Huawei Arrest Shows Trump Has No Game Plan Against China - Duration: 2:47.

Huawei Arrest Shows Trump Has No Game Plan Against China

By escalating tensions over national security, the United States may be hurting its own position in trade talks.

Ms. Ford, a former Defense Department official, served as senior adviser to the assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security !-- --affairs!-- -- from 2009 to 2015. Ms. Cutler served as acting deputy United States trade representative from 2013 to 2015.

The arrest of Meng Wanzhou, a top executive at one of China's most strategically important companies, on the same day that President Trump and China's president, Xi Jinping, declared a 90-day "truce" in their trade war, is a diplomatic curveball that may fulfill some national security goals but could complicate upcoming trade talks with Beijing.

The administration is going to face many more difficult moments like this as its steps up competition with China, but its actions thus far suggest that it doesn't have a fully formed plan for how to manage the task.

While it appears that the timing of Ms. Meng's arrest was coincidental, this is not the impression in Beijing, where the move is seen as a political play to create leverage on trade or cripple Chinese technology companies. If this is not the case, the administration needs to come out much more clearly with a solid message about Ms. Meng's arrest and where it fits within broader American goals toward China.

Moreover, the fact that American officials allowed the summit to play out without raising the issue — or informing Mr. Trump, apparently — sends another muddled message to Beijing. Does it suggest the administration will continue to throw curveballs regardless of what China brings to the table? Or does it simply reveal a team that is hopelessly divided between factions with competing goals? Either way, if China concludes that the United States will pursue a barrage of punitive actions no matter what steps China takes to address American concerns, this will leave Beijing with little appetite to make meaningful concessions.

It's also not clear what this arrest means for upcoming trade talks. If the administration's aim is to build pressure and create leverage against China, this approach is unlikely to work. In his comments to NPR, the public radio network, on Thursday, John R. Bolton, President Trump's national security adviser, was reluctant to directly discuss the arrest. Instead he emphasized issues like intellectual property — signaling a seriousness about tackling structural problems on trade. This is a worthy goal, but it is unlikely that Ms. Meng's arrest will, by itself, produce much leverage. Taking aim at a single company, even one as valuable as Huawei, is unlikely to shift deep-seated interests and practices in the Chinese economy.

The administration would instead be wise to more assertively send the message that the arrest is a law enforcement action separate from trade talks. Suggestions by anonymous administration officials that Ms. Meng's arrest could be used as leverage in upcoming trade discussions undermines the message about national security and, frankly, seems like an afterthought.

If Ms. Meng and Huawei violated the law, then the United States has every right to seek her arrest and bring her to trial. Suggesting that this principle is for sale would cheapen the idea that the United States cares about playing by the rules. It would also signal to American allies and to China that American concerns about technology theft or violations of sanctions against Iran can simply be traded away for other priorities. Using the arrest for political ends could also encourage China and other nations to employ more heavy-handed tactics against American businesses in the future.

The arrest also has some potential second-order effects. Although Beijing's public response to the Huawei arrest has so far been measured, Chinese social media forums are already full of suggestions for potential retaliatory moves. If tensions escalate, there could be new risks for American executives working abroad.

If that happens, how will the administration respond? What if China retaliates against not just the United States but against allies like Canada, where Ms. Meng was arrested for extradition to the United States? The administration has been pushing countries such as Canada, Britain and Australia to support not only its approach to technology theft but also Iran sanctions. They will need assurances that the United States will stand beside them if the going gets tough.

Moreover, continued moves against Chinese technology firms will have long-term implications for America's interests abroad. The administration is right to be concerned about America's technological prowess and protecting sensitive infrastructure. But if our actions lead China to accelerate its plans to achieve self-sufficiency in key technologies — a likely development — we will be creating a more formidable competitor. Are we ready?

