You're not alone in those concerns.

Have you seen this before in your time as vice president, the sale of this high technology, one of America's finest, to countries that maybe don't rise to the ranks of some of the other closer allies?

Well, Vice President, let's continue our tour around the world and talk there about China and the relationship, the deepening relationship, it seems, with not only Russia, but India as well.

Earlier this year, we had images of Vladimir Putin, Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping arm in arm at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

I was in Washington at the time, and they really caused shockwaves in terms of this axis that you are seeing on the other side of the ocean, on the other side of the Pacific.

Do you feel like those images...

as they were interpreted at the time, showed that the United States is losing its dominance on the world stage?

Well, Vice President, they're also being used as a mechanism not only to encourage free trade, but also to add pressure on countries like India, like Brazil, that are perhaps helping and fuel some feeling some of the goals in China and Russia as well, especially when it comes to the United States's relationship in defending or at least helping support the fight for or the war.

Ukrainian's efforts against the war from Russia.

Talk to us a little bit about that relationship and that dynamic when it comes to the European Union and the UK as well.

Historically, Europe and the United States have been arm in arm.

But when it has come to this conflict, at least in the second Trump administration, we do seem to be seeing wobbles in that steadfast defense.

Donald Trump has, on the campaign trail, and of course in this year, promised and assured the global community there would not only be a ceasefire, but a lasting agreement based on his friendship with Vladimir Putin.

Why has that not come to fruition in your minds?

Does America need Europe to hold Russia accountable?

Can America go at it alone?

That's the narrative that Donald Trump has taken when it comes to his negotiations at the Munich Security Conference, at NATO.

Can America do it alone?

All right, Vice President Mike Pence, we thank you so much for your time, a true tour around the world.
