the idea of meeting with maduro is, his desire to meet with xi jinping, to meet with vladimir putin,e loves the idea of meeting with the strong authoritarian figures. and there's no point in giving maduro any legitimacy and others. that's a number of things that the president did and are trying to do and yet, under your leadership with president trump we now have the best u.s. and israel relationship in our country. do you believe that to be true? >> yes. i think the question was, what was a motivating factor for it? that was largely electoral. i'm very glad those decisions were made. in another good example, it don't mistake for philosophy. he does have the philosophy, and his strategic goal and he says that since his departure, and he was advisor to the president. not the president. since leaving office bolton has dedicated himself to undermine the president whose only sin was failing to see the world through john bolton's eyes. from an israeli perspective and someone who has known you for 15 years. >> i think she misses a number of key points. believe me i was perfectly aware of w

as he sought, xi jinping help soughte election -- he xi jinping's help with the election and one where he approved the imprisonment of the uighurs. expected to be exclusive and filed a lawsuit trying to block the book from being released to the public, however, various news organizations have begun to report what is inside. tell us more about this bill signed today and the relationship. >> the bill requires president trump to sanction any official responsible for the mistreatment of uighurs. prompted threats of retaliation but it's also the latest escalation we have seen between the u.s. and china. point, it seems like there is no point to that tension yet. what we have on the international front? u.s. isow hearing the downplaying prospects of the u.k. and the eu. tariffs tos used make his point in the past. we might see that again. robert lighthizer is confident they will meet -- make an agreement but there is still a sticking point on big culture and i know there has also been a delay in discussions. that's the one where countries are trying to find an agreement with multinational co

do we have some sense of what he was trying to achieve with xi jinping? >> sure.jinping to commit to buying more american agricultural products, specifically to help president trump win favor in farm states and therefore potentially win the election this year in 2020. he was very blunt and open, according to mr. bolton, and saying help me win the election, if you buy these agricultural products, that will help me in these farm states. we should note that robert lighthizer, u.s. trade representative, testified on the hill today. he was asked about this, he said i was at that meeting and it didn't happen. but it's a pretty stark picture that mr. bolton is painting here where the president of the united states is asking china for help to win an election. it parallels, in effect, what the ukraine case was all about, the idea of bringing in a foreign power, in that case ukraine, to interfere in domestic politics, in that case to investigate democrats. what it shows, according to mr. bolton, is a desire by the president or sort of a predilection by the president to mix

for example, president trump apparently told xi jinping, the president of china, that muslim uighursould be interned in these camps during a private meeting, but the policy is that the trump administration has sanctioned and put export controls -- controls on 30 companies for building those very camps, and that dichotomy holds true, especiallyhen it comes to china policy. does the preside's closed-door flattery matter when the administration's pocy is confrontational? >> first of all, you've got to allow for the possibility that if the president says that privately, it encourages president xi jinping to take even sterner measures against the uighur population, so there's that point. secondly, perhaps he could have helped avoid some pain being inflicted on the uighurs if he had taken a more advocat position on behalf of human rights in china, rather than flattering or accommodating president xi jinping, so i think it is important to be consistent in your private and public statements. i don't think there's much advantage in saying almost the opposite thing in one setting as opposed to

a controversial national anthem bill the latest measure imposed by china's hard line president xi jinping. i'm serious so it's got to thank you for joining us it is the biggest in u.s. package in germany's post-war history the measures agreed on by the government after marathon talks are aimed at helping the country's economy recover from the coronavirus lock down the $130000000000.00 euro plan includes cutting the sales tax giving cash to families and providing extra funding for minas apologies. after 2 days of intense talks their marriage with $50000000000.00 euros more than anyone expected under a dramatic surprise aimed to get germans reaching for their wallets v.h.d. will be cut by 3 percent until the end of the year. vehemence and because you know that along don't we need to make sure that everyone has the courage to invest again and to make sure that the consumer demand rises to unseat. for weeks industry leaders have lobbied hard for american see help in the end there was a little for everyone thought and if you thought. there will be a great number of further measures aimed at re

