On some of the worlds most notorious strongmen. And one of them is today a guest at the white house. President erdogan of turkey, who is not altogether happy the us is arming syrian kurds. And, news that ford might soon be shedding 200,000 jobs . Well tell you why the car company may be hitting a speed bump. Hello, i am katty kay in washington, Christian Fraser is in london. And we are both confused. Are reports that donald trump gave classified intelligence to russian officials a storm in a tea cup or a major breach of Us National Security . The Administration Says its the former. Critics say this marks a serious violation of an allys confidence. The white house is not denying the information concerning Islamic State was given to russia, itjust says it was no big deal in fact, wholly appropriate is how the National Security advisor described it a short time ago. Hr mcmaster said a report in the Washington Post accusing the president of giving away intelligence was not accurate. I stan
Cnn it is conceivable the United States could see tens of thousands of more deaths in the coming months. Tens of thousands more americans dead all of them alive tonight. And yet the same time President Trump seems to have forforgotten the pandemic and the governments failed response with some things he is saying tonight speaking to reporters urging states to reopen now. I really do believe a lot of the governors should be opening up states that theyre not opening. Urging governors to reopen. Heard that before, right . Sure remembered that in florida and georgia and texas. Right now 900 americans are dying about every day from coronavirus. Hospitalizations are near the Record Number set back in april. Last week at least 16 states set a single day record in cases. As of tonight 22 states are heading in the wrong direction when it comes to cases and even states doing significantly better i mean significantly like they really had, you know, smashed it is a word similar to the word the gove
April with nearly 4. 3 million confirmed infections in this country and more than 147,000 deaths. You will recall five months ago President Trump made this false claim about how good a job his administration was doing containing the virus. When you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, thats a pretty good job weve done. That was five months ago yesterday, and clearly that is not what happened, mr. President. While the first largescale vaccine trial started today, the u. S. Is nowhere close to being out of the woods. The virus continuing to spread. And the president seemingly living in a state of denial about this all. Cnns Jeremy Diamond is covering the white house for us. Jeremy, the president was clearly on message there, except for a tangent when he was asked about his polling numbers. Over the last week, we have seen President Trump largely try and stick to the script that his aides have prepared for him. And that is a script thats
In fact, contracts awarded by u. S. Governments to Foreign Companies using american tax dollars went up 30 since hes been president. So to recap. One, trump hasnt stopped companies from closing plants and sending jobs overseas. Two, hes Rewarding Companies that have cut jobs and failed to invest here at home with billions of dollars in tax breaks. And, three, hes awarding more and more federal contracts to Foreign Companies. President trump has broken just about every promise hes ever made to the american worker, and hes failed. Hes failed our economy and our country. But look. Would you really expect anything different from this guy . From someone who called those of you and those who were serving in uniform, who have given their lives to the country losers and suckers . Let me tell you something. My son beau was an assistant u. S. Attorney volunteered to go to kosovo to help them set up a government in the middle of a war. I know im being proud here, but hes the only foreigner who ha
