angela merkel was her usual calm and a sober self. the two leaders saying a lot of 19 -- nice things about each other. donald trump talking about germany's sacrifice and afghanistan, thanking her for her leadership on ukraine and so on. and angela merkel saying they always look to america for partnership, so the mood music is right, but of course you can see this relationship is nothing like it was between angela merkel and barack obama. as for -- christopher: where do you see the remaining areas of disagreement? simon: angela merkel said we are two different people and we have very different origins and ideas, and in spite of that we will speak about our differences, we will tell each other, that is what we have been doing today, she said. and it can be difficult to have negotiations, that is what politicians are for, she said. so you heard donald trump saying immigration is a privilege, not a right. sort of a job - - jab to angela merkel's open-door policy. angela merkel saying trade and security are always not just german issues, t

hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. >> it is of cour angela merkel. hallie preview the news conference for us if you can. are we expecting bygones to be bygones? >> reporter: that's what we're going to find out. angela merkel is certainly somebody who has interacted on the world stage if she tips her hand to how she is feeling about this, it will be done in a subtle manner but you got to pick up on her cues here. what we've seen so far the meetings, the pool spray and at rifle it's been cordial obviously. i think, i would imagine that some of the reporters who will be able to ask questions of the leaders today will press angela merkel and donald trump on their relationship, given some of those past comments. he was very strong on the campaign trail, coming out against germany particular as it comes to her policies on immigration and refugees, very timely for the u.s. in light of this travel ban that just got blocked a couple of days ago here president trump tried to put in place, so i think it's certainly going to be as all of these have been, craig,

you know angela merkel. how effective can she be in performing -- in forming a personal relationship? of angelaperception merkel is that she is pretty , and very much a scientist by the books kind of person. what struck me is how incredibly personal and engaging and charming she is. and it makes sense. she grew up in a political system that you get to go out to the public and get lots of votes running for chancellor. my first meeting like the one that is happening today is the one that happened between president obama and chancellor merkel a couple of months after the allegations broke about the cell phone being tapped. it was not a day at the beach meeting. i was able to watch that relationship go from a little bit of chill in that first meeting to the closest personal relationship. and so i have no doubt that she has got the personal skills to with someone who seems to relish personal relationships. and she seems to respond on that basis. has been our most recent ambassador to germany. let's get a check on

this is an important meeting for angela merkel. president barack obama and angela merkel had a close working relationship that brought berlin and washington the closest they had been for a source of and was a pride for germany. there is a feeling that angela merkel will be starting from square one. the new president is someone germans are skeptical of. they're not sure what to make of contradictory remarks. and he has made very barbed remarks about angela merkel, claiming her refugee policy was written in germany. brexit when for angela merkel was talking about reintegration. and the nationalistic rhetoric when germany is calling for greater ties economically -- she is a very experienced diplomat. she has worked with difficult leaders before. they will be having conversations on issues like syria, russia, north korea. trying to gauge donald trump's stance on issues important to germany and europe, like climate change. there will be a little give on the issue of nato. donald trump has called for germany to up its defense spending fo

our question was how would angela merkel respond? i wouldn't be surprised if she was asked by a reporter here about that topic. in addition, as we're discussing the immigration and refugee policy in germany that donald trump has called catastrophic, saying it caused huge problems overseas, very topical in light of the travel ban that was just blocked by a federal judge, what, two days ago now. you know, it's one of these instances, craig, where the new of the day is going to be coming after the news of the day haens. so, we're eager, obviously, to get this thing started so we can hear what both of these leaders have to say about their conversations today. >> even, perhaps, more interested in the questions that they will be asked after their statements and whether they actually answer those questions. hallie jackson inside the east room. katy tur, resident trump expert to a certain extent, spent a fair amount of time with the candidate on the trail. this is, one would assume, going to be one of those situations where there is, perhaps

