it's united states' law operating on the united states' official who is acting inside the united states. this case as far as the conduct is concerned, united states written all over it. nothing about mexico. the border patrol doesn't take these orders from mexico. >> i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute mr. mesa criminal neal if they -- criminally if they chose to do so. >> why? they wouldn't get any damages for the death of their 15-year-old son, for their emotional suffering. but i think i have to follow up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question. i don't think you or the u.s. government are suggesting that anyone is condoning people standing at the border and taking pop shots at passing mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> and yes, there is a criminal remedy for the government to vindicate its position. but why should there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with the constitution? either under the fourth or fifth amendment, wouldn't shooting pop shots at mexican citizens be shocking to the conscious? >> it is shocki

states, they can't conduct a church attack in the united states. we have a right to know who is coming in. i think higher screening and vetting is absolutely appropriate. and the case of san bernardino cries out for that, and we have the pakistani that came in, social media was not examined, and when we have a security bill coming out of our committee to help on the front end investigate before they come into the united states, whether they investigate a terrorist attack after it happens in the united states. >> you know, chairman, an awful lot of time -- and consider the press, and it is usually, you know, bits and pieces of facts. but the number of individuals that pvp, custom and border protection stop as an example at our ports of entry, i think 325,000 roughly people coming to the united states every day by air. 325,000. the vast majority of them are coming here for legal purposes, but some aren't. these folks that are actually pretty good at ferreting out individuals -- first of all, if an individual is a foreigner and is in the database, mor

and to give their country economic edge over the united states. that will not happen while i am president, i'm sorry. [applause] my job as president is to do everything within my power to give america a level playing field and to create the economic, regulatory, and tax structures that make america the most prosperous and productive country on earth. and with the highest standard of living and the highest standard of environmental protection. our tax bill is moving along in congress, and i believe it's doing very well. i think a lot of people will be very pleasantly surprised. the republicans are working very, very hard. we'd love to have support from the democrats, but we may have to go it alone. but it's going very well. the paris agreement handicaps the united states economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists that have long sought to gain wealth at our country's expense. they don't put america first. i do. and i always will. the same nations asking us to stay in the agreement are the countries that have c

and exiting the agreement protects the united states from future intrusions on the united states sovereignty. and massive future legal liability. believe me, we have massive legal liability if we stay in. as president, i have one obligation, and that obligation is to the american people. the paris accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. it is time to exit the paris accord. \[applause] and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens, and our country. it is time to put youngstown, ohio, detroit, michigan, and pittsburgh, pennsylvania along with many, many other locations within our great country before paris, france. it is time to make america great again. \[applause] president trump: thank you. thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. very important. i'd like to ask scott pruitt whom most of you know and respect as i do just to say a few words. scott, please? \[applause] >> thank you, mr. pre

here in the united states. the point s. that's where the fight starts with our partners. the incredible tonnages of drugs that they take off the flow every year makes us look like we're not doing anything here in the united states. and the number of -- soldiers who were killed, police who were killed, journalist who is were killed, their attorneys general who were killed. prosecuting attorneys. the point is it starts down there. as we move closer to the border, the collaboration between the united states and mexico is paramount and is very close. but physical barriers work. they work where they already exist on the southwest border. to increase the physical barriers and increase their fix -- their sophistication will add to the security. in those place that is we don't build out to, who knows where they'll be. we can fill in the gaps as we do now with technology and people, but physical barriers do work. so we're in the process, i think the chairman knows, of kwlab brown-waiting with a number of contractors --

it was a precursor if we are looking at from the united states one of you on how the united states itself went to war within six days and created the first and only ministry of information the united states has ever had, the committee on public information. rob: before we get to monique, i have to make a comment that there has been a lot of new scholarship around the zimmerman telegram. one of my young scholars, who recently published a book on that, found that everything that was going on down in the mexican border, the u.s. intelligence services were convinced long before the zimmerman telegram that the germans had a hand in it. it played into some of the racial stereotypes of the era. they felt that the mexicans couldn't pull off a massacre on u.s. territory. that had to be coordinated by germans. the germans were already advising poncho villa, which we all know they weren't. if you think about how that propaganda played into the story that the intelligence services are pitching that nobody believed. it was kind of a collision of multiple elements where, at some point, they presented t

