secretary of state mike pompeo describes his directive from president trump as unambiguous — end thess wars. the afghan war is america's longest, with about 1a,000 us troops still there. two were killed on monday in an apparent insider attack by an afghan soldier, and although peace talks continue with taliban militants, the chances of real progress look uncertain. here is our north america correspondent peter bowes. this appears to be a sign that president trump is increasingly impatient over a lack of progress over the last two years. he has a lwa ys over the last two years. he has always made it well—known, as he puts it, that he prefers to end these endless wars. and this is currently america's longest war. he would rather be taking troops out than putting troops in or living with the status quo. i think the key is in terms of this phrase, he would like forces to come out before the next election. i think that is significant, that that is what donald trump has focused in on, because it has been a long—time promise of his. it is shorter when him promise of his. it is shorter when

ainsley: yeah, we did interview mike pompeo earlier in the show. says, we don't want your money for america. steve: they want the money. ainsley: our president said he will not give them the money. we're giving them money, they're not using it the way we want them to use it. folks are fleeing the country instead of improving it. brian: what else can they do, if you look at numbers, they're not. guatemala, 250,000 guatemalans coming here. economy growing 2.4%. homicide rate is cut in half. what is happening since 2015 with these asylum laws passed, word gets out, grab a kid, you get in. i will try for a better life. not desperate to a life. steve: there is a solution, involves that building with the dome in washington, d.c. watch. >> we need congress to change the laws so we don't have to release people here. this is crazy stuff. no country does that i travel across the world. no country has a set of laws and congress, that are like ones here in the united states. congress needs to change them. i often found american people demand things, when there

secretary of state mike pompeo has described his directive from president trump as "unambiguous — enda's longest, with about 14,000 us troops still there. two were killed on monday, in an apparent insider attack by an afghan soldier, and although peace talks continue with taliban militants, the chances of real progress look uncertain. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, assesses what the plans might mean. this appears to be a sign that president trump is becoming increasingly impatient over a lack of progress in afghanistan over the last couple of years. and he has always made it well—known that he prefers to, as he puts it, to end these endless wars, and of course, this is currently america's longest war. he would rather be taking troops out than putting troops in, or living with the status quo. and i think the key, in terms of the phrase of what mike pompeo was talking about today, he was asked whether us forces would begin to come out before the next presidential election. and i think that's significant, that that is what donald trump has focused in on, because it has bee

1 am in london and eight o'clock in the evening in washington where the us secretary of state, mike pompeohe government plans to start withdrawing troops from afghanistan before next year's presidential election. our north america correspondent, peter bowes, has more details on donald trump's reaction to this long war. i think this shows that president trump is becoming increasingly frustrated over afghanistan. relatively little progress over the last few years. he once referred to his gut instincts which would have been to probably pull troops out of afghanistan some time ago. and now with mr pompeo being asked a specific question about whether it was the intention of the united states to withdraw troops by the next presidential election, which is november of next year. he said that that was the specific directive from the president. inserting into that phrase the presidential election suggests a political motive here to some extent that this is something that donald trump has long since promised. he often talked about wanting to end all the endless war and this is the ultimate endless wa

. >> sandra: we heard a mike pompeo this morning. the president tweeted as well. want to move on to the back and forth with the so-called squad and president trump. this morning the president tweeted quote, i don't believe the four congresswomen are capable of loving our country. they should apologize to america and israel for the horrible, hateful things they have said. they are destroying the democrat party but are weak and insecure people who can never destroy our great nation. does this behoove the president to continue to take on these four democratic congresswomen in such a direct way, kellyanne? >> i've been taking on these congresswomen for a while on policy and will continue to do so. i was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling out the four of them were the only four in the entire congress to vote against any type of humanitarian aid for the border. it was a disgrace, a wrong vote. every democrat voted for one form or the other of the humanitarian aid package. 95 only did not vote for the 4.6 million dollars working at the border. i was there las

secretary of state mike pompeo addressed iran's foreign minister denying that the u.s.ned the iranian drone. >> it went down. and the fact that foreign minister zarif either didn't know or lied about it, i can't account for it. it happened. >> reporter: iran's foreign minister is currently in new york. iran is currently holding at least three oil tankers that we know of. gregg? gregg: jennifer griffin, thanks. well, the president also on top of some other major developments around the world today, tackling everything from brexit to trade. edward lawrence is live at the white house with the details. hi, ed. >> reporter: hey, gregg. yeah, the international pressure has certainly been turned up here, and now the president dealing with a number of hot spots. and i'm not just talking about the temperature here in washington d.c. president donald trump says that the president of south korea asked him for help with a trade issue with japan. >> the president of korea asked me if i could get involved, i said how many things do i have to get involved in? i'm involved with north k

he goes there with these concerns about how secretary of state mike pompeo's diplomatic security is beingd at times. we don't know how the trips were initiated by the secretary of state himself. could have been by members of his staff, but there were things like picking up chinese food, causing agents within diplomatic security to feel like they were being used as quote uber eats with guns or picking up the family dog from a groomer. another time when they had to pick up his son, his adult son from the train station and bring him to the family home. so long standing protocol dictates that if they're going to do a trip like this, first of all, the secretary is supposed to be in the car at the time. if not, there should be a specific threat that would necessitate a trip like this. so the state department came up with these very carefully worded statements for us. it took them four days to come up with them, and in one of them, this is quoting a special agent in charge saying at no point during my service did the secretary or any member of his family ask me or any member of my team to act in
