doubt about and the minds of many overseas presidents s tenure. that gives rise to this. the high five which makes great saturday night live material is too autocrats with blood on their hands conveying publicly and thumbing their nose at the united states and its leader. russian meddling is ongoing. this is something we learned. russian meddling and u.s. politics happening now. let s listen to something that the defense secretary said about this. there is no doubt the relationship has worsened. he tried again to muck around in our elections this last month. we are seeing a continued effort along those lines. what is the administration doing in response to him saying meddling in the elections last month and what should they be doing some. i think the secretary mattis is simply reinforcing and echoing what they said with the
2005, to their behavior on the international stage. the president, rightfully so, was concerned that their nuclear activities, their missile activities were counter manneding and counterproductive to our operations, which is why we suspended. is it talks going on or specifics in the field that are you looking at right now? both. soing is pompeo, in getting a re-affirmation from the north koreans last month affirm that they do want to establish communications with us and to conduct joint operations. we have not started those negotiations. we will do so. it is on a separate track. however, as you well pointed out, it could be drawn into the greater geopolitical stream. for now, we re treating it as a military to military contact, more importantly, as a humanitarian endeavor that s separate and distinct from anything else. by the way, the 45 countries that we work with, all
american people, that s fantastic for all of us. i think that s great as an american and in particular it s great for his interest and in our interest around the globe. but being a disrupter also carries some risk, some long-term risk. i don t think the president is as concerned about that perhaps as he ought, at least not yet. but i think on balance, soing long as he s advancing the american agenda, such as it is and so far certainly seems that way, that s a win for the american people and that means he s doing his job and doing it well. kevin cork, we appreciate you joining us this morning. thanks so much. and of course after the nato summit president trump will spend the rest of the week in windsor castle and hold meetings with theresa may. we re keeping an eye on that. this comes as a hectic time for the u.k. with brexit approaching. on monday president trump will have a summit with russia s
we re going to have 28 exceptionally nervous leaders of these nato countries when president trump goes into this meeting and we don t even know what president trump is going to say about nato at the nato meetings. we know what he has said in the past, which is that he doesn t think that nato should be around. take a look at the big picture wu it comes to europe because here s what the leaders of europe are dealing with. they re dealing with new governments in italy, austria, hungary, slovakia, dealing with a new government in the united states. all of those governments are populist, right-wing governments. none of them believe nato should exist. you have an american president coming to meet with nato, and then on the heels of that going to meet with the russian president. so a referendum on nato i don t think is too far to say that s what we re gaeg to soing to see week. i quick lnly want to touch o north korea while i have you, cal. i had gourden on my shon and w
now are in the custody of the federal government. , thank you for your great reporting on this. yesterday we had some psychiatrists on who dealt with kids in their trauma. they were saying a young child separated from their parent, it s like they re without air. there s just no relationship like that. d not telling them where their parents are, not telling them what s going on isoing to inflict remarkable life-long trauma on the ki you saw it firsthand. humanity first. how about humanity first as well as smart economic policy. when i look at the tent city, do you know that s one of the poies i texas? they don t even have clean water. and think about the massive amount of money spent on these unnecessary tent cities. imagine if they went to the people of texas who need it. as the feds are trying to clean up the confusion we re talking act that s left behind from president trump s zero tolerance policy, the house is actually due to vote this afternoon on a gop immigration overhaul.
