foreign policy in europe as well as u.s. military interest in europe and the nato alliance. this is one hour 20 minutes. >> good morning. order.aring is called i am happy to welcome wes mitchell to discuss u.s. foreign policy in europe. mr. secretary, i appreciate you coming and i look forward to the back-and-forth. i would ask consent in my written opening remarks, i just want to make some quick points. i'm accountant. accountant. i like data. one issue relates to our nato partners meeting their 2% commitment. what does that mean, dollar wise? we asked the state department, in 2016, the shortfall was $122 billion of defense spending. they have increased by $14.4 billion. go up another $10 billion in 2018. now shortfall is $98 billion. toare told from 2000 19 2024, there will be a $62 billion shortfall. it kind of puts that into perspective in terms of what that actually is. ourve discussed this with allies, friends, and partners. i try to make a point that it is not just president trump. he is speaking for the american public very we expect america to be steadfast in our re

they wanted to go to europe. i said great, go to europe, but why did they need and in nato? these are not the words of an ideologue. it's a sort of a ruthless pragmatist. not uniquely ruthless. interesting enough, gorbachev supported the annexation of crimea and the occupation of the georgia. so what did kennan have to say? very wise again 1998, agent for come with side up to protect a whole series of countries even those with neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. so coming back to the marshall plan to wrap up, i believe this historical lesson is this. we remember in the marshall plan today because it was visionary, because it stirred peoples imaginations. but it was also hardheaded and it succeeded because it was hardheaded. if we had defined success to include, for example, bringing czechoslovakia and paul if the marshall plan we would've failed. why? because we would've had to go to war with the soviet union. to do that the american public would never have supported it and there for what we talk today about today is the greatest success in a

and europe. >> how does europe need to respond to that? within eu -- the european and nato members, or outside of it? europe has made moves, 23 members of t the eu, to strengtn their defense and secured cooperation in an initiative -- is that a competitive threat to nato or necessary. move by europee to get to its own feet? >> i cannot interpret or read this as a threat to nato. it is adding something special. adding a special value to nato and their efforts. plan for thengency day, unlikely day, hopefully we will never see it, when the u.s. says we are not there anymore. europe has to prepare, has to strengthen its own structures and industry basis to produce new modern weapons. in order to meet scenarios like this. we are not there yet. europe needs to shape its own defense future. >> the idea of the u.s. saying we are no longer there for you. the soundbite we heard from donald trump at the rally. it was intended for his base but he says that he implies that the u.s. does not get very much for the money that it puts into nato. the old tr

and europe so how does europe need to respond to that christian trip either with in nato the european nato members or outside of it we have seen europe taking moves now twenty three members of the e.u. to strengthen their defense and security cooperation in an initiative known as pes go is that actually a competitive threat to nato or is it a necessary and and essentially long overdue move by europe to get onto its own feet i think so i can't interpret or read this as a threat to nato it's. adding some something special adding. a special value to nato and nato has efforts and it's assault in my mind as a sort of contingency planning for the day of the unlikely day of the day we hopefully never see when the u.s. says ok we're no longer there so maybe europe has to prepare has to strengthen its own structures its industrial base is to produce not in weaponry in order to meet scenarios like this that we're not there yet so i don't want to solve a mystery to you but europe needs to shape its own defense future test of barker the idea of the u.s. saying we're no longer there for you if i c

but western europe. stuff like that happens all the time over there and strangely enough nobody's ever allowed to talk about it to me and that a common enemy unites people this particular enemy is hungry an american billionaire george soros or bonds government has cast him as a model for how illegal migration can threaten hungary and heritage their hearts we will fight against everything that the imperial of george soros is doing to hungary and this planning to do this is our life our home we have no other that's why we will fight for it to our last breath we won't ever give up so hard i. always fall against some kind of enemy in one nine hundred eighty nine it was the cameron ism and the upcoming decades it proved to be liberalism the european union and i.m.f. they come with. the migration now the united nations everybody that is. not a fan of politics. n.g.o.s that soros supports are being harassed like amnesty international not long ago legislation was passed that made it much harder for n.g.o.s to op

