at the united states is not focused on europe, the united states is not going to continue transatlantic alliance and so on. first of all, i would like to say that the first time i visited the united states was in 1980. then i was 21 years old. no, not 21 years old. i visited the united states together with my father. he was then defense minister of norway and we traveled a week around the united states, different military base in different political think tanks and sold. i guess the same people are still around. the main issue then was the concern about that the united states was not going to be supportive of europe, and that was in 1980. so we have been concerned for many years, but we are still going strong. that means of course we should always be concerned but at the same time went to see that we're able to deliver everyday as a strong alliance, the strongest ever and the strongest in the world. we are able to liver deterrence, able to deliver collective defense that we are able to start together when actually needed. so for instance, as i mentioned in my s

pointing looking for a call to action on those things and not necessarily finding europeans united. is europeow to deal with greece? your previous comment suggests no. >> no, it isn't. that part of europe's more fundamental problem. the level of cohesion is very -- politically, the risks are stronger than they have been in times, and the fact that france and germany are on different sides is not uncommon, but what is uncommon is that they seem to be less interested in over covering these bilateral differences in order to leave europe. greece could be a case for franco german leadership, but that would mean they would not only have to develop a, sue bution on the debt is on how to help greece on reforming its state. does this through existential questions once again for the european project over the summer? >> yes. it will come back. basically, it all comes together. the refugee crisis has a focus on greece. it's this old issue o the southf of europe being very dependent on the rest, and somehow politically it's too difficult to say, how can we make the south more northern? this is one of thos

i would also just also note so we don't turn this into a what's wrong with europe session, the united states has enormous problems with gun violence and with mass shootings that europe doesn't have, and a lot of the inequality that is driving the situation in some of these muslim communities in european cities, there's that inequality here, it's just manifested in a different way and often not focused around the muslim communities. so i think both continents have issues of social inclusion and inequality that are generating different kinds of reactions. but i think, and secondly, i would just note that, while we sort of unintentionally pile on brussels and belgium as sort of they have to get their act together, there are many parts of europe at the national and local level that do have their acts together, and i think particularly at the community level you've seen a number of whether it's in denmark or the netherlands or norway, you've seen really innovative community level programs that are dealing with exactly the kinds of challenges molenbeek is dealing with, sort of the question

europe? and what does this mean for america? and for relations between the united states and europe. and, yeah, i have 25 minutes so it's -- you know, i'm going to have to -- i will -- you will find that i will sort of make certain stark assertions and then please feel free to question in q & a. indeed, i'm going to say out front i have no easy answer s ad i can guarantee you none will get waterboarded nor would you get them if you waterboarded me. these really are complex issues that cut to the most serious questions of national and international governance of our time and i believe that anyone that suggests otherwise is a rat catcher trying to play to a worst fears in order to get us to give in something. money, votes, bank account p.i.n. number, whatever. i hope that i can set out propositions for further question or discussion at the end. so let me start with my first question. what happened this tuesday? so three days ago bombs were detonated within an hour of each other during the morning hour at the busy airport and the belgian capital of bureaucracy sells and the central subw

united states, 95% of the world's markets are outside of our borders. and if we are not there, present, we are going to have problems. now the relationship between europe and the united states is already one of the most robust trading relationships in the world, but what we've discovered is that while strengthening labor provisions and strengthening environmental provisions and standards, we can also eliminate a lot of regulatory and bureaucratic irritants and blockages to trade that would allow us to engage in even more trade. so more goods, create more jobs, and create more prosperity. now with respect to the politics of it, recent surveys in the united states for example, showed that the majority of people still favor trade. they still recognizable on balance that it is a good idea. during presidential elections, it is always tough. when we are in the heat of campaigns, people naturally are going to worry more about what is lost than what is gained with respect to trade agreements. but i am confident that we are going to be able to get this done. keep in mind people didn't think with the transpacific partnership that we would be able to get the auth

united states, and, you know, if the nato budget -- >> do you regret that? >> that we did all the bleeding, yes, i do regret that. if you consider europe and the united states, when you weigh them, about the same size, same clout, but there's nothing like a 50/50 partnership. that's why i say when trump hits this point, he hits a jangling nerve. if you're in nato, then nato is for what? the mutual defense, but first line of defense is europe, and, you know, where is europe to stand up? i don't see that. >> broaden it out more. to you, lisa, isis. how do we fight isis? does the united states have to send 90% of the military might, bombs to fight isis? where are the other arab nations pitching in? >> well, and i think they should. look, i think military relationships, it's complicated, it's con that lewded, and, ultimately, the united states does what's in the best military interest. i agree to a agree with trump on the nato premise in the fact that, you know, people should be paying more, you know, in these sort of partnerships, and, too, you look at a relationship where, you know, a lot of people are questioning what is nato do, and lo

not just the united states. europe, the united states, the gulf region itself has got to help out people who are now in absolute desperation who literally have nothing in their lives but the shirts on their back. >> we get more now from bryan llenas live in our new york city news room. >> reporter: hi. senator bernie sanders believes this two-day trip to the vatican was simply something he could not miss. his campaign manager saying it simply transcends politics. so when asked to go speak toe vatican for a conference on the importance of a moral economy, he went. the surprise was that he met with pope francis for about five minutes this morning. some thought the pontiff wouldn't meet for fear of meddling in u.s. politics. the vermont senator says he thanked the pope for his advocating of morality in the economy. the holy father said the meeting was, quote, nothing more than good manners and had nothing to do with getting mixed up in politics. sanders with amy kellogg agreed. >> oh, no. no. absolutely not. this was -- h

