Theres i had the news continues here on their off the inside story with come out santa maria. Here is a very important source of information for many people around the world. Have gone im still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. America is in the game and america is going to win so said donald trump in a major policy announcement on National Security but by singling out russia and china how will these plans for u. S. National security affect its International Standing this is inside story. Hello everyone im kemal sons and maria we know it is all about America First but Donald Trumps latest announcement on National Security has showed he still has a wary eye on the International Stage most notably china and russia yes iran and north korea are still seen as threats but china and russia trump says they are competition this was all part of the unveiling of trumps National Security strategy in a speech in washington on monday in it he criticized pasta administrations for. Not looking out for the interests of american citizens and made it clear that his way forward would involve competing with other countries rather than cooperating with them as much in the president s own words quote we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for a country like we have never stood up before but in putting America First other countries were also put on notice here is donald trump on china and russia. We will attempt to build a Great Partnership with those and other countries but in a manner that always protects our National Interest but while we seek such opportunities of cooperation we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for our country like we have never stood up before or me or you may find that we are all willing to work with the u. S. To build a strong stable and sound bilateral economic relationship it is in line with the two countries interests and the expectation of the International Community and with that here is the panel for today starting in london within their g eight parma who is the chairman of the Obama Research network and a professor of International Relations at City University in london in birmingham scotland as a professor of International Politics at the university of birmingham and in lubbock texas all of the media professor at Texas Tech University a former assistant secretary for transportation gentlemen we welcome all three of you to inside story what id sometimes like to do on this program is start with one question to all of you and just get a quick fire response from each of you so that question basically is was there anything know chablis different in this speech given that it was a policy speech it was a strategy speech or was it a continuation of the Campaign Rhetoric indrajit will start with you i think theres a definite whiff of the Campaign Rhetoric but theres also in the strategy itself quite clear a commitment to kind of the u. S. Global leadership. Looking for threats and enemies and i think has identified what you said russia and china and others as well and i think that suggests that theres going to be a run ping up of hard American Power as opposed to any kind of soft power so the use of corporate economic power to get what america wants transactionally as well as the use of military power. The beefing up of military forces thats i think is the biggest takeaway for as far as i can see particularly from the National Security strategy document itself ok all points will come back to show at least scott lucas your early thoughts nothing new in the document itself weve been here before and terms of confronting strategic competitors like china and russia for example in the george w. Bush administration before nine eleven what was new is the man delivering it is town weve got a biscuits a friendly here that donald trump actually believes that lot of reporting of russia is his very good friend wants to rely on russia and that is very much at a very much at odds with a document that he probably hasnt read but was presenting yesterday and all of them again your thoughts this is about the russia and china games can two nixons china games i think hes talking about the topic of speed speed for technology in science and technology to match the speed of the growing economy at six trillion dollars of wealth plus or trillion dollars hes going to repeat create back or in short the United States making about a ten Million Dollar wealth enterprise and hes saying that Economic Security of the United States is Global Security for the nation states around the world all over all stay with you now that weve gotten thoughts from all three of you and just start to pick out some of the things which donald trump said in his speech i noticed he said quote we are engaged in a new era of competition and this was the would he use particularly with china and russia was to define it that it wasnt saying theyre their enemies as such but they are our competition whats whats new about this era of competition that wasnt a year ago two years ago three years ago china has been basically involved in a global competition of growth very very large growth and the United States has decided to get into that game very very aggressively right now sitting at about three point three percent growth and hes going to push this economy after he passes his tax reform. Within today or tomorrow into a four percent five percent growth model that puts him at at the top three modern presidencies in growth since truman and this economy hasnt seen anything like that before what were going to be seeing is a rapid fire of building to domestic enterprise with Homeland Security with Infrastructure Development inside america and then once we build the crumbling infrastructure a Strong America is a secure america but also a Strong America its a more secure world and thats really what hes saying in the behind the words in the strategy inside this speech on monday is that not a bit isolationist all of and thats something were going to address more later still. Trump is coming that she will in a spirit of cooperative both cooperation and competition and thats a very very hyper competitive Market Driven type of approach to National Security he says that if we have the wealth then we can afford to be able to do regional type of nasa security not nation building nation state building but looking at controlling and at the same time if securing the peace in regions hes also looking at a group like growing korea which is beginning to get into the nuclear game and he needs to control that between china and russia so thats very very important for him to do that and thats going to cost money to the United States the United States is not going to be the indispensable nation as Madeleine Albright presented its going to be a nation that is looking at every Regional Strategies for its national and interNational Security driven by a very very strong economic currency not only on the dollar now when we have a twenty four thousand plus market going to twenty five thousand by the end of this year but also look at new networks types of currencies in the big come market which is now pushing beyond twenty thousand were changing how we do money but also were also changing how we do the guns because ultimately. Bulk of the present truck is the National Security instrument and its about the guns and money ok scott lets bring you back in all