deal with the united states. donald trump is threatening to pull out of the deal that iran made in which iran agrees not to develop nuclear weapons. exactly what the united states wanted iran to agree to. exactly what the united states would like north korea to agree to. the alternative to war is diplomacy. negotiation. why would anyone in the north korean regime believe today that it is possible to negotiate their way out of this confrontation with the united states? iran tried to do that and look what's happened to them. the president of the united states continues to threaten iran every day and threaten to break its deal with iran. "our job here is not to score debating points." so said our united nations ambassador 55 years ago. and tonight, 55 years later, we have a president of the united states who seems to think that his job, his only job in press conferences, on twitter or at the general assembly of the united nations, is nothing but to score debating points. joining us now, ambassador wendy sherman, for

states with good relationship with the united states, a good alliance with the united states that the united states has our back. the other reason why there's not much discussion of this is that china and russia are considered to be rational actors. they can make a reasonable decision. they're not rogue nations, china and russia are not -- so they have these weapons but they're rational actors and china and russia are basically friendly states to japan and so we have the nuclear deterrence of the united states and we've been able to rely on that so we haven't had to do too much by ourselves, when it comes to north korea, separate from the nuclear issue, we need to think whether they are rational or not. why does north korea want to have nukes? what does it want to have icbm? i imagine they want to maintain the kim dynasty or to ensure the continuation of the regime. i think that's one of the reasons and what will -- what would north korea do with nuclear weapons, i think there's no way they would give up their nuclear weapons and i think it's of course north korea poses a grave challe

channels to talk to the united states. i think this would be a large change in the traditional posture. i think we need to take time and to have more discussion on this. to add to that, there is one thing we can do without spending more money and that is to include japan in american armaments.for example, tomahawk missiles, other armaments. we could have joint operations within the united states. it way would require to send money. but in that regard we would have to lift the political and other obstacles we have had up until now. >> since the general raised the possibility that depending on the discussion toward the new national defense program guidelines and perhaps more specifically on a midterm defense program. there may be a need for some forces to look at how to equip themselves very differently. from the past programs. and we often talked about the -- that reorientation can start from. and i just want, that is actually another question. given that japan is hosting a couple of major international sporting events. 201

the united states is one out of 193 countries in the united nations, and yet we pay 22 percent of the entire budget and more. in fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. the united states bears an unfair cost burden, but, to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment would easily be well worth it. major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell. but the powerful people in this room, under the guidance and auspices of the united nations, can solve many of these vicious and complex problems. the american people hope that one day soon the united nations can be a much more accountable and effective advocate for human dignity and freedom around the world. in the meantime, we believe that no nation should have to bear a disproportionate share of the burden, militarily or financially. nations of the world must take a greater role in promoting secure and prosperous societies in their own regions. that is why in the western hemisphere, the united states has stood against the corrupt and de

the problem is the united states and you have to look at this broadly. be the problem for the rest of the world actually now is the containment of the united states the u.s. used to during the first cold war talk about the containment of the soviet union but no it's the containment of the united states and frankly it always has been. it's an unpredictable regime but there is absolutely no doubt that if north korea hadn't developed nuclear weapons it would have been attacked all the same thing would have happened something similar would have happened to north korea as happened to libya and iraq syria and afghanistan. and i want to play a clip from the house foreign affairs committee who met today regarding sanctions on north korea let's take a listen one of the strategies that the administration is pursuing that bring china to that point where they conclude that it is in their interest to enforce the sanctions because the danger of a conflict on the peninsula is greater than their fear of some alignment by a unified korean peninsula the united states or d

