the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective and accountable. i have said many times that the united nations has unlimited potential. as part of our reform effort, i have told our negotiators that the united states will not pay more than 25% of the u.n. peacekeeping budget. this will encourage other countries to step up, get involved, and also share in this very large burden. we're working to shift more of our funding from assessed contributions to voluntary so that we can target american resources to the programs with the best record of success. only when each of us does our part and contributes our share can we realize the u.n.'s highest aspirations. we must pursue peace without fear, hope without despair, and security without apology. looking around this hall where so much history has transpired, we think of the many before us who have come here to address the challenges of their nations and of their times. and our thoughts turn to the same question that ran through all of their speeches and resolutions, through every word and every hope. it

they stay in the united states. at one juncture, it was up to the 1970's, 90% or more stay in the united states. they are mostly coming to the united states. but something happens in the 1970's, because by the 1970's, taiwan's economy has started to develop and it is moving into an advanced economy stage. now, part of it has to do with the trickle of taiwanese students that go back to help set taiwan on this path toward development, another significant component is that the united states, between 1950 and 1965, investing a lot of capital in taiwanese agriculture. and with infrastructure, it is sending experts over to advise taiwan. the united states is deeply committed to taiwan's economic development and eventual political stabilization. though -- so in the 1950's, 1960's, there were not that many jobs for highly trained technicians, engineers, and scientists. but by the time you get to the 1970's, it has changed. so there is more and more incentive for people to go back. again, this is something to think about in

to the united states. honestly, he was in my office so quickly from europe that i do not know they had airplanes that flew that fast. i said, where did you flop -- find this plane? we have the semblance of a deal. because it is to a large extent, economically i'll about cars. -- economically all about cars. cars is a big factor. they send millions of bmws and mercedes into our country. we are working on trade very hard. it is important for me. it has been for 30 years. i have been saying for 30 years, started with japan. i talked about japan. i was right. i talked about china. i was right. it is what i do. i like doing it. but i like doing it for the people. because our country has been abused and taken advantage of by virtually every country that it does business with. and we are not letting that includes what i said previously about the military. please. reporter: president duda, welcome back to the u.s. as it relates to the eu relations, the president mentioned that poland is the proud member of pulp --

we want to keep jobs in the united states. maybe that is done in a more effective way by allowing the free flow of goods and services in and out of the nine states, particularly as we see the economic transformation. guest: it is a fine balance. governments do not create jobs. governments create a more educated workforce and resilient workforce but it is the private sector that creates jobs. at the same time, as we have communities struggling with preserving the documents we have, we have the same community . do we let investment promotion trips to canada, mexico, we want more investment? that is what creates jobs. for working people, at the same time, as we are not making cost so high and conditions are difficult. manufacturers do not want to stay in the united states. host: mark, line for republicans. go ahead. caller: i want to give a shout out to canada, which has the same natural resources, even more so than the u.s., if you count diamonds and things of that nature. likes a population florida, so they are the wealthiest p

that the united states is an unwelcoming hostile place. so recent dramatic cuts to the resettlement program have been predicated on this notion that they pose an undue risk into the united states. the vetting procedures do not work. all of the evidence suggests that this claim is unfounded. this is almost 40 years of history here. not a single refugee has been involved in a fatal terrace act on the united states. that includes the tens of thousands of refugees that we had resettled from syria and iraq. over 70% of the refugees a very small number relative to the 6 million that have been displaced so the 2% are women and children under the age of 14. and a single one has been involved in a terrorist attack. so slashing the program not only runs contrary to american values and commitment to human rights and democracy but it's also counter to our national security interests. it also helps fuel the idea that the united states is a hostile unwelcoming place which promotes the extremist narrative that the united states is hostile to islam. to pe