i respect the decision made by korea and the united states. however, the korean government's endeavors to observe the due process of law will prove to be beneficial also to the advancement of our alliance. on that note, i ask for your eep understanding and support. ladies and gentlemen, let me now share my thoughts on great alliance, the title of my speech today. the alliance between our two countries is already a great one. still, it can be made even greater. i found that spirit in the battle of the reservoir. the divisional commander smith, who led that heroic battle, called the evacuation operation an attack in a new direction, not a retreat. this is what defines the spirit of our alliance. ahead of us awaits a special undertaking. an undertaking that has remained unsolved for the last 20 years as a historic conundrum. it is none other than nuclear and missile programs of north korea. a threat that is already spreading beyond the boundaries of the korean peninsula toward the united states. even as we face the most imminent and dangerous men

states were on opposite front lines of a devastating -- vietnam and the united states were on opposite frontlines of the debt -- devastating war. p.m. xuan phuc: [speaking vietnamese] translator: i would like to take this opportunity to thank the pioneers of this partnership, the individuals who worked tirelessly for the closer bonds between our countries. we always treasure what these american friends have done. we are particularly grateful to president bill clinton, president george w. bush, president obama, the first senators john mccain, john kerry, hillary clinton, and to all friends near and far. p.m. xuan phuc: [speaking vietnamese] translator: and i can see here many familiar places, good friends of vietnam for many years. p.m. xuan phuc: [speaking vietnamese] translator: looking back at the history of our peoples in our relationship and the past 20 years of cooperation, i would like to say to you and president -- we have not only risen above the past and look toward embarked onbut also a journey together to shape a brighter future and right a new chapter for our relations, con

over which the united states is already handed over $1 billion. nobody else is even close in most of not even paid anything. including funds rated out of america's budget for the war against terrorism. that is where they came. believe me, they did not come from me. they came just before i came into office, not good. not good the way they took the money. in 2015 the united nations departing top climate officials reportedly described the $100 billion per year as peanuts. they stated that the $100 million is the tail that wags the dog. in 2015 the green climate fund executive director reportedly stated that estimated funding needed would increase to $450 billion per year after 2020, and nobody even knows where the money is going to. nobody has been able to say where it is going to. of course the world's top polluters have no affirmative obligations under the green fund . which we terminated. america is $20 trillion in debt. cash-strapped cities cannot hire enough police officers or fix the infrastructure. many of our citizens are out of work and yet

may i please know what the united states -- how the united states intends to approach this question? acts eighte specific intensity to prevent this unilateral change in status what are the specific to use to prevent this unilateral change in the status quo? thank you. [no audio] can always count on straightforward questions here, can yo't you? obviously, we have a new president in washington, d.c. we are all aware of that. there is going to be fresh approaches taken, but just the fact -- just take a look at the president's first trip to the outside of the united states. it was straight into the heart of one of the most bewildering and difficult challenges that the world faces in terms of how do we restore stability and peace, right? into the middle east, where the discussion was about how do we together? with the arab league and other international organizations in order to reduce the threat of terrorism? so i think that we have been engaged in the world for a long time. i think, historically, the americans have been reluctant to see themselves in that role. between oure happy two oc

the united states constitution does not confer citizenship on anyone outside the united states. it is for congress to determine which categories of such person should be granted u.s. citizenship by statute. in doing so congress has always required that the persons involved have a demonstrated in sufficient connection to the united states either in themselves or through their parents to warrant the control of citizenship because citizenship carries with it writes on the part of the individual and important duties of protection on part of the united states government. this concerns the framework under the nationality act of 1952 as originally enacted for granting citizenship for persons outside of the united states as of the date of their birth. other provisions still with things later in life. in particular, this case concerns the granting of citizenship to children born out of wedlock abroad. the situation in which this court's cases make clear that mothers and fathers are not typically situated with respect to their legal status concerning the child at the moment of birth. the

