it is retreating from core principles like free trade. the trump administration does not seem particularly interested in promoting human rights or democracy abroad. in fact, trump seems to have a greater fascination with strong men. it s at the core, there s a loss of faith in the mission. there s a lot of concern about that reflected in munich in statements about the administration. but remember, i think, the trump election was about reflection as it was as much of a cause. we have seen in populations in democratic states, a crisis of confidence, a questionings of whether democratic principles and free markets are really the proper foundation for societies. and that frustration and disaffection was reflected in the brexit vote, anti-trade in some sense, anti-eu and the
and that explains a lot of mistrust between them so what do you think a lot of thunder and bluster tory is and when it comes down to it ll be like china which apparently there s a deal in the works right now or is reading in the press today that there might be an end to the possible trade war between trying to china in the us there s a this is just bluster but just like with the border security conversation it s not necessarily arguments being made but the process by which. and trump is trying to get things done does the united states have an interest in renegotiating trade deals reworking some of its agreements with china and germany and the european union yes but is the best way to do that to threaten twenty five percent tariffs on . the car imports into the united states probably not and again to merkel s point that she didn t munich are german cars manufactured in the united states is a threat to u.s. national security i think that that is an important question to answer and in my
we are so intertwined with china at this point the idea of pulling away from them and isolating them is painful but in the long run it is something we ve got to do. just like brexit, these are not permanent. mister cook doesn t want to take his iphone is simply out of china but it is good for the country to do that. it is a criminal regime. if you think you can do business with the devil, read daniel webster who is not going to come back and defend america. where making a terrible strategic misstep. this is like chamberlain at munich. rob: we appreciate it. jillian: a judge ordering top obama administration officials to answer questions about the benghazi attack. is that the next step toward justice. general anthony tata says it is
schools often cooperate with one another over decades there are few other places in the world you can find that. i ve played leader a professor at munich s technical university trains up and coming vocational education teachers and pursues research in the field of vocational education youth unemployment in germany is relatively low and the leader says that s down to the dual system when trainees get their diplomas they re good to go for the job market says in the log. if they re all able to do their jobs in a theoretically considered and practically competent way. they re also flexible as a result and can change firms. within the german system once they re qualified they re in demand as a rule even outside of the company where they re trained troops. so is germany s vocational training flawless perfect whatever you look.
