but you will see seeing things that countries that have been treating the united states, and the united states workers and companies. i view companies as an extension of the worker, that have been treating our companies, our country, and our workers very unfairly. you will be seeing the united states will take very, very strong action. it already started. but most of of the legal foundation has been done. and you are going to see a very big difference. and it will happen soon. the united states by many countries has been treated very, very unfairly when it comes to trade. thank you very much. >> regarding japan, defense equipment, a lot of them we purchase from the united states. the north korea situation becomes very tough, the asia pacific security situation becoming very tough. we qualitatively and quantitatively we have to enhance our defense capability. as the president mentioned. block 2a is another plan for purchase from the united states. aegis vessels, the quality and the quantity must be enhanced. in that process we'll be buying more from the united states. that is what i'm th

i also made very clear the united states will promote a free and open indo pacific in which nations enjoythe respect they deserve. in vietnam during a state visit to hanoi i met with president quan and prime minister fuchs to discuss the friendship between our countries. are vietnamese partners taking new actions to enforce sanctions on north korea. we committed to expand trade and investment between our countries, we pledge to address the imbalances. i'm particularly pleased the united states and vietnam recently announced $12 billion in commercial agreements which will include $10 billion in us content. i visited the philippines where i met with numerous world leaders and the us and east asia summit. the association of southeast asian nations, we made it clear that no one owns the ocean. freedom of navigation and overflight are critical to the security and prosperity of all nations. i also met with prime ministers of india, australia and japan to discuss shared commitment to a free and open indo pacific. during our visit, the president of the philippines thanked the american people and

yielded to his american counterpart well if you look at the public opinion in countries such as the united states the united kingdom the fear factor with regard to. is still visible and even has gained more strength so i think it's still it's still holds. what i what i what i what i used in rather derogative terms i'm afraid well i think when it comes to negative press present putin now has some competition from president trump who is also strongly disliked in some quarters which makes prime minister's abbé treatment of both of this man a very respectful very friendly treatment quite can speak here it stands out in comparison to how other countries conduct their diplomacy with both russia and the united states one of the calculus behind. before paying huge amount of attention to what the media say of these two individuals. on one hand on the other hand he is the one that wishes to see them in person and that's the approach that he has taken prior to donald trump taking office if you remember about a year ago then president elect donald trump met in the. mansion in new york and then with. those me

beneficiaries in the united states she explained to me the reason why she came to the united states was because of the civil war in incredible violence and a lot of inhumane treatment. for a nationals and she had to cross multiple country. through various. train airplane to arrive to the united states in one thousand nine hundred six to provide her family. with a better life. just that this is a very compassionate program what was a politics like at the time key remember do you recall whether lawmakers felt that this was a good thing that the u.s. could do some neighbors other countries that were suffering it could have been from a natural disaster it could be from a political disaster. well it actually was never meant to help people who were suffering it was meant to help people who happened to be in the united states at a time of a catastrophic event in their home country to not have to return at the time that they were supposed to or to not be deported if they were found by u.s. immigration authorities so it's really not a humanitarian program as much as just a way to put off deporta

the united states promoted private enterprise, innovation and industry. her countries use government run industrial planning and state owned enterprises. we adhered to wto principles on protecting intellectual property and ensuring fair and equal market access. they engaged in product market dumping, currency manipulation and predatory practices. they ignore the rules to gain advantage over those who follow the rules causing enormous distortions in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade itself. such practices, along with our collective failure to respond to them hurt many people in our country and also in other countries. jobs, factories and industries were stripped out of the united states and out of many countries in addition. many opportunities for mutually beneficial investments were lost because people could not trust the system. we can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses. we will not tolerate them. despite years of broken promises, we were told that someday soon, everyone would behave fairly and responsibly. people

to shoot it down or the united states to do so. out it had these needs may arise stronger relationships that otherwise exist. i think the president when he's outside of the united states he has strong political instincts to guide his behavior. he gets treated with respect around the world. he likes that. he has in securities. he doesn't have them bruised by what goes on. he behaviors, as i mentioned he behaves differently. he is serious and doesn't know everything about the world. his behavior is different, marketly so i think. >> bret: yes. thank you, brit. >> thank you, bret. >> bret: when we return to seoul, south korea, a small texas community in mourning here in the town that has taken this amazing and horrific event over the weekend. 26 people killed. that story when we come come back. meet grant. his family. his steinway, which met a burst pipe. so grant met his insurance: you are caller number 12. which didn't quite cover the steinway. but what if he'd met pure insurance? owned by members. he'd have met: lisa, your member a