states -- per essentials of the united states -- perceptions of the united states. ely: the reason why that matters, there's a growing perception in asia that the future of the economic order will be china-led. it will be china's rules, china's institutions. multilateral or informal that will be convening the region and determining its course and the trans-pacific partnership was the best mechanism to provide an alternative to that. the reason it matters primarily in my view is not just because of the economics of the effects of the trade deal. in fact, i think there are questions about how pronounced that would be. but because the lack of u.s. leadership on this issue, the lack of the united states being the country that's convening and bringing together an alternative set of countries, starts cascading into other sets of issues. so if a country like -- let's say a country in southeast asia perceives that the united states is withdrawing economically, that their economic fortunes -- future will lie with china, and if they defy china over a variety of issues, they'l

what does the united states army do? the united states army has 60,000 soldiers in china. advisors, we try to keep as many of them as we could in because every american wants eighth and bacon for breakfast every morning. the chinese might get one a month for the family. live to tryg china to defeat of the americans so -- it wasem in india eating china alive to try to feed the americans. feeding -- at the same time we have to feed 60,000, we have 4 million japanese to be taken home. that areame ships going to take johnny back to san francisco are going to take kido back to tokyo. moms and dads want their son home now and they don't care what happens to the 4 million japanese. will write a nice article on this repatriation and the marines to a awful lot of the work. millionmove 400 japanese that. million are civilians who had been working in the interior. -- working in manchuria. and ting to be fed care of and we have to move 600,000 soldiers back to the east. the navy will be some of that by ship. but we flew a lot of them as well. then, something that not many people know

i lived in the united states long enough to have the skepticism. he had a domestic abuse allegation and legally purchased a semiautomatic weapon, not a revolver. you know, he's not necessarily a really good case where omar mateen in the orlando attack, the fbi interviewed him in 2014 and 2015 before the attack. they you believunderstood he wa radicalizing. why was it that he was able to go and legally purr chase pour semiautomatic weapons, which obviously enabled him to kill a lot of people quickly. to me, that makes no sense. i mean, on the other hand, we know that as you pointed out, the nra is a powerful force and congress seems very hand strung by this. >> so you don't see this changing, the conversation and reality of home grown terrorism, you don't see it changing the conversation about the gun culture in america? >> you know, if an attack on the house majority in which he's critically injured does not change the conversation is hard. i talk, you know, sandy hook, all these kinds of -- we had so many -- you also have president obama that his

united states of america. now, some of the things that were noted earlier point to that direction of what was happening. when i became mayor half of our kids had a full school day -- i mean half of our kids had a full day of kindergarten, half did not. if you looked at the math, the ones that were getting a full day could deserve to get a half day, and the ones getting a half day needed a full day. i did not think it should be determined by the fact that you had a parent lobbying on behalf of the child's kindergarten. every child in chicago today has a full day of kindergarten. we ran the first race to the top for our early childhood so parents can compare educational models of early childhood education, and we've dramatically also increased the funding, as i said, for full day pre-k from the city of chicago for all four year olds. the reason is we could see all of the data of full day pre-k, what it does for kind garter, and kindergarten what it does for first grade and onward. i have a fundamental view share

an honest look at saudi arabia today and the relationship with the united states. and may i add one other element on a personal basis? it is so rare on the floor of the united states senate to see what we have just seen this morning, a proposal for an amendment to be debated. an amendment to be voted on on the floor of the senate. i could count on one hand how many times that's happened this year in the united states senate. what used to be the most deliberative body in america, the great debating society and so forth has turned into a place of rubber stamps and unanimous consents. and i'm glad, win or lose, in our effort here on this amendment, that the senator is bringing this important issue to the floor. i thank him for making it a them call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. graham: thank you. i take the floor today to strenuously argue against the proposition being pushed by senator paul and murphy and others to deny arms sales of about $500 million to the kingdom of saudi arabia. the package that they're trying to exclude from the $110 billion ar

