it centers the united states or the idea of the united states being a welcomed haven for people who were exiled. unfortunately, the history of the united states tells a somewhat different, more complicated story. the truth is, we have not always had a humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually, we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. usually, we are more inclined to actually reject refugees than to accept them. and to brawl the words of -- borrow the words of historian eric king, refugees who have been accepted are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of forced migration. -- migration and resettlement in the united states. to give you an overview of what i will talk about today, i will give you a little background about american refugee resettlement policy after the second war. then i am going to use that background to set up why the 1970's were such an important period of change. the ugandan asian refugees first arrived in united states and they were followed by an even larger group of refugees, southeast asian refugee

of military the united states is trying to advance its regional design are now at the expense of the regional states the arab states i doubt if there would be any meaningful or all influential in significant military move against iran but in area of economy as well as security in. politics there will be moves and there have been many moves underway in the last at least two years just of for example the united states use the billions of dollars of some of the op ed for the hollers in order to meddle with iran's foreign currency market in the u.a.e. iran has announced that it wants to move its foreign currency market to a number of countries first and foremost to qatar and china now as you see as far as of the saudis were supposed to leave this of quad lieschen or nato or whatever it is against iran the catteries were never subdued and the they had relations improved but now that the us has picked up their role in order to coordinate the first because it's a major war powered the categories as well as coal weight in oman they have at least of of around their of somehow of their variabl

the united states will always stand with our friend and ally, israel. today, reflecting congressional concern with palestinian attempts to prompt an icc investigation of israel, the department of state will announce the closure of the palestine liberation organization office here in washington, d.c. [applause] amb. bolton: as president reagan recognized in this context, the executive has the right to decide the kind of foreign relations, if any, that the united states will maintain. the trump administration will not keep the office open. when the palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel, the united states supports a direct and robust peace process and we will not allow the icc or any other organization to constrain israel's right to self-defense. in sum, an international court so deeply divisive and so deeply flawed, can have no legitimate claim to jurisdiction over the citizens of sovereign nations that have rejected its authority. americans can rest assured that the united states will not provide any fo

be doing across the board with all of the programs admitting people who are foreign-born to the united states. to not even meet the caps that are in place. it is a great point. brings up something else i want to talk about. everyone has mentioned that secretary of state mike pompeo mention the other day that the ministrations proposal for the refugee cap for 2019 will be 30,000 refugees. which is a 33% drop from the then lowest cap. we have admitted just under 20,000 refugees. while it still needs to consult with congress about the final number. what i want to kind of touch out with regards to that is whether we have seen or whether we can expect to see other nations responding in kind when they see our numbers continually being lowered and what type of impact that well had on the u.s. and as the global response to the refugee crisis at large. and what do i think you're hinting at. so much of the conversation is should we be doing this. i think we had tried to debunk that. imagine for a minute you're having a conversation in georgia. i think it's hard to find a closer strategic ally in the re

that message that the united states is not only championing human rights and democracy rhetorically but is also willing to put resources on the table when needed encounters extremists narratives that the united citizen on welcoming and hostile place. thent dramatic cuts to refugee resettlement program have been predicated on this that refugees put an undue risk on the united states, but all the evidence suggests that claim is unfounded. since the passage of the 1980 refugee act, so this is almost 40 years of history here, not a single refugee has been involved in a fatal terrorist attack on the united states and that includes the tens of thousands of refugees that have resettled from syria and iraq, often not to post the most risk, , a very the refugees small number of the refugees relative to the 6 million who have been displaced. about 20,000 refugees have done. are women and children under the age of 14 and not a single one has been involved in a terrorist attack. slashing the program not only runs contrary to american values and american commitment to human rights and democracy, but

