happens next very much will be jessica. and right now he is trying to lay out his vision again, staying very close to those issues that are most important to canadians. but right now, top of mind for canadians is that trade war that so many are fearful will turn into something so much more. given what donald trump has said himself in terms of the fact that he wants to try and break the canadian economy. let's listen in now, as mark carney is still delivering those remarks to the party faithful here in ottawa. >> danger across. >> the world and he will. >> also allow our planet to burn. pierre poilievre would. let our. >> planet burn. >> this is not leadership. it's ideology. it's ideology that betrays. >> what. >> we as. canadians value each other.

>> it's an. >> ideology that also. >> represents a. >> fundamental misunderstanding. >> of how the economy. >> works. >> now. >> unlike pierre poilievre. >> i've actually worked. >> in the private. >> sector. >> i know., i know, i know, i know how the world works. >> and i know how it can be made. >> to. work better. >> for all of us. >> and that. >> and that. >> knowledge. >> that knowledge is. >> especially useful now. >> in. >> the service of canadians when we must. >> build a new economy. and create new trading relationships let me tell. >> you something else that we know that pierre poilievre. >> doesn't. >> we know that. markets don't have values. >> people do. >> and we know, we. >> know as.

>> liberals that it's. >> our job. >> our job. >> to make markets, to make the economy work for all. >> canadians. >> these are the. >> most powerful tool we've ever invented. they can find solutions to. our greatest problems. and when the private sector, when the markets are governed well, they deliver great jobs and stronger growth faster than anything. but markets. >> are also. >> indifferent to human suffering, and they are blind to our greatest needs. so when they're not governed well or not at all, they will deliver enormous wealth for the lucky few and hard times for the rest. >> and that was mark carney there, jessica putting forward, which was what will really be a very progressive agenda. i do want to just let everyone in on what will happen next. we call mark carney, now the prime minister designate, within about 3 to 5 days. justin trudeau will

officially tell the governor general of canada that he will no longer serve as prime minister. mark carney will be sworn in as prime minister. he will call. he will appoint a cabinet. but here's the thing, jessica. he could also then trigger an election. and in terms of what people believe, that election could happen as soon as a few days from now, a few weeks from now, which would put canada in election position towards the end of april, perhaps early may, at stake. i don't have to remind you, are the threats from donald trump on tariffs and so much more. remember the man we're looking at right now, mark carney, is absolutely a political novice. certainly he is known in the halls of power around the world. he was the former governor of the bank of canada and the bank of england, a former goldman sachs banker as well. he knows ted fair, and fed chair jerome powell quite well. but he's just such a political novice, jessica. and there are so many

people wondering how he will do in a campaign. he was talking about conservative leader pierre poilievre there, who was so far ahead of the liberals up until donald trump was inaugurated. in fact, one poll showed that there was less than a 1% chance that the liberal party would win an election on the day that donald trump was elected. the chances now are 37% still not great. the liberal party is still far behind the conservatives, but certainly they have a shot in this. and this is where things get interesting. pierre poilievre really has been taken on by the maga group. they have certainly posted a lot of what he's been doing in his campaigns, so it will be very interesting now to see how donald trump reacts, and also to see any congratulations that we might get from the oval office. and keep in mind, jessica, this is going to be quite the fancy footwork for someone who is a political novice, even though he's obviously a very well trained economist who has to deal with running for prime minister, he's never run for anything except for this liberal

leadership race. now he has to run for prime minister simultaneously trying to deal with all of these threats coming from the trump administration. >> yes, this will be fascinating to watch. paula newton, thank you so much for laying all of that out for us. really appreciate it. back here in the u.s., president trump is not ruling out the possibility of a recession this year. this week, trump announced tariffs on mexico and canada, then delayed them for about a month. and he seems to be admitting what a lot of economists have said that tariffs could, in his words, cause some disturbance in the economy. mary ann davies and joe donahue join us now. they are both from a swing county. bucks county, pennsylvania. last year, trump became the first republican to win that county in more than 30 years. it's right there outside of philadelphia, one of the collar counties outside of philadelphia. i want to say thank you to both of you for being here with us. i really appreciate it. we're excited to hear what you have to say, what you're thinking. i just want to kind of set the stage. you both voted for donald trump this past election. you each have your own

