chair and focuses on us japan relations. william help us out here because on the face of it, it's a bit confusing. we've got the us secretary state in japan praising strong ties between washington and tokyo. meanwhile, president biden is blocking a friendly takeover of the us deal maker by japanese one calling into national security risk. how does this fit together as well? i think this really highlights the split people within dividing this ration of certainly blinking along with the secretary of defense, austin and the secretary of your treasury. you'll in support of the deal. all 3 understand how important to us repent. relationship is over biting is much more motivated, bike constructing his legacy is the most pro union president after a discipline politically disappointing, 2024, in which he was kicked off the democratic ticket. so the irony to, unfortunately, by blocking the steel, the irony is that his legacy will actually be destroying 11000 union seal, worker jobs and other state their communities. what impact willi

it is a slap in the face for japan to be told they are a security risk.retary blink and can do is damage control. saying this is unfortunate and all of that. but i think there is more at stake here because basically the relationship between the two countries are at stake. japan has done its own thing over the last 30 years and build up a global production including in south east asia so japan needs the us but it is not as dependent on it as it used to be. meanwhile the us is more dependent onjapan because of the erosion of the american manufacturing base. this is a complicated situation for the united states and one can only hope that maybe somebody comes to their senses and says, we need to treat japan very, very differently from china and we need to see whether we can somehow patch this up and move forward together because both would be worse. find forward together because both would be worse.— would be worse. and those workin: would be worse. and those working with _ would be worse. and those working with us _ would be worse. and those working with us s

but japan for me is japan steel, nippon steel is japan steel and japan steel is evil. steel taught china the art of overcapacity, the art of overproduction, the art of taking advantage of other countries, and the united states is the recipient eastbound of es overcapacity so president trump will end that. maria: well, look, they're blaming you. you know that. they're blaming you for messing up their deal, u.s. steel and nippon steel, saying you were talking against the deal and you've got an industry now the backdrop where prices were down as you just said, 40%, you've got the economy questionable, the automotive industry questionable right here in terms of the demand part of the story. do have you a plan b? what if you can't acquire u.s. steel. do you have a plan b to gain steel and thrive even in the weakened backdrop for the industry? >> i had a plan b if president biden or vice president harris -- because they changed a lot there but anyway, president biden was reelected or president harris was elected, i knew there was a lot of work, the biden administration bring

let's talk more about the indo-pacific relationship with | indo—pacific relationship with japan.an strengthen that — how important is that, at a time when adversaries will be watching very closely what is happening in south korea ? watching for signs of weakness they could potentially exploit? absolutely, this is a very rough neighbourhood, northeast asia. you have a nuclear armed huge state called russia, likewise china, and although a small and dismal economy, north korea is armed with chemical and biological weapons as well. and in such a neighbourhood, the us enjoys a relationship with two democracies, south korea and japan. with the dispatch of over 10,000 north korean combat troops to fight against ukraine, this has been unsettling. so what's happening in south korea is great political drama, but one that's most unwelcome from the perspectives of japan, the united states, and i would say also south 1531 00:16:03,382 --

>> this wasn't about japan, it's not about japan . this , we have a strong alliance with japan. we have worked together as you know and mentioned before to strengthen our economic partnership, that is something you seen this president work tirelessly on the last four years and certainly we talked to japan about this decision, we've been in touch . this is about a domestically owned and operated steel industry. and we're talking about our national security of t course but also our supply chain, our resilient supply chain . that's what the president wanted to focus on, that's what you saw this action from this president so that is going to be our focus. we will continue to work on our relationships with our allies across the globe . it is something we will continue to do and i talked wiabout the president going to roll . certainly that is important, the president in the past four years has been able to mend any of those relationships and you've seen the president on the global stage and how those relationships havemattered to our friends . across the world. so that's how we should

