this Fox News Alert new reaction to the Secretary of State on Capitol Hill after
the White House announced that another summit with Russian President Vladimir
Putin will be delayed until next year White House National Security Advisor
John Bolton saying quote the President believes that the next bilateral meeting
with President Putin should take place after the Russia witch hunt is over so
we've agreed that it will be after the first of the year
this as during a tense Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing yesterday
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo squared off with lawmakers over the president's
recent summit with Putin and the NATO summit watch this what is it that causes
the president purposely purposely create distrust in these institutions and what
we're doing right I just disagree with most of what you just said there you
somehow disconnect the administration's activities from the president's actions
they're there they're the one and the same mrs. president Trump's
administration make no mistake who's fully in charge of this and who was
directing each of these activities that has caused vitam reporting to be in a
very difficult place today I noticed that you are not responding to what I'm
saying I think I think I responded to everything that you a senator hits the
president's public statements that create concern amongst senators on both
sides of the aisle the ranking Democrat on the committee Senator Bob Menendez
also clashing with Pompeo when he had a chance did he confront Putin and say we
don't recognize your annexation of Crimea the president was very clear with
Vladimir Putin about u.s. position and he told you that senator I'm telling you
what he had a conversation with Vladimir Putin about and I'm telling you what US
policy is today I understand senator I understand the game that you're playing
no no you know mr. secretary that all due respect I don't appreciate you
characterizing my questions senator presidents are permitted to have
conversations with their cabinet members that aren't repeated in public Pompeyo
also defending the president's recent summit with North Korean leader Kim
jong-un amid new signs of progress today as the regime is reportedly preparing to
return the remains of US servicemen killed in the Korean War as early as
Friday Lisa given that note I watched part of
that hearing yesterday and thought to myself
lord have mercy doesn't this man have more to do with his time than sit in
front of these lawmakers and it's a waste of our time as well it's got to be
painful to sit in front of the committee and take some of those questions but I
actually thought he did a really phenomenal job and what I think he did
that was so important is reiterating the fact that this president has been very
tough on Russia and much tougher than the previous administration and Senator
Marco Rubio who's been a critic of President Trump on foreign policy issues
admitted as much he even said at the committee yesterday that president
Trump's been tougher than any other president at by the air since the end of
the Cold War so I think that was important for a Pompeo to point that out
I also thought there was an interesting exchange with senator jeanne Shaheen
because she was basically very complimentary of what they're doing in
Syria right now and Mike Pompeo response was oh so you like what this
administration is doing those are the policies of this administration so I
thought he was great for reiterating and making it more clear what this
administration has been doing all the harshest critic yesterday was the
Republican chair of the committee and you just played the tape of senator bob
Corker asking very profound questions that go on both sides of the aisle
the president says things that causes chaos and the president doesn't tell the
people around him what's going on Director of National Intelligence dan
coates has to find out in Aspen Colorado in front of a bunch of lefties that he's
trying to persuade the Vladimir Putin is coming to the White House the president
didn't tell Mike Pompeo would he presumably didn't what he and President
Putin even spoke about it these are things that drive senators crazy but let
me stop you there I'm gonna channel my best Melissa Francis and say it's the
walk not the talk and the walk is that Mike Pompeo said
u.s. doesn't recognize Russia's & Xing of Crimea sanctions won't be relieved
until Russia leaves Crimea our approach has been the same to steadily raise the
cost of aggression and tilt Putin chooses a less confrontational thing to
do and there could be additional targeted sanctions that would prove it
but the problem the problem is and I hear you on the walk and I hear you on
the talk but prior to the Secretary of State saying that I think the American
people regardless of their party were very confused the president said and I
quote Crimea is Russian the president says that he didn't see any reason why
Russia was responsible for hacking the elections in 2016
on one day on another day he says something else which is very confusing
to the American people and confusing as to where does his loyalty lie if you're
attacking our intelligence agencies but you're applauding a guy who lives on a
soccer ball with a transmitter in it but a Harris where I grew up we say money
talks and walks sanctions are money sanctions are hitting them where it
hurts sanctions that we put in place earlier this year were on Putin's
cronies and their brushes place in the world is really what's key here and and
you talked about Shaheen she was on with me yesterday on overtime this senator
and also the Republican senator Barrasso and they were talking about what they
would be asking in that Foreign Relations Committee hearing and I heard
a lot of sameness I heard a lot around the issue of not just what went on in
the last summit but how is the next summit going to be different now I
pressed should there be more people in the room this was before we learned that
it won't be happening it doesn't matter when it happens whether it was going to
be you know in the fall or it's gonna be at the first of next year whenever it is
is there going to be a relook at who sits in the room and how they do it
secretary Pompeo one second judge said Secretary Pompeo was the right person to
take those questions yesterday I think both sides of the political aisle were
tough bob menendez you saw him you saw a lot of tough questions that actually
need to be asked at this point but I would say this Pompeyo is the man who
made North Korea happened in terms of getting
everybody to the table remember he met with their top spy chief just ahead of
being nominated as the secretary of state gotta say that that's a defense of
secretary prepare no Secretary of State enjoys sitting there and being badgered
about what did the president tell you and what did you tell the president
so his non answers are really what he's there to do to preserve the