—— mueller. is now toxic in the united states! -- mueller. this is the opinion of mrgraham and people -- mueller. this is the opinion of mr graham and people like him. funny, this is part of the domestic internal game between different political forces in the united states of america. the victory of mr trump has not been accepted via those who have been defeated —— accepted by. this is how they find different explanations to why and how they were defeated. russia was discovered as a very good explanation for that. the head of the national director of intelligence, the caa, james koby at the lead, and i am quoting him —— ci eight, james comey. i am quoting james comey now, there is no doubt that russia was behind the meddling in the presidential election. you could hear the news that all 17 security agencies have taken a certain position it unanimously. later on, it was discovered they do not have 17 security agencies and this was expressed byjust four of them which does not create the final for me. it has nothing to do with presenting

states unlike a sawed who specifically targets his people the united states makes every effort possible to ensure that civilians are not targeted i heard you say that the president trying by launching those missiles was pursuing american national interest and i'm sure you would agree with me that national interest and never need aligned surely the united states and russia. as well as i'm sure may in most of the other countries in the world do have an interest in vital interest in making sure that chemical weapons are not used but there is also an interest in fighting terrorism and many of the groups operating in did live province terrorist groups by america's own admission don't you think that by pursuing one national interest which is related to the chemical weapons the template ministration may have undermined and the other reach is fighting terrorism i think both russia and the united states are fighting a very delicate balance over there unfortunately when the assad regime so four years ago had this civil war break out as a result of how he was treating his people the people that tu

so i'm just for a united spain. i speak as the president of the united states. as somebody that has great respect for your president and also has great -- really great respect for your country. i really think the people of catalonia would stay with spain. i think it would be foolish not to. you're talking about staying with a truly great, beautiful and very historic country. prime minister rajoy: we would be delaying the budget and parliament because we think that when we submit the budgets, we'll need the support. to approve them. we're talking with different political parties. a lot of people have problems as we continue to work down the line. i don't think we'll have any problems in approving them within a reasonable time frame. we are looking for a majority, just like we did last time around when we voted the budget. at any rate, i'm not thinking at all about calling early elections. of what we've been saying. president trump: mr. president, thank you very much. thank you. >> if you missed any of the press conference, you can find it on c-span.org. earlier i

states and the main would say is the credibility of the united states i mean when president trump now says i decided to suspend the trade with countries that trade with north korea what does it mean if you're going to suspend trade ties with china which is six hundred fifty billion dollars per year or maybe india is a little so that is a blow to the u.s. reputation to that of the u.s. foreign policy if russia had. be in such a bad country you know it would rejoice but i don't think so because russia does not want to defeat what damage the united states or russia wants to defeat the i do all the job change and that ideology is the same in the united states in western europe in central europe i mean with our songs after all this is the new key that is basically keeping him cost each with you know the situation you are always absolute right that's right there's really no cost so there's no charges one of them is there any more lions all the e.u. in the former soviet union ukraine is now going to introduce legislation that would make it a criminal offense for the ukrainian officials to vi

the united states is an example. the country had more than enough with its own problems during the 20th century. from the very beginning, from the revolution, certainly through the devastation of the second world war in russia, but still held on to its ideological principles, voluntarily insulating itself, isolating itself, from developments that could be enormously beneficial for the russian people that were taking place elsewhere. it's very hard to explain that if you don't use the ideologyol motive. and on the same time with regard to the united states -- i was just writing about the u.s. relationship with latin america. some people whoa that as an example to point in the direction you mentioned. what is special about the u.s. relationship with lat latin america, always about economic preponderance and u.s. political influence of the southern neighbors. so the latter is most definitely true. what is specific, what it special, is the form this took during the cold war, which in many ways was entirely counterproduct

president of the united states of america. i'm pleased to speak to you on the occasion -- >> are you okay? >> good evening. this is ronald reagan. president of the united states of america. i'm pleased to speak to you on the occasion of the new year. on behalf of the american people, i wish you all a happy and healthy new year. let's work together to make it a year of peace. there is no better goal for 1986 or for any year. let us look forward to a future of -- for all mankind. thank you. >> you say it better than i do, but it sounded as if it had a "t" in it. >> yeah. >> fascinating stuff. ais i'm joined by cnn presidential historian. tim, tell us more about this documentary. there's a lot of video that was shot by the reagan white house and it shows us the behind the scenes glimpse at the president we just never saw before. like that clip where the president is practicing his new year's address to the "ussr." what do you make of this documentary? >> i think it's a great look at ronald reagan. you know, it's valuable because

