the united states has never been interested in that. by talking about kennedy 1963 talks about the nuclear arsenal for clinton when she was secretary of state to say we will be stronger than ever with more nuclear weapons many times over 12 last year said the nuclear arsenal was top of the pack. . . . . for that matter passive defenses that can contribute to our security and of others in this ring seamanship theory. >> your argument in the book is that it the united states willingness and resolve to send allies to defend her and just depends on her vulnerability to nuclear war so the more we can limit the vulnerability the more we can limit our adversaries vulnerability the better we can understand conflicts of interest with other aaron state. the answer is its offense and defense so having the nuclear capabilities to conduct counter for strikes and the capability which is something the united states has for decades been interested in. it's a part of the defense of whatever survives to be able to protect yourself and to protect your alli

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states and the state wherein they reside. next, a panel of scholars looks at issues of race and citizenship and how the 14th amendment has applied to african-americans, chinese immigrants, and native americans. this event was part of a symposium hosted by the u.s. capital historical society. it's just over 90 minutes. for those of you who just joined us, my name is paul finkelman. i am the symposium director and i am currently the president of in greaterge philadelphia. some of you know me as a practicing academic, and in january i became the full-time insident of gratz college greater philadelphia. i have an odd role now i am in deep trouble. about the problem of citizenship, and as all of you know, the 14th amendment begins by saying all persons born or naturalized in the united states are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and the state in which they , asde, and in some ways pointed out in the last panel, the last talk, this is the second most important and fundamental chang

all persons born or naturalized in the united states are citizens of the united intes and of the state where , they reside. how the 14th amendment has applied to african-americans, chinese-americans, and native americans. over 90 minutes. takingame is paul, i am symposium director. ofm currently the president the college in the greater philadelphia area. some of you know me as a practicing academic and in january, i became the full-time president. role in thed session because i am both the moderator and the introducer and i'm also the first panelist. i get to tell myself when i am running out of time. you should never let than the an epidemic to do that. -- an academic to do that. this session is going to talk about the problem of citizenship. the 14th amendment begins with all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state in which they reside. ways, this is a -- the second most important and fundamental change brought about by the civil war. the first was obviously come at the end of slavery

this is about the united states and the posture the united states has chosen to assume against the rest of the world, particularly against its closest friends and allies in these are measures applied -- allies. these are measures apply not only to canada, but toward the eu and mexico. we believe it is a highly regrettable one. we said that directly to our american counterparts. >> we've got two minutes left. there are six people on the list. we have time for one more question. french]king this will affect the schedule you had chosen for the g7. >> we always expected there to be some differences of opinion amongst various g-7 members, especially when it comes to climate change and international trade. >> we have many elements upon which we agree. we knew we would be having some frank and honest discussions on those topics and others. we will certainly see that the incontinues to be useful allowing frank and honest discussions and rigorous discussions. >> is it possible that your government will offer financial help to the aluminum and steel industries if this trade dispute continues over

the countermeasures will only apply to the originating from the united states. they will take effect july 1 and will remain in place until the united states eliminates its trade restrictive measures against canada. where possible we have thought the products on the list that can be easily sourced from either canadian or non-us suppliers. i like to take the opportunity to thank the canadians who have been actively engaged in the consultations. i'm grateful for your input that have helped us build the best possible retaliatory lists. as we take these steps we are asking and acting in close collaboration with our like-minded partners. i was in fact in brussels on tuesday to discuss this issue. it's important to point out that there are also subject to the 232 terra from post on june 1. their allies and neighbors of the united states. canada's approach is and will be this. we will not escalate and not act on. judging by the feedback, countless canadians in many diverse political points of view agree with this approach. i can't emphasize enough the regret with which

