from the united states to latin american countries. this report clearly placed u.s. military assistance to latin america in a cold war context. because what was being foreseen was the possibility of war breaking out between the united states and soviet union, and then there is disorder in latin america, united states has to become involved in order to protect the materials that it is getting from latin america, the strategic materials, and also the mid to late -- military facilities. nsc 562 advised that it is important that every ever be made to develop an effective inter-american military collaboration in time of peace to ensure collective hemispheric defense immediately upon the outbreak of war. i'm going to skip this one so we can get to the legacy. very quickly. i want to hazard, and it is a personal hazarding, of a description of the legacy that president truman left behind with respect to u.s. policies toward latin america. first of all, from explicitly affirmed the legacy which he had received when he became president. non-inte

states need to reevaluate the achievements of the united states and the failures of the united states in our region. >> rose: but does iran -- >> and based on that reassessment, it will see. the role and the place of various countries in the region. we're not competing with saudi arabia. we believe that iran and saudi arabia should be a part of a regional dialogue forum. i wrote an op ed in the "new york times" several years ago. >> rose: i remember. >> calling for a regional dialogue forum and i believe that is what's lacking in our region. we are ready for it. i believe as soon as our saudi neighbors are ready to engage in dialogue, in resolving issues through dialogue. not through pressure because unfortunately this has become a habit of the united states to impose pressure or to impose direct pressure. >> rose: does this include israel. >> i'm modest, i'm talking about our immediate neighbor and that is the persian gulf. in recent years from the iraqi invasion of iran to the iraqi invasion of kuwait to u.s. operations to liberate kuwait from iraq, to liberate operations from iraq.

on the united states. domestic,y useful for political reasons to say, we can counterbalance the americans with first the soviets then now the russians. i think then and now are quite different. chinak both russia and have far more at stake in their relationship with the united states than they do with one another. the area in which i see them having the greatest congruence of issues is in the united in the security council, where both of them have a statutory seat and their desire to have issues in the united nations. i don't think there is a lot for americans to worry about in terms of alignment in which we are the odd man out. david? thanks to me add my jonathan for inviting us here this evening and to mr. nixon for being here and all of you for coming to the panel. point pick up exactly the that tom finished. use of the u.s. shouldn't be too worried if russia and china had good relations. i think the first point to make is russia and china probably have better relations now than at any point since 1972,

united states only six times while he was president. three of these trips, and the only two-state visits truman made during his presidency, were to latin america. the first in early march, 1947, to mexico. the second in september the same year, was to brazil. cubahird trip, he went to very briefly, and only two to guantanamo bay. he also went to the virgin islands. the most important visit was to puerto rico. we will talk about that one. let's see what these visits tell us about the themes of the legacy that president truman was to leave. the first was to mexico city. .ruman kept a diary in 1947, he wrote quite a few entries about his visit to mexico. visit throughthe his diary. we will try to do so. his plane is landing. he writes, "perfect day, my pilot never misses a schedule. step down from the plane, the mexican president comes down the steps from the observation tower at the same time. we meet, i like him at once. he introduces his cabinet, i introduce my secretaries and aides. the platform is beautifully decorated and flowers. th

during the war, the united states had implied that once the war was over, the united states would support economic diversification and economic growth in latin america through economic aid. in particular, an economic conference was promised. there would be a little conference, the oas, a military conference, the rio treaty, but an economic conference that would form an inter-american economic alliance. at that conference, latin americans hope to discuss commodity price stabilization, economic diversification, controls of foreign investment and a substantial economic aid. indeed, to put words in the mouth, what they were thinking about was a marshall plan for latin america. but the truman administration postponed the conference. every year, there was a different excuse or what they could not have it. the united states had new challenges. the soviet union's domination of eastern europe. the greek civil war. the stagnation of western european economies and the collapse of chinese national ist forces. by comparison, the assessment of latin america was that let -- latin america was largely imm