for decades the united states opened its economy. the largest by far on earth with few conditions we allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders yet other countries did not grant us fair and reciprocal access to their markets in return. even worse some countries abuse their openness to dump their products subsidize their goods target our industries. and manipulate their currency is to gain unfair advantage over our country. as a result our trade deficit balloon to nearly eight hundred billion dollars a year. for this reason we are systematically renegotiating. broken and bad trade deals. last month we announced a groundbreaking us mexico trade agreement. and just yesterday i stood with president moon. to announce the success. completion of the brand new us korea trade deal. and this is just the beginning. many nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. for example countries. were admitted to the world trade organization that violate every single princip

they're not coming to europe or the united states and canada. they are remaining in the region and countries that are typically poor, have poor capacity, have managed massive flows and often have the same ethnic and sectarian rifts and their society as the country of origin. the united states is strategically using the refugee program as a way to relieve some of the burden on the countries at first asylum in addition to providing generous humanitarian assistance packages. we saw that in vietnam and the coast of opiate and it worked -- and in kosovo and it worked. helped facilitate military cooperation with partners and allies in the region. it is undeniable that we go to places like iraq and afghanistan and syria and somalia that there's going to be a negative impact on countries in the region who are expected to deal with the sizable refugee flow could unite states has facilitated military cooperation from basis to logistics and other support functions by accepting a share of the burden from those countries of first asylum. not only the countri

the united states pushes forward its ambitious project of a pan arab alliance against iran but there are deep divisions brought on by the gulf crisis so can washington's desire to rope in israel along with the arab states against a common enemy actually succeeding and what does it mean for president trump's middle east peace plan this is inside story. welcome to the program today with me peter w. washington has begun putting together a plan to forge and iran alliance with the arab countries now the us secretary of state mike pompei has met foreign ministers of the gulf cooperation council states and egypt and jordan they discuss the perceived threats posed by iran to peace and stability across the middle east however the g.c.c. is of course a house divided once the blockade imposed on doha by some of its neighbors lifted before the u.s. security plan can be considered credible. discussion today from new york. a gathering of gold fry vel's. this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since the fall

dates. -- united states. many of the refugees are in camps. one of the key aspects in being a refugee is you are facing persecution and unsafe conditions in your homeland, you cannot go back. but refugees, before they come to the united states, have already been vetted and authorized. they already have an immigrant visa. as i said before, you can go through all of these processes, but if the united states has hit the annual cap of how many refugees they will admit, you have to wait. asylum-seekers, i will add this, you can see the way the united states gets to control refugee admissions. you just have that number. we are only going to admit this number of refugees. one of the tensions and concerns around asylum-seekers is that you don't have the same control. the international law and u.s. law is that asylum-seekers can come to the united states and request asylum. their case is supposed to be evaluated. this is the law. but the united states can't control them, the number that apply, you are just supposed to

bush authorized the united states to. the rome statute because it was fundamentally illegitimate if the i.c.c. and its prosecutor had been granted potentially enormous essentially unaccountable powers and alongside numerous other glaring significant flaws the international criminal court constituted an assault on the constitutional rights of the american people and the sovereignty of the united states in no uncertain terms the i.c.c. was created as a free wheeling global organization claiming jurisdiction over individuals without their consent according to the rome statute the i.c.c. has authority to prosecute genocide war crimes crimes against humanity and crimes of aggression it claims automatic jurisdiction meaning that it can prosecute individuals even if their own governments have not recognized signed or ratified the treaty thus american soldiers politicians civil servants private citizens and even all of you sitting in this room today are purportedly subject to the court's prosecution should a party to the rome sta

i'm able to be hosted here at the state of president of the united states at the white house in washington. also from this perspective, the perspective of the centennial poland gaining its independence, this fact is a future pardon for pols for those living abroad and internationally, 10 million pols living in the united states this is huge symbolic importance. one reason for that, that matter of polish independence was one of the important points of the policy of the u.s. president wilson. it was precisely president wilson -- before 1918, he was the one who put the polish independence on his agenda, on the agenda of his policy. that happened among other thanks to a great polish politician and musician. it's a fact that pols experienced back then a lot of good from the united states and from the president of the united states because there are no other words to describe the fact that great state indicated to poland and defined poland as a country who should be reinstated back to the map of the world and was reinstated on the map 100 years ago in 1918 and i'm absolutely delighted today as t