these dreamers came to the united states as children. they are american in every way, except for their legal immigration status. we have already invested a lot of money in these kids. we educated them, we have made them part of this country, and it makes no sense to squander their talents by deporting them at this moment in their lives. in april, 2010, i sent a letter to president obama. dick lugar, the republican senator from indiana, joined me. on a bipartisan basis, we said to president obama stop deporting these young kids. they did nothing wrong. their parents made the decision to come here, give them a chance. the president responded. it's now clear that the daca program he created by executive order has been a dramatic success. more than 780,000 dreamers have come forward and received daca protection and status. that has allowed them to contribute more fully to this country. as students, as teachers, as nurses, as engineers, as entrepreneurs. a recent study by the center for american progress finds that ending daca, saying to the

the united states also talking about the fact that the u.s. is prepared to do what's necessary to stop north korea from advancing its nuclear ambitions. that is very serious content that they're talking about today. and then on trade, that's an area that's certainly boosted president trump when he was a confidence. and the trade relationship with south korea, as you have both discussed and really informative detail is so critical. can they resolve that today? that is a big part of this meeting. president moon has been staying across the street at the blare house. he has had an opportunity to meet with congressional leaders. this is a full visit for president moon. he was the first leader to receive a white house dinner as a sign of respect. the president had entertained chinese president at mar a lar go but the first state dinner honoring a foreign leader went to president moon. those gestures say a great deal and that's something to consider in this. we will have the translation, of course, because president moon will be speaking in his own l

the united states was trying to isolate the united states and convince people that all of the talk about wanted to pursue peace was a centrifuge. during the 70's, i think one of the arguments i make in the book is that nixon, -- i think i come across as being surprisingly pro- ex-kissinger in this book. it was not my intention. i think that opening china was a very important moment that changed the world. i think what nixon understood was the importance of status to china in a way that his predecessors did not. when he reached out to china he really found ways that china could seek rapprochement with the united states while retaining their status. they are interesting -- the chinese would make these strong pro-afro-asian anti-imperialist statements in the united nations. kissinger would say yes, we realize you have to do that. you need to maintain your credibility in the third world. kissinger actually want china to maintain their credibility in the third world at this point. they think it could be useful against the soviet union. it is a complicated dynamic. they are always central to c

states fbi, the united states cia. you attack the men and women who keep our country safe, but you never ask why donald trump and all the president's men keep lying about russia. you can't blame this on fake news. you can't blame this on the cia. you can't blame this on the fbi. it's their words. they're the ones who are lying every day. at what point do you wake up and get out of your stupor and start asking, if you're so concerned about the paris accords and america's sovereignty, when do you start being concerned about the sovereignty of the united states when russia is now admitting they were trying to hack into our elections and your white house is lying about it every day. gene, the lies, just keep multiplying. they lied about this. >> it's amazing. if you lie again and again and again about the same subject, guess what? people are going to think something is going on. >> i always talk about bill clinton. bill clinton lied about everything. donald trump did, too. but it was a scattered shot. bill clinton would ha

and exiting the agreement protects the united states from future intrusions on the united states sovereignty and massive future legal liability. believe me, we have massive legal liability if we stay in. as president, i have one obligation. that obligation is to the american people. the paris accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. it's time to exit the paris accord. [applause] and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens and our country. it's time to put youngstown, ohio, detroit, michigan and pittsburgh, pennsylvania along with many, many other locations within our great country before paris, france. it's time to make america great again. thank you. [applause] thank you. thank you very much. [applause] thank you. thank you very much. [applause] very important. i'd like to ask scott pruitt, who most of you know and respect as i do just to say a few words. scott, please. [applause] >> thank you, mr. p

. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states and the president of the republic of korea. president trump: thank you very much. melania and i are honored to welcome president moon of south korea and his lovely wife, madam kim, to the white house. mr. president, let me be the first to congratulate you on your election. tremendous election victory. and also the people of south korea for providing such an incredible example of democracy for the world to see. it was very exciting. i must say. and congratulations. this morning president moon and vice president pence laid a wreath at the korean war veterans memorial to commemorate the 67th anniversary of the korean war. a beautiful ceremony. we will never forget that americans and koreans bravely fought and died together for a free korea. to the korean and american veterans of that war, great people, we are eternally grateful for your service and for your sacrifice. more than six decades after our partnership was forged in the fires of war, the alliance between the united states and south korea is a cornerstone of peace and sec

in fact, the cost to the united states is considerable. this agreement will be used as a pretext for litigation, to force the clean power plan to come into effect. it has meant higher electricity prices. there is a direct cash transfer in the agreement, $100 billion per year from the advanced countries do the developing world. the lion's share of that will come from the united states if we remain in the agreement. we will be paying higher energy prices, and paying more foreign aid abroad. two big losses foreign aid abroad. two big losses for the american people. but in terms ofjobs, as you know, most economists seem to believe that the job growth that comes from the renewable industry is actually equal to anyjob losses that there might be in the fossil fuel industry. thoughifs be in the fossil fuel industry. though it's not a job loser, being pa rt though it's not a job loser, being part of the paris accord. it's a big job loser on an economy work bases. it takes a lot more labour to produce energy from renewables than it does from fossil

a week pledge from the united states, full of loopholes. that was to accommodate the united states. the paris agreement was nonbinding. it was voluntary. the pledges would lead to a warming of at least three degrees. it is to be strengthened. that was under president obama's watch. to accommodate the united states, i think one of the powerful lessons of this is that long is a tradition in a history of american exceptionalism within climate action. and the rest of the world has to move faster and more ambitious, and leave the u.s. behind. the reaction you're seeing now has been strong and positive,e, both from governments, but also social organizations and civil society where people are committed and recognizing the real change will come not necessarily from donald trump, but from the grassroots within the united states. this is that for the people of the united states. the temperature increase of one degree warming around the world 's leading to killer floods and droughts all of the world. the arctic melting, coral being bleached. , nothas huge implications just on the poorest parts

united states to article 5. and certainly we are there to protect, and that's one of the reasons i want to make sure people know we have a strong force by paying the kind of money to have that force. yes, i would be absolutely committed to article 5. reporter: thank you, mr. president. was there any discussion about the visa waiver program for romania? will there be a time frame for including this country in this program? president trump: we didn't discuss it, but it would be something we will discuss, mr. president. president iohannis: i mentioned this issue and i also mentioned it during other meetings because this is important for us. it's important for romanians that want to come to the united states. you see, more and more people come, president trump, from romania to the united states. some come as tourists. some come for business. those who come for business should be encouraged. the matter of visa waiver would be probably important to discuss and we all hope that we will advance on this. president trump:

we're talking ability the president of the united states. trump went an spoke to nbc news where comey told him he wasn't under investigation. here is the president in that exchange. >> we had a very nice dinner. >> he asked -- >> our dinner was around. i think he asked for the dinner. he wanted to stay on asst head. i said we'll see what happens. we had a nice dinner. at that point he said it. >> did you call him? >> in one case i called him and in one case he called me. >> and did you ask him? >> i asked him, if it's possible, would you let me know am i under investigation? he stead you are not under investigation. >> congressman is the president lying? >> no, he's not lielg. the only one we point out that has lied or gotten his facts wrong were james kwoem when he said there were thousands of e-mails that huma an dean had that hk compromised. in fact, very quickly the white house had to walk that way back. >> exponentially off, you are right about that. >> we have to remember, when squle hear james clapper or mr. brennan or mr. comey, they