>> again, this was not about japan. it is not about japan. this-- we have a strong alliance with japan. we have worked together, as you know, and i have mentioned before, to strengthen our economic partnership. that is something you have seen this president worked tirelessly on over the past four years. certainly, we talked to japan about this particular decision and we have been in direct touch. this is about a domestically owned, operated steel industry. and we are talking about our national security, of course, also our supply-chain, our resilient supply-chain. that is what the president wanted to focus on. that is what you saw this action from the president. that will be our focus. we will continue to work on our relationships with our allies across the globe. that is something we will continue to do. i just talked about the president going to rome next week. certainly, that is very important. the president in the past four years has been able to mend a lot of those relationships. and you have seen the president on a global stage and how

that's what we were scared of japan and japan did. this by trade, not aid. and she is becoming a very strong nation and, working very closely with us, helping underdeveloped countries, taking part of the load from us. did you see forces at work within the communist nations out there which may produce a greater measure of freedom eventually not in not in the as to asia except the disaster disaster and red they won't be able impose. i don't believe the same of restrictions which they have. i they'll have to give way but there's some indication they've already done so but the misery of the chinese people is pathetic and of course you see in taiwan the free china agricultural moving ahead and it shows that through free trade in a free country with learning is land with incentives of a free society, a cultural production is successful. is there anything we can do about the flow of the illicit opium from china to the us? well, tighten up our own import restrictions and of course work with the other free nations to control it. but then think you have some surmise,

>> look, again this was not about japan. it's not about japan. we have a strong alliance with japan. we have worked together as you know tois strengthen our economc partnership or that something you've seen this present work tirelessly on over the last four years. certainly weve talked to japan about this particular decision we been in direct touch. this is about a domestically owned, operated steel industry. wereen talking in our national security but also our supply chain. our resilient supplyy chain. so that is what the president wanted to focus on for that is what you saw actions from this president. that's going to be the focus. we are going to continue to work on our relationships with our allies across the globe but that thatsomething were going to cone to do. talk about the present going to rome nextue week that is certaiy very important. the press in the past four years has been able to mend many of those relationships. producingthe president on the gl stage how those relationships have matter to our friends across the world. that is how

keep in mind, tony blinken is in japan right now eating sushi in japan. rubio. that's bad news for the japanese. vice president-elect jd vance has been strong proponent of blocking this deal. so what are they going to get by bringing back to donald trump that has been absolutely clear that tariffs are coming to protect american business, america first. japan has a problem, it's their problem, not our problem. they have overcapacity, they have a shrinking population. bad for them. maria: but why would a deal with your company, cleveland-cliffs, be any better? i mean, if you're getting together with u.s. steel, don't you control the dissemination and the price of steel for u.s. automakers? is that anti-competitive? >> of course not. of course not. there are several other companies, new core is bigger than cliffs, steel dynamics is almost the same size as clevcleveland-cliffs. a lot of imported steel comes to the country. aluminum as well. we clearly have a situation that nippon steel cannot and will not buy u.s. steel. that's u.s. steel. it's an american co

, it's not about japan. we have a strong alliance with the pan we work together as you know to strengthen our economic partnerships. you seen this president worked tirelessly the past four years and we've talked to japan about this to go decision and we been in direct touch. this is about domestically owned and operated steel industry. we are talking about national security of course but alsoer or resilient supply chain so that's what the president wanted to focus on anddu what you saw, action from this president and that is going to be our focus. we will continue to work on relationships with allies across the globe, something we will continue to do and we just talked about the president going to rome next week. that is very important for the president in the past four years has been able to manage those relationships and you seen the president on the global stage and how those relationships have mattered to our friends across the world so that's how see this. it's not about japan, it's about what is right

that's not the case for japan. after record breaking snow across the north, last month is more of that to come. we've got cold air blowing down, keeping temperatures very low here. it will pick up slightly as we go into sunday, they'll be some wintery features as well moving across the korean peninsula. but behind that, for much of china, it does remain very clear with lots of sunshine. the china says it had its hottest yet on record last year and that won't, has followed us into the new york. beijing and shanghai, seeing those temperatures sits above the average still, and it's looking pretty pleasant in hong kong. 21 degrees celsius on sunday. so the story for south asia, india also. so it's hottest your own record, largely kia skies for much of the country here. the rain affecting southern parts of shore line so we could see some rain and a bit of snow touch into the himalayas. if it is a story of a fault and smoke, it may be some improvement, but not for long here. it's for the north where we see those low a te

japan is an ally.ing because even joe biden while i think he did this mostly because he is a union supporter, quoted national security as a reason. it's an interesting concept. do we -- does an american steel to company controlled by a foreign country pose an issue? >> not totally. u.s. steel and the steel made in the u.s., 2% goes to defense. we get a lot of other steel, aluminum, copper, gold from other countries to make weapons and make everything we need in our defense sector. it's not necessarily about that. it could be a tip of the hat to the union on biden's way out. and this is a company again that is facing struggles. it still uses those blast furnaces. those require a lot of people. it's a dirty business, steel making. if it shifts the strategy to the cleaner electric furnaces, that could mean less jobs, less profitability for the company. so it was in the interesting spot other bidders may come in so it's not as much national security as it is who do we want owning these companies that were

