the reason is that i look at the -- from the spectrum of threats, that affect the united states, first the homeland and then forces deployed, and i -- one way i look at it is to rank them on speed of effect. how fast from the time that an enemy makes a decision to initiate the use of a threat capability until it has an effect on the united states. and i would observe that the two fastest are electromagnetic, cyber, which can happen in second around the world, and high velocity aero pace, peninsula ballistic missile, type threats which can happen in anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes around the world. from the time you launch until something hits, on a typical minimum energy ballistic trajectory, it's 30 minutes. assuming you don't go in retrograde orbit. that's physics. nothing classifieds about it. any second year aeronautical engineering student should be able to clout that without breaking a situate. those are so much faster than nye form of warfare, manned aircraft don't go as fast, ships, 35 knots, tanks, 30 miles per hour. soldiers on foot, ten miles an hour. so from the time you sta

states." she was clearly talking about this. >> mr. cohen, how are you feeling? >> reporter: the news that michael cohen, the president's former lawyer and fixer, had struck a deal with special counsel robert mueller. cohen admitted the trump organization was in talks to build a moscow trump tower while trump was running for president, something that seems directly at odds with what trump has long said publicly. >> i have nothing to do with russia. i have no relationship to russia whatsoever. i have nothing to do with russia. i never did. >> reporter: abc news has learned cohen and a business associate were even talking about giving putin the $50 million penthouse in trump tower moscow. cohen had planned to travel to moscow during the campaign, but according to the special june 14th, 2016. that's the same day "the washingtthata had hacked the dn. the president today dismissed the cohen revelations, saying he continued to run his business while he ran for president and that's, quote, "very lega

can't really hope for a new round of sanctions working without the united states in the signals from the u.s. to get on board with new sanctions aren't very strong to say the least at the moment but don't notice the e.u. council president arriving here at the g. twenty summit at the beginning did say he expects a rollover of the already existing e.u. sanctions against russia. thank you the g. twenty summit is the first international diplomatic test for the saudi crown prince mohammed who we are and sell it we are going since the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in turkey back in october much of the world believes that the crown prince ordered that killing some leaders have distanced themselves from the prince namely and you're going to see that just a second turkish president erda was it did not go unnoticed today when the leaders gathered for a group photo or we're going to see that photo there we go i want you to look closely now the president's ever won and the saudi crown friends position themselves at opposite ends of the group the one you can see on the left the c

man controlling everybody in the united states here now? everybody is looking at the united states and just laughing. this is terrible. guest: the best advice i would give you is don't be played by either side. both sides are throwing stuff into the air. solely at to look what facts have been released in terms of criminal conduct. has been no there finding directly linking him of a clear crime. that doesn't mean mueller can't do that. more importantly when you talk about apologists for trump or kinde accused of the same of spin ultimately they don't matter. what matters is the special counsel. he is driving hard. the last two weeks has shown he is still trying to back trump. the only reason for these conflicts to come up is they did not give him material on trump. you can rest assured at least one person is not falling for that type of spin. that is robert mueller. host: tony in florida. caller: good morning. a pleasure to speak with you. mr. trump recently declassified documents that the doj and u.k. particular did not want released. my qu

states it essentially is still a free trade agreement between canada mexico and the united states maybe that is a sort of relief for people participating at the g twenty summit as it is a multilateral agreement and a commitment to free trade by those three countries but you have to put things in perspective and take a look at all the damage that the uncertainty during these years has actually caused when donald trump was essentially suggesting that it would end nafta at all and have no free trade agreement with its two neighboring countries companies stopped investing in companies could not plan companies fired people and that was definitely more damage perhaps than the good that this new deal brings in. our dog here think you will trump has one trade deal done there's an even larger one looming with china here's the president talking about his upcoming talks with she. will be meeting with the president she will do well but for the most part to morrow i would say would be upbeat maybe but in the meantime people are working our staff is working. with the people working with working very

he's taking advantage of the united states because he reads weakness in the united states and how we react. he's going to continue to be a bully as long as we don't stand up to him. >> thanks to robert mueller we know one of the president's closest associations was communicating directly with the kremlin about the trump tower moscow project. cnn has learned they floated the idea of giving vladmir putin a penthouse in that building, in that trump tower. you're the former cia director. how concerning is that to you? >> well it's very concerning because it's essentially providing a prescribe to a foreign leader in allowing him to have some kind of plush suite in the trump tower. we have to wait for bob mueller to fully investigate this issue. we do have the cohen plea now. it does indicate that there were efforts to construct the trump tower. it would not surprise me that mr. trump as a new york developer would offer all kinds of goodies to try to attract their approval or building that tower. i'm going to wait for the bob mueller investigation to determine exactly wa was invo e involve

