the united states commitment to nato is clear. as we speak, president trump's is developing plans to make sure the strongest military in the world becomes stronger still. mr.me are sure you secretary that in the united states, we are about the process of strengthening our military and restoring the arsenal of democracy working with members tocongress we intend increase military funding to make it possible for us to provide for the common defense of the people of the united states but also meet the obligations that we have with our treaty allies including in this his store treaty. america therefore i can say with confidence, america will do our part but europe's defense requires europe's commitment. as much as ours. at the whale summit in 2014, all 28 members of the nato alliance declared their intention to move towards a minimum security investment of 2% of their gross domestic product on defense within a decade. as a candidate for office, president trump's called attention repeatedly to the fact that for too long, for too many, th

made into the united states. and the japanese businesses -- and those japanese businesses have created a large number of jobs. the mutually beneficial economic relationship has been built by japan and the united states with president trump taking on the leadership, i am sure there will be measurable investments to be made. i am sure you would appreciate the speed, comfort, and safety technology.est if you ride the train from washington d.c. to new york, -- we will be able to contribute to trump's growth strategy. there will be more new jobs in the united states. but to further deepen bilateral economic relations between deputy prime minister axel and the vice president of japan, there will be a dialogue to be held. and we have agreed on this. furthermore, in the asia-pacific , wee we see dramatic growth will expand free trade and investment which will be a big chance for both japan and the united states. but it must be done in a fair manner. never showed a state of company -- state or company backed by state capit

mexico and the united states. let me stop you right there. powerful statement that you have just made. they are all ways to make mexico pay. he has to get the wall built with congress funds, but he will put tariffs on you, he said 20% maybe. he will charge you more to send remittances back home. he will find all sorts of ways to make the mexican people pay for his wall. let me tell you, every action has a reaction. if he taxes imports to the united states coming from mexico, we will tax exports of the united states to mexico. as you know, we have an even—even situation on trading. we sell every year to the united states close to 300 billion us dollars‘ worth of goods and products. and they sell to mexico almost the equivalent amount. so, nobody will win in a trade war. everybody will lose, starting with the us consumer, that will have to pay 20% more for the car he's buying, 20% more for the guacamole that he's buying, 20% more for the tequila that he's buying... i dare say that americans can live with a little less guacamole and a little les

on the united states' whole hearted and unequivocal support of the idea of a united europe. the world would be a decidedly were notce if europe united. americans know best what great value it is to be united and that becoming divided is the prelude to a fall. it is in the interest of us all to prevent the disintegration of the west. as for our continent, in this respect, we will not invent anything better than the european union. matters, i these heard today from vice president pence, three times, yes. after such a positive discussion, both europeans and americans must simply practice what they preach. on saturday, in munich, you during your trip across europe in 1977, with your older brother, you found yourself at some point in west berlin. marveling at what you saw. and then crossing through checkpoint charlie only to see the shadow of repression hanging over people. have -- i had been living under the shadow for over 30 years. what i vividly remember from my own past is how after martial in was imposed in poland december 1981, president ronald reagan urged all americans to

the united states cannot deport without the cooperation of their home country. mexico has been a highly cooperative part when it comes to deporting mexican immigrants. mexico is also aggressive at the southern border on behalf of the united states the last return was 140,000 central americans who were bound for the united states but the administration's plans for the more aggressive enforcement of law and the rhetoric surrounding it has tested the patience. in particular bees and homeland security guidance laid out the plan for aggressive enforcement of immigration law was bad enough given its contents were the us-mexico elements but also to be sent back to mexico if they arrived through mexico to a week of their hearings. mexico went ballistic and it made it clear they will never accept the positions on what mexico must do. this matters because beyond poisoning the climate to reduce the tensions in the bilateral relationship is threatened position means it has the capacity to clog up the detention system thereby complicating the deportation process. mexico's fo

