trust to analyze nato. i want to start by saying we think nato is in great shape. it needs reform. stephanie part of america's future. as we look at the problems and crisis, our first recommendation is the absence of strong presidential leadership. truman and eisenhower. both of the bushes. all of our post-world war ii presidents thought this was essential. just a couple of examples of the lack of principal leadership. he has several swings at the bar. he was asked. a hypothetical question. you think our sons and daughters should go to war to defend it? he says they are not sure the show. he had never taken on the issue of the interference. since 2017. has never convened. to talk about the fact that they're using hybrid welfare. most notably, their traveling in europe. the single greatest problem is the anti-democratic populace. in france. gives them the evidence. president trump is not living a charge against the antidemocratic populace the way you picture ronald reagan. he has embraced the antidemocratic population. the polish government. he has made the focus of his criticism. t

nato moves too slowly. what should the u.s., nato, the u.n. law of the sea tribunal came out just before i was there last month and made it clear this was an illegal act and the sailors must be returned. what more can we do? how can we actually make this happen? and shouldn't, ambassador, this be a precondition to even negotiations with russia on any kind of a maesful settlement of the dome bus. >> thank you for your comments and for that question. first off i agree with you i think the provision of security assistance to ukraine is vitally important. i think it has had an impact both psycho la jolla,cally as well as militarily on the professionalization and the capacity of ukrainian forces. i think it is important that ukraine reciprocate with foreign military purchases from us as well. i think they intend to. in terms of priorities i think the anti-sniper systems that were provided through military financing were very important. the anti-tank javelin missiles also very important. we need to look at air defense, coastal defense, maritime pict

nato maritime groups which form nato's standing naval force. the force is the maritime core of nato's very high readiness task force, the vgatf. this is all about real war fighting capabilities. in addition, we are engaged in three international crisis management operations on an enduring basis. the nato activity in the aegean sea. the mission off the coast of lebanon to prevent illegal flow of arms into rebound off and on and the eu counterpiracy off the horn of africa. most of these operations we contributed to for the last 12-years plus. the eu operations and the central mediterranean has been recently suspended for political and legal reasons. but we had permanently contributed to this mission and we are prepared to continue if and when required. whenever possible we also support nato's maritime security operations, sea garden in the mediterranean. together with a dutch navy we provide nato task of 2020 which will be certified in year. and finally, we will contribute also to the newly established jfc norfolk senior and flank level as we bel

nato countries, nato member countries, treated 9/11 as if it were an attack on their own country and that contingent included polish troops. in recent years, president trump has referred to nato as obsolete and a drain on the united states. his main beef with the alliance is that member states in his opinion are not living up to their commitment to spend 2% of gross domestic product on defense each year. poland is one of just 8 nations that have actually met the 2% target. let's take a closer look at this. i want to bring in heather conley, the director of the europe program at the center for strategic and international studies. heather, thank you for being with us. what's the importance of the discussion that the president was having today and the announcements of troops moving into poland? >> yes, i mean, this was an important meeting because it really, again, strengthens that eastern flank that you were describing. there are four nato battalions. one battalion each sitting in the three battltic states and t u.s. is in control of the battalion in poland. what today's announcement d

one is a nato military strategy. is an accepted concept for nato operations. and the third will be an process that helps us understand where we are relative to where we need to be in nato military strategy. that will never be directive in nature, right. every country is going to make its own decisions about defense investments. many, you know, domestic considerations that will always dominate any what you buy or what you don't buy inside of a given country. we can be informed as an lines as to what the best capabilities capacities are. my counterparts can go back informed by that information into the debate that takes place in their own countries. i see that as a positive. the other thing that we have a smaller group with other countries where we have robust intel sharing we have leveraged those intel sharing arrangements to have an assessment process as conduct as the a top secret level to help us all ollectively understand where the best investments would be for our countries to achieve campaign outcomes, where we to be fighting as part of a coalition. >> th