right now in this moment in the united states senate what the president of the united states is saying a woman can't be trusted because she was drunk, while he was tweeting the dr. ford be trusted because people really bad as you said, she would've reported it back when she was 15 when it happened. well, republican leaders are saying they will quote, plow right through this. well, they are desperately trying to distract people are pointing to the process and the timing, anything but the substance. they hire a woman they are calling their quote, female assistant, the lord of the town to ask doctor for the questions they can't trust the republican meant on the judiciary committee to ask your the opry sweeping past this hearing and scramble to line up a committee vote right away while they're planning to stay through the weekend to rush to vote on the senate floor that their leader says is quote confident they will win. before dr. ford has even had a chance to be heard and the vote that doesn't need to be rushed for any good reason. mr. president, right now in this moment here in the unit

and us what you are for, how you are uniting us as president of the united states. outthat is how he started with his presidential ambitions. he'sbody kind of forgets the first one who said barack obama wasn't born in the united states. said, i'veone that got investigators out there in hawaii and they are coming back with incredible things, information that is really going to show you this is not a .egitimate president o so he becomes president of the united states and he tries to delegitimize they president of the united states by saying he is a muslim, that muslim religion is a bad religion to him, and that he wasn't born in this country. so that is the way he starts. steve: and yet he has support from 40% of the country, the base of the republican party. what does that tell you about the gop and his supporters? rep. gutierrez: i will express it this way. when i got involved in he says remember, in a democracy and in america, the one that gets the most votes wins the election. except in america. because you could get 3 million more votes than the other person and

state her case. he will state his case. before representatives of the united states senate. and then they will vote. they will look at his career, they will look at what she had to say from the 36 years ago. we will see what happens. i just think he is at a level that we rarely see not only in government, anywhere in life. honestly, i feel terribly for him, his wife who is an incredible lovely woman and for his beautiful young daughters. i feel terrible for them. reporter: on trade, mr. president, you announced a new trade tariffs against china. trade tariffs are an important part of your economic and trade policy. in your first year in office, the u.s. trade deficit increased by 12% per last month, we saw the trade deficit increase to $72 billion. my question to you is, is your trade tariff policy working? pres. trump: where would you started? we did not do anything with respect to china because we wanted to have the benefit of china doing with north korea. they have been helpful. i hope they are still helpful. there is a question about that. it got to a point where the num

states are very different than the actions of the united states not only the closure of this mission but also turning a blind eye to ongoing israeli settlements back. expansion rather and also the cutting of bilateral aid to the palestinians and also of course the most symbolic one of all is the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem so well we hear that this is an effort to bring about peace is seems just the opposite thank you for a white house correspondent live there in washington now we'll have reaction to the closure of the piano office in washington in just a moment we'll be speaking to ari fawcett who is standing by in ramallah in the occupied west bank but first let's go to i.c.c. headquarters in the hague in the netherlands and holder is therefore is quite a tough posture from the u.s. administration from john bolton as we heard in his remarks any reaction from the i.c.c. so far. well like you mentioned hard harsh language she was not diplomatic but we did get reaction from the international criminal court before her before that speech excerpts of that speech

member to have signed by a lot of agreement with the united states to combat terrorist financing. let's bring in our panelists joining us from doha it will him for a hat associate professor of conflict resolution to high cities for graduate studies into holland hammett more so a professor of political science at the university of tehran and from washington d.c. hillary mann leverett former u.s. state department official and c.e.o. of the political risk consultancy strutter welcome to the program blame whether port talks about the decline in attacks and casualties. from terrorist groups is that an indication that groups for example like i said until clyde to have lost the fight. well first of all the report talks about induction and number of attacks by. by isis by about twenty three percent compared to last year so it's very obvious that the move of isis from. dakar has impacted the numbers of attacks launched by these by by isis this year however this leaves us with two major questions one is that with these numbers are sustainable with of there are continuing they're going to co

