The United States has had to pay for them. 10 or 20 years it is massive amounts of money the United States has paid and stepped up like nobody. This has gone on for decades. This has gone on for many president s. No other president brought it up like i bring it up. Were protecting germany, france, all of these countries and then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with russia. You tell me if thats appropriate. I think its not and i think its a very bad thing for nato and i dont think it should have happened. Sandra kevin corke is live in brussels. Meetings are underway. What has been the response to the president s sharp rhetoric on nato funding and in particular germanys contribution . Good morning. On the one hand the germans say were proud of the fact weve increased our defense commitment and contributions to nato. They had a more difficult time explaining why, as he heard the President Point out on the one hand theyre asking for the u. S. And nato partners and

Simple hes got himself a big prison sentence. Hes trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story. Very simply. Michael cohen is lying, and hes trying to get a reduced sentence for things that have nothing to do with me. Good morning. Welcome to am joy. Im Jonathan Capehart in for joy reid. Its clear why donald trump was so set on casting his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen as a liar last week. Federal prosecutors in new york filed two new Court Documents related to cohen ahead of his sentencing next week. Its clear drum sp a centraonal central figure. Prosecutors write this about alleged illegal hush money payments. In particular, and as cohen himself has now admitted with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of individual one. Individual one in these documents refers to donald trump. Thats important because it appears prosecutors are stating trumps role in directing the payment as plain fact. But Robert Muellers memo may
America. The readers are incredibly loyal to it. People have more of a fascination with this kind of stuff. Detractors say the tabloid is ground zero for fake news. They sent me the 30,000 over the wire. This was a magazine that frankly, in many respects, should be very respected. Donald trumps run for the white house inspired a whole new series of covers. Donald trump weaponized the National Enquirer in a way that hadnt been done. Its a perfect marriage. It is a marriage made in tabloid heaven. I think the game plan was for the National Enquirer to serve as an unofficial propaganda outlet for President Trump. But the enquirer made headlines of its own when it went after jeff bezos. This is extortion. It is crime. National enquirer is in the shame business. When we look back at the history of the National Enquirer, we will look at this moment as the point at which the National Enquirer began to have a profound influence on american politics. The prose is purple and it is sizzling by de
Up talks with japans Prime Minister shinzo abe saying he hopes to make big moves on trade soon as missile test by north korea divide the two leaders. Good morning, i am jon scott. At a joint News Conference, President Trump sounded off on the trade war with china saying the u. S. Isnt ready to make a deal, not yet anyway. He also refused to back down from his positive outlook on north korea insisting he is not worried despite his own advisors saying of the north is in violation of u. N. Resolutions. Im in no rush at all. In we have our hostages back. We are getting the remains and very importantly, but no Nuclear Testing for two years. As far as china is concerned, they want to make a deal. I think they probably wish they had the deal they had on the table before they try to renegotiate it. It would take in tens of billions of dollars of tariffs but i think sometime in the future, china and the United States will absolutely have a great trade deal. Julie chief White House Correspondent
