trend of american foreign policy and let's face it joe biden you know a member of the senate foreign relations committee for so many years the chairman of the foreign relations committee here is someone who comes to international relations with a deep background compared to the current president so the sign of relief is having a predictable person who does understand the complexities of u.s. foreign policy within a world of many competing interests many conflicting values and someone who will. be true to his word and not just look at the the world is a series of single singular transactions between one nation and another well it was exactly that attitude that led to relations between germany and the u.s. being very strained over the last 4 years let's take a listen to how german foreign minister heiko moss reacted to the news that finds victory. i'm relieved because at least now there's a result but also because the person who's been elected has shown in the last 48 hours that he acts very responsibly he's someone who wants to reunite his country and tackle global issues that's why we're looking forward

she has worked, also, on the senate foreign relations committee.gain, has deep experience inside the government here. we're not talking former governors, former senators, who often fill these posts. these are people with deep-government experience. and then, moving onto john kerry. certainly, not a new name. an old name. but he is going to be the -- the climate czar. the presidential envoy for climate change. clearly, trying to shine a light on how important fighting climate change is. also, member of the national security council. that means they have a seat at the table, in very important ways. so when john kerry is traveling around the world, you know that he has joe biden's word on him. they're so close. so this is something symbolic, as well as deeply substantive. finally, we are told this is going to be announced, likely, next week as the biden-transition team is announcing their economic policy team. there will be several other announcements then. but she would be, also, the first woman to lead the treasury department. of course, she was a c

he goes way back with biden to when biden was a senator, a member of the senate foreign relations committeeorked with him on the senate foreign relations committee. he was national security advisor to the vice president, joe biden, then he became -- he was the main national security advisor. he was principal national security advisor to president obama, principal deputy national security advisor, you should say. he has a woealth of experience. he worked with president obama and then vice president biden. they know him well. >> they certainly do. when we look at what tony blinken would bring to this job, he would bring experience, both in the white house. i worthed wi edworked with him s in the west wing. his experience working in congress and with congress. he would also bring deep experience within the state department. he was deputy secretary of state at a time when the state department had been ravaged by low morale and secretary of state pompeo's poor management. he would be well positioned to repair morale within the state department. he is a well-known commodity overseas. one of the p

he has experience on the senate foreign relations committee and as vice president, and he will work as team, listening to the state department. trump took former prime minister to the golf course. if the next talks are with biden, i foresee a bit more formality. but this much is certain, the u.s. can rely on japan as a key defensive ally. right now the two countries are negotiating the cost-sharing agreement about u.s. forces stationed in japan. after the election talks could heat up. trump has been largely demanding that japan pay significantly more for salaries and base cost, but japan is resisting. trump is with the idea of withdrawing troops to regain advantage. that is not a tactic biden is likely to use, but he will continue calling for higher fees as part of a broader u.s. push to get allies to spend more on defense. as f what japan is hoping to see on election day, i don't think we will ever know for sure. after all, it is a whole lot safer to wait it out and say, this is just what i wanted no matter which candidate wins the white house. >>> now to another story making headline

the ranking democrat on the senate foreign relations committee bob menendez came out against the agreement. the next ranking member on the senate foreign relations committee ben carson came out against the agreement and so, there will be bipartisan folks looking at this to see how much the biden folks are both using the leverage they've got, but also, addressing what even the democratic platform admits were omissions in the agreement to agree with, which is the ballistic missile program and iran's malign behavior. so i think the way forward for the biden administration on this is first to consult to allies. and try and develop a common approach to getting iran to the table to get a better agreement that doesn't allow republicans to pick at all those weaknesses of the earlier agreement including the conventional arms embargo that expired on october 18th while the rest of this stuff was going on and nobody was noticing. and that, i think, will be the best way forward, if they just rush back in and say we're going back into the agreement we don't really care about all the rest this have, i th

