the united states has been our sincealliance partner 1951, although we have been alongside the united states in every major conflict over the past 100 years. currently we are partnering with the united states in the fight against terrorist and extremist in iraq, syria, afghanistan and the philippines. --. leadership has been military and security operations worldwide. australian leadership has been timor-leste, where we have demonstrated our ability to contribute to regional security for the benefit of other nations. against this background, and in this context, to my mind, there has been no diminution in the united states engagement or commitment to our region. continues to build regional capacity through development assistance in maritime security, counterterrorism and intelligence sharing. this could also be evident by the number of frequency of high-level visits to our region by senior u.s. cabinet members. there have been visits from our reason -- region to united states to make president trump -- the president has emphasized personal rapport with world leaders. i met with prime

foreign policy well it's not at the united states was it wasn't the only player in the international system and the united nations for example was also created with russia's help but when you say that there is no comparison between the united states and russia i would totally agree with you because russia is not responsible for iraq russia is no the sponsible for libya russia is not responsible for syria how can you claim that the world is a better place because of the united states when you have three brutal conflicts that have killed hundreds of thousands of people displaced millions and you can still say that the united states made the world a better place how come i can say it without reservation the united states has also turned europe from a place that had multiple great power wars into a place where you have democracies aligned nato aligned with the united states you have peace. stability freedom economic prosperity and russia's trying to undermine that you know ask countries on russia's border ukraine georgia do they want to be part of russia or do they want to be part of the

sanctions against the united states to punish the united states for its overthrow of the government of libya and the creation of chaos throughout the world we suffer from what we call american exceptionalism we apply a very different standard to the united states when the united states screws up around the world our motives are always pure but somehow we made a mistake but we're innocent but we have a very very different standard and that's that corrosive environment that we live in in the united states where we judge ourselves by completely different stand than we judge everybody else and unless we begin to get past that we can understand how the world looks to anybody else from the standpoint of the rest of the world russia might be a problem in certain areas but the main threat to world peace over and over again in every survey around the world this is the united states the united states is viewed internationally as the main threat to world peace americans don't know that americans are very limited very parochial and they don't have a sense of how we are perceived in the world or

' law operating on the united states' official who is acting inside the united states. this case has, as far as the conduct is concerned, united states written all over it. nothing about mexico. the border patrol guard doesn't take these orders from mexico. >> i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute mr. may said criminal he is they were to choose to do so, which would provide a remedy to the petitioners via a -- >> why? they wouldn't get any damages for the death of their 15-year-old son, for their emotional suffering. but i think i have to follow up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question. which is, i don't think you or the u.s. government is suggesting that anyone is condoning people standing at the border and taking pop shots at passing mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> and yes, there is a criminal remedy for the government to vindicate its position. but why should there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with the constitution? either under the fourth or fifth amendment, wouldn't shooting pop shots

before the united states entered the war. and then he was working in connecticut. he took part in the selective service act of the united states and was drafted in the united states service. so his uniform as a united states soldier is also shown here next to his german uniform. he basically ended up near the same place in france that he had been as a german soldier two years before. just the incredible feeling that he was there serving, he de certificated, went to the united states and went back with the united states soldiers to serve with the american expeditionary forces during the war. to have both of these uniforms to survive and become part of the museum collection i think is a pretty interesting thing to have happened. as i mentioned earlier, the african-americans who served in the war were in two combat divisions, the 92nd and the 93rd. we're going to go take a look at some of their equipment. probably one of the most famous african-americans units during the war was the 369th infantry regiment. they were known as the

what options does the united states? vice president pence: all options are on the table. the president has made that clear. continued provocations by the rogue regime in north korea are unacceptable and the united states of america is going to continue to marshall this across the region and the world to further isolate north korea economically and diplomatically

