EVERY PRESIDENT SINCE

GET ALLIES TO PAY FAIR SHARE
PRINCIPLES BETWEEN WHAT THEY
HAVE BEEN PAYING ABOUT 1
PERCENT GDP WHEN A WE HAVE
NATIONS, MARRAB COLLECTIVELY

CORRECT, IF WE ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO SUBSIDIZE NATIONAL
DEFENSE, OF EUROPEAN NATO

BIG ISSUE, WITH PUTIN IN
RUSSIA WE KNOW THAT EUROPE
TAKE CARE THAT HAVE IF WE GET
AFTER THAT I I WOULD SAY TRADE
CONVERSATION IS APPROPRIATE
TRYING TO CREATE A MORE
LEVEL-PLAYING FIELD AFTER 70
YEARS UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN
TRADE ENVIRONMENT.
>> TRADE FIRST OFF WITH CHINA
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS
NOW CONFIRMING THEY ARE
LOOKING AT ASSESSING 10%
TARIFF ARE ON ADDITIONAL 200
BILLION DOLLARS IN CLOOINZ
GOODS WE HAVE EXPERIENCE HERE,
YOU DO, AS FORTUNE 500 CEO
WHAT I DO LIKE I LIKE THE
PRESIDENT FIGHTING FOR
AMERICAN WORKERS AMERICAN
COMPANIES TO GAIN A LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD YOU KNOW I SPENT
A DAY I WAS IN CHINA MET WITH
POLITBURO HEAD SPENT A DAY
WITH JACK ALIBABA NOT RIGHT
ALIBABA CAN DO CLOUD COMPUTING
IN U.S. WE NOT DO CLOUD
COMPUTE THERE GO ONE WAY TO
OPEN A DIALOGUE TO RECREATE A
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WITH
ALLIES ESPECIALLY KLEIN.
MARIA: I UNDERSTAND THAT I
ALSO SEE THAT IT IS JUST
UNFAIR SITUATION WHEREAS CHINA
DOESN'T OPEN UP MARKETS TO
AMERICAN COMPANIES THEY
CONTINUE TO FORCE THE TRANSFER
OF TECHNOLOGY CONTINUE
STEALING OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY, BUT SENATOR THEY ARE
NOT EVEN COMMITTING THIS HOW
DO YOU DEAL WITH A COUNTRY
WON'T ADMIT WHAT THEY ARE
DOING?
>> WELL, I USED TO LIVE OVER
THERE CHINESE CULTURE
5,000-YEAR-OLD KULTHDURE,

HAVE UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD
THEY CHARACTERIZE THEMSELVES
WORMDZ'S LARGEST DEVELOPING

LARGEST DEVELOPED ECONOMY I AM
PLIED IS THE FACT WE NEED TO
HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS NOT
SUBDINED TO THAT NET DO I.
>> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT
RETALIATION, I MEAN WHEN WE
SEE RETALIATION FROM CHINA,
ISN'T THAT GOING TO MAKE SO
PRESIDENT HAS DONE SO WELL, IN
TERMS OF ECONOMIC POLICY, WITH
THE TAX CUTS ROLLBACK IN
OPERATION, DO YOU TAKE THAT
BACK, DO YOU -- DO YOU X, ALL
THAT OUT?
CHINA IS ABOUT TO RETALIATE
WITH TARIFFS MAKING OUR PRUTS
MORE XF CUTTING INTO
POCKETBOOKS.
>> IT PICKS WINNERS AND LOSERS
AS LONG AS TRYING A
LEVEL-PLAYING FIELD YOU HAVE
IMBALANCE WITH ASIA PARTNERS
AND THIS PRESIDENT TRYING HAVE
BACK-AND-FORTH I THINK IT IS
TO GET INTO RECIPROCITY
CONVERSATION, AND GET AT IT
SPECIFICALLY, INDUSTRY BY
INDUSTRY AND PRODUCT BY
PRODUCT NOT THIS INDUSTRY WIDE
APPROACH THAT WE SEE TAKEN
NOW.
>> WE WILL SEE HOW THAT
DEVELOPS LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT

INCREASES AFTER CRITICISM FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED
YESTERDAY JUST TALKED WITH
PFIZER CEO SECRETARY AZAR ON

ROLLING BACK PRICE LIKES SO HE
AMERICAN PATIENTS DON'T PAY
MORE WE APPLAUD PFIZER FOR
THIS DECISION HOPE OTHER
THOUGHTS I KNOW IN THIS
SITUATION PRESIDENTS HAD
REALLY GOOD OUTCOME BUILT

UNITED STATES BE CALLING OUT

ENVIRONMENTAL IN 1970S, I HOPE
WE DON'T GO BACK AT THE THAT I
WILL SAY THIS OUR HEALTH CARE

LOOK IN TERMS OF THE SENATE

THE SUPREME COURT, I THINK WE
GOT ANOTHER CANDIDATE NOMINEE
IN KAVANAUGH THAT IS VERY MUCH
LIKE NEIL GORSUCH WILL GET
BROAD SUPPORT WE HOPE FROM
DEMOCRATS AS WELL AS
THAT OUT I HOPE WE WILL GET TO
IT IN A TIMELY MANNER LAST TWO
NOMINEES GOT THROUGH IN 66
DAYS SO I HOPE WE CAN MOVE
EXPEDITIOUSLY ON JUDGE
KAVANAUGH.
DEMOCRATICALLY SUPPORT FOR A
CANDIDATE LIKE THIS GREAT
NOMINEE BEING FANTASTIC LEGACY
OF RULINGS THIS IS NOT KICKING
SFLB OUTSIDE JUDICIARY WE
DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING
TO REACT ONCE ON THE BENCHER