reasons for doing so. joe, let's start first with you. i know for you, the economy was a big factor in your decision. so i'm curious how you're feeling about the economy now and what you're thinking about. these potential tariffs. >> yeah. >> well jessica, thank you so much for the invitation to come on. certainly the economy is top of mind for myself and. >> many americans. >> i think that the economy. is going to be i know it's been taking a little bit of a downturn in the stock market over the course of the last several days. but i do think on the whole, it does have an upward trajectory for us. i think personally, i do see some concern with the tariffs. i know tariffs have an inflationary element. to them. and so much of the economy is interconnected. but ultimately. it is i think that this is going to be beneficial to the american economy because it's going to encourage more manufacturers to keep jobs here in the united

states, which ultimately will. >> at. >> the end of the day drive down some prices, in my opinion. >> and, marianne, what are your thoughts on on the economic health of the country where president trump is taking it? what do you think? >> well. >> first of all, we have to remember that he's been in. >> office for. >> about 40 days. given his track. >> record when he was. >> elected the first time, our economy was roaring. >> we were. >> energy independent. >> he made everyone's 401 s great again.. >> and now. >> with with. >> the. >> tariff situation. >> i mean, he's a very smart businessman. he has incredible advisors. scott bessent and, others like that. and i believe that the tariffs are really just a tool. >> that. >> may be only temporary. they're powerful and proven source of leverage for protecting our economic interests. >> and in. >> fact, during his speech, he announced some. incredible investment from, apple and taiwan chip manufacturers. we're

talking about billions and billions and even trillions of dollars. >> i believe. >> that india even committed to investing unprecedented amounts of money in some technologies here in the united states. so i truly believe that that would never have happened. >> if. >> they don't have confidence in what donald trump is planning for our economy. >> and, marianne, i want to stay with you for a second on another issue. i know you have a strong family connection to the to the military. there is concern about the trump administration that these cuts are going to really be hitting a lot of veterans. and the employees at the department of veterans affairs services for veterans, also veterans who may be working in the federal government. i want to just get your thoughts on on what you're thinking about this. and if you're concerned. >> well. >> i did hear and listen to what doug collins, the new secretary of the veterans administration, has said. he has put out some

very every time you hear him speak, he is all about getting the veterans administration, size right sized to provide better benefits. and more responsive to direct services for veterans. he talked about more direct access to health care, where they can just go to any doctor like everybody else and use the va benefits, and also the responsiveness of the veterans administration for claims. so i have confidence in what doug collins, who also is a veteran, is doing for the department and will benefit directly. the veterans. >> joe, what are your thoughts on that? >> yeah, i. definitely have some, a number of family members who have served and who are serving and certainly the the cuts to the va concern me a little bit. in terms of it feels like it's shooting from the

hip. sometimes when you have to make efficiency cuts, when you have to find places to do a reduction in the workforce, staff, those, those things hurt quite a bit. and it can be difficult to pare back the federal government staff. so definitely the, the seemingly haphazardness that it can that it can cause there definitely concerns me as well as we always want to make sure that we're approaching these kinds of very sensitive situations in a way that's going to be conducive to the to the, individual person. we want to make sure that we're being respectful of the fact of the people whose lives are being impacted by these decisions. so i do have concerns surrounding it. are these cuts necessary? they they seem to be in some respects, and certainly we do have to, we do have to be mindful of that. but i i do think that that we do want to make sure that we're respecting the people who are involved in these cuts and whose livelihoods

are being upended by that. >> and, joe, i know you said earlier this week you all were watching the just to fill everybody else in. that's watching with us. now you all are watching president trump's address to congress, and you were giving your feedback as as trump voters, what you thought about it. and so, joe, on that note, i know you said earlier this week that trump you think trump should do more with democrats, try to reach across the aisle and be bipartisan. what ways would you like to see him do this? >> well, i think back to one of the earliest conversations that president obama and leaders of congress at that time were were having and those individuals really thought about having conversations surrounding an infrastructure plan, making sure that we're reinvesting in america and in infrastructure. that's usually a really good way to unite americans across