they use that land route to get to the united states. it is important to note how much attention and energy to you want to give to the issue of immigration, which is concerning to people but really about some of the lowest levels that it has been. by the focusing so much on the u.s. mexico relationship, vocus and so much tension on these -- on the southern border, you could look at other issues which are much more significant. ,eople overstaying their visas that is something congress has tried to address and will be taking a look at, but is a potentially more significant way to cut down on the population, some 11 million that are here, undocumented, rather than focusing so much on the u.s. mexico relationship. you made a good point. ,ome of the rhetoric we hear some of the facts get lost. studies have shown that immigrants really help. they drive the economy. they are safer communities. some of the safest cities in the united states are midsize or large and that are on the u.s. border. when we hear about crime and bad dudes and we hear th

the united states. extremely unfair transaction. we're going to work with mexico, we're going to make it a fair deal for both parties. i think that we're going to get along very well with mexico. they understand and we understand, you probably have noticed that ford is making billions of dollars of new investments in this country. you saw intel the other day announce that, because of what i've been doing and what i'm doing in terms of regulation, lowering taxes, etc., they're coming in with billions and billions of dollars of investment and thousands and thousands of jobs. general motors like-wise is expanding plants and going to build new plants. fiat chrysler was at a meeting where they're doing the same. we have so many people that want to come into the united states. it's actually very exciting. i think it's going to be a very exciting period of time for the united states and for the workers of the united states. because they have been truly the forgotten man and forgotten woman. it's not going to be

the united states is a global power. we are not a regional power, we are a global power and we have to balance interest and commitment across multiple theaters. the fact that asia's strategic weight is growing and increasing importance goes back, the recognition of that goes back across multiple administrations, at least 15 years, backing the recognition of capabilities has proven challenging. the challenge for the top priority, economic, geopolitical, military. not just a majority of the world, military spending, the economies in asia. asia is increasingly the scene of competition, the chinese military modernization. china has moved from being a continental power, largely self regarding to a composite or amphibious power, more oriented -- posing challenges to the united states and challenges for our allies as well. as a result we can no longer take for granted our ability to project power into the western pacific. we shouldn't think there is some impermeable wall to doing so but we should no longer take that for granted.

as the united states stood with europe through the end of the 20th century, europe stood tall with united states at the outset at the 21st. the american people will be forever grateful. i have the privilege to see our bond firsthand. two weeks after those attacks on 9/11, as a member of congress i travel to germany to participate in international conference on terrorism. i will never forget what i saw as we arrived at the american embassy in berlin. a wall of flowers, 10 feet high, surrounding it. tokens of condolences, support and prayers of your people for ours. for the first and only time in its history nato invoked article five for filling our commitment to confront our common enemies together and the american people will never forget it. in the global war against radical islamic terrorists we have been bound by shared sacrifice. for the past decade and a half the nations of nato have answered the call to rid the world of this great evil. from afghanistan to iraq, to many conflicts across the globe, our sons and daughters have spot together on the field of battle. thousands citizens c

to the united states that's 3% % but that's the rate the united states charges trade with the rest of world. mexico has a slightly higher rate, 8%. so the united states exports to mexico would hurt more than mexican exports to the united states. at an agricultural goods, mexico's compliant rate is 20%. so this outcome would hurt the united states more than it would hurt mexico in terms of experts -- exports. and finally mexico's made it clear that it will respond to any u.s. import taxes with taxes of its own on trade. with my final comment, more productively, mexico is also aggressively playing the china carpet we've all heard the numbers that imports from mexico into the united states contain 40% u.s. content. china is only 4%. mexico is using that fact with the trump administration but mexico also realizes that the united states needs it to remain globally competitive. if the united states wants to reduce the trade deficit with china it needs to trade with mexico because we produce things together and produce things competitively together. and finally if taxes are imposed on trade

i some estimates, almost 2 million individuals were deported from the united states in the 1930's. timate almost 60% of those that were deported were united states citizens. and they were deported for but one reason -- they just happened to be of mmexican descent.. amy: the state of california went on to issue a formal apology for its role in the expulsions and built a memorial in downtown los angeles to commemorate the victims. but many fear that history is now on the verge or repeating itself are ready. for more, we go to los angeles, california, where we're joined by the preeminent scholar on this often overlooked chapter of american history, francisco balderrama, professor of american history and chicano studies at california state university, los angeles. he is co-author of "decade of betrayal: mexican repatriation in the 1930's." professor balderrama, welcome to democracy now! i think for many, especially young people, but i am sure many more, do not know this chapter of american history. can you lay it o out for u us wt actually h happened yethough >> you are right that it is

