Donald Trump's inauguration day close
within dancing to Franklin actors my way
and whatever you think of the 43rd
president and there are many views of
them he certainly did do it his way
not for him idealistic calls for
national unity instead he used friday
the inaugural address to launch a
blistering attack on the Washington
establishment and on the dark state of
the nation and its political class had
to promise to take his uncompromising
approach from the campaign trail right
into the White House is Adam plumbing
with a reminder of an extraordinary few
days
alright dropping by for a cup of tea and
a slightly awkward exchange of gifts
with the obamas than friends foods and
predecessors watched the Donald become
the president donald john Trump do
solemnly swear that i will take the
crowd seemed smaller than previous
inauguration speech tougher than any
previous incoming president from this
day forward it's going to be only
America first America first other
traditions stayed the same the parade
the damn thing to meaningful music in
the meantime there were erratic protests
in washington DC opponent made their
voices heard around the world to the
president who criticized the work of the
intelligence agencies it in a visit to
the CIA
there is nobody that feels stronger
about the intelligence community and the
CIA and then Donald Trump there's no
back and back at the office in the dark
the signature signal the end of the
Obama era and the dawn of trauma so the
speech gave is the few hidden support
expect from a trump presidency and more
details have been appearing during his
first few days in office in a pugnacious
and partisan speech he talked of an
America in carnage to be rebuild with
American hands and american labor urging
a policy of by American and hire
American president from has already
started to dismantle key parts of the
Obama legacy including the unwinding of
the Affordable Care Act and the
sidelining of the climate action plan to
tackle global warming has little to say
about foreign policy but pledged to
eradicate Islamic terrorism from the
face of the ass insisting he would
restore the US military to one question
dominance
he also said the US would develop a
state-of-the-art missile defense system
to deal with nuclear threat species from
Iran and North Korea in a speech that
think is a bleak picture of the country
he will now run he said his would be a
law-and-order administration and he
would keep the innocent safe by building
the border war with Mexico as he had
promised one thing he didn't mention but
is of a special interest of this side of
the Atlantic for the first time ever
there's a Euroskeptic in the Oval Office
who is also an enthusiastic for
breakfast it
and we're joined now by technologies
Trump supporters been tipped to the
president's choice for ambassador to the
EU just flown back overnight from
Washington by James Reuben a Democrat
yourself in the Clinton administration
welcome to both of you
let's start with that last point that i
made it there in the voice-over we now
have a Euroskeptic in the awful office
he's very Pro brexit he's not keen on
further European Union integration with
of the implications of that
well I think the implications are first
of all a renewal of the us-uk special
relationship so you see the Prime
Minister going already on a very fast
trip to build and rebuild this
relationship already the bust of Winston
Churchill is back in the Oval Office it
didn't even take her arrival to make
that happen
interesting than Martin Luther King's
bus is also there so there's an active
unit even his first moving to bust into
that office but i think that the
significance is that Donald Trump will
be oriented towards bilateral
relationships and not multilateral or
supernatural 50 years has been the
policy of the state department to
encourage European integration the white
cause now has a man who doesn't believe
in it
what are the implications of that well I
think we are present at the application
the unraveling of America's leadership
of the West there was a thing called the
West that America has led since the end
of world war two creating I think we
just heard supernatural I think you
meant supernational although for some
people
supernatural is probably what it is we
created these institutions we believe
that they were valuable i think with
American leadership the world was at
peace in Europe and the world grew
increasingly democratic and increasingly
prosperous these things worked wars were
averted which could be extremely costly
but when something works in diplomacy
you don't really understand what the
consequences could have been and I think
we've gotten complacent and I think the
new president is taking advantage of
that I think it's a terrible tragedy
that so many in the West take for
granted the
successful leadership and institutions
that we've built you could argue and
digital written as are using some
articles that mr. Obama began this
process of America withdrawing somewhat
from leadership of the the West will mr.
Trump America be more involved in the
world will it provide that leadership or
will it continue the process of with the
running shoes on that began with mr.
Obama no I think that it's created the
president obama step back from American
leadership he withdrew from the world he
had a horrendous eight years in office
and American powers in diminished
everywhere not just in Europe but
everywhere in the world so that power
bill restarted in a sense Trump takes
power the focus will be on America first
the market has strong interests around
the world is it reassess itself for the
rest of the world
well i think that the institutions will
be recreated some of them may be taken
down and maybe some new ones i think
NATO itself a absolutely the defense
secretary will have discussions with
Donald Trump about how NATO can be
reformed and reshaped and maybe they'll
be more burden-sharing that's an
important thing for mr. from you you are
tipped to be the US ambassador to
Brussels to the EU and we're still
waiting to hear that are going to happen
i understand it is but is it true to say
that mr. Trump does not believe in EU
integration I think he made that clear
Michael go speeches not in favor of
super national although we mentioned god
three times in his inaugural address he
did he does not believe in those kinds
of organizations so he's investing
himself in bilateral relationships the
first and foremost of which will be
united kingdom so here we have a
president that doesn't believe in EU
integration and has been highly critical
of NATO do the people he's a pointing to
defense secretary of state national
security
do you think that will temper this
antenatal retro will he come round
to a more pro native situation well I
think we're going to end up those of us
who care about America's leadership in
the world missing of President Obama a
lot and that's because rhetoric matters
when you're the leader of the West yes I
think you're right the Secretary of
State and the Secretary of Defense will
limit the damage they will probably
urged him not to take formal steps to
unravel this most powerful and most
successful alliance in in history the
NATO alliance but the damage is already
being done when you're the leader of the
West when your leader leadership means
that your persuading you are encouraging
you are bolstering your leadership and
these institutions by the way you speak
and millions and millions if not tens or
hundreds of millions of people have now
heard the United States say what we care
about is within our borders and the rest
of you can fend for yourself what you
think that well it's such an
overstatement from a kalonian the the
point is that Donald Trump is in the
Jacksonian tradition of national
populism so he's appealing to the
american population he's putting the
people first
if anything the other day and I was
sitting right below the diocese during
our glorious he basically said everyone
sitting behind me is part of the problem
everyone sitting in front of me
the crowd and the crowd on television as
part of the solution so we're giving the
government back to the people and that
emphasis is really going to change
American life including american
international relations it doesn't mean
we're moving out of NATO it doesn't mean
that we're giving up any of the seats of
power we have all the trees will be torn
up
it simply means we're going to put our
interests our national interests first
Andy their echoes in his inauguration
address all of and rejections
inauguration address in 1820 know that
night the Jacksonian went on and had a
party and trash the White House that mr.