angela merkel for the first time with donald trump. the german warns of they may retaliate against any new u.s. import tariffs. a global rally spurned by the president and markets are beginning to lose momentum. emerging markets having their best week in a year. awaysa may could be days from triggering article 50. european officials are ruling out any discussion of trade until that happens. let's have a look at where european equities are trading. 30 minutes until the end of the friday session. we are up for the week. forex, mixed performance. the euro lower today. cds's.odities in light of the big event yesterday, the boe here in the u.k., i want to show you this chart that highlights various esters of inflation. ofvarious measures inflation. inflation climbing to 3.5%. that's the blue line. januaryive years from has annual rpi, 2.6 percent. nominal rates are being priced far lower. that gap shows investors may be getting a little bit ahead of themselves on the inflation outlook further out. it wasn't only kristin forbes who suggested

so donald trump has used angela merkel as a foil for a long time. she is under fire in her own country because she has taken a very welcoming posture toward refugees coming from syrian conflict, and that created friction over in germany. you also over in europe have the e.u. where you have angela merkel and germany having a very strong role in that institution, and in some cases, there are voters in germany who think germany is doing too much to help out countries that have more struggling economies. donald trump on the other hand takes the view, america first, we have to make sure our borders are secure. it is the contrasting message to what merkel has been staying at home, and those two forces are in tension which is why this meeting is so fascinating. >> leland: we will have to see these two leaders, road leaders take the stage, traditionally the united states and germany are close allies. they are speaking to different audiences, as you note, now we listen to the president inside a business roundtable. >> chancellor, thank you very much. such a

how do you think that went over with angela merkel? >> she's in an election year, very strong social democratic party to her left, major competitor. i don't think we'll hear any iron clad promises to raise the german defense budget. what the germans have been till teleing people -- i heard this on a trip to berlin last year -- was that after the election, they would move over time to hit 2% of gdp, which is the nato floor for all defense spending. where germany goes, other countries in the eu will follow. >> the other big story of the day is what's going on with north korea and secretary of state rex tillerson. listen to what he said earlier today. >> let me be very clear. the policy of strategic has ended. we're exploring economic measures, all options are on the table. certainly we do not want to -- for things to get to a military conflict. we're quite clear on that in our communications. if north korea takes actions that threatens the south korean forces or our own forces, then that will be met with an appropriate response. >> all a

he sees angela merkel as a linchpin of european unity. when he talks for germany to fleece to the united states, this goes to the heart of what he's doing working on more of these bilateral relationships. some of his secretaries have gone out and gave welcoming messages. but certainly she's going to want to solidify that he's pro europe. >>> we'll have more live coverage of the meeting. we'll take a break and be right back. and natural flavors from the very beginning. give kind a try. won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, you won't have to worry about replacing your car because you'll get the full value back including depreciation. and if you have more than one liberty mutual policy, you qualify for a multi-policy discount, saving you money on your car and home coverage. call for a free quote today. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ share the joy of real cream... ..

will he get some pushback from angela merkel there? >> well back in 1984 to '87 i was with an airborne unit part of a nato force that was a quick reaction force for nato and also the allies there. so i think it is very important president trump clarified statements he previously made about nato and talk about his vision for what nato needs to be in the future and -- charles: with all due respect it should be less russian-centric, afraid of the old ussr, and more terrorist, al qaeda, isis, able to quickly move against them. >> should be actually both, charles. and what we have to come to understand we have state and non-state belligerents out there be it russia, china, iran and north korea and also the islamic terrorist organizations which any given day is between 22 to 25. so nato needs to look how it can make itself relevant for the new 21st century battle field. that is great conversation the two of them should have. charles: paying their fair share might be a good idea as well. >> yes. we can not be their defense structure anymore.

