in this white house. but in the context of the president being on the world stage, it's a little bit alarming because he really did veer from end to end on various topics, whether it was trade with china or russia or iran. and the picture that you take away if you're european leaders or if you're the other world leaders at the g-7 is where does the united states stand on any of these issues? i think it's clear there's a power vacuum here where the u.s. used to be and now it's being filled by other people, namely france and to a lesser extent germany. >> i thought it was striking in that concluding news conference when he was asked for what his agenda would be when the united states hosts it he didn't articulate anything. he doesn't have an agenda. it was very apparent to anyone who was watching the g-7 this time around he did not come in with an agenda. he didn't come in with anything he wanted to accomplish. it is striking to think about the very notion that he did not blow up this meeting is seen as, ok
