will he say that that's a violation of u.n. security council resolutions. complicating his diplomacy and then you have the fact that president trump again took another swipe at former vice president joe biden, his political rival, back at home. he was asked about some of his recent tweets and he doubled down, sided with kim jong-un, said he agreed with kim jong-un that joe biden is a low-iq individual. this has been a trip of contradictions, ali, but also personal diplomacy. >> thank you as always. >>> president trump struck a conciliatory tone during most of his trip aboard praising japan's prime minister as is often the case. conversation surrounding international trade took on a slightly more hostile tenor. joining me now is nicholas, thank you for joining us. let's talk about the significance of this trip. there were a few other things going on. the president still -- most people more worried about the american trade deal or absence thereof with china the president dealing with a lot of north korea stuff. let's talk about the american japanese trading r

security council germany and the european union so under that agreement on severely limited its nuclear enrichment activities and allowed far more detailed inspections than before an exchange the other parties agreed to lift nuclear related sanctions on iran but that did not include separate u.s. sanctions that were not related to the nuclear program and even before president donald trump pulled out of the deal last year iran has long complained that washington did not do enough to ease its banking restrictions let's speak to. his see a co-founder and c.e.o. of center for applied research in partnership with the orient and he advise european policymakers on iran he is joining us via skype from thanks very much for speaking to us so now the european signatories find themselves in a situation where to iran is saying you have sixty days basically to take any action what do you think they're going to do. there is no doubt that this will further complicate the quest to save guard the agreement but at the same time there is also this notion of escalating in order to deescalate so i can imagin

council the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths was positive about recent developments and mr president this moment is significant and it's worth cherishing such moments which are not as frequent as we would hope of this of course is only the beginning these redeployments must be followed and i'm sure will be followed by concrete actions of the parties to deliver on their obligations under the stockroom agreement the security council also heard from top humanitarian officials from the u.n. who warned that life for people in yemen was still very difficult with the specter of famine and cholera cases on the rise this year this meanwhile was growing tensions between iran and the u.s. the search for a wider political peace settlement in yemen could be even more difficult the acting american ambassador fighting used his speech to attack the who thiis and iran the who these must cease you avi attacks against their fellow citizens and their neighbors iran needs to stop supplying the who these with weapons to

security council resolutions are enforced. but with respect to how trump has been approaching north korea, that goes very similar to the way that president obama approached iran. they want a deal to be successful and they are willing to ignore a lot of the transgressions that both countries are committing with respect to north korea firing short range missiles or even torturing, imprisoning and leading to the eventual death of otto warmbier. so these are things that trump has to come to grips with. and he does have to have a strong hand in dealing with chairman kim, but at the same time, he can't be like siding with him while dunking on the former vice president joe biden at the same time. >> so it is also important to say when the president says these small weapons, short range missiles are a threat to japan. so to say this while in japan, it is not something that goes without disturbing the prime minister. >> right. it is dismissive of the security concerns that both japan and south korea have. because it is not like missile

security council diplomatic editor james bays is that the u.n. you've been following the talks what's come out from the security council so far. well very strong words again because they are very worried about the situation 22 medical facilities have now been hit in the surveillance of by the syrian government and its russian allies that's now gone on a month i can tell you in that period in that month long period we've actually had 5 meetings in which the situation in the ad lib has been raised by the security council and yet despite the strong words no sign of any actual action that of course because one of those involved in this one of the protagonists is a permanent member of the security council with veto power the russians along with the other members of the security council did this meeting here this appeal from a top u.n. official can't to this council take any concrete action when attacks on schools and hospitals have become a war tactic that no longer sparks outrage is there nothing to be said or done when indiscriminate barrel bombs ar

security council resolutions. it seems as though this tweet was intended to undercut john bolton but it's also a slap in the face to prime minister abe, downplaying the short range missile testing. of course those short range missiles are of great concern to the japanese. and what the president said flies in the face of what prime minister abe has said, which is what john bolton said, that it is a violation of the u.n. security resolution. the japanese view that testing by north korea as simply unacceptable. so while the president has said that before, shortly after the testing happened, the timing is what is so surprising, just before he goes golfing with prime minister abe near where i am here in tokyo. and during this state visit to japan, where abe is really rolling out the red carpet for the president. so the big question moving forward is, what are the discussions going to be like moving forward on trade and defense? those are the big items that the two leaders are expected to discuss. so will this impact th

security council resolution, so there's that. choosing to believe a nuclear armed adversary over his own handpicked national security adviser, doing while visiting an ally, one in missile range of north korea, and compounding it all, the president also tried to enlist this dictator into what exactly? denouncing a political rival? whatever he did in that tweet, he did it again today. >> does it give you pause at all to be appearing to side with a brutal dictator instead of with a fellow american, the former vice president joe biden? >> well, kim jong-un made a statement that joe biden is a low iq individual. he probably is based on his record. i think i agree with him on that. but at the same time, my people think it could have been a violation, as you know. i view it differently. i view it as a man, perhaps he wants to get attention, and perhaps not. who knows? it doesn't matter. >> who knows? it doesn't matter. you know what? the president of the united states should know, and that does matter. and if the president doesn't know,