, 80% of our exports are going to the united states. people say that you don't make many mistakes you make one mistake and then you have to deal with the consequences. one historic error was to receive donald trump in -- who was insulting, who was attacking the mexican people. it didn't even take -- bother to read this book. says you have to provoke the opponent and if he is weak, we smash him. and if he is strong, we negotiate. so when my opponent is weak, we crush him. so, if you want to be respected, you have to respect yourself first. a president needs to behave with dignity, and i will defend the national interests. >> candidate -- i'd like to know what are the specific actions to redirect mexican exports in order to reduce the economic impacts resulting from our overreliance on the nafta agreement? thank you. >> we have opportunities throughout the world and we're going to take advantage of them before we talk about trade and investment. we need to talk but mutual respect, president trump four days ago, on again, insulted us, and

clear the united states -- isn't clear if the united states wants to continue. that is an issue with investors. we could go on perhaps on some other issues. but this is a circumstance where once the united states was the country that was actually creating the conditions for orderly business and commerce in the region, now we've become the primary disrupter. and the problem with that is that if the you're an invester looking long term you can't make decisions based on that. but it also provides the condition that is an outside country like china but others as well can come in and take advantage particularly if the state is behind some of the the investments as we've been talking about the with perspective to china in the region. so this is helpful. despite that there are other issues as well. even as we mentioned previously even if the united states were to change course today and have a policy shift today on trade the damage that's being done is going to take a long time to overcome. supply chains once they develop lsewhere cannot just be up wound. if other coun

we continue to work closely with the united states on a number of different issues. i spoke to secretary pumpeo, we talked about ukraine, north korea, canada has been doing to maintain the sanctions, the deputy secretary of state, i met with him in person, john sullivan on copenhagen, so it is a very deep relationship. that relationship continues, relationships with us counterparts, the mayor of hamilton talked to me how he has been reaching out to the us mayor counterpart. and it i am confidence for 151 years. >> do you believe common sense can prevail with trump in the white house along is he is there? >> i'm actually confident common sense will prevail. at the end of the day i am an economic determine just, and it is a powerful thing. the economic reality, our relationship to the united states is balanced and mutually beneficial. take the steel industry, the us has a slight surplus in trade, steel and canada. it doesn't make sense and something called rule of law matters to canada. >> you talked about protecting workers, what about businesses? there has been a fear

government -- the united states government when it was instituted. 's to protect this entire country and many states that belong to it. i would like to know how obama took billions of dollars out of medicare and gave part of it to the california unions and wasted a lot of our medicare and our social security money and got away with it and used it as seed money for obamacare. same thing the federal government gave seed money to massachusetts to start their socialized medicine. you guys just want to put socialized medicine in without the effects of how it affects us a seniors. host: i have to leave it there. congressman? guest: thank you, rose, for your question. it is factually not correct that obama did that. keep in mind that he was operating and dealing with a republican-controlled congress for the last six years of office. in terms of what you say socialized medicine, under the act, we are talking about private insurers. we are talking about making sure people who can't afford health care get access to health care. it is private insurers who are

to reassess and rethink our relationships with the united states. 80% of our exports go to the unitedtates. you don't make many mistakes. you make one mistake and you have to deal with the consequences. the error was to receive donald trump, who was attacking mexican people. he says you have to provoke the , wenent and if he is weak smash him and if he is strong, we negotiate. when my opponent is weak, we crush him. respected, yoube have to respect yourself first. a president needs to behave with dignity. i will defend the national interests. i would like to know, what are the specific actions to redirect mexican exports in order to reduce the economic impacts resulting from our overreliance on the nafta agreement? opportunities throughout the world and we are going to take advantage of them. before we talk about trade and agreement we need to talk about mutual respect. trump once again insulted us. every time he insults our immigrants, their lives in their my vow we will not allow any agreement of any kind regarding any issues that are not based on that respect. i will not allow unde

it is a moment that is kind of sad for us in the united states to watch after 70 yea rs of the unitedworld trading system stable. if it is possible to put this briefly in a nutshell, what we mean by a trade war? well, we mean increased tariffs, certainly by the united states, on critical product. retaliation from other countries, and certainly from europe and canada, they have already announced this. products against which they themselves will raise tariffs to be from china which is also being threatened. altogether, these countries can make a very large impact on us exports and on the production system within the united states did it on prices, an employment levels... if we go through with this it is very scary. i would like to emphasise again that we are not there yet and we have seen we are not there yet and we have seen this movie several times over the last few months. we may back off. i hope so. the dwarf planet pluto has long been a mystery to scientists. but now experts say they've found important new evidence about the planet's surface — which in places resembles sand dunes f