you have suggested that in some ways the united states is violating some of the tenets of the deal. but the relationship overall. where does it stand? >> well i think the united states has had unfortunately a hostile policy towards iran for some time. and this administration is certainly pursuing an even more hostile policy. i think it's a misguided policy. i think the allegations against iran are tired and don't stand any test in reality. i think it's best for the united states to look at its achievements quote/unquote in our region and see what it has achieved. it has made all the wrong choices, the allies are accusing each other supporting terrorism. i believe the united states needs to take a fresh look at the situation in our region and see where its interests are, how it's dealing with important issues of stability and security in our region. and decide where it sell where it wants to stand. >> rose: as you know in the conference or the summit, saudi arabia and some of the arab state allies asked the united states to join them in isolating iran. they believe you're engaged in t

the united states has urged peaceful negotiations and respect for the rule of law. united states has advocated the right of all nations to freedom and navigations into international waters. it has maintained its long-standing program globally and in our region. the trump administration is focused on north korea as one of its highest priorities. the dprk represents a profound threat to the stability and peace to the region today. a continues to some its nose at the united nations security council. the past resolution of testing ballistic missiles. it is -- that the five of the security council take all possible steps to send a message to north korea that it must hold its illegal behavior and focus on improving the welfare of its impoverished and long-suffering people. the trump administration is irving china to play a more construct of role in the pursuit of an enduring peace on the korean peninsula. the international landscape is uncertain. there are evident shifts in power between states, and the scale in terms of technological advances is disturbing how be living c

the state department did not. do you believe the state department is committed to the rule of law and the national security of the united states? >> thank you for the opportunity to address that you this was in 2002, not 2007. it was 15 years ago that took place. it was during the time when the department of homeland security was being stood up. aftermath ofdiate 9/11. a lot has changed in 15 years. i'm enthusiastic about the future of the way this will be doing its function. >> i don't want my time to expire. do you believe the state department is committed to the rule of law and the national security of the united states? >> i absolutely do. the fact that even i was terrified by state incompetence and apathy toward a law enforcement proves how far this has progressed. hired some to fort -- support the transfer of these is to the new department of homeland security. a department that will be committed to the rule of law and the national security of united states. the mission is to provide life-sustaining assistance to those uprooted through multilateral systems, to build global partnerships, promote practices and milit

the president of the united states, mr. donald trump. >> thank you very much, president duda, for your gracious hospitality. we've had a wonderful stay. it's been quick, but the people of poland have been so fantastic. and as you know, polish americans came out in droves. they voted in the last election, and i was very happy with that result. i just want to thank you and thank them. a true honor to be in poland. it's a majestic nation. it really is. a spectacular place. some of the most beautiful sites we saw coming over. very inspirational. you're rich in history and have absolutely an unbreakable spirit. that's something we've learned over the course of many years. the president and i concluded a productive meeting in which we reaffirmed our enduring bonds of friendship and have united our citizens for a long time. we've never been closer to poland, i think, than we are right now. poland is not only a great friend but a truly important ally and partner with respect to our military. we've had great cooperations with poland.

today provides a timely opportunity to share views on the new trump administration in the united states and its engagement with the indo-pacific region, or as the organizers coined my topic, trump and asia. it is one of our most important foreign policy considerations for some time as the united states matters, to australia, to our region and the world. for the past 70 years, since the end of the second world war including the war in the pacific, the united states has been the instigator, the promoter and the guarantor of what we call the international rules-based order. this order has underpinned international law and has defined the way states should behave, in general, and towards each other. while the international rules-based order has embraced globalization, economic integration, the rule of law, human rights and free and open societies, it has not always been universally applied or enforced. nonetheless the united states has been the reference point, as the most powerful economy with the greatest military capability, and the only nation with the values, interests, global alliance

but the in talking about the isolation of the united states, jack, let me come to you with this. at have ca rin was talking about how the world is going around the united states, this cannot be good for the long-term strategic national interests of our country, can it? >> of course not. we look at what the united states did after world war ii, created 9 marshall plan for a reason. we wanted stability and a bulwark against the soviet union and wanted a trading partner. we wanted to strengthen the world because we benefited from that. the united states created an organizational structure and in fact, the united states became the most powerful country on the planet because of that. the problem that we see right now is that this president has been undercutting those underpinnings. he's been undercutting those organizational structures and what it's going to do is exclude the united states. it's going to drive the united states into that corner where donald trump is. that's the last place we want to be. you know what? >> if there's an organization out there and we don't get a seat at t

