of fareed zakaria gps. the president responded saying republicans should repeal failing obamacare now and work on a new health care plan that will start from a clean slate.

joining us now is fareed zakaria. i don't know if it's just the president's lexicon, i'll have an announcement in two weeks, or something big's going to happen to tease stuff, or just to be polite. but the idea that there's going to be some sort of -- the u.s. isn't going to pull out of the paris accord seems highly unlikely. >> highly unlikely, but mainly because there was no reason to pull out of it.

fareed zakaria is here. before we get back to fareed, secretary of state tillerson spoke at st.rews before leaving for the g20 summit in hamburg, germany. let's listen and then we'll have a talk. >> i think as we talk about our relationship with russia previously and we i think characterize it as being at a very low point, we have been engaged with russia for some time now to identify areas that we should have mutual interest in. syria is certainly one that is a very complex situation in terms of how we transition from the conclusion of a successful effort to defeat isis, destabilizing syria so we can begin what will no doubt be a lengthy process of political solutions that will lead to the future for syrians and syrian people. i think the important aspect of this is that this is where we have begun an effort to begin to rebuild confidence between ourselves and russia at the milita military-to-military level but also at the diplomatic level. we hope that this is going to be the beginning of other important areas that need to be addressed in order to strengthen our relationship.

"fareed zakaria gps."r your own question. a more gentle, romantic donald trump -- >> reporter: a lover not a fighter. >> how love should prevail over ambition and work become the candidate trump we saw there? >> what you see in that part of the documentary is the reinvention of donald trump. you begin to realize he is a perfectly honed character. first is he began to realize the power of celebrity and the value of celebrity. that's when he got out of the real estate business. he began to feel a few things, the anger against politicians. he runs on the reform party. tries to run on the reform party ticket for a while and then he begins to see the toktsic energy on the far right. remember, his first political mo moves. he knew that the election of a black president had stirred a kind of ugly racial animous. a small subset but he knew how to get to them. it was a 50-year low of trust for politicians. he got his timing right, which all great performers need. >> about the man right there, lover not a fighter, t

here to discuss, fareed zakaria, host of cnn's "fareed zakaria gps." good to have you on. the house and senate have a deal on their russia sanctions bill. the white house released a statement tonight, here's what the statement says. "the president has been very vocal about his support for continuing sanctions afternoon tho on those three countries. he has no intention of getting rid of them but wants to make sure we get the best deal for the american people possible. congress does not have the best record on that." so if the president does sign this bill, does that go far enough you think in rebuking the meddling in the 2016 election? >> no. it's a very small step. it's a step that's designed really by congress to ensure that the president doesn't weaken any of the sanctions really against russia. iran and north korea have just been thrown as a cover and this was done by republicans so as not to kind of publicly embarrass the president. but look, i was just in europe and this is a very serious matter for the europeans. they regard how the united states

let's discuss now fareed zakaria, the host of gps is here. key question you know what i'm asking you. you think the question about meddling will that come up? will the president bring that up. >> who can predict donald trump? the thing you could say is it would make so much sense for him to do it. the odd thing about what trump has done is as you are pointing out he is not behaving strategically. he gives a perfectly good speech in poland and steps on himself with the press conference with the attacks on the media, attacked on american intelligence. that once again becomes the story. in this case if he were to ask about it, it would be -- it would be a home run for him right. he'd come out seeming stateman like. he would say look i know it benefitted me but i have to benefit the democracy. it's not as though putin doesn't have an answer. he is a perfectly intelligent guy. he would have parried the way he did when obama told him putin could handle this fine. but it feels like in these situations trump is egoicle enough and takes it pebble pers

joining us now is fareed zakaria. don't know if it's just the president's lexicon, i'll have an announcement in two weeks, or something big's going to happen to tease stuff, or just to be polite. but the idea that there's going to be some sort of -- the u.s. isn't going to pull out of the paris accord seems highly unlikely. >> highly unlikely, but mainly because there was no reason to pull out of it. the paris accord is a series of voluntary agreements that the united states has set, for example, the united states has set its own targets. it can adhere to them or not adhere to them. there's no punishment mechanism. there's not even really a reporting mechanism. the united states could have stayed in the paris accord and done whatever donald trump wanted to do on energy or coal or whatever. he did it for symbolic reasons. it is unlikely he would undo it. >> then why have a paris accord at all? >> that's a good point. it created a certain kind of international norm and a standard, where everyone was trying to reach that