are you in full agreement, complete agreement with the united states? president trump has stated that we are implementing sanctions and those sanctions are very strong sanctions. he also stated that until north korea takes the action, the sanctions will not be lifted, and japan is in full agreement, and japan's position is perfectly in alignment with the united states. and in our summit meeting this time, we had in depth discussion with president trump how which should respond to north korea. and ask for the future policy on north korea, inclusive of the u.s.-north korean summit meeting. we have detailed coordination. aligning our positions as i have already mentioned, japan and united states are always together. japan and united states will be in full alignment to seek success for the historic u.s.-another cree summit meeting in singapore. >> yes. thank you very much. maximum pressure is absolutely in effect. we don't use the term anymore because we're going into a friendly negotiation. perhaps after that negotiation i will be using it again. you will k

you are watching a press conference in seoul between the united states, south korea, and japan. tries speaking more about that summit between donald trump and kim jong—un. secretary of state mike pompeo just took a question. he was asked about the sequencing of denuclearisation. he gave quite a short answer to that, saying we have been clear on the sequencing. it was answering that question in relation to someone saying that donald trump had said that people can sleep well tonight, but, of course, north korea still has their nuclear weapons. he really did not address that point. but he did say we are going to get denuclearisation. that is the aim of the countries there. we bring in our corresponded in washington, chris buckler, who has been listening to this press conference as well. it is interesting, i was talking a few minutes ago about how secretary of state mike pompeo was slightly irritable on wednesday when being questioned by reporters about the details. and i think we saw a slight flush of that again just a few minutes ago when he was asked about the sequencing, is this

there for the united states to impose sanctions against russia. it's pretty much. economically light decision for them it doesn't really have an impact on their economy it has a big impact upon the european economy as a whole when you have countries like germany that have reliant on german on russian imports of gas and do a lot of business with russia who are very concerned about the sanctions and indeed in the new government in italy which is frankly saying that they think the sanctions against russia should be dropped so again you know the world is changing the days when the united states would just turn around and say you know we're going to impose sanctions on everyone else needs to fall or those days are coming to a close even had a french minister saying you know that the europeans are not facile states the united states there is a different mood and particularly with the trumpet ministration it's becoming more and more difficult for western powers to follow the united states blindly or you'd have the united states pulling out of the paris c

i'm thrilled to be here with the brave men and women of the united states coast guard. you are america's first line of defense. the best of the best. these are exciting times for america. we are being respected again. we're being respected abroad. and we are restoring our wealth at home. it is about time. [applause] we have reached yet one more historic milestone with 3.8% unemployment just announced and another all-time record low african-american unemployment, hispanic unemployment at an all-time low in history. we're very honored by that. and by way, for the women out there, the lowest unemployment in 19 years.

[applause] incredible people. we're gathered together today for

we welcome japanese businesses to open new plants in the united states. the prime minister said that will happen. we want auto plants going into michigan, pennsylvania and ohio and many of our states that have them and some that don't an they will be doing that. japan has also remain a critical partner in our efforts to promote a free and open pacific region where sovereign nations uphold the rule of law, respect the rights of their neighbors and honor the interests of their people. these core prems allow diverse nations to thrive and prosper all together in one beautiful peaceful atmosphere. we're all happy about it. it's what's happening now. prime minister abe it's a true privilege to work with you, my great friend. i want to thank you for being here at the white house for our meetings today. so productive. i'm also very proud to say that the bonds between our nations are stronger than ever before, and i know that together we can unlock incredible new opportunities, achieve new prosperity and ensure the safety and security of our citizens for a very, ve

will provide the sick security guard to it's not just about the united states ok but being absolutely right on the state let me just let me jump in here we're going to go we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the singapore summit stay with us. with all make this manufactured consensus public well. when the real plus is protect themselves. with the fight merry go round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. and is getting international recognition with the help of the. israel at least in the world of zoos and member of the commission like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going on the sunday oh maybe you know john i just hope. the only palestinians is who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who are on the vision not only because it is a. i know it's his office that it's got to this lady in the muscle that you had i'm going to continue muslims you know do more of the most awesome companies off. welcome back to crossfire where all things considered i'm

