jake sullivan: sure.k talking about it in the context of china gives us a concrete way to get into an issue, and as you say, has been dealt with in foreign policy in many different contexts across many continents, across many decades, but just to take the china case, and i think the way you framed it up was really effective. look, i think there are four major steps that the united states needs to take to contend with the challenges you just outlined. the first is to recognize that china is essentially making the case that the chinese model is better than the american model. and they're pointing to dysfunction and division in the united states and saying, "take a look at that, their system doesn't work, our system does." and increasingly over the last few years, you've heard their leaders right from the top speak more explicitly in these terms. this is not any one or some kind of implied contrast, it is an explicit statement that there is an alternative model to the democratic market economy model that the

when it comes to issues, you heard tough words from jake sullivan about russia. you heard tough words from the leaders over prisoners in china. the iran nuclear accords came up as well. how do they draw the sweet spot at the state department saying, we have a new team, a different approach, but we want to get everybody on the same page before we act? >> that's right, john, and i think the way they're trying to do that is by doing just exactly what they did today, announcing a few foreign policy decisions or reviews that are ongoing and then really digging into the details here at the state department and saying that they're doing that alongside allies, and then actually doing it, picking up the phone and calling allies around the world as they devise things such as their north korea policy or their policy on afghanistan or their policy on russia. they want to take action with allies so they're actually making those phone calls so that they can do that. and while they are reviewing all these things, they are announcing some really consequential foreign policy deci

jake sullivan, the national security adviser, saying his trip to the state department today for this address is not by mistake, that it demonstrates to the american people that this administration, the biden administration, will be putting diplomacy first among their priorities to establish strength, in his words, the position of strength for united states with multirat lateralism, rebuilding alliances that e voelded over the course of the trump administration. a couple of held lines we heard here as it relates to yemen, obviously, a site of great conflict right now, jake sullivan announcing that the u.s. would end it support of military, offensive military operations there as it related to president trump's announcements he would be withdrawing u.s. troops from germany, today the trump administration -- excuse me, the biden administration announcing they would be stopping that, instead would be doing a global review at the time. and speaking of global reviews, there is another one that's now taking place, in fact, a sort of stand-down order as it's described by the defense secretary

has some of his key officials such as jake sullivan is tony. tony. blinken are centrists in their thinking what this suggests is that joe biden is treading carefully always with the option in mind of being able to ratchet up those sanctions should certain national interests as he perceive them not be achieved is there any sense of that the u.s. is keen to have this report the issuing of this report a sense they draw a line under this issue so it can move forward with its recalibration if you like of its relationship with saudi arabia or is it looking do you think it other ways of proving that it still has a degree of credibility when it comes to bringing down responsibility or of our. allocating responsibility for these actions. well you know the alliance game is a is a difficult game and in the case of the united states and saudi arabia you've had confrontation over the few shows the killing of human rights violations in yemen and what joe biden has to do is balance national interests of the united states in the region that includes threats from ira

well in the last few minutes national security adviser jake sullivan was asked on one of the morning talk shows for a response to the foreign minister statement and not surprisingly for the administration that's been playing its cards close to the chest he did not respond directly however sullivan reiterated the biden administration's view number one he said that the u.s. will not allow iran to develop an arm to nuclear capacity and secondly he said that the u.s. is committed to a negotiation process to avoid this now on thursday president biden made very clear that he was willing to rejoin negotiations under the auspices of the european union together with other partners in that 2015 nuclear deal such as russia and china so the u.s. on the face of it saying that it's open to negotiation but another very revealing effect of that was just made by the national security adviser he says the situation has flipped it is iran now that is isolated not the united states and the significance of this is that it's a clear admission that the u.s. was isolated during the years and now it is attemp