biden for 20 years in foreign policy, back since the days of m byron being on e senate foreign relations committeeme people say they' so close he is like an alter ego or a mine mild. that was a very safe pixk. -- safe pick. he started in the clinton administration. nahe was the natsecurity advisor for mr. biden when here was vicedent and mr. obama appointed him his deputy secretary of state in the last two years of his administration. he is gog to hit the grou .arunning he highter touch. place guitars, he is in a band. he did take part in a video with grover from sesame street to explaiwith united nations was. g to he is a very nice guy, " aggressively nice," very inclusive, wants to listen to all sorts of views. he is been criticized for meetings that are too long. but, whatever the case, i think familiarity to u.s. foreign policy which is what many of america's allies would lik >> a change in style but in terms of substance, what can we exct? trump whiskey nine getting america what he saw as other people's -- was keen on getting america out of what he saw as other people's wars. >> i think biden

and as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee gives him both the backgrounds and the perspective to be an effective leader of the free world. and i think you'll do that, you know, in a very responsible manner. and that he, his priority is to get the us recovered from the pen damage to get our economy strong again and to work locally for cooperation to address issues like climate change that, that those are, those are his priorities. yes, of course, always to support us values, human rights, democracy, protection of minorities, of minorities, another and other groups. you know, those are the, his priorities are going to be aligned with traditional american values. ok. well best of luck to him. definitely and thank you very much. for to talking to us, it's been a great pleasure talking to you and the great honor. as i said before, i'm going to be with you, but i can't thank you for watching call to see you again. here at the worlds apart next week is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the r

biden's familiarity with international affairs because of his past as the head of the senate foreign relations committee and also as a former vice president that it's those qualities it's those things that will work to his advantage in repairing relationships with the international community do you agree that for him it splits him on a different as many former presidents because he has the old. foreign policy expertise but i think that his priority will be to deal with the mystic. with the mystic politics because that. will be as we just heard he will be. a son as the minutes of the likely by a republican so he has to show his ability to lead the u.s. . and to heal the internal. wins that he has that the us has experienced over the last few years before he can go to go to foreign office far enough as is usually a 2nd priority for us president and some mainly when this. first government that's not their husband matthew alone i get your take on this question you heard ms are there and he was saying that joe biden is going to have to really focus 1st on domestic policy when do you think joe biden can start

he was that when he was in the senate foreign relations committee and time was its chairman in the 1990 s. and start of the new millennium and he was that most clearly when he was vice president and was visiting georgia and ukraine to stir up the feelings of employing russian of minority minorities and to turn them into majorities in favor of nato membership do you think that the 8 year express our intentions you think the e.u. is genuinely relieved trumps gone or do you think it could end up disappointed with biden i mean especially with his hands being tied by republican senate. well the area where a president has the greatest freedom of maneuver is precisely foreign affairs and it is unlikely that the republican led majority if there is a majority will know that only in january when georgia has its run off. the republican majority in the senate would frustrate the policies of joe biden in international affairs particularly as regards with asians with traditional allies in europe so in that sense there is little to fear. for europe in job items being and lame duck president which is w

he spent decades on the senate foreign relations committee and its chairman in 2002, biden didn't just vote for the iraq war. he helped pave the way for the lies that sold it to the american people by controlling which voices his committee would allow to testify the long suffering iraqi people need to know the regime change will benefit them. biden has voted to cut social security 6 times and consistently backed crime bills disproportionately affect black americans. as vice president, he was a key player in an obama administration that deported more undocumented immigrants than the trumpet, ministration to and built those cages. now holding those children along the border, the ones who can't find their parents, it's easier to tell your kids, character matters as joe biden reform. it's a pertinent question, but the talking heads at c.n.n. and m s n b c. just don't seem to think that now's the time joe biden's telling point as a politician, as an elected official can't be that he's not trump. what we need to be doing is holding him accountable. and that means holding him accountable to t

