privilege here at the the headquarters to express strong support of president trump's and the united states of america for nato and our transatlantic alliance. the united date has been a proud and faithful member of nato since its founding in 1949. the alliance plays a crucial and in the north atlantic the world. the united states commitment to nato is clear. as we speak, president trump's is developing plans to make sure the strongest military in the world becomes stronger still. mr.me are sure you secretary that in the united states, we are about the process of strengthening our military and restoring the arsenal of democracy working with members tocongress we intend increase military funding to make it possible for us to provide for the common defense of the people of the united states but also meet the obligations that we have with our treaty allies including in this his store treaty. america therefore i can say with confidence, america will do our part but europe's defense requires europe's commitment. as much as ours. at the whale summit in 2014, all 28 members of the nato alliance de

than the united states is on you. down to that raw thing about leverage, the us has the leverage, you don't. yeah. you're right. we all lose. but look at this, we have a trade agreement with europe. we have a trade agreement with britain including with the european union. if britain gets out, still, we can put together a trade agreement. is larger than the grosspreduct so, we just have to look to outside. we have a trade agreement with asia, we have trade agreements with latin america. so mexico is the trade economy that has more trade agreements than anyone else. so far in this interview we've had "crazy," "dumb," and "stupid," all applied by you to donald trump. i mean, the geography of this is simple, you and the united states will be locked together forever whether you like it or not. and that other word, the "f—word," which you have used about your refusal to pay for the wall, there is something about using the appropriate tone and establishing a dialogue. it seems to me that you, with your attitude to donald tru

on the united states' whole hearted and unequivocal support of the idea of a united europe. the world would be a decidedly were notce if europe united. americans know best what great value it is to be united and that becoming divided is the prelude to a fall. it is in the interest of us all to prevent the disintegration of the west. as for our continent, in this respect, we will not invent anything better than the european union. matters, i these heard today from vice president pence, three times, yes. after such a positive discussion, both europeans and americans must simply practice what they preach. on saturday, in munich, you during your trip across europe in 1977, with your older brother, you found yourself at some point in west berlin. marveling at what you saw. and then crossing through checkpoint charlie only to see the shadow of repression hanging over people. have -- i had been living under the shadow for over 30 years. what i vividly remember from my own past is how after martial in was imposed in poland december 1981, president ronald reagan urged all americans t

so the united states exports to mexico would hurt more than mexican exports to the united states.an agricultural goods, mexico's compliant rate is 20%. so this outcome would hurt the united states more than it would hurt mexico in terms of experts -- exports. and finally mexico's made it clear that it will respond to any u.s. import taxes with taxes of its own on trade. with my final comment, more productively, mexico is also aggressively playing the china carpet we've all heard the numbers that imports from mexico into the united states contain 40% u.s. content. china is only 4%. mexico is using that fact with the trump administration but mexico also realizes that the united states needs it to remain globally competitive. if the united states wants to reduce the trade deficit with china it needs to trade with mexico because we produce things together and produce things competitively together. and finally if taxes are imposed on trade with mexico, it's not going to leave those job to come back to the united states. it will lead those jobs to go to another low-cost producer in orde

the united states. extremely unfair transaction. we're going to work with mexico, we're going to make it a fair deal for both parties. i think that we're going to get along very well with mexico. they understand and we understand, you probably have noticed that ford is making billions of dollars of new investments in this country. you saw intel the other day announce that, because of what i've been doing and what i'm doing in terms of regulation, lowering taxes, etc., they're coming in with billions and billions of dollars of investment and thousands and thousands of jobs. general motors like-wise is expanding plants and going to build new plants. fiat chrysler was at a meeting where they're doing the same. we have so many people that want to come into the united states. it's actually very exciting. i think it's going to be a very exciting period of time for the united states and for the workers of the united states. because they have been truly the forgotten man and forgotten woman. it's not going to b

