the negotiation that matter. the president is standing his ground about a wall, or at last check a steel physical barrier, pelosi and schumer unequivocal in their total opposition to any wall or barrier. so this idea that they need $5 billion, 5.7, they haven t even sent us a plan for until yesterday, we re looking at it now, is unrealistic. we want the symbol of america to stay as the statue of liberty not a big concrete wall. republicans believe democrats simply want to oppose this president for the sake of opposition. in a political crisis in washington, where ms. pelosi and senator schumer want to beat president trump, they want to deny him what he s asking for and they want the political benefit among their base for having done so. if this were, really, about looking to find a solution, it s really there staring us in the face.
have the co-lifgts unwilling coalition of the unwilling. we can put up a list of the people you added to this group. there are, president trump with his america first policies, is very unilateralist in orientation, a lot of multi lateral organizations and alliances one strain the americans from our own national interests. there are a lot of other leaders in the world, for their own wroen, also reason also oppose u.s.-led multi lateral institutions. putin is obvious, kim jong-un, and it aly, erdogan in turkey. which means when trump is trying to say i want the united states to be first, and i m not going to give away on all of these other issues, these other countries, a lot of people are increasingly rooting him on. not flying under the same flag, but they have a common enemy. that does undermine ultimately
include misinformation, blatant lies, and fear-mongering. that should be the warning that runs across the screen. when this address takes place. president trump is also considering declaring a national state of emergency so that he can have the military step in and build the wall. he says he doesn t want to pull that trigger just now but according to white house officials the white house counsel emmett flood is looking into the possibility. if the president were to pull that trigger, dane, a you can pet the democrats would go for legal action in a heartbeat. dana: you have a new response from the white house on the claim of terror suspects at the southern border? yes, this is something that stems from chris wallace interview with sarah huckabee sanders sunday morning, she said 4,000 tlifts, terror-connected people were apprehended at the border. tlifts. and the most vulnerable part of the entry process into the country, is the southern border. it turns out that is misstating
the u.s.-led global order we have had. dana: take me to another one, this question about u.s.-china and trade. 2018, i read every year your prediction, u.s.-china and the relationship. in 2019 that s continuing. the two countries are still meeting talking about trade. where do you see that going? on the trade issue, we are not going to have escalation or a trade war. that s very clear from what we have seen over the last 24 hours. the fact they are making progress. the next round of meetings will include the u.s. trade representative. trump has made very evident that he wants to get something done and only trump can do it. i would be stunned if on march 1 we actually move to 25% tariffs across the board on the chinese. they will oh find a deal or frame work agreement or at the very worst they ll extend negotiations. but that s going to be compartmentalized. doesn t mean we won t have big structural problems with
promote president trump s shifting foreign policy initiative. the national security advisor john bolton met with turkish leadership to discuss the plan to withdraw troops from syria. bolton laid out two conditions. first isis must be completely destroyed. second the turkish government must ensure the safety of syrian kurds. bolton erdogan decided not to meet with bolton and spoke with his parliament, making sure turkey will not protect the kurds, a group they view as terrorists. spokesperson for erdogan added turkey would like to see u.s. bases in syria emptied and handed over to local elements. meanwhile, president trump s secretary of state, mike pompeo, landed in jordan where he will discuss the u.s. plan to leave syria. he will reportedly speak with leaders in eight countries about the way the united states is looking to pressure iran amid
