'BACK OFF': Trump expected to PRESS Xi over China's Iran support

RICH: PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON HIS. WAY TO THE UNITED NATIONS THIS. WAY. THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING AS HE. GIVES A MAJOR SPEECH IN FRONT OF. THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL. ASSEMBLY TUESDAY. WELCOME BACK TO "FOX NEWS LIVE,". I'M RICH EDSON IN D.C. THE WAR WITH IRAN AND ITS GLOBAL. ECONOMIC IMPACT IS SURE TO BE A. TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IN NEW YORK. CITY AS WELL AS CONCERNS ABOUT. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS. TRYING TO REASSURE THE WORLD. THAT THE CURRENT STRATEGY WILL.

WORK NO MATTER HOW LONG IT. TAKES. >> I THINK THAT TIME WITH THE. PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY AND. OPERATION ECONOMIC FURY IS ON. THE PRESIDENT AND ON THE UNITED. STATES' SIDE. THE BLOCKADE IS IN PLACE. >> SO YOU SAID TIME IS ON OUR. SIDE. THAT MEANS THAT, YES, IT COULD. KEEP GOING UNTIL 2029? >> IS I DON'T -- I WOULDN'T. NECESSARILY PUT A TIMELINE ON. IT, BUT I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS. FOCUSED ON HIS CLEAR OBJECTIVES, THAT IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON AND THAT THEY ARE.

WELCOME TO COME BACK TO THE. TABLE WHEN THEY'RE READY TO. NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH. RICH: ALEX HOGAN IS AT THE WHITE. HOUSE WITH MORE. HI, ALEX. >> REPORTER: HI, RICH. FOREIGN POLICY ON FULL DISPLAY. IN THE DAYS AND WEEK AHEAD. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL TRAVEL TO. NEW YORK WHERE HE WILL HOLD AN. ADDRESS AND HE WILL SPEAK IN. FRONT OF THE UNITED NATIONS. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. ON THE SIDELINES OF THAT EVENT, WE DO EXPECT TO SEE HIM MEET. WITH GULF LEADERS AS THE. ADMINISTRATION FACES CONTINUED. PRESSURE IS AND CRITICISM OVER.

IRAN AND THE SOARING PRICES IT'S. CAUSING HERE AT HOME. THIS WEEKEND PRESIDENT TRUMP. ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT HE PLANS TO. CREATE AN A.I. FORCE AND NAME AN. A.I. CZAR AS THE ADMINISTRATION. FACES PRESSURE TO ENACT A.I. SAFEGUARDS. TRUMP HAS BEEN VOCAL IN WANTING. THE U.S. TO CONTINUE TO LEAD IN. THE DEVELOPMENT OF ART THE. OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE PRESIDENT'S OWN. ADMINISTRATION, OF COURSE, SUPPORTING THIS NEW DECISION. DEMOCRATS QUICKLY CRITICIZING. THE MOVE. >> THE WAY THAT WE TYPICALLY. THINK ABOUT IT IS A.I. REGULATION SHOULD BE USE CASE. AND SECTOR SPECIFIC.

AND I THINK THE CHALLENGE WE'RE. SEEING IN THE CONVERSATION AND. KISS COURSE TODAY IS PEOPLE. AREN'T -- DISCOURSE TODAY IS. PEOPLE AREN'T THINKING ABOUT IT. PRACTICALLY. THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY TO KEEP. WINNING THIS RACE. >> I WORK WITH BOTH DEMOCRATIC. AND REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS, AND. BOTH HAVE BEEN SOUNDING THE. ALARM PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU HAVE. A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. WHO SAYS THE WAY TO DEAL WITH IT. IS PUTTING TOGETHER AN A.I. FORCE BUT IT HAS NO SPECIFIC. RESPONSIBILITY ON GUARDRAILS. IT'S NOT A.I. FORCE, IT'S.

