the world without the united states. evidence of that was very clear. the europeans are setting up something called the european defense initiative in which they are going to start doing military planning and purchasing outside of nato because they are just not convinced, not confident that the united states is going to be seriously engaged in nato. that compromises our security as the europeans start to make plans for their defense without us, even though we still have an obligation under the treaty to protect them. over and over you see the world moving on as they watch this massive withdrawal of america from the world. the president said at a rally in alabama a few months ago, he said, quote, the world starting to respect the united states of america again. well, that couldn't be further from the truth. the pew organization charts other countries' opinions of the united states, and they also chart whether other countries believe that the united states is going to act in the best interests of the world. and the numbers

the united states interest, and i thinkom some do, if you think that the united states t right now for our own interests should be involved in the civil war in yemen being the led by saudi arabia, then members of the united states senate should have the courage to vote for u.s. participation in that war. nothing more complicated than that. you want to come to the floor of the senate, make the case, why do you think it is good public policy for usol to be involved n that civil war in yemen, come to the floor and oppose our resolution. but what i hope very much that we will not see today is the tabling of this motion, and the refusal by members of the senate to vote up or down as to whether or not we wish to continue aiding saudi arabia in this humanitarian disaster. if you believe, as i do, that we should not get sucked into the civil war, which is already cost so much human suffering, please vote against tabling the motion to this charge and vote with us on final passage. if you believe that the united states should continue to assist saudi arabia in this war, i urge you to have the co

the united states was spending enormous sons but the united states said that it was impossible to sleep with the financing those reparations because they are not even close to self-sustaining. but there was a much deeper fundamental conflict between the united states and sovie the sovt union when it came to germany andma that is neither the united states or soviet union could count against an ally of the other. it was threatening to both parties fundamental national interest. in mid april after meeting with stalin, george marshall flies home and thinks a famous radio address in whichan he announces the patient is seeking while the doctors did a great and we will not wait any longer. that is the cooperative arrangement that we made with the soviet union at 1945 where an end the soviets had undermined a of them and they've committed economically but they were not doing anything of the sort so they said that it was at an end. while they were in moscow, the president was delivering his famous doctrine speech into things that were worth highlighting about the speech, he famously pledges to t

the united states of america. look, i'm not going to apologize for standing up to the values that londoners have had. we're the most diverse city in the world. more than 300 languages spoken in my city. i think diversity is a strength. but i say this. the context is that we in london, we in my country, we love america, we love meamerica. we love your films, your music, your culture, your fashion, dare i say it, cnn, but one of the advantages of having a best friend is not simply to stand shoulder to shoulder in times of adversity and to be an ally, but when your best friend, who is very different from an acquaintance or a friend you hardly ever see, when there are things you disagree with, you have to call them out. i would apologize for calling out things that our best friend says or tweets. >> well, your best friend, the president of the united states, his now departed chief adviser, steve bannon, is in europe right now taking this very nativist, nationalist populist message around to france and italy and elsewh

the united states is one of the largest investors in sweden and the swedish investments in the united states support over 200,000 american jobs. earlier this afternoon, i heard from several swedish business executives, some of the best in the world. where are you folks? please, some of the great executi executives in the world. people i've known for a long time and certainly know of. and they're investing tremendous amounts of money in the united states in supporting also vocational training for american workers. we are grateful for those investments. we are committed to working with sweden to pursue even greater economic cooperation. we are also continuing to pursue bilateral agreements to advance mutual prosperity. i am please thad sweden intends to procure the patriot air and missile defense system, finest in the world, in a deal worth over $3 billion. this system will increase stability and security in the baltic sea region. a strong and balanced economic relationship strengthens security and prosperity in both of our beginning. we have a lot of things we are working on. we are wo

