walid phares, and dr. sebastian gorka, let's start with iran.business with the tankers, why is this so significant, and why is the united states to this point hapless, if it wishes to stop the tanker and confiscate it, why has it not do done so. >> this demonstrates that iran regime is starving, they want tankers to go anywhere they can sell, this is evidence we're successful with regard to iran. on the other hand, seizing a tanker, i mean the united states before making such a decision needs to have the bigger plan. what happens next ithe iranians move, where? not just across gulf or mediterranean, give our administration the the credit for being willing to study what is being done, but not letting iran break these sanction. lou: it seems to me, we don't have a good answer. not a good one, seb? >> i agree with wa lid. this is a regime that is taughterring the antions that we reimposed. they are desperate, they are so very rich in oil, but barely has capacity to refine the oil under its own soil. this is rusty sabre rattling a very good sign. lo

we will have national security analyst walid phares.ll weigh in next. ♪ charles: president trump says the united states will impose a decisional 10% tariffs on the $300 billion of chinese import that are not tariffed yet. joining me fox national security analyst walid phares. you know, walid, really interesting, when the delegation came back, both sides, united states puta communique out that the talks were constructive. there was nothing about huawei. we know president trump is upset because they have not lived up to the lowest anticipated promises they made. how does this change our dynamics particularly on the national security front? >> many areas are affected. charles, let me ask you, are we here in new york and washington united how to deal with china? that is a segment by itself. our issue with china is not comparable to anything else, either iran, north korea, or russia because china is competing with us on all the levels. the tariff battle is one by itself. then china geopolitics, south asia, south china sea, africa, elsewhere.

walid phares is worried about this. >> the concern i have is not isis in syria.doing in terms of cutting a deal with the taliban in qatar. i don't trust the taliban before they reform, and they are not reforming so far. >> your take? >> absolutely right. we saw an attack from isis in afghanistan which is proof we should not be engaged in peace talks with the taliban at all it's embarrassing they even have a seat at the table for these negotiations. if the president signs a peace deal it will neither bring peace nor stability. we have had 8 separate peace talks with the taliban. they refuse to tree nowns isis and they won't have a ceasefire as a sign of good faith. they will continue harboring isis and al qaeda and it will be a mess if we pull more troops out. liz: isis says it's responsible for 1,800 attacks around the world since the first of the year. here is secretary of state mike pompeo talk about isis. certains where isis is more powerful today than they were threefo ye. iphate is gone. their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more diff

walid phares is with us.e chaos in hong kong strengthen our hand in these -- in this trade fight with china? >> what is happening, first of all, is very important between china and hong kong. this is basically the moment of change since the agreement of 1999 where there was sort of an agreement with china will maintain its -- and hong kong will be free market. what happened is china acquired a lot of capital, a lot of assets through hong kong. the only thing is china did not change its political regime. it's still communist. and hong kong doesn't want to change its regime which is liberal democracy. that was a clash that was due to lap. what we are seeing now in hong kong is a signal for the future. it may not just be hong kong. it may go i don't think. stuart: that means capital flight. money in china would like to get out, if you devalue your currency and you've got a big fight going on in elsewhere, that's capital flight and that's a big negative for china. >> what you have announced now to the audience th

. >>> former trump foreign policy adviser walid phares is our guest to talk about this weekend.he g7 meeting. how does what's happening now with the trade war with china fit into that context as the president talks to the g7 colleagues this weekend? >> well, depends on what the results will be before president trump goes to the g7 meeting. he intends according to his tweet of showing a lot of strength and our position in terms of negotiation. we know there is an escalation between china and the trump administration but we know at the same time that there is a determination on both sides to get to a deal at one point in time but each one wants the advantages that they consider as a priority to them. there are other subjects at the g7 which also will be examined very closely. connell: of course. one of the things i find interesting on the trade front is many of these countries in the g7 are still doing business, not that we're not doing business, but are still doing business with china in terms of the relationship with huawei which has been blacklisted here in the united states. i

joining us, walid phares, fox news national security analyst. i see it completely differently. i think the president did okay. i think he led. what say you? >> look, "the washington post" and "new york times" represent the point of view of the opposition. they criticize the president whatever he does and they are going to describe the g7 as a very integrated, unified group that represents the world and president trump is in the other valley. that is not reality. what has happened is the g7 now is basically addressing multiple issues, on multiple tracks. we have seen our president dealing with the prime minister of japan, with other leaders, in coordination with the uk. of course, there were other countries present such as egypt, african leaders, so it's not that the whole world is unifyie. it's basically a different cobweb of interests that was at play. stuart: there seemed to be a particular difference on the issue of climate. i do think that most g7 -- the g7 are united in their desire to do something about climate but our president didn't even attend a climate meeting. he se

walid phares is with us. i know you're not a financial analyst but welcome to the show.ou tell me, do we have concrete evidence as to what the terrorists are doing using bitcoin? >> well, bitcoin as we all know is a cryptocurrency which is based on what, on nothing. no banks, no governments, no major regulations so far. this is ideal for terrorist organizations which are under the pressure by the treasury department, by the europeans and by others to go in. now, why are they successful, because the customers of bitcoin are very happy with the services that are rendered by this system. it's going to take time for our government and other governments to move in and make sure that the terrorists are not taking advantage. the problem is that there are other governments who could help us in this like china, russia, maybe iran in this case. they don't want to do so because they want us to be in trouble, basically. stuart: we've got a problem with bitcoin because you can trade drugs, you can deal drugs, you can fund terrorist operations. there's a degree of secrecy all about it

walid phares fox news national affairs analyst. we might get interrupted. let's talk about the message from tehran. where does that come from? >> iran's regime is feeling very strong economic sanctions. there are a lot of problems inside iran but they see that we are deploying around iran. they have two choices. one to engage in military action. they can't do that. two is to threaten us so the opposition could say the administration is not doing the right policy and taking us to war. >> bill: here is his statement. if the u.s. really wants to talk they should lift all sanctions before anything else. it is up to them to return to the nuclear deal or not. we do not mind. they have to lift all sanctions so that they are no longer criminals against human rights. we will not negotiate with criminals. can we talk to a murderer? they have to stop their crimes. i don't see the sanctions going anywhere, walid. >> i don't see it, either. basically we put those sanctions because of something has happened which is iran is arming and super arming buying missiles, interv

walid phares is with us, fox news national security analyst.ere they really developing a missile that could strike anywhere and evade radar? was that what they're up to? >> you know, this is not even a secret. they were a few months ago claiming that the mother of all missiles that no one in the world quote unquote, can stop, they are developing. i'm not sure of the idea this was a missile but what we are worried about is this was a nuclear incident, accident, and any kind of accident that involves any nuclear device is not just a problem for russia. it becomes immediately a worldwide problem. remember chernobyl. stuart: is this putin's chernobyl? >> look, this is basically what the russian military complex produces, but president putin will be very very concerned, first of all, at home and first of all, within his own military, if such an incident occurred and can occur in the future. stuart: it seems like the anxiety level is rising all the way around the world. what's going on in russia, hong kong, china, venezuela is still a communist socie
