You know, what he chooses. i cant affect that in any kind of way. but in terms of the pressure campaign when we talk about it working, part of that from the u.n. security council resolution that we believe will help remove about $1 billion worth of exports, money that would go into the pockets of the north korean regime. that money, by the way, does not get used to feed its own people. we know people in that nation, north koreans, are starving. the money there that goes into north korea does not...

Follow through on these sanctions and we want everyone else to do it as well. its a new tone coming from china. and we basically said enough talk. were done. and you have the ability to control 90% of their trade and you cant make excuses anymore. to their credit, they stepped up. we did some heavy negotiations. we got them there. >> bret: to ambassador haleys credit, she got a unanimous vote at the united nations security council. is it a new tone from china and are we seeing possibly the begin...

What i think is a reasonably coherent strategy. the administration had a win over the weekend at the u.n. by getting the chinese and the russians to sign on to very tough sanctions resolution. now with this new war of words, weve pushed off of that strategy seems to me and tried to go back to threats, which are only going to get the north koreans to pursue their weapons programs and missile program more aggressively. so i think we should lower the temperature a bit and get back to what the secre...

Moving towards submarine potential launches and we saw that. now we have him vowing all this revenge. and how do you defend against a country? can they launch against south korea? will they launch against japan? do they dare to take on china with those anticipate weapons? literally there is the potential of millions dying >> they can rattle their rusty sabres, and what theyve been trying to do ever since the facilitation of their weapons programs by the clinton white house and then the obama whi...

Is time you cut that out. he made the same case in thailand earlier today, that is a country where north korea has an embassy, a country the state department says has very lax visa rules, allowing north korean officials to go in and set up shell companies there, all of that to playing into that this diplomacy rex tillerson is conducting right now. >> jon: as ominous as this news is as concerned as we are, it is even more concerning for the immediate neighborhood, places like south korea, japan a...

They tore up the deal. >> right. north korea has a ph.d. in fleecing the united states and its allies for inducements to give up its weapons programs knowing they are not going to do that. thats why strong robust sanctions campaign like we had with iran, that could be very short-term. its up to the united states how far to turn this dial. you know, secretary tillerson talked about a dial. you can turn it to 11 pretty quick if thats what the trump administration decides to do. >> jon: all right. ...

Daily beast. gordon, its great to have you here. lifting off where bill just ended, theyre getting threatened. the chinese are saying stop what youre doing, the u.s. is saying stop what youve doing. theyve imposed sanctions. how do sanctions work in this scenario and can they stop north korea from expanding its nuclear arsenal? >> well, i think sanctions can stop the north koreans, but not these sanction. i mean, these sanctions, for instance, lopped a third off of north koreas export being in, ...

Reluctantly signing their bill laying new sanctions on russia. it had almost unanimous tomorrow on capitol hill, but mr. trump took issue with one thing above all, the bill prevents him from undoing sanctions against moscow without congressional approval. he says thats a mistake because it limits his ability to strike good deals for the american people. the sanctions target russian energy and defense sectors. there are also penalties for banks and foreign governments working with north korea. an...

They do think the united states needs to do, conduct mind their own business, mined it hard as ive been saying and that means nuclear war games with nato, reassuring her allies, expanding missile-defense protecting our space assets. doing things that we need to do even if the russians objected that. thats what we need to do and certainly we need to especially play close attention to the baltic states. they are worried and concerned and it is because of being neglected and being undermined by the...