The administration has legitimate concerns about China's commitment to playing by the rules on both trade and national security. But at multiple points this year — including the president's last-minute U-turn over sanctions on the Chinese technology firm ZTE and the deployment of tariffs against American allies on national security grounds — it has been its own worst enemy. With Ms. Meng's arrest, the administration faces perhaps its biggest test yet. It needs to show that its actions are part of a solid game plan to protect American national security interests and promote national competitiveness. That's the deal the American people deserve.

Donald Trump throws his support behind Paris 'yellow vest' protests - Duration: 4:30.

 Donald Trump appeared to back the yellow vest protesters in a provocative message to Emmanuel Macron, the French president, claiming that the Paris climate change agreement had triggered the unrest

 The US president also claimed protesters were chanting his name on the streets of the French capital, as his rift with Mr Macron continued to deepen

 As demonstrators were clashing with police in Paris and protests were being held across France on Saturday, Mr Trump said: "The Paris Agreement isn't working out so well for Paris

Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment

Chanting 'We Want Trump!' Love France."  Sunday Telegraph reporters, placed across the city, heard no such chants

 He later tweeted that the protests were "very sad" and reiterated his call for Mr Macron to pull out of the Paris climate change deal, and agree to lower taxes

 He did not specify how he believed the agreement and taxes were linked. Very sad day & night in Paris

Maybe it's time to end the ridiculous and extremely expensive Paris Agreement and return money back to the people in the form of lower taxes? The U

S. was way ahead of the curve on that and the only major country where emissions went down last year!— Donald J

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 8, 2018  The provocative intervention comes at a difficult moment for Mr Macron, who has taken pride in his ability to "manage" Mr Trump

 Last year he invited him to Paris for the Bastille Day celebrations, rolling out the red carpet and leaving the US leader so impressed he wanted his own military parade in Washington DC

 Mr Trump then returned the honour, inviting Mr Macron and his wife Brigitte in April to the one and only state dinner he has held so far

 The two men cemented their friendship by planting a tree on the White House lawn

Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron plant a tree, as a symbol of their friendship, in April  But in recent months the relationship has soured

 Mr Macron used his Armistice Day speech to deliver a pointed rebuke to Mr Trump's nationalism, and Mr Trump hit back, mocking his French counterpart and saying he should try to "make France great again"

 Mr Macron responded by saying that France would not be pushed around by the United States

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ROBERT MUELLER MIGHT BE FIRED BY DONALD TRUMP - Duration: 10:06.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ROBERT MUELLER MIGHT BE FIRED BY DONALD TRUMP

President Donald Trump gave Robert Mueller and the White House press corps a brush back

pitch on Friday.

Speaking to reporters the president said that it was he, and not his attorneys, that answered

questions from Mueller and that they were simple, The Daily Mail reported.

President Trump says that he responded to the special counsel's written questions

— not his lawyers— and that he did so quite easily.

'They were my answers — I don't need lawyers to do that,' he told a reporter

asking about a Washington Post story that quoted one of his attorneys.

Rudy Giluliani had said that the president's attorneys were working with him on the answers

to make sure he didn't fall into a perjury trap.

'There are some that create more issues for us legally than others,' he told the

Post.

Trump gave him a brush back as he unexpectedly invited reporters into the Oval Office on

Friday for a bill signing.

'My lawyers aren't working on that, I'm working on that.

My lawyers don't write the answers, I write the answers,' he insisted.

Without revealing the content of the questions, Giuliani told The Post that some of them were

'unnecessary' or 'irrelevant' and others were 'possible traps.'

The president acknowledged Friday that a person could be 'tripped up' by questions with

apparently simple responses based on whether it was sunny or it was raining.

'It was raining therefore he told a lie.

He perjured himself,' Trump mimicked.

'You have to always be careful when you answer questions from people who probably

have bad intentions.'

The Post and others reported that Trump is in a dark mood, and that's why he's kept

his distance over the past week, barely leaving the White House, and sent out tweets accusing

Mueller of witness intimidation.

'I'm not agitated.

It's a hoax,' Trump said Friday, slapping the rumors down.

He told assembled press, 'I'm very happy with the White House.'

