sovereignty when speaking at the united nations general assembly in new york city. the president also called on other nations to isolate iran, saying the middle east nation was disrespectful of other nations borders. >> the assembly will hear an address by his excellency, donald trump, president of the united states of america. i request protocol to escort his excellency. >> on behalf of the general assembly, i have the honor to welcome to the united nations, his excellency donald trump, president of the united states of america. and to invite him to address the assembly. you have the floor, sir. president trump: madam president, mr. secretary general, world leaders, ambassadors, and distinguished delegates. one year ago i stood before you for the first time in this grand hall. i addressed the threats facing our world and i presented a vision to achieve a brighter future for all of humanity. today i share before the general assembly to share with you the extraordinary progress we have made. in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost a

at the united nations security council meeting. hello and welcome i'm touchy my great to have your company as you mentioned u.s. president dollar trump is about to chair the u.n. security council in new york people have started gathering there waiting for him to come in and start his remarks and be of course go there live as soon as he starts speaking you're looking at pictures coming from the u.n. security council chamber sitting with me in the same. new deal is nicole rendered she's from the german council on foreign relations welcome to you was sitting here yesterday listening to donald trump's remarks at the united nations general assembly what are you expecting him to say today where you will repeat most of what he said yesterday so there will be a heavy emphasis on america first so you will outline again his foreign policy agenda and most likely you will focus on iran and tough sanctions he's expecting not only from the u.s. to be carried out but also from friends and partners so he will call for support of u.s. policy towards

that is why we want to ensure the presence of the united states. the pentagon has to consider all these issues. they are is a whole range that are in favor and absolutely justified today. i'm absolutely convinced because today unfortunately, we are seeing the national sovereignty convinced there -- to repel a possible thereonvinced will be no more happening ever. said: would bet paying billions of dollars for a base. it is one thing can be defend countries that cannot defend themselves. we don't expect anything for that. we are in discussions with numerous countries about payment and we get along with them well .nd, but it is not fair last year, they paid an additional. you can speak to the head of nato and he says he has never seen anything like it. wealthyountry is very and the united states has been protecting them for many years. they help with burden sharing. the president offered us much more than $2 billion to do this. thank you very much. would you like to have a question? >> a question to president trump. -- what wee the heard a few moments

nations good blue flag is the symbol of symbol of peace and united nations of course is protecting. the worst from happening in number of places all over the planet through its peacekeeping missions but i again as a professional diplomat believe that we should focus more on the phase where peace is not lost yet because what we call peacekeeping missions are missions sent to the places where there is no peace left to be kept so i try to make this one of the key issues during my mandate and to speak about. what can we do better to to prevent conflicts to avoid conflict because this is my understanding of diplomacy to make sure that we do not lose peace and the concept of sustaining peace was introduced by doing ninety nations to two years ago and it means to put much greater emphasis on prevention but mr president surely you would agree that the international community should also try to put an end to the existing conflicts and let me ask you specifically on syria because as you know russia is very keen on rebuilding that country which would have large implications for

thanks to the united states military. nd our partnership with many of your nations i am pleased to report that the bloodthirsty killers known as isis have been driven out from the territory they once held in iraq and syria. we will continue to work with friends and allies to deny radical islamic terrorists any funding territory or support. for any means of infiltrating our borders. the ongoing tragedy in syria is heartbreaking. our shared goals must be the deescalation of military conflict along with a political solution that honors the will of the syrian people. in this pain weird as the united nations led peace process be reinvigorated but rest assured the united states will respond if chemical weapons are deployed by the assad regime. i commend the people of jordan and other neighboring countries for hosting refugees from this very brutal civil war. as we see in jordan. the most compassionate policy is to place refugees as close to their homes as possible. to ease their eventual return to be part of the rebuilding proce

other governments, but not the united states. there are no mechanisms to hold the court and its personnel accountable or curtail its unchecked powers when required. icc proponents argue that corrupt or ineffective judges can be removed by a two thirds vote of parties to their own statute and that a prosecutor can be removed by a majority ote however, i ask everyone in the room today, would you consign the fate of american citizens to a committee of other nations, including venezuela and the democratic republic of the congo, entities that are not even states, like the palestinian authority? you would not appear i would not. this administration will not. the icc is an assembly states party and cannot supervise the court anymore than the united nations general assembly can't supervise bureaucracy. recent allegations of mismanagement and corruption among icc personnel make this perfect clear. the first prosecutor elected by the states parties attempted to protect a high-ranking government official from prosecution, assisted a business

