. >> so then sam, you know, why or what assurances does the u.s. need to trust that it's the taliban who could be part of any counterterrorism efforts if, indeed, 14,000 u.s. troops were pulled out of afghanistan? >> well, i'm not clear that president trump will slow down a troop drawdown even if we don't have a deal. he seems pretty set on that. in terms of verify but trust, there are certain instruments that the president has available to him. one is relying on his intelligence community which he doesn't often do to figure out the credibility of the taliban from an intelligence assessment perspective. and the other is to rely on what we call confidence building measures. when we started negotiations under president obama which led to the release of bowe bergdahl, for example, we worked to establish the measures, approach to ensure we can trust what they said they were going to do. president trump could lay out a similar road map to the taliban whereby there's a phased approach by both sides to try to get to an end objective. i'm going to come bac

nearly near completion prime minister shinzo abe expected to discuss this tomorrow japan wanted assurance the u.stariffs japan's foreign minister told reporters i'm confident that xwreemts will be a satisfactory one on that one. europe is not likely to get those assurances but the president elect already planning a collision course with the u.s. on trade, several tariffs deadlines coming up and there is not expected to be a bilateral between any european leaders of the european union or commission and president trump as some of those points of friction are approaching. >> kayla, can you clarify for viewers, what was your take on the exchange between the president and mnuchin yesterday on montana >> i think the president himself is conflicted because he understands that farmers need financial help, that this aid program they view as a band-aid and they want the market to be opened back up to them and they want a permanent fix there the president wants to deliver those agriculturalpurchases, but his negotiators believe that china is trying to simply agree to buy ag purchases instead of notching a b

u.s. and china, because i can assure you that the united states will not send troops into liberate hong kongon't happen. it is important for hong kong to ,ealize it is part of china it's destiny is linked with china, and it has to come to terms with china and work out a comfortable long-term solution. haslinda: how can this turnout in the u.s.-china trade negotiations? >> i think it will be one more chip on the negotiating table. but at the end of the day, the united states has got far larger interests. the number one consideration for president trump is that he is going for reelection in 2020. it is very clear now, the evidence is building up, that the u.s.-china trade war is having a real impact on the american economy. if the american economy slows down significantly, president trump's election chances will be damaged. it is therefore in his interest to come to a deal with china at some point in time on the trade issue to boost american economy. and if he has to sacrifice hong kong, he will sacrifice hong kong. seconds, in about 30 some say the u.s. is using this trade war to stop china f

if we continue this trend, the more we're butting heads with china, is there mutually assured destruction on the u.s. company to take that action? i think national security individuals in washington have real questions about why we would do that. ashley: does this make the whole attempt to get a deal, a trade deal with china, have we taken a step back, we are not doing this, we're just considering it? if we go ahead and do this, is it a major step back and how long does the trade deal go on from there? >> we have been skeptical on the ability to get a trade deal done anyway. we have been in kind of a state where china describes us as embracing while fighting, for most of the last month we have been embracing. for the last couple days we have been getting closer to fighting, giving the u.n. speech by president trump earlier this week. what china has had a hard time with is that even as things are going well on one track, they get blindsided by a separate track. in the trust between the united states and china in these negotiations, has been rattled. this will rattle it more, making it harder for even

u.s. law and regulations will allow. vonnie: would this be enough to scare china into giving some assurances on ip theft or policing some conditions the u.s. puts on if trade were to resume in its full capacity? >> these discussions are going on separately from the trait discussions. certainly, it adds to the tensions in the relationship. china is trying to open itself to investment, taking slow steps in that direction. the u.s., if it were to come in with restrictions on that, on those incoming investments, that is going to make it more difficult for chinese companies to expand. it would definitely impact the climate around the talks. guy: china holds a lot of treasuries. this is a risky game, isn't it? >> it is if you think they would be willing to use those as a weapon of the trade war. a lot of people discount that, but they do have a couple trillion dollars of u.s. treasuries they could decide to sell and that could cause pain. that is a scenario people do not put a lot of stock in, but it is up there. vonnie: looking in another turning of the screw moment. i know you say this is a separate path to the trade talks.

otherwise, those assurances are simply papering over the exit. if this is a policy option the u.s. chose, the consequences for afghanistan would be quite devastating. i think the likelihood of a withdrawal from afghanistan within the next -- sometime before october 2020, with no peace agreement left behind, would very likely lead to intensified and wider civil war, more chaotic civil war in afghanistan. ot guaranteed, but likely. the second option for the u.s. is to continue what is doing. this is an option being promoted by some in washington. often, it is said by those promoting this option that the u.s. can afford -- let's call it $30 billion, 35 billion. the actual numbers are disputed area the u.s. can afford that, afford to pay several million dollars a year for the afghans purity forces, can afford sustaining $8,600 if there is a drawdown of troops in afghanistan. of course the u.s. can afford the monetary cost of that. owever, those who promote this ine entirely ignore the cost borne by afghanistan for that scenario. and the sustainability of those costs. can afghanistan co

assurances are simply papering over the exit. in my view if this was the policy option the u.s. chose, the consequences for afghanistan would be quite devastating. i think the likelihood of a withdrawal from afghanistan within the next let's say sometime before -- i don't know, october 2020, with no peace agreement left behind would very likely lead to an intensified and wade der civil war, more chaotic civil war in afghanistan, not guaranteed but likely. the second is to simply continue doing what it is doing and this is an option that is being promoted by some here in washington. often it is said by those promoting this option that the united states can't afford let's call it 30 billion, 35 billion, the actual numbers are disputed but that the united states can afford to keep paying several billion dollars a year for the afghan security forces. can afford sustaining some let's say 8,000, 8600 if there is a partial draw down troops in afghanistan. technically, literally of course the united states can afford the monetary costs of that. however, those who promote this line entir

u.s. ukrainian relationship if he ceded to the political requests. when i raised this concern with him this was now three weeks ago, he was very ready for my question and he assured me at the time he had no interest in interfering in the u.s. election in 2020. that was at a time we did not know the president had raised these issues with him directly, so i left confident that, you know, perhaps this matter was behind us. we had to figure out why giuliani was still at it. now we know that he in fact was hearing directly from the president. >> there's a parallel story that happens here which is the mystery of the stalled aid. and one of the things that's come out i think in the reporting over the last few weeks and in some ways hiding in plain sight is this wasn't a secret on capitol hill. the president blocking this aid was becoming a bigger and bigger deal to you and your colleagues. >> and it happened outside the normal channels. from everything we've heard, this was a decision made very personally by the president, that he had strong feelings about the need to with hold this aid from ukraine, it surprised republicans and democrats when it came out, so it was ine

u.s. military overseas. a strikingly large portion of the overseas stuff that trump is defunding are projects that come under the heading of something called the european deterrence initiative or the european insurance assurancee, the same program with two different names, set up by the u.s. government to help our nato allies threatened by russia, set up as push back against russian pressure on our nato allies after russia invaded ukraine and took part of the country and started a war in the eastern part of that country. that program to push back on russia, that's the stuff that trump is rescinding funding for overseas. and that of course is a great gift to russia and it's a very hard thing, i assume for the trump administration to defend which is why they're doing it without saying that's what they're doing. one of the things we talked about last night is that that specifically targeted military funding that trump is taking away, that supposed bull work against russia that trump is taking away, that is one of four things that the u.s. government did to try to push back on russia after russia invaded ukraine in 2014, took power to that country for itself and started a war there. the u.s. set up this european