other governments, but not the united states. there are no mechanisms to hold the court and its personnel accountable or curtail its unchecked powers when required. icc proponents argue that corrupt or ineffective judges can be removed by a two thirds vote of parties to their own statute and that a prosecutor can be removed by a majority ote however, i ask everyone in the room today, would you consign the fate of american citizens to a committee of other nations, including venezuela and the democratic republic of the congo, entities that are not even states, like the palestinian authority? you would not appear i would not. this administration will not. the icc is an assembly states party and cannot supervise the court anymore than the united nations general assembly can't supervise bureaucracy. recent allegations of mismanagement and corruption among icc personnel make this perfect clear. the first prosecutor elected by the states parties attempted to protect a high-ranking government official from prosecution, assisted a busines

those are not united states demands. those are the united nations demands. we are working to implement them and help chairman kim get to the right place to on a promise he made in singapore. >> do you think he will go through with this? >> yes. >> president trump said earlier today the second meeting will take place quite soon. my specific question is, what does north korea need to do before securing that meeting or has it already achieved that privilege? >> i'm not going to get into details. be traveling to pyongyang before to make the final preparations for that second meeting between the leaders. >> before the end of the year? >> lord willing, i will be traveling before the end of the year. >> [indiscernible] north korea says it is looking for reciprocal action from the united states to enter a nuclear deal. what with the united states be willing to give up to north korea since sanctions are not on the table? i have another question you might be able to answer. >> i have said repeatedly and shall remain steadfast that we will not talk about the state of t

in the beauty of the speed settlement and of courtly to the united states the united states would have no rights to make claims to other states to request those other states to comply with their obligations so let's see a return to what you might call the wild west of retaliation and counter-retaliation right there that some of that but what a what a long way from let's talk about the nafta. negotiations because donald trump is at least being consistent and this is a president who is not a fan of multilateral trade deals he described the north america free trade agreement as the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere and the killer of u.s. jobs here is what i can understand about this this is a three way deal between canada the united states and mexico how does mr trump been able to turn what was a three way deal into two bilateral deals u.s. canada and us mexico. well in order to turn it into to buy a lot of old deals he would have to withdraw the united states from the existing agreements and enter into new agreements with the two states but let me say that what he has negotiate

to stay with it and as for points out the united states has been doing a lot of what it says iran is doing now. well the president's been very consistent with the rants look there i don't believe there's a person on the face of this earth especially in the body of the u.n. that would disagree with the fact that iran exports terrorism we know that iran is responsible for a lot of trouble around the world iran has not contributed anything to any peace process anywhere and if you really take a look at this and this is my view i don't speak for the administration and it is the view of many people that iran doesn't have to look at the united states as their threat the threat to iran is their own people they're taken to the streets they're very fed up to the next with iran spending more money on the exportation of trouble than on their own people so with regard to iran he's been consistent but i will tell you this our allies where we've been allies forever at the end of the day the allies will come together with the united states and address these problems that we are facing around the wor

it centers the united states or the idea of the united states being a welcomed haven for people who were exiled. unfortunately, the history of the united states tells a somewhat different, more complicated story. the truth is, we have not always had a humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually, we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. usually, we are more inclined to actually reject refugees than to accept them. and to brawl the words of -- borrow the words of historian eric king, refugees who have been accepted are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of forced migration. -- migration and resettlement in the united states. to give you an overview of what i will talk about today, i will give you a little background about american refugee resettlement policy after the second war. then i am going to use that background to set up why the 1970's were such an important period of change. the ugandan asian refugees first arrived in united states and they were followed by an even larger group of refugees, southeast asian refugee