i state here in clear on ambiguous terms that the united states' policy visa v. days lawmaker republic of iran has been wrong from the beginning and its approach resisting the wishes of the iranian people as manifested in numerous elections is doomed to failure. the iran with its historical and civilizational longevity the rich cultural heritage and foremost geopolitical position is an undeniable reality of it and caught. the policy of engagement and cooperation with iran has produced positive outcomes for other nations. he has been best reflected in iran's cooperation with friendly countries in the fight against terrorism not a good look at what the united states understanding of international relations is all for tarion in its estimation might makes right how about its understanding of power not of legal and legitimate authority is reflected the bullying and imposition of you know maybe taiwan no state and nation can be brought to the negotiating table by force and if so what follows is the accumulation in the grapes of wrath of those nations to be reaped later

the united states pushes forward its ambitious project of a pan arab alliance against iran but there are deep divisions brought on by the gulf crisis so can washington's desire to rope in israel along with the arab states against a common enemy actually succeeding and what does it mean for president trump's middle east peace plan this is inside story. welcome to the program today with me peter w. washington has begun putting together a plan to forge and iran alliance with the arab countries now the us secretary of state mike pompei has met foreign ministers of the gulf cooperation council states and egypt and jordan they discuss the perceived threats posed by iran to peace and stability across the middle east however the g.c.c. is of course a house divided once the blockade imposed on doha by some of its neighbors lifted before the u.s. security plan can be considered credible. discussion today from new york. a gathering of gold fry vel's. this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since the fall c

to the united states. that conception was rebutted by an economic study that was actually commissioned by the trump administration and done by the trump administration that found that the refugee program has netted the united states economy about $63 billion over the last 10 years. so the economic argument really doesn't work, even compared to the administration's own findings. host: so this is adam bates with the international assistance project, here to talk about this proposed refugee cap. it was announced earlier this week. if you want to ask him questions, it's (202) 748-8000 for democrats, republicans (202) 748-8001, and independents (202) 748-8002. if you are a refugee in the united states and you want to give your perspective, it is (202) 748-8003, and you can also reach out to us via twitter at cspanwj. what is the process of negotiation from this cap announced by the administration to what has to go on with legislators on capitol hill? how does that work? adam: at the end of the day, the administr

we want to keep jobs in the united states. maybe that is done in a more effective way by allowing the free flow of goods and services in and out of the nine states, particularly as we see the economic transformation. guest: it is a fine balance. governments do not create jobs. governments create a more educated workforce and resilient workforce but it is the private sector that creates jobs. at the same time, as we have communities struggling with preserving the documents we have, we have the same community . do we let investment promotion trips to canada, mexico, we want more investment? that is what creates jobs. for working people, at the same time, as we are not making cost so high and conditions are difficult. manufacturers do not want to stay in the united states. host: mark, line for republicans. go ahead. caller: i want to give a shout out to canada, which has the same natural resources, even more so than the u.s., if you count diamonds and things of that nature. likes a population florida, so they are the wealthiest pe

of the united states. use there are no other words to describe the fact that that great state indicated to poland and defined poland as the country who should be back on the map and was reinstated on the map 100 years ago. and i'm absolutely delighted that today as polish president i can be here in washington at the same table with the president of the united states and sign an agreement which is deepening our strategic partnership and renewing that strategic partnership. i'm talking here about the agreement on the strategy partnership, such agreement signed in 2008 between our two countries. back then signed by the ministers of foreign affairs and today this renewed version, the version which has been updated because a lot has changed over the ten years, this renewed version of the strategic partnership was signed personally by myself and president donald trump. and i would like to express my deep gratitude to you, mr. president, for that fact. this agreement indicates the most important aspects of our coo