is climate change a threat to the united states in any way? >> look i mean what we know is that we have proceduresen a statutes in this country that require us to take steps to reduce air polluteants and we're going to continue that. this is about international agreements that put this country at a disadvantage and writing those agreements and making sure we put america's interests first thap that's continuing i appreciate the presence president's leadership sfl scott pruitt thank you so much for your time we appreciate it. back with the panel and, van, i feel like you might have a response. >> i just -- i mean the -- there is so much wrong -- so many wrong things. okay. simple stuff. simple stuff. he says he is so produced we reduced under the kerr clean air act by polluteants by 65% that's pennsylvania hued huge achievement pursued of it but carbon wasn't counted as a pollutant under the clean air act under the obama term but obama tries to move forward and they stop him they say it's terrible. you're either for the clear air act which means

do we have the problem here in the united states? >> we don't have it the same way as the uk, but it's obviously a challenge in modern society to maintain three societies, and freedom of speech but still recognize we have to be on guard against some the hateful venom spewed over the internet. >> why do you think we see the attacks in london but we haven't, knock on wood, seen it happen in the united states? >> i believe in many ways the muslim-american community is better integrated into our society. i think that's always been our secret sauce in america. you can come here first generation and if you accept our laws and rules, you become american. that's not always been the case in so many of the european countries. i think we're seeing, again, the benefits of that. that's why it troubles me so much to see the kind of type of tweets that the president has put out in the last 12 hours or so. >> prime minister may said she thinks that internet-based technology firms are giving extremism the safe space it needs. she wants new regulation

states syria and russian russia have never been this critical post cold war the united states shot down a syrian warplane and it's the first time a u.s. warplane directly engaged with syrian air forces since the beginning of the syrian civil war the downing of the syrian jet fighter has drawn strong reaction from russia manila chan joins us now for more details tonight manila. jets bombed an area near the isis so-called caliphate capital of raka the syrian government has confirmed its downing the pilot ejected from the jet but conflicting reports on whether or not he survived without any confirmation from syrian officials either way at this time and while this is the first time an instant of this nature has occurred this marks the fourth time in a month that the united states military has hit pro syrian government forces a couple of hours before the fatal strike the pentagon says it reached out to their russian counterparts on the d. confliction channel to have russia warned the syrians not to conduct any strikes even flying jets slow and low to the ground in a show of force that syrian

russia tried to mediate but leaning a little more towards the qatari side you have the united states and trump tweeting about how saudi arabia should be supported qatar is the enemy etc but giving twelve billion in money and weapons to them so you have a whole different dynamic now which is just really been a tectonic shift from what syria was to work with and these two countries are nominally american allies. well i think what we're seeing now is a breakdown or a very long tradition in the western media would have been hearing for i think about sixty years do more chrissy don't fight each other american allies don't fight each other so do futile countries you know the cold would use countries like . china where it all it's but they were bad well now we see how america now why saudi arabia and qatar are basically fighting each other and the problem is that the port spawns some very very unseemly groups the only difference is that qadar sponsors the so-called muslim brotherhood hamas is an offshoot brotherhood in palestine in egypt and brotherhood even came to power democratic a day a

states or iran in the united states it's a deal that has more parties to it but the u.s. can make it very difficult in iran and of course they keep passing. tighter and tighter sanctions against iran and that that just like in cuba these policies support the hardliners you know this this doubling down on cuba who does that benefit the people who said inside cuba you can never trust the united states don't try to deal with them what is the increase in sanctions and it taking an increasingly hard line on iran that supports the exact same hardliner group in iran that says we don't want to have dealings with the united states we should have never had that iranian nuclear deal because we can't trust them and besides some people think of course we're going to need a nuclear weapon because that's the only thing that's going to keep us from being invaded why hasn't the u.s. done anything to north korea because they have nuclear weapons right right so so donald trump's i mean america first has has put cuba first the hard liners the hard hard line right wingers and put americans ba