the right of the united states, the united states has rights to decide matters within the united states. that is called sovereignty. and it is up to venezuela to make the decision within the overeignty of venezuela. i several times did what toiked get president bush to meet with resident chavez. when president obama was recently in power, he went to trinidad and tobago, and then we had a meeting with him to cr the conditions for the united states to have a more peaceful relationship with venezuela. but it seems to me that it's not possible. there's a certain irrationality at the u.s. state department that doesn't want to negotiate eace in venezuela. but we need to understand that as central america grows, it's going to prove the economic situation generally. no one wants to see democracy at risk anywhere in the world, and that is why i regret that there's not understanding on the part of the united states with respect to venezuela. amy: the u.s. c.i.a., u.s. government, is well known to have been involved in the 1964 coup in brazil. do you see enough evidence of that, both in the ouster

history of the united states. so this -- had the possibility, the option of choosing between democrats and republicans, 14 million latinos that were eligible to vote decided to stay home. and maybe that decided the last election. >> so then what do you think is going to happen? you talk about president obama, and he was, in fact, called by your community, the deporter in chief. >> he was. >> so what happens, i mean, this is obviously such a massive issue for the united states. how does politics work, grassroots politics to come up with sensible immigration reform, once and for all, bipartisan? >> i don't think it's going to happen with donald trump. i think everybody, including the dreamers, the daca students, everybody's already talking about that it would be impossible to do anything. he says he has a big heart, but at the same time he's constantly attacking us. he's a president who's made racist, openly racist remarks. i don't know if he's a racist. i don't know what's coming out of his mouth. i'm not expecting

about the united states, the numbers are not great. but where are you going to go. someone in japan said if this keeps up, we are going to hedge against the united states. i set what you are going to do? they said they are going to strengthen their ties with india and australia. maybe xi has a better option. >> i think that we will end it this, please join me and thanking our panel. >>> wish journal, live everyday with news and policy issues that impact you, coming up tuesday morning, freedom works, adam brandon on president donald trump's tar riff announcement and the midterm elections then mary francees berry and former venture capitalist on his new book and on what school can be, watch washington journal tuesday morning and join the discussion. >> here's a look at our live events for tuesday, interior secretary rye -- rye sin sin testifies in front of the senate budget committee at 10:00 a.m. on cspan-3, then the house comes in and they are working on legislation to improve legislation on experimental treatments, then the commanders

like the marshall plan, the united nations charter. we created an international system that was favorable to our interests. that became the foundation for much of the defense department's planning for 35 years. - [narrator] by 1991, the soviet union, america's primary post-world war ii foe, collapsed. - world war three didn't happen, because the united states and europe were too strong. we effectively deterred any kind of soviet attack. (exciting music) (people chanting) - [narrator] history did not end after the cold war. (people cheering) (speaking a foreign language) (speaking a foreign language) america's defense strategy would need to adjust to the new balance of power. - those who won the cold war believed that their model had triumphed, and that the western, democratic, capitalist us led alliance would now encompass the globe. that order would become the world order. - already the united nations has become the measure, and the vehicle, of man's most generous impulses. - the imf world bank. the united states remains honored to be

in the end, undermine the security of the united states. juan: stephen kinzer, i would like to move to nicaragua. most people are familiar with the reagan era, tends to overthrow the sandinista government or the evening during the roosevelt era of the attempts to get rid of sandino nicaragua.and rick and wal at the beginning of the 20 century, you talk about the efforts of u.s. government to overthrow the zelaya? >> zelaya was a fascinating figure. the most formidable leader nicaragua ever had. he was a flashing reformer. he was a liberal, a progressive. he built ports and roads, try to build of a middle class in the driveway. he brought the first automobile into nicaragua. the 1st street lights. he organized the first baseball league. he was a true modernizer. plus, he had one characteristic the u.s. really did not like, and that is he wanted nicaragua to have an independent foreign-policy. when he needed to raise money for a planned railroad across nicaragua, rather than seek loans from the morgan bank in the united states -- as we wanted

