in the white house, wrote at the time, thank you, president erdogan for joining us to celebrate the twin towers. and we have more from bloomberg, anna edgerton. what does president trump s rollout of this major troop withdrawal reveal about his foreign policy approach and the kind of divisions it has created in the republican party? in some ways it is very on brand. it started with a tweet. and let s kind of walk back by senior officials speaking mostly on background and got a very strong response from republicans from the hill and it was notable how strong lindsey graham s pushback was. he had a very vigorous disagreement with the president on this and notably on fox and friends which he probably expected the president to be watching so it will be interesting to see how republicans respond over the next few days as this policy is played out a little bit more. and we better understand the repercussions of this policy. we have already seen especially amidst the impeachment talk

job. be president. assist us in getting legislation across theiaively. the brought says he s not personally bothered by these recent missile tests by north korea. what is the president s motivation here? and do you think he s giving kim jong-un a pass here? well, he definitely did by saying he doesn t know what his motivations are. the president doesn t have any problems with it. this is a violation of sanctions. whatever kim jong-un s motivations are, are regardless of what they are, those are meaningless to the tenets of the u.n. sanctions. and so that s what the president should be focusing on. he could have said, yes, with i believe those are violations, but for the moment, we re going to put those aside, woo ill we work forward on these negotiations, but that wasn t the case. and are you getting mixed signals from the white house in terms of what the foreign policy approach is to iran, the president contradicted his own national security adviser on north korea and on iran sa