suggesting might have happened to him as well. >> reporter: yeah, in fact, we know that angela merkel's cell phone was, in fact, listened to during the obama administration and when it became public, of course, it was something that

what does angela merkel have to say about this? >> and typical angela merkel fashion, the first thing she did was to explain this is actually legal, you only need a qualified majority, everyone knew that. they said, nevertheless, the qualified majority notwithstanding, they tried to have consensus, but the -- at least seeking consensus should not lead to a blockade. in this case, the polish blocking the scenario. she did not seem very upset about it, although she said she would prefer unanimity. brent: it would be nice to have this consensus going forward, especially because next week we have elections in the netherlands. >> that is one part of it. more portly, in two weeks, we have in rome, the summit that is going to kickstart the new european union. you can see here, tusk not being the only one. leaders being very worried about the polish behavior. for example, the prime minister of malta saying this was a very political decision, they decided to not support anything in the final declaration no matter what was the content of the

these partners are represented by angela merkel. >> okay. so there is the partnership that's one thing. i just want to focus on who she is. she's a tough cookie. do you think that maybe the president will meet his match with her? >> well, i'm going to be fascinated to hear what trump says today about the relationship with germany because in the view of people like steve bannon and the alt-right party, trump is one piece in a populist upricing and merkel is the last globalist. it is all about the refugee crisis and the number of refugees that germany has taken in. that's why trump was criticizing her and comparing her to hillary clinton during the campaign. will they find a way to see eye to eye despite the different ideologies or will it be about practical are we friends? >> he tends to say what that person believes -- >> what they want to hear. >> he does that almost -- >> he comes out later -- >> he comes out later and says something different than what he says publicly. he does it with world leaders and members of congress and the like. i

angela merkel will select a couple of german reporters. when you ask do think he'll be asked about it, depends who isoi the asking. that's part of the, if you want to say suspense building up to this news conference, it is obviously one of if not the biggest headline of the day, certainly, if not the last two weeks, since the president tweeted that claim so we will see if he in fact addresses it himself. he did talk with tucker carlson on fox but there have been developments since then including the fallout with our allies overseas. >> let me ask but that, sabrina. your parent company is in the uk, and this obviously is a whole new world. i hear from my friends who live overseas that they're watching daily briefings and they're certainly watching these press conferences. let's start with the obvious, how unhappy is british intelligence right now? >> they were unhappy enough to issue what is a very public rebuke and a rare public rebuke of the comments that sean spicer made, implicating the british intelligence community while trying to sup

. >> it is 5:15 in new york, president trump welcoming angela merkel to the white house, the meeting could be tense because of significant policy differences, trump has criticized the refugee policy calling it a disaster for germany and said nato is obsolete but both sides insist they want to develop a strong working relationship. trump's budget proposal getting strong heat for members of his own party, they're keeping up the military but far less enthusiastic about trump's recipe for doing so without adding to the $20 trillion debt. and snapchat, the stock of its parent company, snap shares dropping below $20 after another analysts accelerating on the stocks, a lot of competition out there. it has been relatively up week for the stock market, no big games, we are flat, down to point, s&p down a point, nasdaq up not even a point. let's look at what is happening now. >> the trump administration defending its america first budget which contains deep spending cuts, creating a lot of pushback particularly in hollywood. here is more on the reaction. explain to us. >> reporter: people don'

-- angela merkel. he certainly has a different world view from her entirely but there's no question that germany wants to reset its relationship and get to know this president as well. it's something that happens with each change of power but this is without request the most consequential face to face meeting so far that this new administration has had during about two months or so in office but wolf again, those wiretapping allegations hanging over the president, the administration, been debunked by democrats and republicans alike, the president is facing who after has a luncheon with her and then flies to florida. >> it's pretty shocking that the president allowed these wiretap allegations to fester two weeks. >> joining us live from berlin right now, what's the overall view over there of the new american president and chancellor americhance merkel's effort to reset. remember, she has an election coming up in september? >> absolutely. i think a lot of germans have been puzzled to see what's been happ