he's tried to take care of the people of united states. st: do you think the declining image of the president affects the rest of us? caller: who cares? the united states has to take care of the united states. we do not care what other people think of us. this is not something where you have to be like, "will you please like me?" no, president trump have to do what and thinks is best for the united states. you have to look at the mainstream media polls. no one believes them anymore. trump is playing them like a federal -- a fiddle. no one is going to believe anything about anyone who runs for office again, because they live all the time. -- they lie all the time. host: let's take a look at another one of the pew's charts. inlobal poll finds decline u.s. image at the end of the obama administration. at the end of the obama administration, 64% have confidence in the u.s. president. at the start of the trump administration, it declined to 22%. we are going on six months now into the trump residency. here is tom from california. go ahead. calle

and he is thinking seriously about the united states of america as our loyal ally. the president stressed strongly strength of the polish community in the united states and the polish americans home he met -- americans whom he met before the election. mr. president, thank you very much for that. thank you for noticing the contribution of polish americans and the polish people in the development and the building of the prosperity of the united states. apart from that, we discussed economic contracts. not only military but those connected with security. we spoke at length about gas deliveries to poland. the first shipment of gas arrived in poland on the eighth of july from the united states. this has turned out hugely successful, no problems and no barriers. this opens up the path to more contracts and i hope that in the near future there will be a long-term contract entered into for gas deliveries from the united states and that through this we will diversify sources of supply of this hugely important raw material to poland. in a few moments, we will attend a summit w

quite a long term problem but something where immediate steps are needed and the position of the united states in the current administration is skeptical about that and thinks that it's more important to keep your island gas industry going and indifferent or keep. make the united states into a big oil and gas exporter well i guess i'm just picking up on this award isolation because it's understandable that any given country may have second thoughts about any given issue but it's still participated in discussions and i assume its allies d. try to persuade it one way or another why do we have to bring that isolation term in because it my view it's almost like a high school day now i'm a green sort of bring you into the group or like you and be ostracized if we don't i mean there is a great deal of this going on at the moment you know i think you could also say for similar reasons that the u.k. is pretty isolated in europe and. the question of being excluded from a group you see prime minister may not going to some european events anymore and being left on the margin of a european events i think

zarif: i think the united states needs to reevaluate the achievements and failures of the united statesgion. and based on that the assessment, we will see the role and place of various countries in the region. we are not competing with saudi arabia. we believe iran and saudi arabia should be a part of a regional dialogue. i wrote an op-ed in the "new york times" several years ago calling for a regional dialogue. charlie: i remember. >> i believe that is what is lacking in our region. we are ready for it. i believe as soon as our saudi neighbors are ready to engage in dialogue and resolving issues through dialogue, not through pressure because unfortunately this has become a habit of using the united states for pressure on different countries or to impose direct pressure. charlie: does this include israel? dr. zarif: i'm talking about our immediate neighbors in the persian gulf. him him him him him and i don't think it's too modest, because in recent years, from the iraqi invasion of iran to the iraqi invasion of kuwait, to u.s. operations to liberate kuwait from iran, the u.s. operation

the united states and u.s. policymakers have to think -- potentially more difficult in a trump context rather than a more traditional u.s. foreign policy context. the question of how does the united states engage again in an ideological competition is something that's coming back fast and furious to washington. tarun: from your perspective focused more on china's relative influence? ely: about the u.s. influence as well. if you went to southeast asia and you have someone on the street, who do you think is the largest invester in your country, the answer i would imagine, a lot of them would say china. when it's only 8%. and the japanese are three or four fold. that and same in australia. the united states is the largest foreign investor. i don't think australians would think that. not only providing them more information about the realities of china's economic footprint, but also expressing the role of the united states and we haven't done a great job of that. in part because the u.s. government doesn't take cred

