The need to end our reliance on russian engines. We actually put our money where our mouth is. We added 133. 6 million on top of the 84. 4 million requested by the president to accelerate the development of the new rocket engine. 100 billion authorized by the Defense Authorization committee. So we are making certain that we are going to end this reliance on russian engines. The question is how we manage the space launch through several years of launches before we have that engine. We need to do it without jeopardizing our National Security. The general provision which i referred to allows for space launch competition in 2016 without regard to the source of an engine.

And were going to get no action on the violations of it the inf treaty. That is a longstanding violation that needs an appropriate response by this nation, and it should not be impeded or blended in to any other concerns that were having with russias new activity. Let me ask this. Miss gottemoeller is it i

Hello, im jake tapper in washington with the state of our union totally confused after a week of discipline on his foreign trip in asia, President Trump unloaded overnight in a series of tweets and comments hitting his critics as, quote, haters and fools and saying he tries so hard to be friends with north koreas leader kim jongun while also essentially calling kim jongun short and fat. President trump also appeared to kind of, maybe, sort of backtrack on earlier statements in which he seemed to take the word of russian president Vladimir Putin over american intelligence agencies, asserting unequivocally Russian Election interference. During a press conference in vietnam the president was asked to clarify once and for all if he believes russia interfered in the u. S. Election. Heres his respons
