Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Trump's Attempt to Freeze All Federal Aid | Amanpour and Company

Governments around the world are bracing for how President Trump's decisions will affect them as he "floods the zone." In America, politicians and experts committed to constitutional democracy are scrambling to react as well. Trump's latest move -- an attempt to freeze all federal aid -- triggered chaos and confusion amongst educators, charities, and even Medicaid. As with many of Trump's actions, it is unclear whether he even had the executive authority to issue such an order. Today the order was abruptly rescinded. But what does this tell us about Trump's strategy? Chris Van Hollen, Democratic senator from Maryland, serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee. He joins Christiane from Washington to discuss.