confidentiality of his communications with the president I want to raise one
issue so there is not going to be a summit between President Trump and Putin
until the beginning of the new year that has to be a relief for any
Republican running for election or re-election come November that's but
let's focus on the economy and to that aspect security that ask the security
forum that you were talking about we know that at least three congressional
candidates had that there have been attempted hacks by Russia on them so you
wait to see what happened you because of Microsoft you wait to see what happens
at your point so it isn't just a politics we have to that if we've gotten
a right to protect our elections against a member but another thing Pompeyo made
clear yesterday too is because people were complimentary of some of the
actions guess what that's President Trump who do you think is president the
United States right now president trucks were the decision-making on Russia and
the actions of this administration reflect him because he is the president
the United States so I thought it was good that that was reiterated yesterday
as well and the American people saw Mike Pompey and said Trump's lucky to have
him as Secretary of State at this point there you go it's deadline day for the
Trump administration as it works to reunite thousands of migrant children
separated from their fair share parents their families this as tempers
reportedly flared during a closed-door meeting between Kirsten Neilson and
Democrats the details ahead
we understand that the president and the next short little while will be at the
Community College in Iowa this northeast college there we're waiting him to take
the lectern and he is going to be touring the campus first and then the
roundtable discussion on Workforce Development what you see in the center
of the stage so he'll tour the campus and then that event up on the dais
actually there's not electron this comes one day after agreed with the president
of the European Union for both sides to pull back from a trade war here's the
president yesterday we agreed today first of all to work together toward
zero tariffs zero non-tariff barriers and zero subsidies on non auto
industrial goods thank you and the European Union is going to start almost
immediately to buy a lot of soybeans they're a tremendous market buy a lot of
soybeans from our farmers meanwhile Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is
defending the administration's trade tactics saying the White House is
working to reverse some very old policies that are no longer relevant
took us since World War two to get to the current unfortunate trade deficit
right after World War two American public policy was rebuild Europe rebuild
Asia those were good then but should have
been time limited so it's a lot of history that we have to deal with what
we now need is to lower the barriers that they were permitted to erect
relative to us you know I want to start off and maybe not get too deep into the
numbers here but just kind of a baseline and then talk politics we can always
come back to the numbers that's the base of the morning to me
sometimes we'll kind of get there she's the queen of numbers should we have been
surprised at all about the EU situation considering when the President and the
European Union president came out first Yunker Younker said you know we see some
ground here where we can come together I'm paraphrasing but it sounded positive
before the deal was even made the fact that jean-claude juncker went to the
White House in the first place was a was a sign that there was going something
positive was going to come this was a de-escalation of trade tensions with
Europe it was a tariff truce if you will one of the most important things it
looks like right now we've pulled away from the idea that we're gonna slap
tariffs on automobile imports into the United States from Europe even bigger
picture if China's the real enemy the the country that steals our intellectual
property and they forced the surrender of Technology on America and they cheat
around the globe we can now potentially lock arms with Europe lock arms with our
allies and take on China one by one the steel and aluminum tariffs are still
doing great damage to small US manufacturers even big companies are
getting hit by these chariots GM Ford coca-cola is even gonna race far sooner
positive the the farmers because of the retaliation from China they also agreed
Europe bid to buy more soybeans and to buy more liquefied natural gas that was
good news so I don't I don't want to act like you just described the president's
base in the Rust Belt and the Corn Belt and he cannot afford to antagonize them
by making their businesses less profitable and their household expenses
more costly 30 hopes to a House of Representatives of Wisconsin a whole lot
of dairy farmers there is said to me yesterday on the air that yet you cannot
alienate those Trump supporters because they hinged on the very issue of jobs
right so if you if you kill what their livelihood is bill hands right back and
become more independent potentially end up in Leslie Marshalls camp if they can
get out of socialism we'll have to see if that can work you know what I find
interesting about this - the Democrats want the tariffs because
it will bring them votes no the Democrats the Democrats have wanted
tariffs quite frankly for years I mean if you listen to the Union messages and
Democrats are very Pro Union they have been screaming for over a decade we have
been in a trade war for over a decade we have had a deficit a trade deficit which
does not benefit the United States I agree with you with regarding China
they're our number-one enemy if you will with regard to trade and I think that we
need this power with the EU in both sides benefited yesterday because the
United States needs the Democrats were interesting on this because they were
kind of letting the Republicans battle it out in those states where the
president has such a wide base real quickly let's get to some breaking news
if we can I told you that the president is on the ground at Northeast Iowa
Community College in P hasta and now he is getting his tour on that Community
College today is a day about the American worker this follows his
executive order in recent days establishing a president's National
Council on the American workforce and the American worker policy advisory
board that he has set up he will tour this advanced manufacturing laboratory
at this community college and it includes a demonstration are we gonna
get to see the robotics on camera I don't know how fast the store goes and
we don't have a whole lot of audio can we dip in I'm not sure if we can but
gosh when they get to the robots that's always the exciting part and then after
that is the part that we all want to watch for this president will talk about
the economy and his vision for American workers we won't miss a beat let's take
a quick commercial and come back you stay without number