merkel at the white house -- counselor angela merkel at the -- chancellor angela merkel at the white house. there was a discussion about taking a moonshot on apprenticeship, and this is something that came up while the leaders were speaking in their news conference as well. oliver: we have been chronicled calling -- chronicling donald siding with ceos, and angela merkel said the same thing, this is what we have been doing with apprenticeships. scarlet: and the shepler ceo speaking to the press is law after speaking with merkel and donald trump. we are about an hour away from the close of u.s. market, select take you to julie hyman now to get a sense of where stocks are trading. notice thatf her the s&p 500 got a bit of a lift as the president and chancellor merkel was speaking. julie: it is up not even two points, not even .01% does not even .0% -- not even .1%. this lifting a lick in volume however for major averages today, and that is something that characterizes it as well. or we are seeing happen in stocks is divorced from what is happening in d.c., at least for today. that altho

angela merkel bringing the ceos of bmw and siemens. the migrant crisis that continues to show no sign of letting up and of course, a frank conversation about the u.s. role in nato. the president has been skeptical of nato asserting that other members certainly haven't been paying their fair share. the treaty calls for a goal of states to spend about 2% of gdp. jermaine closed coming in at 2.13%. >> we strongly support nato, we only ask that the nato members make their full and proper financial contributions to the nato alliance, which many of them have not been doing. many of them have not been even close. they have to do that. >> it is also a good bet that the two leaders will discuss the refugee crisis that continues to overwhelm europe. the president, who you pointed out rightly, said that angela merkel made a catastrophic mistake in allowing nearly a million refugees into germany. it's pretty clear both will try to defuse the campaign tone rhetoric, but they are also mindful that they have domestic audiences that they have to speak

>>> plus trump and germany's angela merkel extremely awkward body language. what did it actually mean? let's go out front. i'm erin burnett. out front on this friday night, the president putting his pride above his country. president donald trump doubling down on a false

angela merkel while in the united states alongside with u.s. president trump expressed her hopes that things might improve. let's listen. >> translator: i am very gratified to know that the american administration and also the president personally commits himself to the minsk process. we need to come to a solution of this. there has to be a safe and secure solution for ukraine, but the relationship with russia has to be improved as well once the situation there on the ground is clarified. >> reporte >> so despite what we saw, germany and the united states, does that type of pressure make a difference when it comes to ukraine? >> reporter: russia's position on eastern ukraine is very clear. they maintain they are not officially party to that conflict and they are not responsible they say for the fact that tminsk agreement has yet to be implemented. but the optics of president trump standing with angela merkel, she is in favor of sanctions remaining in place, is something that will not be celebrated here in about moscow about that there was certa

then all eyes will turn to chancellor angela merkel. as mark crumpton mentioned, question surrounding russia's involvement in the u.s. presidential election has been around for months. led to theas dismissal of president trump's national security adviser. jefft attorney general sessions in the hot seat. i spoke with general michael hayden, former director of the cia and the nsa, author of a new book playing to the edge, american intelligence in the age of terror. i asked him if he is optimistic congressional hearings will lead to answers. --there is an interested interest to cross party lines. may be republicans want to show there is an. that's a good thing. >> how important is it for these hearings to be public? >> there are always sources and methods you don't want to reveal. this is a case where all ties go to the runner. go to being as transparent as we can. recall in january the intel folks put up this paper that the russians did indeed hacked the elections. i think that is right. they give it hike confidence. but they didn't show

hillary clinn want to be america's angela merkel. [laughter] and you know what a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany and the people of germany. we have seen attacks in france, in belgium, in germany, all over the world. it is not compassion, but reckless to allow uncontrolled antry from places where proper vetting can not occur. stuart: now, the other side of the coin. there have been attacks by migrants who went to germany. they have conducted some attacks in the past year. president trump was railing against that. and against that for part of angela merkel's policy. give me a list of the incidents. ashley: it is quite a list of 2016. we can give you five or six. february last year a knife attack in hanover. a police officer was stabbed by a 15-year-old moroccan girl. in may, one dead, three injured. a man attacking people on a train in munich, yelling "allahu akbar!." in july 18th, axe and knife attack by afghan refugee injured five on a train. july 24th, ma chet see attack in germany. syrian refugee killed a preg

