weight. very good point monica and if he wants to bring a message of peace and prosperity he better stop talking about how big his button is and make sure he doesn t start a trade war he s been slapping tariffs on products from certain countries and also talking about withdrawing from one deal after the next saying that he wants a better deal for the united states and says that he should get investments from other countries that other countries should be investing in the in the united states while being disadvantaged by tariffs on their exports it s a strange situation it s almost as if the rest of the world doesn t exist or as if the us is in a bubble some analysts have said that trump could actually give quite a refreshing reality check to the global elites here in davos we are some people what they think. well i hope he s going to reach out to the wider world this hasn t
somehow he has information that the rest of the world doesn t have? well, clearly, not a coffee boy. what it tells you is that the russians had a very sophisticated intelligence operation under way here. all good intelligence operations don t just start at the tomorrow. th top. they start ot the bottom. and they work their way up through the system. and clearly, he was approached in london, because he was one of many ways the russians were looking to get into the trump campaign, and into a position of influence here. now, what we do know is that when he did actually meet donald trump and others at one meeting that you ve seen photographs of, he was urging a meeting between trump and vladimir putin. then candidate trump. and the president of russia.
to answer to us. this is a great get for netanyahu, what did president trump ask for in return, was there anything? i don t think there was a quid pro quo. to be fair, one of the things that s done, it has demonstrated unmistaken being to the israeli public that this president recognizes israeli needs in a way that in the sense responds to what s important to israel even if the rest of the world doesn t like it. that scores political point, that creates a bond, crashes a threshold and makes it harder for israeli government to resist what the administration may ask to present peace plan. it s true there wasn t a quid pro quo per se but there s something that i think allows us to gain more with israelis and that may yield a benefit when the administration presents. important political point that the president is now fulfilled and other campaign promise which is always good thing to have. ambassador ross, thank you for
despite the fact that the president of the united states has targeted iran for what could be a long-term sort of tug-of-war here. hopefully doesn t result in to war. saying with that agreement that we signed with them with barack obama couple of years back, just ain t holding water with him. an outcry from the international community, outcry from iran, outcry from a lot of people who are big at outcries except those in the corner of wall and broad and all of these guys who saw stocks and riches soar. what do they see that maybe the rest of the world doesn t see or the rest of the world is fearing? kevin cork at the white house, what are you seeing? neil, good to speak to you from the emerald city, one of my favorite places in america. here s what is going on. the president defiance of world leaders says this iran nuclear deal is not going the way i expect it to go, not going the way the american government and the american people would hope it would go. he has choeen not to recertify
everybody home and pretending the rest of the world doesn t exist but understanding that for eight years there was a leadership vacuum and that s got to be cleaned up and that puts us at risk. a quarter of the troops that were killed in iraq were done by iran. the destabilizing force going on in syria right now as they are popping up bashar al-assad and murdering hundreds of thousands of syrians and you look at the threat of israel and the intent by iran to create a crescent all the way to the border of israel. these are serious issues that put americans overseas at risk and emboldens terrorist that put americans at home at risk. harris: let s talk about what those 60 days look like with you and members of congress. where do you start, when does it start? i don t know, it s going to be interesting to see. it s going to be something we need to get on right away. we need to begin the preparations for bringing back sanctions in the hope that in the process, europe, iran and everybody
