Reporter Vice President mike pence made an unannounced visit to afghanistan, landing overnight for key meetings with its leaders and to visit u. S. Troops. There are now more than 14,000 u. S. Boots on the ground. Reassure them, but also we spoke to them about the trump legislative agenda and that ongoing russia probe. The president made it clear were going to stay in this fight for our security and to achieve a victory here in afghanistan. But he asked me to develop a relationship with president ghani. How often do you speak with him . It seems like we speak once a month. I met with president ghani today. Heard about the parliamentary elections next year. Is he giving you a day . He told me the plans are on track for parliamentary elections next year president ial on the heels of this win on tax overhaul, how do you approach 2018 . To see the congress and the United States come together, pass the largest tax cut in american history, was deeply inspiring to me. Do you see a toehold to get more done . Youll see them move on vigorously to an agenda that will include infrastructure and welfare reform. Reporter one of the things that i know frustrates the president , and im sure it must also stick with you, is the degree to which the russia probe continues to overhang all the things you just laid out. Special counsel has a job to do. Were fully cooperating. When you say youll cooperate, you mean you personally are willing to cooperate with bob muler . Weve been fully cooperating with the special counsels office and well continue to. Just clarify how you understand what happened with mike flynn when he was fired. Did you know he lied to the fbi . What i can tell you is i know he lied to me. I know the president made the right decision with regard to him. Due to security concerns, pences visit was a closely guarded secret with reporters in a total media blackout until just before his departure. He is the highest ranking u. S. Official to visit afghanistan since the Trump Administration decided to intensify its military engagement here this summer. For cbs this morning, Margaret Brennan, bagram. Thanks, margaret. The Trump Administration says it will ignore and remember a u. N. Vote to condemn its recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. In a nonbinding resolution, 128 nations denounced the decision. Calling it null and void. Just Nine Countries voted to support the u. S. While 35 others abstained. Major garrett is at the white house. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. When President Trump announced here on december 6th he intended to move the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as israels capital, he said he was merely doing what a law signed by bill clinton in 1995 said he should do. True. But no american president had implemented that law, deciding it was wiser to leave the status of jerusalem to peace talks between the israelis and the palestinians. The u. N. Vote amplifies critics who say the president s move has jeopardized that very peace process. The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack reporter President Trumps ambassador to the United Nations warned member countries that condemning u. S. Solidarity with the Israeli Government will have consequences. This vote will be remembered. Reporter 128 countries ignored the warning. Among them, u. S. Allies britain, france, germany, italy and japan. Joining the u. S. And israel were only seven other countries. Guatemala, honduras, marshall island, micronesia, nauru. They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and vote against us. Reporter President Trump said wednesday the u. S. Could cut off funding to countries that cross him. Let them vote against us. Well save a lot. Reporter president obamas cia director john brennan called the president s threat to retaliate beyond outrageous. And said mr. Trump showed qualities, quote, found in narcissistic vengeful autocrats. It is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. Reporter the president s decision to recognize jerusalem and his intention to move the u. S. Embassy there set off days of protests and earned condemnation from arab nations and european allies. America will put our embassy in jerusalem. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. Reporter the state Department Said after the u. N. Vote the threat to cut off funds is real but it did not identify any nation that might, in fact, have its foreign aid reduced. Next year, the United States is scheduled to dole out just under 26 billion in foreign aid. Major, thanks. Congress faces a very busy new year after putting off some major decisions until after the holidays. Lawmakers did pass a temporary spending bill to keep the government running through january 19th. That includes shortterm funding for the Childrens HealthInsurance Program known as chip. It sends authorizations of the governments warrantless surveillance program. The measure adding 81 billion in disaster aid for hurricane and wildfire victims passed the house but it stalled in the senate. Congress returns january 3rd. President trump is signing the tax bill this morning before heading to florida. Chief washington correspondent and face the nation anchor John Dickerson with us. Lots to talk about. Once again congress punting on this spending bill. Yes, thats right. Nobody was going to have a showdown right before christmas but this has caused tension in both parties because these spending bills are the way you use leverage to get done what you want to get done. Now all of that leverage and fighting, including a lot of promises made to get the tax cut bill passed, those are all bottled up for when this comes up again in january. Big achievement going into the new year. How well has this how well has the gop and the president who control Congress Position themselves for the midterms at this point . Its interesting. The president s got a lot of achievements. The president s got achievements in lowering regulations, on judicial nominations, all that. But if you look at his Approval Ratings, they are at historically low levels. The republican partys approvals are low. The hope among republicans is that with this tax cut bill that will improve. The support for the tax cut bill is in some pulls 36 . Theyve positioned themselves extremely well with the base of their party but the question is how big is that and how will that pay off in the off year election and will they turn out and, by the way, theres a lot to happen between now and election day, believe me. The election of doug jones change the game a little bit in alabama, made the race a little tighter, 5149. So what issues do you think Mitch Mcconnell needs to focus on . Getting 60 votes if you look at what democrats are seeing in their base, theyre seeing that their dislike of donald trump is keeping their base riled up. Why would you give donald trump a win . Thats the way the democrats on the other hand what republicans will try to do on an issue like infrastructure is take an issue thats popular among democrats and say here you go, we want to put something on infrastructure through the congress, will you join with us . That will be an interesting early battle. In addition to infrastructure, the question of entitlements. Paul ryan wants to get to it. A big deficit problem caused by the tax bill. Mitch mcconnell has said were not going to do it. They dont even like calling them entitlements. So if that really gets joined it will be a tough fight. You dont want to go over what happened in the general assembly, recognizing jerusalem as israels capital. How does this play out as the u. S. Looks to the world for help on north korea and iran and cooperation on other issues . Thats right. You have this very theres a disconnect between, on the one hand, saying were taking names, we america first. America first. The president , even when he spoke at the u. N. , saying using the body to create the world pressure on north korea and also using the body to say to china, you want to be its part of the way theyre putting pressure on china so you want to be a player on the world stage, you will gain favor on the world stage by helping us with north korea, so you have to believe in the notion of a world stage and the notion of collective views from other countries. On the one hand, you need that to exist. On the other, you say were going to take names. There is a disconnect there. But theres often been a disconnect between the way the u. S. Uses the u. N. And then when it doesnt like what the u. N. Is telling it, they say, well, were going to go our own way. Nikki haley was very firm yesterday. John, thank you so much. Sunday on face the nation, john will review all the big stories from this year and look ahead to next years election. Thats going to be sunday right here on cbs. Christmas eve, John Dickerson is working. Wrapping presents under the table. I will be watching.