ambassador to nato kay bailey hutchison has been laying the groundwork. and nato folks in. iran attacking ships. say the they're going to go back into preparing for a nuclear weapons that's pretty strong got to stand up to it but esper is still likely to have a tough time getting european support for military action one of the problematic parts of trump's agenda from the very beginning is this idea of. basically every nation fighting for itself in a kind of arena of actors that's the way some of the people around trump put it in the beginning of his term so i mean in my view that doesn't work then there's the u.s. president's casual linkage of article 5 all allies solemn responsibility to defend each other to how much they spend on their militaries now there is article 3 which states that all government should continually and affectively improve their capabilities and to be sure some don't but never before has the commitment to collective defense been. quantified or questioned europeans are spending more on their militaries now and will spend even more in the future but rat

the united states has led the development of nato and a strong nato for decades, the european union has also helped build a strong, prosperous, free, secure europe. there's no reason why ukraine or others in the region who are not part of that now should not be part of that. they have very much the same values and very much the same aspirations. so the first thing is the people. the second is that they are a country that is fighting a war of self-defense. they have been attacked, their territory has been seized, the fighting continues to go on and they are in need of support. and it's important that we support them on the merits of that alone and also because we want to make sure that we are not allowing a europe to be taken apart through the use of military force. we go become to the helsinki principles of 1975, which the soviet union supported at the time, we're talking about no changing of borders by force, no threat or use ofs for, no coercion, countries have the right to choose their own security orientations and so forth. those are principles we need to continue to uphold. if we d

you know nato and the u.s. and western europe is aggressive. buttresses a bit of the russian militaries justification for increasing its capabilities but this is a long term trend in russia putin has has a strong sense of grief meant with the united states in the west and ever since 2008 invasion of georgia invasion of ukraine and acts ation an invasion of crimea. the sea of curch last year this is going to continue where russia provokes and i think nato the us poland i think these are all concrete measures to make sure russia does not overstep so russia will get the message it will react it will magically no doubt and it will continue its military trajectory of increasing harassment provocation etc you saw the russian ship last week take a very dangerous maneuver in the pacific ocean with the u.s. navy ship so this is going to continue but russia needs to sort of have its boundaries established and i think having more u.s. forces in poland really helps to establish those boundaries firmly what did you make of the u.s. president's comments toda

held talks with european commission president john told you he also met with nato chief children back during his election campaigns and he pledged to bring peace to eastern ukraine but he offered no concrete plans on how to do that around $13000.00 people would be killed in fighting between government troops and russian backed separatists in eastern ukraine so when he spoke with reporters today at nato headquarters in brussels take a listen strategic course of ukraine to achieve full fledged membership in the e.u. and need to we just secure in there because to do over ukraine remains unchanged. this is their prey your e.g. of our foreign policy ukraine's progress towards high you're pm living in security standards is the demand of the ukraine society. our let's get more now on that mr zelinsky visit to do then i'm joined by our correspondent teri schultz she is covering the story for us tonight in brussels good evening to you gerry you know when mr zelinsky was running for office he was very careful not to allow himself to be called a pro e.u. candidate or pro nato candidate and now h

has already been leading nato the telly and in eastern poland part of the force deployed there after russia's annexation of crimea in 2014 so increasing the you asked military presence in eastern europe is part of or consistent with nato a strategy there with nato attempts to deter russia from potential aggressive behavior in eastern europe and i always wondered today when both of the presidents were talking to reporters word germany kept coming up repeatedly what exactly did the u.s. president say. well you know brant we have to say that the president uses such occasions very often to criticize germany today again he criticized germany for not spending enough on or more on defense and he held up poland as an example for a country that is spending 2 percent of its student. on defense he also criticized germany for relying too much on natural gas from russia and again he praised poland for buying. a liquefied natural gas so then when he continued to talk about increasing you ass troops in poland and sending them over possibly from germany you coots interpret this as a sort of punishme

ambassador to nato kay bailey hutchison has been laying the groundwork it's a nato folks but iran attacking ships. say the they're going to go back into preparing for a nuclear weapons that's pretty strong to stand up to it but esper is still likely to have a tough time getting european support for military action one of the problematic parts of trump's agenda from the very beginning is this idea of a bitch other to how much they spend on their militaries now there is article 3 which states that all government should continually and affectively improve their capabilities and to be sure some don't but never before has the commitment to collective defense been quantified or questioned europeans are spending more on their militaries now and will spend even more in the future but rather than easing tensions with the u.s. a new front has been opened that's because the european union is earmarking almost $600000000.00 for its own defense projects that might exclude the u.s. washington is threatening to retaliate still senior nato officials believe things will work out because the u.s. and europea