reporter: well, surely the deal is important for angela merkel and her government. we are six months away from national elections in germany and that refugee deal, so-called refugee deal, certainly has helped to ease tensions in germany, domestic tensions over her refugee policy, so it has helped her a lot. and a migration deal is certainly one of the reasons she is holding back, but also, we shouldn't forget that germany and turkey have been strong partners in the past. turkey is a nato ally. german troops and reconnaissance aircraft are stationed on a military base in turkey in the fight against the islamic state. turkey is a very close ally. so for all of these reasons, the chancellor does not want to escalate the tensions further. on the other hand, we are seeing politicians from across the aisle here saying that angela merkel should take a strong stand and she should clearly state, look, turkish politicians, you are not welcome to campaign here in germany. brent: and all along we have the german domestic intelligence agency saying a couple things. on wednesday

angela merkel called on turkey to stop comparing the german government with nazis. she was referring to recent comments by the turkish president that she was -- employing nazi tactics. reporter: it is very rare that german chancellor angela merkel breaks protocol as she did today , come bending on turkey instead of sticking to the routine -- she did today, commenting on turkey instead of sticking to the routine. she demanded turkey stop drawing nazi parallels to present-day turkey. >> my statement stands that the nazi comparisons need to stop. no ifs or buts. unfortunately they have not stopped and we will not allow the excuse that the end justifies the means. reporter: the turkish president has repeatedly accused germany of using nazi methods against turkish people living in germany. erdogan is angry. he is upset that a demonstration by kurds that was allowed to go ahead last weekend in front for. erdogan said that germany fosters terrorists. they called the nazi comparisons and outrage. >> i think someone has to tell mr. erdogan at the head of state of a nato coun

mark: is there likely to be a threat today from angela merkel that if the u.s. implement these thatrists -- the tariffs germany to retaliate? tony: that seems pretty unlikely. this is a get to know you meeting. there is a lot of state including for the markets in message, and even maybe the body language that comes out of this meeting in terms of, is this about conflict or are we trying to solve problems? merkel will always say we always trying to help the world's problems. she is a physicist and a very pragmatic politician, but i would not expect that. there has been noise from second-tier politicians in germany saying if the u.s. imposes the border adjustment tax, we are not going to sit still either. surprised if that is the tone that comes out of today's meeting. mark: tony, thank you. ?ulie was t here and joined by an economics minister. he is based in the u.s. and has his own consulting firm. thank you for joining us. we appreciate your time. we have this day when trump is meeting with merkel in washington. at the same time, we have treasury secretary mnuc

angela merkel is known for her long, long history with vladimir putin. she has had a relationship with him over years. they've gotten together, they speak the same language literally, she has sat there and really understands him here she does not trust them, but she understands him. you have to think that has to be one of the main topics today. >> there is huge concern, as i said earlier, in europe about america changing its position on russia. there is a perception that we are appeasing russia, that the president has not condemned the ukrainian escalation that has taken place. he has not condemned russia now violating a very important nuclear treaty that is critical to the security of europe. there are many things he has not stepped up on that a traditional american president would have. he too believe i clearly has a different relation with russia than previous american presidents. europeans are very worried about this because they see russia as a real imminent threat to their security so i think this will be a very important part of the dialogue today

let's start with angela merkel. because two of the most powerful people in the world met today at the white house. they met to talk about trade and terrorism and europe and international relations. but all everyone was talking about was this. watch this. >> as far as wiretapping, i guess by you know, this past administration, at least we have something in common perhaps. >> here's my question. did you see the look on angela merkel's face when the president made that joke? what's going on here? >> you couldn't have two more different people. angela merkel is this east german daughter of a minister, physicist, deeply analytic and also somebody who is deeply committed to the western values of liberty. she was born in a communist dictatorship. and while all of that is going on trump was doing what he was doing in new york in the 1980s and going on the howard stern show and boasting about his infidelities. this is two very, very different people. but i think the philosophical difference really is that she deeply believes