their right of the united states action was. inappropriate and improper action in my meeting to rig sixteen leaders of the world countries one of the discussions was about j.c.b. usa. two points were emphasized upon why all of them one was. the significance of j c p or a relation to relations of countries and then the issue of nonproliferation of stability and security and the success of the policy. also. their dissatisfaction. from. withdrawal of the estate was emphasized up on and then the second point was supporting iran decision to stay within just a. why isn't this initiative why. you're on. that. in fact this was a decision. which was able to make stomp either successful or make him fail this was our decision to. donate to states and they. make made them for failure. the pressures that are being exerted on the wrong by the i state this doesn't mean that we don't have any problems as a result of these approaches but they iranian nation has always being. patient. united. and situations that have been more even more severe th

united states. a balanced trade relationship provides more exports than any other country from the united states. canada is a small country and cannot continue with the instability with investors keeping their hands in their pockets, with manufacturers slowing down. that instability is problematic and has been for quite a while. prime minister judo's political -- prime minister trudeau's opposition is stepping up and says they're concerned about what he is doing to the economy. the first time in this process that the prime minister is getting domestic push back at home. >> if you have questions about negotiations, give us a call, democrats at 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001 negots a. independents, 202-748-8002. outside the united states, we want to hear from you, especially in the --202-748-8003 is the number and you will join the discussion. remind viewers that the wilson center is? guest: a nonpartisan think tank created by congress in 1968. our mission is to advance understanding of the w

states and china on a political level is not going to move if the united states and the white house in front of all the cameras puts pressure on china a better strategy would probably be to do work behind the scenes and to team up with other countries canada and the european union but not to go it alone now let's talk about what china could do because with china importing far less from the u.s. than the other way around the possibilities to respond with tariffs on u.s. products are rather limited could they retaliate via the bond market do you think. well i think china has a lot of possibilities to retaliate and they could actually make life much harder for us american companies that are active in the united states this doesn't have to work through tariffs they could just make they could erect minnesota barriers they could actually force more joint ventures on the americans they could actually give preference to u.s. competition which actually there have already if you look at the car industry they have lower tariffs or they have now have lower tariffs for cars for countries outside

states and whether or not he is competent and able to lead the united states. i think he's in a position to do an act of great patriotism perhaps here, but for him to continue in this job given what he is quoted as saying by bob in this book. and the thing about the book is, like all of bob's books, the varus of mill tud. in this book it goes even further because there are so many tape record pgs from his sources that the account, the narrative accounts are based on that we finally are inside the trump white house and it is a who are row show. and i said that not with any glee. this is a terrible, sad, dis may go -- dismaying, demoralizing, dangerous condition that donald trump has put the united states in. >> carl bernstein, thank you so much. >> good to be here. >> we are going to pick up on that conversation in just a second. let's go now to the confirmation hearings of this man, judge brett kavanaugh who could become the next justice on the supreme court. length now to senator cory booker. >> -- the opportunity to at least speak and make our case and even t

it is a phenomenon that is unique to the united states. there is no other country in the world that is so fixated that it is constantly creating images of those people. in the united states, this started before the country was even founded. it started with the countries most ardent patriots. there is something else that a significant about the phenomenon in this country. although imagery of american indians is pervasive with american life, it does nothing to bring non-natives closer or to understand the nature of the history of they had shared with american indians. this actually masks who native americans really are. we open this curtain and he looks what stands behind this imagery. this imagery is the intersection between native and non-native. the american exhibit ends with a very clear presentation of the fact that non-native americans and native americans share a deeply entangled history. this is the unique history of the united states. it is a shaped national consciousness. when i would like to show you is one that really fascinated

nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when the security council wouldn't go along or it created a coalition of the willing to invade and destroy iraq in two thousand and three it only supports the united nations when the united nations signs off and americans american wars of aggression when the u.n. says independently no we don't want that the united states is a fierce critic of the other parties in the united nations and it just goes its own way anyway the u.n. is only useful to the us if it's a fig leaf for us aggression good to speak to appreciate you coming on brownback if and what answers. on to other news now the university of maryland in the u.s. has issued leaflets inviting white students to join a group called white awake to discuss racial issues do you want to improve your ability to brulé to and connect with people different from you soon. do you sometimes feel uncomfortable confused before during interactions with racial and ethnic minoritie

welcome to all of you around the united states and the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the show. president trump spent much of his week at the united nations general assembly criticizing iran. >> the regime is the world's leading sponsor of terror and fuels conflict across the region and far beyond. >> iran's leaders sew chaos, death and destruction. >> i'll talk to one of those leaders anti the president's charges. iran's foreign minister javad zarif joins me in a moment. also, how to fight back against vladimir putin. lessons from poroshenko, the president of ukraine. his nation is literally on the front lines of russian aggression, and how to handle immigration from across the global. i'll talk with mexico's president, switzerland's president and new zealand's prime minister on their views about one of the most divisive issues today. >>> but first, here is my take. president trump's speech on tuesday at the u.n. was an intelligent, at times eloquent presentation of his america first world view. he laid out

united states will not be taken advantage of any longer. decades, the united states opened its economy, the largest by far on earth, with few conditions. we allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders. get other countries did not grant is fair and reciprocal access to their markets in return. worse, some countries abused their openness to dump their products, subsidize their goods, target are investors and a new israeli -- manipulate their currencies to gain unfair .dvantage our trade deficit balloons to nearly $800 billion a year, and for this reason, we are systematically renegotiating broken and bad trade deals. last month we announced a groundbreaking u.s. mexico trade yesterday id just stood with president moon to announce the successful appreciation of the brand-new u.s. career trade deal. and this is just the beginning. my nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. countries were admitted to the world trade organization that violate every single princip

view the united states? >> thank you so much. it is a great question. let me start it from this, from the member of congress. representative mike coffman and the representative chairman, your names are household names in the ethiopian people. not just me, the cairo supreme, who made these days possible believe that the united states government and a member of congress as the greatest ally in their darkest time. we believe the help of the united states played a great role in bringing the change that we are witnessing, the changes that we see, that we are giving to the prime minister. prime minister abiy ahmed was a moral person about a year and a half ago. so our struggle brought him to the front line. so, i believe as my colleague said, the role of the united states is not something that we see in ethiopia. so it is great and the united states is a great ally of ethiopia. the other thing, something that i have to add is that ethiopia has never been governed by the multiethnic -- [inaudible] in the past 27 ye

united states u.n. envoy has called for regime change in venezuela during a street protest outside the u.n. headquarters in new york. venezuela's come in for some extra attention from donald trump over the past week as he announced sanctions against the president's inner circle over corruption allegations nicolas maduro is accused of driving up hyperinflation as well as human rights violations trump said millions of people have been turned into refugees and washington could use its military to oust madeira if need be. it's over e-mail that frankly could be tumbled very quickly by the military or the military decides to do that i just want to see you this way great yeah you're on the day. and the lessons are all in every out there you know a place where all that israel is a mess and it's got to be cleaned up and people have to be taken care of the united states has the longest the wrong as history of any country in the entire globe meddling with other people's. affairs and when and when the u.s. i'm goin

experience back then a lot of good from the united states and from the president of the united states because there are no other words to describe the fact that that great state indicated to poland and to find poland as the country who should be a reign stated back on the map of europe and on the back of the world and it was it reinstated on that map one hundred years ago in one thousand nine thousand and. absolutely delighted that today as polish president i can be here in washington state at the same table with the president of the united states and sign an agreement which is deepening our strategic partnership and which is renewing that strategic partnership i'm talking here at the agreement on the strategic partnership such agreement was signed in two thousand and eight and to our countries. a press conference being held right now the white house between the u.s. president on the trump and the polish president dude still speaking as you can see and what trump said just a few moments ago is that he and the polish president discussed energy diversity as well as security in europe an