sevin returned to the united states via the bahamas where he told the united states agents he had just been in cuba. he told them the reasons for his travel. his initial fine was $7,500. do we really want to be fining people who are scattering the ashes of their parents? these aren't isolated incidents. this went on a lot. a woman from indiana was fined for distributing bibles in cuba because her itinerary didn't include a trip to the beach. she went to the beach, i'm told, to participate or to watch a baptism that was happening at that time. why in the world would we try to limit that kind of travel? yet, that's what we would be doing if we go back to restrictive travel. maybe these rumors are overblown. maybe we won't be imposing new restrictions on travel. but if we are, i hope the administration will consider these things. another thing, there is one rumor out there that we know that if we diminish american travel, therefore diminishing the amount of money that goes to these cuban entrepreneurs who are running bed and breakfasts and private restaurants, then we can make up for it s

part of that is not to be a burden on the united states. it has at the same time made them less desirous of gaining -- some of that is for the political benefit of having much likeitments, tom may 14 on, determined ensure that the u.s. understands what it will do and that is why he constantly gives -- while he is ready to continue to have even at as with us, time when he is under enormous pressure first from the military chiefs of staff and from the israeli public later on because this connection with the u.s. is so important. some ensure our function of trying to ensure there is a favorable political climate afterwards and that the u.s. will be there to help protect israel on the world stage against other kinds of pressure. of an irony on the one hand. you cannot trust external commitments and yet that is what you seek all the time. >> other remarks? >> that is an ironic aspect of it. i think one should reflect a little bit on the article in the aboutic in 2015 or 2016 obama's current foreign-policy -- obama's foreign policy and his skepti

there are people who work in places in the middle of the united states that do mining. he spoke specifically about opening mines. he really meant this a sovereignty issue. this wasn't an issue conservative republicans had brought up, they had resisted the negotiation of putting the united states in a position where it had accountability to other countries. that is how it was sold on that side of the aisle, that this agreement does not have a lot of enforcement, it was a nationally determined contribution, each individual country came up with them and was agreeing to abide by them and they can be changed. i want to note for you, you are talking about renegotiation, and there is a mechanism in the climate agreement to renegotiate. what he is leading himself in terms of options to change, to start all over or start a new agreement completely. basically the same thing, there is no renegotiating. >> the president basically said that right after he mentioned that the u.s. would leave, let's let's listen to what the president said a few moments ago. president trump: to begin r

clearly ajc leaves that the united states and its people -- believes that the united states and its people are a force for global people. ajc has never been an america first organization, nor should our country be. [applause] wendy.acson: thank you, mike durand, you have a next 30 seconds. mr. durand: thank you to all of you for coming. thank you to the ajc for inviting me. i completely agree with ambassador sherman, it is a great honor to be here embracing this controversial issue. i have a slightly different position. i think the historical starting point for understanding america first is not charles lindbergh. educator, i guarantee that nobody under 65 remembers charles lindbergh and america first. i better place historically to start it would be march 2016. i know that the phrase predated that, but but that was when bernie sanders defeated hillary clinton in the democratic riemer he. -- primary. for those of you have read "s hattered,m you know that the sanders victory completely blindsided hillary clinton. she walked around after the event saying that she was utterly mystified by the

we see a supreme court of the united states and a new justice of the supreme court of the united states who will keep fact with a god-given liberties enshrined in our constitution. you look at those, those are all promises made and promises kept by president donald trump. and the results speak for themselves. my hope is that as time goss on, some in the media will start to focus as much as the american people are on those good results. ainsley: what grade would you give the president thus far? >> you know what, i would give him an a-plus for effort. i would give him an a-plus for results. look, this is, i mean what's startling to some of the elites in this country and around the world about president donald trump, he is doing exactly what he said he would do. but to know him, is to know that president donald trump is a man of his word. literally he gets up every day and turns his face like flint against the wind and says, what are we going to do today to make america safe again? to make america prosperous again. to make america great again. it is the greatest honor of my life to be vice

