including the victims in prisons and camps on both sides of the allies and the allies. it seems that the casualties of this great world war were about 50 to 85 million people, based on the announced statistics. the winter of 1944 to 1945 was very hard. this winter was both very cold and really exhausting mentally. imagine the soldiers living in these mud trenches or even. worse than that, by the river and swampy lands . the biggest problem of american soldiers was not having proper shoes. this meant that their feet spent hours in ice water, snow and their throats were parched and their shoes were not warm at all. of course , no one would take their shoes off in such conditions. as a result, their feet were starting to rot. two weeks earlier, german forces had launched a counterattack in the ardennes forest region of belgium and luxembourg. hitler's goal was to turn the tide of the war and surprise the allies. the nazi strategy was to stop the western armies, the british and the americans, behind the rhine river. but hitler had another idea. he wanted an attack. of cours

that many women fought for liberty and thousands of allied forces paid the ultimate sacrifice. the scars forge the network. your presence enables us to build strong alliances between nations and leaders to defeat threats to democracy human rights and freedom. for the full power and enable our coalition of military forces to defeat the darkness of the day and every day since then, we fight for the help of liberty and justice for all. help us to also remember the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice to consider their hurts and their needs keep it more highly than our own. god bless this organization who makes this ceremony possible and bless the great citizens of our united states of america and all those who strive to uphold the ideals of our nation's heroes to safeguard. god bless our servicemen and women both past and present in all of their families and god bless america in your holy name i pray. amen. >> please be seated. before i introduce our speaker we extend a warm welcome to the secretary of the navy, the honorable john wieland.

the allies lost up to 10,000 soldiers.lthough the french losses were twice as high, wittgenstein, discouraged by the failure, decided to retreat. where to the village, to lukyanchikov to hell and gone from this mess, oh come on, you heard, it turns out it's my fault, lord, forgive me, there are no words, they looked at the map, there are ravines and streams. here's the result, removed from office, i'm going to command the guards division. eh, mikhail ilorionovich, and i, a fool, laughed at it. on may 8, the russians were already crossing back beyond the elbe. kutuzov's most gloomy predictions came true. on may 12 , a new battle took place near the city of bautzen. the allied position was perfectly fortified by nature itself. had 143,000 soldiers against 93,000. this battle gave the same result. the french losses were one and a half times higher, but the allied forces again retreated under the onslaught of napoleon. the russians retreated in good order. order a retreat. yes, sir. napoleon himself led troops into battle unde

how do we hold ally's feet to the fire? and what allies count? do bridges from sicily to the mainland count? cyber certainly does. i would urge a tight definition of what costs entail. then there are a number of other debates around ukraine that are important. we are not learning fast enough of the lessons of modern warfare that ukraine is so eager to share with us. i'm afraid nato is still too far away from the ukrainian front to learn lessons clear enough for industry and policymakers. that should be something up for consideration. so there is a whole host of technical and military areas that i think may fly below the political radar which are worthy of discussion at the nato summit or the defense ministerial process and i hope the alliance will pick those up. even if the visceral political question of ukraine's future relationship with nato is not settled. >> you would say there is still the same threat perception on both sides of the atlantic about russia? >> yeah. if you read all of these publicly made available intelligence assessments acro

, allies.enry kissinger, time tells the president that the evacuee may have up to 1.7 million names, a staggering number. this was not done because it was popular. there was a poll done at the time that revealed only 37% of americans were actually in favor of the vietnamese resettlement efforts, 49% opposed and 14% were undecided. so, you know, president ford displayed great moral courage, reaching across the aisle doing an not because it was popular, but because it was right. i'm not, of course, on each of you consider, say, the nearly 6000 americans remain in south vietnam and tens of thousands of the south vietnamese employees of the united states gone. i the nation's auto contractors and businesses for many years we whose lives win their independence are in very great peril. there are tens of thousands of other south vietnamese intellectual professors, teachers and opinion makers who have supported the south, giving them a call and the alliance. the united states, to whom we have a profound

