when you do in ukraine is going to matter to xi jinping that argument will carry to those who perhaps don't want to do what we're doing for ukraine that is the first thing. second is we have to realize that some of these engagements will be hard to sustain over a long period of time. i don't know of any american president, whatever their name is, whatever that person s can sustain 60 billion packages to ukraine every 6 months. and so, what now can we do with ukraine to get to a place where ukraine has a defensible, reason to believe they are secure, independent and potentially prosperous, what does that look like. for a lot reasons we have been unwilling to talk about that, we can't until ukrainians are ready to talk about it what does that mean. at some point, the war, which vladimir putin, stabilized himself. 500,000 russians have died in this war. he is willing to sacrifice 500 thousand more if he has, to ukraine can't do that and so, what is the intermediate gain. that hard discussion about america's willingness to give security guarantees, there i am concerned about some of the e

i understand people focus on china but what you said about putin and xi jinping and north koreae andnians, we have to drive home that credibility is not divisible think it's an argument that will carry and they don't want to do that. we have to realize engagements over a long period of time, i don't care what his or her name is for whatever that person is the $60 billion package so whato can we do to place for ukraine has a reason to believe they are secured? what does it look like? for a lot of reasons we have been unwilling to talk about it, we can't but what does it mean? some time which fundamentally 500,000 in this war and he's buying 500,000 ukraine and do that so what is the intermediate game here to secure? that is going to be a hard discussion and i am concerned about the elements in the party in you will have to make the case you can't just say will china and do nothing about ukraine. internationalists and globalization and the integration of china and go to the places of life division, it has micro sites. they really do wonder why we do for we are doing. so we are probably

the irony is that it was xi jinping who agreed with us. that a richer china would be more free china. and that is what he set out to reverse in 2013. that's what hese spent the last decade aren doing. all of the steps he has taken, inside a china economically, and politically, have been to reverse things that were happening before he became the big man, in china. so my final comment would be sort looking ahead because back to something tonya said earlier. if there is one big thing come i think were not paying enough attention to as part of a strategy, it is her point about the fragility, the public support, in china, russia, iran and north korea for the first three in particular. and we have and i have my old cia had on here. we have neglected the kind of strategic communications programs that we had all through the cold war. directed at the east europeans and russians about what was really going on in their society in the 20s that even though in october programs the benefit we had was we didn't always have the truth and thank you it was t

president xi jinping terms the new chapter is a chapter of small and beautiful projects.every single cent that will flow into the continent will be well thought through and budgeted for. were also seeing china gearing away from the traditional projects they been doing and going toward renewable energy. anything they do on the continent will have greater benefit in china. tom: thank you very much indeed for that assessment of that speech from president xi jinping to african leaders. we will have more in this month's edition of africa amplified. ukraine's president makes his biggest cabinet reshuffle since russia's invasion. we bring you the details, next. ♪ tom: good morning, this is bloomberg "daybreak: europe." treasuries receive adult after soft u.s. jobs data supports the case for supersized rate cut by the fed. stocks trading water after tomorrow's key meeting on nonfarm payrolls. kamala harris rates with joe biden on tax rates. the u.s. democratic nominee says those earning a million dollars or more should pay 28% on capital gains. president zelenskyy is said to nomi

we think that she's xi jinping sits on his throne and directs the tentacles of china and sometimes we are narrow terrorizing the past in a way that -- we are narrating the past in a way. any other thoughts on this? >> you mentioned local government i interviewed a lot of bureaucrats [indiscernible] in union province also and my perspective is the bri itself is a contravention of extension of domestic economy. if you look into the lalit -- logic of the chinese development in china, this is like a clear extension of it that is one point. not to mention 1980's scholars in wuhan really operated the boat kind of bad toured europe so this is nothing new to be honest in chinese discourse and the other thing also mentions politics and particularly central europe, really for bri [indiscernible] among people in the government and we were really supportive, china is a good player, etc., but then disappointment and then came etc. but this is very difficult for the chinese political system, this is nothing new. how to certain degree manipulate and certain degree as i mentioned enthusiasm among chi