ANTIFARCE. >> Reporter: THIS MORNING. PRESIDENT TRUMP -- A.I. FARCE. PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCING THIS. MORNING HE WOULD MAKE HIS. TRIUMPHAL ARCH INTO A MILITARY. COMPLEX TO HAVE THE RAPID. ABILITY TO USE LARGE NUMBERS OF. DRONES PLUS SNIPERS ON THE ROOF. AND PLAZA AREAS AND ADDITIONALLY. HAVE, HOLD LARGE QUANTITIES OF. SNIPER AMMUNITION IN STORAGE. SO PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS AT CAMP. DAVID YESTERDAY. HE RETURNED TO THE WHITE HOUSE. LATE LAST NIGHT. HE IS CURRENTLY SPENDING THE DAY.

AT ONE OF HIS PROPERTIES, HIS. GOLF PROPERTY IN VIRGINIA. RICH. RICH: ALEX HOGAN LIVE FOR US, THANK YOU. LET'S BRING IN NILE GARDINER, DIRECTOR OF THE HERITAGE. FOUNDATION'S MARGARET THATCHER. -- THE MEETING WITH. PRESIDENT XI, WHAT CAN PRESIDENT. TRUMP REALISTICALLY HOPE TO. ACHIEVE IN A CONVERSATION WITH. PRESIDENT XI? >> WELL, THAT'S A GREAT.

QUESTION. I THINK HE'LL BE CALLING ON XI. TO BACK OFF ON HIS SUPPORT FOR. THE IRANIAN REGIME. AFTER ALL, COMMUNIST CHINA AND. THE ISLAMIST DICTATORSHIP IN. TEHRAN ARE THICK AS THIEVES, BASICALLY. AND CHINA HAS BEEN BAILING OUT. THE IRANIAN REGIME AND THE. IRANIAN ECONOMY. I THINK THE MESSAGE COMING FROM. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE THAT. BEIJING REALLY NEEDS TO BACK OFF. OVER THE IRAN WAR. AND END ITS SUPPORT FOR IRAN. I THINK THAT WILL BE A VERY,

VERY TOP PRIORITY IN ADDITION TO. A HOST OF OTHER AREAS AS WELL. BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE REAL LEADER. OF THE FREE WORLD RIGHT NOW, AND. THAT'S PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE. UNITED STATES. CHINA'S ASPIRATIONS, OF COURSE, TO BE A WORLD SUPERPOWER, BUT. THE REALITY IS AN AMERICAN POWER. GREATLY, GREATLY OUTRANKS THAT. OF CHINA. THAT'S THE REALITY ON THE GROUND. TODAY. RICH: ANOTHER MAJOR TOPIC OF. CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE SEEN. PREVIEWED IN ALL OF THIS IS. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE. IDEA THAT MAYBE THE TWO. COUNTRIES AS THE LEADERS IN.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SHOULD. CREATE SOME SORT OF SAFEGUARD. REGIME. DO YOU THINK THAT IS AT ALL. POSSIBLE? >> I THINK IT'S VERY DIFIFFICUL, OF COURSE, IF YOU'RE DEALING. WITH CHINA. CHINA IS A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT. RESPECT, I THINK, INTERNATIONAL. RULES AT ALL. THE UNITED STATES HAS A HUGE. STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE IN TERMS OF. A.I. TECHNOLOGY. THE CHINESE WILL SEEK TO STEAL, OF COURSE, THE U.S. TECHNOLOGY. AND UNDERMINE THE UNITED STATES. BUT THE U.S. HAS A MASSIVE.

ADVANTAGE. AND THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. BETWEEN THE LEADER OF THE FREE. WORLD, THE UNITED STATES, AND. THE COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP IN. BEIJING. IF FREEDOM REALLY -- FREEDOM. REALLY ADVANCES, I THINK, THE. UNITED STATES GREATLY ON THE. WORLD STAGE IN TERMS OF ITS. ADVANTAGES WITH REGARD TO A.I., AND THE CHINESE, OF COURSE, WILL. SEEK TO TRY AND UNDERMINE THE. UNITED STATES AT EVERY SINGLE. OPPORTUNITY. BUT ECONOMIC FREEDOM ALWAYS WINS. AT THE END OF THE DAY. RICH: IS PRESIDENT IS SCHEDULED. TO HAVE HIS FIRST MEETING WITH.

