richard haass, susan glasser and tony blinken.start with regard to one oddity which is the president is going to the united kingdom, but i think he would be the first president who was actually not visiting london. >> fareed, it's quite extraordinary. he is not going to london, the reason he is not going to london is for fear of being embarrassed by massive protests against his presence. that is extraordinary and i don't think we've soon that, an american president actually deterred from going to the capital of our closest partner and ally in the world. this gets at the larger fear that i think people have with the president going into this trip which is vitally important and that's basically a repeat of what we saw at the g-.and after that the kim jong-un summit where he president goes, has a bad relationship with our closest partners and allies and then goes and embraces a dictator, in this case mr. putin. there is a very real fear of that between london, the nato summit and then heading to the meeting with putin. he has an oppo

i'm joined by richard haass, author of "a world in disaway."confusing to look at the way the president is treating russia and iran, both hostile nations. yet one he's say you'd be crazy to ask me to yell at him when he was standing next to vladimir putin. the other, he's basically yelling at him through twitter. >> well, you're right, katy. iran has become the adversary of choice. let's put aside russia, because obviously the president has this inexplicable devotion to a positive relationship. it's interesting to look at the difference, say, with north korea. the summit accomplished in singapore accomplished from what i can tell virtually nothing, yet north korea is off the front pages. they have nuclear weapons and the president is basically saying be patient. iran does not have nuclear weapons. it was the united states, not iran that blew up the nuclear agreement. and now the president is acting in a remarkably confrontational manner. you've got to think that it has something to do with our allies in the region, israel, saudi arabia, all favo

richard haass? >> yes. no would be the correct answer. >> counsel?we have compared to the previous story something of a two didn't prornged attack on or closest allies. further threat to take away u.s. forces in europe and a trade war with europe at one and the same time. >> you know, i -- you just got to say it. admiral, i know you're not a political guy, but, you know -- >> oh, boy. >> you fight on the battle field you're given, and right now, know, i have to ask you a political question -- well i don't know if it's even political. >> oh, boy. >> there has been this concern, certainly since we interviewed donald trump in december 2015 and he refused to criticize vladimir putin, said he was a strong leader and we needed that type of leadership in america. there's been a concern that he would never criticize vladimir putin. there's been a concern obviously through this investigation that vladimir putin must have something on donald trump. i -- i firmly believe he does have something on donald trump, and that's why he's never criticized putin. that sa

however, i -- while i think of richard haass, had a very good idea. i think we're beyond intervention here. because let's be clear, an intervention is trying to change somebody's behavior. donald trump's behavior is what we've learned through his presidency is, it is not going to change. and so what i think some senior cabinet officials and others do needs to -- they need to send a wake-up call. they need to send a wake-up call to congress so -- >> but do you believe there's anyone in this administration, ruth, who would do that, it would actually have the impact? >> you know, if you're me and a column nis and you don't think that anything you argue can have any impact, i guess you might as well pull the covers over your head in the morning. there are people who are agonized inside this administration. i believe there are people who aring an nitzed inside congress. and there are americans who are appalled by what they saw. so yes, we just need a wake-up call. but this is -- some significant resignations could be a jolt because what else is working her

step away from this from this self-preservation that you have just outlined or will more and more haass will resign and this could be basically a trap for the reason me but she called really back at this moment it has taken us so long to come up with something that's her own vision of said that i think it would be very very hard for her to to step back from that. she's a wedded to it for the moment there are two high level senior ministers quitting in quick succession one. was it that broke the camel's back when did they object to so strongly that they had to jump ship at this crucial phase in the break that negotiations. well for david davis he said that he just couldn't bring himself to push through this strategy because he'd be that he'd be the one to deliver it he'd be the one to also go to brussels and negotiate with his european counterparts and that he said he can only do that if he thinks that the policy is right and for him it wasn't right he would have hoped for something that's a stronger u.k. position he thinks that's the u.k. would end up too much of a rule take over e.u. r

richard haass -- kmplts i pi >> can i pick up on that, joe?re. >> one point i'd like to make, sorry, picking up from what katty said, in the run-up to this trip president trump's advisors used over and over the word "maligned activitactivity" describe russia. my first question to the president yesterday, i asked him -- he started the day blaming u.s. foolishness, u.s. stupidity and the witch hundt for thewitch-hunt. do you hold russia accountable for anything? a whole list of things to say and his advisors encouraged him to say. crimea, intervention in ukraine, in the u.s. election and none of those things came to mind when he answered. >> hmm. >> amazing. >> two invasions in ten years. >> yeah. >> the poisoning of -- of people on british soil. you're exactly right. it's -- it's inexplicable, and that's the thing, richard haass. his own foreign policy team time and time again tries to get donald trump to do the right thing. and when i say to do the right thing, to actually just state fact, and not live in this alternate reality. so what do you