states? i was raised in a family of achievers. emphasized not only to my brother and i, the importance of becoming educated, working really hard, and trying to become the pinnacle of success in one's community. when i look back at those days, the formative elements of what we were in our communities, the generously ofave time, energy, effort, and intellectual capacity to the community. that led me to strive for excellence. i want to explain to people what you did that made this great fortune. robert: what i was able to do is bring to couple of ideas. software is still the most productive tool introduced in our business economy. i see a number of software companies and how they operated. iran cross one that turned out to be a client. that trust ended up being my first investor. that particular business had a set of practices that they used, business practices, that helps them run that. in essence, we took some of the kernels of the best practices and if you take them as an engineer and creativ

then there's the trade issue not only the ongoing commercial standoff between the united states and china but also the signing of a revised commercial agreement to replace nafta mexico and canada have so far been resistant to donald trump's protectionist measures but there was some progress as i said the task isn't done there is more hard work ahead to build resilient strong economies that support families everywhere in canada make no mistake we will stand up for our workers and fight for their families and their communities. and donald it's all the more reason why we need to keep working to remove the tariffs on steel and aluminum between our countries the summit is a historic event for argentina and a chance for president. who is struggling with double digit inflation and recession donald trump promised the investment argentina so desperately needs we've known each other we don't want to talk about lots of good things for argentina to the united states including trade including military searches other things but we have a lot of. the focus is. finding consensus on issues like climate ch

there could be a conspiracy to defraud the united states that involves the russians. we already know there's an indictment against several russian operatives. we could have some additional campaign financial violations, problems if there was a quid pro quo. look, across the legal landscape of the united states, this notion of getting goodies for favors is something that the emoluments clause doesn't like, the securities clause doesn't like it, the foreign practices act doesn't like it. when presidential candidates announce they're going to run, they have to disclose information. so there's lots of places in the law where this is problem and of course the politics are problematic and all of it bears on impeachment problem. >> the other question i want to go to you before we brought it out on the law is when you list that off, that's a target rich environment of basically federal crimes you're talking about. do you views those as in directly in the collusion investigation mueller was assigned or basically arising outlet of collusion. >> well, to your point the referral

foreign policy since the vietnam war we would like the president of the united states to act a little bit more mature adults if i was going to boil it down to just one statement it would be that we think it's asinine that he's on twitter we think it's asinine that he's casual and that he. picks fights seems to want to take the smallest and lowest road instead of the high is this mass yoga session was organized to help leaders concentrate on we solving their differences. the protest around when a site is will remind them how hard that task is likely to be. other g. twenty is made up of nineteen countries the european union is also a member collectively g twenty members account for eighty five percent of global economic output two thirds of the world's population and seventy five percent of international trade. joining me now from sydney is tim harcourt economist and author thanks very much for being with us so let me ask you first of all how much importance do you attach to the g twenty is an organization is it is it still an important forum for exchanging views or has it kind of lost

was basically insolvent in the crisis in the united states bailed them out. they did yes they did the federal reserve is expected to raise interest rates next month do you agree did they should the president dissolve langridge j.p.l. the federal reserve chairman what do you make of that whole imbroglio. from a traditionalist standpoint the president shouldn't be involving himself in the day to day machinations of federal reserve policy i'll be very surprised if the federal reserve does not raise rates in december something would really really have to happen in a very on toward way for that to change the better question now going forward is going to be you know is the economy. downshifting sufficiently to change or lower lower the trajectory of projected rate increases next year you know i think you and i discussed this last year lowry you know i think the central bank was way too slow. both in terms of when they started to raise rates and the pace of this and i think you're seeing sort of the consequences of this sort of very very gradualist approach right no