that the president pleaded with chinese leader xi jinping to buy more u.s. farm products from states sympathetic to the president to help him win the 2020 election. today, that brought quick denials. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany. >> that is absolutely untrue. and no one, no president, has been tougher on china than president trump. >> alcindor: bolton further claims that president trump endorsed china's internment of more than a million uighur muslims in detention camps. and, again and again, he points to the president's inexperience in the international arena. for instance, in an abc news interview, he highlights president trump's relationship with russian president vladimir putin. >> i think putin thinks he can play him like a fiddle. when you're dealing with someone like putin, who has made his life understanding russia's strategic position in the world, against donald trump, who doesn't enjoy reading about these issues or learning about them, it's a very difficult position for america to be in. >> alcindor: but many of bolton's statements

xi jinping, chinese ruler is looking for a victory, he will probably end up with a string of defeats d that's when china becomes more dangerous. although diplomats can talk the reality is that jinping is pushing the world in a very, very dangerous direction. maria: so what could come out of the talks, gordon, what's the point of having the diplomatic talks when we know about the -- the dictatorship and the behavior of the chinese communist party? is pompeo really going to be able to contain any of this? gordon: i actually don't think but the one thing that secretary pompeo can do which he's good at doing is making it clear to china is what the consequences of their actions will be. he has been extremely stern and he has taken measures instead of talking about this so i think that the chinese will at least at the diplomatic level will take into account what secretary pompeo is saying, but the problem is it's not the chinese diplomats, the problem is xi jinping, the chinese ruler. maria: yeah, is there any pressure that he could face in terms of the people revolting. let's look at this

in it, he claims trump asked xi jinping to help him win reelection.ith fox news, trump deny those allegations and said bolton broke the law with his revelations. >> but he broke the law. very simple. has most -- as much as it's going to be broken, this is highly classified, that's the highest stage, highly classified information. rishaad: to get more on this, let's bring in our editor jodi schneider. . ,et's start with the nsa national security advisor, john book.'s what did the president allegedly say? i suppose it is germane right now as we run-up to the general election. reporter: it is important for that reason and also as you noted, president trump has signed that bill. basically the disclosure is from mr. bolton's book as an excerpt of the book in the wall street journal and other places that basically at this meeting, president trump encouraged china to build internment camps to .ouse uighur muslims according to the excerpt, president trump why he was building these camps and president trump said they should go ahead with building the camps, th

back control from britain promised a one country 2 systems policy is being signed by president xi jinping and it's now in full force critics say the legislation erodes hong kong's freedoms and shatters its status as a major international financial center a jim brown reports from hong kong. it normally takes a year for china's parliament to pass legislation this time it happened in record time just 40 days the new security law completed its passage after a vote by the country's most powerful political body the standing committee of the national people's congress in hong kong china supporters were also celebrating before the news that even being confirmed. a contentious measure the busy divided the city was once more defended by its chief executive the legislation oppose imposing legal principles such as presumption of innocence and protection of the rights of the sox that it will have no race respectively fact the critics here say the new law now threatens to stifle even small displays of dissent like this one in a local shopping mall on tuesday china is just causing passing a law without

book to the media in it he's accusing mr trump of asking leaders including the chinese president xi jinping to help him get reelected this year november the 3rd of course the election in the states now the 577 page book is called the room where it happened and it's got the president lashing out on twitter calling it a compilation of lies and made up stories just to make him look bad he continued saying the statements attributed to him were quote pure fiction he added that it was all about john bolton trying to get even referring to him mr bolton as a sick puppy ellen fisher has been following the story since it broke he joins us from the white house allan a bit of a page turner was the best bit you got to so far. the interesting thing that strikes me as i'm going through it going through reasonably quickly you know this book is out there it's been shipped around the world the shelves on tuesday journalists have got digital copies of seen a few journalists walking around with hard copies of this so if the white house's view is to try and stop this they're not going to be overly successful bu