of his laid out an argument that he used and interesting with the coop cooperative and i think it was is it more one all of the the other what do you make of that argument or again if you cut through all of his Campaign Rhetoric he proves my point cooperative competition was the exact phrase used by congolese arise back in two thousand and two thousand and one this idea that in a post cold war world we werent necessarily you know always enemies of the russians or the chinese but we were going to be competing with them so theres nothing new there. What is different is what oliver is done is hes presented a Campaign Speech which is more about the u. S. Economy and thats the idea of oh donald trump is the one whos going to preside over unparalleled Economic Economic growth the stock markets going to be wonderful were going to have fantastic growth hes going to rescue infrastructure rescue jobs look we can use another program to talk about why a lot of that is smoke and mirrors but thats exactly what trump is playing with hes not as concerned ironically in this speech as much about the details of National Security the ideas of marriage the trump Russian Investigation guys stick with me stick with the tax cuts even if they benefit the wealthiest of americans because this will make America Great again all of our let you reply in a moment i just dont forget about indigent at this stage who we havent heard from just another quote from president john speight referring to china saying that china seeks to challenge american influence values and wealth i mean that in itself is not actually that surprising and further to that if there is a challenge why. Why run from not saying dont try is running from it but why not meet it rather than retreat while i dont think the total trump the administration is retreating at all theres nothing isolationist about the National Security strategy in fact its a very kind of powerful thrust to continue a kind of broad postwar post cold war strategy over all that is a global regional strategy i think the key thing is that there seem to be two forces working within the National Security strategy one is the old Campaign Rhetoric or make America Great again America First and about and immigration and so on but the second one is i think appears to be authored by somebody like general mcmaster which is basically the old the old strategy that the conservative nationalists of championed for a long time and that is the use of american strength in order to sort of maintain their vital interests and clearly china has been a competitor for some time theres also been a lot of cooperation with the United States for a long time i think the feeling is that the trump is trying to differentiate himself very significantly from his predecessors and his the Campaign Style of the National Security strategy suggests that but the underlying basic point being made and the only thing which is really different you could say is theres no mention of soft power very large amounts of hard power and i think that even if theres not much new there its a little bit more kind of open than it has been in the past and i think that it could well be much more risky in regard to risking military confrontations are more frequently hes not isolationist he said in the strategy that nato is very important about maintaining you know kind of close control of russia the e. U. Now suddenly is very important as well and he mentions of his friends and allies of Australia New Zealand japan south korea india now and the whole of the pacific areas called indicators indopacific not asia perceive. Anymore so theres nothing isolationist i think continuing the old american policy of let me jump in energy let me jump in because youve said many times here that he is not isolationist i want to put that argument to the test because many would believe that donald trump has isolated the u. S. Since hes come to office i want to list off a few examples these are admittedly not the document that were talking about but a widely you go back to the beginning of the year he pulled out of the twelve nation Transpacific Partnership because he said he wanted to quote protect american jobs on Climate Change which the Obama Administration considered one of the main dangers facing the u. S. Donald trump dropped from the list of Global Threats he announced the u. S. Would pull out of the Paris Climate Accord syria yes there was the one and strike on a Government Air base but the United States has largely stayed out of the conflict and it was a gap which russia was happy to fill there and most recently of course Donald Trumps order to move the u. S. Embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem to recognized tourism as israels capital condemned right around the world indrajit will stay with you and then come back to the others that sounds like isolation and no no youre pointing out that you feel the document doesnt but widely this is something which the president this is a road that he is taking the United States down i think what you can say is that hes got a more nuanced attitude towards the International System because of the hard core what he calls Americas National vital interests so the Climate Change violates another key interest he considers to be vital which is corporate interests he has released and deregulated big corporations and Climate Change and those kind of regulations around environment were a key restraint as far as he could see so hes gone out of that and of course hes pulled out of it you know its goes well but if you look at the other hard core how the military alliances hes now rediscovered that they are very very important so in that sort of the key infrastructure of the post warda hes not really fundamentally challenging it what hes saying is he wants to bend those institutions to americas will much more than they have. And and that doesnt seem any different to me from president obama or president bush or president clinton all of any other president s before those they try to bend International System to their will and they go unilateral where they cant get it necessarily to their will i think President Trump is effectively containing the other is that what hes doing as a solver and in the United States hes really looking to balance the efficiency with dignity dignity in how the United States defines itself as a Regional Power in the face of looking at china as a strong Regional Power and russia as a Regional Power and when you look at this truck and they have to compete in a very very fast faster fastest gave the economics is getting faster the it band spent in science and technology is getting even faster were going were looking at a quantum speed economy that has to match quantum physics in Quantum Thinking and its technology and that is the quantum size of the supply side that its approaching in the guns of the money this this particular strategy is very very innovative it is not a Campaign Speech because hes really trying to link Economic Security with National Security and hes also looking at Homeland Security so that he continues to curate the nation borders as the solvent in the United States and if then he that message across europe to the queen to the. European nations that you have to secure your borders it order to secure your nation this is what breakfast was all about and all were looking at right now is bricks in amer
