Than mediation. At the end of the day we have constant exchanges with President Trump. I share his goals, hell say he doesnt agree with methods, but i want to get there, i want to have an agreement. And i think theres been a true change. This morning president rohani showed himself to be opening to this meeting happening and President Trump has been saying for weeks hes been demanding and being tough and putting forward sanctions but im ready to have a meeting to make a deal. I think were making progress. I want this meeting to happen and i want there to be an agreement between the United States and iran and france will play the role that its meant to play together with the United Kingdom, with germany and all of the other Signatory Powers and the permanent members of the security council. Iran is a country thats not the same country it was two and a half years ago when i came into office. Iran was the number one state of terror throughout the world. There were 18 sites of confliction
thug-acrocay than we do with iran, a theocracy. tensions are rising in the arabian gulf as this summer unfolds. we heard president trump there indicate that he thinks that china is sincere in wanting a deal. do you agree? okay. well, china has not changed what it says its stipulations for coming back to the table are. when china says something like we need to have calm negotiations, we need to remember what those stipulations are. one of them is that trump drop the tariffs. he s not going to do that. the other is respect our sovereignty, a kind of nebulus, unclear what that means. the last is trump needs to stop demanding that china buy so many u.s. goods. so none of those three points are being addressed by president trump. that has been china s line since may, and i don t think we re really speaking on the same
the opinion poll, the president has a 21% positive rating there in the uk compared to former president obama s 72% visiting for a state visit. how would you gauge this president s popularity in the uk? kendis, i say this often. president trump will never recover from this. after all, the british people elected him to lead them and that s what he is doing there, going to visit them and bestow the grace upon them but the main point that president trump is going to the united kingdom because he s very much invested in its future, focusing on brexit. he wants there to be basically, you know, a re-establishing national sovereignty, something he ran on in 2016. governing on behalf of the voters and rejecting of the control of this nebulus and distant bureaucrats who have been trying to dictate british
sarah, is the pressure mounting on the president to move on the sanctions or is he unaffected by this? i think the pressure has been there a little while. the indictments definitely throw that into sharp belief. we already knew that russians meddled in the election but this shows how and why they did it in a lot more detail that really will amp up the pressure on president trump to pass sanctions that already overwhelmingly made it through congress. okay. seema, your thoughts on that? does this put more pressure on the president? i think it does and shows the american people. we were talking about russian interference in the election. it was a nebulus idea. this shows how the government was sending russians over here, stealing people s identity, planning rallies. this shows concrete details in a way we haven t seen before. after h.r. mcmasters saying overseas unequivocally there was russian meddling now. seema, we have the midterm elections coming up what has the administration
melissa: new reaction to the resignation of michael flynn. sean spicer saying it came down to trust not any legal issue. rom johnson raising questions about all the intel leaks leading up to flynn s resignation. somebody in the nebulus intelligence commune. those questions have to be asked. who tapped the phones? who was listening to it? who leaked it? those are legitimate questions to ask. leaks like this are damaging to america, to our national security, and we need to look into it. melissa: joe triffy is a fox news contributor. joe, let me start with you.
