the rnc, the republican national committee, into its orbit, making it literally an arm of the campaign. not a stand alone entity, which is going to be a problem, quite honestly, because these candidates, as they announce and start their campaigns, they re going to look to the rnc for the same resources and information they re providing to donald trump, who is no different once he s formally declared his reelection bid. no different than any other candidate running for the seat. yes, he s the incumbent, but he s still a candidate. so that s going to create some real interesting tension points down the stretch, particularly if any of these campaigns if sanford gets in, with weld there, and now joe, that combination creates enough energy around the idea of a primary that even republicans who always, you know, like to brag, we like to have the challenge in the primary. right. suddenly have to say, well, maybe this could be a bit more of a problem. let me get your thoughts on
we locked up tens and tens of billions of dollars. these sanctions will come along with additional entities where people are hiding, these sanctions are highly effective. we ll look forward to a time and release sanctions if they are willing to negotiate. these sanctions are just the latest tension points that the president s newest akicting secretary of defense will have to deal with as he starts his interim today. u.s. cyber command stepped up attacking foreign network in iran. joining me now, national security evelin and our secretary of defense, ali
diplomatic agreement a little more than a year ago, knowing it would create consequences. iran was already funding terrorism around the world. maybe with the agreement, they had more money to fund it. i think it s important that we not needlessly start an armed conflict over some of these significant but minor tension points. israel will, as a last resort, attack a nuclear armed iran, we will come to their aid. reporter: a number of democrats said they hope the president will come to them first if he decides to take any sort of military action or engage in any sort of response. a number of republicans have said in the past couple of days they believe the president has the authority to act if needed. dana? dana: thank you. more on this now with tom rogan from the washington examiner. always good to have you on.
in which they both talked about the importance of the strong relationship between the united states and the uk. toda today, i think, went as the white house hoped it would go, having tea with prince charles and camilla. tomorrow is where the rubber meets the road, the president bracing for these tension points. that s when he will be face-to-face, sitting down with prime minister theresa may. the white house has a couple of objectives they want to see achieved. the uk has objectives they want to see achieved. president trump delivering a pretty stern message to the uk on huawei, the chinese telecom company that the brits are looking to incorporate in their 5g network. there s concern, talk on part of the u.s. side that perhaps it would mean some sort of pulling back of the intelligence sharing with british officials and that is a cause for concern. the other piece of this is what the uk wants from president trump and that is, in essence, some kind of commitment that the
certainly among rank and file democrats, there may be more fire and energy towards impeachment, but those with a real responsibility to chart that path are much more careful as you point out to try to lay the groundwork in a broad way to cite different instances where they believe the administration may, in fact, be showing signs of obstruction, areas where the president could be vulnerable. and one of the tension points between the communications between pat cipollone and the administration s voice on that with people like house speaker nancy pelosi, who spoke about this today and her reaction about a letter from the white house counsel was very sharp in suggesting that there is a divide over what their responsibilities are. well, the house speaker feels very clearly that she knows what her mandate is in terms of her constitutional authority and what they might be looking for. here s nancy pelosi from earlier today. the letter that came from the white house yesterday was