as well as that a row between nato members the u.s. and turkey already strained relations between the 2 has escalated over turkey's insistence on taking delivery of a russian missile defense system the s 400 against objections from the united states that that would undermine nato military defense systems across europe and in particular undermine the f. $35.00 program that advanced stealth jet fighter program due to be rolled out to nato member air forces in the years to come turkey a significant component part of that program of the message delivered by acting defense secretary mark s. purchased the 3rd day into his job here to his turkish counterpart in a bilateral earlier give up the s 400 or face being ejected from the f. 35 program and face economic sanctions the response from turkey delivered in the person of the president mr erdogan on his way to japan to meet donald trump at the g. 20 there is no backing down now he said no plan b. he believes this will all be sorted out in a face to face meeting with mr trump. a charity ship ca

they are on the path to nato membership. i don't think there is going to be any big change in the way moscow would react. that is now considered normal. what president putin did you is right after zelinski was elected, he thought he would test a new president and announced that all residents in eastern ukraine could get russian passports. he thought that would readily president. he could say i think we will offer ukrainian passports. you can be arrested for giving demonstrations. we will one up here and give those suffering russians passports. i am told that really upset the kremlin. it does him well to have a good sense of humor and it seems to bode well for his presidency. president putin seems to be rattled. brent: thank you. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. for now, we want to leave you with a reminder of our top story. remembering the massacre on tiananmen square 30 years ago. although the crackdown has been erased from history in china, in hong kong, memories are being kept alive. we hav

yeah it's not a nato issue and nato until now has been able to say to say that you know this is a u.s. iran bilateral issue that's gone now with secretary esper announcing before he came on this trip that he wanted to internationalize the issue yes secretary of state palm pale in the gulf right now asking those partners to join in as well so the u.s. doesn't want this to remain a bilateral issue it wants countries that have leverage that have economic leverage on iran to join the effort and they say look this is in all of our interests this is what it will take to bring iran economically diplomatically to the negotiating table so the u.s. wants it to be see i'm back here in germany 2 men have confessed to sexually abusing young children in one of the country's most shocking paedophile cases their trial began today they were accused in hundreds of cases of sex abuse that allegedly took place at a camp site in the town of looped over a period of decades while the case is mired in controversy amid charges of failures both by the police and government authorities. it was here at this camp

turkey has failed in its basic nato responsibility to safeguard the freedom and security of nato alyles. both politically and militarily. turkey has bullied and continues to bully the u.s. and nato allies around the world, in particular, greece and cyprus. meanwhile, turkey has grown ever closer in diplomatic and military ties to the authoritarian regimes of russia and iran. sowing international instability, especially in the eastern mediterranean, madam speaker. which is why i join my colleagues in introducing h.r. 91, to reaffirm the robust commitment of the united states united mportance of the states-israel-greece-cyprus partnership. the russian s-400 missile defense system is in no way interoperable with nato's defense systems and represents a dangerous vulnerability to event 5 program in the an s-400 system learns how to target and shares that knowledge with other international bad actors. we can't take that chance. rewarding an international bad actor with f-35's, one of the most sophisticated articles of u.s. military technology, while they imprison and orchestrate brazen acts o

certainly doesn't get a carte blanche here from nato in terms of any action you chooses to take s. but was reportedly in that closed door session warned by france france one of the key nations trying to support the nuclear deal to resuscitate the nuclear deal while the u.s. evidently tries to tear it apart france warning the u.s. not to involve nato in any military mission against iran turner thank you very much for that for now that is joining the latest live in brussels now u.s. president donald trump says he has unlimited time to strike a deal with iran to stop it developing and distribution nuclear weapons and the latest round of sanctions the white house targeted iran's senior leaders including ayatollah ali khamenei the supreme leader says iran to bow to us to mom so let's go to our correspondent in tehran same bus ravi is joining us from there and does does it run feel the same that nato is backing the u.s. over iran here. well certainly iranian leaders here in teheran feel isolated by almost every world leader that they come across now whether it's nato whether it's members

