>> i think the main difference is there were american witnesses to what president obama and medvedev were saying. the problem with this exchange, as i'm aware -- >> the media. it was a hot mike, right? >> it was a hot mike, but here you only have a russian translator. you know, strobe talbot, who was deputy secretary of state under president clinton and handled russia, he tweeted yesterday. the problem is be donwe don't k what possible commitment the president made when there is only russian witnesses to it. i don't think anyone objects to the president speaking to vladimir putin. i think that's a good thing. but it should be done in the customary way, when there are witnesses from both countries so there is a record that is accepted by both countries. >> it's not often that i get to cite people magazine as we talk about our political and foreign policy panel, but let's do just that. it's not a washington story anymore, it's on the cover of "people" this week where don jr. says the president can't wait for these four years to be over. what do you think of that, rebecca? this is a sto

white house and then as ambassador, i participated in many bilateral meetings, both with putin and medvedev. i don't recall something like that happening. >> and in your meetings, notes were taken? >> i was the notetaker. often times the first meeting that obama had with prime minister putin, i was the note taker. i think it's very odd to not have your national security adviser in the room. >> h.r. mcmaster in this case. >> h.r. mcmaster, when you are speaking about national security issues with the president of russia. >> and all the issues they had to cover were the national security issues whether it's the hacking of the election or syria or nato or north korea. everything was a national security issue. there was nothing else on the agenda that was meaningful? >> exactly, and every president, most certainly our national security advisers in the obama era were in the room. i can't remember when that did not happen. and secondly, they did not have a note-taker. that was important for a couple of reasons. one, this he said/he said outlook. i dealt with that with lavrov. we had to deal with

was it collusion when barack obama told dimitri medvedev that they would have more flexibility to dealwith missile defenses after election? was it naÏvetÉ when hillary clinton press the reset button with labrador after the ukraine, as a country be invaded to tell the government of the coach to do nothing provocative to stop the russians? that contest can look at with this administration has done. put its have a look at some of people have appointed to their high office, whether it's a jim mattis or mike pompeo or h. r. mcmaster to shortly after the bilateral meeting in hamburg. look at what donald trump campaigned on. investing more in our defenses come expanding missile defenses, accelerating nuclear modernization, pumping more american oil and gas. none of those things look very good babysitting in the kremlin. none of those things are supported hillary clinton or wee much democrats in the campaign either. we've struc instruct their maint in syria wrong footing bladder putin showing the can't protect that client. where started to take a tougher line on iran. were continuing and expan

i was in these meetings with both prime minister putin at the time and president medvedev. i never remember a kind of construction like that. i never remember a construction where it said it was noted, right, past tense. it was noted that the senate was concerned about this. why isn't president trump concerned about this? >> right. >> i just think by answering it that way, this idea that we're just going to move along after our sovereignty has been violated, that's not in the american interest. that is a weak response to what putin did last year. >> julianne, what did putin get out of this, and why was the meeting so long? >> well, i think he wanted to get a smile. he wanted to extend the meeting so that they'd come out afterwards. there would be a lot of questions about what was discussed. there would be some confusion over who's reporting what. he wanted this to look like a fireside chat with some old friends. he needed that photo opportunity. he wanted to show that he could basically play president trump, and i think he did just that. i think trump came in unprepared. i

that was a job i did when president obama met with putin and medvedev because you want a transcript of what happened. and just internally within the trump administration, let's remember this is not good for hr mcmaster, the national security adviser. this weakens him within the inner agency and it's just not good idea. why not have your national security adviser in the most important meeting you've had as president when it comes to foreign policy. >> this town has got it's share of conspiracy theorists these days. their suspicion around every corner when it comes to russia. so if you wanted to ease those suspicions, why have a meeting where the only two people in there are people who have the closest personal relationships with the rush you shan government. it just seemed to be optically an even worse decision because it only raises more suspicion to those that are want to be suspicion. >> i couldn't agree more. and then especially when you have the dueling readouts. now, we had that quite a bit the when i was in the government, too. that is something -- >> isn't that standard fare? ru

was it collusion when barack obama told dmitri medvedev that i'll have more flexibility to deal with missile defenses after the election? was it naive when hillary clinton pressed the reset button with sergey lavrov six months after russia invaded georgia? was it awe paulg naivete and weakness when barack obama directed our ambassador in ukraine as their country was being invaded to tell the government of that country to do nothing provocative to stop the russians? look at what this things has done. look at some of the people they've appointed to their high office whether it's jim mattis or mike pompeo or hr mcmaster or shortly after the bilateral meeting in goldberg, the ambassador, i don't think anyone would accuse him of being naive. look at what donald trump campaigned on. investing more in our defenses, expanding missile defenses. accelerating nuclear modernization. pumping more american oil and gas. none of those things look very good if you're sitting in the kremlin. none of those things were supported by hillary clinton or democrats in the campaign, either. we've struck their

furthermo furthermore, he took in 2014, putin and medvedev imposed a food import ban on russia. they were -- sorry -- they were prohibiting u.s. and european food imports into russia. what they intentionally did was sanctions themselves by doing that because prices on food in russia ended up increasing for their own citizens. so his options in that world are limited. >> do you think in any sense he's emboldened by the president's low approval ratings here or do you think that essentially congress bypassing this legislation in the first place has said, look, whatever you think of donald trump we're on this? >> i think that congress has forced a unified message, but i do think that -- i do agree that i think putin sees maybe some opportunity there because of the weakened -- you know, the low poll numbers and the weakened president. i think that's reflected in the fact that putin stated, you know, i had hoped, he stated somewhere in his statement yesterday, i had hoped that the u.s. and russia were on the path to becoming better friends, to having a better relationship, and as an a

white house writing these kind of memos when he was meeting with prime minister putin and president medvedev. the main message i wanted to communicate is that we have to focus -- the president has to focus on national security objectives for the united states of america. that needs to be his goal and not the outcome of a good meeting with putin. that is not serving any purpose if it doesn't serve our actual national interests. >> evelyn, i worked for president bush at a time when he met with vladimir putin and vladimir putin wanted to talk to him about the media and about some of the tough coverage he got from the media. and he asked questions about why he didn't fire certain members of the media. i mean, this is not a democracy and is it troubling to be able to watch the u.s./russia relationship that donald trump seems to look longingly upon some of the auspices of the vladimir putin's ruling sort of fist with the way he governs in russia? >> yes, nicolle. it is important to remember that vladimir putin and his cronies in the kremlin, they would very much like the united states to resemble