so they are lesser nations, which are unfortunately lodged in the united states. so this is going to be a conflict that you are going to have to resolve. you have to somehow make indians go away, because their presence in the current state is not tenable. indians have to leave the land altogether, because they cannot coexist with whites. and could not live in the republic. ,t may seem simply about race and it is to a certain extent, but think back to the jeffersonian vision of the legal order. if you have a country based on thatotion of plot of land is private property, it is harder to have a vision of indian nations within the united states. so it is the logic of the legal order being set up the also makes indian presence within the united states problematic in legal terms. not just a matter of race, but the kind of property regime at the root of the united states legal order. ofnot only the ideas republicanism and self-rule not extended to the indians, but indians are dangerous to the project of the united states. they are a different organization rooted within t

surely the united states government is capable of that. in the united states of america, we must work to secure our border in a manner that reflects our values. and i'm committed to working with anyone on comprehensive bipartisan immigration reform. mr. president, separating children from their families was an abhorrent policy to pursue. and it will forever mark a dark and shameful period in our country's history. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from california is recognized. a senator: i want to thank senator merkley for bringing us all together, what i would address, senator hassan, one of the dark marks in the history of our country. rise today to call attention to what has clearly been a human rights abuse committed by the united states government. ms. harris: and that is this outrageous and inhumane separation of children from their parents at the border. this morning thousands of children woke up without their parents not knowing where they were, not knowing wh

will provide the sick security guard to it's not just about the united states ok but being absolutely right on your state let me just let me jump in here we're going to go we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the singapore summit stay with us. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it be the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terror is just no doesn't mean that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished. the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't the way. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somehow w

and north korea united states and its allies south korea and japan and north korea so i don't think that the military option is really an option is never been a real option the fact is that after a couple of months of verify amatory rhetoric and threat of use of force donald trump backed down from this position if we take a look at the speech of the u.n. national general assembly september and then the speech of the trump gave the south korean national assembly in the van der it's a very different speech nor for us of use of force focus on the development of north korea the abuses the abuse of human rights of course but there were no threat of use of force so i think that he really backed down from his options like months ago now speaking about inflammatory rhetoric i think this is a very peculiar thing about donald trump he can be very aggressive when he's on social media but i think he's also. malleable to personal touch and a number of american partners like israel for example have already exploited this trade in his personality do you think do you think i can john only wil

and the united states really so let's take a look at some of those figures the united states sold goods worth around two hundred fifty six billion euros to e.u. countries last year and the other way round e.u. countries exported a lot more which is around three hundred and seventy six billion euros to the united states and that means that the e.u. economy gained around one hundred twenty billion euros from trade with the u.s. a large trade surplus while the u.s. economy on the other hand locked in this some as a trade deficit and donald trump wants to tip the balance in his favor with the tariffs he has imposed yesterday or this morning brussels meanwhile has already announced retaliation with tariffs of its own all together goods with a trade volume of six billion dollars are affected by punitive tariffs so all signs are pointing towards a full blown trade war or are they can anything be done about it let's get some insight now from got fed up about my he's the director of the center for international economics and he joins us in munich good to have you with us just briefly let's look

1,000 employees and owns and manages hotel across the geographical diverse environment in the united states. mr. sondland has been heavily involved in a number of philanthropy activities. he's co-founder of the gordon second lad foundation which helps families. he's served on a local aboard ad state board. oregon health and science university foundation. and the george w. bush center. his family history and his contextural understanding coming with it comes with his extensive business enterprise and problem solving relationship building and managing competing interests, ideally suit him for the task. i would also tell you he's a man of great character and a great mentor to two of his kids who had the good sense to go to a north carolina school. they are at duke university. i'm sorry you didn't have the grades to get into unc chapel hill but duke is a good plan b. mr. chair, thank you so much for holding this hearing. i could not think of a better person to take the post as ambassador to the eu, mr. gordon sondland. >> thank you, senator tillis. senator. >> thank you very much mr. chairman a

we welcome and encourage japanese investors to open new plants and factories in the united states and that will happen. the prime minister has told me that will happen. we want new auto plants going into michigan and pennsylvania and ohio. and many of our states that have them and some that don't and they'll be doing that. jap japan has also remained a critical partner in our efforts to promote a free and open pacific region where sovereign nations uphold the rule of law, respect the rights of their neighbors and honor the interests of their people. these core principles allow diverse nations to thrive and prosper altogether in one beautiful peaceful atmosphere. we're all happy about it. that is what is happening now. prime minister abe, it's a privilege to work with you. a great friend. thank you for being here at the white house for our meetings today. so productive. i'm very proud to say the bonds between our nations are stronger than ever before and i know that together we can unlock incredible opportunities, achieve remarkable new prosperity and ensure the safety and security of