world works and joe biden certainly understands that from all of his experience on the senate foreign relations committee and as vice president of the united states a lot of changes to be expected aaron collyer from foreign college for len thank you so much pleasure having. let's check out more of their reactions to the job i'm spectrally if you're regions are as affected by who is in the white house and latin america our correspondent in the colombian capital bogota has reactions from people there. at least i'm very happy i mean u.s. citizen 2 and i voted for biden regardless of republican or democratic policies what you want is a leader who is morals and ethics resemble your own and that was certainly joe biden and not don't know trump so i'm very happy. there's 3 more phillies i'm very happy that trump lost i'm not a big fan of biden but trump must go he was damaging the country tree much so we're very happy he's leaving. we really says. survivor you in my terms it wasn't the best and i think that influenced the result a lot. when i think biden's an interesting person but the heresy is very important

i think is decades of experience on the world stage and has chairman of the senate foreign relations committee gives him both the backgrounds and the perspective to be an effective leader of the free world. and i think he'll do that, you know, in a very responsible manner. and that he, his priority is to get the us recovered from the pen damage to get our economy strong again and to work globally for cooperation to address issues like climate change that that's those are, those are his priorities. yes, of course, always to support us values, human rights, democracy, protection of minorities, of shaved minorities and other and other groups. you know, those are the, his priorities are going to be aligned with traditional american values. ok, well best of luck here. definitely, and thank you very much for talking charles, it's been a great pleasure talking to here and great on or as i said before, good to be with you. and thank you for watching coke this year again here on the walls apart. next week our employers will salute bullshit. bush sleeves. sure. but the truth to w. clubbable was if you'r

trend of american foreign policy and let's face it joe biden you know a member of the senate foreign relations committee for so many years the chairman of the foreign relations committee here is someone who comes to international relations with a deep background compared to the current president so the sign of relief is having a predictable person who does understand the complexities of u.s. foreign policy within a world of many competing interests many conflicting values and someone who will. be true to his word and not just look at the the world is a series of single singular transactions between one nation and another well it was exactly that attitude that led to relations between germany and the u.s. being very strained over the last 4 years let's take a listen to how german foreign minister heiko moss reacted to the news i find sanctuary. i'm relieved because at least now there's a result but also because the person who's been elected has shown in the last 48 hours that he acts very responsibly he's someone who wants to reunite his country and tackle global issues that's why we're looking forward t

the campaign although certainly i supported joe biden i did work for 14 years for the senate foreign relations committee and he was one of the senior members of that committee . first i think just to clarify the situation there's no doubt that joe biden is the president elect and will take office at noon on the 20th of january next year there are there are no court cases that have any merit. the margins are such that they are not capable of being disputed and to be also clear joe biden won the election by 5000000 votes the most votes that any candidate has ever gotten this donald trump for the 2nd time in a row lost the popular vote and if the us 'd didn't have a constitutional system that was created in the 18th century in significant part to benefit slave owners he would never have been president but. you know that be that as a matter biden is somebody who knows the world extremely well he's he's going to be a steady hand you are not going to wake up in the morning and wonder about some change of policy that's been put off in tweets or some for a trail of an ally what you're going to see is back to a

lindsey graham, republican of south carolina, a very important figure on the senate foreign relations committee in the senate judiciary committee. be important to see what he says. so it's not necessarily the number of republicans, but some of these key prominent republicans to see where they come out. i'm into i was interested to read in the things they said to joe biden. she says, contrary to media reports and insinuations, my decision was not made out of fair or favoritism. can you explain that for us and what he's getting at there? there's been a that there's been an interesting back and forth. i think behind the scenes here various various parties, various constituencies, putting different kinds of pressure on her certainly from the white house there is tremendous pressure on her not to let the transition go forward even in the initial protocols. so there, there certainly were some compromises that could have been had the general services administration could have allowed the biden to buy in team, you know, in the door just a crack with these initial protocols. but they didn't even do that

he was chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and as vice president, he didn't always agreeything president obama did in foreign policy and he very carefully has brought around him people who he's known and trust, people on team biden more than team obama. it's going to be a democratic administration, it will be in some areas, it's going to be similar to an obama administration but we will see joe biden's fingerprints all over this foreign policy. paul: well, one of the things these pics believe, multilateral institutions. they talk about american leadership but they talk about american leadership constrained by these institutions. this will not be an american unilateral decision making team. isn't that very much like famously one anonymous obama aid called leading from behind? walter: well, i think ways in which it will be generically like the obama administration are going to be more interest in the un, more in keeping europe on board is critical for american foreign policy a special in dealing with issues like the nuclear program. to me, this is part of what a democratic