states there will be a meeting between chinese president xi jinping on saturday evening together with donald trump the u.s. president and they might just give themselves a break in that trade war that has been going on for the better part of this year at least that's what we're hearing that the signs are increasing they might find a way forward find a solution but with the american president at the moment you can never be sure. of the first g. twenty summit back in two thousand and eight it was forged in a financial crisis we know the dissolution was found in the economic story today dramatically different but some would say it's just as dangerous i'm not sure i can hear you can you hear me right now i can hear you now can you hear me javier. ok i guess you can't let me ask my producer are we going to stay with them or should we go back to bill and. we'll see if we can fix the sound problems there melinda let's just talk about these summits the g. seven the g. twenty they're referred to many times as these expensive talking shops that you would we're talking about earlier today but at

states, to alaska, russia, japan, and then into indonesia. this is where most earthquakes are centered. it is not as surprisinat we thehe 7.0 right in rajini: you talk about this pacific ring of fire. many people in california wonder how safe they are because there is a lot of fear tt california could get a big earthquake anytime soon. michio: apparently it is overdue. san francisco and e california earthquake we think are overdue. we say this because we can actually calculate the frequency at which the san andreas fault shifts. we are good enough now to understand thesheology of the ting of the san andreas fault, and we can calculate when earthquakes took place centuries ago. we know that we are in some sense overdue for another big one, a lot like what happened in 1906 in california, and of course we had one in los angeles well. thateans we have to be prepared, we have to make sure that building codes are up to speed, ande have to make sure that people know where to evacuate and what to do in the middle of a major earthquake. rajini: profes

[ speaking spanish ] >> reporter: the story is that much better because he is that much of a character. after about 20 minutes, dwr clarks -- dr. clarkson who actually ran for new mexico secretary of state got their license and they got married and they had a good laugh. you can read and share this story by searching new mexico in our nbc washington app. they even told him his english was really good. >> they were messing with the wrong man there. >>> w

states. first of hi larry how are you. i would i would not expect an awful lot in terms of an agreement at this meeting the question i think is going to be whether they come away expressing a willingness to conduct negotiations to try and reach a compromise over the next number of months and if that sort of understanding is reached whether or the president will be willing to delay or or moderate some of his threats to impose more say more more tariffs or higher tariffs on what is already existing is saying a negotiation to negotiate i think that's pretty much the best you're going to expect i don't think the president and i would states and the president of china are going to sit and get into detail negotiations at this go around they may they may. agree to a nice framework and you know target that some of the issues that the trump administration feels are essential but i don't think anything's going to come away with any sort of solid agreement at this time from comes out of a lot of the mee

that's the way the public has presented their ire about the president of the united states. the thing is, is there some other way for the public to present their ire when we find out more and more that the president was connected to russia? while the house will be controlled by the democrats, there will be a lot of talk of impeachment. i get that. there is a political issue with impeaching that nancy pelosi is even trying to walk the line with right now. >> but i would argue there is a time limit. at some point if mueller doesn't issue a report to me before easter, then i don't think impeachment is on the table anymore. by the fourth of july, we're too close to 2020. at what point are we too close to 2020 where this is in the hands of the voters rather than congress? >> it feels as though 2019 is the right time to release that report. that way congress can do its job, continue oversight based on the report, and reach a result before we have another president. >> and i would argue that's fair to the republican candidate, give them time to do that. >> but there are issues of f

states and mexico at that ceremony, justin true dough refused to hold up his version of the document when the other leaders held it up they encouraged him to do it he left it there very pointed there and justin trudeau not calling it the usmca, the term that the president prefers for that document, instead it the new version of the north american free trade agreement justin trudeau not entirely on the same page as the other leaders as the day went on but ultimately all eyes on tomorrow here in buenos aires and that's when we get the big dinner between xi jinping and president trump. no indication there is an enormous deal and hammered out instead sort sf a lowering of expectations at this point people saying, what we might get get is positive rhetoric and signal maybe agreement to continue to talk that might be the bar for which people are headed here for that dinner tomorrow night. but we keep you posted on what we hear. >> is there any indication eamon as to scheduled events, a photo-op between the two, photo-op maybe post dinner, any post dinner press conference >> yes, we haven't

he's got to get back to the united states. and there was a pause because he started to say i absolutely -- here's the exact quote. i would be very surprised if the dinner wasn't a success. i believe it will end with a very positive -- and we're waiting -- and he said feeling. listen, as we parse every single word and every single moment and every single car that's coming into right now, live, in buenos aires, people looked at that and i immediately thought well does that mean that we're just going to get sort of a freeze or an agreement for a framework of discussion in the future between the two nations? either way, all you have to do is look at the markets. they did take off. certainly in europe and then later when president trump was more positive, but if you talk about the morning session of what happened between canada, mexico and of course america, i wouldn't say it was a massive gala ceremony. in fact we did hear from justin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, and he seemed the most reserved about the deal. here's why