it is a matter for the government of the united states. but on the face of it, this executive order has consequences for some british citizens. for that reason i spoke yesterday to the u.s. british administration and to general kelly, from homeland security. i'm able to provide the following clarification. the general principle is all british passport holders remain welcome to travel to the u.s. we have received assurances -- we have received assurances from the just embassy this skifd will make no difference to any british passport holder irrespective of their country of birth or whether they hold another passport. in any case the executive order is a temporary measure for 90 days until the u.s. system has ordered security precaution. this is a highly controversial u.s. policy which has caused unease and i repeat this is not an approach this government would take. but let me conclude -- let me conclude by reminding the house of the vital importance of this country's alliance with the united states in defense intelligence which i'm sure the

the entire united states. so i find it's unconstitutional what the trump administration has done and for the sake of uniformity of approach, i'm going to apply this to the entire united states. and technically he has the right to do so because he's a federal judge. he's not a local judge. but it's unusual. usually federal judges don't to that. >> and it was only a matter of time before the trump administration responded, the white house calling the order outrageous, vowing to defend it. can they succeed? >> that's a great question. the boston appellate court that looked at the order up there ruled in favor of the trump administration. so on balance, the trump administration has some good arguments that they can bring to a higher court to say that this lower court judge made a mistake. but the appellate court out on the west coast, the 9th circuit court is a liberal court, and a court that might rule against the trump administration. and if that happened, it will all wind up in the united states supreme court. >

they have granted this authority to the president of the united states. directly from statute, whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens would be detrimental, he may by proclamation and for such period of time as he may deem necessary suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. that can't be any more clear. congress has entrusted this because we know the executive branch is the branch that can move quickly enough to protect us in time of danger, and it's the president's judgment and discretion that that authority has been granted to him by congress. it couldn't be more constitutional. >> congressman, just about a year ago, some of president obama's executive orders were struck down by a judge in texas, and at the time donald trump said the courts did the right thing. so what's different in this situation? >> well, then -- i'm just going to say it straight out. donald trump was wrong on that from a constitutional perspective. i'

sessions as the attorney general of the united states. as this country's top law enforcement official, the attorney general must stand up and fight for all americans. the attorney general must provide a voice for the folks who often aren't able to speak for themselves, and the attorney general must enforce the law as it is written not as how the president wishes it was. madam president, i believe that mr. sessions has proven time and time again that he does not fulfill these qualifications and therefore i will oppose his nomination for attorney general. mr. sessions opposed the reauthorization of the violence against women act. this landmark legislation that protects women from domestic violence and sexual assault, and brings perpetrators to justice. in my state of montana, this law helps provide over $10 million every year to support women and children. these are critical resources that make a real difference in the lives of women, children, and their families, and they keep our communities safe. the violence against women act supports sh

the united nations vit al sl has died. we are getting details on the sudden death of the diplomat from russia to the united nations since 2006. we'll bring you more on this developing story as more information comes in. vitali, the russian ambassador of the united nations, has died. still ahead, as the search for a national security advisor heats up, we're going to have a former member of the trump transition team join us to see what she thinks about the president's choices out there. there you see her, congresswoman marcia blackburn. she's standing by live. we'll discuss that and a whole lot more with her. plus, we're keeping a close eye on protests happening across the country right now. take a look at live pictures coming in from chicago. demonstrators hitting the streets against the trump administration. we'll have updates throughout this hour. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for the strength and energy to get back to doing...

