America's new president baffles the world.

Hello again, I'm Aranalmi, and this is To the Point.

When it comes to foreign policy, the Trump administration is speaking with many voices.

In Europe last weekend, Vice President Pence and Defense Secretary Mattis had different messages.

Secretary of State Tillerson has said almost nothing at all. And nobody knows what President Trump knows,

or whether he'll set the U.S. in new and different directions with unexpected tweets or unscripted comments.

He's already had to replace one national security advisor with another

as the administration veers between traditional positions and radical change.

Later on today's talking point is the conservative movement, taking on a new look.

Hello again, Mormon, I'll be back with To The Poet. Since World War II, the U.S. has dominated the West and claimed to champion liberal democracy in the rest of the world.

But in the month since Donald Trump was inaugurated, American foreign policy

has changed? Or has it? We'll look for answers today. Today's talking point, the conservative

political action conference gets underway today. We'll hear how it's changed since the days of

Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley, and Ronald Reagan. First is news update. Refugees who come to the U.S.

from Africa and the Middle East are trekking through the snow for asylum in Canada. Yesterday,

Prime Minister Trudeau said the door will stay open, even to people who cross illegally,

because Canadians trust their immigration system. But that doesn't mean there are no political problems.