what the mayor is asking for is help from the united states financially. $125,000 a day is a lot. you have a possible health crisis with the unsanitary continues and tb. this is a problem that tijuana can't handle on its own. that's the most important thing. >> thanks for that. >> a top ally with tough words for democrats getting excited for 2020. see it next on "the five." i'm at this wing joint telling people that geico has been offering savings for over 75 years. that's longer than the buffalo wing's been around. dozen wings. and did you know that geico...

first thing we need to do is protect the citizens of the united states of america-f you look at the drugs that are being smuggled. nd why it is important from a. i have seen 8282,000 pounds of drugs. that is fentanyl to kill everyone in north america. we have to have two parts of this. you have to have the border security and it has to be spot on. and we got close. 195 votes on a piece of legislation that it bring all the committee chairs and all the caucus chairs. i'll catch up with you afterwards and where we need to go but we need to make sure our borders are secure not in a strong-arm way. we have taken in one million people per year. let's make sure. > messaging is a critical way. we are a compassion nature nation but also a nation of laws. we cannot be the former. the only way we are the great compassion nature people is because we are strong thuff to do it and not just our security and prosperity. so if we don't have sovereignty or strong borders or have a country then none of this is possible. >> coming to you. >> dan crocker with the american foreign service association and forei

states case with the pentagon papers so he has a right under basic press freedoms to go and find out and he can even look at them and he can report on them you add to this the context of the twenty sixteen election and of course he made his political biases known to the public he says i'm pro trump and of course i'm interested in this and see if i can help the trunk and paint drum corps he's been more honest and transparent and put his biases on the table more than the investigation which looks like a kangaroo court to anybody who's on isstd but you have to get everything to weigh in on that because i mean there are there's a long history of the espionage act being used but it wasn't really journalism and even even the pentagon papers they never voted there this is the precedent that's being said here is that a publisher can be made to face charges under espionage as a traitor to his kind country he's aiding and abetting an enemy whatever though there's no enemy has been a den of fide in this in this case here so i mean this is the criminalization of journalism ice as i said in my in

states with to the united nations, ambassador cohen. under the current circumstances, when everyone regards human rights as such a sensitive issue, i think that's a very good sign moving ahead. that's a very good sign that human rights continued to be on our radar screen, usa, and that's a good sign that we will continue to play a, hopefully, positive role at the u.n. and beyond. >> yeah, good. well -- did you want to -- >> maybe just two fingers. so, one, i would agree with you that maybe compared to other negotiations with north korea, this is really top-down. usually in these sets of negotiations or any types of negotiations, bureaucrats for weeks, sometimes months hammer out the really nitty-gritty details, and finally when the summit leaders meet, it's essentially sign on the bottom, maybe hash out some of the more difficult issues. but in this case, it's all been mostly top-down which means two things. it means, one, you know, i kudos to president trump for getting us this far because we've never been able to get this far because

the wings of the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. just as they would a simple so they want to become the entry level of the last to become just about but many of them look for refuge in the so closely. tree sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. person as bank. listen to morrow and then head up next time i get on a lot of class and i want to. watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house. the who can beat up to the. struggles of many couples. the push including those. of you up of up to the bulk of the. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle the fate of julian assange is on clear washington is determined that he be sent to the u.s. to face criminal charges most likely under the one nine hundred seventy espionage act the british government is more than happy to make this happen even the ecuadorians are in on the out what we are watching unfold in front of our eyes is the criminalization of journalis

she's a senior adviser to the president of the united states. not just the daughter of the president. and that's what's so amazing about the michael cohen bombshell is that it brought us closer to donald trump. and his family. and there's the question and may give us the answer of what did he know and when did he know it? and know and when did he know it? all the family has been pulled into those two questions now. >> go ahead. >> this always jumps me ahead to where we all think it's going to go and it's the coffee clatcth sort of story we always have. it's much more likely that don jr. or ivanka could get into trouble for lying rather than the president. will he make deals on behalf of his children or is trump really about himself? that's what we'll find out fairly soon. >> frank, we have other people in trump's circle to look to. when mike flynn's son was ensnared, mike flynn made a deal. jared kushner is a famous father that was entangled with the law. and it's amazing that there are so many families for whom two generations are ensnared in t