being made in the united states. those japanese businesses have created a large number of jobs. the mutually beneficial economic relations have been built in the japan and the united states. with president trump taking on the leadership i am sure there , will be major infrastructure change made, including more trains. lots of you who have roads appreciate you would the speed, comfort and safety , with the latest technology from washington dc. to new york, where trump tower hour would it one take to write this mag-lift train from washington dc to new york. with our high level of capability we will be able to contribute to president trump's growth strategy. there will be even new jobs in -- more new jobs born in the united states. to further deepen this by lateral relation -- bilateral , there will be a dialogue held, and we have agreed on this. furthermore, in asia-pacific where we see dramatic growth, to expand free trade and investments, this will be a big chance for both japan and the united states. of course, it mu

the united states. goods and services do cross the border each way, every single day. and this means a lot of -- millions of jobs for canadians. and good jobs for canadians. so we are always focusing on these jobs, but there are also good jobs, millions of jobs, in the united states that depend on those relationships between our two countries. so when we sit down, as we did today, and as our teams will be doing in the weeks and months to come, we will be talking about how we can continue to create good jobs for our citizens on both sides of the border, and during this exercise, we continue to understand that we have to allow this free flow of goods and services and we have to be aware of the integration of our economies. which is extremely positive for both our countries. this is the focus that we will have in the coming weeks and months to come. prime minister trudeau: we're aware of the fact that much of our economy depends on good working relationships with the united states. good integration with the

the united states says, oh, threat. it's a threat if this new government is going to sort of align with the soviet union then that's a problem that needs to be rectified when they assassinated him, so i don't really need to know for you to see that kind of conflict into which these african american ambassadors were stepping as kind of the face of the united states in africa, kind of putting the best foot forward even while the united states foreign policy was doing something praps a little bit less than savory talking about the cold war context. you cannot think about these traveling throughout the world let alone africa without situating that firmly within the cold war. there is other con tooek-- cont. there is no surprise that you have african american musicians in africa trying to best face ton united states. there is also context of vietnam which is going rather badly for the united states. the mood has soured about u.s. foreign policy generally. it put some of these on rather awkward position to feel like they are d

in the united the numbers have grown significantly over time. today, we are talking about maybe 17,000 mexican students in the united states. in terms of obstacles and i would say probably the biggest one has to do with funding. it's very difficult to afford an education in the united states, unless you have one of the scholarships. i think that will be the biggest barrier for a young person in mexico thinking of coming to study here. >> how far along are you in your research? what do you hope, when it's done, that will happen? what do you hope people will get out of it? rachel: i met the states now for writing up the research. i've done all the archival and interview work. now i'm producing the chapters. i'm hoping to eventually turn into a book. i think today, we have to think hard about the current climate climate of-- anti-mexican sentiment promoted by the administration and the impact that could have on not just mexican students, but all mexicans thinking to come to the united states, whether it is to work, to do travel, to study. i think w

president of the united states. it is a testament to the fact the american dream is very much alive are those willing to work for it. >> all c-span programs are available at c-span.org on our homepage or by searching the video library. >> this afternoon, new america hosts a conversation on african-americans and the trump administration. we are live at 12:15 eastern right here on c-span2. over on c-span a look at the future of trade between the us, canada and mexico. we are live at the atlantic council at 12:30 eastern. >> the australian ambassador to the united states talked about relations between the us and australia and international trade policy at the chicago council on human affairs. this runs about an hour. >> it is my pleasure to welcome the ambassador to the chicago council on global affairs. in an effort to take your mind off the record-breaking heat wave that at the moment is across the east coast of australia, we have taken the opportunity to turn the temperature down a little bit for you in chicago. it i

the european union. we can do one thing. that is unit, fight back with the european union and i hope it will not only be the better and, i support the letter of i hope all european leaders have to courage to stand up and fight back this nationalists and populist who want to destroy us. [applause] >> thank you. mr. zimmer now. >> thank you very much. i am this is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, we discuss the policies of the united states and more particularly mr. trump. thank you for having established the link to the time when mr. trump signed his decree to stop the travel of muslim citizens from the 7th of january and it wasn't a matter of chance. it was quite deliberate because of the same day he talked about his aunts dying in the concentration cam and said he knew what it was like when people were being persecuted for his beliefs and trump said he was a bad actor. this is the kind of level of rhetoric we are going to hear. if we are to convince that the european system has something to counter this, something to co