about the precise details of the still that's right fully so we know the latest is that president xi jinping china's president has officially signed this law this is the final step for any law that gets passed here on the mainland so officially it's all set it's signed and sealed but when it will exactly be delivered in hong kong well we expect that will happen july the 1st tomorrow on wednesday which is the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from britain back to mainland china 23 years ago now we know this afternoon all hong kong delegates to china's national people's congress that is china's palm and took part in meetings that were held forth in hong kong and in beijing and they were given a summary of the law no details but they were basically told that this law will act as a deterrent for anybody trying to destabilize hong kong and earlier today at 9 am local time on tuesday china standing committee as you mentioned voted to pass this law unanimously and we know that this is a hefty law it has 6 chapters and 6 articles in it and really this was tremendously fast tracked by beijing

it seems xi jinping is willing independent financial status of hong kong.that he and china probably can maintain as much as possible opinion --elatively relatively opinion theft of hong kong going forward. they want to increase their grip on the city but at the same time make sure that the financial industry will not be hit hard by it, and indeed, that is a challenging task that he has set up. anna: good morning. we understand that president xi will be joining the call between the eu and china today. perhaps a late addition to the lineup. it is a signal to the european union that xi jinping and china's leadership is taking europe a bit more seriously these days. this has not been the case over the past two years. major leaders have not shown up for negotiations, etc., but i think under the pressure they are in, they certainly do not want to lose europe, so it is a sign of, i think, attention by thateadership in beijing they want to send to europe and brussels. matt: what role do you expect the u.s. to play here? obviously, there has been a little bit of a b

so when he's on the phone with someone like erdogan or vladimir putin or xi jinping, he tends to get totally rolled. and our policies just shift all over the place. in the case of syria, we have american forces on the ground. these are matters of war and peace, life and death. the commander in chief has to be prepared and thoughtful and prudent and is kind of the opposite. he's very manipulable. and it makes it very difficult for america to have any sort of consistent foreign policy. our diplomats around the world that do the diplomacy day to trump can change everything overnight. if their leader gets to trump, everything shifts. we know this. this has been a pattern. so bolton is saying basically just confirms what we've seen, and you've been covering now for three years. >> well, the erdogan part of this, which you have, you know, sort of intimately been exposed to because you -- you resigned from your position after donald trump abruptly ordered the evacuation of american troops from part of northeastern syria because basically erdogan called him up and asked him to do it. the erd

with xi jinping. the president saying he's going to cut off china aircraft and air carriers from coming to the united states in response to china not agreeing to the resumption of our carriers entering china. what do you see is happening right now? because this seems to be increasingly a tense, tense moment. >> well, it's very important for president trump's transportation department to do this. and the reason, lou, is this is reciprocity. this is just very simple and basic. china has violated its air carriers agreement with the united states. they've been doing that for months now. and, clearly, we had to react. so this is a great moment because previous presidents would have just sort of ignored this as they ignored other types of issues. so good for president trump. he's actually defending the american carriers, he's defending the american economy. lou: is and increasingly -- and increasingly, the chinese are insulting him, ridiculously so, and he is putting up with it to this point, threatening th

yeah, xi jinping announced, was in charge of the coronavirus, on the seventh of january, and of course on the 14th of january, the w.h.o. tweeted there was limited transmission, of course they took that tweet down, at the same time, we know that from the 13th of january to the commonest party of china knew about transmission through immediate reports in china. then of course it continued to allow people to travel, it was a peak travel season because of chinese new year. all the way up until the 23rd of january when they closed. of course when they did that, they also started awarding, acquiring ppe, all of this, while trying to portray that there was no danger from human to human transmission. and pressuring the world health organization to not say anything about transmission. >> there has been that, according to that china did try to stop the w.h.o. from sounding the alarm on the covid-19 outbreak back in january. why, why is that significant when you have potentially china applying that kind of pressure to a world health organization? >> well, because with the taiwanese found out in

