The peninsula to ukraine. There is a clear path to restoring peace in eastern ukraine. A full and immediate implementation of the agreements which the United States continues to support. The mensk agreements. The un ambassador to the United Nations, sounding just as an ambassador traditionally does. Now, its confusing to mr trumps opponents, he is destabilising. I suspect that for his supporters, there is craft in the chaos the new president is unpredictable and going to have everyone yielding to him. Heres our diplomatic editor, mark urban. The National Prayer breakfast is a washington institution. A chance for politicians, movers and shakers to commune with the almighty. A chance also for President Trump to exhort them to keep the faith. When you hear about the tough phone calls im having, dont worry about it. Just dont worry. They are tough, we have to be tough, its time we have to be a little tough, folks, we are taken advantage of by every nation in the world, virtually. It is not
republicans. and steve you know this better than i do who don t sign on to this. but he is the president. so let me say something about europe. because this is not a story that s well-known. but ten years ago the united states and europe took very different approaches on energy. we went into the shale oil and gas revolution. german, france and, italy spain all the those countries went into the great energy sources you re talking about wend to wind absolar look at what s let me finish my point. today united states electricity prices are had half to a third of what they are in europe. europe s green energy and europe is moving away from solar and wind because it s been so expensive actually losing factories german to the united states because we have lower energy costs. one of the reason europes wants us all in is because they can t compete with us if you re using much cheaper energy than they are. this would level the playing field and ha that would cost american jobs. you said th