he talks about drawing the united states into world, the united states won't be able to handle it. and in the end we'll be defeated. if we lose in afghanistan, what we're saying to the whole islamy jihadi movement and bin laden was right, we can't hack it. that would stand as a kind of proof of divine sanction for their side. if you don't think we're going to pay a heavy price for helping them prove god's on their side, i think you need to think again. >> most afghans wanted the best for their country. and there were many afghans who put their life on it line to help us. and that'll be for people to come after me in my career to go after the next generation of heroin traffickers. but haji's not doing it anymore. >>> mexico is a country where every day people fight to live. all too often they lose that battle. the magnificent heart breakingly beautiful country. the music and food at a uniquel

we need the fight these terrorists with the united states. and we are not able to acquire those weapons from the united states. why are you giving weapons to those terrorists is the question we ask our friends in the united states? >> woodruff: the united states, as you know very well, has been saying it depends on the syrian kurds to lead the fight, be an important part of the fight against isis. so are you saying, unless the u.s. stops working with the syrian kurds, that is a deal breaker in a relationship between turkey and the u.s., or is there some accommodation here possible? >> well, we should not mix one thing with another. first and foremost, this issue has got nothing to do with kurds. we're just talking about terrorist organizations. some of the kurds in the northern parts of syria are involved in terrorism, and they are to be called terrorists. and some of them are moderate, and they have positive relations with turkey, and they defend to maintain those positive relations via turkey. both of them should not be confused with anothe

the united states with an i.c.b.m. which the americans cannot shoot down charles briefly don't respond to the. yes robert. i support your discussions your comments about engagement absolutely there is still a chance but i have to say in china's case bringing more american weapons or ships and planes to chinese waters or chinese border is nothing nothing new for china thirteenth fleet has been there for a long long time china has been surrounded by the first island chain i don't think it makes much difference if you bring a couple more nuclear carriers over the key for china is stability stability so countries in the region can grow as for sunni's discussion about all china must do more and that there will be a nuclear arms race it comes back to my point whether or not there will be a nuclear arms race in north asia. will also depend on whether or not they you want us want them to have also not china and the us ok on that let me ask young cornett in seoul i think the defense minister in south korea recently said the u.s

the united states had defeated saddam, and the united states had removed the taliban in afghanistan, two of iran's main rivals at the time. and in the process they head weakened-to-the point it was increasingly difficult for it to uphold the policy of isolating iran. instead what we saw was iran was unleashed. but as long as the united states contained -- refused negotiations and refused to recognize iran this, iranians could not lock in this new favorable geopolitical circumstance. what they needed was a crisis, something that would force the united states to the table, and that would enable negotiations that by definition would cause the united states to end its policy of regime change and come to terms with iraq. iranians wanted this recognition for very same reason the israelis did not want to see iran get the wreck nation. that recognition would put an end to decades of american policy of isolating iran. now, ironically, the iranians and the israelis actually used the same instrument to be able to achieve their objective which was the iranian nuclear program. from the israeli pe

what should the united states be most concerned about? guest: we should be concerned about individuals in the united states copying what they've seen in europe, berlin, barcelona, london, multiiple lo cages. vehicle ramming. the late spokesman of isis, if you can't attack, if you can't to syria and iraq, attack with your foot, with a knife, a punch, a kick, a vehicle. so we've seen the art of the possible inside of europe. israel, for example, where to s individual with a car can ram people. you're never going to know until the last second. these individuals don't usually , including sign probably 4-5,000 europeans under the visa waiver program and, can travel to the united states. that doesn't mean they want in without someone spotting them. and congress is looking at them. essential towards our economy and culture and family ties but it is a potential vulnerability with so many europeans having gone to fight that sis and having passports. host: would you say it's a icing? or not? what does that prove for the u.s.? >> certainly isis is m

