again, a point he'll share with angela merkel where he's on a different page and angela merkel has taken to the newspapers criticizing what his crew of globalizati view of globalization. rich get richer. >> nic robertson, we'll keep in touch. president trump on his way to the merkel meeting. the president's fist g-20 economic summit and second visit to europe viewing him with considerable skepticism. he may have eased concerns with this. a public rebuke of vladimir putin's russia. >> the west is also confronted by the powers that seek to test our will, undermine our confidence and challenge our interests. to meet new forms of agrgressio including propaganda, financial crimes and cyber warfare, we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. >> but in the very next section of the speech, the president also publicly aired grievances with the european union. >> the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. the west became great not because of paperwork and

how much is angela merkel like her one-time mentor?> tell us more about the relationship between them. very different people. catholic from the west of germany and deeply ofedded in the tradition capitalism and europe. east, a woman from the from a protestant and by the way communist background, who has no emotional relationship to anything helmut kohl stood for. they are very different people and you saw it in the way angela merkel has handled europe -- badly, in my opinion. she is a nationalist. a protestant nationalist from prussia whereas he was a european. imagine twordly more different types of people. >> tell us a little bit about because the key moment in their relationship was the party donation scandal in 1999. tell us about her intervention and that crisis and whether that intervention was courage or opportunism? >> it was both. timepenly said it at the that we should not be afraid to clear this whole thing up. that is what she did. she was the secretary-general of the cdu at the time and she distanced the party from helmut

lots of intriguing head—to—head meetings, trump and angela merkel, donald trump and angela merkel, donald, donald trump and vladimir putin, which will you looking for to the most? donald trump and vladimir putin. in the united states now i think there is such importance at seeing how they will act with each other, and what the canister will be between the two of them. that's what i'm most excited about. good to see both of you. thank you very much. you're not going anywhere. if you have questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see our questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see our e—mail on the screen, and the hashtag. we will do oui’ screen, and the hashtag. we will do our best answer your questions. i mentioned the protest. we will tend to those in detail in a few minutes and bring you right up to date off what has happened on the streets and why these protesters are turning out to object to donald trump at this whole summit. we will try to understand why. central london has been rocked by series of terrorist atta

chancellor merkel called the u.s. decision regrettable. this is 45 minutes. >> a welcome to all of you. anould like to give you overview of the results of the summit. the conditions for the success of the meeting are a bit complicated. my task as chancellor and host interestto show german . but also that we find compromises. obviously that we also make it clear that whatever our differences in opinion -- the spirit by which we were guided are statements on the declaration of -- issued a first action plan, a statement on terrorism and the meetings we had yesterday. agenda.with the today,ted something here which in many ways is the basis for what we have been doing here. we have adopted an interconnected world. we reveal the strengthen the beginning and we were able to .tabilize the world we say what is true then continuing to hold. this indeed is in spirit. results.le to achieve trying to assure that each and every one participates the an opportunity. a local chain having the potential of -- also boosting employment. it was clear there woul

it is a much more difficult relationship between angela merkel and president trump than angela merkelt obama before, because they had close relationships. an interesting meeting kicking off in a couple minutes. >> wait for that. fred, do you know if there will be cameras? make comments after their meeting or any idea how this will unfold? >> reporter: certainly pictures of the meeting. not clear whether or not there will be any statements afterwards or sequestering. already seen the president give a speech in poland. unclear whether or not the white house might want that to be the message of today. especially things said about nato. we'll wait and see. certainly going to be interesting. of course, there are going to be pictures of that meeting. >> fred pleitgen, thanks so much. >>> we'll bring you that meeting in a moment between angela merkel and president trump. at least what we're able to share. >>> and steve scalise, the republican seriously injured after the shooting at a baseball practice. we'll tell you about his new setback. stay with cnn. at crowne plaza we know business trav

so, time with angela merkel today.a dinner this evening and the president will have what many people will be watching very closely tomorrow, his first face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin. and that, of course, could set a real tone for how the president can deal with vladimir putin in areas where there is some commonality, whether it comes to syria or trying to deal with north korea. but there are so many questions about how the president will handle himself in that moment, especially when just today we heard through the questioning of our colleague, hallie jackson, when we were asking about russian interference in the 2016 election, the president saying, yes, he believes it was russia but other countries as well. there is so much riding on this. high stakes for president trump. also for the german chancellor, angela merkel, who has really emerged in the minds of many in the west as perhaps a very strong counterpoint to donald trump at a time when issues related to migration, climate change, trade. these are can co

