i have not seen signs that the interest of the united states in our region is any less committed than past administrations. while we have the closest of relationships with the united states, there are two policy areas where we differ, and this is also reflected in the region. we were disappointed by the president's decision to withdraw from the trans-pacific partnership, an international trade agreement between 12 nations that covered around 40 per cent of the global economy. president trump took the view that the tpp was not in the direct national interest of the united states. it should be noted that this was a policy position adopted by both presidential candidates, indeed most nominees. australia respectfully disagrees with that position. it comes down to an interpretation of national interest that we fear is too narrow. the tpp was about more than trade. it was also an expression of the closer engagement with the region and the strategic leadership of the united states. australia remains supportive of the tpp principles and we will continue to strive for high-quality trade agreem

for that alone, the united states has more than just cause to sanction president putin and intelligence -- putin, an intelligence apparatus he directs. but to date, mr. putin and his allies have not suffered serious repercussions for this stunning breach of our right as a sovereign nation not to have our elections disturbed by a foreign capital. that all changes today. congress has drafted this sanctions bill to hold mr. putin accountable for his actions and to send a message to him and the rest of the world, any further attempts to degrade our democracy will meet further sanctions and action. we will not stand by idly as this has done. there is no process more sacred in a democracy than the guarantee of free and fair elections. that fundamental right was attacked by mr. putin, and with this vote, let us finally, finally, finally officially condemn and forcefully respond to that attack on our country, and let us send this bill to the president's desk for his signature. we still don't know if president trump will sign this legislation, but i say to my colleagues if the congress speaks lo

united states. anything other than that is a distraction. i'm glad to see general kelly is in there and i'm glad to see trump is giving him the authority to do what is necessary. so the white house can focus on informing the american people about major issues like north korea, especially when nuclear weapons are being pointed at us. >> neil: very good point. thanks, kirk. meantime, we talk about how much further you can go with the new guy in charge of running the staff. a lot of people are saying it's confusion here. we're going to talk to a guy that says sometimes we in the media get caught up in something that might be very different than reality after this. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night... so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?!? with liberty mutual's 24-hour roadside assistance, get a jump, tow, and more - any time of day. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free quote today. you can leave worry behind when li