but this i'm glad we're going to end on this point here because it's just a world view for the united states that the you know polar moment will never end but the reality on. the ground tells his completely different that the unit polar moment is crumbling it's like sand going through your hands and it's a traumatic feeling for the foreign policy establishment and you know it's not the we don't have to worry about a rising china but it's a declining us with its military go ahead forty seconds daniel last word one of my favorite modern thinkers is nicholas in the scene to eleven he talks about fragility in anti fragility u.s. foreign policy is extremely fragile any change in the world system because it is not flexible and it disintegrates the us has military in fifty three out of fifty four countries in africa the chinese are also there but they're not there with their military they're doing business and making deals that's an anti fragile approach to the world the us the fragile approach to foreign policy is doomed to fail unless there's some new thinking ok you perfectly into the second her

they are highly skeptical if not hostile to the united states and the west. this focus unites them.i would say tensions with united states and the suspicion this case generates strengthens the power of these neo-nationalist forces in the turkish government. >> if you want to speculate, do you think, erdogan really wants them back? is it just this technical political ploy? >> i do believe you once and back. that, the i believe latest revelations on how he -- if you areim to believe the claims, they have not been confirmed yet but, i think the government has been wanting him back but at the same time, rather he wants more is the question. inin, we now know that september of 2016 when the president spoke to president biden after the coup, 65 days the trauma was still being felt very much in turkey. in this meeting he talked about reza zarrab the -- reza zarrab case. i think he wants him back but more than [inaudible] >> happy to hear about this for you, but i guess would you agree with that assessment? thanould he want him more gulen? turkey was involved in undermining ally interest wi

the united states doesn't seek to fight the government or proceeds reinforces, however the united stateswill not hesitate to use force to defend the partner forces engaged in a campaignoa against isis. the authority to use force is further reinforced by the authorization for the military force against iraq in more plain terms the 2002 aumf. in addition to the authority granted by the statute, the president has the power under article two in the constitution to use military force in certain circumstances to advance important u.s. national interest, including to defend the united states against it or risk attack. as an example, president ronald reagan relied on his commander in chief in 1986 when he ordered air strikes against terrorist facilities and militaryin installations following a terrorist attack in west berlin. ..failure to do so could cause operational paralysis in confusion in military operations. diplomatically speaking, it could cause our allies to question our commitment to defeating isis and potential repeal of a amf without an immediate and appropriate replacement could rai

is resolutely hostile to united states interests, that the united states is behind the coup and support for ypg, i think is a more legitimate cause tore complaint, this will lead to a rupture of u.s.-turkish relations and lead them to a desperate search for allies and they have to make do with russia and iran. i think its first choice stays in nato where it gets the benefits of cooperation with the west. given the deep anger and paranoia, whether that rational prevails remains to be seen. >> on what you just laid out, nick, erdogan has gone to tehran and said tehran is my second home he has at times been in an up and down policy and has brother affection for the iranian regime or i need to find somebody other than the united states to work with. what do you think? >> we kraipt a few years ago on a study honored wan's foreign policy. it talks about the oscillation of ideas where he was very much building on this idea we can work jointly with iran. it now seems to be going back out of necessity to a different approach to iran again. there is this thing, me against my brother and m

implementation of this strategy so we will continue to have partnership between japan and the united states so that we can contribute to jointly to the peace and stability of the region. sometimes some states first question steve holland. pardon me thank you sir in response to the texas shooting what policies would you support to reduce these violent actions is going to intro the answer and secondly you spoke yesterday about the warmth of the north korean people what's your message to their leader kim jong un as you prepare to head to south korea tomorrow tomorrow if i can ask the prime i'm going to ask my minister a question as well could you respond to what the president said this morning that trade is not free and reciprocal what the united states thank you as far as the north korean people are concerned steve i think that these are great people there under a very repressive regime and i really think that ultimately i can tell you this that i hope it all works out better for everybody certainly would be better for north korea but it would be better for everybody so we hope that's going t

perspective in all of this the united states is not and cannot be a proxy of the saudis because they have their own interests and they're pursuing them right now so i can understand why the saudis perhaps thought that this is a good moment to escalate tensions i don't understand why that would be a good thing from the u.s. perspective and that's where a lot of concern is coming in which is is donald trump pursuing u.s. interests here or is he essentially just being led around by the saudis on this issue and of course the iran nuclear deal you know big topic trump is now looking to sabotage seems to work same to work ok. they under obama and the u.s. didn't get a nuclear iran iran got the sanctions lifted why is this white house team so how band scuttling this still isn't good for the u.s. i certainly think it's good for the u.s. you have the secretary of state the secretary of defense to chairman of the chiefs of staff. i believe even mcmaster all recognizing that it lies in the interest of the united states to continue with the nuclear deal they may have some concerns about certain

