foreign minister is a bull that carried his china shop around with him. do you think that president trump has a brain soup problem. he has to pick fights. it seems to me he just wanted to be seen on television fighting. >> certainly there is the pugilism of american politics is understood across europe. what people can't understand is that he is picking a fight less with the general of nato and more about mrs. merkel. rather tartly rebuked the president this afternoon in pointing out she knew what it meantime to be free of soviet domination. germany has taken a tougher line with the russians. and we are living at a time, this is the week when germ warfare has been used on british streets. a time where we know there ha

european union, but they're a foe. russia is a foe in certain respects. china is a foe economically. >> european union president donald tusk fired right back, saying america and the eu are best friends. whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news. joining me now with a look ahead to this meeting, cnn senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny. jeff, there's certainly been a lot of political chaos leading up to this meeting. what are you expecting? >> anderson, there has been. the president has said repeatedly he does plan to bring up election meddling, but that's really not the question looming over the summit here in helsinki. it is whether he's going to confront vladimir putin about the election meddling, and it's whether he's going to ask for the extradition of those 12 russian intelligence officers who were named in the indictment on friday. so much has happened in this case since the presidents met last fall in vietnam. at that point, vladimir putin said, look, i believe him when he says he didn't meddle in the election, but the u.s. government, the department of justice, has since provided so much more information, really going in depth about

america's adversaries. now, you wouldn't think of the european union, but they're and foe,

you wouldn't think of the european union by their fold and that of course brought a direct response from donald tusk he's president of the european council and he tweeted america and the e.u. are best friends whoever says we are photos is spreading fake news so terry is this just an elaborate plan from donald trump to make these statements before his meeting with the russian leader. well far be it for me to know what donald trump is planning but it certainly has been his modus operandi on this entire trip to europe i was also covering the nato summit in brussels and on the morning that that meeting was to start in a completely unscathed chilled unscripted and and surprising announcement he started lashing out at germany and chancellor angela merkel in a breakfast that was just supposed to be a photo op saying there again as he has now that germany on trade doesn't treat the us fairly that it shouldn't be spending its money on gas from russia when in trump's words the u.s. is spending its billions to protect germany so that seems to be what he's doing again lashing out at the europeans and in that interview it should be said also that the interviewer was quite

the european union is a foe what they do to us in trade now you wouldn't think of the european union but there are folks these comments to a quick response from donald tusk e.u. council president america and the e.u. are best friends who have or says we are photos is spreading fake news. the theme of trump's time in europe ruffled feathers the president's relationship with russia has been under scrutiny since he was elected president costing doubt on the strength of the u.s. european alliance ahead of a summit with russia only adds fuel to the fire. well as mentioned it remains unclear exactly what presidents trump and putin are going to be talking about in helsinki so earlier i asked peter craven in helsinki if any details had to fall about their agenda we do assume they're going to talk about crimea ukraine syria nuclear proliferation and those accusations of meddling on the part of russia perhaps the orders of readymade brought in in u.s. elections in u.s. democracy but we really don't know and this is very much donald trump style that he wants to go in there and have a one on one conversation that's very much sort of man to man we're not even going to know jure in the course of th

i am just wondering whether the president has an understanding that the european union is a much larger consumer based in america the european union isjust england or france or something like that but he does not understand the combined european union is a much bigger industrial target market and, if they reciprocate with some of his punitive measures on tariffs, it could hurt the american economy as well. but you would not let personality and sentiment get in the way of business, would you? you would be in favour of them coming to the uk and being shown a good time here and blenheim palace this evening? you have to respect the fa ct evening? you have to respect the fact he's president of the united states. the american public voted him in. one thing we have to do is show respect. if our prime minister went to america, they would show her respect. he is here and we have got to show him respect. what more can we say? you might have a grievance with some of the things he says but he is the president of the united states. it is good of you to interrupt a holiday for some good of you to hear your thoughts this eveni

you think that he has enough political weight to replace america less than leader of the european union. i think that the political weight he has it in his own country because he's backed by a strong majority angela merkel has a more complex political situation with constant negotiations within her coalition . has much more room for maneuver with the national politics number less obviously america has the experience and also has the success of our policy and the strength that the german economy has today behind her there are challenges in germany for example demographical challenges but there are also results that are massively large that have given the status of a leader but i truly believe that europe's future depends on the goodwill the mutual comprehension the intense dialogue that will exist that we in france or germany between and i knew in moscow and angle americal if you know i know now that the u.k. is leaving the e.u. france many pulling more weight and heroes as breck's it helped micron's and mission to lead hero meanwhile his game or political clout with london out of the ba

president all trying describe the european union about china and russia as america's greatest show trump condemned european leaders for taking advantage of the u.s. over trade well i think we have a lot of i think the european union is a foe what they do to us in trade now you wouldn't think of the european union but there of. russia is a foe in certain respects and china is a follower economically certainly they're a fellow but that doesn't mean they're bad it doesn't mean anything it means that they are competitors they want to do well and we want to do well and we're starting to do well well he's our china correspond with more from beijing. well in theory you'd think that the e.u. in china would be allies right now after all both of fallen out with president donald trump over trade in the case of the e.u. not just trade but also defense china though is looking for more than just trade deals at this china e.u. summit they want an ally a coalition partner to stand up to president donald trump's trade practices but e.u. officials appear wary about wanting to do that at the moment preside

america will be there to assist. let's bring it back to vladimir putin again. his top priority, his number one goal, is the dissolution of the european union which is his main livelihood on the european continent. the breakup of nato is right up there as well. his chief ally in the deconstruction of the e.u. and nato today is the president of the united states. america so much weaker today than we were just five days ago and that is saying a lot. our nation and the world has never seen a more cataclysmic foreign trip than the one that we just witnessed. this country can survive a lot. we are resilient. like, president trump is making this country a laughingstock. we used to be a pillar of strength, an example to be looked up to. now we are the but of jokes. we are seen as weak. a total pushover. all you need to do if you were desperate or not a cracked or an enemy of america is to get in a room at the united states president and he will give you everything you want with no price tag. that is america in the world today and i could not be center about it. -- be i could not the sadder about it. i yield back. announcer: tuesday, changes to the

made to america separate traded deals with mexico and canada later. july 25. the european unionpoints that i want to bring a peer. the president says the economy is booming. what a steep form say. make other reforms. he can get it to five. but by these standards do you think he could be better than that. he is moving in the right direction. then you would see this 4% permanent. another major tax cut. no reason why we can't do it again. a lot of pent-up entrepreneurship out there. on the issue of trade. a factual statement that the europeans are coming here i don't know what the end of the result of that would be. the president says he would do a separate trade deal. with mexico and canada. a second -- a separate deal. they just did a whopping big deal with the eu. the headlines coming out right now. more positive around trade talks. he wants to be positive about trade because us the of the overwhelming and negative for the stock market. they begin a sweeping free-trade agreement. that would be huge. i have to say it's rather unlikely that america can do a sweeping trade deal wit