states and the united states allies. china is the largest trading partner of those countries in the world. --t point is often most of that trade is in the form of intermediate -- they go --china way do dependencies go? 25 percent of exports come to the united states. go to thena's exports united states, japan, and south korea. 80% of exports go to those three countries, plus the european union. exports go to china. that is a very disproportionate kind of inner -- interdependence. as for russia, they cannot do that woulde another really accelerate come sustain -- accelerate and sustain. they both need relationships available in the west. they both seek to gain some opportunities and advantages by becoming closer friends with one another? of course they do. we do not have to forfeit that. with the hard numbers. look at -- look at the hard numbers. 24% is down a whopping 2% since 1979 when china began its fabulous rise. we dropped 2%. is aboutorld economy 17%. that is almost exactly the same as china's share of world popula

they do not have to lose jobs to the united states. not parters -- this is of nafta, but is hanging over it, the question about building a wall between the united states and mexico. that is a huge issue between the united states and mexico. there are potential elections in mexico next year. you can expect that to become a big part of discussions, this free flow of people over the border. there are certain conditions in nafta that they allow professionals to come over with visas, but i do not know how much they are going to talk about immigration at this point. host: from alaska, independent caller. caller: good morning. the fellow asked about people driving in from mexico and canada into the united states. i spoke to you on the phone about six to eight months ago. you guys told me they had to drop their loads, and the loads were picked up by american drivers. i had mentioned that d.o.t. has regulations for a logbook and everything. so at that point, it was a nonissue. regardless of what the regulations are in mexico, they have to drop

well the united states have to go back to why the united states wants to be in asia at all ok why does the united states intervene ten thousand miles from a chore and to answer that question you have to go back to the open door policy sounds boring but the bedrock foreign policy of the united states is the open door policy and when china closed the door after world war two initially the united states wanted to set up a client regime in china but that failed the communists took over and closed the open door and so the united states decided that career would be its first bastin against the encroachment of china and the closing of asia to american economic penetration ok but i mean let's talk about this the in this new killer thread i mean why don't they want to talk about that that's very important and that's pressing right now can you answer that boris go ahead home well you know the the real the real threat for the united states from the beginning was always china and you know we talk about one hundred sixty thousand troops stationed across the. western pacific but there are also nucle

we serve in the united states army, united states navy, etc. in that regard, it is a widely diverse force. we look at our coins, out of one., we're one team and that's the way we stay. thank you chlt >> question from the japanese media. >> i have a question to secretary mattis and a question for minister onodera on military defense. north korea has planned to launch a ballistic missile and seeing tensions mounting. in the two plus two joint statement, it is incorporated that japan's role would be [indiscernible] in the alliance. what specific actions would the u.s. take? and for japan, what would japan's role be in missile-defense? and what would the u.s. expect japan to do in the case of the launch of a missile? sec. mattis: we would take military action to take it down. minister onodera: simply, in the event there is an attack on japan, we will use the assets available to us for the missile defense and we will defend japan. but should different circumstances occur, we will solidify the relationship we have with the u.s. with close communicati

unraveled two days later that was backed by the united states funded by the united states and then subsequently you know the u.s. has only increased its channeling of funds from agencies like usaid national noun for democracy amongst others you know cia special missions all kinds of things to try to undermine the venezuelan government first under chavez now and now we're seeing at they're not even trying to cover it up they're just doing it openly expressing you know the fact that either mature or decide to leave or they're going to take them out so i mean it's it's completely outrageous violation of venice our sovereignty and i mean it goes against all the promises that trump made during his campaign of being less interventionist now we're seeing the direct intervention aggression and pure violation not just of venezuela's sovereignty but of international law you can't just say you're going to go in and take out a president who was democratically elected by his people. tell you no authorities have seized the boat that belongs to a german group rescuing migrants whose footage released by italy'