we are the ones responsible for the conversation, not thete president of the united states. we had the authorization from congress, so mr. president, it is our responsibility to make sure when our men and women are sent into harms way, they have the direct authorization from the congress of the united states unless there is an urgent conversation to act so i would urge my colleagues we have a chance to start this debate right here and now by supportint the amendment, and i intend to do that.ment support of the statement from my colleague he knows as i know our responsibilities as the united states senator include important votes. certainly any vote involving sending america into war is a vote we will never forget at least not this senator and many of the votes i cast for the years in the house and the senate created sleepless nights before the vote because you understand even under the best of circumstances, people will die as the result of your vote, not just the enemy tha but evenf own risk their lives and died in defense of the united states and so it was 9/11, 2001 when

first of all the the the fuse is now with the united states to fuse is with north korea and north korea has continued to violate numerous u.n. admonishments as to not continuing with this nuclear capability they have broken several agreements with the united states they have continued to test. no other six tests for nuclear bomb apparently they've developed the. the hydrogen bomb in a period they have the i.c.b.m. and so it's not a question of just exposes these the growth of the nuclear weapon system in north korea was saying that the united states has a short fuse i'm not sure i understand where you're going to miss some of the if it's not really surprising for anyone to see that north korea continues to violate international law there is no dispute disagreement on that i think internationally but i think we have never had an american president who would express his displeasure over that in such an abrasive way i'm put the military option so squarely on the table doesn't that make you a little bit worried i'm always worried whenever somebody is about to become a new nuclear power. but

united states on this issue. now, i was a diplomat for 31 years. i learn to spot amber lights a long, long time ago. this was one flashing amber light. so this is not an issue which will divide us and europe in any serious way. and on sanctions, raj is right that mr. putin felt sanctions would not hold. i can tell you on the basis of many, many conversations and a lot of analysis that if we were to provide weapons, some countries in europe would fuss. it would not have an impact on policy, and it would not have an impact -- i'll put it another way, it would not change european sanctions policy. that policy is firm. six months ago or seven months ago before all the elections in europe, maybe it was possible to think about sanctions easing. but after the dutch election, after the french election, and what i think will be chancellor merkel's big victory on sunday, this is not a question. >> ambassador? >> just briefly, first i would say there was a big strategic mistake by putin, it was annexing crimea. not only in

>> to understand the unit did states. rib curve here is thing to do make rational decisions somebody needs to counter their own. we have left policy through the united states. and then just deal with a couple of missiles. we need to have betterwith a inspiration gathering, renaissance. >> and what to do so it isn't easy one answer to those questions going forward. >> to put this into perspective march of this year, there was a discussionibi to have that capability to strike and the discussion focused on long-distance missiles but one large issue that is if japan had to are itself that is a huge change be in our posture -- posture you'd have more surveillance and information gathering and what type of weaponry or platform? this is what is necessary but i have to start all over it our approach. to have a large change of our traditional posture. and then to have more discussion on this.include with the american and armaments. joint ope we could have a joint operations but even other obstacles we have had up until now. >> and

of course the united states should be first but the united states is not the only country that would be affected obviously by north korea -- south koreans would be affected mostly and have the most to lose and the most danger in their path. >> julie: we are watching the united nations, the president is watching emac walking into a luncheon that will be hosted by the secretary general of the united states and we will continue to watch that. rex tillerson also expected to attend. while we watch this developing live, the presidents tough warnings inevitably will be falling on deaf ears. kim jong un will probably be empowered by his tough message and launch more missiles anyway. in a speech he does praise russia and china for signing onto that resolution recently, he says more needs to be done. what do you think china and russia took away from the president's speech today? president trump is entering the room now, we have nikki haley following right behind him. leslie just mentioned, this is not war rhetoric, you don't normally hear warmongering being smoking at the united nations. this

call the united states a l.a. of england and france. the u.s. was a associated power. the idea was the united states could be sort of a umpire between germany and the allies in sort of a mediator even when the u.s. was in the war. hoover for his part was area dedicated to keeping the own independence of action. constraint free from and what was in the best interest for everybody. rather than being tied to the allies. given all of this and this commonality and their political given what he had done for the administration and his toal political efforts wilson during the congressional election of 1918. when they had suspected him to support hoover for president in 1920. when hoover returned from europe in late 1919 there was every speculation in the press that he would run for president. having not just from republicans but also late 1920 time. most of the speculation came from democrats. sympathetic to the republican party. there was this reflection of the movement. they were very enthusiastic about this and early 1