the constructive cooperation between sweden and united states in the united nation security council. i would like to underline that the transatlantic link is strong , and it remains crucial to responding to global security challenges. non-alignedmilitary country come up but we build security in partnership with others and greatly value our broad security and defense cooperation with the united states. one important example of that is our joint efforts to fight and combat terrorism. sweden and the united states stand shoulder to shoulder in the global coalition against in the resolute support mission in afghanistan. these fight to military efforts must go hand in hand with strong political come at diplomatic, and civilian support to create sustainable results. so in conclusion, as we celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations, we are also planning for shared prosperity and security for many , many years to come. once again, i thank you, mr. president come up a constructive and successful meeting, and for the very warm welcome that both my delegation and i received. thank you very muc

i've always resented because i did say to the united nations i mean if anyone could explain to me the difference between new conservatives and the neo liberals i mean does it make any difference for a person in afghanistan or in iraq or if he's killed by a new style that came from someone who just believes in american power or it came from hillary clinton who believes in american power to service all of universal we need to well yes ok we're going to defrost neo liberals an economic policy it has nothing to do with foreign policy ok. but he. specifically i mean we have trump making an overture to meeting the north korean leader both and is going to advise him against that i mean is this could be the first test but i think when we started talking about this meeting proposed meeting between terms. and. we said one of the things we said was that the meeting may not even take place it may be a rhetorical exercise. for various political purposes and when we talk about bolton well the we're on the same wavelength and with least one issue and that's the issue of dealing with iran and bolton

in the united states is only seven percent so you can see that just because the united states is just such in the norms market with three hundred twenty million customers mostly producing everything it needs by itself you can wage a trade war if you insist on it of course there will be always people suffering in the united states but it will not be the majority germany never ever could bridge a trade war it would kill the whole economy and that's not true for the united states and that's exactly the reason why trump is not the first president to start a trade war i mean the same is true of the second and of course it backfired as clued said. in the end jobs were lost and gained but you know. what happened ragen is still very popular and that's exactly what knows that politically economy it's just nonsense but politically for the united states it's always a good idea for the president to start a trade war i know you can count on stating it will i want to come back a bit later to more on the economic effects but let's look at a second set of potential effects of all of this couldn't it

i don't think that you mentioned the phrase more united to us the united west on which issue on the issue of expulsions but look if you have some small countries like poland greece or seoul they expelled for one diplomat and one diplomat will be so make change for for for another diplomat coming to this country but that this is not united. to my mind this is not the united position this is just using the pretext the the very dubious pretext of killing the ex a spy scree paul to united to the united ranks of western powers but i would like to ask a question to my from from from from my colleague sad judge judge just small question what do you think how russia will be dealing with the western countries in the future it is a fight all these sanctions this bite all this pressure and everything mr benny you have thirty seconds to respond to that question i hope that mr putin's government will decide to deal with the west in a responsible and co-operative menno eventually as i said it's not in the west's interest to have a confrontation with russia nobody gains from from that in the in the west

she was fighting with the kurdish women's protection units again backed by the united states well yes and our friend in northern syria against i still who of course had a complicated relationship with the west in the past so the whole thing is a big mess over there now the west is culpable in turning up the heat in my view in more than one way turkish jet killed this british as an british subject supported by american money does that mean under article five of nato the united states and that alone britain can attack turkey well remember that's the big mass because we're walking into a dangerous area which could be more incendiary than the situation between washington and north korea there were no big thank you well within the past twenty four hours u.s. president donald trump here between tweeting is really meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman on the heels of his visit to london where he met with to resume and the queen the u.s. out. the alliance though will arguably get less media attention than who trump will fire next joining me now from florida is dr g. allowed in

the on the on the ground its different view if the united. states want to see some arguments the beginning while asian and appearance it find it very easy to invent it watch and saw a quite a lot of times and. fabrication of many other arguments that are not to work in the day so i think that it is not time for any of publications ok you know what mr russia making. fleet is making money in this short seashore of syria right now we are using rockets and declination of chief of russian stuff to get russia mouth is ready serious icing it's better not to move ahead. that we had from here from hainan and it is a may it may in great britain mr doyle doesn't this remind you of the whole of episode around the fall of all the international community's outcry over what's happening nothing happened after that. there are massive similarities you know with that situation and certainly went down to the very very bitter end in eastern iowa and i think that those of us who really care about the people in east router have been hoping hoping somewhat in vain t

