an alliance in our party it's called civil contract and the party alliance is called all the way out alliance speaking of the alliance right now we're discussing it's future that's for the party it's definitely going to develop regardless of what happens to the alliance so the party will develop as for the alliance it's something we're negotiating now and will arrive at a decision into time. on june the first you said on facebook that those who set off an artificial price hike for basic foods and want to assert the rule of law listeners over the rule of law will feel the full weight of a lot who were you referring to and what do you mean by saying they will feel the full weight of the law i meant exactly what you just said the context being that we became aware of some illegal activity by a number of supermarkets in europe than they simple taney asli raised prices for some products and it looked like a kind of sabotage and so i reacted by saying we were ready to take action to restore justice in this area that's what it was about in the end these supermarkets had to pay quite a high fine beca

way out. now, it's still being held up alliance withn an the p.a.n., the presidential governors,then some somestates. however, this is a short-term alliance. the p.r.d. are on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum. like a normal, natural alliance. this was an anti-amlo alliance that has not done very well. so we need to start worrying p.r.d. as a party, as well. of then these are sort population gains. if morena is at the top, if it puebla but not veracruz, it will win basically 25 million voters. the only sense that they will be governor.er a morena if the p.r.i. wins yucatan, then will have two million voters these voters in this election cycle. veracruz and wins guanajuato, 14 million. morena -- is jalisco at eight million. a note here. up on if we don't have governors from major parties able to anymore or fewer than normal, what will happen to the mexican party system? the party problems is system, despite all of the problems with the parties and party leadership, they have been maintain over 90% of votes and seats up until i think 2015 and then fell to 80 but if eric is correct and i

alliance. so the ripples go way out and now we have -- the mistake trump is repeating is more obama's iraq mistake which is i'm going to withdraw our forces, but i'm also withholding $200 million in reconstruction assistance and i'm cutting off all of our civilian assistance to areas that are not controlled by assad, which is basically, you know, okay, who's left on the ground? assad, iran, russia and sunni extremists. >> that's right. >> and what's going to grow there? is isis 3.0, right? so that's i think my biggest worry. >> i know we want to get to some of the questions you submitted. we had cooked up earlier that we wanted to just talk a little bit about dod and state because that is your career in the pentagon. you split your time pretty evenly between think tank and government worlds. my government stint was at state and i'm a state baby in the sense that i'm a foreign service brat. so i'm going to give you a chance to tell me the most dysfunctional thing about the defense department. >> oh, sure. >> and your favorite thing about the state department. >> great. >> and then i'll return the f

those who believe that one reason why trampled out of the way was because he wanted to do obama's legacy another reason of course is because of his alliance with the saudi an israeli regimes and the money that they're more ati's and the saudis are paying to the united states but i think that in any case his the way in which he is conducting himself whether it's in dealing with the europeans or with the chinese or with. iran or with canada and mexico i think it basically makes him a person who one simply cannot trust and the iranians know quite well that if he is not going to be able to work with the germans and the canadians and if they can't trust him then there's no way that the iranians can negotiate with him either side or on the politics professor from the university of tehran thank you this hour. it is just two days until the biggest sporting event of the year the twenty eight hundred fifty world cup gets underway fans are hoping on arguing over which of the thirty two nations will lift the famed trophy in moscow on july the fifteenth and our very own r t who is considered one of the very best minds in the game just say has been mak

actually it was an epic foreign policy fail because on the way out of canada, the president basically lamb basted our allies and fractured the alliance which is not what vladimir putin wants but puts us in a worse position vis-a-vis the north korea opportunity. >> it's difficult to fight with canada. it can be done, but it's hard to make them mad. super harsh tweets, very personal attacks. and this idea, strategically speaking as a country, it's in all of our interest for the summit to go well. but to go in -- you're talking about, you know, instead of riding any head of steam into this consequential summit he's doing a standing jump. >> i mean, look. the g7 is a summit you go to to align the strategy. >> right. >> you're not usually confronting -- >> like ehud l then go face the world. >> usually we're the quarterback, w make the huddle and make the play. >> it's really unprecedented fracture for us to have that kind of blow up with canada and the europeans. what i worry about is a signal it sends to the world. as he goes to the summit we're split from our closest countries in the world. south korea and japan who count on us for the

