heavy-handed sanctions before vladimir putin visits washington. escalating trade threats with key american allies. one of the most powerful ceos thinks it is bad policy. i spoke to jamie dimon in chicago. he said the president is right to target china on trade, but not about much else. the way to look at trade, the president has raised serious issues that are accurate around china that need to be fixed. we want nafta done. i think mexico is a wonderful neighbor. we want nafta done. to be torturing mexico this way is dead wrong in my opinion and should be fixed. we thought the president should work with mexico and canada and do tpp and work with the european allies and japanese allies and go to china with a common front. not against them. this is the way the modern world should deal with trade with ip and state enterprises. now we have a little bit of a
we have nick paton walsh with the latest. nick, a lot of people are waking up having no idea where this came from here. reporter: i was one of them. all cap blocked letters mean something different in this part of the world. the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear agreement to design to keep the globe in check. there were 12 areas where iran should bend to the will. that is unlikely to happen. hassan rouhani s comments is building up tensions. there were protests in iran of the collapse of the currency and economic slide there. of course, that tweet was responded to by president trump s tweet. at the same time, we had secretary of state mike pompeo in california giving a speech in which he basically said we should not be fooled of the