jinping. of course, this is completely within the rules of protocol, believe me, who... organized, at least for president kuchma, six state visits to those countries that i managed as the head of the asia -takian region of the near middle east and africa of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, that everything is absolutely agreed and everything is foreseen, of course xi jinping, as the head of a country that is a member, a member of brics, will come to kazan, and of course. for a bilateral meeting has also been arranged, where they will discuss all those issues that they consider necessary to be discussed, therefore there is no need to connect putin's statements to the vice president of the prc from payment problems, payments, or rather payment problems, they are, and they are right, that propagandist you mentioned that china is under pressure from the us so... is happening when biden signed the corresponding law that you can impose secondary sanctions against , means those financial in

well, there are such things, and in particular, including on... invited a meeting with xi jinping toproblems, in particular in bank payments and the construction of the power of siberia-2 gas pipeline, here is such information it is different, how does mr. igor correlate with this support of china, china, russia, and whether china is really starting to at least lobby and at least try. as they say, it is no longer wrong to directly support russia, to sit here on two chairs, please, let me start with the statement of the mass media that... against the background of these, so difficulties with payments, putin urgently invited a meeting with the sinping, this not so, forget about it, it is not, therefore, correct information, because it is implied that putin is in a conversation with the vice president of china, hanzhenim, said, taking into account the relevant norms of the protocol, that it would be good, because he was... he would be glad to see the head of the people's republic of china xijin pinh in kazan in a month and a half. of course, this is completely within the norms of the pr

so when xi jinping says sweet words. he has his softer moments with xi jinping.t when he meets the chancellor of germany is just a different narrative. we have to remember there are moments that i think serbia gets more from the relationship in china gets. or is given from serbia. this is another thing tode consider when it comes to the global south especially small countries. there are moments small countries are careful enough to use china and we have to be in mind in many developing countries china is only one option, what of the partnership. it's not zero gain. most buyers have a more quick question. we are taught but the central and east european countries. i also think thek discussion about polish relationships is really interesting. when i was kind of thinking, you mentioned the national interest. like leaning towards chinese cooperation. i also think it is interesting to note like in contrast with serbia how much does eu pressure play a part in polish relations with china? they have already more weary policies and views with china already. the eu wide, aw

they are now pushing xi jinping's productive forces., batteries, solar power, hey, hey, as you have seen, the biden regime has slapped tariffs on chinese e vvs into the unite states. so has the prime minister justin trudeau. you see china is trying to shift the structures in the economy and going to new productive forces, but still contained by the biden regime and justin trudeau. i'm still quite negative on the economy over the next three-to-six months. this mini stimulus is enough to get the economic markets going, but not enough to boom the economy. in order to get that running, we need to spur consumer confidence. we need to get the chinese consumer going out and spending again. they're not going to do that unless they refinance mortgages. they will save money. the only way they will spend again is if they see the income and bonuses rising and that's not happening right now. >> that brings me to my next question, really, which is understanding the outlook for the banking sector because the reports we're getting also this morning is

of course, xi jinping, as the head of a country that is a member, a member of brics, will come to kazan, and of course, for a bilateral meeting, where they will discuss all those issues that they believe should be discussed, so there is no need to to make a statement, it means that putin addressed the vice president of the people's republic of china with problems with payments, payments, or rather, problems with payments, they exist, and the right-wing propagandist you mentioned that china is under pressure from the united states and it is happening, ah, when biden signed the corresponding law that a can introduce secondary sanctions against , means those financial institutions that... violate the sanctions imposed on russia, it turns out that 98, imagine, 98% of these payment transactions, they do not work, chinese banks and financial structures are involved in the calculations, they do not accept the so-called dirty yuan from russia, it is certainly huge problem, but one more important one should be kept in mind. china considers this, and it just lies on the surface, which means that

his response to xi jinping's complains of all 350 impression of u.s. over countering people's liberation army aggression across the region. just when i thought it could get no worse, trump offered to mediate on the senkakus, claiming that china had a claim to be adjudicated. white house chief of staff, john kelly folded a note, he is our lunch, he cut trump wrote into our lap. is a great seeing it there are many great scenes in the book. hr. when you look at a possible second trump administration, what have we learned from the first one and who do you think there could be that could play the kind of, you know, harnessing of the disruptive nature of the president that you tried to play in the first administration? >> well, catty, it does matter, you know, who is around the president and we hope the president would appoint good people. i think there's a lot of good people-- >> you think you will? >> i think in confirmable positions? yes. i know there are some good people waiting to come to help any president. one of the things in the book, catty is, look