. >> senior advisor for the senate foreign relations committee, thanks for being here.own the rules so people at home if they are following along know what we are talking about. my question is can the current administration object to any of this? >> the logan act prohibits private parties from engaging in diplomatic or foreign relations with other nations in an effort to undermine or undercut the us government's position. what's going on here is people who believe they won the election and talking to foreign leaders, congratulatory phone calls and discussing foreign affairs of the united states, this happened in the trump administration in 2016 after the president had been elected, before he took office, that led to issues but there is a long history of this happening. the question is why is the logan act be in of today and why was it "back then also? shannon: great question we are wondering and we have some media headlines because coverage of this has been a little different, back of the neck accusations were swirling around michael, washington post, did michael flynn

for example, john kerry, former secretary of state and former chairman of the senate foreign relations committeeal envoy on climate and he will jump-start our reengagement with the world on climate. linda thomas-greenfield will represent us at the united nations after i think 35 years as a foreign service officer. she will bring new skill and new depth and new expertise to that particular role. tony blinken, who has been nominated for secretary of state, is someone who was deputy secretary of state, deputy national security adviser, worked on the hill, has worked in the white house. a great deal of experience. i, frankly, think most americans are looking for a government that is run and led by people who know what they are doing in these jobs, not folks who are learning on the job. >> how much of the president-elect's decision making is based on who he thinks can get confirmed if there is a still a republican majority in the senate? is that a driving factor in at least some of the selection process? >> wolf, to be reasonable, getting confirmation and getting confirmation relatively quickly has t

bonnie: the great thing about biden is he has been a member of the senate foreign relations committeeost a hundred years. he is a diplomat. he understands what needs to be done. he is very proud of his irish ancestry and roots. i think with the people of britain have to understand is joe biden, and this is true of the congress and senate too, there are no votes in harming ireland in any way. the president-elect will be very conscious of that. very careful of that. the present government will really get clear that ireland is very important to him. whatever agreement comes up has to include ireland in a good way. laancine: how will kama harris change u.s. politics? bonnie: she already has by being elected. it is an incredible act. i am very proud of the united states, actually, in all of this mayhem. that the american people were able to do this. what she has done is give a kind of sanction and permission to young people, especially young people of color and children of immigrants, to feel the american dream is possible for them. inis an experiment, not set stone. what this president ha

tony blanken, the secretary of state has worked with biden when he was a senator in senate foreign relations committeeink they go back 20 years. did you have a close, personal relationship with president trump before he asked you to be his national security adviser? >> i did not. i don't think that's disqualifying. i think the question is how the senior advisers work together with the president. those who have worked with a president like this for so long have an advantage in a sense. they also risk succombing to group think too. it's a difficult plans. each president will have to pick his or her own team. biden has picked most of his. we'll see what happens next. >> president trump repeated his wish today for his america first approach to remain in place. biden's nominees made it clear they intend to reengage globally. you heard what general mattis said, walk away from that america first. it seemed like president trump was responding, trying to belittle general mattis. what do you say to this little uproar? >> it's just typical the trump administration. donald trump doesn't know what america first me

arthel: you're right having been the chair of the senate foreign relations committee twice, mr. d in foreign policy. what can we expect from his foreign-policy as potus. >> the first thing, we are already seeing it, the list of experts that he is bringing in, i have to say is a recovering diplomat myself, i am heartened to see a number of former career diplomats, not just political types on the list of the landing team for the state department and other security agencies, i think it's important for joe biden to focus on coalition building, we've got to repair the alliances, he's going to need them because the united states has lost an awful lot of credibility and influence, we will need to focus on repairing the international institutions and biden has said on the first day he is rejoining the world health organization, that will help a lot in the battle against covid because we don't get out of this on our own. arthel: with the eye on global strategy, what are the most consequential differences from when the obama biden administration was in charge and with the biggest challenge

