mr. trump is spending time there. the weekend at one of his golf resorts. this ahead of a summit with the russian president vladimir putin in helsinki, finland, that meeting became a little more complicated. on friday, the u.s. justice department unloaded a bomb shell, indicting 12 russian military officers, accusing them of hacking into computers and the campaign of hillary clinton in 2016. u.s. officials sayer that goal was to hurt clinton's chances of being elected. president trump routinely dismisses the investigation as a witch hunt, without merit. still he says he will bring it up when he speaks with vladimir putin on monday. jessica snyder has more details of the environment. >> reporter: 12 russian hackers are charged with hacking into the hillary clinton campaign and stealing u.s. voter data during the 2016 election. >> we know according to dime the goal of the conspirators was to have an impact in the election. >> reporter: the indictment details how the russian targeted more than 300

it was mr trump's denials that made them come forward. a gentleman at the window, introduced himself as donald trump. jessica leeds says she was assaulted on a plane in the late 70s. suddenly this man started groping me. he was all over me and he was kissing me and he was... not a word was said from him. we're just having this tussle. in the seat. and it's like his... like his hands are every where like an octopus. but it is when he started putting his hand up my skirt... that i... got the... strength... the adrenaline to... manage to wiggle out. sounds like an assault. it was. it was an assault. absolutely. i mean, at one point i did feel pinned to my seat. it was a very physical attack. donald trump accused jessica leeds of lying. oh, i was with donald trump in 1980. i was sitting with him on a plane. and he went after me on the plane. yeah, i'm going to go after... believe me, she would not be my first choice that i can tell you! man! donald trump says you're a liar. what did you think of that? well... you know he... of course he is go

to him mr trump may be unhinged but he is not unconstrained and he has congress and also part of his own parts of his own administration that are deeply distrustful of any outreach to mr putin any deals that that could be made for europeans of course this is a terrible situation to see these two europeans congregate and tash out plans that could very much be harmful to europeans at the same time it's a reminder that we europeans need to come up with our own agenda because of the russia german foreign minister mark has talked about in the new austerity that we need to devise what's our vision for european security order and that includes russia for outreach to to russia for dealing with russia i think it's a reminder that we shouldn't leave that to trump and martin but that we need to make our own policies on that front. the. the americans say that the russians are not truly reliable when it comes to reducing the nuclear warheads the russians all the other other hand accuse nature of the americas of expanding east words towards russia how can they put tensely make some concessions whe

. >> and now mr. trump is ducking questions from the press more frequently, refusing to answer questions ten times since the release of the michael cohen recording on tuesday night. >> mr. president, will you go to -- >> let's get more insight into this relationship between the president and michael cohen. i'm joined now by sam nunberg, he was a political advisor to president trump before and then again during the 2016 campaign. welcome to "meet the press." >> it's an honor. >> so let's start with this. just a simple question, right, which is you've seen these two interact quite a bit, president trump. help us understand the relationship between president trump and michael cohen. >> michael was one of the closest people i've seen with the president, highly devoted to him, a sense of loyalty that i thought, at least, until this week when i learned that he was taping him in person, a sense of loyalty that was, yes, he would take a bullet for him. he would do anything for him. >> and is it your sense that mich

with michael cohen's claim that mr. trumpnew of the trump tower meeting ahead of time, do you believe mr. cohen or mr. trump? >> under normal circumstances if you told me that the trump organization even though it was the campaign here was going to host someone connected with the algarov, i would say likely the president now president then mr. trump would have been made aware. with that said, it is important here that michael also says he doesn't have a tape of this conversation according to the cnn reporting. so, it seems a little that we're not going to know. it is one word against another word here. >> but you know both people. >> right. >> you're familiar with the dynamics of the two men. what is your take? what is your guess? >> my best guess is that the president certainly was made aware after the fact that this meeting was a complete bust and it was because if you look the lawyer natalia, the russian lawyer who previously not allowed into the country by a cnn contributor, representing somebody connected to the maninski

cnn has learned that multiple recordin recordings of mr. trump are in the hands of the fbi tonight. not good for trump. a source with knowledge of cohen states this newly revealed reporting could be damaging to the president. we're getting new information about what was said and why it might spell trouble for the president. >>> sex, guns, and lies that's how prosecutors say an alleged kremlin secret agent infiltrated american politics getting close to trump allies and other republicans. a gop congressman now confirmed to cnn he had encounter with maria butte tina. >>> and 17 dead. disaster strikes a duck boat ride in a popular vacation spot with children and families onboard. the company says a severe storm came out of nowhere, but could there have been a way to escape? >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer and you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news on president trump caught on tape by his long time fixer. we're told that michael cohen recorded multiple conversations with mr.