the united states is stronger now than ever before. we have the highest stock market that we've ever had. if you invested in the stock market on average we're up over 45% on the various markets. you have to be quite happy about that. but i view it differently. i view it as jobs, i view it as a strong economy, i view it as as record-setting unemployment. we have unemployment at the lowest levels we have ever had and in particular with certain groups, african-americans, asians, hispanic, they're the lowest levels in the history of our country. we have been doing well, we appreciate the big investment and the confidence that you have in the united states. thank you very much. >> mr. president are you happy bout the kavanaugh hearings? president trump mplet i'm happy with the kavanaugh hearing. i watched a little while today, i saw some great answers. he's an outstanding intellect, he was born for the position. i heard people saying as long as 10 years ago that he should be a supreme court judge. i didn't know him, but i was hearing from f

the united states and the i.c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

the bank of the united states. this is the second bank of the united states. if you recall from earlier in the semester, there was a first bank of the united states. 1791, alexander hamilton pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank a private bank with stockholders and dividends. this bank, hamilton says, will benefit not only financial interests, but will benefit the country, the public. how will it benefit the public? because the u.s. treasury will deposit money in the bank coming in from taxes and the treasury can borrow money from the bank. it has a 20-year charter but lots of opponents. the chief opponent, thomas jefferson hates the bank. the bank, jefferson believes, is an imperils american liberty by elevating to power a wealthy financial elite. jefferson opposes it. jefferson comes to power in 1800, the first banks charter expires, but one year later, a war iraq with britain. a very expensive war -- a war erupts with britain, a very extensive war. thomas jefferson charters a second bank of the united states and this bank, much like

and to the united states, that is not to say there is no risk. what makes the national security community so confident, populations of people, with regard to terrorism? >> let me -- >> thanks for having me. my politics are not on the far left having spent 20 years in the marine corps. how do you keep the country safe? you can't illuminate risk. and we look for ieds, to determine what the risk was. there was not a choice whether to go on that. imitating risk is something you can to minimize and that is among the challenges you face, to the military operation. it is an incredible system, the notion they are a threat is completely false. i was in jordan last year on hcr, and in jordan. a notion who these people are is a complete falsehood. one thing a police state does very well is keep track of people. for instance that day, trying to filter, to take 300 refugees, and a blonde hair, blue eyed hazel haired refugee, or you name the category. you know every address they lived there for the past we 10 years and all of those things, that is just the un

people actually think that their business lies with the united states if there's a competition between the unlited states and iran. >> i'm ot saying it'seasy. the confidence i have has a limit. it isfi a dlt environment in which they are operating. i'm convinced of the valueat of as done. i'm convinced because i see the results. what ig say is that the united states cannot think of imposing its own policy decisions on sovereign countries hd organizations. the europeae the legitimate right to decide with whom to do business andtrade. this is what we are doing. not only the europeans but also e rest of the rld. >> i keep having to come back to this. so far, they are choosg the u.s. boeing pulled out. a lot of german companies with major -- the major business with iran right now are pulling out. >> yes. eisome trends that we are . we are working on trying toe guaranhat those that want to continue to invest in legitimate trade and in iran and with iran can do it. >> this time last year, president tru shocked world leaders by his rhetoric regarding north korea. little rocket man, fire and f

they stay in the united states. at one juncture, it was up to the 1970's, 90% or more stay in the united states. they are mostly coming to the united states. but something happens in the 1970's, because by the 1970's, taiwan's economy has started to develop and it is moving into an advanced economy stage. now, part of it has to do with the trickle of taiwanese students that go back to help set taiwan on this path toward development, another significant component is that the united states, between 1950 and 1965, investing a lot of capital in taiwanese agriculture. and with infrastructure, it is sending experts over to advise taiwan. the united states is deeply committed to taiwan's economic development and eventual political stabilization. though -- so in the 1950's, 1960's, there were not that many jobs for highly trained technicians, engineers, and scientists. but by the time you get to the 1970's, it has changed. so there is more and more incentive for people to go back. again, this is something to think about in

we want to keep jobs in the united states. maybe that is done in a more effective way by allowing the free flow of goods and services in and out of the nine states, particularly as we see the economic transformation. guest: it is a fine balance. governments do not create jobs. governments create a more educated workforce and resilient workforce but it is the private sector that creates jobs. at the same time, as we have communities struggling with preserving the documents we have, we have the same community . do we let investment promotion trips to canada, mexico, we want more investment? that is what creates jobs. for working people, at the same time, as we are not making cost so high and conditions are difficult. manufacturers do not want to stay in the united states. host: mark, line for republicans. go ahead. caller: i want to give a shout out to canada, which has the same natural resources, even more so than the u.s., if you count diamonds and things of that nature. likes a population florida, so they are the wealthiest pe