getting a lot of attention, deep roots with joe biden, served as staff director of the senate foreign relations committeeden chaired, biden's national security adviser at the vp office, what do you know about him and what does this message in this picks into the world? >> i think the most interesting thing about all of biden's picks news they are the opposite of what donald trump is tried to do over the past four years which is put america first, these pics are a reversion to the obama administration. if you like what was going on in the obama administration where america was last, bowing to foreign nations you will love what president biden is picking for his cabinet. tony lincoln served in the clinton and obama administrations but once he left the obama administration in 2017 he cofounded an organization consulting firm that helps companies outsource their jobs to china. the exact opposite of what donald trump is doing in office. >> let me show our viewers the statement from the biden folks on these nominations, their accomplishments in diplomacy are unmatched, we can't meet the end profound challenges

carley: joining us now, chief counsel and senior advisor for the senate foreign relations committee,l jaffer. we have a new phase in the president's legal fight to hopefully regain control of the white house. rudy giuliani was on with maria bartiromo yesterday. he says he has proof that the election was rigged by the dominion voting machine. he calls it a far left company with ties to venezuela and china. but the department of homeland security has called this the most secure election in history. so where do you come down on this? >> well, look, i mean, if rudy's got evidence that there were votes being illegally cast, he's got to come out with it. rudy mentioned 630,000 votes illegally cast in pennsylvania. we're not sure what the number means. it's important for the american public to hear the evidence, bring it before court and get the case add jud adjudicated. we have a lot of appearances, not a lot of details. this is what the american people are looking for and what they need to present to the courts over the next few days. jillian: let's get a look at the ongoing lawsuits. the

has spent eight years as vice president, and before that, decades as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. he's well prepared. the team he is bringing in around him serve as cabinet level or some sort of cabinet level. it's a very experienced team, and i think president-elect biden is doing exactly the right thing, picking up the phone and calling our allies. who have felt abused over the years with the trump administration and their policies. if we are going to influence china's behavior or russia, or pyongyang, it will not be u.s. versus one of them, it will be all of us, our allies, both on the atlantic side, pacific side, working together. president-elect biden is positioned -- well-positioned to reach out to world leaders. guy:guy: admiral, one of the defining aspects of the trump administration was its activity for germany. germany in particular and is lack of defense spending. do you think that has disappeared under a biden administration? admiral stavridis: certainly the ,eflexive concerns about allies generally speaking, disappears. this is an incoming administration, i know all

i want to go now next in line, you were chief counsel at senate foreign relations committee when johnary of state and anthony blinken was confirmed as deputy secretary of state, now president-elect biden's climate czar and secretary of state respectively. why does and blinken stand the heat about trade and china during the senate confirmation hearings? >> well, it's a great question. it depends on what his answers are going to be. you know, if he takes a forward-leaning policy on china, he should, i think he'll get through be a third term of the obama administration, however, some criticize the president-hecht for bringing back familiar faces. how do you see it? especially in the area of national security and foreign policy where a depth of experience and extensive foreign relationships matter? >> well, look, i actually think in a lot of ways this is really the biden team. tony blinken has been with biden for almost a decade, he was with him at the white house. jake was his national security adviser in the white house, so this really is a biden team. yes, they were folks in the obama

you know but vice president biden is a well known commodity he was in the senate foreign relations committee for many years has always been a true translate assist he's well known in germany and i think i think there's a high hopes high expectations that he wants that he would mend some of these these challenges and address the differences that we existed between washington and berlin over the last several several years with that set people there is an enormous challenges in the united states economy that's been hard hit by cope it and so i think he 1st and foremost is going to have to be a domestic president to address those challenges but no doubt he's been quite clear as president biden will get if elected he is certainly going to go to his european allies 1st much like president obama did very early in his presidency to try to ensure that this pet rocks relationship is there to ensure our security in our economy and i think president biden is about transatlantic cism present trump otherwise is and is proving the ops. got about a minute left let me ask you biden and obama they were agains