meanwhile, john bolton wrote that president trump asked china's xi jinping to help him win reelection by buying more u.s. farm products. an exit from the book appears in "the wall street journal," in a devastating portrayal of the president's conduct in foreign policy. the president calls bolton "a liar," and the justice the court has asked to not let the book be public. critics mourn that legislation will threaten hong kong's unique freedom. the measure would punish acts of secession, subversion, terrorism, and collusion in hong kong. any report says the coronavirus pandemic could wipe out more wealth than the financial crisis a decade ago. according to boston consulting group, more than $16 trillion of wealth could disappear, and growth could be slowed for the next five years. the report said the biggest losers would be rich people in north america and japan. several brands with ties to slavery have apologized, and will make payments to projects supporting black and ethnic minorities, according to "the telegraph." global news 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, pow

president xi jinping china's president has officially signed this law this is the final step for any law that gets passed here on the mainland so officially it's all said it's signed and sealed but when it will exactly be delivered in hong kong well we expect that will happen july the 1st tomorrow on wednesday which is the anniversary of the handover of hong kong from britain back to mainland china 23 years ago now we know or this afternoon all hong kong delegates to china's national people's congress that is china's palm and took part in meetings that were held forth in hong kong and in beijing and they were given a summary of the law nor details but they were basically told that this law will act as a deterrent for anybody trying to destabilize hong kong and earlier today at 9 am local time on tuesday china's standing committee has voted to pass this law unanimously and we know so far that this is a hefty law it has 6 chapters and 6 articles in it and really this was tremendously fast tracked by beijing only about 40 days after it was 1st announced during china's national people's

well china's president xi jinping is known for his tough approach not just to hong kong but as a part of a broader strategy to assert china's authority on the global stage as we report making china and himself look strong has been one of she's main goal since he came to power 7 years ago. back in march 23rd when she became the president of china if you could have known what kind of leader he was going to become. but it soon became clear that he planned to take a hard line especially with people he regarded as a threat to the state one of his 1st moves was to target both high and low ranking officials in a sweeping campaign against corruption indicting more than $100000.00 people on charges of graft or abuse of power. this turned out to be the start of what she viewed as an historic mission to restore china to its former greatness but fishies goal to be realized the chinese communist party needed to consolidate his power and exert more control in all areas of life. in 2014 this led to g.'s 1st major showdown with pro-democracy protesters in hong kong. the demonstrators that a new edict

industrial complex what do you make of these supposed revelations denied by trump that he asked for xi jinping as help in winning the members u.s. election read interesting passage about this conversation. she. apparently should.

apparently mr trump told xi jinping it was the right thing to do to detained a million uighurs and eitherion. from a human rights point of view and moral point of view that seems incredibly questionable. and the other comment had to do with buying agricultural products in exchange for different promises and donald trump telling xi jinping different promises and donald trump telling xijinping it would help him win the election and that is taken people draw comparisons with what happened with ukraine, that was again a discussion with a foreign leader, conversation about a foreign policy and donald trump appearing to direct the foreign policy in a way that would help him anything 2020 election so john bolton is writing this was not just ukraine and john bolton is writing this was notjust ukraine and china, this was actually happening all the time in the donald trump white house and john bolton also writes that he would be hard—pressed also writes that he would be ha rd—pressed to also writes that he would be hard—pressed to think of a time when it did not happen, that donald trump was not di

john bolton also claims mr trump told xi jinping it was the right thing to do for china to detain about indoctrination. the white house is trying to stop publication of the book.