mr. trump's own party. >> is michael cohen lying? >> for more than a year, president trump and his surrogates have denied that he knew of the june 2016 meeting with kremlin-connect agentst trump tower that included his son, his son-in-law, and his thenma campaign chair who is now behind bars. >> no, i didn't know anything about the meeting. >> do you tell your father anything about this? >> no. it was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. became resident said he aware of it very recently, right before this came out, and when he was notified. >> and just this week, the president repeated, i did not know of the meeting with my son. sounds to me like someone tis tryio make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam. that someone?th president's former personal lawyer and fixer, michael cohen, who is fating himsel as a possible witness, making it clear he is willing to tell muellercounsel robert that mr. trump knew about and approved of the meeting beforehand. >> this is about truth vsus lying, and ultimately donald tr

mr trump's treasury secretary steve i'm a neutral heard a loud and bipartisan chorus of criticism of the administration's trade and tariff policies with republicans notably raising their voices in the senate foreign relations committee hearing on terrorist chairman bob corker republican of tennessee and a former campaign supporter an early supporter of mr trump in a state with bokes wagon nissan and general motors plants said he was concerned mr trump was on a dangerous course and listen to this abusing his authority that's capitol hill code here folks for breaking the law by mr trump imposing tariffs on national security is justification for those tariffs that authority by the way is sometimes specifically cited as section two thirty two you may hear that around another republican house financial services chair jeb hensarling said he was worried about a quote full fledged trade war with no end in sight and in a speech to the economic club of washington house speaker paul ryan republican house speaker for gosh sakes said about trade policy quote new tariffs are not the solution all o

most notably there was a giant orange balloon of mr. trump as a baby that floated above the crowd outside parliament. as erin mclaughlin shows us. >> reporter: anti-trump protests handing across london. here you can see they stopped just outside of downing street, a mini version of the trump baby balloon. we're asking people here one simple question. why are you protesting? >> because it is our opportunity to make our voices heard that we disapprove of pretty much everything that donald trump is and stands for and has done so far as president. that is it. as simple as that. we can make our voices heard. hopefully someone will notice. i don't suppose it will change his mind about anything, but it makes us feel a great deal better. >> why are you protesting? >> i'd like my children to grow up in a world that cares about people and cares about the planet and i don't think trump represents either of those things. >> we're basically protesting because we don't welcome trump, we don't welcome his politics, we don't welcome his xenophobia. and he is

can force these powers looking for certain areas where those interests can overlap and obviously mr trump comes to that from a competitor perspective he enjoys competition i'm pretty sure there is street getting mr putin as well even though russia obviously is a. much weaker country in terms of the economy in terms of its diplomatic clout. the united states is still a superpower but. they said that you know we can see that we are not we are trying to do what's best for our countries we can do it in the normal respectful way you can respect your enemies you can respect your rivals and there is nothing wrong with that that does not constitute a collusion or betrayal of treason that is actually how you do you things in a normal way i miss it do you think the public will appreciate such a candid answer from him saying that you know he doesn't fully trust me i don't fully trust him that's the way things are well i don't know if that's candid i think that's just common sense i'm in it would be foolish on the part of mr putin to fully trump mr trump or any other american there were let's say ger

mr. trump's chief financial officer and someone who knows as much as anyone about how the trump and mr. trump personally has done business and with whom. but therwere two other stories that got the most attention this week and they both involve the prident's now form long-time attorney, friend and fixer, michael cohen. not only did cohen release a tape of him discussing hush money payments to a playboy model, he appears to be prepared to tell the special counsel that mr. trump knew abo the infamous trump tower meeting with russians in advance. if michael cohen tells that version ofnd events if he could prove it, it could turn out to be the game changer, even for members of m trump's own party. >> is michael cohen lying? >> for more than a year, president trump and his surrogates have denied that he knew of the june 2016 meeting with kremlin-connected agents a trump toat included his son, his son-in-law, and his then campaign chairman,isho now behind bars. >> no, i didn't know anything about the meeting. >> do you tellour father anything about this? >> no. it was such ae nothing, ths noth