not because of the united states.i came to the united states from the university which is -- built in 1953. that was the university i was working. it was built by united states. my first english teacher was a peace corps gentleman. i love him dearly, and they showed us the good of people. so i deeply thank the united states for their help, and thank you for that question. and now in the short past we've had some questionable support. it is not because of the united states support. it is our people who are bad on the top of the government who are using that support in their own direction. so i am thinking, you know, suggesting any help, even if it's bad, it helps somebody in that country which needs that help. so if united states support, we appreciate. i am thankful of that. thank you. >> thank you. mr. said, how do you think, or how do you view the united states but how do you think the people of ethiopia right now view the united states? >> take as much. it is a great question. let me start from this, from the membe

i'm sorry. >> well, i think you're correct to an extent you know, really the united states is hoping to be able to, of course, negotiate a bilateral agreement with the united kingdom. and so we're optimistic that, you know, separation from the eu will allow the uk to have more ownership over the way in which it does the trade policies and so, you know, if there's -- if there is some similar interests with other countries in the eu, of course, the president's going to be open to that but really what this is about, i think, in the trade concept is the u.s. and eu continue to work together against the mutual concern which is china we're seeing that hopefully come to fruition with some of the bilateral talks. >> let's face it duda just last week called the eu an imaginary community. i mean they are part of the eastern expansion of the eu of some years ago but they feel like they're still, you know, an adopted child in all of this they don't feel like they're getting the benefits of being members of the european community. so i wonder any talks that president has with this particular presi

and north korea's very low to be fair to the north koreans united states has also cheated on nuclear treaties with rogue states most obviously with libya seven years ago are ten years ago right so there's low strategic trust on both sides which is why these big grand gestures are sort of denuclearization exchange for peace treaty these large things they're just not going to happen what we need to do is kick this back down to the working level and lead diplomats start making small steps and build toward something more substantial this is just not a big bang approach is just not going to work and once the american election said after the midterms the democrats take the house of representatives and trump is embroiled in investigations and scandal all this is going to disappear in twelve weeks the trauma administration is not going to be talking about north korea suing i mean if just robert talking about the domestic implications of the deal on my top annex do you think that. the south korean president is taking over those things into consideration and what would be the options available

to the united states. honestly, he was in my office so quickly from europe that i do not know they had airplanes that flew that fast. i said, where did you flop -- find this plane? we have the semblance of a deal. because it is to a large extent, economically i'll about cars. -- economically all about cars. cars is a big factor. they send millions of bmws and mercedes into our country. we are working on trade very hard. it is important for me. it has been for 30 years. i have been saying for 30 years, started with japan. i talked about japan. i was right. i talked about china. i was right. it is what i do. i like doing it. but i like doing it for the people. because our country has been abused and taken advantage of by virtually every country that it does business with. and we are not letting that includes what i said previously about the military. please. reporter: president duda, welcome back to the u.s. as it relates to the eu relations, the president mentioned that poland is the proud member of pulp --

we are right now employing more states thane united any time ever. i look forward to partnering with president duda. thank you for joining me today. poland has chosen its place in the world and as a loyal ally and strategic partner of the united states, we greatly appreciate that. we welcome the next 100 years of them ship between our two nations. thank you. >> i am delighted that in this polandhe year of regaining its significant i'm .ble to be hosted here also from this perspective, -- and those living abroad, especially those in the united states. is the measure of polish independence was an important policy. before 1918, he was the one who put polish independence on his agenda. fact that the pols back then experienced a lot of good from the united states. i am delighted today i can be and which isngton renewing that strategic partnership. -- back then it was signed by the ministers in today, the new version has been updated for a lot has changed. was signed byip myself and president trump. this agreement indicates the most important aspect ever a