more now on president trump meeting angela merkel. the two leaders coming face to face for the first time. the german chancellor noting people are different and have different abilities. when asked about dealing with president trump compared to obama. the two leaders have had very different views on a range of issues. on russia, merkel said relations needs to be improve but first they have to solve the situation in ukraine. germany has led the way or penalties for russian invasion of ukraine. president trump has suggested easing u.s. sanctions against moscow. president trump spoke on nato. he said he pushed hard for the european nations to pay their fair share towards that alliance and on the refugee crisis, president trump said immigration is a privilege and not a right. in the past, he a counted the chancellor of ruining germany, called her refugee policy a disaster and said the german people would end up overthrowing her. analysts say today was a chance to start fresh. let's bring in a foreign affairs correspondent for politco. loo

on the other side, you have angela merkel and —— jean—claude juncker. and that is only a tiny part of the picture. at the end of the day, it also involves all the other countries, and they have their own voices and wa nt and they have their own voices and want different things from the uk in terms of what their brexit will look like or what they want to establish in any ongoing partnership with them. so this is tiny. the other thing is, the negotiators themselves, we have the department for international trade basically hiring hundreds of trade negotiators, boring zone from canada. there is a whole to people that will be in this, many of whom we will not see their faces, but there will be flying around europe and to other parts of the world. and of course, francois hollande is about to lose elections. he is definitely out. angela merkel has a yellow card that because she could be out as their election is coming up be out as their election is coming up next year, i think. there will be interesting who becomes a household name amongst the european players

he'll be side by side with german chancellor angela merkel in a few hours. we'll begin with nic robertson, in london, apparently the recipient of an apology. >> reporter: yeah, they wanted a promise this wouldn't happen again. gchq headquarters rarely make a statement. they describe what sean spicer said there as ridiculous. we heard from prime minister theresa may's office, i'll quote from what her spokesperson says. here we go. we've made clear to the administration that these claims are ridiculous and they should be ignored and we've received assurances that these allegations will not be repeated. that's what was told to a journalist this morning. why is this so important for theresa may? britain feels it has a special relationship with the united states. gchq has said, look, under any circumstances this couldn't happen. we share, britain shares with the united states the five i's, intelligence operation, if you will, that is, the united states, britain, canada, australia, and new zealand. under that agreement, under the terms of how those intelligence ag

in short, hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. and you know what a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany. it is a catastrophe. look at what's happening with germany. the crime wave over there. merkel is not going to be elected. i think merkel is a really great world leader, but i was very disappointed that -- when she moved with the whole thing on immigration. i think it's a big problem. >> who do you trust more if you talk to them? >> i start off trusting both. but let's see how long that lasts. >> so with that, charles, do you think, since it clearly exists, people when they meet face-to-face have that in the back of their minds at some level, do you think it should be noted at some point today? >> you know, i think they're probably not going to air their dirty laundry. but it does put chancellor merkel in a tough spot, because the german public has reacted harshly to president trump's words. and even though merkel wants to show that she can work with trump, she can't be too close to him because that would be see

just moments ago, from angela merkel. take a listen. >> i'm not sure that we need in writing that which we are all too aware of and that is there's no basis of what the president has said and what the president repeated today and i have express my mortification with angela merkel for him to repeat once again in the presence of one of our most significant allies this out landilandish cl that he was wiretapped by his pretty assessor ought to appall americans and reflects so poorly on the united states around the world, this should have never been a topic of discussion, a flippant work, it's just mortifying. >> reporter: how confident are you that that letter is going to show there's no evidence of wiretapping? >> i'm absolutely confident. there's in question about this. the president's statements before and his tweets since leading right up today have no basis in fact. >> reporter: so brooke, we'll see exactly what that letter says, but both adam schiff; dev devin nunes do not expect it will prove his claims that he was wir