so for the united states to impose sanctions against russia it's pretty much. economically light decision for them it doesn't really have an impact on their economy it has a big impact upon the european economy as a whole when you have countries like germany the reliant on on german on russian imports of gas under a lot of business with russia who are very concerned about the sanctions and indeed in the new government in italy refuse frankly saying that they think the sanctions against russia should be dropped so again you know the world is changing the days when the united. states just turn around and say you know we're going to impose sanctions on everyone else needs to fall or those days are coming to a close even had a french minister saying you know that the europeans an awful states the united states there is a different mood and particularly with the trumpet ministration it's becoming more and more difficult for western powers to follow the united states blindly or you'd have the united states pulling out of the paris climate accord you've had them impos

are you in full agreement with the united states? fted. —— these sanctions will not be lifted. japan is in full agreement, japan's position is perfectly in alignment with the united states, and in our summit meeting, this time, we had an in—depth discussion with president trump about how we should respond. to the north korea, and as for the future policy on north korea, inclusive of the us — north korea summit meeting, we have detailed coordination aligning our positions. japan and the unit is it's are always together. japan and the united states will be in full alignment to seek success for the historic us— north korea summit meeting in singapore. yes, thank you very much. maximum pressure is in effect. we don't use the term, because we are in friendly negotiation. perhaps after that negotiation, we will use it again. you will know how well we do, if you hear ms saying, we are going to use maximum pressure, you know that the negotiation did not go well, rightly. there is no reason to say it. in the meantime, we have not removed any s

part of this is a difference in what the united states is saying and what the united states is doing. you know, what we're doing is denuclearization, which is to say we're putting improvements in the relationship first and we're not really insisting that north korea give any nuclear capabilities up. the problem is every time president trump is asked about this he says, no, no, no, kim will start very soon. for me, the big question is going to be who takes the next step. i think it's very unlikely that kim will do anything more than a few cosmetic steps toward disarmament. it will ultimately be up to the united states to continue the policy of finding things to give the north koreans to keep them on their best behavior. >> it sounds a lot like -- you said finding things to give the north koreans. i think everybody was stunned by the president -- it seemed like it was off the cuff and was not in the declaration. they didn't sign it to say they are stopping the war games. we don't quite know what does that mean. is it temporary? is it a full stop? is it the entire gamut of the military e

s of the well and i believe these will go on more true believer that when one looks at united states and the russian federation those two countries have in many aspects common interests sometimes they are fighting but they have common interests and if we look at the middle east that is the area that we have been that was mentioned the about this decision the global me the least in this area where i'm still strongly believe that the jews that egypt interests of the humanity the united states and the russian federation a lot and i want to on the contrary well i think the jews are similar and i strongly hope that the divisions that have existed of the countries will be overcome and that the two countries will be able to have strong cooperation a lowing the international system to work there is no way in which an international system like ours can work without its corporation between the two most important super bowl let me ask specifically about the reasons cited by the american to walk out these allegations of bias. russia china syria many other countries make the miller claims after u

we hear first from the british and irish ambassadors to the united states, and then kathleen burke from the college of london. the white house historical association hosted this hour-long event. >> thank you for joining us this morning. delighted to welcome you to the united kingdom and ireland in the white house. the white house historical association, as many of you know, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization established to enhance the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the executive mansion. it was founded in 1961 by first lady jacqueline kennedy and since then has pursued an educational mission reflected in public programs, exhibitions, publishing and research. introducing a wide audience to the rich history of the white house requires looking well beyond our nation's capital, and well beyond the borders of united states if self. that's why we have cultivated partnerships to make white house history more accessible to many around the world. in 2016, we held at the first of our internationally themed symposiums, which explored italy's ties to the executive mansion. in 20

