this follows a similar eruption in the same area last month this time, it s much closer to the fishing town of grindavik. people living nearby have already left the area and local authorities have declared an emergency. jessica parker has this report. this was a worst case scenario that s now unfolding in front of the world s eyes. a wave of molten rock is carving its way into what was a thriving fishing town. grindavik s been evacuated, again, but abandoned homes and businesses lie in the path of an overwhelming natural force. this, it appears, was the first house to fall. translation: while this i is a bit surreal to watch your family home just disappear, i m still realising what s happening. trucks building defensive barriers against the lava suddenly found it surging towards them. fiery liquid burst out into the open on sunday morning. another fissure then tore up through the earth. translation: today is a black day for grindavik and today - is a black day for iceland.
the question is will they actually partner with us to try to do things for the american people. chris: all right. on infrastructure, day one, all federal money you want only $200 billion with the restç coming from state, local and private. they say the private would be a corporate giveaway, so where s the deal? i think i m not going to get in front of the president, but i m very confident. we ve had conversations with democrats, i think there s a willingness on the policy to get there. the question remains will politics prevent it. chris: okay, let s talk about another area because i think it s fair to say there s a deal to be made on immigration. the democrats want the dreamers, the young people who came into this country as children as illegal immigrants, to the get some permanent legal status. in return, what are you asking for in terms of border enforcement,ç and does there he to be at least some funding for the president s border wall? chris, the president put forward to c
tillerson earlier this week. i support the administration s decision to provide these types of defensive weapons for the ukrainians. it s a clear message to russia that we will not allow them to continue to compromise the sovereignty of ukraine. russia will continue to push as far as they can. it was important for the united states to tell russia that we will support ukraine s ability to defend itself, so i support the decision. chris: overall, how do you think the administration has doneç ts first year in foreign policy, and are are you troubled that we have a secretary of state, rex tillerson, who almost everybody in washington thinks is going to be gone within a year? has he lost his credibility as he travels the world representing this country? in many respects our foreign policy is inconsistent. we ll have a policy coming out of state department or coming out from people that are representing the white house and
there are. and so, yes, 9 million have signed up, but with it s way short of the estimates. it continues to collapse. what the administration s looking to do is shore up the markets through administrative actions we can take such as you saw the president sign an executive order allowingç associated health plans that more people can pool their resources together to help lower premiums. we will continue to take administrative action on obamacare. chris: finally, i want to ask you about foreign affairs issues. president trump issued a threat to countries at the u.n. not to to oppose his decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. here he is. they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us? well, we re watching those votes. let em vote against us. we ll save a lot. we don t care. chris: in the end, 128 countries ignored the president s threat and is votp against his new policy. but the fact is that the only country b
as much as a billion dollars in foreign aid that he s talking about perhaps doing away with are two allies, egypt and jordan. does he really mean what he says about cutting aid either to countries like egypt and jordan or to the u.n. itself? there are a couple of very important things that happened in the united nations this week, and you re covering one of them, and that is recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. keep in mind in 1995 congress voted overwhelmingly that s what the american position would be and votedç 90-0 with 10 abstentions last year. it is a policy that is represented by many americans, the president followed through on a campaign promise. also last week there was a vote 15-0 to help put additional sanctions on north korea. that is something that s been underreported. the president s leadership with ambassador with haley in bringing the united nations together in isolating north korea, that is far more important chris: but will the president go ahead an