part of his visit to the united states. which included a meeting with president trump. following his remarks, the prime minister took a few questions from the audience. [ applause ] [speaking in a foreign language] >> good afternoon. i oversee all the foreign defense policy at the heritage foundation. it's my pleasure to welcome the prime minister of vietnam. and it is an honor to host you, sir. [speaking in a foreign language] [ applause ] >> i am also very pleased to recognize the ambassadors here today. he and his staff made today's event possible. [ applause ] [speaking in a foreign language] >> the american side, i would like to acknowledge u.s. ambassador to vietnam and deputy assistant secretary of state patrick of murphy. welcome and thank you so very much for being here. [ applause ] [speaking in a foreign language] >> of course, i would be remisnot to recognize the founder of the heritage foundation and our interim president ed fulmer. he believed in the potential of america's transpacific relationship long before there was a trade agreement named after them. h

we welcome and thank the united states fleet forces band and the naval station norfolk saluting gunnery for assisting us today. ladies and gentlemen, our platform guests. commander steven barstow, chaplain corps, united states navy, our ship's chaplain. ms. maryellen baldwin, president and ceo, hampton roads navy league. mr. greg willard, white house staff assistant to president ford and commissioning committee cochairman. mr. byron cavaney, commissioning committee cochairman. mr. douglas devos, committee cochairman. from huntington ingalls shipbuilding, mr. matthew mulherin, who most recently served as president of newport news shipbuilding. rear admiral bruce lindsey, united states navy, commander, naval air forces atlantic. rear admiral brian antonio, united states navy, program executive officer, aircraft carriers. vice admiral thomas moore, united states navy, commander, naval sees shipments command. -- naval seas shipments command. vice admiral michael shoemaker, united states navy, commander, naval air forces. admiral frank caldwell, united states navy, director, naval nuclear pr

i've been all over the united states. then i went to jacksonville for caroline national memorial and the outer banks in north carolina. ed ott our nation's first national seashore. cape hatteras. i've been working here for about seven years now. we want protect these special places. we want to repair future swren rations, that's our goal. folks, here we are at the statue of liberty, our nation's most famous national monument. a gift from the people of france. given to us in 1886, to commemorate our friendship and democracy. this statue has become much more than a gift of friendship. today, she's the most recognized symbol in the world. freedom, hope, liberty, change. the idea of what the statue represents, it grows, it evolves, it changes. and folk, you're a bag part of what she's become today. she's all over the place. you've seen her on tv. in the movies. but when you look up and see her in person, that's what it's all about. she is still inspiring. we're going to head around the corner and talk about the three gentlemen

for the united states. for a very long period of time we ignored iranian misbehavior in the region even when it's been focused directly at us. so the bay route embassy bombing-- bay rut embassy bombing trails back to iran, the united states does not respond. the marine baracks bombing in lebanon goes back to tehran, the united states did not spond. the kobah tower bombing goes back to tehran, the united states did nothing. shia militia getting advanced ied's from the iranians killing hundreds of u.s. soldier ntion iraq-- in iraq and in av ban stand, two administrations, the bush administration and the obama administration did nothing. really interesting as to why the history is what it is. but i think, i think it's changing. and i think it's a good thing that the united states along with our partners are going to push back against this hedgeemonic behavior, sucting ter rimp-- terrorism on their own, supporting terrorists in the region, .ing support to insurgents. iranian state policy to export their revoluti

invaded how many nations have been destroyed by the united states and i think the answer is dozens so really the united states has no room to criticize and to talk and to complain about north korean military war. terry launches missiles that comes at a time when tension is a rather high between beijing and washington as well what do you think what do you make of the thought that the white house has flounced china for a thing creased trade with north korea and why is washington telling beijing what to do. well the united states sees its global power its military power and its economic power slipping away and they know that they have just a very brief moment to try to hang on to it to stay in a dominant role and the only way the united states can really corner of course dominate anymore is through military power is by just wrecking other countries so it's willing to do that that's what we see the united states doing basically threatening in this case china you need in russia threatening them with wrecking the entire asia pacific in a in a middle eastern like chaos and war if the unit