jinping to discuss russia's problems, in particular, in bank payments and gas construction.ia 2, but such information is received differently, mr. igor, how does this, mr. igor, correlate with this support of china, china, russia, and is china really now starting to at least lobby and at least try, as they say, to not directly support russia, to sit here on two chairs, be it please, let me start with... the claim of the mass media that amid these, so payment difficulties, putin urgently requested a meeting with xi jinping, that is not true, forget it, that is not, therefore, correct information, because it is implied that putin is in a conversation with the vice president of china, khanzhenim said, taking into account ... the relevant norms of the protocol, that it would be good, because he would be happy to see in kazan in a month and a half, the head of the prc piner. of course, this is completely within the rules of the protocol, believe me, who organized, at least for president kuchma, six state visits, those countries that i managed as the head of the administration, an

jinping talks about security and lots of african priorities in that speech which shows an evolution be more balanced than it was ten years ago. 0pec+ decides to delay its planned oil output increase for october and november. this comes after oil prices hit a nine—month low due to concerns about the weakening global economy and slow demand from china. the group, which includes opec members and allies led by russia, says they may further pause or roll back the hike if needed. the uk has set out new legislation to improve oversight of water companies. sewage spills hit a record high in 2023, with private companies being blamed for the pollution. thames water is the country's biggest supplier and has been criticised for racking up billions of dollars in debt. critics say stakes by foreign companies and sovereign wealth funds are part of the problem. leong ching was started utilities in asia and explained how that would work. what utility skis can be run by private companies or by the government but i think those on by sovereign wealth fund would be quite rare, but i don't want to say th

in 2017, xi jinping -- not from the democratic party. the progressive groups in korea. it is simply based on ideology. fear of being criticized or bullied by their colleagues. south korea must understand the situation and make objective decisions. let me stop there. >> thank you so much for both informing us and enriching our understanding about domestic politics and views. and reminding us that when you buy into alliances you buy into complex relationships. what our understanding is of these relations. there is not one view or even two views. it is a very important contribution to think about this. i want to turn to you and think more about the role the prime minister of the japan has played. several prime ministers of japan. what prime minister kishida has done picking up the baton. with incentives from united states pushing. how does this relationship look to you? >> thank you very much. good morning. actually, i am very grateful for your invitation. i was told the appointment was at 10:00 and we would be out of the building by 11:30 with a handshake and freshly brew

imagine her sitting down with xi jinping or the situation room making really difficult situations whengn policy experience won't take questions from reporters here in her own country. >> can she sit down with a world leader like xi jinping, like putin, like anybody, like anybody who basically isn't giving her the questions or at least her handlers aren't controlling the environment once again the chimes is critical as well. that will get the attention they haven't endorsed a candidate on the republican side since 1956. what did you know about joe biden's mental decline and what did you know it. you have want to tax unrealized capital gains. most people think that will tank the stock market. >> you can't do that you can't do that why do you think you can do something like that. chanting down, down with deportations on tape as a senator. do you want to end deportations? hey what does fracking mean? what does holistic mean. can you ask questions of her if she isn't scripted for the answer, again, it's clean up on aisle five. >> there is hope that the blue waffle the media has broken. you

i spent an awful lot of time with xi jinping.ore than any other world leader has i spent over 90 hours alone with him, literally traveled 17,000 miles with him. i was on the himalayan plateau with him and he asked me, he said, can you define america for me? not a joke. some of you have heard this. it's true. i said, i said yes, one word. he looked at me through an inert. -- an interpreter. he said, what's the word? i said, possibilities. everything is possible in america, everything is possible in america. it's also the one word that defines hispanic possibilities, heritage possibilities. because you've never, i've never been more optimistic about the future. remember who the hell we are? i really mean it, we're the united states of america. we're the only nation in the world that's come through every crisis stronger than we entered that crisis every single time when we move together, folks. i mean this from the bottom of my heart, i am more optimistic about the future of america. than i've ever been in the world before. we have

xi jinping suggested stimulus program and serious internal conflict because china's pension fund is flat broke and they try to raise the retirement age. you don't hear much about it but china is hardly a pillar of strength. as for iran they are in disarray. their economies in shambles, they spend their money fighting endless wars and their leaders know that israel can take out anybody at any time. it is worth pointing out our rivals don't want to see a second trump presidency. making america great again is the last thing on their minds. if it is trump 47, russia, china won't look so strong and we won't look so weak. second hour of varney just getting started. look who is here. we brought him into new york city of all places, steve hilton in california. do you think our foreign adversaries are concerned about second trump presidency? >> that was rather brilliant the way you laid that out. very important reminder. stuart: having barneson next to me. >> every aspect of that was right. the china -- wasn't that long ago people were talking about this being a china dominated century. the autho