way out. now, it is still being held up because it's an alliance at the presidential level and some governors,e states, however, this is a short-term alliance that there on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum and this is not a normal, natural alliance. this is an anti- alliance that has not done very well. to worry about the party as well. these are population gains. if marina is at the top and evidence below but not veracruz it will win 25 million new voters but the only sense that they will be living under a morena governor. if it wins the yucatÁn voters out of all these voters in this election cycle if the pan wins than 14 million and [inaudible] is hardly school at 8 million. i want to end up on a note here and if we don't have governors from major parties able to win elections anymore or fewer than normal what will happen to the mexican party system. one of the problems here is that a party system, despite the problems with actual parties and the party leadership, they have been able to maintain and it was over 90% of votes in seats up until 2015 and then it fell to 80 but if erica

way to safeguard interests in northeast asia. you know, as professor lee mentioned, north korea will be pushing the united states out of northeast asia and the u.s. south korean alliance. beijing has an interest in that as well. so the trump administration has left our south korea ally to some extent out of the loop. coordination is not as tight as it should have been. the process and the singapore process have been split apart that allow both north korea but also beijing addition nam leverage to play the allies off each other. that's not in america's interest and is part of the broader process of american retrenchment perspective. >> and from the prospect that you so important ly said, the focus is on north korea and kim jong-un. president trump is about to arrive on the left-hand of your screen there at the singapore air force base in what we believe to be a handful of moments, as once said. we'll go to late evening here. trump said he'll know in the first minute if something good is going to happen. what to make of this strategy, plus what happened at the end of the g7 summit all said? peninsula trail? you won't find that on a map. i'll take you there. take this le

way and the u.s. alliance-- >> who are you with out of curiosity? >> cnn. >> i figured, fake news cnn the worst.t i can tell by the question. i had no eyed you were with cnn. after the question. and the relationship is a ten and the relationship i have is great and you can tell that to your fake friends at cnn. neil: and when the president speaks before the press, do not think you are above or beyond getting fingered by the president of the united states and that, of courses found out by a cnn reporter. at the issue is whether the president is odd man out with our trading partners, a variety of networks including this one raised that up for summit, what would presumably be the friendlier confines talking to the dictator out there. the president started a trade war these countries say and now the president to his credit is saying he wants to balance things out and that if it could produce a world where we don't have tariffs or trade subsidies, all would benefit. again, it's causing a big ruckus across the globe, particularly among our friends. what do my panelists make of that. gary b smith, and

to the chinese and i can't quite see how that's going to play out right now in a way that's favorable to china because this smacks of alliance possibly or partnership that for them naturally would just fit into this hypothesis of a growing containment strategy against china that all the ducks are basically lined up again against china south korea japan and now north korea so this is clearly going to be a very big issue for beijing right now and even despite what the one years mentioned i think behind closed doors they're going to have to scratch especially heads over this one and work out the finer details and see how this is going to play out. thank you so much for being with us over the last few hours and making sense of this fast moving story we're still getting details of this declaration i can actually show it to you know sammy this is the declaration that was signed quite some time ago between the u.s. president and the north korean leader this though is not the actual document released by the white house or the state department photos have been examined very closely all of what the president held up and from a digital

way? do you view the u.s. alliance system shifting under your presidency? >> who are you with, out of curiosity? >> cnn. >> i figured. fake news cnn. the worst. but i could tell by the -- i had no idea you were cnn. after the question, i was just curious. you're with cnn. i would say that the level of relationship is a ten. we have a great relationship. angela and emmanuel, justin. i would say the relationship is a ten. and i don't blame them. i blame, as i said -- i blame our past leaders for allowing this to happen. there's no reason this should happen. there's no reason we should have big trade deficits with virtually every country in the world. i'm going long beyond the g7. there's no reason for this. it's the fault of the people that preceded me. and i'm not just saying president obama. i'm going back a long way. you can go back 50 years, frankly. it just got worse and worse and worse. we used to be a nation that was unbelievably cash flow oriented, had no debt of any consequence. and we built the highway system. we built the interstate system out of -- virtually out of cash flow. and it wa