polling shows attitudes towards the united states in china are more hostile than attitudes in the unitedstates toward china. but when you think about it, you realize, of course. because, from china's stamp on, the united states is supporting countries who are making territorial claims against china. or we are supporting taiwan in ass that china sees interfering on a very important them.orial issue to and we don't have any territorial issues with china in the same way that the chinese see the issue. so it is not surprising that one side has a territorial issue, and that will affect public attitudes. public attitudes are very important and our panelists will get into the subject. i willing kurds them to be equally diligent in sticking within the time limits. please, remember, we have one additional member of our panel, so that the pressure on us will be even greater. there was a chinese participant who was supposed to be commenting on the ike -- the economic side. on for chile, he could not be present. so the economics issue is the one where the united states will be dominating the present

we look to the nominee the master of the united kingdom as well and the united states most critical allies -- bilateral u.s. relationship is stone into a whole network of military intelligence and trade partnerships. gathered by terrorism -- resist russian aggression and drive economic growth. the united kingdom is not just deployed military -- it has helped us build the international framework that includes the united nations and nato together. our countries work together to help make the world safer and more prosperous place. we think of her being here. we also chance to get the nominees to the ambassador to also havere we positive and strong relations. italy is now on the un's continuesouncil and to play a key role in europe and the mediterranean security policy. being here. for lastly we will consider the nominees in singapore, one of our strongest security partners and southeast asia. rotation of most u.s. naval in the region.ng singapore is also a key economic trade partner to the united states in the region. our strategic ownership -- maintains peace and stability. we thank you for

i respect the decision made by korea and the united states. however, the korean government's endeavors to observe the due process of law will prove to be beneficial also to the advancement of our alliance. on that note, i ask for your deep understanding and support. ladies and gentlemen, let me now share my thoughts on great alliance, the title of my speech today. the alliance between our two countries is already a great one. still, it can be made even greater. i found that spirit in the battle of the reservoir. the divisional commander smith, who led that heroic battle, called the evacuation operation an attack in a new direction, not a retreat. this is what defines the spirit of our alliance. ahead of us awaits a special undertaking. an undertaking that has remained unsolved for the last 20 years as a historic conundrum. it is none other than nuclear and missile programs of north korea. a threat that is already spreading beyond the boundaries of the korean peninsula toward the united states. even as we face the most imminent and dangerous men

but instead they go to the best universities in the united states. but at the same time, we have many very good students from the united states studying in china. so this give me somewhat more reason to be cautiously optimistic. i don't want to neglect the differences and the pitfalls and difficulties ahead. what i see as a new normal of the bilateral relationship, featured by increased cooperation and increased competition. and i do know competition is greater than cooperation is greater. rising simultaneously. and another feature i see in the bilateral relationship is the increased degree of influence from domestic parties on both sides. and what should we do next? i don't have any good advice, but i think about more substantive and more collaborative projects. for instance, we can be somewhat more specific in discussing relations. one aspect is investment, trade, and we can talk also about more extensively security -- multilateral security architecture in the asia pacific region. there are already proposals in that regard. so we can launch some joi

in 1792 france became a republic and the excitement in the united states reached a frenzy. there were parades, marches, songs, toasts, people were marching in the street. january 17, '93 king louie xvi was executed and thousands of people fled, including many to the united states. so the book that i wrote was about five of these refugees who came to the united states on their american adventure. i thought using their stories would be a way of looking at early american history from a different perspective from slightly different eyes. now, i had originataled this as small project, something i could get over in a couple years. it quickly ballooned into something much bigger. >> two big books. >> it took me way beyond paris and philadelphia. through london and into the caribbean and deep into the american interior. it grew beyond the five aristocra aristocrats, to include saves in haiti, native americans in the highw ohio valley. many of them were involved with the story i was trying to tell about these five figures. i don't have, you know, a whole lot of time tonight to tell y