it's worse than that, it's not making the united states safe. if we truly wanted to target islamic jihadism and the very radicals and that is a real danger that has caused massive deaths in paris, in nice, in san bernardino, we wouldn't be targeting how certain american allies are allowing so much funding from their citizenship to go to these movements. the previous administration said it publicly. the seed money to isis came from saudi arabia, so if you want to be serious about security, we should be talking about these things. >> if you're argument has been three times a night, that this makes us less safe, i hear you loud and clear, how does it make us less safe? >> because we're focusing on what is not an actual threat. it's taking our attention away from what could be a threat and the things we need to do. in that sense it's diverging our attention and resources toward the right things. >> thank you for your work. >> thank you so much. >>> up next, ron suskind and his son owen, stay with us. >>> ron suskind is a best selling author who has w

it says led by the united states. and has doubled the landing forces attached to the 6th fleet, the marine compliment with the slips, the em peeralist -- in particular the le bonn neez people. that's typical of the type of statements that the soviet are making about the united states navy. and the marine core. it tells of imperialist, wall treat, so part. >> mr. alan, don't soviet and propaganda show america opposed to all color races. >> yes, i do. i seen that when i was serving in india. they try to make it appear that the americans are the most kras conscious people in the world. actually, the experience of people in that part of the world dealing with the americans is the best way to counter act that when our navial ships are stationed in that part of the world, and the armed services is the most useful way to combat that type of soviet propaganda. also last fall we are experience when marry anderson went up to the far end making her apersons as an american and speaking to the people about the racial questions in t

it's highly important, the relationship with the united states. i would really like to thank secretary tillerson and secretary kelly for their attendance, their presence here in mexico in a moment where we have notorious differences, the best way to solve them is through the dialogue, an honest dialogue, a clear dialogue, that financially can take place between two nations that have deep bonds and links of friendship, closeness, and of course of the society in our north america. we have dialogue of different topics on the agenda. we know that -- we acknowledge that this is a long term process, that it won't be necessarily simple what we are taking step towards the proper direction. and today we took some steps toward this positive directions. we have coincided in some issues. and we have the first one is the need, the need to continue working -- of continued our dialogue and to continue exchanging points of view so as to achieve agreements. for mexico, we have mentioned these, and we have expressed these to the secretary of state and the secretary

and this flow of -- the flow of illegal drugs flows this way into the united states. this is from drug enforcement agency. and i ask them, i say, i want know about the drug distribution in america, who controls it. i know the answer. but i asked the question so i've got their response. and that is, mexican drug cartels control almost all of the illegal drug distribution in the united states of america. they are the cartels that operate in every major city, that control the illegal drug supply in nearly every major city, and if there's a significant exception, it's the southern tip of florida, miami, where more of those drugs come out of south america, across through haiti, and are smuggling in -- smuggled into the united states, a lot by boat, coming through the caribbean and into miami and points along key west. that's more a haitian connection, south american connection, and to some degree, not -- to some degree a cuban connection. but, the balance of the illegal drugs distributed -- distributed in america are done so by the mexican drug cartels. and when i ask drug

we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in the "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> we're following multiple breaking stories right now. including a decision on the immediate fate of the president's controversial travel ban. the ninth circuit court of appeals says it will issue its ruling tonight on the trump administration's wish to reinstate the ban. and threats have been made against more than one federal judges who heard legal challenges to the president's executive order. we're told those judges now are receiving extra law enforcement proexit. also tonight the white house says the president has no regrets for slamming the judge who issued the travel ban. the verbal attacks on judges as disheartening and demoralizing. but mr. trump and the white house are denying that neil gorsuch directly criticized the president. they're claiming that richard blumenthal miss remitted the judge's comment even though three republicans have publicly confirmed what gore such said. also breakering, the

those lines that could threaten the united states. ing in john nilson wright, the head of the asia program at chatham house, live in paris this hour. so, you know, just first of all, talking about the fact this happened at a time where the japanese prime minister and the president of the united states are together, the timing of this, your response to that. >> well, i think this is straight out of the north korean playbook, very common, if you think back to 2013, 2009, where it transitions with new presidents coming in, it is very common for the north koreans to want to do something to grab their attention and this, of course, as we have seen, grabbed attention of countries in the region and, of course, president trump. but it is also consistent with a long-term strategy on the part of pyongyang to develop their ballistic missile capabilities and also their nuclear capabilities, what the north would like to do would accrue a nuclear device on a missile to threaten the neighbors. the good news, if there is any good news, is that this te

welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we're following the breaking news this hour out of north korea. i'm george howell. >> i'm paula newton. another ballistic missile test has taken place in direct violation of u.n. security council resolutions. north korea has launled dozens of missiles in the past but this is the first time since donald trump became u.s. president. >> the timing here is notable. the president is hoping the japanese prime minister shinzo abe on a state visit at his florida visit the missiles pose a direct threat to japan and south korea. mr. abe and mr. trump were briefed on the situation and appeared together to issue a joint statement condemn dg the test. let's listen. >> translator: north korea's most recent missile launch is absolutely intolerable. north korea must fully comply with the u.n. security council resolutions. during the summit meeting that i had with president trump, he assured me that the united states will always be with japan 100% and to demonstrate his determination as well as commit

as well and as long as we have that bias the unit's domestic do that. in terms of the taking names you can go back to south carolina. that's how governed which was you all are in this for the greater good and that's what we hope. when you tell me you're going to do something and you don't, that is where you take names. when you see there's someone that promises to do something and they don't, that's where we take names. so there's no special list in my drawer. in desk. it's more observations and trying to make sure that in the past, i think the previous administration had not been very strong when it cames to international issues. had not spoken out when something was wrong. had not necessarily really moved to be part of the peace process. what you're seeing with this administration is you're going to see a lot of action, 0 lot of participation and, yes, we are going to take names. we'll call them out. that's why we called out russia and we'll continue to do that as we see other issues come up. >> one question, please. madam ambassador if the us going to

i believe in the united states and protecting human rights. e of the united states in the united states security council. that is why i am calling for the united states to use its influence and consider the crime that happened to yazidi's as a genocide. preserve the right of those who suffered the injustice and oppression from this terrorist organization. now after all of what you heard , would you be surprised just of the i was surprised united states president's decision and order to ban iraqis from entering the united states? isn't it strange that the president of the united states will equalize between the victim and the executioner. i am agreeing with any president of any country to have its own policy and shouted you to preserve the country security and safety and its people. , the terrorism on its land, on behalf of the whole , and paid thousands of souls and wounded as a price of this war. thousands of widows and orphans were left behind. iraqi soldiers blood were mixed with the american soldiers blood on the iraqi soil. appreciate that

welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. we start tonight with breaking news. moments ago, during a gala at his resort in palm beach florida, president trump told reporters that he's confident his travel ban will be reinstated. the president's post comes as the department of justice formally challenges a federal judge's decision to temporarily block mr. trump's executive order, which bans citizens from seven muslim majority countries from traveling to the united states. cnn's sara sidner is outside the ninth circuit court of appeals, where the legal papers are going to be filed. sara, what happens next? >> reporter: so here is what we know as far as procedure. and it is all very procedural at this point. right now, there's a motion to appeal. the appeal has not actually been filed, but the notice of appeal has been filed with the court in washington. and from there, we're expecting the department of justice to file an appeal with the ninth circuit court. what will that then activate? it will activate likely three judges, who

and what about the united states navy and marine corps? ave a copy here of the soviet newspaper that was published. may 18 this year. it speaks about what is going on in the mediterranean. lebanon hangsgh militarythreat of intervention by the imperialist states led by the united states, the american command has doubled the lead it enforces -- landing forces attack -- attached to the sixth fleet street the imperialists are openly brandishing weapons. but no matter how the colonists try, they cannot intimidate the people of the middle east and the lebanese people who are depending the freedom and independence of their country. >> that is typical of the statements they are making about the united states navy and impure -- marine corps. mr. a lens don't the soviets , does they intend to show the americans are -- >> i also saw that when i was serving in india. they try to make it appear that the americans are the most race conscious people in the world. the experience of people in that part of the world really with americans is the best way to c

under the guidance of the united states. now, these things happen all the time. i understand the president was elected. we understand he was elected on the basis of a certain policy. we respect that. but there was an agreement between two nations. and before the election. the president had agreed to respect that agreement, given that we are close allies, and we agreed to honor the agreement. that is where it is it. host: what was the reason response in australia to the nature of that call? there wasted states, concern that it was seen as disrespectful towards the prime minister. ambassador hockey: well, you know, these conversations to happen between prime ministers and presidents. and i get that. i mean, i have been involved in, you know, honest and frank diplomatic discussions with people with my previous role as chair of the g-20. we had some pretty vigorous discussion. but you do that when you know that, you know, when you are speaking to your brother or your right? you have a vigorous discussion. and if people listen to