back in 1935, the united states supreme court wrote about this role of a united states attorney, and i think it applies similarly to the attorney general, and i would quote -- "a federal prosecutor is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all and whose interests therefore in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case but that justice be done. the supreme court continued -- "as such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense a servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer." i support senator sessions as attorney general of the united states not only because his experience makes him qualified to serve but more importantly because his character makes him qualified to serve. senator sessions will in the words of the supreme court be a servant of the law and will make certain that justice is done for all americans. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. mrs. murray: mr. president? the presid

being made in the united states. those japanese businesses have created a large number of jobs. the mutually beneficial economic relations have been built in the japan and the united states. with president trump taking on the leadership i am sure there , will be major infrastructure change made, including more trains. lots of you who have roads appreciate you would the speed, comfort and safety , with the latest technology from washington dc. to new york, where trump tower hour would it one take to write this mag-lift train from washington dc to new york. with our high level of capability we will be able to contribute to president trump's growth strategy. there will be even new jobs in -- more new jobs born in the united states. to further deepen this by lateral relation -- bilateral , there will be a dialogue held, and we have agreed on this. furthermore, in asia-pacific where we see dramatic growth, to expand free trade and investments, this will be a big chance for both japan and the united states. of course, it m

it says led by the united states.mand has doubled the landing forces attached to the 6th fleet, the marine compliment with the slips, the em peeralist -- in particular the le bonn neez people. that's typical of the type of statements that the soviet are making about the united states navy. and the marine core. it tells of imperialist, wall treat, so part. >> mr. alan, don't soviet and propaganda show america opposed to all color races. >> yes, i do. i seen that when i was serving in india. they try to make it appear that the americans are the most kras conscious people in the world. actually, the experience of people in that part of the world dealing with the americans is the best way to counter act that when our navial ships are stationed in that part of the world, and the armed services is the most useful way to combat that type of soviet propaganda. also last fall we are experience when marry anderson went up to the far end making her apersons as an american and speaking to the people about the racial questions in

they were coming to the united states and get a u.s. degree that they hoped would advance their careers in mexico. however, the difference is between student migrants and labor migrants were not clear. they could be confused for labor migrants in some situations, which student could take offense because of their own class prejudices. so they were a particular group of migrants, but they absolutely fall in the broader group of mexicans in the united states. were students from better backgrounds come in terms of wealth and their parents, were the way they were treated by the u.s. government, by immigration officials, with a different? jennifer: i would say so. for the laborers, it was very this pointess of, at in the 1950's -- i go forward on the way to 1996 and i-8 can explain that -- and i can expend it later -- but it was a process of screening who would be better laborers and agriculture at the time. it was very fluid with the bracero program. but it would only allow people period of time, only a season or two and and they were suppos

the united states summit, we w -- the united states said, we w ill. and they help to get everyone signed up and said, we will set these benchmarks and we will start to remove trade barriers. why do you want to impose tariffs? tariffs are taxes on your own people. you want to reduce taxes, right? you want to reduce tariffs. the second thing is, about 20 years ago, an order to make an advanced manufactured good, you would have componentry for maybe four or five different countries. the raw materials, something would be made, a semi conductor in one country, robotics and together.hat all come about five different countries would form part of that. manufactured good. today, about 20 countries. so, if every country starts imposing taxes, the end good is going to end up twice, three times more costly. which takes it out of the accessible range for a lot of people. faster we canhe remove trade barriers, the faster we can get rid of taxes and terrace, the better. now, some countries are not complying. and do not comply. you have got to bring them along. you h

can i congratulate the government on a very successful visit to the united states of america and for putting the united kingdom of britain and island on the top. does the secretary of state recognize a touch of the double standard when people from olster have been told for decades they must talk with the most objectionable of people and work with the most objectionable people and be in government for them and must not have the president of the most democratic country of the world not in our country. can i encourage him to ensure the state visit proceeds? can i also give advice to northern ireland citizens who currently hold irish passports but entitled to full british passports should they be app applyiapply ing for british passports for ease of travel to the united states? >> i completely agree with the point the honorable gentleman rightly makes. president trump and his administration have not, to the best of my knowledge, been engaged in terrorist offenses on mainland britain, unlike those, of course, with whom he and his party were asked to negotiate. >> given the reservations tha