donald trump tried to get china's leader xi jinping to help him secure re—election, according to thebolton, in a new book. john bolton says mr trump "pleaded" with the chinese leader to buy more agricultural produce from american farmers. the trump administration is trying to prevent publication of the book, saying it contains "classified information" which will threaten national security. i spoke to amanda sloat, foreign policy analyst from the brookings institution, and asked her about the likely impact of all this. whether there is a kind of fatigue, these days, that greets new revelations about president trump. it certainly has been a long 3.5 years here in washington, and every day seems to be filled with new surprises. certainly for people that have been longtime opponents of the president, the group of never trump republicans, i don't think these surprises are anything new, and in many ways, they end up confirming people's worst fears. i think the biggest challenge politically is going to be to the president's campaign message that he is tougher on china than vice president jo

donald trump tried to get china's leader xi jinping to help him secure re—election, according to the book. john bolton says mr trump "pleaded" with the chinese leader to buy more agricultural produce from american farmers. the trump administration is trying to prevent publication of the book, saying it contains "classified information" which will threaten national security. the bbc‘s anthony zurcher has more. some of the stuff about china is particularly relevant. donald trump hoping that china would buy agricultural battle products from battle states shows that this was in his mind during these trade negotiations with president xijinping. he also said he didn't care that much about china having labourcamps for uighurs and that was, he wasn't gonna pressure china on human rights. it also confirmed the allegations that democrats made that donald trump was conditioning us military aid to ukraine on ukraine providing damaging information about democratic rivaljoe biden. all of this paints a picture of a president willing to bend foreign policy to personal and domestic political goals, w

there for the russians or anyone else to manipulate but my fear, whether it's vladimir putin or xi jinpingny other authoritarian foreign leader that they do see the president as easy to maneuver around to achieve their objectives. i think that's a very real concern. >> you state also that the president sought help from the chinese president for his reelection campaign, do you have any evidence that china is now helping the president's campaign? >> i don't think they're accomplishing the purchases of agricultural products that the president was really talking about, some of his trade advisors say the deal is going just fine and the chinese are complying, i think the evidence for that is slight to say the least and this points to one of the questions that voters generally but particular conservative republicans should be asking whether if trump was reelected in november if he will pursue the kind of rhetoric that his administration is using now and taking a tough line on china weather that will continue or disappear so the president can get back to the tree negotiation. >> too that point, do

that we've heard from china's foreign ministry for the past few months and indeed from president xi jinping himself who has said that beijing has always been forthcoming transparent and responsible when it has come to providing the international community with information about the pandemic and providing the world health organization with information as well president xi jinping has said that he promises to contribute true $1000000000.00 to the organization over the next 2 years but at the same time the report also goes against what the trump administration is saying it has accused the world health organization of colluding with the chinese government now it seems that they did praise and they were biased in their public opinion of china but it seems that the reason for this was very different to what it appeared to be to the public and slugs who killed at least 20 people including children in india's northeastern states of. days of heavy rain in the barrack valley region state inspectors say most of the makeshift homes that they were on tuesday morning were built on unstable land near hill

about the pandemic and providing the world health organization with information as well president xi jinping has said that he promises to contribute true $1000000000.00 to the organization over the next 2 years but at the same time the report also goes against what the trump administration is saying it has accused the world health organization of colluding with the chinese government now it seems that they did praise and they were biased in their public opinion of china but it seems that the reason for this was very different to what it appeared to be to the public. germany has pledged $140000000.00 in the u.k. more than $200000000.00 in humanitarian aid say yemen a virtual fund raising conference is being hosted by saudi arabia and the u.n. to support the war torn country a saudi u.a.e. led coalition has been fighting hooty rebels in the yemen for more than 5 years landslides have killed at least 20 people including children in india's northeastern state of. the been days of heavy rain in the bark valley region state inspectors say that most of the makeshift homes that gave way on tuesday m

