President Donald Trump's performance at the G-7 summit exposed a new reality where other world leaders are increasingly sidelining or ignoring the United States, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said in an interview on Wednesday.
"It was so sad to watch," he told Powerhouse Politics podcast hosts Rick Klein and MaryAlice Parks. "You know we are essentially a nuisance power today. These nations that we're sitting with at the G-7 are just trying to survive meeting with Donald Trump, making arrangements without us and around us. And it's catastrophic in the long run to U.S. national security interests."