japan is one of the us 5 closest allies and one of the biggest foreign investors in businesses in thei'm joined by terry haines 7 founder? pangaea policy. how is it that a japanese firm, an ally of the united states, buying us steel would pose a national security risk? of course, michelle, it's not up of course, michelle, it's not up to me or you, it's up to president biden, and he says that he has evidence that the sale to nippon steel itself might impairthe sale to nippon steel itself might impair the national security, and essentially that he can't figure out any other way to improve the national security other than to block the deal. there is no evidence attached to biden�*s declaration, though. my strong suspicion is that trump will at least want to re—examine this decision, re—examine whatever evidence there is, and meanwhile nippon wants to take this to court. i have every belief that they will, so we will see that evidence, whatever it is, or not. so this doesnt whatever it is, or not. so this doesn't end _ whatever it is, or not. so this doesn't end here, _ whatever it is, or

he will also travel to japan before heading to france to discuss challenges in europe and the middled against the suspended president, yoon suk yeol — these are the live pictures outside the presidential residence at the minute, where people are still turning out, despite the weather. it�*s snowing there, as you can see. investigators want to bring yoon in for questioning over his failed bid to impose martial law, but have so far been repelled by his supporters and security officers. the warrant is set to expire monday. earlier i spoke to sung—yoon lee, a globalfellow at the woodrow wilson international center for scholars. it is an extraordinary situation. in the post—20th century world order, and importantly in the post—world war ii order, no sitting president in a democracy has been arrested. but then again, no head of state in an advanced democracy has declared martial law. so this was a colossal political blunder on the part of president yoon. and now the opposition party that enjoys a supermajority in the parliament is very overzealous, according to many people, in trying to ph

-japan relations overall?ome criticism already from our colleagues reporting that the japanese government and one of the ministers has criticized this as incomprehensible. biden has tried to approach things as sort of a friend-ensuring strategy, and this casts into question when rubber hits the road do you really believe in that or not? japan is a key ally, of course, in the indo pacific, but also in embracing key sectors, including steel against china. advocates said it would create a company with a big enough for rent to go toe-to-toe with chinese giants. questions over whether it will remain at something, whether it will be broken up, right now biden is saying and the administration is saying, this is not about japan. this is not about alliances abroad. but of course, the administration is not following through with its pledge to align itself more closely with allies even when it gets a little tough. scarlet: and, of course, even if this deal was resuscitated the incoming president was not a fan of u.s. ste

three or four times as high as in japan. that terrible circumstance in this country is exported overseas. we comprised about 30% of the world's economic trade power influence. when we are weak at home, weaker than our allies, it weakens the whole free world. strong economy is very important. another thing we need to do is reestablish the good relationships we ought to have between the u.s. and our natural allies and friends. they have felt neglected. using that phase of strength and idealism and honesty, the predict ability, commitment, the integrity of our own country. that is where our strength lies. that would permit us to deal with a developing nation in a position of strength. under this demonstration, we have a continuation of the so-called balance of power politics. everything is looked on as a struggle between us on one side, the soviet union on the other. our allies, the smaller countries get trampled. we need to seek individualized bilateral relationships and establish world order politics, which means we want to p

why this decision about us present of joe biden has obviously angered japan or at least the pon steel . what's the reasoning, what's the basis for the legal challenge against that decision? yeah, terry higher, i'm the, they basically say to make it really short that bite and wasn't honest, they say that biden's reasoning to block this deal is essentially faulty for that. we have to look at maybe what biden said when he blocked it. and i want to quote in the interest, so there's no misunderstandings, this acquisition, he says, what place one of america's largest deal produces on the form control and create risk for national security and our critical supply chains. now of course, that sounds really important. we all know what happened a couple of years ago doing depend demik went global supply chains fell apart that use the risk to the economy of any country and thus also to national security. however, the still companies both say this is essentially nonsense because there is more still in the u. s. and this is purely a political place. and it is kind of hard to argue with that. if we j

and we had the emperor of japan here this past year and the net result is japan and the united states are working more closely together now than at any time in the history of our relationship. you can go around the world and let me take israel for example. just recently, president rabin said that our relations were never better. ms. frederick: mr. trewhitt, a question for president ford. mr. trewhitt: mr. president, you referred earlier to your meeting with mr. brezhnev at vladivostok in 1974. at -- you agreed on that occasion to try to achieve another strategic arms limitation, salt agreement, within the year. nothing happened in 1975, or not very much publicly at least. and those talks are still dragging and things got quieter as the current season approached. is there a bit of politics involved there, perhaps on both sides? or perhaps more important are interim weapons developments and i'm thinking of such things as the cruise missile and the soviet ss-20, an intermediate-range rocket, making salt irrelevant, bypassing the salt negotiations? mr. ford: first we have to understand th