THE U.K.'S NEW PRIME MINISTER, ANDY BURNHAM. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF THAT. MEETING AND WHAT KIND OF. RELATIONSHIP DO YOU THINK THE. TWO WILL HAVE? >> I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE. RATHER INTERESTING BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, BURNHAM IS A. LEFT-WING SOCIALIST, IN MY VIEW. BURNHAM HAS ALREADY PROVEN TO BE. A DISASTROUS PRIME MINISTER, IN. MY VIEW, AND THE U.K. IS IN REAL. TROUBLE ON MASS MIGRATION. YOU HAVE AN ECONOMY, OF COURSE, THAT'S IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. SOCIALISM DESTROYS EVERYTHING IN. ITS PATH. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP, OF COURSE, WILL BE LOOKING ON BURNHAM TO.

SUPPORT, OF COURSE, THE U.S.-LED. WAR AGAINST IRAN. ALSO HE'LL BE LOOKING TO BURNHAM. TO SECURE BORDERS AND MASS. MIGRATION INTO THE U.K. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CARES. DEEPLY, OF COURSE, ABOUT FREEDOM. OF SPEECH IN BRITAIN AS WELL. AND YOU'VE SEEN THE ARRESTS, ACTUALLY, OR OF THOUSANDS OF. PEOPLE IN THE U.K. IN THE LAST. YEAR OR SO UNDER HORRIBLE, YOU. KNOW, LEFT-WING REGULATIONS OVER. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

SO PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE. SEEKING FOR A STRONGER U.S.-U.K. SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP, BUT HE'LL. BE LOOKING FOR A U.K. THAT'S. ACTUALLY PREPARED TO DEFEND IT. OWN BORDER, DEFEND FREEDOM OF. SPEECH AND STAND UP TO THE. ENEMIES OF THE FREE WORLD, ESPECIALLY THE IRANIAN REGIME. RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO SEE BRITAIN STANDING. SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THE. UNITED STATES AGAINST THE. IRANIAN ISLAMIST DICTATORSHIP. RICH: YEAH. THE LAST COUPLE OF AMERICAN. PRESIDENTS HAVE MET WITH SEVERAL. NEW U.K. PRIME MINISTERS. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK THAT.

BURNHAM HAS? WHEN IS THE ELECTION TIMELINE IN. THE U.K., AND HOW MUCH DOES THAT. AFFECT THE CONVERSATIONS THAT. THE TWO WILL HAVE? >> THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION IN. THE U.K. HAS TO BE HELD WITHIN. THREE YEARS. BURNHAM IS ACTUALLY NOT ELECTED. AS THE PRIME MINISTER, IN FACT, HE WAS APPOINTED THE LEADER OF. THE LABOUR PARTY. IN MY VIEW, NO REAL DEMOCRATIC. MANDATE. THERE SHOULD BE A GENERAL. ELECTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN. THE UNITED KINGDOM. MOST POLLS SHOW THAT THE. SOCIALISTS WILL SUFFER A. CRUSHING DEFEAT IN THE NEXT.

ELECTION. NIGEL FARAGE IS LIKELY TO BE THE. NEXT BRITISH PRIME MINISTER. WE SHOULD SEE A GENERAL ELECTION. IN THE U.K. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AND, HOPEFULLY, THE BRITISH. PEOPLE WILL THROW THE SOCIALISTS. OUT OF OFFICE. THEY'VE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE. DISASTER. NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM. SOCIALISM. WE NEED TO SEE BRITAIN STANDING. ON ITS FEET ONCE AGAIN AS A. TRULY GREAT NATION AND ALSO A. NATION STANDING SHOULDER TO. SHOULDER WITH THE UNITED STATES. LEADING, LEADING THE FREE WORLD. THAT'S THE KIND OF UNITED. KINGDOM WE WANT TO SEE RIGHT.

