joining us now is the host of cnn's "fareed zakaria gps," fareed zakaria. thank you for joining us. >> pleasure. >> what was the reaction to trump's visit? >> first of all, headlines everywhere. the fascinating thing about donald trump is whatever you may say, he dominates the news, not just in the united states but around the world. for all those who say we pay too much attention, so does the bbc, so does australian news, even in india, which is fairly parochial in its news. in general, this particular move, it was more fascination. the really interesting reaction was in mexico, where the mexicans by and large were very critical of the mexican president for having invited trump. now, it should be said, pena nieto has very low approval ratings anyway now, but i think a lot of people in mexico wondered why the mexican president would give trump this platform, this photo op, you know. when you have a situation where you have a man like donald trump who has insulted the country, insulted the people, and very

are joined by fareed zakaria.e is a columnist and host. he sat down with president obama ahead of the the final visit to asia. the trip was intended to highlight u.s. achievements. president obama: what we have said to the chinese, and we have been firm, you have to recognize with increased power comes increasing responsibilities. you can't pursue mercantilist policies and that just advantage eu now that you are a middle income country. advantages that just you. now that you are a middle income country, you can't just export problems. you have to open up your own markets if you expect other people to open up their markets. charlie: the administration also hopes to advance a series and of initiatives. vladimir putin, the interview you had with him, he said you were a first-class intellectual. fareed: he had made some comments about trump. i said to him, i was pretty straight. here is what you said. what led you to make that judgment that trump was a brilliant and talented man leading the field? he clearly wanted to

i'm very pleased to have fareed zakaria back at this table. welcome. great to see you. >> thank you. >> rose: i want to put this in mini con teks. first of all, vladimir putin and the interview you had with him, and he says to you machine other things, you are not only a worldwide journalist known for your columes and tv appearances, you are a first class public intellectual. >> he did. >> rose: and then he lowers the boom on you with some question. so how could you possibly believe that, if you are so smart. >> well, you know what has happened, i think, charlie, is he had made some comments about trump during the primary. >> rose: right. >> and in my interview i said to him, you know, i actually asked it pretty straight. i said here is what you said. what lead you to make that judgement, that trump was a brilliant and talented man who is leading the field. he clearly wanted to walk that comment back. so he said why are you asking me this trivial stuff, this horse race stuff, why are you distorting what i said. i didn't say brilliant, i said bright, th

let's talk about it with fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria, gps."t's look big picture at how unprecedented it is, fareed, that you and i are sitting here talking about the possibility of russia meddling in the u.s. election. >> you know, it's completely unprecedented at one level when you think as you say historically because you've never had the possibility. the nature of the digital world is that everything is connected and everything is connected means everything is open to be penetrated. it's true in the past the soviet union in the bad old days of the cold war did try to influence american foreign policy by recruiting spies up into america's nuclear establishment, scientists, intelligence officers so there was always that game going on. this is new because there would have been no way in the past to have actually influenced the vote because it was all manual voting and closed systems. so this is a kind of unusual feature of the new digital age. >> but what also makes it such a key point of discussion and concern is that the fact that donald tru

he still seems bitter about the lack of republican cooperation. >> fareed zakaria, thanks so much.ure to watch this interview with president obama sunday, 10:00 eastern right here on cnn. >>> we continue to track tropical stormer is moo er tropical storm hermine. another story we're also watching, san francisco 49ers quarterback continuing his silent protest during the national anthem. this time he was not alone. is his protest getting more support?

in a global television exclusive our fareed zakaria asked president obama about whether he is concernedn important nato ally. >> we haven't seen a diminishing effect on our security relations. turkey continues to be a strong nato ally. they are working with us to defeat isil. and are an important partner or a whole range of security issues in the region. but, no doubt what is true that they have gone through a political and civil earthquake in their country and they have got rebuild. and how they build is going to be important. and what we want to do is indicate to them that the degree to which we support the turkish people. but like any good friend, we want to give them honest feedback if we think that the steps they are taking are going to be contrary to their long term interests and our partnership. >> you can see fareed's entire interview during a special edition of fareed zakaria gps tomorrow morning. >> we have got to get trump out of here because trump is not right. he is a racist, he is a bigot, he is a misogynist. >> donald trump has met with protests as he courts african-ameri

. >> joining us is fareed zakaria host of fareed zakaria gps and retired army lieutenant general mark hertling and i appreciate all of you being with us. fareed, how big of a problem is it that donald trump seems to have evolved, if it's the right word, referring generals to get a plan together when previously he said he has a plan and it's a secret plan and take the hell out of iraq and bomb the hell out of the oil and more troops, less troops? >> as with almost anything trump says you know there is no thought through public policy or strategy. he's sort of winging it and every day depending on the crowd, he says what he thinks at that moment, either the crowd wants to hear or what moves him. so, you know, it's in a sense part of a pattern. the important thing to understand here is that his most recent incarnation which is that he'll ask the generals and mark hertling and company to come up with a plan in 30 days to defeat isis, and it's sort of meaningless, because the u.s. military is the strongest armed force in the history of the world. isis is probably 30,000 likely armed insurg

putin himself has clarified with fareed zakaria this past june, that he did not call trump brilliant,hat genius sense. he was not complimenting him in that way. he doesn't think he is a genius. he thinks he's flamboyant and colorful. it's not nearly as nice a thing to say. you know what? it shouldn't matter. on the one hand, who cares? on the other hand, we now have to. this is apparently an electton where the republican presidential campaign does its research at the number one online debunker of 9/11 and the oklahoma city bombing and the "challenger" disaster and the sandy hook shootings and the boston bombings and the aurora theater because they're government conspiracy theories. that's what they're circulating to the american public as the truth they ought to know about the country. their candidate is self-centered that a misspoked compliment from another foreign leader put stars in his eyes that the republican party's presidential nominee says he prefers the president of russia to the president of the united states. this stuff is crazy. it should be irrelevant. but this is the hig

before he left, president obama sat down exclusively with cnn's fareed zakaria and talked about how china more responsibility along with its increasing power. >> if you sign a treaty that calls for international arbitration around maritime issues, the fact that you're bigger than the philippines or vietnam or other countries in and of itself is not a reason for you to go around and flex your muscles. you've got to abide by international law. and part of what i tried to community to president xi is that the united states arrives at its power in part by restrains itself. when we bind ourselves to a bunch of international norms and rules, it's not because we have to, it's because we recognize that over the long term, building a strong international order is in our interests, and i think over the long term will be in china's interest as well. >> president obama is also dealing with some simmering tensions between the u.s. and china, accusing china of giving the president a pretty bare bones welcome when he landed a short time ago. a short time after that, rather, tensions boiled over between
