he going to do? is it a fantastic place? are we going to open up -- >> or when he says in 2011 -- 2012 and 2015 i'm going to read the tweets because in 2011 mr. trump tweeted this. get it straight, pakistan is not our friend. in 2012, he tweeted this, when will pakistan apologize to us for providing safe sanctuary to osama bin laden for six years? some ally. and in 2015, mr. trump said this, it is probably the most dangerous because of the fact that it has the nukes, and you might you made add north korea to that group because there you have a total mad man. at least in pakistan you have some semblance of sanity at this moment. but it could go rogue. you have to get india involved. india's the check to pakistan. and you have to get india involved. >> so, maybe when you become president of the united states, you have to say, really nice things to these leaders, and, and they'll kind of understand the terrible things you've said about them in the past?
those comments. but describe the conversation as, quote, productive. but here's the thing. as you know, words matter. and the u.s. relationship with pakistan is crucial. it is one of the most sensitive in the world. it's also quite complicated. in recent years pakistan has come under fire for not doing enough to fight terrorism within its borders. after the u.s. navy s.e.a.l. raid that killed osama bin laden inside pakistan, then-cia director leon panetta slammed pakistani officials and their possible knowledge about bin laden's whereabouts. he said quote either they were involved or incompetent. neither place is a good place to be. let's talk about pakistan and the united states and mr. trump and with me is the cnn global affairs analyst and national security investigations editor for reuters. welcome. so, first of all, is it strange that pakistan would leak this phone call between mr. trump, and its prime minister? >> it is very strange. but i think it's an effort by pakistan to sort of curry favor with donald trump, and to be blunt, sort of play to his ego.

challenge the administration faces, to see whether this stark reality we faced of having osama bin laden inside pakistan, near an army base, where he should have been known to the pakistanis, if he wasn't. it is an issue that many believe should change u.s./pakistani relations. >> to your point about that, the double game your referred to the notion of sort of this complicity in allowing these troops to sort of weave their way back and forth between pakistan and afghanistan and fight against our soldiers. some breaking news this morning that nato helicopters and jets from afghanistan actually fired on a pakistani border post and apparently two pakistani soldiers were killed in this incident. some key supply routes, obviously, for -- into afghanistan for the u.s. what does this do? what does the impact of actually -- >> a fire fight. >> yeah. >> a real fire fight will probably mean that the military to military discussions between the united states and nato countries and pakistan are going
strategically and what senator kerry said was this, pakistan needs to decide what sort of country it wants to be, whether it wants to be a democracy or a country a haven for terrorists. to get this relationship back on track he was looking for concrete measures. one of these measures is the return of this helicopter that was downed during the osama bin laden raid. you might recall there was some correlation a little earlier perhaps the pakistanis may allow the chinese, of course a long-standing ally of pakistan, to look at this chopper, but now it appears kerry has won this concession and it is going to be sent back to the united states. we have not had confirmation that has happened. if and when it does it will be a step in the right direction as far as trying to right this relationship goes. >> all right. stan grant, thank you. air strikes light up the night sky over tripoli. new video of what the libyan government is calling the aftermath of an attack by nato war planes. the government's anti-corruption headquarters burned, so did a building that housed the head of

displeasure is known, which is impetus for these bomb threats and zain also says that her schedule is continuing, regardless of the threats. >> we'll bring you more of that as it unfolds. pakistan has agreed to return the wreckage of the american stealth chopper that crashed during the osama bin laden raid. >> the handoff is expected to happen today. navy s.e.a.l.s blew up the chopper, attempting to destroy any evidence after a mechanical malfunction. the tail section remained intact and the u.s. has been demanding it back for weeks now. stan grant is live in islamabad, pakistan, this morning. why is it significant they're now agreeing to return that piece? >> yeah. because senator kerry came here for a discussion about how to in his words re-set this relationship. this relationship has really been under the microscope since the killing of osama bin laden. many are talking about a new law and it is so important