states and its neighbors because it does not want the united states or the country's to bother north countries to bother north korea. my question goes like this -- when do you think the united states should do anything in regards to north korea having a nuclear weapon? should we wait until they attacked south korea, japan, the united states, or until they provide other nuclear weapons to areas, not necessary states? guest: some good points. first, on china. china is north korea's only ally, only the factor i like an friend in the world -- de facto ally or friend in the world. what they do believe is they have something of a buffer stage in the north korean state, and they are not interested in seeing a greater presence of naval forces in their neighborhood. as i have said before, they are interested in having north koreans controlled, that would be fine for them, and having the peninsula divided is probably not something the chinese would worry about, but they are worried about this situation will get out of control. there was situation not long ago, contrary to what you suggested, t

united states has been has and also very. resistant to accept the proposal so i think if united states specially donald trump who actually when he was running for president he said that he's going he's willing to. implement new policy he criticizes you know the obama's hardline policy and he even proposed a hamburg diplomacy with north korea i think tomorrow if present trump. agreed then support the china the proposal the china and russia support and many other leaders support i think that we can avoid this catastrophic. outcome so i think that it's again up to the united states that can prevent a really catastrophic consequence. a russian couples under arrest for allegedly killing and eating their victims it's all next news after the break. telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks for the tell you that every gossip and tabloid but for years they. tell me you are not pulling out. all the hawks that we all love walking. all over again news from

states and bring the united states up to their border. henry kissinger wrote a thoughtful op-ed in the "wall street journal" where he said, in essence, the united states just can't ask china to do what's in the interest of the united states. there has to be in essence a diplomatic joint venture down the road between beijing and washington, closely intertwined with the governments in japan and south korea, where the four of us would have a diplomatic agreement to try to coerce and leverage the north koreans to get them to negotiate. that would entail very painful compromises for the united states because the chinese and the russians, you asked about them earlier, they'd asked the united states to curtail military exercises with south korea, to get commitments that we would not seek the overthrow of a north korean regime and the administration's been trying to reassure madison tillerson, the north koreans of that recently. it's only that kind of sophisticated diplomatic campaign that's probably going to pay off, get us to the table and try

folks saying they feel forgotten by the united states, demanding and begging help from the united states having to remind this government that they are americans. where is the navy? make sure you get us the help you need. he has been criticized for not paying attention to puerto rico sending off more than a dozen tweets about the nfl and all but ignoring puerto rico until last night since that hurricane hit. in alabama, the man he endorsed for senate down there. not doing well in the polls. donald trump doesn't want to talk about that. what happens if roy moore wins down there. this is not someone that donald trump endorsed and then there is health care. they tried again to get health care passed. republicans did. the president made a strong push at least on twitter to try and bully his way into forcing his republican senators to vote yes on this bill focussing a lot of attention, frankly on senator john mccain. we just heard a moment ago that health care is now pretty much off the table again. they are going to delay a vote. senator cassidy saying they don't have the votes. it will be p

he as a representative of the united states government it's not. so valerie i want to talk about what the major concerns are for washington of course you've heard what iranians in iran think of that speech here is what u.s. president donald trump had to say at iran at the u.n. g.a. we cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles and he not abide by the agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program so lots of things in there that may or may not actually have to do with the deal itself so take us back to the one on one with the twenty fifteen agreement it is now twenty seventeen and clearly there are people out there who don't quite understand what the deal was about missiles and destabilizing activities how does the how do they relate sure so the nuclear agreement itself which was announced in july two thousand and fifteen focuses specifically on iran's nuclear program and broadly speaking what it does is it requires iran to restrict certain aspects of tho