there are concerns by nato allies, european allies but also non-u.s. nato pilots of anything that might be a longer summit can just end up derailing the date he was relationship with from ukraine-russia talks to tariffs and trade relationships but also the israel iran agenda. so will discuss today what are goingus to expect from the natie agenda, what would probably be the outcome, will have an end we can all agree on. a fantastic set of speakers here with me on the stage and will first introduce kay bailey hutchinson who started as virtually. thanks so much for your time. she is a former u.s. senator from texas. she's also the former nato ambassador until 2021. she is now seeing advisor at the center for strategic and international studies. thanks so much for joining as virtually. here on stage with julianne smith, she's also for me as ambassador to nato,mi the latest nato ambassador that we have here until 2024. she's also the president of clarion strategies. and we have the predecessor of kate. the new ambassador until 2017, is now the chairman of i

including the victims in prisons and camps on both sides of the allies and the allies, it seems thatthe casualties of this great world war, according to the announced statistics , were about 50 to 85 million people. the winter of 1944-1945 was very hard. this winter was both very cold and really exhausting mentally. imagine the soldiers living in these mud trenches or even worse, by the river and in the swamps . the biggest problem of the american soldiers was not having proper shoes. that means their feet were in freezing water, snow and slush for hours and their shoes were not warm at all. so it is clear that someone in such conditions, he would not take off his shoes , as a result of which his feet would start to rot. two weeks earlier, the german forces in the forest area had been knocked out of the war. this was hitler's idea. the port of antar was a very important target for both sides. for the allies, because they desperately needed the port. for the germans, because they did not want more weapons to enter europe. they all supported it. but the german counterattack failed. the

on march 7, the allies would reach berlin. on the other side of the world, the allies were at war with the empire of japan. more than three years had passed since the attack on pearl harbor. in early march 1945 , a fierce battle broke out on the island of iwo jima. the island, about 1,200 kilometers from tokyo , was a valuable base for the allied air force. but the island had a network of underground bunkers. the allies put up fierce resistance. the japanese were facing off. after the american victory at iwo jima , it became clear that the remaining strength of japanese fighter aircraft was not enough to justify the need to sacrifice so many soldiers to capture the island. to win the war, the allies did not settle for pitched battles. the allies also wanted to destroy japanese cities. through air raids . on the night of march 9, they targeted tokyo . the us air force sent its bombers towards the japanese capital and gave its pilots precise instructions. low-altitude night bombing with incendiary bombs was essentially for the a

we started 2025 with several allies, 7-8 allies, not meeting the mark. so we have made crucial progress in the last five or six months. but our security environment has changed. and not for the better. the threats we face today, the amount that we do far more to ensure we can effectively deter any threat. nato has detailed defence plans in place, we know how to tackle the dangers that confront us. and we are committed to defending every inch of allied territory, should any potential adversary make the mistake of attacking any ally. based on those plans, allies have agreed on ambitious new set of capability targets, the specific practical requirements that ensure that we can implement our defence plans. having done this high-stakes homework, it is not clear what kind of investment it will take to effectively deliver what we need. and it is critical that each ally carries their fair share of the burden. that defence investment plan that allies will agree in the hague introduces a new baseline, 5% of gdp to be invested in defence. this is a quantum leap, it

allies no at least the military among the 32 allies no but they are on the hook for to provide to natout we hide behind the classification system this is the conversation that ought to be had among heads of state. we are much more transparent with who is delivering 2%, 5%, who is delivering the capability that you are on the hook for and who is not? if we have that conversation it might be a much more compelling argument to congressman and parliaments and so forth that some are carrying their weight and some are not. the artificial fixation on inputs is not helpful. >> is excellent. we have one virtual question. >> will take the next question. >> gideon rosen council on foreign relations i'm kind of shocked by the complacency of this discussion about the u.s. side of it. as charlie said the reason this is happening is because he defense spending is happening is because the europeans in the two front war their aggressor great power aggressor to the east and they have a great power abandonment to the west. they are realizing for the very first time in 75 years we may actually have to be

and a look back at the allied invasion of normandy 81 years later, with the u.s.summaries. then a u.s. army film details the logistics of treating wounded soldiers in the field and english hospitals during the invasion. explore the american story. watch american history tv saturdays on c-span2 and find a mpte schedule any time on c-span.org/history. >> kenneth rogoff is professor of economics at harvard university and former international monetary fund chief. in his most recent book, "our dollar, your problem," he argues that america's currency might have reached today's lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck, but as he nears the end of his 345-page book, he writes, if rapidly rising debt is left unchecked, and there seems to be little political appetite to remain in massive deficits, the united states and the entire world is in for a substantial period of global financial volatility marked by higher average real interest rates and inflation. >> harvard university professor of economics and former international monetary fund chief economist kenneth r