he has a key meeting with angela merkel in just a few hours. here to discuss what we've seen so far today, and it's been an awful lot, david rhodes, online news director for new yorker, tom pickering, former ambassador to russia. ambassador, i want to start with you. not only for the first and clearest time really did we hear from president trump a call for russia to stop what he called its destabilizing activities. but whereas in europe before he failed to stand behind article 5 of nato, which calls for collective security. today he said that statement loudly and clearly. let's listen to what he said. >> i would point out that the united states has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind article 5, the mutual defense commitment. >> all right. that statement was something that nato allies in europe had been waiting to hear, ambassador. how significant was it he said today in warsaw, a new nato country poland that borders russia? >> john, it's very significant. it reminds me of a statement that winston

angela merkel seems to be the feeling that we have is angela merkel wants to change that and give this gathering leadership and an agenda. that's ambitious. is she going to succeed? dagmar: she is going to o succe, except dononald trump. it just depends on his mood if anything comes out of it or not. it has nothing to do with any basis of discussion. that of course makes it a wild card which cannot be calculated at all. that makes it very difficult and actually i would not wish the nigerian president who is not governing now because his vice president had to take over, to sit at the same table with donald trump and arguing with issues about africa which he never even knew exactly where it is. this is a leader which really makes it difficult to make discussions work. but with the others, it is possible. with the others, there is a dialogue ongoing and of course with parts of the society in the u.s., the dialogue is ongoing too. the point is that the g-20 summits are a culmination point in which civil society, science and business, whatever have, a dialogue ongoing in 20 major countries

he and angela merkel have a right for a bilateral meeting.nny hill. a lot of demonstrators, one banner said welcome to hell, what sort of reception is president trump in particular are going to get? an angry onei particular are going to get? an angry one i think in short. there are no tens of thousands of protesters in hamburg. this summit i think is striking because of the number of people who have come here to demonstrate and i think a lot of the anger is aimed at donald trump and his stands in particular on climate change. you mentioned welcome to hell, that's a demonstrationjust down welcome to hell, that's a demonstration just down the street behind me. a good few thousand people in the square but it all passing off perhaps what the name might suggest very peacefully. having said that the police here are taking no chances, there are hundreds of officers in riot gear clutching their helmets. it's largely because police have told us they are concerned about what they say is a core of up to 8000 extremists who they believe to be largely arm

that's the german chancellor, angela merkel. was there a completely different atmosphere during that meeting? reporter: i would say there was less anticipation because by now we know what to expect when emmanuel macron and angela merkel show up in public together, a very strong show of unity, that's what they've been doing in the last weeks and so that continued in paris. the german chancellor said she could imagine, for example, a euro finance minister, something emmanuel macron has been asking for before. she was more or less reluctant in the past. she said they would do research together to introduce the next generation of euro fighter jets. that's also something new because the germans were reluctant to do that, the french as well. you are trying to beef -- they're tryg to beef up their cooperation. during the whole time of the fronts while the presidency,, so macron's predecessor. brent: if you're looking at today's events through the eyes of the french president, was today a day of big successes for president macron? repor

angela merkel force or —— angela merkel for sure. emmanuel macron is under pressure as well.d being lonely, i'm not sure whether that is his favoured position so pressure for him, too. thank you for helping us, we appreciated. one more question, jack says, no, matthew says what about the free trade deal between the eu and japan, where does the uk fit into that because brexit? any deal cut by the eu at the moment affects the uk because the uk is in the eu but when the brexit happens, and the uk leads, it will then have two set about cutting its own deals because anything the european union has initiated will not apply to the uk. thank you for all of your questions. it has been a hugely busy day here in hamburg and the summit has not even formally begun. that will happen around atm tomorrow when the leaders make their formal arrival. you will see full coverage of that from bbc news and i will be with you throughout the day. goodbye. we will see how the week will unfold and push it further into next week to see what is in store. thursday had 20 of whether in—store, 32 celsius at