so there's requests pouring in from natural disasters from all over the united states. with this one, what do you see in funding and immediate ability to respond? >> that was a question that we've asked of the fema administrator. whether or not there were additional needs to include more in the supplemental that we are currently working on to respond to the hurricanes. in reality, we have not seen the hard numbers coming out of the california fires. the administrator has assured us that they have sufficient funding in the disaster relief fund now to ensure we have got whatever assets need to come to us now. it's certainly my anticipation though that in the new year as we're addressing not only the california fires but that an additional request for disaster relief for this earthquake will be included as part of that request. we don't know how much. >> as for the immediate money, the governor did make a declaration. they're working on that as we speak. they're going to get that to the white house. i talked to general kelly. he said once it gets to the white house, the pr

this is something clearly a bit of tension with the united states as well, in terms of united states natural its in the region. so i think that is clearly the biggest issue. as well as you know the situation russia with difficulty of the ukraine. melissa: so russell, that is really interesting because you say people in argentina are bristling at the same problems of dealing with china. do they feel hopeful that the president is making an advance on america's behalf and do argentinians or the government feel like they can piggyback on any of those advances? >> well, president macri and president trump have a very strong relationship. president trump made it very clear he understands the impact of chinese influence in latin america. that is obviously a critical point in terms of security interests for the united states. investments, having a stable government. argentina is very pro-business, as well as all of south america, except for venezuela. melissa: interesting. >> president trump i think is doing everything possible to support the existing argentine government, continuing those p

these united states. for real. dr. gavin coorkson and his to be pride went to get a marriage license, but when he handed over his new mexico i.d., the clerk told him they didn't accept international driver's licenses and he would need to show a new mexico pass ports. so he says the clerk even went as far as comp pmenting his english. >> we said no, it is the vacant lot between texas and arizona. no, we don't -- you know, we became a state 106 years ago. >> after about 20 minutes, dr. clarkson w actually ran for new mexico secretary of ate says tlerk sincerely apologized and the couple got their license and they got married d d they got a g laugh out of it too. this story is blowing up our facebook page. you can read more by searching new mexico in our nbc washington app. they are delightful. of course they got a good laugh out of it. they told me that tapsns apparently all the time to people from new mexico, that it is not unheard of. >> and here is what we should did. we should all pitch in and manufactu

he put up that video and wrote, that feeling when you own the president of the united states and can do whatever you want. that's what he wrote. >> listen, that's harsh, but it's just hard to watch. because it's my view, i have a lot of problems with how president trump acts. but when he goes abroad to a conference like that, he is our president. i don't want to see our president take a back seat to thugs, back-slapping each other and watching our leaders flail and let it happen. that is the whole point of going to summits like this. and if he can't express american interests on that stage -- there's a lot of problems and we take a lot of stuff here. but those are our family. those are domestic problems. he needs to tell those people to stop and get in line. >> and when shinzo abe, the japanese prime minister, met with president trump, he said, quote, i would like to congratulate you on your historic victory in the midterm elections in the united states. obviously, whether or not president trump had any sort of historic victory in the midterm elections, where he lost the house of rep

influx of migrants trying to reach the united states regions and stretches the city's. good to have you with us world leaders have opened at the g twenty summit as we've just seen president putin of russia. of saudi arabia well they said a jovial told but there's a host of thorny issues to tackle in the two days of talks among them the ongoing trade dispute between the united states and china other topics including the killing of salty journalists. in turkey and heightened tensions between ukraine and russia a potential mediator in that conflict. is arriving late for the summit following a plane. let's bring in our correspondent. good evening to you max what can we expect from this. well the very least you would usually expect from a summit like this is a declaration a so-called communique at the end of the g. twenty. leaders commit to multilateralism where they commit to cooperation in the question of migration for example but all those things are in danger this time because if you look at the participants at the different leaders not all of them really stand for these