trump's definition of stewardship in the united states is the former. it's the fiduciary duty of someone who understands real estate deals. >> sometimes and maybe with iran that would be okay, but climate change, that's where this transactional approach is short. he looks at one deal and says this is not in our interest, we're out, whereas the broader multi-laterallism in the u.n. epitomizes that's the best thing that's come up. >> rose: two ideas over the weekend, maybe the united states may be relooking at the paris accord. h.r. mcmaster suggested that's possible in this weekend interview. same thing about suggesting also they wouldn't necessarily withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. >> i think certainly the latter is plausible and possibly the former but the interesting thing is -- and there is clearly a move from a lot of bombast at the beginning of the administration, creating uncertainty, what was going to happen, what was the unilateralist america first approach. amongst the u.n. delegates in the world broadly, there's a sense that actually there

the united states is ready, willing and able. incredibly strong statement from the president warning the north korean regime. he also warned other what he called rogue regimes, including iran. he spoke of radical islamic terrorism, went after venezuela, but gloria, let's talk about north korea for a moment. this was -- the president has often said tough things about north korea, but in front of this world body, to say the north korean regime is on a suicide mission, kim jong-un, rocket man, and the u.s. is ready to totally destroy north korea if necessary to protect u.s. security. >> well look, i think you would have to say at the very least this is an unambiguous speech the president delivered before a body that very often is not -- speaks in softer tones. you know, this was donald trump saying we have no choice but to totally destroy you if you're on this suicide mission. he also did the same with iran. he said we cannot let a murderous regime continue, these destabilizing activities. he said -- he said we will stop radical isl

whatever the united states decision is in the next couple weeks about certifying or not that iran is in compliance with the deal won't necessarily mean that the united states is pulling out of it i think the united states has several decision points several cards to play and i think it will be a little cautious itself about pulling out of the deal what it might do is impose additional sanctions and hope that iran poses out of the deal and both sides might hope the other side pose out. you know doing in a knowledge meant that is there another potential corral or a here and it's this that the other european powers we've pushed for this who have that that strategy of distant engagement they might end up looking a little bit weak up. well i'm not quite certain there would be that we could have because as was pointed out there that it was essential to go state of between the united states and iran that's true but it had been sort of facilitated by the european union and very much supported by russia and china and it's indoors unanimously by the u.n. security council so it is an internatio

the united states is the only home that she knows. when i met audrey, she was worried about the debate about immigration and immigration policy. the debate that we have been having in washington since -- mostly since january of this year was causing great fear and uncertainty in her community. audrey's obviously concerned about the immigration debate and in particular what happens with daca. she has worked with church world services, an organization that helps resettle hundreds of refugees each year in pennsylvania. they provide services to help new arrivals adjust to their new home and become successful members of local neighborhoods. audrey is now a student at american university pursuing her master's degree, a master's degree in international development of course after getting college education as well. this is america. this is who we are as a nation. when young people like audrey have a chance to work hard and to succeed, to get an education, to contribute to the american economy and to the fabric of our society. we're a country

reinforce the united states position. in a short time sense the tonkin gulf incident, american naval power rapidly expands from a supporting role to a full-fledged naval task force. embodied in the forces of the united states seventh fleet is almost every facet of modern naval power. cruisers like the uss canberra are built for fast speeds and long endurance. the destroyer, indispensable to any naval action, is the workhorse of the fleet. the uss bainbridge, a destroyer leader, is largest of the destroyer class. the world's first nuclear powered guided missile frigate. both cruisers and destroyers, in addition to their traditional deep water rolls, have been called upon to play a special role in vietnam. >>. tacoma this is gamma 2 6 charlie. target number 206 bearing 1 3 -- narrator: whenever the need arises, ships in the seventh fleet arrived on the coast of vietnam. take directions from a spotter who is in visual contact with the enemy. >> fire for effect, over. >>[explosions] narrator: this is naval gunfire support. a