the express does the same, while carrying a big picture of mr trump holding mrs may's hand.ge crowds that came out to protest against the visit. and the telegraph carries an interview with one of mr trump's former advisors who says that, perhaps unsurprisingly, mr trump told mrs may to be "tough," in her negotiations with the eu so some different takes on the presidential visit on the front pages. let's take a look at some of them in more detail. we will begin with a did he or didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't he question. the guardian, i didn't criticise the prime minister, thatis didn't criticise the prime minister, that is fake news, says trump. welcome anybody who read the interview in the sun, that exclusive which seemed to have taken members of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in it. of the government by surprise, might have read some criticism in itm was hard not to see criticism. i don't know how the president defines that term. to suggest the prime minister is a wrecking brexit is certainly a comment on what has happened so far and

was preparing to meet vladimir putin monday. >> we met with mr. trump about the allegations this week. the president was fully aware of the department's actions today. >> reporter: the charges say in late july, the russians tried for the first time to hack into servers in clinton's personal campaign office, the same day president trump said this. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. >> reporter: prosecutors say the russians set up dcleaks.org to host false material. the russians don't name wikileaks but say it was another way the russians used. the democratic national committee was begin, they said if you have anything hillary related, we want it in the next two days. the russians created a fake persona and wrote to a trump campaign person did you find anything interesting in the docs i posted? while that person isn't named in the indictment, it was roger stone a campaign advisor. his lawyer says stone had no involvement in the hacking and prosecutors also say a congressional candidate asked guc

mr. trump will meet with putin at the presidential palace. now, before heading here from scotland this weekend, president trump in an interview with cbs news tried to downplay expectations of any breakthroughs with putin. president trump touched down in finland sunday just hours ahead of a high stakes sit-down with russian president vladimir putin. a top adviser tells cbs news the two leaders are expected to spend about 30 minutes alone with just translators before an expanded meeting with staff. mr. trump will be joined by secretary of state mike pompeo, national security adviser john bolton, and chief of staff john kelly. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> before heading to helsinki, comes to talks with mr. putin, he has low expectations. >> i go into a meeting like that never with high expectations, but maybe some really good stuff can happen. >> not high expectations. you're just -- it's a one-on-one conversation. >> whatever it is, i'm representing our country. i want to do great for our

but on twitter, mr trump made no attempt to hide his anger with both the fbi and mr cohen. fbi and mrcohen. he said, it hide his anger with both the fbi and mr cohen. he said, it was... there also remain questions about the private conversations that donald trump had with vladimir putin at theirsummit in donald trump had with vladimir putin at their summit in helsinki. his political opponents clearly believe that some of his words could yet come back to haunt him. lets get more on this now. we can speak to our correspondent chris buckler who is in washington. this recording supposedly dates from before hasn't trump was elected. yeah, a couple of months before the presidential election and that's why there is concern about it and why could potentially form part of an investigation. like the payment that was made to the former porn star, stormy daniels, who also claims an affair with donald trump, there is this question about whether payments we re this question about whether payments were made to stop embarrassing stories and merging about mr trump asa stories and merging ab

i've got -- no, no, no. >> the audio at the end is muddled and unclear whether mr. trump suggests paying with cash or not paying. the president's attorney, rudy giuliani, has said no payment ever came from his client. giuliani tells the "washington post" it sounds like cohen is explaining something to trump that he doesn't understand, and now giuliani disputes that the recording shows mr. trump knew about the mcdougal deal at all. >> i don't think anyone can suggest that this represents anything where the president did anything wrong. i question the strategy of doing this, of trying to make a tape say what it doesn't say or of putting out a tape in which you're kind of proud of the fact that you're a lawyer taping your client. and then thinking you could cooperate with the government? you know, to cooperate with the government, you've got to have credibility. >> cohen's decision to have his lawyer, lanny davis, provide the tape to cnn highlights the breakdown in a relationship that once saw cohen say he would take a bullet for the president. >> this is about honesty versu

partners in europe have reportedly taken offense the tone of the letters mr trump spoke to the media before departing for europe. well it is interesting time is certainly going to see. fairly soon as they work something out very far too much and they say far too little but we'll work it out. the be happy. will see on the happiness part the president's travel include two days in brussels then to london for a meeting with embattled british prime minister theresa may mr trump triple and with a meeting with russian president vladimir putin in helsinki finland on monday and will have more on this in the coming days. the washington post has reported that private equity firm warburg pincus has entered the business of mailing checks to desperately poor people then hitting them with interest rates equal to or higher than those of payday lenders the story raised some eyebrows here in washington because former obama treasury secretary timothy geitner who i know from experience was not the foremost champion of holding wall street accountable for the two thousand and eight debacle is now presiden

