Time. >> reporter: and president trump said that he did not believe that this weekend was the right time to meet with irans foreign minister at the g7. but he may have another chance. emmanuel macron, frances president, is working to broker another meeting between president trump and iran in the next few weeks, erica. >> well be watching for that. abby, thank you. as you take stock of everything we just heard from the president, the president when asked about his chaotic messaging with china a...

>> well, i think what jonathan said was spot on that hes seen this as a negotiation tactic. that they think the worse they can show the conditions at the border the more congress will be moved to provide funding. when they provide funding theyre asking for detention space across the board so when the president teases things like mass i.c.e. raids its not clear. is that detention space going to be used to alleviate the suffering of children or going to be used in order to hold immigrants who are ...

Not a negotiation tactic. i think that was sort of a reason that it was invented after these were canceled but that was not the big discussion they had when they decided to call off the raids that this would somehow pressure democrats to bring them to the table. >> so jonathan, the president made news with a couple of quick tweets over the weekend and this is one of them. any insight into why? >> this is something they have been talking about, and do want to do, and part of the tougher -- the ra...

Because of the unaccompanied minors that come across the border. but it really is not touching border security. i get that there may be a negotiation tactic to pull back a little bit there but i also believe that the men and women of i.c.e. and border patrol put their lives on the line every day to defend this nation. they are still out there doing their job. what they need is a congress that can step up and do their job and provide the resources that they need. eric: the president left this mor...

We made preparations not to come back home. this is not the normal way of doing business when the national security councils make this kind of decision when the president says go, lives are on the line and it is not usually used as a negotiation tactic that appears the president is doing in this case. >> i want to go back to that for a second, the map, i would like you to help us understand the term asymmetric air force. there are questions whether we can hit all of the nuclear targets there som...

Done until this occurred. even if the times is accurate and they probably are in saying a number of the things we are committed to by the administration and by the mexican government, nothing yet was final. how about this analysis? if today we woke up and the tariffs were being imposed, i think most would be saying his negotiation tactic failed. the reverse needs to be true. >> i was working friday night and the coverage was will the president get what he really wanted which was the safe third c...

Number one. number two, i do think this last week underscores the complete lack of anything like a normal policy process. the president announced this trade war and threat against mexico in a tweet right before he left for a week long european vacation essentially, cavorting with the queen of england, speaking at a commemorative ceremony in normandy. and his only standards for this trade war and what mexico can do to avert it was he said they should stop all illegal immigration and illegal drugs...

Speaking at a commemorative ceremony in normandy. and his only standards for this trade war and what mexico can do to avert it was he said they should stop all illegal immigration and illegal drugs coming into the united states. well, thats not exactly a very rational demand. >> yeah. >> so, you know, the whole thing was sort of a theater. >> ive got to ask you, while we have you, the truth about trump, michael dantonio, was this bluffing, tough negotiation tactic, was it the art of the deal, wh...

Increment of 5% i think they think it could be very costly. >> and senate republicans have gone out on a limb, republicans in congress in general, for the president on tariffs under -- under the pretense that this is a negotiation tactic. that seems to be what the white house message has been on this for the last two years, and so to see them now being asked or being demanded of them to defend tariffs as an immigration strategy, it really is -- is a bridge too far. i talked to a republican strat...

Policy. it also may be that some of this is faint and negotiation tactic. is there a good cop bad cop situation going on in which he has no problem with john bolton going out there and saying tougher things while he the president pulls it back a little bit. he once tweeted not long ago it keeps everybody confused. people are confused about american foreign policy. he thought it was a good thing because he likes being unpredictable. foreign policy officials dont like unpredictableability. they li...