very little opposition to that and no response from the united states and europe of any consequen consequences want to weaken the resolve between the united states and europe. the so-called transatlantic leak. and ultimately, they truly want to put pressure on nato. that's where they're heading. it will be a while before they get there. that's what this is all about. they actually do want to force the collapse of nato. and these are steps towards that objective. >> and it seems like they're constantly taking the steps. as you know nothing is done without vladmir putin's approval. what's his strategy behind the provocative moves beyond taking out nato, but also what he might want to do in terms of rebuilding the old former soviet empire? >> well, he clearly looks at russia as a world power. he knows he's got huge problems. he's got economic problems. this is a country in 11 time zones, largest country in the world and only have 150 million people. they have one of the highest hiv rates and respiratory illness problems in the world. and also cardiovascular disease. despite all of those problems

now, that's less of an issue between the united states and europe. tes and europe is trying to just break down some of the regulatory differences that make it difficult to do business back and forth. plus, making sure those light sockets are all matched up. [ laughter ] i mean, those light sockets are really irritating. [ laughter ] let's see. i promised i was going to call on this gentleman back here. yes, sir. no, no. you keep passing by this poor guy. [ laughter ] >> my name is elijah ebow and i'm from london. after eight years what would you say you want your legacy to be? >> hmm, well, i still have a few more months. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> no, no, no -- [ applause ] >> actually, eight months and 52 days. not that i'm counting. i just made that up. i actually don't know. it's roughly -- something like that. yeah, you know, it's interesting when you're in the job, you're not thinking on a day-to-day basis about your legacy. you're thinking about how do i get done what i'm trying to get done right now. and i don't think that i'll have a good s

michigan in particular, could you comment on what you see as the differences between the united states and europe, and what lessons because we think we have not seen those incidents here in our country come what lessons can be learned from the united states that may be helpful to the european space what is happening here? is a different? elaborate on why that could be a good lesson for others. >> thank you. fortunately, i do think there is a difference. first is a difference in numbers. you look at the per capita number of radicalized individuals. the cases brought by the fbi or foreign fighters have gone to fight in a variety of foreign terrorist complex. the numbers are quite low per capita incomes are just. in terms of foreign fighters in this most recent context of syria and iraq, probably 200 or so. with wonderful information about foreign fighters and, in fact, that american recently turned himself in to the kurdish authorities deployed on video i think was not known to u.s. authorities. we don't have a full picture but the numbers are much smaller than what we see in europe. second, muslim

europe. as always we will do so while upholding our values and civil liberties including the privacy of citizens here and in the united states. i want to once again commend angela for her courageous leadership as germany and europe respond to migrants who are desperately fleeing the syrian conflict and conflicts elsewhere in the region. perhaps because she ones lived behind a wall herself angela understands the aspirations of those who have been denied their freedom and who seek a better life and i know the politics around this issue can be difficult in all of our countries, we did discuss the eu's recent agreement with turkey and angela and i agree that our nations can respond to this challenge in a way that is both humane an ensures our security. finally as we look ahead to this summer's nay toe summit we discussed the importance of keeping the alliance strong with the investments needed for our collective defense. we continue to augment on a rotational basis nato forces in eastern europe including the baltic states. as i've said from the very beginning of our presidency we have a treaty obligation to defend every n

if we don't complete political transitions in the united states and europe mean this won't be finished for sometime. >> he addressed the 500th anniversary of germany's beer purity law. >>> activists are calling for mayor bill de blasio to step down amid allegations of political scandal. >> this city right now is torn apart. >> if you feel and love new york city the way you say you do, you would do right by stepping back. >> they want to start the process of impeaching de blasio. federal investigators are probing him in cases of fundraising efforts in senate races. it accuses the de blasio administration of deliberately sidestepping campaign fundraising laws to try to help democrats win the state senate. mayor de blasio denies the allegations. >>> a lot more news ahead here. the terrifying moments that unfolded as a gunman opens fire, wounding two people before being killed himself. that story coming up in our next half hour. >>> also ahead, pool plunge. look at that. what led a couple to crash into a swimming pool on their way to church. >>> and a sold out performance of "the king and

my state in particular, could you comment a what you see as the differences between the united states and europe, and what lessons because we, thankfully, have not seen those types of incidents here in our country, what lessons can be learned from the united states that may be helpful to the europeans? so what is happening here? is it is it different? elaborate on why that could be a good lesson for others areas. i'll start with mr. zarate. juan carlos zarate: thank you. i think it is a difference. first, a difference in the numbers. capitak at th per number of individuals who have gone to fight in a variety of foreign terrorist conflicts, and the numbers are quite low per capita in terms of the u.s.. in terms of foreign fighters and syria and iraq, we are looking at 200 or so. now, given we don't have full information about foreign fighters, and in fact, that american who recently turned himself in to the kurdish authorities that played on video, i think was not known to u.s. authorities. and so i think we don't have a full picture, but the numbers are much smaller than what we see in europe, w

united states at the time. the stakes are very high now. if britain leaves europe, the united states loses its closest ally that has the ability to influence europe. what does that mean? sanctions against russia. sanctions against iran. the broadening of the free market in europe and the question of what the european foreign and defense policy is, what european economic policies whether it is more pro american or pro atlantis. they are ones on which britain has been a progressive force from the american point of view. it has furthered american ideas within the european union. if britain were to leave, for the united states, that's a big deal. you have a europe that's then run entirely by the french and the germans and close allies, they do not share quite the same world view that britain and the united states do. >> i'm joined by cnn white house correspondent michelle kosinski live in london and chief correspondent jim sciutto and cnn contributor and co-author of "isis: inside the army of terror," michael weisz. let me start with you, michelle. some of the interest