how will donald trump receive angela merkel tomorrow? have had a storied relationship, to say the least. it will all come down to trade and immigration. this is a situation in which trump has routinely criticized angela merkel on the issue of immigration and let's not forget that this comes one day before he formally reveals his budget proposal. to nashville on wednesday to preempt this. so it is a busy week for the administration. and the outreach efforts. francine: what is the latest on the wiretapping? picturewe have a bigger of what actually happened? kevin: the whole country is talking about this. the house committee members have said that they are giving the administration until today to provide evidence. this comes more than one point five weeks after top intelligence committee officials testified before the house intelligence committee next week. the fbi director will be there as well. it will continue. it will impact markets. tom: kevin cirilli, thank you so much. now, we talked to carl weinberg. right now, on the president, we

angela, what happened? hillary clinton wants to be america's angela merkel. really. >> so how do you think she'll handle that history there? >> i think what she's going to say, look what's happened here. we managed to absorb all of these refugees, some over a matter of really not just this current wave but waves going back really back to the 1970s and 1980s, we have absorbed them and proved to be the leader in europe in doing this thing. it's a humanitarian gesture and potential financial gesture because they are filling jobs in germany that germans don't want to fill and can't fill. there is a certain risk but she understands also the benefits that can result as well. >> the other thing that may happen today that has nothing to do with her, she may be standing next to the president when he has to face questions about the fact the white house had to apologize to great britain overnight for things the white house has been saying on wiretapping. great to have you with us, interesting discussion. the white house says the president's budget is focused on national

and angela merkel says, should we shake hands? and he doesn't acknowledge her, doesn't look at her direction. doesn't smile. it is such a notable difference, the body language in this room than we saw when donald trump was sitting next to shinzo abe of japan or when he was sitting next to benjamin netanyahu of israel. karen finnny has joined us, when you don't have a positive relationship or what looks like potentially not a positive relationship with germany, you know, what does that mean? germany is one of the most powerful allies we have. >> that's right. it is one of our most powerful allies. and no doubt, the german chancellor came here with a serious agenda to discuss with donald trump, and probably was a bit taken aback that he wouldn't even shake her hand. i mean, that's quite offensive. and i think as an american, it's offeive that our own president couldn't be gracio, given that he was hosting the cncellor and would then go out and try to make some sort of joke. and i think it goes, again that image goes again to his cre

"pero al menos, quizÁs tenemos algo en comÚn, afirmÓ trump". se referÍa a que la administraciÓn obama intervino el telÉfono personal de merkel. obama se disculpÓ y afirmó que fue sin su conocimiento. la prensa alemana hizo las preguntas mÁs agresivas, y uno le pregunta al presidente, por quÉ afirmÓ que gran bretaÑa los espiÓ durante la campaÑa. "nosotros no dijimos nada, sÓlo repetimos lo que dijo un analista en una cadena de televisiÓn", se distanció trump. llamÓ mentiras falsas a un periodista alemÁn. un analista dice que este tipo de afirmaciones sin pruebas causa consternaciÓn en el mundo. >> en europa, en otros paÍses, la gente se estÁ preguntando quÉ estÁ pasando, quÉ tipo de persona es esa. report

president trump welcoming german chancellor angela merkel to the white house. they just wrapped up their press conference. now they're holding a lunch meeting. a lot to unpack about this personal history, opposite world views, all of that coming up. >>> overshadowing the high-profile national visit a new controversy for the white house. this time it's with the british government. their spy agency, the gchq, issued a rare denial today of what they call, quote, an utterly ridiculous allegation. yesterday press secretary sean spicer brought up unfounded reports in the media that the british helped president obama eavesdrop on president trump during the campaign. >>> president trump meeting with study committee to discuss the new health care plan. to hear president trump describe, it the room went from all nos to all yeses. more on the future of the health care bill coming up as well. >>> let's get right to what we just saw last hour. joining me, chris jansing on the north lawn of the white house, kasie hunt on capitol hill, msnbc analyst jeremy bash will be with u