it provided a significant role for merkel. ivanka trump can draw support from donald trump and show progress is being made. substantial progress. we heard christine legarde showing the support for women which is hugely important in the emerging markets and developing world. it shows this can help the role of women and help as president trump said to bring peace and stability as well. one of the other speakers talked about the value of the money that is contributed. $50 million by the u.s. other funds from saudi arabia, united arab emirates. one speaker said for about $1,000, you can educate a woman to take an entrepreneurial role. they have 300,000 women they would like to do that. this money is important. they need to build on it and put more money into it. one key thing and this was amplified by president kim and christine le garde. through the digital environment, there is a way for mentorship. the digital environment is a huge impact for women. not just the money, but the back up going online. women will access mentors. ch

merkel's campaign is built on stability. as an macron one europe and that is hard to beat. for the moment. as the social democrats will be bigng, we have to go for tex overhaul, taxing bankers and so on. it will go for a radical taxation system and go for the socially disadvantaged. merkel will reach out and she is very adept at capturing the mood and get ahead of opposition, but her message will be stability. we are taking germany and europe forward. your will pay a role in this. pla a role in this. there aren't many disadvantaged people in germany and there is not an outcry on the streets about the inheritance tax. they will have to find something media than that. guest: have to, but it will not be on on a climate. it's not going to be inflation or the economy. you cannot play the refugee crisis issue that much. you have to sell something special and have rabbits in the hat. it's getting into the summer break. the politicians will go away, merkel will go on a working to her and it will be short and intense campaign. wantin

no love lost between donald trump and angela merkel. fashion very much as a globalist in benefits or country. her country from the global trade perspective enjoys a trade surplus with many of its partners. in fact with the united states to the tune of about $65 billion. president trump understands that dynamic that globalism has such a good part of our country behind and i think he wants to change that. as part of the paris climate accord that was a swipe at angela merkel, certainly a swipe at macron. it hurts american business and he will do what he needs to do. >> thank you is standing by as they monitor president trump's visit to poland. thank you. we also have some breaking news this morning here at home we want to bring to you representative steve scalise is back in intensive care at a washington hospital after contracting an infection from a gunshot wound last month. his condition has been downgraded to serious from fair. scully said for others hurt when a gunman opened fire at a gop baseball is in virginia. u.s. capitol police ki

angela merkel of course there as well. she is seeing an increasing growth of violence, frankly, in germany in recent months as she struggles with germany struggles with the on set of all of these refugees and migrants that have flooded the community there. for more on what to expect with the big meeting tomorrow and what we should anticipate from these protests where s.w.a.t. teams have now been mobilized to deal with these g20 protesters and water canons have been employed by the police. i want toking to ford o'connell executive and residence capri. thanks, guys, for being here. >> thank you. >> always. trish: ford, over to you as i said these are anticapitalists, antiglobalists, they have an agenda, they want to be heard, and, governor huckabee was saying, look, this is the same crowd. they show up everywhere with the same agenda. is that true or is this somewhat different? >> well, they do show up everywhere, but understand the position that you're in. particularly germany when you talked about the one million migrants

angela merkel. and so this is just gives you an idea of sort of the tale of two stories of two different versions of the g20 there. but i want to go back to substance with my panel. and david sanger, i want to go back to you, because -- all right. asha, let me ask you this question. back to the president today directly questioned his own intelligence community there on foreign soil. i mean, you are former fbi. you know, even if you question the findings, to say that as he did, publicly, and abroad, that cannot go well -- you know, just over well with the intel community, the agencies. >> it won't go well -- over well with the intel agencies. and actually, that was music to putin's ears. i mean, to have a president openly question the credibility of his own intelligence agencies, this is exactly what they want. and also what he said was not entirely accurate. he seemed to suggest that there was not unanimity among the intelligence agencies because there are 17 intelligence agencies and he hadn't hear

i think chancellor merkel is a very good diplomat. in the lasast 10 days, the whole world is worried about the health condition of the nobel peace prize winner of 2010. he has been kept in jail since 2008 and sentenced to 11 years. after almost nine years, his health condition is very bad. he has a cancer, and everybody tried to help because he has a wish to go to the west to get better medical treatment. i think it is his last will to get some fresh air, to have a breath of freedom, and the chinese government is not wanting to do that. >> that's what i was going to ask -- do you think these gestures that have been made by germany toward the chinese president -- are they going to achieve what this dissident would like to see a cheap, and that is a chance to breathe this fresh air before he dies? >> well, i think chancellor merkel did not say it openly, but i know from different sources that the german government -- they have done a lot of effort to help, and shee doeses not want president xi jinping to lose his face and agree to let h