NOW. AND THE SOCIALISTS, I SAY, HAVE. TO BE, YOU KNOW, REALLY TURFED. OUT OF OFFICE AS SOON AS. POSSIBLE. THEY'VE BEEN INCREDIBLY. DESTRUCTIVE FOR BRITAIN. RICH: OKAY. NILE GARDINER, THANKS FOR. JOINING US. >> MY PLEASURE, THANK YOU. RICH: FIGHTING ESCALATING IN THE. MIDDLE EAST TO, THE HOUTHIS. LAUNCHING POLICE -- BALLISTIC. MISSILES AT SAUDI ARABIA. THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS ISSUED. EMERGENCY ALERTS TO U.S. EMBASSIES IN THE REGION. STEPHANIE BENNETT IS LIVE IN. LONDON WITH THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: HEY, RICH. YEAH, THOSE ALERTS WERE WARNING. THEM OF THE POSSIBILITY OF AIR. SPACE CLOSURES, FLIGHT. CANCELLATIONS AND TRAVEL. DISRUPTIONS IN BEIRUT, JERUSALEM, BAHRAIN TO NAME A. FEW. THESE ARE PERIODIC REMINDERS. THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR. POTENTIAL UNFORESEEN ESCALATION. AND AS YOU SAID, IT COMES AS. SAUDI ARABIA SAID IT FOILED THE. HOUTHI REBELS' ATTACK ON ITS. CAPITAL, RIYADH, YESTERDAY. INTERCEPTED -- INTERCEPTING AND. DESTROYING A BALLISTIC MISSILE.

VIDEO SHOWS FLAMES AND A LARGE. PLUME OF BLACK SMOKE SEEN NEAR. THE AIRPORT CAUSING TRAVEL. DISRUPTIONS. EMERGENCY AIR RAID SIRENS. SOUNDED ACROSS THE CAPITAL AS. WELL. THE HOUTHIS ALSO TRIED TO ATTACK. SPORTS NEAR THE RED SEA, BUT. THOSE WERE THWARTED AS WELL. LAST WEEK THEY CAPTURED KEY. CITIES DOWN THE COAST IN THE BAB. EL-MANDEB STRAIT ALLOWING THEM. TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON WHO COMES. IN AND OUT AND POSING A MAJOR.

THREAT TO GLOBAL OIL SUPPLIES. IT'S A VITAL SHIPPING ROUTE. THAT'S USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. WHILE AN ATTACK ON SAUDI'S. EAST-WEST PIPELINE WAS BLAMED ON. IRAN-BACKED MILITIAS IN IRAQ. >> IRAN NEEDS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE. LOSING THEIR LEVERAGE IN THE. CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, SO THE NEXT THING THEY HAVE IS. TO USE THEIR PROXIES. >> Reporter: THE UNITED. NATIONS' MIGRATION AGENCIES SAYS. AT LEAST 112,000 PEOPLE HAVE. BEEN DISPLACED INSIDE YEMEN JUST. IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ALONE.

NEARLY 3,000 FLED BY SEA. CROSSING TO DJIBOUTI. MEANWHILE, IRAN WARNED AGAINST. ANY NEW ATTACK BY THE UNITED. STATES AND AND ITS ALLIES SAYING. IT WOULD TRIGGER SUSTAINED. RETALIATION AGAINST U.S. BASES. AND INTERESTS. RICH? RICH: STEPHANIE BENNETT LIVE FOR. US. STEPHANIE, THANK YOU. WELL, A FORMER DSA INSIDER. SOUNDING THE ALARM AND CLAIMS. THE ORGANIZATION IS BECOMING. MORE RADICAL. PLUS, AS SOME DEMOCRATS BACK. AWAY FROM HASAN PIKER, THE.

CONTROVERSIAL STREAMER IS. REVEALING -- REVEALING WHO HE. WOULD HIT THE TRAIL FOR IF THEY. RAN IN 2028. WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN AND MUCH. MORE WITH OUR POLITICAL PANE.