in singapore the winners loaded with if you do it the same way into you do you beat us alliances and shifting of your presidency away with out of curiosity c.n.n. . i figured fake news c.n.n. the worst but the guy could tell by the quote have no idea was c.n.n. after the question i was just curious as to who you're with us in and i would say that the level of relationship is a ten we have a great relationship. and emmanuelle and justin i would say the relationship is a ten and i don't blame them i blame as i said i blame our past leaders for allowing this to happen there was no reason that should happen there's no reason that we should have a big trade deficit with virtually every country in the world i'm going to long beyond the g seven there's no reason for this it's the fault of the people that preceded me and i'm not just saying president obama i'm going back a long way to go back fifty years frankly it just got worse and worse and worse you know we used to be a nation that was unbelievably cash flow oriented had no debt of any consequence and they build the highway system we built the internet you know the interstate sy

singapore, that makes zero sense because the way we're going to get a better deal out of countries like north korea, iran, russia, others, is having alliancenity against them and donald trump is undermining that. and moreover, he just had one major failed summit with the g-7 and canada, and it is putting pressure on him not to have a second failed summit with kim jong-un in singapore this is strengthening kim jong-un's negotiating position. as usual, these white house talking points make no sense, because they're trying to explain a president who is essentially irrational. >> let's see what happens because they're going to be sitting down face to face with nothing other than the translaters in the room with them for something like two hours is what it is looking like. >> heaven help us. >> we will see, max. be the eternal optimist like you never have been. great to see you, max, thank you. i appreciate it. >>> coming up, republican lawmakers speak out in defense of canada and against president trump on what max and i are just talking about. is he going to listen? has he ever? and what are they going to do about it when he doesn't listen? t

way, and do you view the u.s. alliance systems shifting under your presidency awayrom -- >> who are you with, out of curiosity?cnn. >> i figured. fake news, cnn. the worst, but you know i could tell by the question -- i had no idea you were cnn. after the question, i was just curious as to who you were with. you were with cnn. the relationship that i've had is great. so you can tell that to your fake friends at cnn. ence os ]aughter ] >> seth: he sounds like a high hool shomore who's best friend started hanging out with the cool kids. "well, i just got promoted to treasurer of the chess club. so tell that to your fake friends!" [ laughter ] [ applause ] also, there's only one person at cnn who i think might be fake, and that's wolf blitzer. look at him. [ laughter ] beard, glasses, his name is wolf. that's obviously anderson cooper in a disguise. [ laughter ] now trump's main disagreement with our allies is over trade. he's repeatedly lied or exaggerated our trade relationships with europe and canada. but he insists that he's still friendly with those nations, because according to him, they know that he's righ

way out th door. >> sreenivasan: senators from both parties weighed in on mr. trump's decision. llpublican senator john mccain tweeted: "to ouries: bipartisan majorities of americans remain pro-fe trade, pro-globalization and supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. americans stand with you, even if our president doesn't." democratic senator dianne feinstein also cridecized the sion not to endorse the g-7 agreement. >> and it seems to me tet to sign a snt of solidarity, which stands for everything we stand fo is a big mistake. >> sreenivasan: joining us now to unravel this rapid turn of international events is "washington post" rorr damian paletta. we don't usually talk about the day after a g 5, g 6, g-7, g-8 almmit as such a controver or newsworthy event, but where are things now? last night, at the epiend of the program i said there was communique, all of the countries agreed to it, but that is not the case anymore. >> no. as a matter of fact, i mean this is really a huge international incident. we had the president of the united states ree with six tther leading economies to this joint statem about trade and free trade and then the president got on air force one to flyo singapore for his north korean meetin

alliances has served incredibly well. however, you know, we did knock out some of our own spokes, particularly in southeast asia in a way that we now are reaping the -- i wouldn't say benefits of but the conseences of. so, again, i think we took kind of a, you know -- one thing that we certainly could learn from that early world war ii era is that a more collective approach to international politics and to security is likely to be a more robust, you know, again, i think we're -- there have been consequences from us being the hub, so to speak in that the spokes, the tensions between korea and japan are possibly overblown in the popular mind. but the kinds of things that we have done to bring european nations closer together. the eu, for all its faults is a more robust institution and entity, analogious organization in asia. andfinally, i would say, look, i think it's very telling and probably a good idea to -- although those guys spend a lot of time on airplanes in indo pay com, but those two regions are very closely linked. you know, thinking about that space as a whole continuum, which again, sort of makes the fulcrum move