attempts to help angela merkel have a successful g20 7 does attempts to help angela merkel have a successfule narrowed the gap that has been created by the discord of his first trip to europe? the tone of the meeting with vladimir putin, it is important these two leaders meet but they are president trump will be fighting his instincts. he talks about having good meetings, good chemistry, but he has to avoid the same path that his predecessors experienced with high hopes of recirculation is only to have dashed expectations going forward. behind the scenes what is most important is the meeting he might have with the chinese president. will he lean into the president. will he lean into the president regarding north korea because any solution in that situation has to involve china? as the president wiki before he came to europe in the backdrop of expanding trade between china and north korea, is north korea... is china going to do anything meaningful to try to impose economic costs on this recalls the gym leader? a lot to chew over. you talk about president trump resitting expectations but he ha

chancellor merkel will be having a pre-meeting with president trump. she is urging everyone to seek a win-win. ise with what we can expect john from london. great to have you with us today. before these meetings, we have angela merkel suggesting donald trump's position on things like trade, we have frustrations between president trump and president xi, which meeting is going to be the most pivotal for private --president trump? >> the one that will attract the most attention in the u.s. will be his meeting with vladimir putin. we don't know exactly what form that will take. will it be a brief pull aside conversation or a much more substantive sit down meeting that lasts an hour? we don't go yet what the conversation will look like. that is going to be the most eye-catching one. there are so many issues around the world that they are all important. his meeting with xi jinping will be important with the tensions in east asia. there's chatter perhaps the trade war is back on the agenda. every single meeting he sits down for will be crucial. julie: a poten

at the photo now you've lot of your puton almost in the center there you've been a chinese premier merkel right in the front three years ago in australia putin was very much to one side so thinking that maybe it's in terms of seniority that doesn't quite fit because vladimir putin is one of the longest ruling leaders there it's food for thought isn't that why exactly they were put in those positions well we assume in those decisions as having three choice once they open the door it's a free for all just to where they stand. so if it's if it's stage then it's meant to send a message just by putting trump on the end who centro it also goes on the end and shows that you see him with the climate change agreement yeah on the money it's there are just a word about why he's right on the end there well that seemed to be a choice from what i can see is that you know because he goes alone and he sort of moves to the outside of trump which post from notes on the outside so he's not quite so cross reaching out to trump. yet we're all to so i just broke up you mentioned there are they. meeting and i'm

today we are looking at angela merkel as she hosts the g-20 summit in hamburg. 62-year-old angela merkel it does not use twitter, but since she became chancellor in 2005, every event that has shaken europe has made her it's de facto leader ever more. step-by-step solving problems, whether it is sanctions following the invasion of crimea on russia, to economics, but now facing challenges like brexit and the rise of populist parties. then there is donald trump. on hiseeting with him first trip to the continent, the nation turning to isolationism and protectionism, she says it is a serious mistake. after the election of the new french president, merkel turk quickly turn to him to work on the european union. seeking a fourth term, angela merkel interparty have bounced back and polls despite some hits last year over the influx of asylum-seekers to germany among other things. in her favorite are the strong economy and a budget surplus. there is background. in 1999, she was elected chairwoman of her party and her chance came in 2005 when the chancellor called early elections. she squeaked throu

what are we hearing from angela merkel? >> angela merkel is the host here, and she does the sort of final big wrap-up. to jim's point about president trump not speaking, president putin able to define his message, to a degree, angela merkel was able to put a cap on everything that was agreed and disagreed here. the very important and big-ticket items here, trade there was a huge concern going into this. a difference over the u.s. position, and the other juntcy members' positions on trade. president trump said free trade is okay, but it must be fair trade. angela merkel, the big-ticket item on trade said there's an agreement that keeps markets open, fights protectionism, so that's very much if you will taking a position that's against a position where president trump has really been. some language in there that will make president trump feel a little better. it says that they agree to fight unfair trade. again president trump has said free trade, yes, but it must be fair trade this is a win for the other members of the g20.