russia and the united states and here it is the united states that has walked out of it for some unknown reasons they have to come back and explain the situation in afghanistan turn a wristwatch when truong i don't want to get us on to become an area of competition and rivalry well i want afghanistan to become a place of cooperation i appreciate very much your aspirations but you know again better than i do that competition is a ruling the day in international side only yes it shouldn't be bad though why would the afghanistan of all the other war torn countries be an exception it should be an exception because if they don't call parades afghans will rise against those who have the key to the students in afghanistan today it is the united states they just bombed us with the biggest of the bomb that they had short of a nuclear bomb a country that they call allies and would one expect me to give quite. well at least they would say that they they have the green light from the from your successor as afghanistan's wrong and wrong no they didn't even from the off going to go well at least this

the united states cannot afford to wait any longer. this new assessment is alarming but it's not surprising because north korea has been on the path of trying to be able to fit a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile capable of reaching the united states for some time. and with more time north korea is going to refine those capabilities further. so there's a lot of urgency now to stop north korea before it can deploy a reliable icbm that's capable of targeting the united states. >> so are you saying they should accept the fact that they're going to have this technology, they're going to have this capability, go to the table and try and find a way to have common ground between north korea and the united states and get them to either stop developing more nuclear weapons or to find a way to deter them from using them? >> well, i think that the united states should keep denuclearization of the korean peninsula as a long-term goal and recognize -- >> but does that look possible with this regime, kelsey? >> well, i think it can be possible

it should be the united states. you can talk to north korea and say we not going to these negotiations -- in washingtonency and in think tanks to negotiate north korea policy side. they will have a list of demands for us and we have to decide if we are ready to meet. i thought it was curious they did not have that either especially after trump-pence that i would be willing to meet with the leader of north korea face to face. everyone thought that was a bit over-the-top. curious they do not take advantage of a low-level meeting. i think congress can play a useful role and is playing a greater role in foreign policy. it is particularly a good comment by john mccain, a hawk and well-established. basically said the president should not have said what he said. the president basically implied we will use nuclear weapons and threaten a country with nuclear weapons here we have not heard that in a long time if ever we have heard it before. behink john f. kennedy may with the cuban missile crisis, but that is ill advised, to

this is how the united states government operates. and we know this because of declassified defense intelligence agency reports. so not only are we hypocritical, but also bipolar in many ways. because we think we can not just be two-faced, but we think we can also manage certain situations in a way that just defies reality. so, and of course, coming back to it all, it is the very people who live in these places, who are being burned to death and ripped apart. and i think it is easy for us to forget that. as we talk about this as i stand here in my suit and tie, and drink my cup of coffee, that as we speak about this, american bombs are ripping apart men, women, and children as we speak. it is not abstract at all. >> one thing i forgot to meantion -- oh, i'm sorry. a number of people mentioned reliance on airstrikes as a big part of u.s. strategy. would that undermine humanitarian pretext argument, as well? >> absolutely. the other thing, too, i recall there being a report that was released by the united nations last fall. and i was re

what did it get the united states? >> well, it really is a diplomatic coup in that the united states was able first of all to get china to go along with the u.s. in drafting these sanctions and then to get a unanimous security council approval. that is definitely a diplomatic slap on the wrist or maybe more to north korea from its closest ally china. and a number of other countries that don't always go along with what the u.s. wants them do at the u.n. so on that side, it's a win. the practical effect is very much still tbd including whether china enforces it and of course in light of the rapid advances on north korean nuclear weapons capabilities, a lot of this really may just be too late. >> has the per spepgs gloceptio changed? >> i would say yes very much. for a long time north korea was more of an annoyance than a real threat to almost every other country except south korea. certainly they have been a real threat to south korea, japan, u.s. ships at sea. and a number of other entities in the region. but less of a

side in the united states. when i felt that i reached out to walter green. when you came to japan i was able to talk to you to gain more perspective and also talk to you about the need for more active discussion. [inaudible] there are differences in the two countries but this is the fourth-round. we have been discussing a lot of discussions about wide-ranging issues in the discussion connected here will be submitted to the government and the us forces and i think the goal is to give those institutions and. [inaudible] >> thank you. one of the major topics and focus was north korea and is in the news again this morning, as i mentioned. it's one of the drivers of change in our alliance. two years ago japan was still largely in the rear area and today there are so many threats to japan directly from north korea, missiles, cyber, so forth. and now directed towards the american homeland. that creates the necessity of joint preparedness and we are okay. it also creates potential forfeitures and different assessments