way for the cohesive government to do anything. thee documents administration put out, recognizing the great power competition is back. the stress and importance of alliances and partnerships with maritime democracies. the great power rivalry is back. value on allies in partnerships. we have had a total retreat on trade. started with the transpacific partnership, this was our invention. , toe able to agree to this what we sold as the gold standard of trade agreements. not a way to create a great reputation for standing by this international agreement. what does this do? this allows other to built gaps asianlk about infrastructure investment initiatives and other things as we go through the question and answers of moderated discussions. on is that of game we are losing in the gray zone, that region between peace and war. not imaginative, creative, resourceful, according to the study. as a result, our allies are shaping their policies and strategies and desires. even australia is having an internal debate about the extent of the chinese influence their and how much is proper and how much is profitable. ineffectiveen to be at answering these gray zone challen

way. it's interesting, dave, because when you see the official line coming out of the kremlin, they say, look, we don't want america to call into question its alliancesith other country photocopies you look at especially russian state-run television which essentially is controlled by the government here, then the tone certainly is very different. they are saying that president trump is on their side. they have a longstanding thing where they keep saying that president trump wants better relations with russia. but it's people in america who are stopping him in the administration. they also say that in the future, the europeans are going to have to come to grips with the fact it's going to be america and russia calling the shots that the europeans will be marginalized and saying the deftsnys of russia and president trump are in some way tied together. now, of course, all of that is something that folks in european capitals won't want to hear. and it's something that is of grave concern because they have had those altercations with the president, especially over the past couple of weeks and months where the president has essentially called into question

out without telling your military ally is not the best way to aach this sort of thing. when we think about negotiations with north korea, we have to remember we can't throw our alliance connec alliance equities on the table but that's what we've done. by the full-titime we get to aue will reach a decision point. at that point the united states will have to decide whether it's going to suspend the august exercisesr whether it's going to go forward with them. >> you worked at the pentagon, what do you imagine secretary mattis is think wing where the president mentioned not flying the b-52s from guam? >> i think they were blind sided. he said he thought a wast funds and effort to fly bombers from stand off positions like guam and the asia pacific region into the domain there. that's a critical part of ou det deterrence and it's something airmen are doing each and every day to ensure security. you have to wonder what else was promised that we haven't yet heard about. >> republicans on the hill are slow to comment on this. i think everyone is trying to absorb the details because it broke overnight. the chairman of the foreign relations committee who is not running for re-electio

alliance and rex tillerson is out. so he doesn't have a the secretary of state that he is aligned with either in the same way. >> i getthe feeling when he hired john bolton, he forgot the rest of the guys. he brought in mr. neo con. why would he stick with mad dog mad tis nims anymore? >> john possibility on the, he is more in sync with trump's view of the world. >> trump is against mr. stupid wars and bolton is mr. stupid war. >> mattis represents something that is antithetical to what mr. trump is as far as that nationalist tone, as far as america's role in the world. and john bolton gives the president the necessary credence to say it is okay. >> are you part of the 93% of republicans that -- >> i'm just explaining the way the president has thought about this, chris. >> oh my god. you don't think -- are you telling me trump is a neo con? >> i don't know if the president understands what neo conservatism is. >> chris, your view on in. i think mad dog mattis is seen by a lot of people who watch programs like this and read the paper as sort of a stabilizing force. apparently he has no role at all. >> absolutely. what

alliances. the president really doesn't seem to see it that way. he views each interaction as essentially a zerosome game. what can you do for me? what can i get outit. and thus the entire process is just strewn with much more division and uncertainty than we're accustomed to. >> because, jeffrey, the president clearly seems more anxious to meet with kim jong-un than america's closest allies. >> i think it is remarkable. young there have been, you know, these divisions in american history between, you know, isolationism and internationalism. and the president seems to sort of move back and forth between them. when it comes to our allies in trade, he's, you know, america first. we don't need allies. we don't need alliances. but when it comes to military matters, you know, he has been more on the sort of neo conservative side. you know, threatening iran. and, you know, at least initially threatening north korea. this is why our allies are having a hard time predicting which way he'll go. i think, you know, one of the very open questions about this summit is, you know, which donald trump will show up. is it the one who seems deeply, deeply anxious to