you have ambassador to the united nations the kaylee making it clear the us is prepared to use military options. >> the united statesared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. one of our capabilities lies with considerable military forces. we will use them if we must. but we prefer not to go in that direction. >> haley want other nations about trade with north korea in violation of security council resolutions, in particular warning china, north korea has risen significantly, the president's optimism the china would lead the enforcement on this issue may be waning. so much for china working with us. this is interesting as we watch the president meeting with vladimir putin and chinese resident in hamburg in the next 24 to 48 hours. we will see if this comes up, what comes of the message being sent to all nations of the g 20, the pressure has got to be put on north korea. >> the idea of putting pressure on chinese banks to fund north korea and stuff like that, i maintain why on earth would china ever go to war or support kim jong-un in a war against the allied powers. we will wa

the united states condemns north korea lunch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. resents the new escalation of the threat to the united states, our allies and partners, the region and the world. global action is required to stop a global threat but others disagreed. >> a global problem, it is not -- it is a us problem. it is not that interested in solving it. that is why all the sanctions and un security council resolutions are not going to do a thing. >> so far that is all we have seen out of the administration and a un security council meeting at 3:00 pm today but it always comes back to china. do they have the motivation to intervene or is the us going to have to do more by itself. >> we will follow that meeting in new york city. in a few hours, the g 20 summit. live in dc a preview of what is expected to happen and it could be another historic trip overseas and a big meeting. >> reporter: two hours from now the president takes off, his second trip will be every bit, a diplomatic dance, highly anticipated bilateral meeting between him and russian president vladi

when it comes to the united states, attitudes towards the united states and how it is behaving with respect to the nuclear deal. those numbers increasingly people are saying that they're not confident that the united states will live up to its end of the bargain. now, what is interesting here, i think iranians expected the united states, trump in particular, to be less. basically forthcoming when it comes to nuclear deal. before trump actually took office, the higher number of people were saying that, you know, united states not going to live up to the end of the bargain. but we'll see that this number has come down actually. from 78 to 72. which is significant number. at the end of the day, 72% say they're not confident. 24% say they are confident. and i think the main issue for iranian people and for iranian policymakers as they talk to the iranian people when it comes to the u.s. is basically article 29 of the jcpoa. where iranians have obtained a promise from the united states and from the united states, from the european countries and from the united states, to refrain from doing anyth

he's in the hole and he keeps digging and so he is not being vilified by the united states or by the democrats he's behaving in such a way this and bring it upon himself with mr cheney or yourself noted that there is such a climate in the united states that makes any kind of not just referential but any kind of french gesture to russia exceedingly difficult political to move this why is that happening that is happening because russia hacked into u.s. e-mail accounts and intervened in our democratic that's why that is why the political environment now is poisonous when it comes to russia i think from the russian perspective no it's not full stop from the russian perspective it's totally different from the russian perspective fits the united states having a meltdown psychological meltdown because their world that it once knew is slipping away and that you're actually i have a question on that topic because you yourself have written a number of books on the changing world order that sooner or later at. the united states will cease to be the sort of centralized command and control center

. >> aye, captain. >> quartermaster, break the flag of the president of the united states. >> aptain, the flag of the president is flying over the united states ship gerald r. fo ford. >> very well. [applaus [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, captain richard mccormick, united states navy commanding officer u u.s.s. gerald r. ford.

charlie: do you think that's a test of the united states? byad sharif: it was stated the president that he would not go to saudi arabia until he was sure those things were on the table. charlie: but he believes it will create jobs, the effort to sell weapons to saudi arabia. javad sharif: it's good that they create jobs, but that should not be the yardstick for who supports terrorism. charlie: one thing that i think is interesting for the american people is what is exactly a terrorist and who is a terrorist question mark for example, al qaeda is a terrorist organization. you would agree? javad sharif: yes. charlie: isis? javad sharif: yes. charlie: hezbollah, you would agree? javad sharif: i wouldn't. charlie: but they are on the terrorist list. javad sharif: again, let's apply a yardstick. let's take the united nations as an acceptable mechanism, an acceptable machinery to define for you who is a terrorist and who is not. at least except something multilateral. unitedot accept the states being the prosecutor, judge, jury, executor -- executi