trans people didn't do that so there is
a difference there
he also said something else in the
inauguration address that protectionism
would lead to prosperity i would suggest
there is no evidence of that from the
post-war world that that is not true
well he didn't mention protectionism he
did talk about protecting the American
worker protecting the American Jobs
protecting the American economy i
actually think that Donald Trump will
not turn out to be a kind of smooth
Holly protectionists if you read the art
of the deal which is very daring to the
two Republican senators who introduced
method terrace in the Hoover administer
correct so I'm not looking forward to
that I don't think you'll see that but I
said to number 10 this last week if you
read the art of the deal your
understanding Donald Trump actually a
transactional basis deals with people
and we'll deal with countries so there's
a lot of bluster there's a lot of
positioning and I think you see this
already in his jawboning of jobs back to
the United States the Chinese are afraid
because things are going to change
responses that also do with this
proposition China's the biggest loser of
this election result
well let me say this is the first time
in American history an American
president has set for certainly in
modern history is view of the world and
it is a mercantilist accuse you of the
world it is through who makes more money
who gets more trade it doesn't look at
the shared values the leadership that
the defense that the world lead the art
of the deal has no application to
America's leadership of the world that's
what we're learning you can be a great
businessman and make great real estate
deals whether he did or not is debatable
but it has nothing to do with inspiring
shared values of from the West now
you're saying that China may lose
because they deem a pleasure them to
reduce their trade deficit with the
United States their their trade they may
or they may not
we may both lose right now his secretary
of state has said and I think he's gonna
walk this back once he's breathe
he's had said that they're going to
prevent the Chinese from entering these
islands in the South China Sea if they
were to do that it would be a blockade
and there would be a shooting war
between the United States and China so
us-china relations are the most
important a bilateral relationship with
the United States
and they don't lend themselves to the
bluff and bluster that may have worked
when you're trying to get a big building
on Second Avenue in Manhattan is a sign
of the biggest loser i think that the
Chinese have a lot to lose and this is
she was a devout this last week to
compare entrust them with President
Trump inauguration defending his role in
the global economy and China has largely
been a beneficiary of this very free
trade or edge of regime and some of that
is going to be real back is Germany the
second biggest loser in the sense that i
understand that he hasn't even agreed a
time to see angle America yet but also
that those close to them believe that
Germany is guilty of currency
manipulation by adopting a weak euro
instead of the dark strong deutsche mark
and that that is why they running a huge
balance-of-payments a surplus with the
United States american german relations
may not be great
well there is this point of view
throughout Europe you only need to go
and talk to the southern Europeans about
this question it seems like the euro has
been basically aligned to benefit
Germany Joe Stiglitz the famous actually
left-of-center Democrat economist has
made the same case in a recent book so
that point about the euros want to take
seriously on both sides of the aisle and
in this case I think Germany will be put
under the spotlight angle and Markel has
shown herself to be the most respected
and the most successful leader in Europe
we are all we care about the West who
care about the shared values of the West
should pray and hope that she is
reelected
this isn't about dollars and cents we
are living in a time where the Russian
leader has invaded another country in
Europe and for some inexplicable reason
the American president who can use his
insult diplomacy on everyone including
mrs. Merkel the only person he can't
seem to manage to find anything to
criticize about is mr. Putin there are
things more than more important than
that the actual details of your currency
there are things like preventing another
the war in Europe preventing a war
between the Chinese and the United
States you talk about the Trident
missile you were talking about all
morning on nuclear deterrence is
extremely important again it doesn't
lend itself to the bluff and bluster of
of a real estate I understand all that
but the fact we even talking about these
things shows you the new world that
we're moving into not just to get you
both to really react to this
this is a man that ended the bush
dynasty it's a man that beat the Clinton
machine it's a man in his inauguration
that not only did he not reach out to
the Democrats he didn't even mention the
Republicans these are change dates for
who they are changed a's and change can
be good or it can be disastrous
and what I'm worried about is it's easy
in the world of diplomacy and mission in
the leadership of the United States to
break things to break relationships to
ruin alliances these are things that
were carefully nurtured George Shultz
the famous Republican Secretary of this
irregular mr. Reagan talked about
diplomacy as gardening the slow careful
creation of a place with blossoming
bilateral relationships and flowering
multilateral relationships that takes
decades to create god i will apply them
away in a matter of things that are
going to give you the final word i
worked for George Schultz so let me tell
you that your shoulders the Marine who
stood up for America who defend America
who would actually be in favor of many
of the things that Donald Trump and the
Trump Network ever call of your mind out
that always top age that I've spoken to
are appalled by mr. Trump's application
of leader she's going to eradicate
radical islam terrorists from the f is
that our plan to do that I think that
the Defense Department is in fact test
now to come up with that plan and I know
that people in the national security
realm have been working on that plan
they say they will have such a plan in
some detail
we're going 60 to 90 days right we show
let's hope they succeed very well we've
run out of time to the fascinating issue
thank you
