PROBLEM: Washington (CNN) Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday that President Donald Trump "speaks for himself" when asked whether the President's response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, raised questions about Trump's values. The brief remark from the top Cabinet official appeared to be the latest subtle sign of a gap between Tillerson, a former globe-trotting oil executive, and the freewheeling President, who ran a campaign in large part against how the US interacts with pillars of the international community. It also points to a distance between Trump and some of his team on Charlottesville. Tillerson said on "Fox News Sunday" that the United States was committed to freedom and "equal treatment of people the world over" when posed the question by anchor Chris Wallace.Tillerson pointed to his own comments condemning racismFor months, reports have indicated Tillerson's frustrations in the top diplomatic post

PROBLEM: Ottawa, Canada (CNN) What's going on with Justin Trudeau? Since his surprising election last October, Trudeau has enjoyed soaring popularity as the young, hip, progressive Prime Minister of Canada. Blessed with charm, good looks, a name and a photogenic family, he has become an overnight international celebrity. Promising "sunny ways" after a decade of the divisive politics of Stephen Harper and his Conservatives, Trudeau and his Liberals have proclaimed a new tone of civility in Parliament in their seven months in office. But all that dissolved on the floor of the House of Commons Wednesday in a fracas both unseemly and unprecedented. At the center was a less saintly Trudeau: petulant, impatient and later, embarrassed and "unreservedly" apologetic.Andrew Cohen: Canadian Prime Minister involved in a parliament fracas that has some questioning his maturity for jobCohen: He apologized, but popular PM has lost his shine; has learned early lesson on governing, discipline, the scrutiny of celebrity

PROBLEM: (CNN) The cavalry is coming! Not exactly, but the sentiment of reassurance is the same. This week, US Defense Secretary James Mattis arrives in Asia to visit South Korea and Japan. Two stalwart US allies, policymakers in both capitals have nevertheless been shaken by statements Donald Trump made while campaigning for President. None of these was more dramatic than the suggestion that these allies should pay more for US troops or risk having these forces withdrawn. Statements like this played to the worst fears in Seoul and Tokyo that the United States might no longer be a committed ally. It is now Mattis' job to reassure them of US commitments and return the trajectory of alliance relations back to pre-2016 presidential campaign rhetoric.Jeffrey Hornung: Japan, South Korea were shaken by statements Donald Trump made while campaigningWashington's alliances with Seoul and Tokyo will be critical in managing challenges posed by China and North Korea, he says