'I'm extremely happy,' he repeated.

'I'm very happy with almost all of my Cabinet.

You know changes are made because they're always made after the midterms.

But it's all fake news.'

Reports this week also claimed that Trump was thinking of booting his Homeland Security

Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who was in the Oval Office on Friday for Trump's remarks.

He admitted that he was considering it in an interview with The Daily Caller and said

he'd make a decision shortly.

Nielsen was still in her job on Friday as the president set his sights on an old target.

He alleged in tweets ranging over several hours that the special counsel's office

is full of 'thugs' who are intimidating potential witnesses and refusing to probe

Democrats' bad acts.

'The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess.

They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts,' he claimed in a rage on

Thursday morning.

'They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with

the answers they want.'

Where the president derived the information from is unclear, but the charge coincided

with reports that he'd been meeting with his legal team this week in Washington to

review written responses to questions posed by the special counsel that Trump intends

to submit to Mueller.

He is also working with a new acting attorney general, Matt Whitaker, who he put in charge

of the Russian meddling investigation when he dismissed ex-Justice Department

head Jeff Sessions.

Subpoenas For Trump Coming Soon In Emoluments Lawsuit - Duration: 3:51.

It's not very often that we actually get to report on any good news happening in this

country, but earlier this week we got some really good news from a federal judge who

ruled that the emoluments case lawsuits against Donald Trump in both Maryland and the district

of Columbia.

Not only can they go forward, but they can go ahead and start with subpoenas and the

discovery process.

This means that this case is pretty much going to be headed to trial in the very near future.

And you know what though, even if it doesn't end up heading to trial, the fact that discovery

has begun might be all that we need because the, uh, um, attorneys, General Maryland and

district Columbia, they know exactly what they're doing.

They know that they don't have to bring this to trial to be successful.

All they have to do, all they had to do was get to that discovery point where they could

then subpoena documents from the Trump organization documents that had been without a scrutiny

for years and now they have access to them.

That is what this judge ruled this week.

It's time.

Go for it.

Make it happen, and in case you're not familiar with these emoluments cases, what's happened

is that Donald Trump's properties that he owns, he still has a financial stake in them.

He still owns them for all we know.

He might even still be running them, but he gets a cut of the profits.

So when you have foreign dignitaries coming and staying in these hotels are on these properties

or even at his golf courses, uh, any money spent there eventually makes its way back

to Trump in the form of profits.

So it is illegal according to the emoluments clause of the US Constitution for a sitting

president to take any form of emoluments, cash, gift, whatever it is, from a foreign

dignitary, by them staying in Trump's hotels and paying, you know, their nightly rate,

that profit goes back to Trump.

That is an illegal emoluments.

Sounds complicated.

Sounds silly at times, but that's the law.

That's why presidents are supposed to divest everything they have.

They're not supposed to have interest in any business in the United States to avoid these

constitutional problems.

Donald Trump didn't do that.

He still gets the profits.

Now, what could happen from this, and this is a long shot, probably never would have

a chance of ever really happening, but I'm going to throw it out there just in the off

chance it does.

If these lawsuits are successful, Donald Trump would be forced to sell off his businesses

to get rid of any financial stake that he hasn't any Trump property around the world.

He'll never do that.

He already sees the walls closing in on him with a muller investigation, with all of the

other investigations than New York investigation.

But this one, this one has a lot of power to force him to leave office on his own because

when it comes down to whether or not he wants to make money or be president, Trump is going

to choose money every single time.

Hell, that's why he ran for president.

He's making a ton of money right now.

A lot of it off the backs of American taxpayers, so if they force him through these lawsuits

to sell off his properties and no longer have a financial interest in them, combined with

all of the other pressure coming on him from the other side, I firmly believe that if that

were to happen, he would step down and say, no, my businesses are too important.

I need to do this.

This is for the workers are those, uh, you know, companies, the businesses, I've got

to protect them so I'm doing this for them.

Whatever his excuses are, there is however slight the potential of this case, the force

that man to resign.