isn't a regime there or a government there that can provide valid, important information to the united states? >> the syrian refugee s go through extreme vetting, they're interviewed not once but twice, vetted by the united nations. wh if we can't verify that they did and are subject the type of persecution, they will not be permitted to come to the united states. they're screened by multiple agencies to make sure they have no ties to terrorism. most are young children and women. these are not terrorists. these are the victims of terrorists. >> so let me just point out, senator schumer, you're a democratic leader in the senate, the minority leader. he just tweeted, president trump ought to see the writing on the wall, abandon proposal, roll up his sleeves, and come up with a real bipartisan plan to keep us safe. i assume you agree, but is that realistic? you know donald trump, the president of the united states, do you think he'll accept the advice from senator shumer? >> well, i think it was three years ago there was a bipartisan support in the united states senate. we passed a comprehensive

and so it looks to the united states and says hey, i need your help to kind of bring these guys back to kind of crush this re l rebellion and bring it into the new state of the congo. the united states for their part is like i don't know if i really want -- we don't know if we want you to have complete control over that. those are the kinds of ideas that are circulating in terms of the congo. they would have much rather instead of out with his drive to unite the congo. he said it was probably his most fatal flaw. he said you aren't going to help me. let's see if the soviets will help me. the united states says, oh, threat. it's a threat if this new government is going to sort of align with the soviet union then that's a problem that needs to be rectified when they assassinated him, so i don't really need to know for you to see that kind of conflict into which these african american ambassadors were stepping as kind of the face of the united states in africa, kind of putting the best foot forward even while the united states foreign policy was doing something praps a little bit less th

whoever the united states he? , it's the prerogative of the american people and we work constructively and honestly and loyally for the values continue to be shaped. that is what you do. and we are ever mined old that there are 150,000 dead american soldiers buried in between japan. america is mindful of that. all of those souls who fight and died for the values that made america great. and they will never leave and should never leave the asia-pacific region. of course the dynamic shifts. america is somehow expect dead to solve every problem around the world. i get the burden can sometimes be traveling to the american people. when you lose your job in chicago or detroit and jobs end up going to china or to eastern europe. sometime you don't feel as magnanimous as you might have china has lost 19 million manufacturing jobs between 1995 and 2005. automation, robotics, companies moving their manufacturing to achieve destination with low wages. it happens. the question is how do you live the time so that all votes are

it is going to be a very exciting period of time for the united states and for the workers of the united states. because they have been truly the forgotten man and forgotten woman. it's not going to be forgotten anymore, believe me. so, our relationship with canada is outstanding. and we're going to work together to make it even better. as far as the southern border's concerned, we're going to get that worked out, we're going to make it fair, but we are going to make it so that everybody is happy. it's very important to me. thank you. thank you very much, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.

and even japan and the united states. hearing trump unequivocally support japan and with the trip that james mattis took here to south korea unequivocally stating the united states supports south korea in its efforts to push back against the north kore north korea regime, there is a general sense of relief among south korean officials that the united states isn't going anyway and that it is willing to work with the south korean government as it attempts to tackle the continued provocations from north korea. >> matt rivers live in seoul, south korea following the story. thank you for the reporting and context on this. we'll stay in touch with you. >>> u.s. and south korean officials believe the test was either a medium range intermediate range ballistic missile. it traveled just over 300 miles. take a look at this map. about 500 kilometers represented by the number one red line. >> north korea has missiles that can reach, and i want you to pay special attention to the graph and why it makes people so jittery. missiles that