i'm convinced that this cooperation between poland and the united states will go on smoothly. i hope that mr. president will make a decision to deploy to poland more u.s. units together with equipment. ladies and gentlemen, i was smiling when talking to mr. president. i said that i would very much like for us to set up a permanent american bases in poland, which we would call fort trump, and i firmly believe that this is possible. i am convinced that such a decision lies both in the polish interests as well as in the interests of the united states. poland is an attractive country and first and foremost it has a very important strategic location in europe, and i'm convinced that further interests of the united states, also pertaining to the security of the united states itself, the presence of the u.s. armed forces in our country is important also to protect american interests. mr. president, once again, thank you very much for this meeting. thank you, once again, for this joint declaration that we are able to sign today. thank you for also adding this new splendor to the centen

in its first report to the security council on the operation of the command, the united states informed the security council that on july 25, 1950, the unified command was established in the security council first use the name united nations command on november 8, 1950. notwithstanding its name, the united nations command is not a body, nor does it come under control of the nations. furthermore, it was not established as a subsidiary of the security council and not funded into the united nations budget. there are no reporting lines between the united nations command and secretariat. madam president, the secretary-general in the upcoming high-level week of the united nations general assembly will discuss how he and the united nations system can for the support the party and how steps can be taken for peace, security and verifiable denuclearization of the korean council resolutions. it's a hope that the korean summit starting in a few hours in the plan summit between leaders of the united states and the dprk will further contribute to this process, thank you. i thank miss decarlo for her

i have been here 26 years, in the congress of the united states. think the lasti couple of weeks are demonstrative of that, that i helped create an immigrant movement in the united states of america, and in the democratic caucus and the democratic party, and in many areas and places, economic, business spaces, educational spaces, and in this political space that is the congress of the united states, a genuine support and the majority for immigration reform. i have done, now that, now let me elected president that will implement immigration reform. secondly, the tragedy of puerto rico. there was always something special about the birthplace of your parents, just something. i wasn't born in puerto rico but my mom and dad were, and it has always held a special place in my heart and the hearts of my children. and i saw the devastation. i saw the terrible, poor, miserable, lame response of the federal government, the richest, most powerful, most technologically advanced nation in the world. and now we know thousands of people die from hurricane maria, a

right now in this moment in the united states senate what the president of the united states is saying a woman can't be trusted because she was drunk, while he was tweeting the dr. ford be trusted because people really bad as you said, she would've reported it back when she was 15 when it happened. well, republican leaders are saying they will quote, plow right through this. well, they are desperately trying to distract people are pointing to the process and the timing, anything but the substance. they hire a woman they are calling their quote, female assistant, the lord of the town to ask doctor for the questions they can't trust the republican meant on the judiciary committee to ask your the opry sweeping past this hearing and scramble to line up a committee vote right away while they're planning to stay through the weekend to rush to vote on the senate floor that their leader says is quote confident they will win. before dr. ford has even had a chance to be heard and the vote that doesn't need to be rushed for any good reason. mr. president, right now in this moment here in the unit

welcome to all of you around the united states and the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the show. president trump spent much of his week at the united nations general assembly criticizing iran. >> the regime is the world's leading sponsor of terror and fuels conflict across the region and far beyond. >> iran's leaders sew chaos, death and destruction. >> i'll talk to one of those leads about the president's charges. iran's foreign minister javad zarif joins me in a moment. also, how to fight back against vladimir putin. lessons from petro poroshenko, the president of ukraine. his nation is literally on the front lines of russian aggression, and how to handle immigration from across the globe. i'll talk with mexico's president, switzerland's president and new zealand's prime minister on their views about one of the most divisive issues today. >>> but first, here is my take. president trump's speech on tuesday at the u.n. was an intelligent, at times eloquent presentation of his america first world view. he laid