it came to the united states. it put united states business, had to shut down. they had to cut down a lot of plants in the united states. that is what he is talking about. the chinese recognize it. so eventually it could suit both economies because you have president xi talking about the companies he wants to shut down. lossmaking companies and somewhere, someone was financing these companies while they were making losses. the coal companies were getting cheap finance from the regional governments, some were subsidizing losses, then the government said we have got to stop this. they shut the coal mines that are producing 30 days a week and days, two working days a year. he said he wants to keep it about 530 renminbi, that as a floor. that is a realistic coal price because if you go to the power station, it allows them to make money, stops the subsidized aluminum and china may not be competitive to sell formally to the western world. can reopenmerica their smelters and put people back to work. ceo of that was the glencore speaking to erik schatzker in st. petersb

to reach the united states with a nuclear weapon. so what do you do about it is this well the only country that actually has influence with north koreans is probably china. but the chinese have always been more fearful of the collapse of the regime of a nuclear regime. so they've refused to tighten the screws on north korean so he can do a lot and close border. they could deny them fuel, oil, and chinese could really hurt the regime. the chinese have to be convinced that they have to do now whatever it takes to stop regime and when you hear administration say, if you won't deal with north koreans, we will. that's the message that they're sending. mow, the we will is kind of ugly. because if you want to look at military options, you're looking at soul which is -- very vulnerable and very close to the military zone they could do the north koreans could do a lot of damage. a lot of civilian casualties very quickly in seoul. so the options are not very good. it is complicated by the new president in -- south korea who is a man of the lef

states one day -- going to become president of the united states one day. quite often, events would be held here such as when he announced he would run for vice president of the united states. the big announcement was held rate here. quite often he would bring, once he was president, main foreign dignitaries to his house. especially during the war years, he felt it was a way they could get away from the pressures of wartime in your -- in europe. many times, his political associates would come here, and they would talk about medical strategy and so forth. it was at many times the center of his strategy for political life. i would like to show you the beautiful library living room which fdr called the heart of the house. this was set up so that there was a glass lore here, so people could see the actual ramp that fdr used to go down into the library living room. this was the original ramp he would use every time he was here to get into one of his favorite rooms in the house. the library living room was one he had during the about adding on to the home when he

that's a bit rich and we still have the president the united states signing off on a huge thing twelve billion dollars arms deal what is going on here and it's most importantly we have to get but the united states has one of its most important military bases in the world in qatar eleven thousand troops by qatar twenty four and funded by qatar so i mean this whole situation with qatar and saudi arabia has really changed the game from what the alliances were drawn during syria so during syria you had a whole set of alliances between assad russia iran against saudi arabia qatar turkey etc and now with this recent spat with this with this conflict between saudi arabia qatar everything has turned upside down if you don't have turkey and iran siding with qatar you have russia trying to mediate but leaning a little more towards the qatari side you have the united states and trump tweeting about how saudi arabia should be supported qatar is the enemy and cetera but giving twelve billion in money and weapons to them so you have a whole different dynamic now which is just really been a tectonic

trump almost giddy as he made it clear the united states will go its own way. >> the united states will withdraw, so we're getting out, we're out of the agreement. our withdrawal from the agreement. exiting the agreement protects the united states. it is time to fit paris accord. >> he couldn't say it enough. trump insists that the deal would cost america quote billions and billions of dollars, that's what he said today, billions and blgs of dollars, along with massive job losses and factory closings, trump said. but the man and the president has found himself with virtually zero allies on this. right that announcement, they slammed him. the chairman of general electric obviously, massive manufacturer tweeted he was disappointed in the president adding that "industry must now lead and not depend on government." general motors said "we will not aterritory from our commitment to the environment." the ceo of goldman sachs tweeting today is a setback for the u.s. in the world. and elon musk, a leading voice for clean energy who had sort of stuck by the president amidst a lot of criticism to