nato has issued an ultimatum to russia either come back into full compliance with the i.n.f. treaty by the 2nd of august in other words destroy the s.s.c. 8 intermediate range missile system that russia has been developing according to nato and the united states in noncompliance with that treaty or face responsibility for the total collapse of the i.n.f. treaty and the consequences where with no sign of compliance by russia nato defense ministers have here decided on a range of consequences of countermeasures jens stoltenberg the secretary general wouldn't be drawn on the details of what those might be but he did say they would be measured and strictly defensive he did address concerns of a dramatic escalation in tensions between russia and nato as a result he said this that nato had no intention to deploy new land based nuclear missiles it would not mirror russia's actions and nato did not want a new arms race here's what he had to say. the new russian missiles they violate the on their for treaty which has been a cornerstone for aunt's control for decades and that's the rea

what's nato likely to do about it. all. right well i think that seems to be in the substance of this day of discussions between nato defense ministers here in brussels pacifically trying to decide what happens if russia doesn't come back into compliance with the i.n.f. treaty as they've demanded it does by august the 2nd which is the deadline by which time the u.s. will have completed its withdrawal from the treaty effectively killing the treaty off no sign of russia coming back into compliance and destroying as it's been demanded to do this s s c 8 short range missile system and so defense ministers we're told have decided on a range of countermeasures to stoltenberg the secretary general wouldn't be drawn on the detail of what those measures would be in jail at but he did address concerns that have been widespread for some time now of the possibility of a brand new arms race happening for the 1st time since the cold war he said the measures would be strictly measured and defensive he said they had no nato had no inte

nato was going down and if you look at the money coming into nato for the last 15 years it was escalating down and now it's like a rocket ship up. secretary sallen berg has been maybe trumpest biggest fan. he said without donald trump maybe there would be no nato. we've got condition over a hundred billion dollars from other countries where they are starting to pay because it got to a point where we were paying so much. i think we were really paying close to a hundred percent of nature toe. we were paying to protect all these nations and it just wasn't fair. i told the heads of countries, it's not fair. the u.n. possibly doesn't even benefit. you could make the case, certainly in this age, we're not benefiting, certain not like them. they paid over a hundred billion dollars more toward their defense. that's money we don't have to pay. >> laura: -- was praising you yesterday for the burden sharing, basically about time. president trump: she was so nice but they are all saying it and they are stepping up. i would say germany has not stepped up much. they are paying 1%, they should be paying

into nato its dying opponent had asked for a permanent u.s. base and wanted to call it fort trun the question is would such a base that be a violation of the 97 security agreement that bans the permanent basing of nato troops in former warsaw pact countries. it probably would but it probably won't come to pass it's again it's an expenditure of money and given that trump is the president he's going to insist that poland pay for it and i don't think poland has the money for it. yes i pretty much my next question is poland is not a poor country but it's well below the e.u. average so can the country really afford to be spending taxpayers' money on u.s. troops f. 35 fighter jets and american natural gas. no absolutely not and this is the problem they're well below their 2 percent g.d.p. goal and i think that it's something that again all symbolic it's meant to show a gesture that we care about the united states cares about europe but it's it's not it doesn't change the balance of power whatsoever in the region. michael maloof former pentagon secur

nato defense ministers meeting in brussels have also been talking about the tensions in the gulf the u.s. defense secretary marcus but is there saying that war with iran is wanted by the americans won't tolerate any further incidents like the tanker attacks the nato secretary general yen sultan berg said the alliance is worried about iran's actions jonah hall has been following that meeting in brussels. acting secretary of defense mark s. but i think broadly speaking successful here at nato in convincing allies that the iran question is a global one in need of a global diplomatic solution as opposed to simply a problem involving the u.s. and iran successful also in setting out the parameters of the u.s. approach aimed at bringing iran back to the negotiating table by squeezing it economically and winning i think broad support among the allies for that approach this was what jens stoltenberg nato secretary general had to say all allies share concerns sir when it comes to iran. these the ballistic activities in the region their support for different groups there their missile program o