and what will the united states do in response? and then what will the north koreans do in response? this is what china has been talking about, this chain reaction, this sequence of events going down a road from which there is no return, an accidental war on the korean peninsula which everyone agrees would be absolutely catastrophic. >> gloria, as you know, the president seemed to draw this red line yesterday in the fire and fury statement. >> he did. >> is he now boxed in? because there is a new threat. if there are any more threats from north korea they'll face fire and fury. >> well, it would seem that he is. clearly i think if i were in the administration, i might be looking for a way out, an intermediary of some kind perhaps to help him out of this. but you saw what general mattis did and what rex tillerson did today, which was try and provide a little bit of context here for the fire and fury statement. mattis taking a harder line, tillerson telling everybody that, you know, all we were trying to say is that the united states

is he really going to come after the united states knowing what the united states can do back? he has got to make that calculation. he now has to decide that i think what the united states does is he we continue to know what our options are. and we continue to be able to. ainsley: what are our options if our sanctions aren't working. is it to put ground troops? what is the next step? >> i think it depends on what he does. if he goes and he still tests small things. is he going to watch his hard currency go way down. see hard kicks when it comes to ballistic missile program. if he chooses to do something more dangerous, the united states will respond accordingly. i think the international community will respond accordingly. brian: one thing you did not do and correct me if i am wrong, you did not sanction the chinese bank to deal with north korea. would that be the next step. >> what we did do is we sanctioned one of the primary banks that north korea deals with. that was a hard-hitting bank that we did do. so we went after coal, lead, iron, seafood. we went after sanction desig

to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. he has been very threatening beyond a normal state. and as i said, they will be met with fire, fury and frankly, power. the likes of which this world has never seen before. >> the president's comments came after "the washington post" reported this afternoon, north korea successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles. that was a technological development that analyst believe was years away. the news comes less than two weeks after north korea tested a ballistic missile believed to be capable of reaching the mainland of the united states. but for two hours after that disturbing and important news broke today, the president of the united states had absolutely nothing to say about it. instead, he was busy tweeting lies about "the washington post," the "new york times," and his administration's lack of of accomplishments. first he tweeted, e-mails show that amazon washington post and f

quite frankly if you enter the united states illegally you are removable from the united states. by legal i mean without a visa or without permission. if you overstay you are removable from the united states. as a judge it's not up to me decide whether that's the right thing to do or not the right thing to do. but the one thing i will tell you is that if you allow individuals who enter the united states illegally to remain in the united states illegally unmolested, as former i.c.e. director indicated was likely to -- to individuals who simply enter the united states illegally, you are going to get more of them. your docket is going to swell. what we're talking about today. why is the backlog so high? because were not enforcing immigration laws. we create perverse incentives for people to enter the united states illegally. the smuggling rate -- the smuggling fee went way down because people which is simply come across the board and claim credible fear. this was a problem for the smuggling gangs. they didn't have anybody to smuggle, because quite frankly you didn't need a smuggler.

states and mexico that's a huge political issue in united states and mexico. mexico has presidential can expect that to become a big part of for this free flow of people over in the border. are certain conditions in nafta they allow professionals but i over with visas don't know how much they're going to talk about immigration at this point. alaska, independent caller? morning. >> good morning. a fellow asked about people driving into mexico canada into the united states, i spoke to you on the 6-8 months ago and to guys told me they had drop loads and then they were picked up by american drivers i had mentioned that dot has regulations for logbook and at that point, it was a nonissue. what they're regulations are there they have to drop loads at the texas drivers can rican pick them up. down innd randy we were laredo, texas. the washington journal was and folks there and saw the trucking operation. you would have mexican drivers load in the ing up united states, bringing it over off and , dropping it making that trip back and forth over in the border several t

