600 laser attacks. followed by 400 in 2017 and 350 so far this year. the preponderance have occurred in syria and afghanistan. it s exceedingly difficult to pinpoint the origin of a short laser engagement, so we can t source most laser attacks. those we assess that most come from insurgents and terror organizations in the region. the story was first reported by the wall street journal, trace. trace: thanks, jennifer griffin. thank you. president trump slamming new york governor andrew cuomo over his comment that america was never that great. now the governor walking back a bit. we ll take you to new jersey as we wait for the president to arrive at his golf club there for the weekend next.
director, somebody might think that they were useful and when a new administration comes in, even a different party, they might want to call that person in and ask for their advice on the middle east or russia or terrorism, some pressing issue. if you want to share classified information with them. they don t get it automatically even if they have a security clearance. just means if you want to share it with them, they have the clearance to read it. in today s washington, nobody would dream of the trump administration asking advice or help from the obama administration. so maybe it seems more out of date. but it s the way the system used to work and i think it s actually a good idea that you d like to get advice from people that have been in those jobs before. trace: and there s some that say you can give the temporary you can reinstate the security clearances if it s needed. chris wallace, fox news sunday, thanks very much. this weekend on fox news sunday, chris will speak wit