she came to the united states as a child. she has a unique position of experiencing a refugee migration from the vantage point of a young person, which is different from yours who came as an adult. she writes, my mother and father told us not to look at the americans. , not to see them. we wanted to be invisible everywhere we went beyond the housing project. we were looked at and we felt exposed. we were dealing with a wide realization that all of us must stay in america, grow up or grow old. she felt around -- profound hersure to grow up, helping parents to navigate the barack receipt who allowed the family to eat. later she writes, money was like a person i had never known or a wall i had never breached before. it kept me away from my grandma. i found no way to climb this wall. i thought so much about money that i could not sleep. in my imagination, money was much more. it was a nightmare that kept of a part in america. here you have another aspect of frustration. her family is not just financially struggling, but that finan

guest: the average product from mexico to the united states is 40% of the value originated in the united states. guest: similarly, products from canada, 70% in the auto sector. importing something from canada, if you cut off the canadian cars , there is no such thing as a canadian car. when you cut off that car, that is a ford and you cannot get because they ford are canadian. you are affecting supply chains. what happens when the manufacturers are no longer able to produce competitively in north carolina -- north america? they go someplace else. guest: we tend to forget about the consumer. saved billions of dollars every year because of the integrated manufacturing systems. the conversation is developing in china and carrots with china, looking up prices for consumer goods going up, at the wilson center, a study looked at the impact of integrated production in north america between the united states, mexico, canada, and lowered prices dramatically for u.s. consumers which allows them to have more money in their pocket which they spend in their local economy. people forget about this. if

the united states has just announced tariffs on another $200 billion of chinese made goods. the total so far of $250 billion. we have great affection for my friend president t16 but the trade imbalance is not acceptable. the way they deal cannot be tolerated. as my administration has demonstrated america will always act in our national interest. the un human rights council to this institution shielding egregious human rights abusers while bashing america. our ambassador to the united nations one - - nations nikki haley laid out reform despite repeated warnings, no action at all was taken. so the united states took the only responsible course and withdrew from the human rights council and we will not return until real reform is enacted. for similar reasons the united states will provide no support or recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned the icc has no jurisdiction no legitimacy, and no authority. the icc claims universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice and fairness and due process.

the united states and the i.c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

the united states has pulled out of it. and the president said that most in the middle east supported his decision to pull out of that deal. it's not quite true. it is true that the alliance of anti-iranians do support it, whether it's bibi netanyahu's government, whether it's crown prince of saudi arabia, the uae, that coalition support that because they think that they can achieve regime change in iran. but the rest of the world, including russia and china and the europeans and everybody else, are desperately trying to figure out some, as i have been told, new mechanism to keep the deal somehow alive despite american sanctions, secondary sanctions on european and other countries that do business with iran. so the iranians have yet again been certified as complying with it, and yes, of course, there are issues about ballistic missiles, about interference in syria, about hezbollah, about all of those things, terrorism, but those will never be addressed in this deal, according to the iranian president. he said that we are not

the league of nations which was founded after the war was immediately replaced by the united nations in the aftermath of the second world war that. undoubtedly the united nations over its seventy three years of history had carried out enormous endeavors and accomplishing many achievements. of a great extent however it is also a fact that we need to admit that in time the united nations moved away from the cut precedent to meet the expectations of humanity for peace and welfare in particular the security council has taken such a form that it started serving the interests of its five permanent seat holders at the security council with veto rights but standing idle to the oppressions in the other parts of the word the massacres in bosnia rwanda somalia recently in my own morally and in palestine as we speak have all taken place before the eyes of the united nations security council. those who remain silent against the oppression of the palestinians who refused the medicare in assistance for them are only increasing. the courage of the oppressors. even if the whole world turns its back we

now in the united states you were nodding to the question, so in the united states that is the blanketcy they have. an evaluation of individual cases on whether not those facts offended but rather it's the blanket policy. when you have blanket policy like that for individuals who are there to make an inlet asylum claim in the united states, is it safe for them? >> the question, are they going to be, they are challenged in court and there would be final decision on whether asylum-seekers in the u.s. can claim a son domestic violence or fleeing a criminal gang. and canada as well we are look at the issue of how people are being recognized as refugees when they flee criminal gang. a number of them are recognized under section 67, and not with the link to the refugee definition. >> it's interesting, you know, at the moment there are 463 parents of migrant children that are no longer present in the united states. that is over 2000 show that ripped away from their parents. so that means those children are rendered orphans at the moment in the united states. the united states has a a blant po

the united states and the i.c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