who better to discuss than fareed zakaria, host of "fareed zakaria gps."set out the overarching theme which is pretty interesting because it's shaping an interconnected world. that in the face of america first. what do you see? >> merkel's view which represents really the vast majority of the leaders present is the globalization is a win-win. that it raises living standards and trade and as a result, it's something we should all embrace. trump's view very decidedly, and this is really from the start of his public career 30 years ago, has been that trade is a win/lose. that somebody is winning and somebody is losing. his view is america has been losing and so what's most interesting about what's happened in the last day or two is that the europeans are taking, you know, continuing their view and essentially bypassing the united states. they have signed this huge trade deal with japan. it's 30% of the world economy. and the japanese are clearly saying, well, if the americans won't do tpp, won't do the trans-pacific partnership, we'll find other sources. what

joining us to dig in, steven cohen and fareed zakaria. imir putin as the most powerful man in the world right now. can russia be a reliable partner to the united states right now? do you think there's any room for real cooperation? >> i do think there's room for real cooperation. the most important thing to understand about vladimir putin is he's a russian nationalist. he's not a rogue actor. he's very intelligence, very purposeful and has a view of russia's interests that is very logical. so what the united states has to do is not believe it can charm vladimir putin, you know, serving him chocolate cake and things like that. the idea would be to ask where do those interests intersect and at least theoretically, there are many points of intersection, on syria, for example, and in general the russians have many shared interests, whether it's with islamic terrorism or north korea. they don't want instability either. the big problem for the trump administration is, of course, the -- they've put themselves in a box where they can't seem too co

. >> joining us now, fareed zakaria.s it sound like to you there could be some wiggle room from when he pulled out of paris? >> you know, it's one more of president trump's statements that are perplexing and frankly mystifying. it is not clear what it means. the paris accords, of course, were voluntary targets set by countries and was an agreement that countries would follow their own targets. there was no penalty. there was nothing. so, you know, it's not even clear what it would mean to rejoin it. i can't imagine he would. i suspect that perhaps he was just being polite because president macron was right there. clearly disagrees with him on the paris climate accords. you know, with president trump, it's impossible to predict. it could mean something. it strikes me as just some kind of polite way of kind of not rubbing that disagreement in, because as i say, it does -- if that was his -- if his view was this was a flexible thing and we could look into it and maybe, quote, unquote, renegotiate it, you just have to stay i

joining us now, the host of gps, fareed zakaria, rushing in just for the occasion. we do appreciate it. we're talking about president trump joining the g-20 to meet with vladimir putin for the first time face to fame, even though we know we met him before. what does putin want out of this. >> you know the odd thing about the way trump has handled russia is he's placed himself in a box where he can't do the kind of sensible reaching out and pragmatic deal making you have to do with any country. we're frozen on russia because he's been too worry about the optics, what it would look like. what putin wants more than anything else is to break through on that. his big goal has always been the end of the sanctions. when i met putin last july, when i interviewed him. what i was struck by, there was a moment when i was in the room with the italian prime minister renzi and putin -- you know, this is before we were going on stage. putin really took that ten minutes of filler time to go at renzi and say, you know, you've got to get rid of these sanctions, these sanctions don't

and i think, you know, fareed zakaria said a few minutes ago that foreign policy was not a branch ofapy. but there are a lot of psychotherapists working around the kremlin, trying to figure out why donald trump likes them, why he is open to them, how to predict his mercurial attitudes. and what do they have in common? they have some interests in common as people who approach things differently. trump is visceral and putin is a tactician. the seminal influence in his life was learning sambo, a form of martial arts. he uses people's exercise and body weight to throw them back and to plant their moves against his moves. he is not a great strategic thinker. neither is mr. trump. >> that was an interesting story there. matt, right now russia and china are pushing their own plan for north korea to stop testing ballistic missiles. the u.n. ambassador nikki haley said this earlier today. >> the world is on notice. if we act together, we can still prevent a catastrophe, and we can rid the world of a grave threat. if we fail to act in this way, there will be a different response. >> but the ru