the united states numbers go from 10,000 to 15,000 across the united states. so the biggest problem on ms-13 is in central america, especially in countries such as el salvador and honduras. host: how many cells here in the u.s.? guest: we don't know exactly how many cells. and actually, ms-13 is not an old american city. it's only in some big cities, especially in l.a., in some cities in virginia and new york. i will say that less than 1,000 cells. host: what do they do? what are their crimes? guest: well, these are as i said before, this is a youth gang. in the case of central america, they tend to be a very violent and brutal gang. maim,- these people kill, rape, criminal activities. basically, they get most of their money from extorting the population from trafficking drugs at their neighborhood level. but the main source of their money is ex storgs. and they basically establish these networks of extortion against the population, especially against the poor population where the communities, they control in honduras, guatemala, el alvador. kay came here in t

the united states did not, unlike today, the united states was no arsenal for democracy, let me tell you. the united states sent iron and food and blood and muscle and bone men to france to fight in world war i and other parts of the globe, but primarily on the western front. because it did not have the facilities to make guns and planes and tanks and even trucks on the scale that were being made in france at the time. but there was one thing that the united states was particularly good at, and that was telecommunications. now, this particular picture i'm showing you is a world war i poster, you know, trying to recruit men to operate telegraphs, telephones, and radios and the size of the font on the radio makes you think it's important. but in fact, the primary instrument of generalship in world war i was the telephone. and of course it had been invented in the united states by alexander graham bell who like many great americans was an immigrant and he came from scotland and invented the telephone over here, and it was superior at this time than these other technologies because first

well yes of course you know the united states has been in. for about a hundred years and since the first iranian parliament was declared between ninety six and nine hundred eleven so it's no surprise to you once more u.s. secretary of state there was a senate committee that the united states' policy is essentially to overthrow the government it's important i think to see that this is not a threat for the future but it's almost a statement aboard the president's the good the united states has over the course even know of the past few years of them did to destabilize the government in iran including of course perhaps having a hand in the assassination well for iranian nuclear scientists between then and do indeed. as part of their effort to ramp up tensions with iran the administration has consistently threatened to pull out of the joint comprehensive action plan concerning the iran nuclear deal one of the main accomplishments of the obama administration do you take that risk seriously and where might u.s. around relations go from there. well y

circling around the united states not yet involved. but the opportunity to get serious discussions underway appears to be in the offing. that's what we have to pursue. we also need to understand and try to figure out exactly what it is that north korea wants. it appears in all cases that north korea wants to assure their, the continuation of the kim jong-un regime. >> but they also say, congressman, the north korean statements that have come out over the past few days, they will never give up their nuclear weapons program, they're not walking away from this at all. basically telling all the countries of the region including the united states, live with it. >> well, we're not about to live with it. nor is china, russia, japan and the neighboring communities. let's be clear here -- that nuclear threat is as much a threat to -- in fact more of a threat to the surrounding neighbors than it is to the united states. we do have a missile defense system that would be effective against north korea's intercontinental ballistic missiles. the neig

states capitol at that time in the united states in their house and senate. and it actually has roots that go back to british parliament where we got our two house system. green, house of commons. red, house of lords. now we're in the senate. we're actually on the third floor of the capitol. the third floor was a gallery. the chairs you see around you are for the people. now, legislative sessions are open to the public. at any time you're going to see either a lot of people, a lot of schoolchildren or a lot of nobody, depending on what's going on. a lot of bills have gone through this room that have been very controversial. of course, that's what the capitol was built for. i used to tell children, we're a bill making factory. in a way, that's the intent of the building, to be a place where california representatives, legislators, would make decisions on pieces of legislation and turn them into law. for instance, in 1911, you saw some monumental bills being passed in here due to progressive era governments. prior to 1911, a lot of legislation was favored towar