and we see this happening quite often where our allies are very nervous. speak every summer to the polish economic forum and i know polls are very nervous. if i am in latvia, estonia, i am happy today but i know my right is an existential one and the threat is coming tomorrow and the next in the next day because russia will continue to threaten until the west, not the united states, the west puts an end to this. you were nodding there, dan, is it something you agree with? i think we may have some common ground on this but in terms of the west in america, stepping up on behalf of ukraine, general betray us knows far more about this than i ever will set it quite clearly, if russia yields like they can move through europe unfettered and unchecked, then they will. putin has terrible ambitions we should all be fearful of as doug pointed out. what ukraine has needed is the strong backbone and support of the united states, of the west to demonstrate to putin that that is not possible. the backing off that we have done in the degrading of zen-mac and the oval offi

against allied security.at's why from a nato perspective we talk about prc would talk about systemic challenge to europe on security. bringing it back to our core forklifts. in other words, there's a lot of complementarity between the two strengths of work there are some cost benefits in terms of deterrence effect so there is a win-win case. i'm afraid i'm the european on the panel and the optimist on the panel today. [laughter] >> thank you so much. we need more of that. do you want to add something on nato ip for or you already covered a little bit i wouldn't call plan b or plan c or plan e perhaps. but we know it's not perhaps enough to be an alternative. it is one of the sporting things. what would you see, is a lot of discussion of coming with the correlations of like-minded countries and some of the more real strategy on important issues. raw material, economic security, technology corporations, what do you see, this will be the last round before we open up to questions because i realize we only have 20

how embarrassing it is, a bit humiliating to exchange this with your allies? no problem, nothing in it which had to stay secret. let's speak to our chief north america correspondent gary o'donoghue who's in washington. we have talked a lot already or heard through the day comments about what happened on the lawn of the white house, then we go through what was actually set on air force one because it was a busy flight for president trump, and one thing i picked up on was he was hopefully meet with president zelensky, the ukrainians will be pleased to hear that, the also speak to benjamin netanyahu? yes, he did a tour on air force one, pretty much every hotspot in the world he was thinking and talking about. we saw that extraordinary transformation from the moment on the white house lawn where he was visibly, palpably angry. too a few moments later where he said he was also noted, don't worry, planes are going home to stop i think it is worth seeing that it is a significant achievement at this stage. everyone will be watching to see how long it holds for. they h

attack on another ally, but uh, in nato doctrine, it is vital that all allies say they will come to the defense of anyone who is attacked in order to create a a strong deterrant that prevents anyone from being attacked, and i imagine donald trump knows exactly what he is doing in keeping allies off balance, and constantly having to curry favor uh with him uh, it it is, however, a very real world concern for nato allies that he might do what he very nearly did do at the nato summit in brussels in 2018, which is walk out of the room and walk out, walk the united states out of the alliance, so the whole of this summit is designed around managing donald trump, which is exactly how the president wants it. i imagine it's being kept very short, so there's the limited amount of time in which things can go wrong. uh, he there's no formal uh presence of zelensky at the table, which might irritate him, only over dinner, this evening will zelensky participate, and crucially there's this uh immense 5% defense spending which donald trump can take real credit for. there is very much a feeling here tha

could the allied get their supplies? you know, keep the supply lines open to get reinforcements ashore? the and to me, what is i think so fascinating. i talk a little bit about this in the book as well. i think d-day. as one of the most interesting examples and case studies in leadership that we have in history, leadership at the top and leadership at the bottom. and that the first third of this book is really all about the big names. you know, it is roosevelt and churchill and ike and montgomery and and the planners and, you know, this story of the allies and the british learning to cooperate and work together as allies, which i think is this fascinating story in and of itself. and then at each of our 6:30 a.m. on tuesday, june 6th, there is nothing any of those big names can do to influence the outcome of d-day any longer, and that the story of d-day is success itself. health is the leadership and the training that kicks in with these corporals and sergeants and lieutenants who bring this new style of warfare to the ge