>> angela merkel and germany are hosting this summit. they have the presidency of the g-20 this year. the chancellor has stated that she will champion germany and europe's goals first and foremost as far as what is on the agenda. anti-terror is a huge part of that considering the attacks we saw in berlin over christmas, in france, in belgium and and england over the last couple of months. that will be an important topic. as far as sure that the official meetings go and the communique driven by the german presidency of g-20. vonnie: and on a completely separate topic, given how much we are concentrating on foreign affairs and international diplomacy, is washington completely dead? has everyone gone back to their constituencies to deal with what they might at home? >> all the action is in hamburg. it is raining here in washington. wes like the first slow day have had an along time. but senator ted cruz is putting forth some new proposals the have submitted. republicans are hopeful that they could potentially reach a deal next week. fbi dir

we can tell you that he met with german chancellor angela merkel.s in public, none of the obvious awkwardness that we saw the last time. later this hour the president scheduled to meet with the leaders of japan and south korea to talk among other things north korea. then there's tomorrow's headline event. the first face-to-face meeting between president trump and russia's president vladimir putin. we have reports and analysis on all of that, plus what the president said about russia, president obama, and the 2016 elections earlier today. but let's start with those protests. keir simmons on the grown. you can see on the right side of your screen walking with the protesters. we'll go to norah o'donnell in just a moment. keir, what are you

we can tell you that he met with german chancellor angela merkel. they shook hands in public, none of the obvious awkwardness that we saw the last time. later this hour the president scheduled to meet with the leaders of japan and south korea to talk among other things north korea. then there's tomorrow's headline event. the first face-to-face meeting between president trump and russia's president vladimir putin. we have reports and analysis on all of that, plus what the president said about russia, president obama, and the 2016 elections earlier today. but let's start with those protests. keir simmons on the grown. you can see on the right side of your screen walking with the protesters. we'll go to norah o'donnell in just a moment. keir, what are you seeing there? >> reporter: craig, we are now standing in front of the hardcore protesters, if you like, many of them covering their faces. they're all wearing black as you can see. i want to try to read what this -- g-20 welcome, i think this banner says. i don't think that's the idea, though, from th

merkel shows steps we need to go further.ope you will get more countries produce a fading. globalizedng in a world. there is no corner to hide in anymore. a disease or conflict, it will affect the rest of the world. after 2008 in the financial market, we saw that. we saw that when we had the ebola crisis. we need to be prepared for handling these things, but you have to create enough jobs in the world so young people are susceptible to terrorist or migrating from their home countries. matt: nonetheless, we see large economies exiting europe. i mean britain, especially, is the one that comes to mind. do you see norway as a model with the u.k. in this? >> i think it will be difficult for the u.k. to settle with these agreements with the internal market because we are aligning to the freedoms. when they were pointing to norway, i said there are two things to keep in mind, we have these freedoms and we have a big influx of money from that sector, so you cannot just look and say we manage well. we manage well because we have sorte

angela merkel is called the queen of summits how is she doing so far? >> well actually surprisingly well, i have to say. she was in door to door meetings yesterday, all afternoon meetings apparently trying to find a compromise among the g20 on trade and climate she wants to have a compromise she wants that summit to be a success as she wants to be seen again as the world leader, as a safe pair of hands also domestically what can the compromise be? it will be a watered down approach on climate and also on trade. on trade it most likely will mirror the achievements from the g7 in italy, where they were having some sort of commitment to free trade and anti-protectionist measures. on climate the draft communique, which is circled here in hamburg, it will include the u.s. pulling out of the paris climate agreement but that the u.s. is still committed to fight emissions on a global level. also to spur economic growth and energy security. so you see there will be some sort of compromise whether we'll see any unanimous communique as soon as tomorrow nobody know

donald trump and angela merkel have held talks in hamburg ahead of the g20 summit.20 agenda will focus on issues that the two leaders have publicly disagreed on, such as climate change and the grecian. before world leaders could discuss street at the g20 summit, japan and the european union signed a free trade agreement. reporter: this has been long in the making. japan and the european union have been negotiating for 4 years on this agreement. fears of cheaper import competition for european carmakers and japanese dairy producers were among the thorniest issues. now both sides reach a general consensus, and what pushed the negotiators across the line towards a final treaty. it is safe to say the man in the white house plays an important role. japanese prime minister shinzo abe's visit to brussels sends a clear message to u.s. president donald trump. japan and the eu are signaling resistance to what they see as u.s. protectionism. the partners stressed the significance of the deal agreed on thursday. >> it sets the standard for others and shows that closing ourselve

