the vatican denied secretary of state mike pompeo an audience with the pope.ls say the pope tries to avoid these types of visits and interactions during an election season. this does follow a press conference this week at the us embassy where he called on the vatican to condemn chinese human rights abuses. there is an ongoing rift between the state department and vatican regarding an agreement between the catholic church and the chinese communist party that gives the pope more control over appointing bishops in china. the agreement is set to be renewed this year and pompeo did tweet last month the vatican endangers its moral authority. his words there, if it moves forward with the renewal. pompeo insisted this week the pressure by the united states has nothing to do with scoring political points ahead of the election. >> working on improving the lives of the people of china for the entire time the administration has been in office with our policy has been all along to bring every actor who can benefit the people of china to take away the horrors of the authori

on the sidelines of thmeete ing pompeo spoke to nhk in an exclusive interview. the skate says these meetings will help ensure a free and open indo-pacific region. >> i'm confidentnt these f four leaders will be real leaders in pushing back against the chinese on how to respond to this virus and we will develop real health care security collusions to combat covid-19 that the chinene communist party foisted upon this world when they knew hey had a problem, instead of the way democracy. they chose to deceive the world from what they knew was an enormous threat. >> pompeo says it's time the united states and al allieies te serious steps. >> -- the chinese communist party refusing to live up to its commitments, the basic commitment it made to the people of hong kong, for 50 years they'd be permitted to have one country but two systems to live with some modicum of freedom. the chinese communist party has gripped that asunderment we want what's taking place in taiwan. it's not about the united states versus china. this about freedom and tyranny. >> he also defend thehe

that was the sense i got from mike pompeo.yeah, if the shoe were on the other foot, you can bet we'd be talking about it. >> katie: the question whether the durham probe will be finished and there's indictments for all has been swirling since 2019. they were setback by coronavirus, weren't able to get a grand jury. back and forth when you investigate these people about documents that their attorneys are refusing to hand over. this is a lengthy, drawn-out fight. the president is frustrated that he hasn't seen much from durham at this point. >> jesse: yeah, the grant jury lost about four to five months when the china virus came. from what we expand, the probe is expanding and they're taking grand jury testimony. honestly, i don't know. i believe there will be indictments. from what i here from john durham, he seems like a stand-up guy who takes him time and won't put out a shoddy report or indiet somebody that he can't put behind bars. so i understand maybe barr not wanting to do something in october because he doesn't want it t

pompeo was in tokyo and tri-lateral, that's important that that happened.o the president, it was good, and it was good that they made statements with suga's positive forward looking, but i think the main thing, they have to see -- the u.s. has to see this improved relations as important even it's not conducive to any sort of improvement in interkorean relations, i mean, they're focused like a laser on interkorean laser and peace regime stuff in the year and a half that they have left. in fact, president moon spoke at another event last night the primary thing he talked about, the only thing he talked about was a peace declaration, and so -- and so we have to think about, cannot see tri-lateral and seoul-tokyo relations as being irrelevant to that goal. if that's the goal they're after, they need to understand that this is important. you know, in their effort to achieve that goal. you have to get concensus with everybody in that's the goal you want to achieve and i think that's, you know, that's sort of the primary dilemma right now. they see no need for it

the other thing, that tweet from mike pompeo, we did hear this is breaking news, the secretary of state and his wife test negative. i'm sure those results are coming in over the course of the next few hours for a lot of people in close contact with the president. >> it is really important because he conducted the nation's foreign-policy by testing negative. he could carry out face-to-face meetings the president might have been scheduled to attend or deal with because not only does this news have far-reaching implications for the president and first lady's health but also national security and foreign policy, they say the show must go on and the leaders of the free world conducting this, certainly one of those in the pandemic age will change and alter somewhat. todd: that is the perfect jumping off point to our next guest, congressman mark green, house committee on oversight, gop doctors caucus and er physician. you understand how government works, how medicine works, how is this impacting the president's ability to be the leader of the free world? a national security perspective. >> tha

mike pompeo, steve mnuchin, and others joined the president. on the phone, we have some terrific people, the chairman and prime minister of sudan, a beautiful part of the world. and prime minister benjamin netanyahu, i think you mostly know him. we have the very highly sophisticated press. i think they may have heard of him, of israel. i want to congratulate all of you, the state of israel and the republic of sudan have agreed to make peace. for many years, they have been , andds, to put it nicely to normalize their relations. this will be the third country where we are doing this and we have many, many more coming. they are coming at us hot and heavy. in the coming weeks, they will meet to negotiate cooperation agreements. you saw that happen with the uae and bahrain recently. technology, migration and other critical areas. this comes after the groundbreaking agreement between israel and the united arab emirates and israel o and bahrain. that was very historic, a great, very historic day. bahrain and the united arab emirates, three months ago,