you because what fouad says think there's some truth to it there is saying that what we know that the united states pulled out of the iran deal for something for example and all these other nations have decided to stay with it and as for points out the united states has been doing a lot of what it says iran is doing now. well the president's been very consistent with the rants look there i don't believe there's a person on the face of this earth especially in the body of the u.n. that would disagree with the fact that iran exports terrorism we know that iran is responsible for a lot of trouble around the world iran has not contributed anything to any peace process anywhere and if you really take a look at this and this is my view i don't speak for the administration and it is the view of many people that iran doesn't have to look at the united states as their threat the threat to iran is their own people they're taken to the streets they're very fed up to the next with iran spending more money on the exportation of trouble than on their own people so with regard to iran he's been consistent

committee as john bolton said that the united states is not part of the i.c.c. they didn't sign on to the rome statute so when they talk about sanctions against the i.c.c. what exactly do they mean. well it has a very specific definition and with regard to that it would mean essentially that individuals could face sanctioning by the united states that could mean prosecution under the u.s. criminal justice system it could mean banning entry into the united states so it's it's sort of got a multi-pronged effect sensually this is we should point out for anyone who wonders who the society is that john bolton is speaking before it's very conservative the federalist is very conservative audience so when he made this announcement you heard the applause there there was also applause with the announcement of the closure of the palestinian liberation organization office here in washington d.c. essentially that acts as a mission advocates for palestinian interests and essentially the reason for this closure it is something that the united states has threat for some time an

hello and welcome to worlds apart when the united nations was founded it was meant to serve as a forum for conversation and conciliation gets you in into a meeting of the security council and what you'll often see is not throw bost well mannered debate but rather accusations and allegations by diplomats just postering for the cameras or is discourse at the un really as dysfunctional as it appears well to discuss that i'm now joined by medicine a flight check the president of the united nations general assembly for this seventy second session mr president it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for having me and good morning from new york now your term is about to answer within the next couple of days and about a year ago when you just assumed your duties you said in an interview that one of your ambitions for this tenure is going to be overcoming narrow national interest do you think you have succeeded in that. well i feel very strongly about united nations and about the general assembly being the most representative platform and the fact is that we have

the united states and c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

we will see president trump asking the united nations there showing up with the first lady, a policych and sticking points. we will explainó[ cthose,çó eve two showdowns shadow them. now brettçó kavanaugh taking a page from the donald trump who will join me live on the show in a minute. >>> why president trump is trying to get rid of another. rod rosenstein, in 48 hours from now, the same day as the blockbuster hearing on capitol hill. reporting on the political and legal fallout. we wait to bring you the president's remarks from the u.n. right now, we are looking at what the supreme court nominee had to say, brett kavanaugh, fighting back about sexual misconducázandi] assault in an 3 unprecedented television interview. watch. >> i'm note1 going to let false accusations drive us in this 1i. we are looking for a fair process where is7 can be heard d defend my integrity, my lifelong record, my lifelong record of promoting equality for +omen, i'm not going anywhere. >> so, that's brett kavanaugh there. i want to bring inñr kristinñr welker at the white house. we talked about this. the s

the other nuclear arms date has far more than the united states. do you share that view and what we need to do to catch up to both of them before behind. >> i do, senator. certainly in the case of russia which is the focus of our discussion today and been engaged in a distinction modernization program, but of their nonstrategic nuclear weapons as well but i would argue has far outpaced with what they've done today. the comments that were made importance of the u.s. modernization program. over the years we have reduced the levels of our nuclear stockpile by some 85%, they pursue the modernization being referred to earlier. the united states has not built a nuclear weapon in many, many years. russia we know has come to china hunts other nuclear weapons states have. so i do see a discrepancy there and i would completely agree with the conclusions reached in the nuclear posture regime. >> so, one of the things that senator corker pointed out was that part of the agreement around new s.t.a.r.t. was the modernization piece. the idea would continue to mode

it certainly has no consent whatever from the united states. as americans, we fully understand that consent to the government is a prerequisite to true legitimacy. we reject such a flagrant violation of our national sovereignty. to make matters worse, the court structure is contrary to fundamental american principles, including checks and balances on authority, through the separation of powers. our founders believed that a division of authority among three separate ranches of government would provide the maximum level of protection for individual liberty. the international criminal court melds two of these branches together. in the i.c.c. structure, the executive branch, the office of the prosecutor is an orbegan of the court. the framers of our constitution considered such a melding of powers unacceptable for our own government and we should not accept it in the icc. other governments may choose whichs reject the powers but not the , united states. there are no mechanisms to hold the court and its personnel accountable or curtail its unchecked