the france has won the united states not to drag its nato allies into a war against iran is comes a week after u.s. president donald trump said he called off air strikes against iran with just minutes to go following tehran's downing of an unmanned u.s. drone new acting u.s. defense secretary mark asked for told his counterparts in brussels that washington wanted to avoid conflicts but couldn't tolerate any further incidents he went on to say that even though the u.s. held iran responsible for the for 2 attacks on tankers in the gulf of oman this month washington did not want the situation to escalate argo. it's to bring iran to the negotiating table to conclude a comprehensive enduring deal that addresses iran's nuclear program its a ballistic missile development and proliferation its support for terrorism and other malign activities or strategy is at its core an economic and diplomatic one again we do not seek armed conflict with iran but we are ready to defend u.s. forces and interests in the region straight to the nato headquarters in brussels and we thought d w correspondent tony sc

and germany is not living up to what they're supposed to be doing with respect to nato and poland is after you graduate you thank you very much strategically 1000 soldiers less than germany and a 1000 more in poland makes new big difference so what was the made i think there are several aims to what trump is doing one of them i think has to do with putting pressure on germany so he wants to play the polish. hard against the germans tramp is trying to put more pressure on germany that germany's pay more for the military budget reckon 2014 all nato member states promise to meet the guideline of spending 2 percent of their g.d.p. on defense within a decade half way to that deadline it's clear berlin will likely fail and that's driving washington not it's not yet clear when or how the american troops stationed here in germany will relocate to poland but trump's mere hint about them crossing the border was enough to put berlin on high alert and that was the purpose and it worked we heard from part is usually on opposing sides of the political spectrum for germany's own sake we need to fin

i hope it was a clear understanding of the past role of nato and the future role of nato because we still live in the dangerous world and i think it's important for alliances and friendships and common shared values that we have in the alliance, that propels us forward. we can talk about 2% of this or that, but i think it is the common values and shared values we have that are important and going forward is every bit as important today as it was 75 yea rs bit as important today as it was 75 years ago. does the fact there are new powers in the world now, the rise of china, does that necessitate a shift in emphasis of these institutions that we re emphasis of these institutions that were set up 75 years ago? i don't think so. i think you have a wider organisation called the united nations that is, again, an organisation that looks globally but i think most important for us is to understand that we have shed blood together, by the way, we continue to shed blood together, our nato allies are bearing the burden, whether afghanistan or syria or other places in the past 25 years, so there is muc

ambassador to nato, joining us from brussels where she is hosting the foreign ministers from nato. this is bloomberg. ♪ we're the slowskys. we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television. i'm david westin. coming up tomorrow, coverage of the first democratic presidential debate. 91 features elizabeth warren, amy klobuchar, cory booker and others. tomorrow, a preview of that debate with former clinton labor secretary robert rush. the economy will be debated tomorrow night. in the meantime, we hear from james bullard who is with kathleen hays in st. louis. the debate will be about the economy. president trump has had a strong economy in general but has le

or from nato well on a related note terry ukraine pursuing a pro western path isn't likely to go down well with the kremlin our leader is worried about blowback from russia if they encourage t.f. into forging closer ties with the a west because we remember last time that didn't go well. well president poroshenko president selenski predecessor also had ukraine on a firm path toward the west so that's not really any different they do have a deep and meaningful partnership as it's called with the european union they also are on the path to nate eventual nato membership if certain reforms are taken so that isn't really different than under push and go now president putin may have hoped that things would be different and he certainly put a test to president selenski soon after the election what he did was he offered passports russian passports to citizens in dawn bus saying that all of you eastern ukrainians come in be russian citizens now president zelinsky handled this rather coolly and here's where a sense of humor does come in handy he said look if you have a russian passport you can b

the greatest achievement in nato is probably not that no nation has attacked nato, but no nato nation has attacked another nato nation. that's after 2000 years of europeans attacking each other. nato has kind of kept the peace on that continent. i think we are actually in pretty good shape. we ought to nurse that and be of the fact that if we look at history and go back 100 years ago to the end of the first world war, someone needs to turned that off i'm going to have to leave. ,f we go back 100 years ago what did the u.s. do daca -- do? and rejected the league of nations. we erected massive tariff and we decided we can bring it all home and do it all here in america. we broke the global economy. you can have a plum line to the greater pression -- great depression and another line to fascism. let's look back 100 years ago at the rise of national socialism, mussolini, and italy. we have seen a lot worse. we ought to learn from that ,xperience, american engagement we keep the russians out. that is the right prescription to move forward. mindful that it doesn't draft away from us. in wit