get to it.let's secretary pompeo traveled to japan. he was originally slated to go to south korea and mongolia. two big highlights. with the new japanese prime minister and a meeting was a quad in tokyo which at the foreign minister level with the indians, japanese and the united states. let's take these in turn. your impressions from the suca meeting. what are the big takeaways for the u.s.-japan alliance? really a pity was that the secretary could not continue with his whole program to both seoul and elsewhere. given everything that was going on with the president's health, regrettable but understandable. he did make it to tokyo. he was able to meet with the new japanese prime minister, suba. we had a great relationship with him when he was the chief cabinet secretary. he met with vice president pence and secretary pompeo. he continues to build on a relationship that was already solid. committed tos very ensuring that the u.s.-japan relationship remains the cornerstone of our national security. we are looking forward to deepening fur

we saw a tweet this frrning month mike pompeo. he said wheels up for his trip all around asia. this is a two plus two kind of trip that means the plus two for pompeo is defense secretary mark esper. he will be traveling with the secretary of state and meeting his counterparts as well, not just in india but in four countries, the mald yves lanka, india and indonesia. basically doing a tour around the bay of bengal. what's the point one week before the presidential elections why try to chalk up a foreign policy victory this late in the game? the president is trying to burnish his anti-china credentials, trying to show that if nothing else he has shown america is going to be stabbndi up against china and now that it can lever its relationships with its close allies like india specific in trying to counterweight against komina that's why this is being called an indo-pacific kind of arrangement. the united states is trying to project india as the major pacific power. with all these things there's always going to be some awkward moments. we just heard from the president in his debate

and pompeo said, yes, before the election, we're trying to make that happen. what?'s the key question. the thing that's really baffling about this is people may remember not only did he spend a lot of time talking about hillary clinton's e-mails when hillary clinton was on the ballot, but we established in the year and a half before the electi election, we've already seen these e-mails, and they have absolutely zero pertinence to this election beyond it gives the president a chance to talk about something. he wants to talk about hillary clinton, people don't like hillary clinton. people like joe biden better than hillary clinton, so the president wants to speak about hillary clinton. to relive this now is absolutely baffling. i hate to go out on a limb after 2016, and i try not to make hard and fast predictions. this is not going to change the election. there is no chance it will happen. i don't understand why he's doing it. >> and gloria, at some point people like mike pompeo, who have presidential aspirations of his own, need to start thinking about how much they'

this week secretary pompeo travel to japan. he was originally slated to also stop in korea. i believe mongolia. those are put off for a later date. japan trip held come to back big highlights and what to ask mark never about this. first meeting with the new japanese prime minister -- marc knapper and also a meeting with the quad in tokyo which is at the foreign minister level with the indians, the australians, japanese and, of course, us as well, the united states. mark, let's take these in turn. your impressions from the suga meeting. what of the big takeaways for the u.s.-japan alliance going forward? >> thank you. first off let me just say it was really a pity the secretary couldn't continue on with this whole program to as you said, both seoul and -- which is given everything is going on at the time with the president health i think regrettable but understandable. i hope he had to reschedule. as you said he did make tokyo. significant he was able to meet with the new japanese prime minister suga and individually we know well. we did a great relationship with him when he

i think the terms that pompeo used was to induce change in china. that is to use the levers of power, economic, political , military to bring about change. he pointed out the chinese leadership is not united. xi jinping since assuming power in 2012 as undertaken a massive purge and if you understand the nature of the communist party system in china it's very much like a mafia system. it's controlled by a powerful family. some of them in shanghai, some of them in beijing, other parts in chongdou and extolling billions from the chinese people as part of thismodernization that's been underway and once again , i got a compliment the trump administration area i think they're very much following a policy ronald reagan followed in defeating the soviet union and that was going after china's ability, inability to develop technology and innovate. so we understood that they've been stealing us technology and intellectual property to the tune of 250 billion a year to as much as x hundred billion a year. the trump administration is trying to cut that off with th