we're waiting to hear the fruits of the meeting from angela merkel and president trump. any word if it's broken up and what they discussed? >> reporter: yeah. we're not sure whether it's broken up yet, john. we do know he's been in that meeting, i would say for almost an hour now. certainly it will be interesting to see what he's going to say or what both, or either, are going to say anything. the other thing going on and where actually i am now is at the main anti-g-20 demonstration which is now marching towards the very venue where we believe that meeting is taking place. you're absolutely right. a lot less of a warm welcome that he's receiving here than in poland. in fact, say around 10,000 protestors now that are on the move there. they obviously have a lot of issues with some of the policies of the trump administration and angela merkel did as well. she was also highly critical in newspaper articles in the run-up to this meeting taking place today saying that the two did not see eye-to-eye. especially on trade. but i migration and of course the environment. interest

look at the position where the leaders are actually standing of course the german chancellor angela merkel was in the very middle of that on the right sorry that means on her left but we saw it that way there was paying a lot of her post when that was followed by president type. the one so a lot of our putin was pretty much in the center of that whole crowd like a few years ago when he was at the very edge and that's when a lot of media organizations speculated saying that putin is in some kind of isolation but guess what this time around on the other end of the crowd actually also the very edge of it we saw donald trump but i don't think that news outlets this time around will be talking about some sort of isolation there another interesting moment was when donald trump was standing there. emanuel macron the new president of france ran up to them and really that family photo ceremony quickly turned into this tapping into shoulder ceremony with. donald trump and emanuel magnetron in the spotlight here which was followed by mr putin having a conversation with anglo merkel that was rather qu

we have merkel and abe and possibly xi in china.had the announcements a couple days ago and at the eu and in japan, it was deliberate trade, climate, all very important, but it will be north korea, with respect to risk, that the market will be watching diligently. manus: let's break them down quickly. this is the morgan stanley traded. this is a worrying sign, isn't it? this is the biggest concern for the world. it was set up to build trade in the eye of crisis. that was the risk to the world. guest: if we look at defense budgets, that tells the story in itself. we have trump telling other nato countries that they need to expand their nato budget. if they expect their 2% gdp edges, maybe they should. japan, the last five years, they have been expanding their defense budget. they are reinterpreting their constitution with respect for their pacifist constitution. that tells you enough about the state of the world, the state of tensions within a global economy. the yen.t's talk about the juxtaposition between the bank of japan sending

angela merkel, we're looking at her now.that work together that transcends national borders. i think it's a fascinating question how in donald trump's america first world, the rest of the world tries to find its own balance. >> and ellen, how incredible ambassador hill, that not so long ago, the eyes of the world would be on the leaders of the united states and great britain to see what direction those two countries were going. now it seems that eyes are on germany and france, and, actually, you have in donald trump and theresa may, two people who seem to be trying to get their footing, trying to figure out where they're going to link their countries. >> that's right. i think for our president, the concept of collective security is a pretty elusive concept. look at his speech in poland. it wasn't about exhorting poland to take a leadership role in europe. he gave us a history lesson about polish nationalism. poland has done a lot for he helping europe. if you want to go back to 1683, they were at the gates of vienna. poland

ed was chancellor merkel's bold declaration that germany could no longer rely on the u.s. immigration, the trade surplus with the u.s., and the u.s. pulling out of the paris crime paris crime in accord. and the spatial president trump just delivered here in poland, he said something that chancellor merkel is going to like, something that he noticeably left out of his speech of the nato summit about a month ago. here it is. >> to those who would criticize our tough stance, i would point out that the united states has demonstrated not merely with words, but with its actions that we stand firmly behind article five, the mutual defense commitment. >> that is exactly what our nato allies want to hear, is the exact opposite of what russia wants and one day before his first face-to-face meeting with president putin, president trump said this about russia meddling in the u.s. election. >> i think it was russia and i think it could have been other people and other countries. it could have been a lot of people interfering. i said a very simply, i think it could very well have been r