he won't see the kind of wishy-washy equivocation that you saw from barack obama at the united statesd nations. i think it will be a direct message and a direct appeal for america's allies to stand with the leader of the free world. >> bill: think you come on niall marie harf in new york. we will continue our discussion, the speech will start in a matter of moments. >> sandra: he followed up with a tweet. he gave us an update there. he would love to meet with iran, but they have to change their tune. president also tweeted ahead of his arrival there, "our country is much stronger and much richer since it was that i took office less than two years ago. we are much safer." i expect to hear more of that message from the present as he began speaking at the u.n. a few moments for now. we will take it live and keep it right here on "america's newsroom." we will be right back. the consequences underwater can escalate quickly. the next thing i know, she swam off with the camera. it's like, hey, thats mine! i want to keep doing what i love. that's the retirement plan. with my annuity i know th

the united states would have no rights to make claims to other states to request those other states to comply with their obligations so let's see a return to what you might call the wild west of retaliation and counter-retaliation for i think some of that but what a what a long way from that carrot let's talk about the nafta. negotiations because donald trump is at least being consistent there is this is a president who is not a fan of multilateral trade deals he described the north america free trade agreement as the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere and the killer of u.s. jobs here is what i can understand about this this is a three way deal between canada the united states and mexico how does mr trump been able to turn what was a three way deal into two bilateral deals u.s. canada and us mexico. well in order to turn it into to wire lateral deals he would have to withdraw the united states from the existing agreements and enter into new agreements with the two states but let me say that what he has negotiated with mexico he concluded preliminary in the negotiations with

the united states is always happy to host this. new yorkers may not be, but we will make it a great one. thank you very much. >> thanks. i am delighted to be here. everybody have a copy? i have mine. a little worn, but i have still got it. i wanted to take a second and talk about one of the themes in the president's remarks tomorrow. i have been around long enough to know that i will not step on any of his lines. but he will elaborate his views on sovereignty. i wanted to explain this is why this is so important for americans, because many people consider sovereignty kind of an abstract concept. it derives from the word "sovereign," meaning the monarch. but it is one of the reasons i think america's exceptional. that is, we understand sovereignty not to be vested in the head of state. the framersd it as set it in the constitution itself. we, the people, are sovereign in america. infringements on our sovereignty are not infringements on abstractions or the government, they are an infringement on the people themselves. we express our

we have had this debate in the united states before.our younger participants, i want to remind you we have had this conversation more than once. this is not new to american politics. we talked about burden sharing with our allies in the 1960s. senator said, europeans pay up. there was a debate in our congress about amending our support on nato, based on how much europeans paid. these are consistent and continuous conversations that we ought to be having with our allies on alliance equities and i think we ought to make sure the american people support these alliances. they are important in that sense. i think this is what actually looks like one of our stronger relationships at the moment, because i think a lot of these indicators are shifting in a direction the american people should feel more confident about. we have also had economic reassessments of how we participate in the global economy, whether it is trade deals with japan or the plaza agreement in 1985. whether you go back to the 70s and think about the smithsonian agreement, wh

the united states and the i.c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

mostly the united states. the united states was always more global, far reaching and they have got along by agreements that set up institutions that take politics out of the management of the relationship. we sound a treaty that created an international commission that looks at management of the great lakes, water quality. invasive species and presidents don't need to worry about that at all. it is coming along below the surface. we have and air defense agreement set up in the early cold war to protect the shared airspace because we feared they would come over north america and we needed the institution. when it is needed it is not necessary to go back to the president -- of the united states as in 9/11 when we needed to do something because we did not know. the canadians ordered american and canadian fighters to secure the airspace. they were not trying to get around the politics. nafta is the most central institution in the relationship. what is unnerving them is shaking up of something foundational that the

of the united states.ause there are no other words to describe the fact that that great state indicated to poland and defined poland as the country who should be back on the map and was reinstated on the map 100 years ago. and i'm absolutely delighted that today as polish president i can be here in washington at the same table with the president of the united states and sign an agreement which is deepening our strategic partnership and renewing that strategic partnership. i'm talking here about the agreement on the strategy partnership, such agreement signed in 2008 between our two countries. back then signed by the ministers of foreign affairs and today this renewed version, the version which has been updated because a lot has changed over the ten years, this renewed version of the strategic partnership was signed personally by myself and president donald trump. and i would like to express my deep gratitude to you, mr. president, for that fact. this agreement indicates the most important aspects of our co