had actually allowed eisel to grow in order to put pressure on assad so i think the united states is actually in no position to accuse iran of terrorism in the region hillary this is a complex landscape i'm in i still could have been why did defeated in places like syria and iraq but they're being pretty much places like the yemen or also north africa and subsaharan africa so the funders of the report itself could be misleading to the international audience in a way or another a yes and i mean the the entire reason the united states has these terrorism reports is a political one these reports started in one nine hundred seventy nine with iran as a charter member of this what we call these states sponsors of terrorism and the reason was was that president carter back in the in the one nine hundred seventy s. started to focus more on human rights in countries and had mandated the state department to produce reports on human rights in countries those focused uncomfortably on american allies particularly on israel and saudi arabia there are a lot of their friends their lobbyist. and washi

and from the president of the united states. there are no other words to it.ribe it was reinstated on the map 100 years ago in 1918. i am delighted today i can be here in washington and which is -- and said at the same table as the president of the united partnershipind a and renewing that partnership. i am talking about the agreement on the partnership of the agreement that was signed into back then it was signed by the thousand eight. ministers of foreign affairs. today, the renewed aversion, the version that had been updated, a lot has changed over 10 years. partnership was signed personally by myself and president trump. i would like to express my deep gratitude to you for that fact. this agreement indicates the most important aspect ever -- of our cooperation and friendship. it also sets up a new future. the possibility of tightening our cooperation and also in the energy business p tightening our in the broadly understood business. aspects of the already mentions as part of those c3 initiative. i came here to washington fro

the united states is stronger now than ever before. we have the highest stock market that we've ever had. if you invested in the stock market on average we're up over 45% on the various markets. you have to be quite happy about that. but i view it differently. i view it as jobs, i view it as a strong economy, i view it as as record-setting unemployment. we have unemployment at the lowest levels we have ever had and in particular with certain groups, african-americans, asians, hispanic, they're the lowest levels in the history of our country. we have been doing well, we appreciate the big investment and the confidence that you have in the united states. thank you very much. >> mr. president are you happy bout the kavanaugh hearings? president trump mplet i'm happy with the kavanaugh hearing. i watched a little while today, i saw some great answers. he's an outstanding intellect, he was born for the position. i heard people saying as long as 10 years ago that he should be a supreme court judge. i didn't know him, but i was hearing from fr

the united states is the world's largest giver in the world, by far, of foreign aid. but few give anything to us. that is why we're taking a hard look at u.s. foreign assistance. that will be headed up by secretary of state mike ompeo. we will examine what is working, what is not working, and whether the countries who receive our dollars and our protection also have our interests at heart. moving forward, we're only going to give foreign aid to those who respect us and, frankly, are our friends. and we expect other countries to pay their fair share for the cost of their defense. the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective and accountable. i have said many times that the united nations has unlimited potential. as part of our reform effort, i have told our negotiators that the united states will not pay more than 25% of the u.n. peacekeeping budget. this will encourage other countries to step up, get involved, and also share in this very large burden. we're working to shift more of our funding from assessed contributions to voluntary so th

bush authorized the united states to. the rome statute because it was fundamentally illegitimate if the i.c.c. and its prosecutor had been granted potentially enormous essentially unaccountable powers and alongside numerous other glaring significant flaws the international criminal court constituted an assault on the constitutional rights of the american people and the sovereignty of the united states in no uncertain terms the i.c.c. was created as a free wheeling global organization claiming jurisdiction over individuals without their consent according to the rome statute the i.c.c. has authority to prosecute genocide war crimes crimes against humanity and crimes of aggression it claims automatic jurisdiction meaning that it can prosecute individuals even if their own governments have not recognized signed or ratified the treaty thus american soldiers politicians civil servants private citizens and even all of you sitting in this room today are purportedly subject to the court's prosecution should a party to the rome stat