officer to manipulate mr. trump. mr. trump's foibles and ability to be manipulated a prett clear for all to see. in fact, i think that's why most people, probably in his own administration, didn't want him to go torelsinki this meeting. y 's the leader of the largest, most powerful coun the history of the world, and he's allowing vlamir putin, who has been sticking his finger in the eye of the united states and allies for a long time, to be seen o an equal stage as a great power with the united states. that's troubling. he probably shouldn't have done that. but then to make the statements allyade following that, actu turning against his own administration and his own intelligence community, i think it was a very sad day for us, frankly. >> woodruff: we hear vladimir putin remarkably at one point out tuned, i was an intelligence agent once myself. wh did you think he had this suggestion that russia could -- thci he would let u.s. offs come to russia, interview russian intelligence officials and then an abou-turn, russian o

and here mr. trump is not surprised when mr. cohen mentions there needs to be financing, and he immediately say, "cash." he doesn't say what the transcript that you're telling me says. he says "cash," and my client has been discharged over and over again by mr. giuliani with misinformation and misstatements. for example, what we have heard over and over again is that mr. cohen is living lavishly, and no mention is made that there was a tremendous flood in his apartment. he's living in a hotel with insurance paying for his hotel room. 14 times on the dossier, his name is mentioned and publicly posted where absolute rebuttals, false that he was ever in prague. there's been a campaign out of the white house to discharge mr. cohen. and why is that? chris, because he's got truth on his side now, and he intends to tell the truth. >> all right. fine. all of that be that as it may, that is extraneous to what we're talking about with this tape and what is said on the tape and what is meant. giuliani argues -- and, again, i have to repres

mr. trump's political enemies. but democrats say the warrant showed the fbi had a legitimate certain about people in the trump campaign which predated the steele dossier. >> let's talk about this with steven ear linger. he joins us from brussels. always good to have you with us. i want to begin with what is the development with the fisa warrant reveal about the fbi's investigation and does it give credence to republican claims of bias by the fbi? >> well, first of all, we should note that it came out of a freedom of information act request many news agencies. so that's why we -- that's why we have it. i think it actually undermines the republican claim that this was all a fraud and in helping hillary clinton. if you read the papers, which are fairly thick, carter page was under suspicion before this famous steele memo. the fbi sought to survey him before. now, it is true he was working for mr. trump as a kind of adviser, but that's what set the fbi off. the fact is that he was in contact, according to these document

tonight, the prime minister will host a dinnerfor mr trump and his wife melania — tomorrow he will meetr correspondent richard galpin reports. more than 18 months after becoming president, donald trump is finally heading to britain for what's being described as a working, not a state visit. the preparations have included massive security measures costing millions of pounds. this is regents park where he will spend the night in the us ambassador‘s residents. an opinion poll on the eve of this visit showed 50% disagreed with him coming here. and already, following a fractious nato meeting in brussels this morning, the us president has stirred up controversy here, wading into the vexed exit debate, and whether the government's new approach was what people had voted for.” government's new approach was what people had voted for. i would say brexit is exit, it's not like i guess when you use brexit is exit, it's not like i guess when you use the term hard exit i assume that's what you mean. the people voted to break it up so i would imagine that is what they will do but maybe they will take i

putin and mr. trump needs to be repudiated. katty: you say americans demand action, but there is a new reuters poll that says that only 32% of republican voters actually side with the u.s. stelligence community' assessment that russia meddled in the 2016 election. wh do you make of that? sen. cardin: the facts are the facts. there is no disagreement that russia interfered at mr. putin's direction in the u.s. election. that is a fact. that is not subject to dispute. the only person in the leadership of the united states about thats question is mr. trump. his intelligence team, his closest advisers all understand that it was russia thatin rfered in our elections and trying to do it to help mr. trump. katty: senator cardin, thank you very much. 'aura: their story of survival captured the wo's imagination, and now the 12 thai boys and their coach-speaking -- and their coach are speaking for the first time about their cave rescue. the boys spoke about their ofdeal, calling it a momen miracle when the rescuers found them. jonathanead

