Conference. Kevin . Stuart, good day to you. Youre right. Were probably pretty close to seeing the secretary general and the president come here. Weve just seen remarks at the podium generally. That means were around two minutes out. So if that happens, i will break free and allow you to listen to the remarks by both men. This is interesting when you compare and contrast with what candidate trump said in the run up to the election. You heard shepard mentioned moments ago, nato appeared to be a punching back. Even in his time in office, the president has been critical of other nation members that have yet to give their fair share into nato funding. Were talking 2 of the gdp. Thats probably the conversation the two men have had. Its important to talk about the expansion of nato. I say this given the conversations with Rex Tillerson and sergey lavrov. He spoke with the russian president today. Keep in mind the russians have considered nato and expansion, a threat to their sovereignty. Wha
Engall, my ranking member, to try to put additional sanctions on putins russia and on iran as a consequence of their support here for assad. Were now bringing that bill up again, and this time i think well get it through the senate, and this time i think well get a president ial signature on it, so i i think everything is moving in the direction of additional sanctions. Russias foreign minister lectured secretary tillerson warning the u. S. Not to conduct any more strikes in syria. Are you at all concerned about a military confrontation with russia over syria . Look, you can see how measured this response was, what effort was taken to make certain that the assets that the were take own out were the Syrian Air Force planes, 23 of them were destroyed. Those planes that were carrying out chemical attacks, and so i i think youre going to concede if you see another chemical attack or a proven sarin gas attack, yeah, then i think youll probably see the president respond. But i think it will
Drive them out of your communities. Di drive them out of your holy land, and drive them out of this earth. The president also pledging today a partnership between the u. S. And muslim nations is battling extremist ideology. And at any moment, trump will deliver another message directed at millennials and teens at a forum on twitter where he is expected to discuss how social media can counter violent extremist ideology online. Jim acosta joining me now from riyadh where he is traveling with the president. So, jim, what should we expect from President Trump in this Twitter Forum that will kick off at any moment . Reporter right, were expecting the president to kick off this Twitter Forum in just a little while from now, hes going to be joined bier Rex Tillerson and our own Counter Terrorism. Hes going to be talking to young people in saudi arabia about their use of twitter and so on. No word yet on whether well get into trumps own twitter use from time to time. He will focus on how twitt
To have dinner with president an he was uneasy because of that because compromising even the optics, appearance of independence, not only of him but of the fbi. And our sources tell us that during that dinner President Trump asked him for a loyalty oath and were told through our sources that he would not afwrie to that and he would agree to an hones honesty. He felt he could be fired considering he didnt consider the loyalty oath and the wiretapping claim and the fall jauted on ought that. He didnt expect it to happen when it happened, wolf. Former director comey thought at least the president would call him or there would be some sort of phone call giving him a headsup. This would be coming, not that he would find out on tv, on the news that he would be fired. Also the source i spoke with said its unlikely former director comey will testify next week in prompt of the Senate Intelligence committee. As you know it has been requested. Hell not respond. Wolf . Its fascinating and very sig
Spun away from greg, pushing them both to the ground. Its unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our Campaign Volunteer barbecue. Msnbc Garrett Haake is in boseman, montana. Part of the problem, garrett, for the candidate isnt just this audiotape. People in the room also contradict the campaigns claim that the reporter is to blame. What can you tell us . Reporter thats right, chris. They mention that in a statement that january ggianforte was gety for an interview with a fox news crew. They wrote up their experience last night and tooled the reporter described what she saw in that room. I myself was standing about two feet from both gianforte and jacobs when this happened. There was a table in between us. I saw gianforte grabbed him by the neck both hands, slid him to the side, body slammed him, and then got on top of him and started punching and then yelling at him. Reporter so legally speaking, this is obviously pretty ugly for gianf
