Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's bring in fox new senior strategic analysts. Retire General
- 0:03Speaker 1: Jack Kean, General, thanks for being here. That here are
- 0:06Speaker 1: the key takeaways from this meeting. US cuts China troriffs
- 0:10Speaker 1: by ten percent. China agrees to crack down on fentanyl.
- 0:15Speaker 1: US suspends new entity lists rule and Section three or
- 0:18Speaker 1: one tariffs on China. China pauses rare earth export controls,
- 0:22Speaker 1: suspends counter tariffs, and agrees to buy US sowrebeans. As
- 0:27Speaker 1: you hear the White House talk about this, the President
- 0:29Speaker 1: talk about this, what's your sense of what transpired there?
- 0:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, first of all, we're saying something is a
- 0:37Speaker 2: little different in terms of the president's trade policy and
- 0:41Speaker 2: the tariff policy undermining that, underpining that. What's happening here
- 0:48Speaker 2: is trade is becoming a part of foreign policy, and
- 0:51Speaker 2: this president is exercising that disproportionately to any of his predecessors.
- 0:57Speaker 2: And by any definition, you've got to characterize the trip
- 0:59Speaker 2: as successful, not just on China, but the trade deals
- 1:03Speaker 2: he's made with the other countries. But focusing on China,
- 1:06Speaker 2: I mean, he really went in here with his wind
- 1:08Speaker 2: at his back, much different than the first administration when
- 1:12Speaker 2: he met with President she multiple times, our economy is
- 1:15Speaker 2: Thrivingese she for the first time, is really having some
- 1:19Speaker 2: serious headwinds. In his twelve year reign as the president.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Much more than that, he had two key partners, Iran
- 1:28Speaker 2: and Russia. And look what happened here. The United States
- 1:31Speaker 2: and Israel is set back around for years in the
- 1:34Speaker 2: region with the possibility of ending peace on the horizon
- 1:38Speaker 2: here and normalization with Israel with the countries in the
- 1:41Speaker 2: region to include the Arab countries right on horizon, something
- 1:46Speaker 2: no would have been foresaw a year or so ago.
- 1:49Speaker 2: But here we are. And when you look at Russia,
- 1:52Speaker 2: I mean Russia, their economy is tanking and the war
- 1:57Speaker 2: is not going well. Let's face it, they're in their
- 1:58Speaker 2: fourth year. They haven't taken a major city since twenty
- 2:01Speaker 2: twenty two, and in the last year at plus, they've
- 2:05Speaker 2: been conducting this major offensive to take all of the
- 2:08Speaker 2: Dombasque reasons in southern Ukrainia. What are they taken in
- 2:11Speaker 2: the last year zero point six percent additional territory. That
- 2:17Speaker 2: is failure in terms of meeting their objectives and over
- 2:20Speaker 2: one thousand casualties a day. That is not sustainable over
- 2:25Speaker 2: the long haul. And Trump is finally giving up on
- 2:28Speaker 2: this guy because he talks nice, but he continues the war.
- 2:32Speaker 2: And now President Trump is doing what he's upgunning him,
- 2:35Speaker 2: removing weapons restrictions, and he's also putting sanctions on him.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I think he's fed up with Putin once and for all.
- 2:42Speaker 2: So I think this trip the reason why he's so
- 2:45Speaker 2: successful with China and got everything he has for because
- 2:48Speaker 2: if he's coming in there with a much stronger position,
- 2:52Speaker 2: for sure, and she is paying attention to what is
- 2:55Speaker 2: happening across the globe, and President Trump's influence and being
- 3:00Speaker 2: the world's number one global leader by far, anything that
- 3:04Speaker 2: we saw by comparison to the previous administration is completely different.
- 3:08Speaker 1: He's talenting the successes, the trades wins. But the other
- 3:13Speaker 1: thing we've talked about a lot is putting pressure on
- 3:15Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. We saw it with the India trade deal
- 3:20Speaker 1: on oil and the terrif on India. Chinese imports of
- 3:25Speaker 1: Russian oil two point two million barrels per day, more
- 3:29Speaker 1: than sixty two billion dollars spent. China has really the
- 3:34Speaker 1: key to pressuring Russia.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I really would have
- 3:40Speaker 2: liked that to be on the agenda. Maybe it was
- 3:43Speaker 2: on the agenda. I don't know if it was talked about.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I think if it was, and any progress would have
- 3:47Speaker 2: been made there, we would know about it. I really
- 3:50Speaker 2: do think that China clearly matters in sustaining Russia. Not
- 3:56Speaker 2: just what the oil, but that's primary, but they provide
- 3:59Speaker 2: everything short of a weapons system to them to keep
- 4:02Speaker 2: them moving. They are their number one supplier in keeping
- 4:06Speaker 2: Putin in the war and compensating for the short falls
- 4:10Speaker 2: he has in his defense industrial base. And we're going
- 4:13Speaker 2: to have to deal with China when it pertains to
- 4:16Speaker 2: support for Russia at some point here.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Yeah, let me quickly ask you about this US nuclear testing.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Last test the US did was nineteen ninety two. Why
- 4:24Speaker 1: do you think we're starting again?
- 4:28Speaker 2: You know, I can only speculate here, but it's been
- 4:31Speaker 2: known for a number of years, Brett. I mean the
- 4:34Speaker 2: three countries that are testing openly nuclear weapons in India, Pakistan,
- 4:38Speaker 2: and North Korea. We have suspected for years, and I
- 4:43Speaker 2: likely Trump took a briefing before he went on this
- 4:45Speaker 2: trip that China and Russia have been secretly testing nuclear warheads,
- 4:52Speaker 2: and likely the President has a pretty good fidelity on
- 4:56Speaker 2: what that is, if that actually has been taken, and
- 5:00Speaker 2: that may have been on his mind knowing that reality,
- 5:03Speaker 2: I'm only speculating as to why he wants to resume
- 5:07Speaker 2: that testing because he wants to shut them down. This
- 5:10Speaker 2: isn't He doesn't want to escalate. As you well know,
- 5:13Speaker 2: he wants to reduce the number of nuclear weapons we
- 5:16Speaker 2: have while China is expanding and trying to catch us
- 5:18Speaker 2: and go past us. He would like to get into
- 5:21Speaker 2: a deal with China, Russia in the United States sitting
- 5:24Speaker 2: down around a table and let's reduce the number of
- 5:27Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. Russia's increasing theirs because they've got tactical nuclear
- 5:31Speaker 2: weapons now because they broke part with the IMF treating
- 5:35Speaker 2: that Reagan established, and she is on the march with
- 5:39Speaker 2: modernized nuclear weapons and his desires to go right past
- 5:43Speaker 2: what Russia and the United States have. And when you're
- 5:45Speaker 2: looking at the you got to look at the both
- 5:47Speaker 2: of them as being adversaries of ours and combine their
- 5:51Speaker 2: nuclear weapons together is the issue for the United States
- 5:54Speaker 2: and dealing with this, and there's no wonder the President
- 5:57Speaker 2: wants to sit down and have a discussion bringing this
- 6:00Speaker 2: all down to something that's far more reasonable.
- 6:04Speaker 1: General Keen as always, Thank you.
