part some of the chaos that has caused the president of the united states to be churning the way he has over the past week. >> any right thinking human being would be concerned if what john is describing is going to be thrown out into the public view. lay on top of that the president of the united states. i agree, i think conservative and republican support for this president remains incredibly high. you have to look at this. at some point the evidence becomes undeniable that there was an alleged affair, that there was an alleged payment that he hasn't allegedly paid back the person who made the payment on his behalf, that has allegedly all took place a week or two before the election. how can you say when you look at all these pieces, this is fake news, this is made up, the media is out to get my president of the united states. if you are one of the evangelicals, how can you stand by and watch this and support the man?

the national trading system which has been a tremendous blessing and boost overall for american strategy and for the american economy. and just to give you one example, the third largest source of american steel imports is south korea. why would we want to penalize south korea at the very time we're trying to coordinate a joint approach towards north korea? so it makes no strategic sense. economically it's legitimate. some have lost as a result of chinese overcapacity and overproduction. that's a legitimate thing. what we need to think though is how to respond in a way and the serious response is to train americans not for the steel jobs that will never come back, but it's to train them for the jobs that will emerge in the future. that's the serious conversation the 45th president of the united states need to have an honest conversation with the american people, with american workers. this is smoke and mirrors. this is politics.

take. but obviously, if there were to be across the board tariffs imposed then we would be very upset. we would consider it unfair and we would use our rights under the wto to take what we call rebalancing action by imposing tariffs on american products because that's the way the system works, but we really don't think we're part of the problem. we think china and chinese overcapacity is a common problem we face with the united states. there will be a meeting in brussels on saturday with the european trade negotiator and their japanese counterpart to discuss precisely how we could have more concerted action to address the issues imposed by china. >> the diplomats are getting together to try to figure out how to deal with chinese overcapacity. at the same time, the president is talking about tariffs. >> well, that is why our view is this would be premature and we hope the president does not take this decision.

he has to stand up and defend his department, defend his professionals and in many ways he's leading the charge against him, one of the tragic legacies among this administration will be the dismantling of a significant part of our diplomatic capability. >> in a big way. >> one final question, mr. ambassador. brexit. where are we right now in the negotiations and what long-term impact is that going to have on great britain? >> well, i think it's been very clear that for most of us in the european union we viewed all that with great sadness. we very much wish that the british people decided otherwise but it's their sovereign choice, they have made that. we now have to figure out how to make a new relationship work. so the negotiations are ongoing to sort out the exit of the british -- of the uk from the european union and then -- which will take longer and negotiation to establish a new relationship between the united kingdom outside of the eu and the eu as a whole. it's terribly complicated. i think nobody understood just

not but compromising photographs. these scandals when you have pictures are just much more daunting than when you don't have pictures and the original "access hollywood" tape, much of it had donald trump's disembodied voice. it was offensive but in the way the media ecosystem works, if you have someone who is an identifiable person who is on television making the claim over and over again, who's sympathetic, who maybe has supporting documentation or photographs, that's a much more dangerous scandal than other kinds of scandals in this area and i'll say this, steve bannon said to michael wolff, whether true or not, he said there were hundreds of payoffs that he had heard about to women who donald trump had affairs with. if stormy daniels can defy a gag order, can defy a hush settlement and she comes forward, does that set a precedent for other women coming forward? this could become an avalanche if that does work in that way. >> mika, michael cohen admitted