united states and with the united states that had imposed some very very strict conditions particularly on the pharmaceutical industry while the patients that were made precisely where enabled because the united states left they had. asked for certain conditions that. did not accommodate fully some countries chile was ok because in their. bilateral agreement with the united states we had a lot of the elements that were new for other countries i. won't give names by for example there were countries i had zero protection for. the data for biological from a suitable products and they had to increase to five children i already had five years of protection for that data in the agreement with the united states so eliminating that evidently cost less political pressure in the countries when we removed about twenty. norms in the original to b.p. that. the united states had particularly pushed for but we had to do just said a a very quick rearrangement. which was an easy it took a lot of political will. because. not only did we have to change the implementation agreement because implementation a

the united states was founding member of the united nations. it is still indispensable part of the united nations. it is inconceivable that the united nations would not exist without the united states taking part in it. this creates severe problems because there is always the israeli exception. every resolution that comes up is being weighed in the balance. nuclear non-proliferation, we saw with grant's presentation earlier, the united states is signatory to non-proliferation treaties that say no country apart from the, what is now the five permanent members should have nuclear weapons. and it condones nuclear weapons in enrace. because it does that, every other country in the world, india, pakistan, north korea, hey, if them, why not us? you continually creating exceptions to your own rules other people walk in through. you know, the settlements in particular. the u.s. has never actually approved them but they have changed the language so often over the years that it's, as far as the u.s. is concerned, jerusalem is international territory. the

the the united states and russia and the diplomats were kicked out of the united states then of course u.s. diplomats were kicked out of russia as well these things tend to follow reciprocal measures russia has this policy of reciprocity where it thinks that you know if you do something to me we're going to basically do the same thing back to you of course they do things in a slightly different way and they try to. bring in some degree of imbalance to make things that much less predictable so yes if we get some kind of expulsions of russian diplomats in the united kingdom we're going to see something similar here if there are. economic measures taken against russia or that's something the russia has a much harder time responding to because the russian economy is is reasonably weak at the moment and they will have a hard time hitting back i think in the united kingdom in that regard all right thank you very much for a chalons in moscow of course we're waiting to hear that update from the u.k. prime minister trees in may here in the house of commons an update on the investigation into th

the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people and the united kingdom using a military grade nerve agent dozens of civilians and first responders were also exposed russia says the accusations are insane and that britain is refusing to cooperate with moscow in the investigation into the incident. and we are extremely concerned about what has taken place several days ago on the territory of the united kingdom we are taking information about the situation of using chemical weapons on the territory of the united kingdom with utmost concern to this day i can confirm this again london refuses to provide any factual information regarding this case. so is there a rush to judgment by western powers on russia let's bring in our guests for today from moscow with we're joined by the office live matters offer former russian diplomat in london matthew goodwin senior visiting fellow in the europe program at chatham house and from santander in spain by skype is from greece foresee a chief strategy officer and global and former director of policy planning from they said

of the equation that's part of the equation and certainly russia simply exist resisting the united states in syria bolton is a is a cold of american supremacies exceptionalism he cannot tolerate that some democrats have suggested that bolton is too soft on russia for them which is a is it maybe i'm a pretty amazing but i never met a in an exercise of u.s. military power or in power that he's in and he doesn't like hold up thought gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion in the war party state with our. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but only at the price of being destroyed itself. putin said well these weapons will overcome u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces. the. welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok mike i want to go back to you right be