and angela merkel is a globalist. most of what she said on the press conference yesterday, she was lking about us doing business with the e.u. instead of doing a bilateral agreement between germany and the united states and that's why a lot of their talks failed. really don't think that people understand the functions of donald trump. he's a negotiator. and if you do read the "hart of the deal," just like to yesterday y'all were talking about the budget, you know, what was in the budget is outrageous but it's kind of like whenever you go to buy a car, you know the guy offers high and then you go low and you find somewhere in the middle. i'm not really worried about meals on wheels and it being cut. they're going to find a middle ground somewhere but i do think trump's major goal is to break down nafta and just like the u.k., i think they want to break down the e.u. and that in itself breaks down the commissioner which breaks down the whole globalist scheme. and i think people really need towns that if they donkeys the

president trump and the german chancellor angela merkel, the president taking two questions each from german and american reporters. american reporters asking president trump about health care problems inside the republican party getting to yes on that the president said he thought it was doing well. it was the german reporters who asked about those claims he's made almost two weeks ago, claims with no evidence that he had been the victim of wiretapping by president obama and a pretty remarkable series of responses there from the president after ignoring the first question from the german reporter, he did take a question about the report cited yesterday by press secretary sean spicer in the briefing room where he cited a report on fox news that claimed that british intelligence may have been behind the wiretapping of president trump as well during the campaign. the president trying to say there sean spicer was not endorsing the claims by even though he read them from the white house podium, of course, there have been calls for the national security adviser and sean spicer in the last

angela merkel meeting donald trump at the white house. politico writing about the free world meeting donald trump. the german chancellor is the only leader in europe who has a plausible claim to moral leadership. merkel was always going to be listened to carefully on morality and given her longevity always respected, but it was her decision to accept 1 million refugees which established her moral credentials, especially since no other mitt cal leader has taken such a political risk. president trump has gone after her for that. not a popular position in the united states. >> it's hurt her domestically. we look forward to that meeting. i wonder if president trump knows what her nickname is back in germany. mooty, which means mother. she is the mother of europe and the mother of germany. maybe there's a german nickname of daddy she can give to donald trump. >> she doesn't seem like one for funny names. >> she actually speaks perfect english but never does anything publicly -- >> president trump was mad in 2015 when she got times person of th

>> you know, from angela merkel's point of view, this is the first eyeball to eyeball encounter. the is one of germany's most external relationships. one presumes donald trump will repeat face-to-face the claims you heard, the migration policy is insane or catastrophe, she is ruining her country. even if he does say those things, we will see from angela merkel all of her diplomacy and restraint. she will say to donald trump, it is very important for germany and the united states to work together. brent: you are not a thespian. we know that. simon, what do you think donald trump will say tomorrow? >> he will emphasize common ground. i think he will be looking for an opportunity to understand where she is coming from, the issues outlined, which have to do with trade and the international economic system were generally, globalization, and i think simon is right. he will try hard to keep from offending the chancellor or talking down to her in any way. but i think there will be a fairly stiff exchange of views on the matters that the two of them talk about together, namely globalizati

today next to angela merkel he said, well, i never expressed any opinion on this, i just was quoting a fox news report. i'm just going to call for the sake of the record one of president trump's many tweets, those two weeks ago, here's one of them referring to, i bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that president obama was tapping my phones in october just prior to the election. the president himself referring to this allegation as a fact, not saying that fox news said it h h had. so the president attempting to redefine what he said. there's a record there as to what he charged, but still again, the white house not backing off that charge. >> an amazing situation. thanks so much. >>> joining us, jake sullivan, he was the national security adviser to then vice-president joe biden, also a top adviser to hillary clinton both at the state department and during her presidential campaigns. thanks, jake, very much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to first get your reaction. you heard president trump at the news conference today sort of smile and lo