i give some credit to pushing our allies to spend more. every president, democrat and republican for decades has called on europe to afflict more of the bill. so i give the president credit for seeing some progress there. but as he finds progress on one front, he creates setbacks on the other. and i do think he has emboldened vladimir putin since re-assuming office. he has allowed putin to actually play him quite well by dangling out there that he might be willing to play ball, but then not even showing up to a meeting. this is a president who has come at every turn whether we are talking about the military and national security, he has undermined our allies while emboldening our two biggest adversaries in china and in russia. that has got to be concerning to the people who he is meeting with. i think it helps explain why the nato secretary-general is being so effusive. he kind of has to be. he has to be effusive, anyone who has dealt with donald trump will tell you, that is the quickest way to either get what you want or to at least avoid

today we are talking about the allied landing in normandy in 1944. must be said that there were ideas , in particular, from churchill to try, so to speak, in the race for berlin, and to win, including in 1945 already, but it must be said that the commanders and montgomery and isenhauer, realistically assessing the resistance of the germans, in general, they considered this plan, these ideas in general mythological, that is, there is also in some. soviet historiography, the idea that on the western front the germans surrendered in whole units, and that, accordingly, a walk through germany was so easy for our western allies, but the thing is that they began to surrender only in the very last weeks of the war, and even then for attempts to surrender they shot on the spot, there were very harsh punitive measures, already in only the very last days of war really means... some of the germans wanted to surrender to the americans and the british, because they could smell whose meat they had eaten, and especially the ss officers did not want to be captured by

iran has allies, the us has proxies, and here's the difference: iran has its allies because based on a shared ideology, right? so there is, there there are, one, there's the religious ideology that all these people believe in, basically imam hussein's message that death with dignity is better than a life of humiliation. this is very much a shared ideology among..." them, so this is the religious aspect, but also they all believe in their right to independence, their rights to their own resources, and they all have similar interest with iran. iran's region is their region, if iran safe, they are safe, so iran never has to tell them to protect it, iran never has to order anything, iran never even has to ask, in fact it is them who suggest what they can do for iran, it is them who demand that they continue to help iran, that they an without even asking iran and they actually take on plans to face the zinist regime without even iran being sometimes uh involved in the decision making such as how actually uh hamas openly more openly came out with this resistance against this zinist occupat

allies know, at least the militaries, among the 32 allies, know what they're on the hook for to provide to nato. but we hide behind the classification system and this is the conversation that ought to be had at the hague. among heads of state. so that we're much more transparent with who is delivering 2% 5:00%, 3.5 -- who is delivering the capabilities that you're on the hook for? and who is not? and if we had that conversation it might be a much more compelling argument to congresses and parliaments and so forth. that some are carrying their weight and some are not. but this artificial notion, the artificial fixation on inputs, i think is not helpful. >> i think that's an excellent point. we have one virtual question. >> we'll take the next question from gideon rose. >> hi, there. i'm kind of shocked by the complacency of the discussion about the u.s. side of it. as charlie said, the reason this is happening is because the europeans, the defense spending is happening, is because the europeans see themselves in a two-front war. they have an aggressor to the east and they have a great po

and that he said the agreement where the allies are united. i'd like to welcome a rose go, some other former deputy secretary general of nato and electra for international security and cooperation at stanford university, joining us today from new york city. so nato set to adopt this 5 percent spending pledge. first of all, what is your most important take away from that as the most important take away. well, there are actually 2. 1 is that nato got the message that began to happen during trumps. first term in office from 2017 to 2021, but they got the message that they cannot free right on the united states anymore. they need to be developing their own defense capability and capacity. they need to be spending the money to, to build their own weapon systems and their own capabilities. so that's very important that indicator, the other important thing i think about as 5 percent of g d. p though, is that it incorporates a degree of flexibility that would be helpful to all the nato allies. for example, the fact that now infrastructure such as road

a target i'm pleased to say all allies will now meet this year or have already met. the 3.5% is to fund our military is and equipment they need from our air defences to ammunition, drones, tanks, troops and more. in addition to the 3.5% for core defence, the plan includes 1.5% of gdp that will go towards investment that supports our defence and security. all to ensure we can effectively deter aggression. and defend ourselves and each other, should anyone make a mistake of attacking. allies recognise the severity of the threats we face and in response, they have come together to agree an ambitious but essential new defence spending commitment. our decisions today show from the mediterranean to the arctic, from the west coast of north america to our eastern flank, all allies are united in understanding that we need to step up to stay safe, and they are acting on it. president trump has been clear, america is committed to nato. he affirmed it again today in no uncertain terms. at the same time, he made clear that america expects european allies and canada to contribute