there will be even new jobs in the united states. with this bilateral be aionship, there will dialogue and we have agreed on this. , in asia-pacific ,here we see dramatic growth free trade and investment, this will be a big chance for both japan and the states. it must be done in a fair matter. should a state or company backed by capitals they should not make any economic intervention. free right to intellectual property should not be condoned. in asia-pacific region with japan and the u.s., there is leadership that could create free and fair markets based upon rules it should be built. trump and i have concerns on that bill. the cornerstone of peace and prosperity in asia-pacific that is the strong japan u.s. alliance. there is an unwavering alliance between the two countries. i am president trump will work together to strengthen our alliance that we have shared. increasingly difficult security environments we have tax ons about the article five. under the banner of proactive contributions to japan it will play a greater role. maint

the united states our great democracy. america will have to deal with its own divisions and discussions. i know that as europeans we are specialized in making every crisis our own crisis. i think it is clear this american crisis that has a don't -- that has to be dealt by americans. i'm confident that our american friends will find the way out of and continued to be that great country that most of you recognize they are. they will continue to be. here if not to solve the american contradictions, but it is clear our own policies, our own them.sts, be true to this is also a to you. and many others in the european institution. be strong and show leadership. we might have lost one important partner on some sides. but this makes our leadership even more important, relative -- important, relevant, and indispensable. people are looking at the european union now. looking at the european union now has a point of -- when it comes to free and fair trade, when it comes to respect. not only institutional relations but new relations. wh

russia, the united states followed by france, china, great britain, pakistan, india, israel and north korea. the world's are nuclear arms states. 70 years after the invention of nuclear weapons, the united states and russia still have the world's largest nuclear arsenals. the numbers are down from the cold war years due to successful .rms relations there are missiles that can be fired intercut -- intercontinental. the leaders of russia and the u.s. have sole authority to launch nuclear missiles. president trump has the codes that follow him around and can launch about 900 nuclear weapons under 10 minutes. this is one of the most awesome responsibilities of any american , reducing the risk of nuclear weapons, preventing proliferation, and avoiding nuclear catastrophe in that requires good relations with russia and these other nuclear armed countries. thoseyou have broken down missiles that are deployed, stockpiled, and those that have been retired. retired, it was about 2500 nuclear weapons. about 2800 in the u.s.. guest: right, those weapons you deployed, there are strategic nuclear w

crisis in our relationship with our closest neighbor, a country that has done more to benefit the united states than any other country i can imagine. a country who is the number one trading partner of the state of texas, the third largest trading partier of -- partner of the united states, our third largest partner on security and growth and hemispheric issues. it's important to take this opportunity to ensure that our colleagues in the house have the facts and it is with those facts that we can make better decisions, informed judgments, and the policy that's truly going to benefit not just the u.s.-mexico border, not just border states like texas, new mexico, arizona, and california, but the entire united states. here's some facts that i'd like to start with, then i want to ensure that some of my colleagues who can bring their wisdom and experience and perspective to this are able to do so. the first fact we should know is that we have record low levels of north-bund migration from mexico. in fact, more mexican nationals today are going south into mexico than are coming north into the united s

they always say, they're going to pursue punitive actions, working with their a y allies like the united states to do so and they're trying to further clarify exactly whether this test was a success or a failure in the eyes of the north koreans. telling perhaps that we haven't seen any state media announcements coming out of north korea. oftentimes you see state media in north korea use grand rhetoric when talking about extreme successes by kim jong-un, the great leader of north korea as they call him. and so we haven't seen that yet. south korean officials still piecing together the evidence here but frankly this is something they have been through before and they're just dealing with it once again. >> so interesting that we haven't seen that reaction from state media in north korea because as you said they usually use is as a propaganda tool. in terms of the fact that this was not an intercontinental ballistic missile, what is the read on that from where you're sittinging in south korea? >> that -- had an icbm would have been tested, that is what would have made this test stand out. on januar