whoever the united states he? , it's the prerogative of the american people and we work constructively and honestly and loyally for the values continue to be shaped. that is what you do. and we are ever mined old that there are 150,000 dead american soldiers buried in between japan. america is mindful of that. all of those souls who fight and died for the values that made america great. and they will never leave and should never leave the asia-pacific region. of course the dynamic shifts. america is somehow expect dead to solve every problem around the world. i get the burden can sometimes be traveling to the american people. when you lose your job in chicago or detroit and jobs end up going to china or to eastern europe. sometime you don't feel as magnanimous as you might have china has lost 19 million manufacturing jobs between 1995 and 2005. automation, robotics, companies moving their manufacturing to achieve destination with low wages. it happens. the question is how do you live the time so that all votes are

big change of position after the united nations security council about russia. that is bringing in a stronger position on russia. theresa may meeting last week in washington with donald trump will be here and explaining to european leaders. the meetings she had. she will come with the message they need to pay more into nato. they need to pay up. this is important to president trump. they will be here talking about migration. malta is on the path of tens of thousands of migrants coming from north africa into europe. that obviously is a key concern for president trump as well. you know, one of the big narratives here is going to be that president trump, the eu feels is hostile to the european union. a letter written from the european parliament from the main political parties from the left and right and secenter of e political spectrum saying to the european commission that they don't want president trump's pick ted malick as u.s. ambassador to the eu. they say he is openly hostile to the eu. he is quoted in the past about the soviet union. he helped bring down tha

the united states' commitment to nato is clear. as we speak, president trump and our administration are developing plans to ensure that the strongest military in the world in the united states becomes stronger still. becomes stronger still. let me assure you, mr. secretary, that in the united states, we're about the process of strengthening our military and restoring the arsenal of democracy. working with members of congress, we intend to increase will congress, we intend to increase military funding to make it possible for us to provide for the common defense for the people of the united states, but also meet the obligations that we have with our treaty allies, including in this historic treaty. america, therefore, i can say with confidence -- america will do our part. but europe's defense requires europe's commitment as much as ours. at the wales summit in 2014, all 28 members of the nato alliance declared their intention to move towards a minimum security investment of 2% of their gross domestic product on defense within a decade

it is going to be a very exciting period of time for the united states and for the workers of the united states. because they have been truly the forgotten man and forgotten woman. it's not going to be forgotten anymore, believe me. so, our relationship with canada is outstanding. and we're going to work together to make it even better. as far as the southern border's concerned, we're going to get that worked out, we're going to make it fair, but we are going to make it so that everybody is happy. it's very important to me. thank you. thank you very much, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. [applause] >> this week, president trump had more members of his cabinet confirmed including treasury secretary steve mnuchin who was approved monday by nearly partyline vote. he was sworn in that same evening at the white house. this is just under 10 minutes. president trump: it is my great honor tonight to present to the american people our new treasury secretary of the united states, steven mnuchin. stephen i want to congratulate , you, a lot of people wanted that position, a lot

the way i think we should fight those deportations is in the united states. s law—enforcement and justice system which is a very transparent, open and fair system in general. and where there are a lot of courses that can be used to fight these deportations, to fight the absence of due process which is what these new guidelines signed yesterday by general kelly seemed to indicate. and where a series of important human rights considerations, for example not dividing families, parents who have american citizens ship, children etc, are taken into account. we should fight these tours thumbnail, fight them with lawyers, with money, with lobbies, everything we can because firstly these people have a right to be in the united states evenif right to be in the united states even if they entered without papers. they have since then sprung roots in the united states and that should be taken into the united states and that should be ta ken into account. the united states and that should be taken into account. the money you're talking about may come from the mexican governm