the bassett to the united states use of a tape. those are the headlines on al-jazeera the stream that's coming up next. germany is hosting this is climate talks president trump has united states out of the powers agreements with enough of the global efforts to tackle climate change that's analysis of live reports from the climate conference in bones and from the front lines of growth the warming climate s.o.s. just you know. good. times i mean ok and you're in the strain today how is u.s. president all transfers since he was allowed to call and we're joined by a special panel of naturalized u.s. citizens to haiti chavez thoughts on this very. welcome. and i'm willing to be glad he started out his first day in office in january setting out his priorities. it's going to be only america first american first. every decision on trains on taxes on immigration on foreign affairs will be made to benefit american workers and american families we must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries make you know our products stealing

one of them, conspiracy against united states. basically the fraud in the united states. the other is defrauding u.s. banking. the other one is money laundering. the fourth one is -- will come back to me. about 75 years they are asking for. for reza zarrab. but experts say actually if the judge counts every transaction in this money laundering it could be really, really long, which apparently is the -- how these things go. so we are looking at maybe more than a century of jail sentence. all these allegations, of course. reza zarrab was not convicted in turkey. and dismissed his charges. and the police and the prosecutors who launched those investigations also dismissed and i think many of them either fled or in jail. and here 20 months we have seen dozens of pretrial conferences, hearings. but we have not so far had a person, convicted person that we can say. so these are allegations. >> svante, johan alluded to the background of this of zarrab's arrest in 2013. can you tell us the context for that? >> sure. for me the case of reza zarrab is very symptom mick of turkish-a

- the conversation in washington is whether tillerson did or did not call the president of the united states a moron, rest assured the secretary of state of the united states, does not have any credibili on the international scene. >> that's -- >> it's not a judgment of him, there may not be anyway around, but that's scary. >> so far the iranians have been benefiting from what trump has been doing. >> politically, inside of iran, how do you expect them to take advantage of that. they're benefiting at the moment. how do you expect they'll take advantage of that. >> far, the political balance has not shifted dramatically, in the sense that rouhani is still there. if the europeans cave and they go along with the u.s. position, which so far they are resisting tooth and nail, then ultimately, that will have a very negative impact for the forces responsible to make sure this deal will come abut that risks bringing about the situation which is a much more hardline elements -- we all remember the problems ahmadinejad created with the aggressive and belligerent -- >> there's also a deeper problem. yo

i also made very clear that the united states will promote a free and open indo-pacific in which nationsnjoy the independence and respect they deserve. in vietnam, during a state visit in hanoi, i also met with president kuan and prime minister fook to discuss the growing friendship between our countries. our vietnamese partners are taking new 15 actions to increase sanctions on north korea. we pledged to address the imbalances. i am particularly pleased that the united states and vietnam recently announced $12 billion in commercial agreements, which will include $10 billion in u.s. content. finally, i visited the philippines where i met with numerous world leaders at the u.s. asean and east asia summits. at asean, the association of southeast asian nations, we made it clear that no one owns the ocean. freedom of navigation and overflight are critical to the security and prosperity of all nations. i also met with the prime ministers of india, australia and japan to discuss our shared commitment to a free and open indo-pacific. during our visit, president duterte of the philippines thanke

i represent the united states. his views are different on things, but they are pretty similar on trade. the problem we have with china is that for decades they've been -- you know, it's been unfair -- let me be kind to previous administrations. it's been a very unfair trade situation. our trade deficit is massive. it's hundreds of billions of dollars a year, anywhere from 350 billion to 504 billion, and that doesn't include intellectual property. and we've already started discussions with china because it has to come down. it has to come down. and that has to do with really free trade, fair trade, or reciprocal trade. and, frankly, i like reciprocal the best of the group because when you explain to somebody that you're going to charge tariffs in order to equal ize or you're going to do other things, some people that don't get it, they don't like to hear that. but when you say it's going to be reciprocal, that we're going to charge the same as they're charging us, the people that don't want a 5% or 10% tariff say, o