owed the united states $2 million. the united states tried for 220 years to get that money back and decided to go to war in 1846. as compensation for those debts, the name of that compensation as california, utah, nevada, new mexico, part of oklahoma, and basically 500,000 square miles of mexican territory. this is not the way, when the united states did this, it was not acting as a rogue imperial power, it was acting as what responsible states did that is because the old world order gave them the right of conquest. states had another right. if they had the right to go to work, they had the rate to threaten to go to war. this is incredibly important because it undergoes the practice that we call gunboat diplomacy. as many of you know, in the 19th century, japan was excluded, excuse me was secluded and excluded with the exception of the dutch, twice a year from trading with japan. the united states and other western powers were very upset, they claimed japanan was violating its obligation to engage in legal commerce and

now, in the united states we established a religion. that is a core constitutional principle ingrained in our first amendment in the bedrock of our democracy. yet, we are most certainly a nation under god and virtually every government proclaims in god we trust. our support for israel derives from our shared values, values instilled in us from ancient text of that freedom, democracy, independence and the sanctity of life. of course, from the covenants that, made to abraham, the father of all great religions that he will bless those who bless israel. [applause]. to millions of people in our great country, as we sit and ponder the wonders of our republic, the almost magical transformations we have made over the 242 years in our history as one indivisible nation under god. we can't help but be convinced that america's steadfast support for israel has had a profound effect on our good fortune. i am convinced that america is at its best when it supports israel.

the united states in the early 1990s took its nuclear weapons off the peninsula. south korea has pledged that it will not develop nuclear weapons. so the southern part of the peninsula is already denuclearized. the northern part of the peninsula needs to be denuclearized. that's the problem. >> you mentioned two previous agreements. one the agreed framework under president clinton and then the others you mentioned, you know, during president bush's administration. and you were there. "the new york times" has written that no one worked harder to scuttle the agreed framework than john bolton, the incoming national security adviser. he doesn't like these agreements. he thinks that they're, you know, for sissies. and he said, as i told you or i read to you, "the wall street journal" said that it was perfectly legitimate for the u.s. to strike first if there's nuclear weapons in north korea. i guess, how does he walk that stuff back, if he does? or is there now going to be some real friction within the administration? >> he walks it back the same way president trump ha

for example of the right at the start of the cold war the british told the united states that it could no longer defend greece greece was an informal territory under british domain or of the british had germany britain could no longer do it even though it was nice from a different critical for the access to the suez canal. and so that's what prompted president harry truman to declare the truman doctrine and extend u.s. defense to greece and turkey there were informal handovers for example in a round the british were the dominant power in iran the abbott an oil refinery that was the biggest oil find in the world that provided the fuel that drove the british navy the british navy conserve of converted to bunker oil was absolutely critical and from one hundred on word around was part of the british informal empire well you know when most of that took power in that nationalist revolt the british intelligence tried to maneuver against them they couldn't quite carry it off and that became a. and of course imperial handover were british intelligence after the arenas close a british embassy an

of the united states. thank you mr president and i thank my british colleagues for calling this important meeting. we're here today to discuss the use of a chemical weapon by one council member in the territory of another council member let me make one thing clear from the very beginning. the united states stands in absolute solidarity with great britain the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people and the united kingdom using a military grade nerve agent and dozens of civilians and first responders were also exposed police officer nick bailey was the first to arrive on the scene and remains hospitalized in serious condition our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this atrocious crime. no two nations enjoy a stronger bond than that of the united states and the united kingdom ours is truly a special relationship when our friends in great britain face a challenge the united states will always be there for them always. alone russia's crime is worthy of this coun

he said he thought this was a violation of the deal between the united nations and the united states that allows the u.s. to be the host of the united nations the u.n. itself is making no comment on that the u.s. ambassador nikki haley also spoke a short time ago she told us that when we see espionage tactics taking place right here at the heart of the u.n. we can't have that and she then went in to exactly the same luck that the russian ambassador was attending they will now sit around the table and are right now sitting around the table at a regular lunch of the fifteen ambassadors of the united nations and the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists we've already seen paralysis on so many international problems and conflicts why how does this impact international diplomacy. well there's bound to be another phase i think the russians will strike back circle be a further tit for tat as they call it and in the end i think that's just going to make it more difficult for the international community to get around the table and talk about important issues like the war in syria lik

