come and you played a little bit advice is a device that is closely. if nothing else this is a conference that s going to let of it, what bolton said about giving biden. the problem is a short come up pepeople are going to watch what to the point, it s a sink, these the libyan model applying to we are saying and parents are are not words we associated with goin wonderful. north korea s nuclear program. this was prior to the singapore joe biden. he i think recognizes that he meeting which almost derailed has this problem but i m not the whole thing. president trump had to try to sure he has the capacity to fix pull that one back on the track. it. this know what the president said about that. this is who he is and i d say may be fuzzier less sharp than set back very badly when ever and the advice is good john bolton talked about the libyan model, and he made a whether it can be followed through on i think is totally mistake. as soon as he mentioned that, the libyan model. another point
too inflexible. what do you make of the relationship between these two men? it s been fracktious. we ve seen disagreements, proposal to have a camp david meeting. pompeo has remained within the orbit of the president of the united states. he has clearly figured out thousand work within that arena. as no one else on the national security team has. mattis resigned. tillerson was fired. mcmaster was forced out. john kelly was forced out. just look at the people, a lot of them retired general in front of their names who have not been able to survive in this arena. that said, i think one of the precipitators here was not just mike pompeo and disagreements between bolton and the president on iran, north korea, afghanistan, but mike pence. it was over the weekend when those leaks came out where bolton was being reported to have disagreed over camp david
lot of misleading statements, especially about the trade war with china. who better to discuss than john kaic kasich, i hope you had a great and special weekend. last week we talked about president trump acting more erratically. the chaos, the flip flopping, the lies were on full display. how would you rate the performance at the g-7, please? probably rocky. probably didn t really connect it. what was interesting to me, all these people said they would have these strong things to say in private. it is like they were tiptoeing around him. isn t that interesting? i don t know what happened in those private meetings. there were a number of things on climate, on iran, on trade. the trade problem is a worldwide problem. why does it affect us here at home? number one, people won t buy our products because they cost more.
number two. there are companies and get inputs from overseas that they have to use to make the products. and those inputs cost more so they pay more. thirdly, when the products come in that have tariffs on them, consumers pay for more there. the whole world is upset with the behavior of china. they have stolen our electoral property and other people s. they do not play by a level playing field. and a way to deal with this was the whole world. through world trade center. he chose to go unilaterally. exactly what did he on iran and i think it was a terrible mistake. now he faces an economic problem. and i think that is why they re now searching, maybe, searching for a way to get out of this. if the economy goes south, negligent the red lights come and they know they have a problem. the first part, why they seem to tiptoe around it. maybe they re saying it s not
you just sort of answered my question. how are american businesses supposed to plan when the u.s. is all over the place. you don t know what the president will say, how a spokesperson will clean it up and make excuses for you. that s a role problem. if businesses don t plant, they don t invest. if we don t invest, we can t grow. we would like the on see this ratcheted down. i wish that he was over there saying to all the countries that were there, the leaders of the countries, all right. let s do it together west do need to do it together. there isn t any question about it. doing it unilaterally. now he s in a discussion with iran. iran is a problem. we should have worked our european friends, we want you to stop your ballistic missile development. we want to you stop funding