saving nafta perhaps going a bit far but it's certainly nice to see these leaders from mexico the united states and canada united on something as you say relations between these historic allies have been at a real low partly because of renegotiating nafta but also because of a lot of the rhetoric coming out of the white house donald trump's comments about mexicans coming into the united states when he called them rapists and murderers certainly drove a wedge between mexico and united states as well as his repeated calls to build a wall on the border and of course with canada we just saw him insulting prime minister justin trudeau at last weekend blaming him for a disastrous g. seven summit in which the president managed to snub a lot of the united states' key allies by arriving late leaving early making it clear that his preference was to meet with the north korean leader kim jong un rather than sign a joint statement of shared interest with them so a lot of issues there again soccer is a great uniting force they are all coming out saying that this is going to be a wonderful thing to host toget

on its perceived national security grounds but it fails to rule against united states that that opens the door for other countries to follow suit and to act protectionist in protectionist ways even for bogus reasons if on the other hand it does rule against that the u.s. then trump may follow through with his threat to pull out of the b.t.o. in which case he really has blown a hole in the multilateral trading system and it would be hard to see. well it would it would it would be a very different system without the united states joe you said that many republicans have expressed concerns about the measures taken by trump and that we've seen also unions expressing concern where does this new move leave u.s. consumers and u.s. companies. well of course there's still the a lot of the companies and consumers that have the same worry that the members have they don't know exactly what the impact will be and they're fearing that it'll have a negative impact obviously but president trump is counting on the fact that he's been very independent minded and counterintuitive in the past and wh

the president of the united states arrives at capitol airport near peking, the people's republic of chinais is the first of a series of state visits that will take the american president across the continents of europe and asia. ♪ >> president richard nixon is greeted by the premier. during the next eight days, the two nations will begin the process of slowly bridging diplomatic barriers. ♪ >> that was a big deal. that handshake was a big deal, to see richard nixon, who had been a hard line anti-communist during his whole career, who had railed against democrats for having lost china to communism in 1949, to undertake this trip, make that handshake, combined with the salt one agreements. and he did all this while he also conducted a ruthless secret bombing campaign against the north vietnamese to try to bring the vietnam war to an end. many credited nixon's foreign policy achievements with his landslide victory against george mcgovern in 1972. conservatives disagreed with what nixon was doing between 1969 and 1972. they saw it as a mistake. one of the earliest critics of detente came from

we would see these in the region itself, and perhaps even the united states. nonetheless, this would be an ongoing problem for quite a while. not that america cannot prevail, it can, it is at what cost? >> host: your book is called "america and the rogue states" what about the terrorist groups, al qaeda, taliban, hezbollah? >> there are many stateless groups that operate in countries that are poorly governed her on government spaces. somalia is a example with a weak political structure. it could allow, not because they want to but because they do not have the capability, their lands are used for terrorist training and terrorist operational. that was the great fear in afghanistan. incidentally, afghanistan was considered a rogue state. it was never put on the list as a terrorist state, but it was. it lent its territory, knowingly to al qaeda as a staging and training base and operational center for al qaeda which hit the united states and 9/11. there are some states who cannot control that. it's a worry in places like mali and somalia, yemen, and even parts of p

sanctions and any agreement between united states andne north korea must be permanent. president trump and his team must take stock of what has happened what north korea has achieved and what we have yet to achieve with the sake of these national security but the safety of the american people the united states can no longer can settle for no less with permanent duty on --dash denuclearization. i yield the floor. >> i rise to speak a be engaged in discussions we have a trade act from 1974 and 1962 to layout provisions how we would go about dealing with tariffs. section 232 with the president of the united states can declare something a national security, issue and when he does that it keeps them from having to go through the normal process one goes through to deal with tariffs. physically when the president chooses a section of that bill, he has to go through a preswhen he decides what he wants to place on anoer country he has to go to another entity to show that somehow united states has been harmed. the reason he puts in place tariffs. wi o psident has chosen to do is

what the united states has gained is vague and unverifiable at best. what north korea has gained, however, is tangible and lasting. by granting a meeting with chairman kim, president trump has granted a brutal and repressive dictatorship, the international legitimacy it has long craved. the symbols that were broadcast all over the world last night have losting consequences for the united states -- lasting consequences for the united states, north korea, and for the entire region. for the united states, it's permanent proof that we have legitimatized a brutal dictator who has starved his own people. for north koreans to have their flags atried, those of the united states, it's a clear symbol they're to be respected and that they belong among the community of nations and that their sins at home and abroad are beginning to be forgiven. if the united states is unable to win concrete, lasting concessions from north korea, the meeting alone will be a victory for kim jong-un and a defeat for president trump. even more troubling, only an hour ago president tru