pompeo, who has been a very stalwart ally of president trump.s very much presented himself as somebody who does what trump wants and any time you come up with questions about whether or not there are nscontradictetween what he says and what mr. trump says he says, that no in fact, there aren't. he has been very much othe front leg with mr. trump and very much one of the hawks wh regards to policies like relating to china. although m trump has gone hot and cold on china over the past four years, mr. pompeo has very much mean someone who has been publiclyggressive with china as mr. trump has taken that position more during this election campaign and i think on t,at score, if it changed, if mr. biden saw it would be seen as a more publicly >> thank you for joining us. a lot of countries watching to see if china policy might change in the u.s.. quickly, other news now from around the world. france has called on countries in the middle eastot to boycott their goods after protests against president macron's defense over the right to show cartoons of t

pompeo was in tokyo and raised it with both suga and -- trilateral. it is important that that happened. on the korean side, the president -- it was good that they made positive statements with suga, positive, forward-looking. the main thing is that they have to see it as important, even if it's not conducive to any sort of improvement in korean relations. they're focus like a laser on inter-korean relations in the year and a half they have left. president moon spoke at another event last night where the primary thing that he talked about, after he thanked everybody for inviting him, the only thing he talked about was a piece declaration. so, blue house needs to think about -- cannot see trilateral and seoul-tokyo relations as being irrelevant to that goal. they need to understand that this is important. you have to get a consensus from everybody. i think that is the primary dilemma. they see no need for it because they do not see it as a gold they are trying to achieve. mark: you have also tee'd up our inter-korean topic that we will be coming to shor

secretary of state mike pompeo's current visit to asia is being cut short. significant are these developments? is the highest profile trump administration diplomatic effort before the election comes around the corner on november 3. it was important for pompeo to meet with the other members of the so-called quad alliance in the indo pacific region. of course, it is known as the quad. it is something beijing has made clear about its objection to the so-called indo pacific strategy from the united states. as the united states has elevated india to be a counterweight to the rising influence of china in the asia-pacific region. tos meeting, he was due arrive last night in japan, but he will be cutting short the trip. andgoing to south korea mongolia as planned. he will stay until tuesday tomorrow in asia. perhaps he does need to go back to washington, d.c. as they are grappling with the coronavirus outbreak and the trump administration has launched operation maga to rally the troops and make sure that there is still voter enthusiasm ahead of the election. it is w

this was the first stop of secretary pompeo's five-day visit toasia.i don't know if you were with him on that leg . we did sign a new basic exchange and cooperation agreement with india. ties between india and the us with concern about china seemed to be deepening. there was a question about that agreement. it's got some implications for air force to air force cooperation so you might have thought about that. is there anything more you want to say about that visit, that agreement and that relationship? >> as you know, i was there. it wasn't a great trip. i had my own meetings with china watchers in india and delhi, new delhi so i can't speak to the exact outcomes of the 2+2 conversation but the fact that we had that conversation and the fact that there were tangible outcomes to me speaks volumes . and i think that's all i can talk about, i can't talk about the details on information sharing that i would note that as oriana knows that you need systems that can talk to each other in this age, even if you're doing something as evil as humanitarian relief,

what if secretary of state mike pompeo said, as in 1981 of state mike pompeo said, as in1981 in the of "i in charge"? —— "i'm in charge". that is what happened, as you say, with secretary hague, 1981, in fact, say, with secretary hague, 1981, infact, everybody say, with secretary hague, 1981, in fact, everybody at the time viewed data as being a mistake, and in fact people in president reagan's own cabinet said, you don't understand the constitution. —— viewed that as being a mistake. you don't understand the law. the law does not put you in charge, the law puts the vice president and then the speaker of the house, then the speaker of the house, the president pro tem poor, nextin the president pro tem poor, next in line. —— pro tempore. the idea secretary of state could take the position that he, not the speaker, would be nextin he, not the speaker, would be next in line, is mistaken. you are quite right, it has been suggested. there have been some academics who said that the presidential succession law of 1947 is presidential succession law of 19117 is not constitutional, because the

i have heard about mr pompeo, the stalwart ally of president trump.es what trump wants and if you come up with questions about whether oi’ come up with questions about whether or not there are contradictions between what he says and what mr trump says, he says no, in fact there are not. he has been very much on the front runner, on the front leg with mr trump and one of the hearts with regards to policies like relating to china so although mr trump has gone hot and cold and china over the past four years, mr pompeo has a very much been somebody who has been publicly aggressive with china, especially as mr trump has taken a position more during this election campaign and on that score, i think if the administration will change, if mr biden would come m, will change, if mr biden would come in, you would not say that publicly aggressive pose. ok, barbara plett asher thank you for joining aggressive pose. ok, barbara plett asher thank you forjoining us. a lot of countries watching how china policy may change in the us if there isa policy may change in the