section 3 the europe union 1972 is the jurisdiction of the europe court domestic law. and that is going through the field. prime minister may: we acknowledge in the white paper, the roles the europe court of justice has in the interpretation of europe union law. and that is acknowledged in the white paper. but we will be not under the jurisdiction of the europe court of justice. through the proposals that are in here, as we say in those cases where there is a dispute which involves the thereretation of e.u. law was significant volume, significant amount of case law already in existence in relation to the interpretation of those rules many of which have not changed for some time. then it will be possible through those processes to ask for an opinion from the europe court of justice on the interpretation of e.u. law. the europe court of justice would not determine any dispute that takes place that is in question at the time. the court of one party cannot feed the arbiter in terms of a dispute between two parties. higher arcy of dispute that takes place. the europe court

against europe since 1979. it is important for them to remember the kind of regime they are dealing with. you mentioned the significant component of the iran strategy, the activities in the region. have you seen any change since the with drawl from the agreement -- withdraw from the ement, specifically in support of the assad regime? iran and yemen are backing all the wrong people. that has contributed to enormous violence and suffering in the region. we put out a number of statements that summarizes what iran has been doing in syria. these iranian-backed forces are perpetuating the a side regime -- assad regime's brutality against the syrian people. it has spilled into neighboring countries. this is the expansionist policy that iran has been pursuing. the money they received under the iran deal has been used to fund these activities. >> thank you, everybody.

that went too far clearly but you know it nobody tries to create in europe nobody tries to segregate communities they do it themselves and it is very easy for example for asians to. melt in and become members of society but we have some some part of the population that refuses to want to impose their culture in the public space like islam for example that's the main problem if not the only problem in europe that's where we have the issue that's where the people feel there is an issue and the fake news is not what people think it is hiding it by the official press of mr michael and others you know on the fourteenth of july in the evening after the football match was on the show as it is a by the minority people coming from the areas of france where the police doesn't even dare go there were hundreds of cars burnt and not the cars of the rich people are the cause of the poor people of the same area this should stop people a voice the idea that singapore was the perfect place where the mixing was perfect to the interests of all times and singapore is perfect but singapore is a very toug

in may, 1945, the war in europe came to an end. this had been the price of europe's unpreparedness. but in may, 1945, our hard-won peace seemed at last secured. a few days before, allied forces from the west had joined hands with the russians from the east. their statesmen met cordially at yalta and pakistan and agreed the countries they occupied should be truly liberated and freely elected governments should be set up as soon as possible. within a few months, the countries of western europe and scandinavia were free and independent. for the countries occupied by russia, stalin had other ideas. throughout eastern europe, elections were held. but the russians had placed the communists in key government positions and in the secret police. within a short time, the non-communist leaders had been liquidated. russia had swallowed up eight european countries without firing another shot other than those of the execution squads. great britain and the united states protested that these countries had ben: worst -- had ced by force and russia had broken her treaty. russia ignored the protest. s

as we stand here all these millions of animals are being transported across europe but sorry europe and the game else today was that the commissioner promised that because of this up with this he's able to keep this topic hard on the european union is it john. the animal rights activists are under no illusions some of what missed the transportation of the animals and their final destinations for themselves. in our work we have witnessed things beyond imagination anyone we have seen european any mars being. having their eyes that having their attendance lesh. while transport conditions within the e.u. have steadily improved things apparently have not changed much for the animals after they arrive abroad. there's a reason why prying eyes here are unwelcome. to the show this hidden footage to the e.u. commissioner. we brought the is attention what is happening with european and he marched off toward their least their european soil being cute and transported you know way which would be the good in european union it's a thing that nobody can accept any more. we want to track cattle and sheep

this man is also challenging europe and its political leaders. don't want to kind of garner plenty of support back home in turkey their europe becomes a handy scapegoat for self-made problems religious and nationalistic supporters respond particularly well. the state powers treat their opponents anything but delicately be they kurds unionists feminists or journalists tear gas and water cannons have become a routine way to meet protests those who attract the president's ire are quick to find themselves in court or jail. a failed coup d'etat in the summer of twenty sixteen only aggravated tensions. the officers behind the attack were sent to have close ties to fatuma galanes islamic movement the putsch targeted key governmental infrastructure such as the country's intelligence headquarters the parliament building and the presidential residence. public anger erupted. the soldiers were lynched in the streets including young recruits proven to have been deceived by their generals about the true intentions of the attack in just twenty four hours the re