however, mr. trump using harsh words like be cautious, you don't know what you're dealing with here. is there any merit to that? is there anything positive to say to that? when you look at the situation between the u.s. and north korea. >> i mean, there's an interesting theory out there and that is donald trump will threaten military action one year and then the next he wants to meet the leader of another country. but i think there's two major differences here. i think trump actually saw, even though i think it's a bit fanciful, that he could strike an individual deal with kim jong un in north korea. i don't think he sees that with the iranian leadership. especially because of the israel dimension that's in play here. and secondly, iran's supreme leader is not going to sit down with donald trump. he hates donald trump. not a big fan of the u.s. so we don't get a switch from the tough talk to awful a sudden a summit in tehran next year. >> now, suddenly -- donald trump had hoped once he backed out of the

and i will do anything to protect mr. trump, the family and now vice president-elect pence. >> of course, the difference now is he's facing the real possibility of an indictment and possibly being separated from his family. different message now. it is. >> i actually don't think the message is directed at the president. i think it is directed at everyone else in the universe. prosecutors and law enforcement and the public and everyone the press. what michael cohen is saying and it is a smart strategy. in reality, i am a family man and i respect this country and i

translation: yes, i did hear these rumours that we did collect compromising material on mr trump. nt trump was in moscow back then, i didn't even know he was in moscow. i treat president trump with utmost respect. but forget collusion, what about simple russian interference? something, after all, that 12 russian intelligence agents were indicted for last week? would you now, with the world watching, tell president putin that you denounce what happened in 2016 and that you want him to never do it again? all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me, dan coates came to me, and some others, they said, they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. he ducked and deflected all questions on russian meddling, blaming the fbi, the democrats, refusing to blame the russians. the president has left helsinki and is on his way back to washington. if he hoped the summit would allow him to move on from questions of russian interference, he is in for a nasty surprise when he lands back in dc. well, the

what we do know, just from leaks and comments, is that it seems mr trump's personal lawyer, michael cohenion is still this — how worried is donald trump? well, i don't — he and i don't talk about... i don't think he's worried about this. i don't believe that he thinks — even michael cohen, you know, what's the evidence? he was not active in the campaign, there's no evidence in any of the press reports that he's knowledgeable about russian collusion. so itjust seems, you know, all of these people being indicted around the president, none of them — they're being indicted because... and the president calls it a political witch—hunt, because they worked for him, and they're being targeted by this investigation. i happen to think highly of robert mueller. he's a former fbi director, he's a good, honourable man. but he's also a prosecutor, and he's been given a wide open budget, and basically a broad jurisdiction, and he's looking for targets. injune 2017 you said, after seeing donald trump, i think mr trump is considering terminating the special counsel. that was a year ago. just in the last w

at most nato members for not spending enough on defense and then mr trump declaring the alliance back on track thanks to his guiding hand or trump launch more attacks on germany than any other european country claiming that

but as those comments were playing out across britain, mr trump then took part in a press conference two mr trumps. i would have done it much differently. i told theresa may how to do it but she didn't listen to me. this incredible woman right here is doing a fantasticjob, a great job. i mean that. if they do a deal like that it will most likely, because we will be dealing with the european union instead of dealing with the uk. so it will probably kill the deal. if they do that, their trade deal with the us will probably not be made. the united states looks forward to finally bring a great bilateral trade agreement with the uk —— finalising. this is a great opportunity for our two countries and we will seize it fully. you would be prepared to walk away if they didn't give you the right terms? absolutely. i think what's going on is very unfortunate. we can't walk away, because if she walks away she's stuck. and joining us now is susan page, washington bureau chief of usa today. thank you for coming in. we've got used to hearing donald trump saying one thing and then saying something r

mr trump's treasury secretary stephen minucci heard a loud and bipartisan chorus of criticism of the administration's trade and tariff policies with republicans notably raising their voices in a senate foreign relations committee hearing on terrorists chairman bob corker republican of tennessee and a former campaign supporter and early supporter of mr trump in a state with blokes wagon nissan and general motors plants said he was concerned mr trump was on a dangerous course and listen to this abusing his authority that's capitol hill code here folks for breaking the law by mr trump imposing tariffs on national security is justification for those tariffs that authority by the way is sometimes specifically cited as section two thirty two you may hear that around another republican house financial services chair jeb hensarling said he was worried about a quote full fledged trade war with no end in sight and in a speech to the economic club of washington house speaker paul ryan republican house speaker for gosh sakes said about trade policy quote new tariffs are not the solution all of t