what we would like to see now, is not only them joined the united states, but, i am more and more united effort to roll back iran's aggression, putting enormous pressures on this regime. this regime is also hated -- you sought a few months ago, everyone hates them, they are governed by theocratic thugs. we should support the people in iran who actually want their freedom, who could be allies to everyone. and the oppression as soon as possible. -- and the oppression as soon as possible. -- end the oppression as soon as possible. >> i guess what people are wondering, is, will the ending of this deal, prevent iran from creating weapons? will we need further economic pressure? is there a possibility that israel will have to consider a military option? this looks like a very extreme government. >> it is. understand, the people who argue for this deal are saying, this is going to bring peace closer, it will push for further away. really? at this deal, the funding, of all these enemies, israel and america -- it has only brought were closer. if people have been paying attention, over the last fe

now against the former position of the united states have said that they are not minding. staying in power now assad staying in power is a very important russian interest so we now support this russian interest and now america supports this russian interest so i'm sure we will be filled to respect this is not what i am i what i ask you about because for russia preserving syrian territorial integrity and sovereignty east paramount it's not just about who sits in damascus it's about keeping the country intact and i ask you specifically on the american plans not official plans but actively discussed plans to establish a quasi i protectorate a quasi american protectorate in that country. what is the process and cons for israel they are well i would say the only pro for israel is. syria which has no press. of hizbollah shiite militias and iran and not only that not allowing iran to build a major ballistic missile facilities because we cannot allow the iranians to build missiles in lebannon or in syria and give it to the hizbollah and they use it as proxies against us this is so

of direct engagement backed by pressure is the only solution to the north korean threat to the united states and oure allies and the broader region. stomach just a few hours ago president trump secretary linda secretary of state mr. bolton and the rest of the delegation concluded their summit meeting with north korean officials. this was a historic first staff in the important negotiation and in the words of the joint statement agreed to by the united states and north korea, both sides have committed to pursuing robust peace regime with complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the next step will test if we can get to ath verifiable deal which enhances the security of northeast asia and of our allies in the united states. resolving the 65-year-old international challenge will take a great deal of hard work as president trump explained a few hoursxp ago that today is the beginning of the arduous process and our eyes are wide open. i remain supportive of the administration position as secretary pompeo has reiterated the goal of the united states is the complete verifiable and irrevers

it shoulds unanimously in the united states senate. but if you start putting something on it that, number one, doesn't belong on it in terms of germaneness, and, number two, is one that is going to cause a pause that could be detrimental to our fighting troops and for our getting the bill done, then i wouldn't want to do that. so i would like to join senator corker until finding another bill, and i will do all i could to help him to get that on as an amendment, but not to the defense authorization bill. i think this would cause a lot of damage. the house agrees with this. i can't let that happen. for that reason, i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. corker: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. corker: i'm going to make a few comments here. i want to thank senat inhofe for working with me. i realize there's a lot happening here. i know he's conducting to the best of his ability the progression of this bill. i'll just leave it at that. mr. president, i was asked to find a solution to t

it's upon every member of the united states senate. there are immense costs to this policy, $775 a day for these detention camps per individual, but the costs are way beyond the dollars and cents, they are to the moral image and authority of this country, and to our self-image, our accountability to ourselves, to our own sense of morality, and humanity. the world was outraged when it saw children torn away from parents and now, the president has acknowledged that his heart responded as well. but soon, and i would predict very soon, we will see images as striking and stunning, as repugnant and those images of taking children away from parents. when we see those images of detention facilities, cages of children, young people behind bars, packed beyond capacity, on military bases and other places, never designed to hold these facilities, the world will be outraged by those images, the sights and sounds of those children as well. so we owe this new policy a special scrutiny, a strong accep accepts-- sense of outrage if it is like what it s

so we've been here a year and a half -- we've been here a year and a half and because senators, united states senators that are elected by the people in their state don't want to cast a tough vote, they block everybody from voting. i have no idea why rand paul cannot get a vote on his amendment. it is ridiculous. he's been trying to get a vote on it for years. years. and we block it. why is that? i want to say for the record, i've held amendments this morning until we could work out the solution. i am not holding any amendments. none. zero. i'm holding no one's amendment. but we as senators, we're worried somehow that this gosh, almighty. i heard the senator from texas, the senior senator from texas saying the other day, well, gosh, we might upset the president. we might upset the president of the united states before the midterms. so, gosh, we can't vote on the corker amendment because we're taking, rightly so, the responsibilities that we have to deal with tariffs and revenues. we can't do that because we'd be upsettin president, the president of the united states. i can't believe it. i wou