well he's he's absolutely right the united states has been vetting immigrants has been vetting refugees up to a degree that hardly anyone from the middle east can come into the country anymore especially from countries where refugees do need do need a place to go to like syria like libya and other countries i think that the president president from is politicizing the event just like like the demo democrats would have it and at the same time i think that the united states states is doing too much what the european europeans are not doing we have seen that refugees some refugees might pose pose a security threat we have seen that in germany where refugees have been responsible for most of the terrorist plots in two thousand and sixteen and two thousand and seventeen i think that the problem here in the u.s. is different you won't solve the problem by vetting more refugees here in the u.s. we do have a relatively high number of so-called lone actor attacks. by by radical muslims and these are normally normally not in this case possible simply because of crazy gun laws that is why islamic

but you will be seeing things of countries that have been treating the united states and the united states worker, and companies, because i view the companies as an extension of the worker, but have been treating our companies, our country, and our workers very unfairly. you will be seeing that the united states will take very, very strong action. it's already started. but most of the legal foundation has now been done. and you're going to see a very big difference and it will happen very soon. because the united states has been treated very, very unfairly when it comes to trade. thank you very much. >> translator: regarding japan, defense equipment, a lot of them we purchase from the united states. north korean situation is becoming very tough. the asia pacific security situation is becoming very tough. we qualitively and quantitatively have to enhance our defense capability. as the president mentioned, f-35 is a case in point. we have other plans to purchase from the united states. egis vessels, the quality and the quantity must be enhanced. in that process, we will be buying more from t

but when you travel to asia, you really feel the absence of the united states. u feel the absence of the state department. look, this is the first time in history that a sitting head of the counsel of foreign relations called for the resignation of a sitting secretary of state. there's a reason for that. because it's such a unique circumstance we're facing. not just in the u.s. but the world. >> we will have to have you back to see if rex tillerson take's richard haass's advice. >>> next, princes and top officials under arrest at the ritz carlton. what is really going on in saudi arabia? in a moment. hey, man. oh! nice man cave! nacho?

can be europeans behind closed doors to push back generally speaking the relationship between united states and its allies has been one of a susan vassals and the vassals have among themselves agreed to always to do and say what everything i've states tells them to say how long this will go on is under question no because of the the unpredictability of trump and the american foreign policy i think there are many of our allies who are smiling to the television cameras and smiling to the reporters and saying all of my sounds but our thinking and among themselves how to reassure themselves not by breaking up institutions or overturning the world order but by pushing back within the existing institutions to defend their interests more you know michael and i was very disappointed when president. during a public appearance and i'm sorry he i think he chimed in when the japanese prime minister was talking he said we're going to tell you more weapons i found that to be disappointing because if the future of that region is the future of the world you look at the countries i mean their middle classes

in may, the united states transferred the u.s. coast guard cutter morgan fall to the people and country of vietnam. named for u.s. treasury secretary henry morgan donald jr.. the vietnamce war. the same americans is sailing the waters of the pacific -- it on its way to patrol these coasts for the people of vietnam. this month, we mark veterans day in the united states. out of war and conflict, we have achieved a deep friendship, partnership, we have achieved peace. bound by mutual respect and common experience, our veterans laid the foundation for that achievement between our nations. for decades -- a decades long joint humanitarian effort with people, andies government to account for and recover personnel still missing so important to us. horrors of this tremendous war, we want our servicemembers support and we give total to the families. we strengthen the foundation of our comprehensive partnership. it is so important to us. in the spirit of our friendship, i want to congratulate president on for holding a very successful a pack

are drawn up by the united states and their punishment the more the united states wants to punish north korea the more they convince north korea that they need to develop nuclear terror and protect themselves it has the opposite effect. if the united states were truly interested in. ramping down tensions it would engage in dialogue with no reason not to engage in dialogue and i have to say that the whole concept of punishing north korea for firing off i.c.b.m. is completely one sided so this year india pakistan russia and china launched i.c.b.m.'s united states has launched more i.c.b.m.'s this year the north korea has so why only north korea and. both defined provocations whereas everyone else in the missile test are nothing to be concerned about is completely one sided and i think there's a politico motivation to punish north korea it's not really a threat it was a sort of disable write little sides here with a matric sausage bought by south korea as well and days following that missile test but i mean i think the main concern for a lot of people is the development of that nuclear pro