what you've been discussing puts the question, where is europe? europe has been standing at the side and watching for a long time. this week there was a secret meeting in berlin, angela merkel, and the german foreign minister met the russian foreign minister. it came out, the german government did not comment, but the russian foreign ministry did, an excellent meeting, they were also talking about refugees. there is some information, and i think this is part of the whole dynamic that is now happening, that europe now will come in and help build up syria, and this is part of the russian plan. so russia does not have the money to build up syria again, and the europeans are keen to build up syria. they want safety and security, but they want the refugees to go back to syria. the moral argument is part, if you remember, there was a time when the allied forces talked about allying themselves with assad to remove isis, and then they were talking about working with the rebels to remove assad, so this is a constantly moving moral set of dilemmas. the whol

guy: how do you feel about europe right now? you talk about europe being neutral. we came into the year, europe sort of charging as it did back in 2017. it feels like a very different place. ,ou have merkel under pressure the migration story, all kinds of pressure swelling under your right now -- europe right now. how does it europe look from a technical chart point of view? david: you look at the top level stock index, it is a sideways range. you have these want to be divergent stories. argue some of the materials of sectors and defense sectors are doing quite well. and europeans banks. insurance is starting to deteriorate as well. it is this completely spent -- split. there are clear -- stories. guy: you've got the dax. are there any standout areas? david: i think italy is still under more pressure than spain. i think it is done very well relatively to what the banks have done. it had a huge year last year. think -- i still think there is not enough to go --. the periphery is ready to be solidly investable again. in countries in europe, if you look at somewhere l

and more specifically that of a strong europe within a stable eurasia that is strong europe within a stable eurasia well i think this is the destiny that is starting to emerge today and that mr trump is actually accelerating. because we'll take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to. the former prime minister of france discussing many other pressing issues e.u. and france in particular have to deal with stay with us. financial survival today was all about money laundering first to visit this cash into three different. is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something if you're going to america something over the cayman islands it will pull these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy who decide after all it's a murder to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacey old beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile for mac. you know what money laundering. thank you so much has a record. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depe

the fear of europe itself clearly you're absolutely right to say that troubles or or rather challenges always start at home so stop pointing to the other look in your own backyard to see what your challenges are and indeed in our european backyard i'm not sure i agree with you when you imply that you know when europeans are looking at russia. they kind of forget what we know as europeans to russia to what you call russia russian nationalism and i'd rather call you know russian courage russian pride i would call it peter it is but it ultimately based on the very strong national feeling yes absolutely so we know we all you and me and others want to use the term patrick ism to say that's the positive the the fighting for the right cause you know dimension of nationalism so you like me and i think many people in russia will make this distinction between the kind of national attachment that leads you to defend values to defend values against nazism to defend values against all sorts of of problems in the world also to be sunny day with one another to help one another i mean all of these ele

europe. they share our democratic values. they are our most important trading partner. the post-world war ii order which was ushered in with the spirit of relative global stability never before seen in the world was reliant on the continued alliance of the united states and europe. we have always had our grievances. we may want them to spend more money on defense. they might when asked to shoulder more burden on world crises and not leave it all on them. relationship is just as important, europe is just as important a partner is it ever has been. the other thing to make clear, donald trump is attempting to theh nato and smash european union relationship. they may show up to hearings on capitol hill. they may say all of the right things about the strength of the transatlantic alliance and america's rock-solid commitment to nato. i for them say that. i heard that said on television this weekend. i watched secretary pompeo come to the senate foreign relations committee and testify as such before congress. that people who work for president trump do not set u.s. policy. the

michael went on to say that in the future europe will not be able to rely on the u.s. to be the world's peacekeeper she said that was legitimate and that europe had to solve its own regional conflicts including military wants the chancellor also said she had no problem with trump meeting with president putin and russia has been under international sanctions sense of a mixed crimea in two thousand and fourteen. even though. i think it has to become normal again for u.s. presidents to meet with russian presidents. after all ninety percent of the world's nuclear arsenal is held by these two countries. on migration mackle said she remains concerned about how the issue has divided europe. it's yeah. it's quite obvious that this puts under a lot of pressure. the fact this issue affects every e.u. member state means of course that it will take longer to solve this it shows how divided we are over the issue. but i believe finding a common solution for migration is crucial to the future of the european union. not only in europe and recent weeks migration policy has exposed to v

