i look at the u.s./mexico relationship and i think you can point out a few things, but i think it's pretty hard to make that case too. however, i look at the chinese/american relationship and i think you can make a pretty compelling case that it has been really problematic for the united states. by the way, problematic for canada. i don't know mexico as well, but mexico as frankly a huge current account deficit with the world. i suspect china is driving those numbers. i haven't looked at them. this is a common problem that we could be addressing. but in the campaign, president trump equated china and mexico and somehow that has turned into mexico and canada. that's where we are today. >> so what i'm going to do, if there are some questions in the audience, if you would identify yourself and ask the question. no questions from the press, please. just from members of the audience. and i reserve the right as the moderator to amend or reject the question. i wish i had seen the gary arturo traveling road sho

the u.s. is still at the table still at the table until twenty twenty when the announcement to withdraw from the paris agreement actually comes into effect they all they've even been given one of the delegates has been given a leading role in one of the key negotiating panels. and i think the interesting thing is the u.s. has played such a positive role at many climate summit that this particular presidency this particular summit is trying to keep the u.s. on the board. people are perhaps nervous about how the u.s. is going to behave but they're also quietly confident i think if if the u.s. delegates begin to push trump's cold policies for instance procope pro pro gas or all that kind of stuff that he's been talking about they will get angry very quickly with the americans. that delegation is far smaller they haven't done a pretty climate briefing so we're all waiting to see how they're going to behave mentally i mean this is of course. a central issue also in terms of keeping other countries

now u.s. regulators say their plans to revoke so-called net neutrality rules have widespread public backing the move could lead to a two tier internet where some sites pay to get their traffic prioritized over others it seems as though not all public feedback was actually genuine. seeing this is pretty annoying and if net neutrality is rolled back in the us people will be seeing a lot more of it here's how it works at the moment internet providers have to treat all online traffic equally that means that they can't block or slow anything down but all thora cheese won't matter and they think the private sector will invest trillions of dollars into web services if their plan goes ahead they even asked the country what it thought of the move people to submit comments and twenty two million replied the majority in favor of repealing net neutrality problem is some users starting to complain that they didn't write the comments then approved by the new york attorney general revealed some feedback to t

welcome back u.s. president donald trump said better relations with russia would be key to solving world crises like syria and north korea he was speaking a day after the apec summit in vienna we have to get to work to solve syria to solve north korea to solve ukraine to solve terrorism and i feel that having russia in a friendly posture as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world and an asset to our country not a liability getting along with other nations is a good thing not a bad thing believe me a formal meeting between the russian and the u.s. presidents had been highly anticipated though it never happened apparently due to shed chilling problems. nevertheless the two leaders did briefly catch up on the summit sidelines and released a joint statement on the situation in syria they both confirms that determination to defeat islamic state the president also agreed that can be no military solution to the syrian conflict they also said a final political settlement should be found t