the united states will also do its part. we are also committed to reforming our development finance institutions so that they better incentivize private sector investment in your economies, and provide strong alternatives to state-directed alternatives to state-directed initiatives that come with many strings attached. the united states has been reminded time and time again in recent years that economic security is not merely related to national security. economic security is national security. [applause] pres. trump: it is vital to our national strength. we also know that we will not have lasting prosperity if we do not confront grave threats to security, sovereignty, and stability facing our world today. earlier this week, i addressed the national assembly in seoul, south korea and urged every responsible nation to stand united in declaring that every single step the north korean regime takes toward more weapons is a step it takes into greater and greater danger. the future of this region and its beautiful people must not b

when it comes to the united states, there is pressure being put by the united states, efforts. i'm sure a substantive results will be realized through such efforts. china has also safely tolemented resolutions impose sanctions on dprk. contribute toill resolving the nuclear problem. international efforts bear fruit, we can really make a turnaround. i'm sure that we will be able to bring them to the table for dialogue. and through such a dialogue, we can freeze the nuclear program, ultimately dismantle the program of the dprk entirely. cooperation from the u.s. and china is essential. establishing a permanent peace on the korean peninsula, i don't think it is the right timing to talk about this issue. now we should focus on bringing an end to the dprk will break away here and take you to edit gillespie's headquarters in virginia, he has just lost the governor's race. live coverage here on c-span. [applause] you so much for that kind introduction, and take you more importantly for your leadership of this great campaign. truly appreciate all of the hard work of everyone here. i ha

so do you think it's important for the united states to try to push back and contain iran? >> look, there are two important threats in the middle east. the middle east has a number of threats. we've got failed states coming out of arab spring. between syria, which just is in the middle of a continuing civil war. we have yemen, we have libya. other countries that because of their failure, become crucibles for the development of terrorism. and that creates even greater problems. so instability, failed states in the middle east, we're certainly concerned about. but we're concerned about terrorism and the threat of terrorism. isis, you know, we have had some success in dealing with isis and the caliphate, moving them out of mosul. moving them out of the areas in iraq that they had conquered, as well as raqqah now. but by no means is isis going away. and the worst thing the united states could do is declare a victory and then not confront isis. in other areas. so dealing with isis, isis fighters. they are very likely to now engage in insurgency and we'll see elements of isis not

europe and the united states seek a normalized relationship with russia. however, russia has shown it seeks to define new post soviet global balance of power, one in which russia, by virtue of its nuclear arsenal, seeks to impose its will on others by force or partnering with regions who show a disregard for their own citizens. this is the case with bashar al assad's continuous use of tem cal weapons against his own people. the dissolution in the soviet union liberalized russian society and created new trade opportunities that benefit russians, europeans, and americans. but russia has often employed malicious tactics against the u.s. and europe to drive us apart, weaken our confidence and undermine political and economic successes we have achieved together since the end of the cold war. playing politics with energy supplies, launching cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns to undermine free elections. serially harassing and intimidating diplomats are not the behaviors of a responsible nation. attacking a neighboring country and threatening others does

governors of those states that want to be involved, the majority of the municipalities in the united statesinvolved, civil society. amy: this is the "we are still in" coalition. yesterday, the governors of washington state and oregon almost took over the u.s. government's press event by just coming in and's dating basically -- and stating basically this is a sham. >> the people that did the peaceful protests, they have been thrown out. amy: they have been? >> that is what i understand. i stand of the corrected. i did a protest and that happened to me as well some years ago. panelat they did with the is only the first panel. it is individual offense, really. they come and present -- amy: you mean the trump administration? >> to do a panel that actually goes against 99.99% of those scientific consensus of the world and to give them a platform to do that, i say to the unfcc, it is inappropriate and the u.n. cannot continue to pander to the madness that comes out of the trump administration. if you to say to them, want to be out, you stay out. don't come and poison this negotiation the way you'

the united states turns its back on those in need -- if the united states turns its back on hose in need, what have we the people become? and with that, mr. speaker, i yield back to the gentlelady islands.virgin ms. plaskett: thank you so much for that -- the information that you shared with us. but more particularly, for causing us to reflect on who we are as americans and what we stand for. and reminding this congress and this house how we have a responsibility to those in need. that with greatness comes responsibility. to whom much is given, much is required. and that requirement of us, particularly our -- to our neighbors, and we know that haiti is in fact our neighbors. and we have a responsibility to be there for them. thank you so much for all that you do and how often you are here for the congressional black caucus special order hour, to give us information, to cause us time to reflect. i'm extremely appreciative of that, mr. payne. i want to thank you so much for all that you do for the congressional black caucus. your steady reliability in being there to support the issues that

