President Trump may have his own style, but he's standing up for American values, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told CNBC on Wednesday.

'I believe every president of the United States stands for our values and ultimately you being to see presidents react in that way,' Rice said.

She pointed to the Syrian chemical attack, and Trump's forceful response, both in words and military action.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said President Trump, like every president, 'stands for our values'

She also talked to CNBC about the Russia probe saying she has a 'lot of confidence' in Special Counsel Robert Mueller

'You heard President Trump say, for instance, after the Syrian chemical attack, we can't let that stand. What he was saying was the president of the United States can't let that stand,' Rice explained.

She noted that the 'language may be different' under the Trump administration, but 'Americans' interests in values are always linked.'

'It's early days in this administration,' she added. 'Let's remember that.'

She suggested that President Trump, who had never held elected office before winning the White House last November, would learn the 'value of democratic alliances' especially.

'You know, democracies are amazing, they don't attack their neighbors. They don't trade in child soldiers. They don't trade in human trafficking and the sex trade. They don't harbor terrorists,' she listed.

Pivoting the conversation to the Russia, Rice said that the Vladimir Putin-led country should be 'sadly' considered a 'hostile power' after what they did during the 2016 U.S. election cycle.

'Because we need a decent relationship with Russia,' she added, explaining her use of sad.

'But any interference in our election has to be investigated and not just investigated to see what happened, but to see how it doesn't happen again,' the ex-secretary of state said.

As for the most prominent Russia probe, the one being run by special counsel Robert Mueller, Rice said she had a 'lot of confidence' in the man.

'I know him well, he was the FBI director when I was the national security adviser and secretary of state,' she explained.

'This is someone who will go to where the truth leads him, and once we have that report we'll have more to act on, in the meantime we need to get about the business of governing because that's what the American people want,' she concluded.