it's not the most catchy acronym but the usmca, or the united states mexico canada agreement, shows that donald the disruptor. .. this has been a battle. ..can also be donald the builder. the usmca is the largest, most significant, modern and balanced trade agreement in history. all of our countries will benefit greatly. it is probably the largest trade deal ever made also. but his protectionist "america first" instincts are causing deep unease, and though they were all smiles, listen to the words of the canadian prime minister... make no mistake, we will stand up for our workers and fight for their families and their communities. and, donald, it's allthe more reason why we need to keep working to remove the tariffs on steel and aluminium between our countries. the key meeting of this 620 will take place tomorrow evening, when most of the other world leaders are already on their way home. with donald trump threatening further tariffs against the chinese, meeting with president xi is absolutely critical. it's no exaggeration that the future direction of the global economy could be decided

will it be bipartisan when it comes to the united states senate? and that's up to them to decide. mr. sarbanes: h.r. 1 is not being built for mitch mcconnell. it's being build as the speaker-designate said and the congressman just said, it is being built for the american people. this class has told us that this is what the people want to see. we are building that package for them. but folks from across the political spectrum are demanding it. not just democrats, but independents and republicans. if you put that forward, you create political pressure that says every member of congress regardless of which side of the aisle, you need to step up and support restoring our democracy. there can be some very productive results for this and potentially bipartisan results. that's what you get with a owerful strong statement right out of the gate. that is the strategy of making this h.r. 1 and setting the table on this conversation. >> i would like to add, the representative of pennsylvania's 15th, but as of january 1, it will be pennsylvania 7th, the greater lehigh valley area and it's an a

states it essentially is still a free trade agreement between canada mexico and the united states maybe that is a sort of relief for people participating at the g twenty summit as it is a multilateral agreement and a commitment to free trade by those three countries but you have to put things in perspective and take a look at all the damage that the uncertainty during these years has actually caused when donald trump was essentially suggesting that it would end nafta at all and have no free trade agreement with its two neighboring countries companies stopped investing companies could not plan companies fired people and that was definitely more damage perhaps than the good that this new deal brings in. our dog here think you will trump has one trade deal done there's an even larger one looming with china here's the president talking about his upcoming talks with she. will be meeting with president xi a little while but for the most part to morrow i would say with the upbeat maybe by the meantime people are working our staff is working. with the state will work you are working very hard w

states which commits the united states to. ongoing. risk that they're creating this willingly pushing the coalition corps good at it powers the new challenges and dangers the strategy says are russia and china and so it's a national defense strategy so even if it is pushing rushing into chinese arms well you know there's a view in the united states that russia has no allies. i think the u.s. the russia china alliance will grow even stronger as a result so yes you have i'm no fan of trump by any measure the nation is one of his leading critics but he is a hostage in some ways of these larger forces around him whether it's not as sore pompei o or bolton but it's also he's a figure an accidental figure in some way who knew he would be elected president he came into the white house he had no team he has no discipline he has his twitter feed which allows him to speak to some fifty million americans without media interference but he lurches from here to here so it's a dangerous moment but. i think we have to find stabilizing mechani

the united states, mexico, and canada have cap the year of intense negotiations by signing a new trade deal to replace that the. an agreement push by -- replac e nafta. are a need of immediate protections -- provisions. a federal judge is hearing from challenge of a subpoena from the house judiciary committee. the panel wants to talk to him about decisions made by the fbi in 2016 including a call not to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton for her use of a private enough server -- private email server and possible coordination between russia and the trump campaign. comey said he would appear in a public hearing but wants to block a subpoena that would require him to appear in a private closed door interview. house democrats unveiled more forils of their first bill the new congress, a government package that would limits big money in politics and make it easier for citizens to vote, and require presidents to do close the tax returns. a congressman of maryland is the primary sponsor of the legislation called hr one. >> this class has told us this is what the people want to

. >> i know that you'll hear vigorous debate about what the united states should be doing in the middle east to address the many challenges and i would like to start you off with a look at what the united states is doing in the region with a focus on some of the issues in which i spend some of my time. governments across the region face tough decisions. my job is to help our leaders use the full range of american power and influence to encourage regional leaders to make choices that advance our shared objectives and consistent with the president's foreign policy a agenda, we are promoting u.s. leadership through balanced engagement throughout the middle east. we are working actively with our partners to counter the threat of terrorist groups and states that sponsor terrorism. as the president has made clear we cannot and should not bear the sole responsibility for stabilizing and securing the region. we continue to urge our partners to do their part to promote regional stability and the challenge lies to responding to breaking conflicts while addressing the long-term trends shaping the