the republic of korea is more than a long-standing ally of the united states. we are partners who fought side-by-side in a war and really worked very hard and prospered toward a great and lasting peace. i feel confident that we will be able to reach a free affair and reciprocal trade deal as we renegotiate our current five -year-old trade document. we cannot allow north korea to threaten all that we have built and we have built it very much together and we are very, very proud of it, also together. but all that we have built in the decades since our soldiers sacrificed side-by-side in the struggle for freedom, our alliance is more important than ever to peace and security under on the korean law and across the end of pacific region and that is why vice-president pence, secretary of state tillerson, who was with us today, and secretary of defense matters with your just a short time ago have all traveled to seoul in the first year of my administration. it was important to me that they did. north korea's six test of a nuclear device and its missile launches are a

after the united states entered the war. even wilson administration officials who clashed with hoover and there were quite a few, suchwilson's secretary of the treasury, william macadu. even someone like him would have admitted he was effective at managing his assignments. still, being an effective manager is no guarantee of steadily rising to power in american politics. what hoover also had was political skill. to be sure in some ways he was ill-suited to be a poil tigs, he was uncomfortable being the focus of public attention, he lacked personal charm in some ways, and he tended to see the worst in any situation. wilson remarked he disliked talking to hoover because hoover was pessimistic about everything. nevertheless he was a master at self-promotion. both in the media and with high level officials who could promote his career. since at least 1912, when joining the board of trustees at stanford university, hoover wanted to get involved in public affairs. when the war broke out in august 1914 he immediately seized on it a

in canada as compared to how much canada sells to the united states. three u.s. states produce more milk than the entirety of my wonderful nation. okay. is it an issue? we say that we made hard decisions years ago to limit supply but we don't give subsidies that either state or federal level to our dairy producers where in the states very often that does occur. and the concern is that once you give up a very small number of people who produce milk in canada which is the limited supply then the inevitable large production facilities in the united states will literally drown us and very quickly we will lose our indigenous milk capability and we have medical issues with what's in the milk and that goes on forever. is there room to discuss? of course. poultry. there is a $246 million poultry surplus between canada selling poultry and associated stuff to canada as compared to selling it to the u.s. once again four states have more poultry output than the entirety of our nation. is this a big issue for those effected? yes. but it's not a huge nafta stopping i

it's the congress of the united states of america. right now we are still financially supporting a saudi air war and blockade in yemen, both acts of war. it's time to put a stop to that. second, we're supporting this saudi-led blockade that's causing a horrific starvation, disease and death in yemen. this blockade has forced more than seven million people in yemen to the brink of starvation. it has sparked the world's largest cholera crises in recorded history, and more than 8,000 people in yemen have been killed and nearly 50,000 injured in air strikes and fighting on the ground. it is unconscionable for us to continue support for this war. finally, i can't say enough. america is already involved in too many endless wars of choice in the middle east. the president of the united states acknowledged that we have spent $6 trillion just on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. $6 trillion. and they have acknowledged we have $2 trillion in expenses going forward, taking care of the heroes that served our nation, lost arms and legs and irrepar

the rapid loss of so many senior officers has an effect on the capacity of the united states to shape world events. now, we have heard over the course of the trump administration, we've heard about the state department being hollowed out under secretary of state rex tillerson. for example, it's reported now that there are 74 top positions at the state department, top positions that aren't just vacant. there's no nominee to fill them. and maybe there won't be. what's new here from ambassador stephenson is this veteran state department career official laying out what's going on, laying out these details that she knows of what's going on but then doing this. this is the headline that she put on this distress signal that he has just sent out. time to ask why. and that's a really important leap here. i mean, if you think about it, ideologically we know why the trump administration is eviscerating the epa. ideologically we know why the trump administration is emptying out the education department. ideologically we know why they put a guy like ben carson in charge of housing and urban develo

clearly, the two presidents will be talking about increased cooperation between the united states and vietnam on north korea. there have been some people who have suggested that because of the history with china vietnam could play an effective media area between the united states and north korea in terms of getting to the table, not necessarily in negotiating getting to the table to begin negotiations were north korea to dialback its nuclear program. the two presidents will also talk about trade and likely talk with the fact that the united states is looking for property for an embassy here in hanoi and the united states will grant the coast guard vessel to add it to its navy particularly important considering china's development in the south china sea. something else that is raised its head after yesterday. as president was flying from [inaudible] where he was at the aipac conference to hanoi he was asked about a couple of meetings that he had with russian president vladimir putin in the president was asked if he talked with putin about whether or not russia meddled in the us electio