jinping, create favour with putin as well is xijinping, so create favour with putin as well is xi jinpingwe have to be much more realistic and not try to placate them with these half measures and really counter them,. with the news today, they're trying to socialise a bunch of the messaging about israel which we know is larger anti—israel and anti—semitic messaging that they have threatened the police. they're trying to socialise much of that with their patrons trying to get the chinese to call for the cease—fire using the same language as the iranians and trying to get the russians to be more divided from the israelis, particularly in some places like syria and they have felt this far but they're hoping to change that. in general, they're looking to take advantage of the past 11 months of the middle east mayhem, particularly as we go to the october seven anniversary invited to take a step back, unfortunately the islamic republic has been winning in the middle east is been winning with great power cover but due to missteps by washington and other actors in the region and they have been ab

in his speech, chinese president xi jinping announced the allocation of 51 billion dollars in the next3 years for investment in africa. before the conversation, we see a report. china's red carpet under the feet of african leaders. the heads of 53 countries arrived in beijing from the continent of opportunity. on the banner it is written here that china and the african continent are united for a better future. china's biggest diplomatic event in recent years. the chinese president says to seek to improve international management. strengthening cooperation between china and africa. the chinese foreign minister has also spoken about the emergence of the global south on behalf of china and africa, which will affect the history of the world. the head of the industrial and commercial bank of china also says: china is looking for a win-win game in africa. we will allocate resources to support key sectors in africa. this will increase financial investments in the field. significant investments beijing to build countless infrastructures and send hundreds of thousands of workers and engineers t

if ukraine is loses, i don't want to be the person who watches vladimir putin and xi jinping on their the people who say we have spent a lot of money there, as you mentioned gotten the weapons that ukraine has asked for over there. but that the onus should be on europe in their territory. for those people, what do you say to them? >> well, i fully agree that our allies need to do more. all over the world. and the europeans are finally really stepping up in important ways. i do think by the way it's remarkable and probably not what putin had in mind that we have sweden and finland now in the alliance who have real military capability. yes, 9 alliance should do more. it doesn't let us off the hook to do the things that we need to do. >> bret: i sad down with you a number of times at the state department, talking about the issues of the day. we talked a lot about iraq. >> it's impossible to imagine a different kind of middle east with saddam hussein at the middle of it. >> bret: the middle east has changed. >> what happened on october 7th to israel was an act of barbarity and sophisticat

today, on the occasion of north korea's birthday, the chinese president, xi jinping and the president of russia, vladimir putin, sent warm congratulations to north korea. warm congratulations to kim jong-un, praising his dictatorship, promising closinga relations and cooperation in the future. and at some level, maybe the birthday card from china and russia for north korea makes d sense. i mean, both china and russia do border north korea, all three of those countries are dictatorships of one kind or another.ip but china and russia are kind of in different boats, right? russia used to be communist, briefly tried on the idea of being a democracy, now under vladimir putin it's devolved into a variety of fascist ut dictatorship. russia waging the largest land grab since world war ii. china is still communist. china is also huge, both population wise and in terms of its economic and geopolitical influence. china, of course, is the other global superpower besides the united states. yeah, these are three dictatorships, two sending a birthday card to the third. why are these two big swaggery

our entire military is focused on china and xi jinping is very focused on taiwan and the first islandnce together and execute a real u.s. military buildup with our allies so there's never a good day for xi jinping to fight a war against america. we have to get serious and fast. cheryl: jonathan dt were, great to have you on this topic, thank you very much for being here. a lot more coming up, where you can score the most expensive martini in the country, anybody need a martini after this week? just wondering just throwing it out there, this is crazy we will have the details on this coming up next. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪(voya)♪ there are some things that work better together. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing. so you can feel confident in your financial choices voya, well planned, well invested, well protected. most people call leaffilter when their gutters are clogged and they notice one of the many issues that can bring. sometimes it

xi jinping could go after foreign companies, even harder than he has been, and right now we know that closing the chinese market to domestic chinese private entrepreneurs because he's moving back to a state model. there's so many things that xi jinping can do right now and he has a lot of incentive to do it because he's under pressure from other senior communist party officials and if he lashes out that means that is able to prevent his competitors at the top of the party from deposing him. so right now, all is on the line for china's very arrogant and bellicose leader. cheryl: you brought this up earlier. i want to circle back to this issue of chips. nvidia's most powerful a.i. chips are flooding the chinese market despite the ban from the us. the financial times found several companies granting access to advanced processors, renting them for cheaper than here in the curates. they're advertised for sale on alibaba. more than 100,000 high end nvidia chips have been smuggled into the chinese black market. had this completely undercuts any muscle that the u.s. has shown against china wh