but part of the handling apparently includes rip china, blaming beijing that it does nothing fareed zakariahosting a special tonight. how trump won. my question out of the gate, is what does it will be handled mean toe you. >> he has the reputation of being a bluffer. he had tapes on comey, he had sent investigators to hawaii where they had found amazing stuff about barack obama's birth certificate. throughout there's just a string of bluffs and brag atoshia. what worries me is trump might want to do something to drab from domestic troubles. this would be a place where he could be bold, decisive, the company would rally around him. it would be deeply, deeply irresponsible, because there isn't a simple to the north korea problem. everyone who has looked at the military options essentially say they essentially don't exist. ss the only path is really through china s. >> about on china, and we have talked about this, he has said before they tried and now he's saying they're doing nothing. what will compel china to help? >> i think we have to recognize that china is not doing this out of some ki

eastern you can see the results in a cnn special report called "why trump won" reported by cnn's fareed zakaria:00 p.m. monday night. what do you got, kathryn? two of them? put them up. let's see. drug testing for weed is absurd. you know, brian, i'm sympathetic to what she just said, though. i mean, if someone god forbid were injured on the floor of her shop and the person responsible was smoking marijuana, she's opening herself up to lienlt issue that is she can't shoulder. i'd like to see improvement in testing so you know did somebody smoke three weeks ago or this morning? one more, if we have time. employers have the right to a sober day's work from their employees. i think they should also drug test for unemployment benefits edward, time does not permit me to get into that whole issue. the bottom line is 4 in 10 can't pass a test. we've got an opioid epidemic in that country that needs fixing. >>> still to come, up able to repeal or replace obamacare, president trump is pledging to let it implode. well, how are health insurance companies functioning in a climate of such uncertainty. about

i'm curious as to how much we really know about kim jong-un and i thought my colleague fareed fareed zakaria spans both parties and it goes like this. north korea is the world's most bizarre country run by a crack pot dictator with a strange haircut. he's unpredictable and irrational and cannot be negotiated with. eventually this weird and cool regime will collapse. meanwhile, the only solution is more and more pressure. but what if the conventional wisdom is wrong? perhaps the right way to look at north korea is as a smart, rational, calculated government that is functioning shrewdly given its priority of regime survival. more pressure only strengthens its resolve to buy even more insurance. how do handle it under these circumstances? does fareed have a point? >> he has a partial point, but i believe that they're somewhere in between potential right answer. that's where i think it is. one, he wants to keep his nuclear arsenal. he doesn't want to be another iraq, iran, libya that gives it up because he thinks that weakens those countries. secondly, he desperately wants to stay in power. we c

. >>> joining me, fareed zakaria. we're minutes away from this meeting we've been waiting for, in some ways for months now between president trump and vladimir putin. we have this report about stepped up russian spying. that's just one facet of it. how high are the stakes for this meeting? >> fairly high in the sense that it's the first meeting, and a lot does get determined by how the measure each man takes of the other. if you think about the famous meeting between john f. kennedy and khrushchev in vienna, it was, i think. khrushchev took the measure of kennedy and thought he was weak. and that, in some ways, precipitated a series of crises in berlin and the cuban missile crisis. so you can sometimes end up with more serious kind of diplomatic problems if either side perceives the other as weak. i think a lot of bad things can happen from that kind of thing. it's difficult to imagine any particularly good outcome, only because when nations achieve some kind of diplomatic success, it's over a long time and there's a

what we're doing is moving to what fareed zakaria once called the post american world.ss because of the rise of the rest. it's more because of our own decline. we are doing this to ourselves. we're taking ourselves out of our traditional role that has worked for no less than 70 years. we're pulling back. there's no one out there who can fill our shoes. this is going to become a far messy world. the disarray in the world and the disarray in washington are feeding on each other. and the fact that the united states is no longer willing and able to lead the world means the world will begin to unravel. which, by the way, will affect us. we can't build a giant mote around the united states. we can't insulate ourselves from problems in the middle east. this administration is feeding a situation that will actually come back to bite us. >> i know that mccaster and mattis said they want to stay in their lane and get as much done as they can, but i don't understand why these people along with rex tillerson who probably have the most influence, do something about the president's be