allies and he noted virt he and nato welcomed the u.s. message a key message here being that it doesn't want war with iran that it does want talks and without preconditions and he said that nato intends to support efforts to deescalate the situation to decrease tensions in order to avoid events spiraling out of control one important caveat i think that indicates that nato is certainly not here giving the united states carte blanche to pursue any course they did which is under any circumstances france reportedly in the closed door session on iran that happened during the course of the morning said to the united states that it should not under any circumstances seek to involve nato in military action against iran. amnesty international is accusing the government of eritrea often to the dating and harassing critics over the next are they in code ever try and activists living in the u.k. sweden and kenya malcolm webb has moved from the kenyan capital nairobi. or together bieber waldheim a not says she's never enjoyed the freedom she fought fo

in order to strengthen nato and president trump has threatened to be to withdraw from nato. these threats have not been turned into reality so far has been stopped from doing that but there certainly is a lot of tension in this transatlantic relationship that we are celebrating through these commemorations today across the relationship certainly isn't the same as it was 75 years ago over the past so many decades. nato was a late joiner of france has joined the nato alliance rather late in the game in the 1960 s. and at day one when we're looking at the 2 presidents here affirming the importance of the military by celebrating the veterans. what's the view of nato in france is it considered a very crucial. institution the way it is in germany we're going to listen in here for a 2nd before we get to that answer the commemoration of vance starting their view. it. is. not. just. the military honor guard we're seeing there representing all the services involved in the invasion of 75 years ago the various branches of the military not just the army of the navy but also the u.s. coas

had already previously rotated about 4500 troops into the eastern european country as part of a nato mission but poland would like to see that troop commitment increased and they would like to see it made permanent u.s. and nato forces have given renewed attention to europe's frontier with russia since 2014 of course that was when russia annexed crimea from ukraine. we're going to have more on that press conference between the president of poland and the president of the united states coming up a little bit later in the broadcast we want to move on now to our 2nd top story of the day and that is in hong kong kong has been rocked by the most serious political violence since control of the territory was handed back to china more than 20 years ago police again today used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters who blocked key roads and stormed the parliament the demonstrators oppose a government plan to allow extraditions to china legislators have now postponed a debate on the wall. i from peaceful protest to violent clashes umbrellas became shields and w

nato has been strengthed under this presidency with increased defense spending with most nato allies. more nato troops defending against the russian threat. this whole idea that president trump is breaking up the transatlantic alliance is a complete fiction. connell: okay. >> the events in normandy were deeply moving. the tribute to those very brave men who gave, who gave their lives to liberate europe in the defense of freedom. it was also i think a tribute to the tremendous u.s. and british leadership on the world stage which has enabled europe to be free today. connell: let's break a part a couple of those issues. number one on the nato alliance you mentioned, basically what president trump calls you know, paying your fair share, says it over and over again, we can owe it in numbers, maybe that will be the trump effect. all the talk about the fact that he hammered countries gone at them rhetorically, your point they responded. >> yes. connell: you know what, they are paying their fair share more, right? >> for the first time in decades nato countries are increasing defense levels o

and trump want somehow he's changed that for make america great again to make nato great again that we're going to make the europeans pay more for their defense what they never. what they never point out of course is defense against whom they say nato is not directed against russia although everybody knows that nato is directed against russia even though i don't think anybody honestly believes there is a russian territorial threat to any of these countries every new member states is at the heart of the holy war machine of its need to represent us and we have to overcome these war mostly because he's war machine all the good news out is out of his doing what we need is to reduce the troops at the border to russia to bring the troops home the old slogan of the peace movement is actually the defense spending is not the only bone of contention between washington and the lean on just one of many aspects that separate poland from germany. result of blows and contracts for one terrorist and sanction is the other and soldiers shifted from germany to poland is the most recent of these puniti
