entrust this level of responsibility on such a broad array of foreign policy. it s not limited. perhaps one could make the argument that kushner may have more of an impact on middle east foreign policy, but we re also talking about china. we re also talking about russia. we re also talking about mexico, as you say. not just to diplomats working here in the u.s., but allies across the globe. because we don t yet see a strong sense of what american leadership is going to look like on the world stage, what the tone is going to be. take china for example. in the beginning, president trump was like threatening the one china policy, talking about taiwan. then suddenly we shifted gears
against time to find the perpetrators of this attack. they have not been apprehended yet. they have managed to make powerful bombs. they could do this again tomorrow or later on. it s frightening. paul crookshank, thank you. president trump meeting with pop international leaders face to face this week. the stakes couldn t be higher as president trump s son-in-law makes a a surprise trip to iraq. what role he s playing in president trump s foreign policy plans. you re watching cnn.