blinken has been at joe biden's side for 18 years, back to when he was chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, he's been deputy national security adviser, deputy secretary of state. we had a wonderful constructive hour-long conversation just a few days ago about how we will work together and i look forward to enthusiastically supporting his nomination. >> all right. well, you're taking it better than columnist george will. let's also talk about who else president-elect biden might add. last night he gave a hardy yes answer when lester holt asked him would a republican or republicans be part of his administration? so who might those be? who are the republicans that president-elect biden thinks he could add and work with? >> well, alisyn, i of course can't speak to that on the news, but one of the things that was most striking about president-elect biden's successful electoral coalition was he had enthusiastic support from all across the democratic party from elizabeth warren and bernie sanders to more moderate elements of our party, but he was also publicly endorsed by senator jeff flake, by c

and wolf, tomorrow the senate foreign relations committee is due to hear evidence on this.the nigerian authorities have now decided that they will be holding a press conference solely to respond to our reporting. so we'll keep you posted, wolf. >> amazing reporting. we're grateful to you and your team. nima elbagir reporting for us from london. thank you, thank you, thank you very much. there's more breaking news we're following here in "the situation room." awful news. the united states has just surpassed a quarter million covid-19 deaths as the pandemic rages out of control across so much of the united states. we'll have much more on the deepening crisis when we come back. at dell technologies, we started by making the cloud easier to manage. but we didn't stop there. we made a cloud flexible enough to adapt to any size business. no matter what it does, or how it changes. and we kept going. so you only pay for what you use. because at dell technologies, we stop...at nothing. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ engines revving ] ♪ it's amazing to see them in the wild like th-- shhh.

senate approval, and some top republicans have been silent about the nominations. mcconnell, no comment. the foreign relations chairman, risch, no comment. marco rubio, acting chairman of the senate intel committeehat silence? is that somehow related to still wanting to placate trump? >> this is a party that has been utterly spineless during an attempt to overturn a democratic election. that silence can almost be read not only as fear of trump but is not particularly adversarial. each of these folks will judge individually. republicans are going to do what republicans do, but the silence to date says more about what they have done until the gsa announcement, which is about damn time, their complete fear of standing up to donald trump and standing up for principles, than blocking this transition, which now many are acknowledging as real. remember, we still have more foreign leaders who congratulated president-elect biden than republican senators. let's see if that ratio changes in the next 24 hours. >> susan, some of these names are familiar to people. some of them are new but some are familiar, even if not in the roles they're in now, because of president obama. these are names that had been aro

that is something he likes a lot as a longtime member of senate foreign relations committee, a former vice president who traveled around the world. he is enjoying that. john, we'll see how long this cooler temperatures prevail. that's the tone he's trying to set publicly to make sure that he is not viewed as being upset by any of this. some democrats are upset that he, at least, for all we can tell is not, john. >> kaitlan, this is veterans day, a day of national holiday we pay tribute to americans who put on the uniform, defended their country, past and present and future even. it's normally a day after a presidential election, especially transfer of power, that america makes a statement to the world, the current president goes as commander-in-chief to veterans. we saw the president-elect going to an event on his own. that is supposed to send a signal, wow, america has peaceful transition of power. we haven't seen the president in several days. we see on his tweets that he remains defiant saying i'm not giving up. >> he does. speaking of the message sent to world leaders, look what t

a long relationship with so many world leaders from his time as the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee first served alongside a young senator barack obama. so of course his time as vice president of the united states, where a big role he had was traveling around the world. so many, we heard church bells in paris, fireworks in london. this is indeed a moment the world is watching and he has heard more from world leaders than from the president of the united states, donald j. trump. now i can tell you the motorcade is coming for senator kamala harris. vice president-elect kamala harris. she is arriving here in wilmington and she of course will be speaking first tonight and she'll be introducing president-elect joe biden. >> this is the motorcade for the vice president-elect. the secret service has really beefed up its security presence for both the vice president-elect and the president-elect in wilmington, delaware which is the normal tradition once an election has been decided, determined the secret service beefs up security for the president-elect and the vice president-elect. jeff ze