and yet zalinski will be meeting with other allies. there is a foreign minister meeting of ukraine tonight at dinner, but there will not be any high level meeting of nato and president soleski here in the hague. terry, thank you. as always for your reporting, that is our correspondent at terry schultz. the hate. so here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world's officials and ukraine's a russian vessels of killed at least 9 people in the eastern city of new pro. more than a 100 others were wounded ameris as the strikes damaged school's medical facilities, and a church attacks also targeted the towns of some lawrence to me and her son region in syria, a little known as long as the group has claimed responsibility for sunday's suicide bombing. at a church in damascus, at least 25 people were killed and 46. the others injured. syria's greek orthodox, patriarchal claims the syrian government for not doing enough to insure security for all syrians. the u. n says more than 6000000 people in man mart still need

is he ready to donate all the allies of nato were not clear.no new aid pledges for one member ukraine though he said he asked russia to do more to end the war. then he was gone leaving leaders wondering where to find the cash for defense they promised him. donald trump clearly felt loved here. that is what nato wanted. they hope he is less likely to turn away from the alliance and joint security. >> our colleague reflected on the proceedings. >> it is over and there are those who enjoy it is widely being viewed as a huge success particularly by the second general and president trump. it was a short summit with one thing in mind. donald trump and get the other nato allies to sign up to increasing spend cher. they have agreed to a 5% target of it and donald trump took credit. this is a monumental win because we were carrying more than our fair share. it is a big win for europe and western civilization. the atmosphere was very con visitorial. donald trump praised the other leaders who are passionate about their countries and reaffirmed the u.s.'s

we can consider them our allies, to what extent... they are our allies, so to speak, based on their interests, well, i understand that we are talking about great britain, we are talking about the baltic countries, well, do we have, so to speak , very specific alliance obligations, yes, that is, france, italy, britain, germany, canada, all the scandinavian countries, the benelux countries, eastern european countries countries, i'd rather say who is the enemy of ukraine, hungary and slovakia - that's a minimum. definitely , uh, maybe one or two countries have emerged, crimea, the usa, they haven't announced it yet, maybe they know it in the bank, unfortunately, i can't say for sure who will put a stop to it, but even 25-27 countries, nato members, who will help ukraine a lot and are providing this year, as i've already said, 35 billion euros instead of 20, well, this is very powerful help, and it's just necessary to welcome and be glad that they provide us with such assistance, factories are being built in ukraine, the norwegians are building factories in ukraine for sams anti-aircraf

the serial was an ally, but lebanese has molar remains a proxy. uh, the purpose of that i believe lies in the real strategic shock of saturn. hussein's missile attacks on rainy and cities in the eighty's and the wrong strategy was to prevent that from never happened. so they tried to push their leadership outward. in 11 on a mall was a domestic homegrown. she a movement. but the revolutionary guard was dispatched the 1st delegation to setup . as paula was intercepted by the flange of pay rid international airport and executed, the 2nd revolutionary guard delegation met with more success and loved. he says paula was considered to be one of the more responsive groups. so what they provided a lot of the manpower for faster last side score in the, in syria, particularly the campaign in how about a level and when move stuff. a beverage, as well as operational directory, resistance customs, fully monies commands to put more lebanese manpower into what was turning off the meat for under they had him killed in damascus. so there is, you know, always chall

it says that russia is betraying its allies, that you shouldn't rely on russia. it's a mistake to think that russia will come if it's your ally, it will come to your aid. this, by the way, is also a signal to lukashenko and others who, so to speak, still look at russia as an ally and think that russia will somehow protect them, but it won't. these examples of the caucasus, syria, and... iran say that russia stands aside and doesn't interfere, despite the fact that formally they are involved there. its allies. yes, mr. rostislav, look, i wanted to ask you about our memorable g7 summit, which ended in nothing, in particular, the president of the united states left the meeting early, we understand that there was an extremely important issue there, this is sanctions, i think the leaders of the leading world powers wanted to discuss how and what to do, well , in particular in such crisis stories as the iran-israel war, and so on , i think, the second question was what to do with russia, the russian economy, if putin does not bother with some kind of peace initiatives