and that there are concerns today as it relates to the issues of a ban on muslims entering the united states. i'll not go into great detail here, but just to say that it's clear that the state of washington has an opinion about this. and that our attorney general and our governor are trying to represent that viewpoint in a judicial process. it's important to me that we get these issues right because i want to protect the civil liberties of individuals and i see a path forward for us to be tough on these cases. that is the true cases of terrorist activity. i say that because we had a case long ago of an individual, ra savment m, who entered the united states in port angeles, washington. he had come from algiers and when he got to france, he cooked up a new identity and when he left france and went to canada, he cooked up another identity. and then he arrived at the u.s. border from canada on a boat with explosives and a plan to either blow up the space needle or travel down to lax and blow up the lax airport. the very good work of custom and border agents, who somehow couldn't figure out how

mexico needs the united states, and the united states needs mexico.ill always be neighbors, therefore the most convenient thing is to have things worked equally on both ends based on respect that both countries deserve. and history has already shown that is the best way to go. thank you very much, mr. secretary, now we will invite mr. kelly. [speaking spanish] >> i always enjoy returning to a place of friendship. the relationship between the united states and mexico is among, i believe, the most critical of the world. not only are we connected by 1900 miles of border, we are also connected by trade, culture, history, and a commitment to democracy. >> jenna: kateri kelly kelly, deferment of homeland security kateri speaking in mexico city but we have to run from this event and we will continue to watch what is happening in mexico city. in the meantime, we will go back to maryland to cpac where to top advisors for president trump have taken the stage. we're going to show you that live, reince priebus and stephen bannon, steve bennett rarely making appea

for the united states that is 3% that the united states charges with the rest of the world. mexico has a slightly higher rate so the exports would hurt more than those in the united states and of the agricultural goods it is 20% for this outcome would hurt the united states more than it would hurt mexico in terms of exports. finally mexico made it clear that it would respond to any taxes on its own. with my final comment, more productively mexico is also aggressively playing the china card and we've heard numbers imports contained 40% u.s. content and china is only 4% and mexico is using that fact with the trump administration but mexico also realizes the united states needed to remain globally competitive to reduce the trade deficit with china if needs to trade with mexico because we've produced things together and competitively. finally, if the taxes are imposed with mexico that isn't going to leave them to come back to the united states committed well to go to another low-cost producer in order to be able to compete globally and with that i will finish my remarks. thank y

made into the united states.and the japanese businesses -- and those japanese businesses have created a large number of jobs. the mutually beneficial economic relationship has been built by japan and the united states with president trump taking on the leadership, i am sure there will be measurable investments to be made. made. i am sure you would appreciate the speed, comfort, and safety with the latest technology. if you ride the train from washington d.c. to new york, japan -- we will be able to contribute to trump's growth strategy. there will be more new jobs in the united states. but to further deepen bilateral economic relations between deputy prime minister axel and the vice president of japan, there will be a dialogue to be held. and we have agreed on this. furthermore, in the asia-pacific where we see dramatic growth, we will expand free trade and investment which will be a big chance for both japan and the united states. but it must be done in a fair manner. never should a state owned company backed by

the rules about getting to the united states affect the entire united states and i find it's n unconstitutional what the trump administration has done and for the sake of uniformity of approach i'm going to apply this to the entire united states. he's a federal judge but it's unusual. >> it was only a matter of time before the trump administration responded, vowing to defend it. can they succeed? >> that's a great question. if boston appellate court that looked at the order up there ruled in favor of the trump administration so on balance the trump administration has some good arguments to bring to a higher court to say that this judge made a mistake. but the ninth circuit court is a liberal court and it's a cord that might rule against the trump administration and if that happened it will all end up in the supreme court. >> u.s. customs and border protection gave the word to major passenger carriers. >>> an airline executive tells cnn tells us they will regulate passengers with u.s. visas to travel to the united states. >>> a statement on i website reads, nationals and all refugees seeking adm