he is the president of the united states. words do matter. they don't matter any more than wh they come out of the mouth of the president of the united states. especially when he's talking to the country's closest allies. >> and you think it will fray the relationships? you think america's closest allies, something will change geo politically because of this tension we're having? >> look at the response already. look at how trump has dragged everybody down to his level. you have macron and merkel responding to him on twitter. international statesmen are having conversations over twitter, trading barbs. this is not how world relationships are meant to be conducted. this is not good for any. diplomacy should be boring. it ought to be dull. it should be putting us to the sleep unless we are experts on the subject. but the fact that it is never a dull moment with the president of the united states is not a good thing. >> tony, you are able to get into his head because of all the time you spent writing his book,ing "the art of the deal." it is all

the new initiatives on the free trade agreements that have been proposed in recent years for the united states, the tpp agreement, the trans-pacific partnership agreement, it's got a state-owned enterprise chapter. i'll put that up in a moment. there were all proposals for state-owned enterprises. the eu agreements all have soe chapters in them. the oecd program. the oecd has a work program on state-owned enterprises. they have been tasked already with developing this overcapacity forum to deal with steel. at the g-7 readout for the communique or the g-6 communique that came out over the weekend, there was acknowledgment of this issue also applies to aluminum and other high-tech sectors. so there is seemingly an engagement by the other advanced economies to get on this issue, or to address this issue. and finally, the european commission has been dealing through its state aid rules with the concerns raised by its differing member states levels of state-owned enterprises for decades. there's lots of institutional materials and experiences that we can draw on. this is just if you don't remember

the united states has to be in it. we can't turn it over to the iaea who gets manipulated regularly by our adversaries. it's tough going. >> you think the north koreans have far more at stake than we do? >> yeah. he knows he needs some relief here. he has economic pressure on him and he has the potential of a military option coming where he loses everything. but that doesn't mean that he will not try to manipulate and get the best negotiated deal out of this he possibly can. i don't expect much from this letter at 1:00. i think it's just his willingness to go to the summit. i would be stunned if he makes any major concession in that letter. >> we appreciate your insight. thank you for being with us today. >> julie: it's all the buzz on social media still. samantha bee apologizing for her vulgar comment about ivanka trump. is that enough? why some conservatives say there is a double standard. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otez

the way he views it is that other countries depend on the united states more than the united states dependsher countries. it will be interesting to see, once the trade bullets start flying, so to speak, whether that bears fruit. a lot of these retaliatory tariffs that the eu and china and canada are using, are targeting on the united states, are targeted to inflict the most pain possible to donald trump and republican leaderships‘ constituencies here in the united states. things like agricultural products from iowa and minnesota, whiskey from kentucky, these are tariffs that are particularly geared towards having political influence, beyond just being tit—for—tat retaliation for what the united states is doing. at least for the moment, talk about a trade war for donald trump's supporters, i would suspect, seems like the president living up to his campaign promises, getting tough with people who don't give the united states a fair deal. we'll see if that changes when it starts affecting factories producing goods or agricultural products here in the united states. whether it starts translatin

that is to build a military structure which will defend the vital interests of the united states. and in that great cause, fort worth as it did in world war ii, as it did in developing the best bomber system in the world then, the b-58, and as it will do in a developing the best fighter system in the world, the cfx, fort worth will play a part. [applause] >> we're at the corner of 8th street and main in downtown fort worth, and it was a couple of yards from this spot that on november 22, 1963, john f. kennedy gave the first of his last two public speeches. it was a cold, wet day that rning. he got in late at night. he flew into the guards well base a couple of hours away. when he flew over the city, all the buildings were outlined in white lights. some of the civic leaders at the time wanted to welcome the president even before he landed. even today, that is the tradition in fort worth. if you see our skyline at night, the larger, more prominent buildings are outlined in white. they kept that a life. he arrived at the hotel behind me very late at night. he and mrs. kennedy were ve