it is unworthy of the united states senate. there is no way we should have this hearing without having a full fair investigation. there is no way to fairly have this hearing without the corroborating witnesses coming forward as well. what's been proposed is a sham and a mockery of a full senate hearing. i have written a letter today joined by senator leahy and senator jones to done mcgahn, white house counsel, asking him when he first knew about these allegations, what he did to investigate them and what other allegations there may be of a similar nature against judge kavanaugh. he has played a unique role in choosing and vetting judicial nominees. he was the one who recommended rob porter to his position as staff secretary, despite many people knowing about his domestic violence issues. we want to know when he knew about these allegations and what he did to investigate them. second, we want to know when the judge igned by 65 of kavanaugh's former school mates was first started. it appeared, as you recall, the day after the let

it is a deal not with the united states, but with the u.n. security council, plus the european union represented by germany. in trump violated that treaty. he withdrew from it and has put the united states on a war to the extentran members of his a administration are openly admitting that they are the great state. we always took that as an insult. john bolton seems to enjoy that. of course, the iranians don't want to meet with trump. and what good would it do -- does he want to renegotiate the deal that already has taken years and years of diplomacy, and trump just withdrew from it? why wouldn't they expect him to withdraw from the next deal? if you have to make a judgment of who is riright here, it is obviously rouhani. but the other thing to say is that it is dangerous to have somebody who lies like this in charge of we are nuclear power. we're doing diplomacy. we are relationship with other countries. this can go to war. amy: we want to thank you, juan cole, for joining us. professor of history at the university of michigan. his blog, "inf

united states itself, the presence of the u.s. forces in our country is important also to protect american interests. mr. president, once again, thank you very much for this meeting. thank you once again for this joint cooperation that we're able to sign today. thank you for also adding to this your splendor to the poland celebrating independence and 10th anniversary of our strategic partnership. >> thank you. a tremendous amount of lng will be exported to poland. we are giving them a pretty good price. they are buying a lot of it and that's going to be great. >> i do want to say while we are together shown in north carolina, south carolina, virginia and the area that was so horribly hit by hurricane florence. i got some clips of some of the things that the coast guard is doing and getting people to safety and horrible, holler conditions. i want to just salute all of the people that are working so hard, the first responders, the law enforcement. military, fema, the job they are doing is incredible. it's incredible. i just want to

primarily the united states no one in the in the region wants that may be israel. so. i think that it's going to have to appreciate the situation to the united states in at the moment in terms of what their initial objectives costs of course when they went into syria first supporting this. list. this is what i write whatever you want to call it is however it we want to call it but of course the victims were somewhat clear you get rid of assad which is an important ally of iran you do consider annoyance to. and of course the reestablish u.s. mainly the regional of syria thought differently apparently prettily that. but i'm guessing now we have the opposite the iran has more influence there than it had in the past the u.s. a spin largely discredited in the region and of course russia. security provider so you know if you do if you're from egypt or jordan if you want to. within the region from now on you have to also book a flight to moscow so i think that. everything that went for has gone the other way and that's not necessarily a good thing because when you have th

the united states. we do have leverage over the country's whether it is china, japan, korea, canada, mexico -- all of them have to have access to the american market and he is using that leverage to get them to open up their markets to our products and that is pro-american worker and that is what putting america first is all about. host: patricia in iowa, independent line with stephen moore, with the heritage foundation. caller: good morning. first, would like to express my condolences to the mccain family. for mr. moore, i have a real axoblem with the t plans with the middle-class. 1% got 83, but i figured like 80% of that $1.5 ofllion -- that means 4/5 that money went to 3200 people to 316,800ent people. if you can call that a tax break for the middle-class, i find th at astounding. that's what spurs the stock market and other things and to get that passed, they added glucose for corporations to get votes. -- they added loopholes for the corporations to get votes. they did not take any of the loophole