out, the bull in the china shop. >> this is quite consistent with president trump's view of the world from the start which does not respect traditional alliances the way previous presidents has, america first america alone quality. doesn't want free trade in the same way previous presidents wanted about. >> why? is this a psychological condition? >> i don't know how to explain his attitude toward russia. i think his attitude toward america is a kind of for res america. that is his view of the world. >> look at these guys. look at these guys. this as interesting bromance going on here. he's not doing that with any of our allies from the west. >> that's interesting. >> he's in ca hoots with this guy. >> it's not just putin. putin is the number one guy, but with the chinese president, with the north korean dictator. >> he likes butties. >> he wants to make friends with these people more than maintain the existing relationships where even if we have trade disputes and policies we share values. there's a liberal western democracies and japan, we share a set of values in a world that's increasingly polarized where these values are under attack. he has no re

the way donald trump is doing kind of bully boy diplomacy and bluster instead of alliance building and soothing of nervous tensions. he has a lot at stake in north korea, if he can pull an ember out able to say my approach to deal making reaps benefits. >> sue mi, do you think china is watching this firestorm thinking they have a golden opportunity. >> of course this only helps countries like china and russia. by the way, there was a recent poll in german where russia said china and russia are more reliable partners than united states. what does that tell you? this is again not the right time, particularly when you're going in for a meeting like this, major negotiation with north korea to be doing this with allies. >> thanks so much sue mi terry, get to talk with both of you. gone but not forgotten anthony bourdain's death leaving friends and fans alike devastated. why his death shook viewers around the world. next, you're live in "cnn newsroom." sumatra, colombia and other parts of south america. like these mountains, each amazing on their own. but together? magical. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. we always came through for our custome

alliances with enemies like iran. they have ties with russia. what does china want to get out of our discussions with north korea, do you think? >> well, look, north korea in many ways provides a buffer for them against u.s. influence, against japanese influence. i mean, north korea and that regime particularly a nuclearized north korea is not as good for the good guys in the region. not as good for the united states, south korea, not as good for japan. all of our allies in the pacific do not want to see a nuclearized north korea. so in that china understands t nature of the regime, but at the same time, it's not clear to me that a denuclearized korean peninsula is necessarily something that china views that's in its best interest if it is hell-bent, which i think it is, expanding power throughout the region. mark: congressman zeldin, what do you say to people who say, yeah, they can give up nukes in north korea because they have the relationship with china. and china will expand its umbrella to cover north korea? >> the north koreans have a path here that not only will they be a safer economically, but also safer with their national security and what they view as e

way in which elements of our business establishment have decided with all of the disruption, all of the, you know, loud and troubling comments that come out this have white house, to make a tactical alliance, they like the tax plan, this and that. when you're with long-time republican friends on capitol hill, who were people in a sense, who hold the balance right now in terms of how this story plays out, what do you tell them? do you ever reflect back on what happened with the german establishment in a similar situation so long ago? fmr. sec. albright: well, i think that what is interesting to me is that -- and i do have republican friends -- is that they are, in some ways, hoping this will go away and that there are certain advantages because there is a difference, i think, between democrats and republicans about the role of government, generally. so, i think that there are certain that prefer not having a lot of regulations and government intrusion and certainly like the new tax plan. so, it's kind of like, this will go away, and there are those that i think to a great extent are a part of what i call normalizing what is going on and of thinking that we'll get over this. and i do think

out russia has meddled in elections in france, germany, spain ukraine and overly try to divide the nato alliance and interfere with our allies. will russian election interference in the united states in a way that has harmed our key lehto -- nato allies will be a focus of the summit with putin and a focus of the upcoming nato summit? >> this is what i can say. as far as the nato summit, i've seen the agenda it will be there. every conversation has been that we've had between the u.s. government and counterpart with russia, two or three times i raised the issue in each and every conversation. i'm confident when the president leaves putin -- meets putin he will make clear that meddling in our elections is completely unacceptable. >> i hope our president will hold putin and russia accountable for their aggression in you cane -- ukraine and support of a assad . i'm concerned that the assad regime is on the march and taking aggressive action. i agree with the proposition advanced by the chairman at the beginning that we need to remain on the ground. we need to remain engaged in syria in order to have the opportunity to shape any negotiations that might resolve this horrible conflict. is it your
