problem. ti thought to a trudeau was doing was reminding him by the i with a you need us, too. yeah. because all those 35 states, some of them michigan, ohio, he did not say, but those are states this president won. canada is the u.s. s largest trade partner. clarissa ward in london, you were listening very closely. clarissa, what did you think? i think to echo what everybody is saying, it was quite clear this was very heavy on plat attitudes and very light on substance. i think the most striking example of that was when the question of north korea came up, and as you have already said, president trump said it is a very, very it is a very big, big problem and we will deal with it very strongly. again, what does that mean? how are you going to deal with that? the international community with like some sort of an assurance there is sort a coherent policy
vigorously test more missiles. the question is you said, you know, how quickly can this escalate? because it can escalate. it can escalate partly because we re dealing with unknown entities, particularly in donald trump, which is how does he react when it is highly unlikely that the iranians will back down because mike flynn said they were on notice. they have been developing missiles for a while. they re a serious country. they want to have a serious defense policy. and they live in a dangerous neighborhood. so in that circumstance if they continue to develop if they do another missile test, what is he going to do? are we really going to go to war because of this? are we going to have an attack? and to complicate this further, which is why you want carefully thought through, coherent policy, iran is probably the principal force outside of the united states and iraq that s battling isis. it s iranian militias that go into syria and fight isis. iran is much more than the
people in the middle east we re not going to take it anymore. the issue is, is it followed up by a coherent policy. we ll have our alabama lice in the east that are very concerned and have a lot of problems with president obama s soft approach to iran. i m not talking about israel. we re talk about saudi arabia and other alabama lice in the middle east. the question is what are they going to follow it up with. tough talk alone gets you know where. as you told us in the last segment this is welcome to the state department secretary tillerson. mexico online one, australia line two, iran online three, please hold so. and russia is listening to all of us. china isn t calling you back. where to begin phil. one of the places i begin as an angle, the white house is having one of the first visitors
it s effective. but on the other hand, when you are president of the united states, are you able to actually make a constructive, coherent policy on a tweet? he s going to suggest things on twitter, like when he goes back and forth with the chinese or whatever. that s a real consequence. does he continue? remember, he said way back, i think after he won the election, i m going to stop this tweeting. it s not going to go well for me. he has continued to tweeting because to me, it s like he s addicted. i think i m quoting greg gutfeld. more so that he is addicted, it s working. it s taking off the other side. first day when i did this, this is the five. it made you so mad. i said i m going to do this every day. true story. i know that s a hand, eric. twitter is ticking off the left so badly, it s brilliant strategy. they should try to match it. i don t know how you match