earlier, mr trump had said that was an interesting idea.nterview with the american network, cnbc, mr trump rejected the idea that he has failed to stand up to president putin. look at the sanctions i've put on, look at the diplomats i threw out, look at all of the things that i've done. nobody else has done what i've done. 0bama didn't do it. 0bama was a total patsy for russia. look at the statement he made, when he thought the mics were turned were turned off, 0k? the stupid statement, nobody cares about that. getting along with president putin, along with russia is a positive, not a negative. now with that being said, if that doesn't work out, i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had! 0ur correspondent in washington, chris buckler, says the invitation came quickly. it does seem bizarre and quite remarkable to some of donald trump's political opponents and also some within his own republican party that he is rolling out the red carpet to vladimir putin so soon after that helsinki summit, that frankly had a fallout that was pretty difficult fo

well mr trump says ties with the u.k. are at the quotes highest level of special just a day after he stirred up controversy in an interview with the sun newspaper in the u.k. in it he suggested plans for bricks that were too soft and if they stand the u.k. should not expect a trade deal with the united states but fast forward twenty four hours mr trump dismissed the report as fake news his description for a taped interview he had just given a whole has more now from winsor. a day that ended for donald trump in the company of queen elizabeth the second had begun under a cloud of official british dismay at the u.s. president's comments in a newspaper interview for two countries that supposedly enjoy a special relationship this was no way to treat a friend donald trump a told the rightwing sun newspaper that the reason may's plan for leaving the european union was a bad one and that a trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. was off the table he also said to reason may's nemesis boris johnson would make a great prime ministe

and that mr. trump continues to pursue policies and actions in making statements that very much are in keeping with what russian foreign policy intelligence objectives are. so i think that mr. putin must be looking with quite a bit of glee in materials of what just transpired in the halls of congress and this committee meeting. i think really was a mockery of the oversight function and responsibility that is supposed to be a bipartisan effort to try to make sure we keep this country strong and safe. unfortunately, i think chairman goodlate and chairman gouty demonstrated they are more interested in protecting mr. trump and preventing the continued investigation from moving forward and to taking these cheap shots, that's what i call them, cheap shots at strzok just were unconscionable. that's why i think putin and other russian officials are very happy with what has been happening here in the states. >> i don't want to overstate what your point is. so let me ask you this. even more directly. there used t

, did that involvement trying to help mr. trump go to the extent of collusion. >> the investigation by your committee i take it will continue through the mid term elections? >> listen, i'm not putting a time line on this. i want to get it done as soon as possible. but what we owe the american pi people is the truth. we came out with one on election security. thank goodness congress responded, put money into the response so states could upgrade security. that took congress acting because there was no leadership from the white house. we came out with reconfirmation of the intelligence community assessment that i mentioned we came out with last week, the summary, saying that not only did russia intervene, but intervened with the goal of helping trump, hurting clinton. >> senator warner, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> just ahead, will the last five trapped in the cave make it out alive? we're standing by for the rescue to resume with torrential rains in the forecast. >>> the trump administration staring down a d

may is using mr trump's visit for exactly that type of deal. the telegraph leads with the president's view that the uk brexit negotiating strategy could be unpopular with the voters. the mail also leads with mr trump's thoughts on the proposal, questioning whether it will actually deliver brexit. the mirror says the comments will have embarrassed theresa may. the express says it isn'tjust the president of the united states who has reservations about the plan. it claims conservative mps are in open revolt against their leader. the metro has a slightly different take on mr trump's visit. it reports his view that "brits like me a lot." and the financial times leads with a warning from the city that the government's brexit strategy could be bad for business. so those are the front pages. let's dip into the sun. there are various elements to this donald trump interview. principally, the sun's political editor conducted this interview inside the american embassy in brussels before mr trump went to the nato summit meetin

mr. trump was responding to this warning from rouhani yesterday as he was speaking to iranian diplomats. he said, mr. trump, koedon't pl with the lion's tail. this will only lead to regret. americans should know peace with iran is the mother of all peace and war with iran is the mother of all wars. >>> president trump has also been tweeting about released documents of aaron page. >> reporter: waking up from his bedminster golf course, president trump woke up firing tweets on the blast of his own department of justice after it released pages targeting carter page. it states, quote, the fbi believes that page has been collaborating and conspiring with the russian government. >> this is so ridiculous, it's just beyond words. i've never been an agent of the foreign power by any stretch of the imagination. >> the president tweeted the ridiculously heavily redacted documents proved the fbi mislead the courts, describing the surveillance as an illegal scamp. gop senator marco rubio told cbs the survei