i don't think, for example, vladimir putin or xi jinping had any trouble distinguishing between thosemp did. that was one of the reasons that i felt he was always so vulnerable to manipulation. >> stephen: i assume that you speak to your fellow long-term conservative republicans who have served multiple administrations. what are they saying behind closed doors? i mean there are high-profile things like the lincoln project and "republicans against trump." but when the cameras are off, what's the conservative opinion of donald trump? >> well, look, i think many of them, in fair tons trump, look at the comparison and, as i did in 2016 with hillary clinton, look at the comparison with joe biden, and say whatever week of him, he's not going to be a democrat subject, especially these days, to the pressure of the left. look, i bought that argument in 2016. >> stephen: no, he's going to be subject to the pressure of vladimir putin and xi jinping. he's a person willing to people for his own re-election. what could be worse in hillary clinton or joe biden's philosophy than betraying your countr

xi jinping almost never criticizes -- he almost never criticizes xi jinping by name, because he wantsuse this personal relationship to potentially absorb the blows escalating trade tensions or tensions from other areas as well. from china side it is the same. i remember in this book we had a of president xi historydiscussing the relationship with president trump, to the japanese prime minister. during that conversation president xi jinping made it clear that, i think i can make -- maintain a relationship with president trump. host: back to your phone call. kevin is joining us for maryland. we thank you for writing -- waiting.eriod -- if she i was wondering covered the topic of the china belt ambrose initiative and, my aggressively is the unitedd states government doing anything to counter that? -- how iss china china finding such a massive investment and do they not care about the ecological damage being done by that? host: a lot there. thank you, we will get a response. guest: beltran road initiative jinping'snt xi signature initiative, aimed at globally.china's role it is centered o

on that basis, china's course under xi jinping has been pretty straightforward since he has been in powerm: what is the sense of nationalism? by that, i mean there is a city-state structure that goes back for eons, there is a little bit of a national sense. comingunderstand that out of the takeover of the communist party, etc., but when you look at 2300 miles of beijing to india, what is the sense of nation of china from sea to shining himalayan mountain? stephen: well, china has been fragmented for thousands of years, and the unification of recents a fairly historical phenomena in the beginning in the mid-1800s with opium war in the so-called century of humiliation is something that has really captivated the chinese the spout by xi jinping since his term began in 2012 as part of the china dream. china is determined to overcome the century of humiliation and rise up as a great nation, so nationalism is wrapped around has becomeream and increasingly more important in the last nine years. tom: absolutely fascinating. what we are going to do, wonderful to have stephen roach with us with yale

look, i don't know, something about the authoritarian leader, erdogan, putin, xi jinping. what is so egregious about it, we have -- we're in the middle of a war and we're fighting a war very carefully with limited investment, limited risk, low cost, and for the commander in chief to take calls from heads of state without any preparation or thought, puts our country at risk. at least we have eight more months of this president and it's not just bolton's book. put the book aside. the letters last week, the statements from not only mattis, but also admiral mullen who i've worked with, former chan man joint chiefs of staff under president bush and president obama, uses his words very carefully. he said he flush questions the soundness of the fitness of this president to do the job. that's kind of where we are. and i think we have to really hang on here for another eight months because all of our adversaries out there, they know that our country is in deep trouble and this president is not up to the job. >> well, i mean, one of the things that we've seen, pa and economic manage

this is beijing's way of questioning dissent katrina you has the latest from beijing president xi jinping china's president has officially signed this law this is the final step for any law that gets passed here on the mainland so officially it's all set it's signed and sealed but when it will exactly be delivered in hong kong well we expect that will happen.

in china, it's very clearly xi jinping.ot even close belton road, ai by 2030, ending autonomy for hong kong, anticorruption, domestically, massive consolidation of power, ending of term limits. this is a dramatic change for what china looks like domestically and internationally. i mean, trump tweets very differently than obama does. but in terms of his actual policies internationally, when you get rid of all the rhetoric, there's a lot more constraint on what any american president would want to do, because of the balance of powers, because of the deep bureaucracy, because of whistle-blowers and all the rest so i really don't think we should overstate how much importance november has. rather, we should focus on the fact that these two countries that haven't trusted each other for a long time with increasingly decoupling their interdependence. and that means that the level of conflict and confrontation is going to go up >> i want to get to hong kong in just a moment, but i'm going to pause here and ask you to comment, if you