i want to give recognition to our allies in israel as well. this is a plan that took months and weeks of precision so when we could be ready when the president of the united states called. it involves misdirection and highest operational security. rb2s went in and out of downtown of these nuclear sites in and out back without the world knowing at all. in that way, it was historic. a strike that included the longest bombing mission since 2001 and the first operational deployment, a massive ordinance penetrator. the mission demonstrated the level of joint and ally integration. as president trump stated, the united states does not seek war but let me be clear. we'll act swiftly and decisively when our people, partners and our interest is threatened. iran should listen to the united states and knows that he means it every word. i want to give congratulations to our commander in chief. it was an honor to watch him lead last night and to our american warriors on this successful operation. god bless our troops and america and we give glory to god for

but our european allies are doing a great job already. we are already close to 5%, so in this regard and looking at it through this lens - let me get -- i think it was a historic achievement. if we look at it through that lens, the spending lens, what does the 5% deliver for ukraine? it was interesting language. as you can see, the declaration was only five points. one of those points said very interesting language - the allies reaffirmed their sovereign commitments to support ukraine. in this 5%, nothing is explicit for ukraine, but the implicit is there that each ally who has been contributing will continue to contribute. your prior speaker, i think she made an interesting point with regard to lack of stronger ukraine language. a bunch of us would have liked to see the nato ukraine commission or counsel have a former session. there can be continued discussion. but as part of the 5%, i think a lot of the nations will continue to support ukraine. president zelensky had what he said was a good meeting with the president and other bilateral

we applaud allies were stepping up but others need to do more at the need to do it quickly.at the nato heads of state meeting later this month we expect our nato allies to commit to 5% of gdp on defense and offense related investments. something that was almost inconceivable before president trump led the charge in his first administration and continues in this one. as the president has rightly pointed out it is only fair our allies and partners do their part we can't want their security more than they do. the department of defense is executing a commonsense agenda to achieve peace through strength. the threats we face are serious, investments to camp the must also be. that's what this budget does, it matches capabilities to threats. while we long for peace we prepare for war and we must overcome decades of neglect and decline. we must fortify our position as the world's most lethal fighting force and that means acting fast as our opponents are. this committee is our critical partner in everything we do and we appreciate your leadership and oversight. we look for it to accom

is he really a reliable ally you can trust?yes, we work very closely with united states, we have done for many years. our teams are constantly talking to each other as they were throughout last week. you will have observed that after i got back from canada at the g7 i went straight into a cobra meeting, the purpose was to ensure we were ready for whatever might happen including a strike by the us. that was of significant importance to me because in many places across the middle east we are co-locating with the us and therefore we were already taking contingency measures last tuesday because i wanted did assuredness, to be assured personally we had in place all the necessary measures to deal with whatever the contingency may be. we were talking to and given notice by the us of their intentions during the course of last week, we talk to them all the time. that is the nature of the relationship between us, that is what has endured for 80 years and it is as strong now as it has ever been. and welfare, where have you so spectacularl

, and even a kind of ally, not a strong ally, well, for example, they tried to ask putin what such asian would do if, for example, they threatened or literally killed the leader of iran, khamenei, and somehow , you know, putin simply dodged the question. if tomorrow israel, with the help of the us, or without the help of the us, kills khamenei, what will be your reaction and russia's reaction, and your first actions? if you allow me, i hope that this will be the most correct answer to your question. i don't even want to discuss such a possibility, i don't want to. but they are already openly discussing it. mr. trump, mr. netanyahu, i heard all this, i don't even want to discuss all this, well, you can say that no, he just doesn't want to say such terrible things, so that, well, you know, after all, murder, all this should scare him, but you know, it's not exactly like that, because if you look at russian propaganda recently, somehow it turns out that iran is of course an ally, but some kind of such, well, such a weak union. in his sunday program, he just showed a map of the dismember

an intense feud breaks out between president trump and one-time ally elon musk after the tesla see ad the president over social media. the u.s. issues a sweeping new travel ban for people from 12 countries. we will be speaking with a member of the trump administration about it. nato cheaper poses a major increase in defense spending after the u.s. defense secretary warns against the alliance's reliance on washington. a warm welcome to world news america, it is good to have you with us. a major dispute has broken out between donald trump and former advisor elon musk, who is now calling for the president to be impeached. in the last few days he went from criticizing the president's new tax legislation to personal attacks on trump and now is in a public fight with u.s. commander in chief. trump responded on social media saying the u.s. should terminate some of elon musk's government contracts and he is very disappointed with mr. musk and suggested he had only turned against the bill when subsidies were cut for electric vehicles. mr. musk wrote that without me, trump would have lost the