this indispensable nation, the united states. and when we turn off the lamp of liberty, when we no longer shine as a beacon to the refugees, thes a separational people around the world who are lookinged for a -- for a better life, who were called -- looking for a better life, who were called to our shores for our values and what we represent around the world and what we've always fought for and proved in actions beyond our words when that lamp goes out -- words, when that lamp goes out when we begin religious tests for the kinds of immigrants that we'll bring into this country, when we do things that are immediately politically popular but are not in the best traditions of this country, we lose that place of prominence around the world. not just to the countries and the decision makers within those countries, the kings and queens and presidents and prime ministers, we lose that place of prominence with the people around the world who have always looked to the united states for example and for leadership. so i ask my colleagues to

even if he has to go against the president of the united states. that, to me, is the ultimate in serving the people of this country. in many ways in the last several weeks i feel like we have been relitigating the 1960s and 1970s. when you talk about the liberties of the american citizens, whether you are talking about lgbt community or talking about government using backdoor devices to spy on american citizens or whether you're talking about immigrant rights, you're talking about the same things that people fought for in the 1960s and 1970s. it is no surprise that my colleague from massachusetts reflected on this in some of the comments that she made last night that raised so much concern on the floor. i supported her and her rights to make those comments. but these larger issues about how one wields power at the enormous office of responsibility of attorney general is what is at question here in the senate. now, i could go on this morning about many other issues that i am concerned about in the relation of the nexus of attorney general to the othe

the united states is a global power. not a regional power but a global power. and we are going to have to balance our interest and commitments across all theaters. the facts that asia's strategic wait is growing i meaning need to explain this. the reason for the priority is economics, geopolitical military. not just the majority of the world's military spending but the world's largest economies in asia as well. also, asia's increasingly the scene of great power and competition because of the rise of china and chinese military modernization. and china has moved from being a continental power to a composite more oriented toward the asian influence. as a result, we can no longer take for granted our ability to project power into the western pacific. we shouldn't think there is some imperimable way of doing so thought we should no longer take that capability for granted. the risk to u.s. forces and forces in the asia-pacific is going up. and that risk and growing chinese military capability has been the backdrop for increasing tensions related to territorial dispute

it's gotten more money from the united states. don't you know specifically the iranians stood to gain by this nuclear deal. >> the money they got from the united states was not connected to the iran nuclear deal. that was money to be involved because of the resolution of the hostage crisis in 1979. >> was that ransom? >> i don't believe it was. >> the argument was, the u.s. gave a billion and a half dollars in cash to the iranians in order to get those americans released. >> and what actually happened was not that. what they gave the billion and a half dollars for was the resolution of a claim that's been in the court system for nearly three decades and finally resolved at a fraction of what the iranians were asking for, it had nothing to do with the nuclear deal, it wasn't ransom payment for people, the effort by this administration to say otherwise and to put out false information on this, when that could lead to the unraveling of 24 deal, and the potential for a military conflict is very dangerous. >> there are some who suggest

the united states. there is no doubt there are still some undocumented immigrants, but we are seeing a net outflow. for mexico to being asked to paper wall to keep up their citizens were not going there is completely perverse. theree are seeing is that are central americans that come up through mexico, but mexico, in addition, been doing an incredible job for the united states on its own southern border of guatemala and belize. 170 5000 central americans. those are people that did not get to the u.s.-mexico border, those of people to united states government did not have to deal with, repatriate or report. host: is the wall necessary? guest: i don't think of all is necessary and i don't think it would work, either. there are a number of experiments with balls around the world and they tend not to be successful. what we have seen on the u.s.-mexico is that whenever you build a wall in a certain area regions, migrants have to change the routes or they develop new methods. there is the old joe, build a 20

the united states is the champion of democracy. donald, president, you are excellent businessman, but you have never been in the congress or been a governor. you have not experienced being in the public office, but you have fought the uphill struggle and fight for more than a year in the election campaign to become a new president, and this is the dynamism of democracy. i would like to celebrate and congratulate donald being sworn in as the president. united states is a country having the largest number of chances, opportunities in the world that has always been the case. right now. it will never change. that is the reason why automotive industries and other japanese businesses have built factories all over the united states to engage in local production here. lasts last year from japan to the united states there have been more than $150 billion of new investment being made into the united states with president trump taking on the leadership, i'm sure there will be major scale infrastructure investment that will be made, including