i think it's been very bad for europe i think europe is a place i know very well and i think that what has happened is very tough it's a very tough situation i mean you see the same terror attacks that i do we see him a lot and we just left some incredible young men men and women at sandhurst and they were showing the cells and they were showing us things that frankly twenty years ago nobody even thought about probably a lot more recently than that nobody even thought about i just think it's changing the culture i think it's a very negative thing for europe i think it's very negative i think having germany and i have a great relationship with angela merkel great relationship of germany but i think that's. very much church germany i think it's very much hurt other parts of europe and i know it's politically not necessarily correct to say that but i'll say it and i'll say it loud and i think they better watch themselves because you are changing culture your changing a lot of things you're changing security it's a look at what's happening i mean you take a look at look at what's happening

beijing remains open for trade with europe. the chinese premiere telling eastern and central european leaders that china will continue to open up its market and strengthen times with the continent. we're in beijing eunice, what can you tell us >> well, hadley, i think you guys hit the nail on the held. i think china is on a charm offensive with the europeans because they're in the middle of a trade war with the united states he's meeting with the chancellor, angela merkel and this comes after a weekend in bulgaria where he was talking with several eastern european leaders. his main message has been that he wants people to know that china is open for business when it comes to foreign investors. now, his visit comes at an important time because it's just ahead of an important event that's happening here in beijing next week. the eu china summit. it's going to be led in terms of the eu delegation by the president as well as as jean claude younger they'll be here. chung will be hosting this event as well. now, the main agenda items

, german, french cooperation, allowing europe to work in ways for the entire globe becomes increasingly important in years to come. any detail about that here and i will conclude at this point and say i look forward to taking your questions and do my best to answer them for you. >> what do you think of the invitation donald trump sent to vladimir putin, another such summit is a meaningful thing to do? and i understand you are limiting some of your travel -- >> i never like to talk about my travel plans. i am not going to talk about where i am going on holiday either. regarding the question, it has to be normal for us presidents to meet with russian presidents, 90% of the nuclear arsenal is held by these two countries. for disarmament reasons alone there are plenty of things you need to talk about. lots of other things they need to talk about. obviously why would i comment, and when i talk about it, a good thing. when these countries meet in terms of the head of state. since 2005 we have not had a russian president go to the united states of america so that shouldn't be the new normal, s

but she went on to say that in the future europe won't be able to rely on the u.s. to be the world's peacekeeper she said europe would have to solve its own wage no conflicts on migration the chancellor said she remains concerned about how the issue has divided europe and reiterated the need for solidarity fog of even. the question of how we proceed in europe whether we do it alone or at the expense of a third party and it's a central question of my policy. when we look at the state of illinois politics today there are many many reasons why europe should stay together since i'm in the did it was a statement also appointed as her interior minister horst say who for his divisive tactics concerning migration policy almost threaten to topple michael's ruling coalition. a heated debate can be necessary but she lamented the cool stone that had dominated the discussion. between ninety four fifths whole town was often military harsh and i place a lot of importance on language it doesn't is good to me i will personally always try to stay on the particular of erosion of langu

the new populism of europe? margarete: i don't think it has anything to do with populism. he thinks that tariffs are a good thing to do. my opinion is that they are a bad thing to do. it has shown and has also shown tenure andent bush's also obama. the tariffs have never helped anybody. they are like a boomerang, they will come back to the one sending it up. with have already seen this. harley davidson, for example. everybody laughed at the fact that we would put tariffs on harley davidson and what has happened? what we are seeing is exactly what has happened in the past. peggy so much, and now let us listen to the prime minister. >> we will be employing an additional 440 personnel to nato 's mission in afghanistan. that gives us a powerful voice in nato. has enabled us to work as we have done to ensure that nato adapts to meet the new threat of cyber terrorism. i'm sure at the summit we will be talking. president trump and all the allies around the table about how we can ensure that nato is adaptable and flexib