>>> after the united states entered world war i. although women were prohibited from joining the regular army or navy, they found ways to contribute, often taking up jobs once performed by men, now going overseas. one group of women, however, possessed a skill much needed by the army, fighting a war required reliable communications network but more than two and a half years of war had devastated the french telephone system. general john j., commander in chief of the american expeditionary forces called upon the expertise of women telephone operators. more than 1700 women applied and just over 200 served in europe with the army. their service is documented in their official personnel files, now in the national archives at st. louis, a collection of archival civilian personnel records. yes, that's civilian personnel records. after the war, these women, because they were women, were not deemed eligible for military benefits, despite their army service. it took until the 1970s for the hello girls to finally receive the benefits due them

along the united states, the united kingdom and ukraine. that provided ukraine with assurances that all parties would respect its independence, sovereignty and existing borders. in that memorandum, russia also promised to refrain from the threat or use of force in exchange for the ukraine's relinquishment of nuclear weapons. once again, under the 1997 nato russia founding act, russia agreed to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other or any other state in sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence. each other or any other state in sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence. unfortunately, russia is not adhering to the letter, much less the spirit of these international commitments. the u.s. and our allies will continue to press russia to honor its minsk commitments and our sanctions will remain in place until moscow reverses the actions that triggered them. as president trump has made clear, the united states remains committed to diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in eastern ukra

selling to the enemies of the united states. he was pardoned after his wife donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the clintons. then you have dangerous criminals. president clinton pardoned susan roseburg, a member of the weathered underground. part of a bank robbery that led to a guard and two police officers being killed. drug dealers. president clinton commuted the sentence of a central player in a cocaine ring that stretched from california to minnesota. criminal leaker. you've heard the word leaker? president obama commuted the sentence of chelsea manning, who leaked countless classified documents to wikileaks, perhaps and others. but horrible, horrible thing that he did, commuted the sentence. and perhaps pardoned. president obama commuted the sentence of oscar lopez rivera, who was charged as part of a violent independence group from puerto rico, responsible for 28 chicago area bombings and many deaths in the 1970's and 1980's. sheriff joe is a patriot. sheriff joe loves our country. sheriff joe protected our border

mexico depends on market assets in the united states. there is an asymmetry, trade is pretty balanced. a bilateral trade relationship, there is great asymmetry, mexico depends more. access toarket the united states was at risk, mexico started to think about how he would renegotiate with the u.s.. the trump administration has been consistent in the language they will put forth. , if want to renegotiate they cannot renegotiate, they will withdraw. i think the basic response, we heard early on, to this in terms of strategy, mexico had a concern that just in economic negotiation, mexico may not have the leverage you need to maintain market access to the united states. it started to talk about things like needing to have a comprehensive dialogue with the united states. in recent weeks we have heard explicitly from mexico what they mean by that. mexico feels like it offers the united states quite a bit in terms of security cooperation, ensuring there is never a terror attack across the u.s. mexico border and they have been doing a lot about th

to you, my friend and the 40th president of the united states 45th president of the united states, president

with the leireminder that we ar connected to the united states. california being so far west, and not a lot in between, the idea that we could create the look of the capitol, with as close to what the united states capitol looked like, we're the wild west, they are building this huge building with a dome and columns, very similar in look and style to the united states capitol, that wasn't by mistake. it was the idea that we were part of this particular government right now, this is who our identity is. and so you see a lot of symbolism in the rooms, in fact the green color of the assembly and the red color of the senate are stemmed from what was being used during the united states capitol at that time in the united states -- in their house and senate and it actually has roots that go back to british parliament where we got our two house system. green house of commons. red house of lords. well now we're in the senate. and we're actually on the third floor of the capitol. and the third floor was a gallery. so the chairs you see around you are for th

states our defense defend russia here are different united states because. every politician who tried to incite conflicts should be defeated well it's interesting you say that because it leads me to my last question i know that in your previous capacity you had to do a lot with the warring parties and the mediation you participated in trying to find a solution to the sri lankan conflict and i'm sure you would agree with me that the mediation is a very challenging and often very. process how do you see yourself in this new overall of the executive general are you more of a mediator or are you perhaps just an administrator or responsible for implementing something that has already been agreed upon i think both i mean in their campaign for instance or just launched a campaign called clean seas to pick up all the norms prestige pollutions which are destroying our oceans but also being a mediator and if there was. maybe ten years trying to. succeed. most of the many other people around you killed those big. just role models. very very good advice to global poster
