u.s. will use iran as a bargaining chip and might offer china some sort of exception over the oil embargo under certain conditions and china i return to offer two important more crude oil and say soybean or even pork from the u.s. so eventually it became some sort of deal over a third country and that can very likely to happen we already got so i go i do want to washington d.c. and have her on both the same question i'll begin with her on what's the next move for iran having miranda is it blocking the straits of hormuz. well there are many alternatives first of all iran is probably sounding substantially more oil than what's being declared just like when obama imposed sanctions it was stated that iran was exporting a million barrels a day but in reality it later turned out to be closer to two million but more importantly is that iran has alternatives remember if you look at the map iran's presence and iran's allies presence across the region region is substantial but also iran's presence in the persian gulf is very substantial and one of the options that iran has and is and that is being

certainly not something that people were not discounting could happen but it is important to us trusting u.s. officials that iran gets the message that it's a it's ongoing campaign to destabilize other countries across the middle east to go after its perceived opponents and enemies in third countries cannot and will not be tolerated and also by designating. r.g.c. as a foreign terrorist organization the u.s. is trying to not just ramp up the pressure unilaterally but it's trying to bring other countries on board in its campaign to further isolate iran and why is it that this decision was made now we didn't expect it but is there something to be said about the timing. well the u.s. administration is arguing that there is nothing particularly special about this

u.s. force presence, that is important to help us understand what is going on in syria. it helps facilitate any kinetic activity the u.s. might want to do, and it helps facilitate coalition partners, the europeans having a presence. ,t helps facilitate government diplomats can have a presence, or nongovernmental organizations can have a presence. you would want to continue a u.s. military presence. in december the president tweeted that we would withdraw from syria. the pentagon responded, by withdraw, you mainstay? -- do you mean stay? that continues, i would like that presence to be focused on isis. i think brian is spot on what we need to prioritize fighting transnational terrorists. and you need a presence to do that. the u.s. would also play a role in the construction in certain areas, but i do not know if that will happen. the u.s. has not shown a deep to fix the trying extremely ugly situation in syria. the world bank numbers for how to rebuild it is mind-boggling. millions upon millions of refugees that are probably not coming back anytime soon. the u.s. can be us

u.s. abrogated the treaty with iran and it is trying to curb all their deals that they made in the interim using u.s. economic sanctions so turkey is probably going to show its independence and continue to buy the russian missile system we thought was the way forward have for us thank you russians because as you mentioned that there's a few clashes isn't the extradition of for to look good and there's syria different strategies that the iranian sanctions a whole host of questions which haven't been resolved do you think relations are in a public at moe's life arrow do you think they can get back on track. it's hard to say turkey has been trying to keep one foot in each camp in nato and afloat and trying to better relations with russia and with iran and i think in the long run that's an untenable position though probably have to go one way or another but it's it's a it's a very tricky situation for turkey because if turkey were to want to leave nato that would be on precedent i can tell you as a canadian there are many people in canada who want canada to leave nato but there's been no country in

u.s. has already banned weiwei products and is calling on allies not to use the company to build five g. networks but the head of the u.n. internet and telecoms agency noted that u.s. concerns may have more to do with politics and trade and actual security fears economist richard wolfe says the u.s. approach is hypocritical. every country in the world that uses high tech telecommunications is using the american version of those if you we. trust which we really can't then the biggest country that runs the risk of others saying we're not going to use your equipment because we can't trust it that's the most dangerous thing for the united states will the chinese try to use their equipment for something other than what it's designed to do probably will you have to defend against that yes our country is doing that europeans yes but they've been doing that to defend against american companies that have a much bigger role in the world and so the hypocrisy here has to help you understand it's fear or it's not serious. an elderly elephant has escaped death row in south africa that's after a court t

here waiting to make a trade deal britain will be at the top of the queue for us going to mean for the u.k. will tough u.s. negotiating objectives show britain will be treated like any other trading partner meaning it has to provide access for us a cultural products it should also remove barriers and allow access in full for american medicine's is that good or well there's growing alarm in britain at the possibility of a post breaks a deal with the us because of this just a few of the things people fear it's going to open the door for instance to pull rain washed chicken and hormone pump beef raise the cost of medicine to the national health service because people wonder what they thought of the off i think a trade deal with america sounds awful there's no point in australia immediately leaving the e.u. and jumping straight into bed with the us that's never we were never going to be negotiate for point a straight and we call even negotiate brix it from a point of strength we should be striking deals wherever we can if we're going to be. the us would definitely get more from that deal with than we do i don

i will take a step back and think about this. 40 years ago, the u.s. usedn aid to our countries around the world. that became politically unpopular, so we moved to a trade strategy where we gave trade versus aid, or trade not aid. the has done so well that most of these countries we allowed duty-free access to our markets have grown into our competitors. we are now in a place where we are trying to rebalance those relationships and we for see that happening with china. -- having worked at the treasury, i worked closely hauser and i have supreme confidence they will be able to deliver a comprehensive agreement. the market may not have priced that in, because of a relationship we have had the china in previous administration's and this administration, it has been difficult. i think the president has suggested he is willing to take -- make the tough calls and impose tariffs necessary to discipline an outcome that he believes will be the best. haidi: how do you work your way around making a deal that is doorceable, sustainable, how you do dispute resolution whe