is it indeed possible that the united states might not withdraw? >> so what the president has said is that we're withdrawing from the paris accord. he left the door open to reentering if there can be a better deal for the united states. the president's objection to paris was not the objection to the environment or the climate. in fact, he made a pledge, if you go back to his speech, he said we're renewing our commitment to have the cleanest air, cleanest water. but that -- that -- agreement was not good for the environment. it gave the biggest polluters, the biggest carbon emitters a free ride. and so, we also want to emphasize, real energy, energy security, and then also, clean fossil fuels. clean fossil fuels can continue to lift millions out of poverty around the world. so what the president wants is a more effective approach to energy and the climate. >> right. the but was very clear in the statement. he said the united states will withdraw. that withdrawal can't take place before 2020. if you can renegotiate better terms before 2020, the unite

her mother brought her to the united states nearly 20 years ago. diana studied history at pomona college in california, and she recently received a master's degree of divinity from the harvard divinity school, and she hopes to become a u.s. citizen. diana literally wants to do god's work here on earth. daca has provided diana with more than a million -- and more than a million other young immigrants safety, security, dignity, respect, and opportunity. these are young people who played, studied, worked, and live next door to us each and every day. so what does a repeal of daca mean for the dreamers and for our country? it means bad news for our economy. many of these dreamers have started their own businesses and are beginning their careers. over the course of the past five years of the program, 91% of the dreamers have found gainful employment. removing daca recipients from the work force will reduce our gross domestic product by more than $460 billion over a decade and would cut contributions to medicare and social security by more than $24 billio

the united states was trying to isolate the united states and convince people that all of the talk from china about wanting to pursue peace was a centrifuge. during the 70's, i think one of the arguments i make in the book is that nixon -- i think i come across as being surprisingly pro-nixon and kissinger in this book. it was not my intention. but i do think that opening china was a very important moment that changed the world. and i think what nixon understood, he understood the importance of status to china in a way that his predecessors did not. when he reached out to china he really found ways that china could seek rapprochement with the united states while theining its status in third world. there are interesting conversations between kissinger and the chinese, where chinese would make these strong pro-afro-asian anti-imperialist statements in the united nations. and kissinger would say yeah, we realize you have to do that, because you need to maintain credibility in the third world. want toinger and nixon china to maintain their credibility in the third world at this point becaus

so i'm just for a united spain. i speak as the president of the united states. as somebody that has great respect for your president and also has great -- really great respect for your country. i really think the people of catalonia would stay with spain. i think it would be foolish not to. you're talking about staying with a truly great, beautiful and very historic country. prime minister rajoy: we would be delaying the budget and parliament because we think that when we submit the budgets, we'll need the support. we're talking with different political parties. a lot of people have problems as we continue to work down the line. i don't think we'll have any problems in approving them within a reasonable time frame. we are looking for a majority, just like we did last time around when we voted the budget. at any rate i'm not thinking at all about calling early elections. as a result what have we were saying. president trump: mr. president, thank you very much. thank you.

unless we see and witness a change in positions of the united states of america. when the united states government in very transparently speaks of aim of regime change in iran, talking in bilateral fashion becomes very meaningless. in the current atmosphere i do not see the current requirements for such a meeting. >> the trump administration representatives, president in new york, and they are putting iran essentially in the same basket as north korea, portraying both countries as a threat to stability and peace and calling on the world to act. how do you feel when you hear iran and north korea spoken about in the same breath? >> translator: it is very incorrect to say such a thing. north korea has said in very straightforward manner that i seek nuclear weapons. it tests nuclear weapons. there is nothing hidden in north korea, north korea a country who today is in the nuclear club and has nuclear weapons. iran is completely the opposite point. >> despite tough words united states has certified iran's compliance with the deal before and scheduled for next report in

the united states is one out of 193 countries in the united nations. and yet we pay 22% of the entire budget and more. in fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. the united states bares an unfair cost burden. but to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment would easily be well worth it. major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell. but the powerful people in this room under the guidance and hospices of the united nations can solve many of these vicious and complex problems. the american people hope that one day soon the united nations can be a much more accountable and effective advocate for human dignity and freedom around the world. in the meantime, we believe that no nation should have to bare a disproportionate share of the burden, militarily or financially. nations of the world must take a greater role in promoting secure and prosperous societies in their own regions. that is why in the western hemis fare the united states has stood agai