it predates the last election in the united states. the beginnings of that movement were before the government change in the u.s. therefore, i don't think you can say, entirely, that what is happening is a phenomenon triggered by political developments in the u.s., because the origins of this began before that. but we are coordinated by the government operation center. we learned many best practices and practical lessons from the experience last year and applied those lessons through our planning process for this year and future years, as necessary. we have engaged multiple departments of the government of canada. together with provinces and municipalities, as well as ngos. a number of ngos are engaged in this, like the red cross for example, to make sure we have the provisions in place and the flexibility to deal with the eventualities. we may need to increase, we may need to decrease. as we saw earlier this year, there was a trend upward in the numbers, until about easter. there was a spike in the numbers around easter and since then,

and requested the united states to designate the commander of such forces. the same resolution also authorized the inside command at its discretion to use the united nations flag in the course of of operations concurrently the flag of the various nations participating. in its first report to the security council on the operation of the command, the united states informed the security council that on july 25, 1950, the unified command was established in the security council first use the name united nations command on november 8, 1950. notwithstanding its name, the united nations command is not a body, nor does it come under control of the nations. furthermore, it was not established as a subsidiary of the security council and not funded into the united nations budget. there are no reporting lines between the united nations command and secretariat. madam president, the secretary-general in the upcoming high-level week of the united nations general assembly will discuss how he and the united nations system can for the support the party and how steps can be tak

they stay in the united states. at one juncture, it was up to the 1970's, 90% or more stay in the united states. they are mostly coming to the united states. but something happens in the 1970's, because by the 1970's, taiwan's economy has started to develop and it is moving into an advanced economy stage. now, part of it has to do with the trickle of taiwanese students that go back to help set taiwan on this path toward development, another significant component is that the united states, between 1950 and 1965, investing a lot of capital in taiwanese agriculture. and with infrastructure, it is sending experts over to advise taiwan. the united states is deeply committed to taiwan's economic development and eventual political stabilization. though -- so in the 1950's, 1960's, there were not that many jobs for highly trained technicians, engineers, and scientists. but by the time you get to the 1970's, it has changed. so there is more and more incentive for people to go back. again, this is something to think about in t

it makes a very clear statement that the united... just started speaking. translation: british colleagues promised to provide new information on the investigation of the so—called skripal affair, we carefully examined the statement of their prime minister in british parliament on this topic. to be frank, we very much hoped today we would hear something convincing that sheds light on this mysterious incident but unfortunately, expectations were not met once again. in today's statement we heard the same repeated lies. 0n the so—called double agents, as a reason, as a legitimate murdered by russian special services, intelligence services. about training of russian special services in the handling of toxic chemicals. about the development of military grade chemical agents in russia, about cyber attacks, about attempts to engineer an overthrow in macedonia, and a lot of other information. i am macedonia, and a lot of other information. iam not macedonia, and a lot of other information. i am not going to go through the list of this whole unf

he takes care of the united states. his interest in the country to have trade exchange. -- to have a balanced trade exchange. this is something you have to take care of. there is a clash of interests. objectively looking, it is hard not to understand it. there is always a competition of interest. every business is a competition of interest. i represent polis interests. president trump represents american interests. the whole thing is as follows, on important matters committee have to strike an agreement to make sure that each country loses as little as possible. then we have an agreement. then we can say we are cooperating with each other on equal levels. i believe this is the kind of cooperation that mr. president -- cooperation that mr. president would like to have at the european union. i would not be surprised with that. i am listening calmly to that. i would like pollen to be such a -- i would like poland to be such an economic superpower that it would be very important to the united states. i said jokingly in the b

and to the united states, that is not to say there is no risk. what makes the national security community so confident, populations of people, with regard to terrorism? >> let me -- >> thanks for having me. my politics are not on the far left having spent 20 years in the marine corps. how do you keep the country safe? you can't illuminate risk. and we look for ieds, to determine what the risk was. there was not a choice whether to go on that. imitating risk is something you can to minimize and that is among the challenges you face, to the military operation. it is an incredible system, the notion they are a threat is completely false. i was in jordan last year on hcr, and in jordan. a notion who these people are is a complete falsehood. one thing a police state does very well is keep track of people. for instance that day, trying to filter, to take 300 refugees, and a blonde hair, blue eyed hazel haired refugee, or you name the category. you know every address they lived there for the past we 10 years and all of those things, that is just the un s