the united states and the united kingdom we heard from the russian ambassador and he responded on a number of levels one of his points that he made was he pointed out that russia has actually given up its chemical weapons and that the o.p.c. w. has confirmed that russia no longer possesses chemical weapons from there he invoked the memory of when call in powell representing united states in dressed that very body the u.n. security council holding the vials of powder that he said were chemical weapons from iraq he reminded the council and pointed out that at this point now we have the united kingdom coming was simply a letter and that that there seems to be a history of rather unsubstantiated allegations against different countries regarding chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction from the united states in the u.k. this is the russian representative responding to the words from the u.s. and the u.k. was even will salute him and we are living in a very special time in front of our eyes incredible things are happening the process of replacing the presumption of innocence with

the economies of china and the united states but of course all server economies here in the asia pacific region which depend very much on trade with the united states and china all right agent thank you very much aaron brown live in beijing. turkey's military says eight of its soldiers were killed another thirteen were injured on thursday this took place in syria's northern african region making it one of the deadliest days for turkish forces since they began a cross border offensive against kurdish wife p g five has started in journey let's go live now to a solid binge of aid he's our correspondent who's in gaziantep that's on the turkish syrian border and i'm just wondering whether the turks are fearing that they might have bitten off more than they can chew insofar as when they started this operation president ed or one suggested that it was going to be pretty much in and out they thought that he could take it take his forces out after a couple of weeks but it's looking to be a lot more tricky. well it is the this incident just goes to show how complex the terrain is that the turkish

in the united states is only seven percent so you can see that just because the united states is just such in the market with three hundred twenty million customers mostly producing everything it needs by itself you can wage a trade war if you insist on it of course there will be always people suffering in the united states but it will not be the majority for example germany never could be made to trade it would kill the whole economy and that's not true for the united states and that's exactly the reason why is not the first president to start a trade war i mean the same. and of course it backfired as clued said. in the end jobs were lost and gained but you know. what happened regen is still very popular and that's exactly the nose that physically economy it's just nonsense but politically for the united states it's always a good idea for a president to start a trade will i know you can count on time stating it will i want to come back a bit later to more on the economic effects but let's look at a second set of potential effects of all of this goodness something that was hotter ment

the united states believes that russia is responsible for the attack on two people in the united kingdom using a military-grade nerve agent. >> reporter: now, outgoing secretary of state rex tillerson also said that it was clearly russia behind this, although president trump has said we've got to get the facts straight first before assigning blame. meantime, theresa may of great britain is also saying that it appears that russia was behind this. but again, russia denies any involvement. frances? >> all right, tracie, thank you. >>> united airlines is facing growing outrage following a heartbreaking incident in the sky that left a family devastated. a family's new puppy died after a flight attendant allegedly instructed the family to place the carrier in one of its overhead bins for the duration of the flight. in a new statement, united airlines says the flight attendant did not understand when the family tried to explain that a dog was inside the bag because of the owner's accent. last year, united flew 138,000 pets as cargo. 18 died, making it 3/4 of total pet deaths with major airlines

to it is certainly correct from the russian point of view that the united states ripped up the any ballistic missile treaty i regretted that i opposed it at the time actually my first book was on why they plastic missile treaty was a still a good thing for us. obviously that book that didn't win the day was not a seller. was not a best. now honestly u.s. missile defenses have first approximation no capability against russian nuclear forces we have about fifty that doesn't really matter you know and they're right it's all about the perceptions of the way so many stats and it's about the perception of what it what direction it may be going in the future because there's definitely a more strategic long that long in the future. so as i say we do need to regulate these things and we do need to understand each other's perspectives as you were saying one of the crucial moments in the cuban missile crisis came when there were two communications from the soviet side. almost at the same time one of them very threatening and angry and one of the much more. compromising and fortunately for the world one