[laughter] i watched while jill, my wife, went to the olympics. guess what, i was supposed to be introducing. i had the inauguration of the president of mexico, a fine woman, i'm seeing her shortly. but i'm staying here in meeting you guys. she is in mexico. she was able to say hi to many of you this morning. "where were you this morning, i was looking for you?" " i'm saying hello to the olympians." she led the u.s. delegation to paris. all she did when she came back home, i mean this from the bottom of my heart, was talk about

congress will tell xi jinping this far and no further i again want to applaud speaker johnson and house leadership for bringing these bills to the floor and making china weak a reality. i will turn it now to chairman mccaul. >> i want to thank speaker johnson as well particularly for inviting the gold star families today to -- for a presentation of the congressional gold medal on behalf of children who were blasted by suicide bomber that came out from bagram prison and didn't have to happen but i want to thank you, sir, for honoring sacrifice and their families who i was with last night. we've worked in i'd say 3 years, really two, the first year the democrats were in power and we did absolutely nothing to investigate the events of afghanistan and what happened that day through the evacuation. after most comprehensive investigation with the witnesses, the documents, it's a historic document, it's not a political document, it's very historic as federal prosecutor my lead investigator we wrote this and before you criticize it, read it. everything is built on facts and evidence and we made

trump heaped praise on chinese leader xi jinping my feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one, as we said, there's great chemistry he used tariffs to launch a trade war with china in 2018. china is been taken advantage of the united states for many years those tariffs were paid by americans, paid by american companies and ultimately by american consumers. the trump trade war probably cost americans about 300,000 jobs. probably cost the economy somewhere north of 40 billion. >> i think it's worth bearing in mind the president biden kept some of these tariffs in place, but i think that there are reasons why economists have concerns about continuing down that path on a greater scale. yeah trump insists that if he's elected president again, he would quote, fundamentally reevaluate nato's purpose if they're not going to pay, we're not going to protect. >> okay. >> i don't think trump will walk away from nato i think it as a bargaining chip, i think it's a position of strength and negotiate from but if russia attacked us allies who don't spend enough on military defense, i would encoura

the democratic republic of congo, and about the development of cooperation. talked in these meetings, xi jinping emphasized that beijing will open the doors of cooperation to african countries more than before. according to the data published by the general administration of customs of china, this country's trade with africa this year 5. tenth percent it has increased to about 16 billion us dollars . heavy rain and flooding in saudi arabia local sources in saudi arabia announced that heavy rain caused water accumulation and flooding in some areas, as well as blocked streets, especially in jeddah. according to the decision of the authorities in saudi arabia, schools in all grades in the city of jeddah. it was closed. scientists warn about the accumulation of plastic particles in the human brain. based on the results of a study by researchers at the university of new mexico, which was published by hill magazine. the amount of microplastics and nanoplastics in the human body has increased by 50% compared to 2016. this study adds that half percent of the human brain is made of polyethylene p

plan, but it's frankly outrageous, and i suspect if president trump were president, he be talking to xi-jinpingand get with iran. the biden team i think, what they want with china they say is stabilization. no surprises. they are trying to head off a possible war over taiwan or the south china sea so the biden people including vice president harris would just ignore this and say don't worry about it. so he shows you the contrast between trump and vice president harris especially on foreign policy in general. liz: in fact what we did is went on both of their sites and looked into their policies and just so our viewers can get sort of a picture of exactly what both sides want to do. harris has said she would stand up for american interests in the face of china's threats, invest in american workers innovation industry, ensure america remains a leader in the industries of the future, and stand up to china's unfair economic practices. doesn't exactly articulate how she would do that. how would you advise anybody to stand up to those unfair practice ms. spears >> well the term stand up is i think del
