And congressman adam schiff. A pivotal week as the Trump Presidency opens a new chapter. From abc news, this week. Here now, chief anchor george stephanopoulos. Good morning. All through last years campaign, candidate trump promised to stay out of syria. Not our fight, he said. Its time to put america first. This week, that all changed. The spark . These images. Syrian children suffocating, gassed by the assad regime. And with that, the man who pounded president obama for his red line in syria reversed course in the rose garden, drawing lines of his own. When you kill innocent children, innocent babies. Babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal that crosses many, many lines. Beyond a red line. The big difference . After prolonged deliberation, president obama refused to retaliate. President trumps response was lightning fast. A targeted Cruise Missile strike and an expansive call to arms. Tonight, i call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaug
Prove, to find the truth. But we will continue to insist. Thank you. Secretary Rex Tillerson, i want to ask about your conversations with putin about syria. You predicted assad would leave power through political transition, how would you compel him to participate in a political transition that leads to his own departure. Our War Crimes Charges a table and how long will the us wait for russia to come around and four Sergei Lavrov if i make your government and United States governments seem to be miles on the syria issue, on ukraine and other issues. Did you feel you have cleared up any of those issues you mentioned earlier today . Since you had those discussions with Rex Tillerson. We discussed at length the future role for assad, whether it be ina the future role for assad, whether it be in a future political process or not. Clearly our view is that the brain of the assad family is coming to an end. They have again brought this on themselves with their conduct in the war at these past

Rose welcome to the program. We begin this evening with President Trumps interview with the wall street journal and we talk to gerree seib, one of the reporters and commentators who interviewed the president. I thought he was more relaxed than i expected given everything that has been going on, given all the controversy, given the syrian episode, given the fact that he has just been through this high stakes episode with the chinese. He seemed pretty relaxed about all of that. Maybe, maybe surprisingly so. But you know, we asked him what is you have been in this scrob now 75, 80 days, whatever st. How has it changed you. What is your reaction . And he said you know, i dont think ive changed but the gravity of the office really does, it does kind of present itself to you. You cant avoid the fact that every decision is a big decision. Rose and from moscow we talk to david sanger of the New York Times where today the secretary of state met with the foreign minister and with Vladimir Putin.