[laughter] i decided to visit a small methodist college in southern japan, kyoto. the audience was nervous to have someone who just left the white house come to their college. the president, the students and their parents were uptight and i thought i will try to put everyone at ease by telling a joke. if you have had a speech translated into japanese, you know it takes longer than in english. i told my joke and an excellent interpreter gave my joke and the audience collapsed in laughter. there was the best response i ever had in my life to a joke. i couldn't wait to get through with my speech to go back to the holding room and ask the interpreter, how did you tell my joke? he was very evasive. [laughter] he finally ducked his head and said, i told the audience, president carter told a funny story. everyone must laugh. [laughter] you can say there are advantages and disadvantages retiring early from the job. i came today not because of entreaties or my respect for this great university. i came for a different purpose. i wanted to come last year. the first year i was

i was the first united states president to visit japan, and we have the emperor of japan here this past year, and then that result is japan and the united states are working more closely together now that at any time in history of our relationship. you can go around the world, and let me take israel for example. just recently president would being said that our relations were never better -- president rabin said. >> you referred earlier to meeting with mr. brescia in 1974. you agreed on medication to try to achieve another strategic arms limitation consult agreement. within the year. nothing happened in 1975 or not very much publicly at least. those talks parcel tracking and things got quieter as a current season approach. is there politics involved pretzel both sides are perhaps more important, our interim weapons developments, and think of such things as a cruise missile andy slavitt s as 20, intermediate range rocket, making salt irrelevant bypassing assault negotiations? >> first, we have to understand that salt one expires october 3, 1977. mr. brescia and i met in december of 1974

relationship with japan?is is when the areas i agrdisagree with president biden and soda jake sullivan insulted john feiner. the top national security officials said this could really hurt a relationship with japan and there's a part in the prime minister of japan weighed in and sent a letter to president biden asking him to approve this. it's a very rare step for a prime minister to take in a president it does agree with. a lot of the workers also wanted this deal to go through. they promised to spend almost $3 billion shoring up u.s. steel which has had a lot of problems. they pledged to adhere to the united steel workers contract so i think this is one area where joe biden's personal and political feelings about unions and about the steel industry really took hold over the national security argument which i don't like when national security threats are used to justify these types of decisions because i just don't think that threat is there and neither did the national security team. >> marie highlights on

he insulted japan, a vital all, put erican competitiveness at risk. the chinese communist party leaders are dancing in the streets and biden did it all while refusing to even meet with us to learn the facts. our employees and communities deserve better. what do you think of that response, what is interesting about response to you? guest: both sides are going to be making their statements now. it's look, when the steel was first announced as an idea, last year, my gut reaction studying this initially for a while was that could be a great opportunity, good for the workers, good for the company, good for the u.s. steel industry. it has that fresh injection of capital, fresh technology, new innovative production. also a really good, strong tie to cycle a strong steelmaker and a very strong allied country like japan. and notwithstanding any credible national security threats, it should be up to the company to decide what they want to do and if they think it is a win-win based on the market conditions, then it is a win-win. it's not surprising he is saying

japan is not a national security threat. to spend $14 billion to buy this company and they would add 2.7 billion, refurbished some of these aging plants. this is a very good deal. they're going to save jobs and increase capacity in the united states to make steel. they are bringing cash and they are bringing technology. this is a win-win. this positions all of us better against china peak to call japan a national security threat two days or three days ago, the ministration approved air to air mrs. two -- missiles to japan. they should have. the next day, they block this deal and say japan is a national security threat. i think it is a disgrace and you're right that the automotive sector, if this deal goes down, steel prices will go up and the competitor who wants this company does not want to pay as much. i can tell you what will happen. they will have a near monopoly in prices will go up and for anybody else who needs steel, they should approve this thing posthaste. there are lawsuits for seas, your an army veteran. i wante