the aisle. especially just because of how important infrastructure can be to people. so i would like to see him maybe do a little bit more of that. and i think that that could be something that people could get behind. the democrats did show multiple times during the speech that they were going to be very reticent. and i'm that's a wild understatement, in my opinion. to, to do any kind of working across the aisle themselves. but sometimes, as the president, you need to take initiative and you need to be the one that's going to say, hey, let's let's come to the table, let's sit down. let's have some discussions surrounding that. >> and, mary ann, what are your thoughts on, on, on. do you want to see more bipartisan work coming out of dc. >> that that would be wonderful. i think that looking at the panel and what the things we discussed, even off camera, i think we all agree that the economy was very important. we all agreed on basic safety, the issues regarding the safety of our border. and i think there is a lot to reach out. i mean, who

is against you know, going through, you know, and cutting out waste, fraud and abuse? i don't think anyone is against that. but we should be working together. i think that also an example of that is recently. a representative, alejandro. ocasio-cortez. and i believe it's paulina luna are working on a bill to cut the interest rates for credit cards down to 10%. now, that certainly everybody can agree that's a really good thing. so there's, there's i think there's probably more that we can agree on to help our economy, to help our national security, cost of living for americans than we disagree upon. >> yeah. and, joe, just finally, i want to ask you about the role elon musk is playing in this administration and how you would evaluate that. >> yeah, it's kind of hard to evaluate that at this point because it's still very early on in the administration. jessica,

i think that, we do need to see ultimately, we need to take a longer view of what is happening. it does seem to be very haphazard. but i do think that some of what's being affected is necessary. but at the same time, again, it's just too soon, in my opinion, to do a formal like evaluation of somebody who a is is still very early on in the tenure and b really can only work a handful of days out of the year. the, the government, he's what's called a special government employee which really only requires him to or requires him to work a maximum of something like 135 days. over the course of the year, i forget what the exact number is, but i think any damage that he might do as it relates to doge is limited at this particular juncture, just

because of how short he's going to be in there. so it really what decisions he's making now really need to be evaluated as we see how the government is operating in a longer term. >> all right. marianne davies and joe donahue, really thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. we really appreciate it. >> thank you for having us. >> still ahead, israel cutting the power supply to gaza, hoping to pressure hamas to free the remaining hostages. what hamas is saying about who they're willing to release as negotiations to end the war enter a new phase. plus, a university of pittsburgh student missing in the dominican republic. what we're hearing from her father tonight. and a small plane crash in pennsylvania. we'll update you on what we know about the people on board. you're in the cnn newsroom. >> twitter. >> that's a great name. >> reinvented a. >> whole new. >> thing. >> no one could possibly have understood where it was going.

reach. >> i think something could come together within weeks. i will say that i believe there is enough there to make a deal between what hamas wants and what they've accepted and what israel wants, and it's accepted. and i think it i think there is a deal where they can get all of the prisoners out, not just the americans. >> joining us now, cnn political and national security analyst david sanger. david, great to see you. do you think that assessment is correct? can the u.s. achieve a deal between israel and hamas? >> well, great. >> great to see you. and let's hope. >> that, in fact. >> they can. predictions in the. past that they could have been largely dashed. but at this point. all but 59 hostages. >> have. >> been released. >> so. >> you know, when you consider the fact that we started. >> at. >> you know, over 200, that is significant progress, although it has taken more than a year and a half to.

>> to get there. >> this is going to be a challenge on several fronts. the first is first to the american hostages. there are five known, but only one believed living. and my suspicion is that hamas, based. >> on their. >> statements, will probably release him. the second big issue then is do you go to the phase two that was negotiated at the very end of the biden administration as part of this sort of three part series, or do they stumble along to some discussion about prisoner releases? that doesn't really come to some kind of a resolution of who controls gaza, whether hamas would give up the civilian control, whether all of its military would leave. and hamas so far has said they will not. >> and, of course, we know now that the u.s. has been directly speaking with hamas. do you

think that that leads to a different outcome than if they were not directly speaking with them? >> well, in and the israelis were pretty infuriated, in part because the u.s., while they had hinted at this, did not tell the israelis that they were going ahead with direct contacts with hamas. as far as we can tell. and there were some pretty sharp exchanges behind the scenes. but you haven't heard, prime minister, the prime minister, bibi netanyahu, come out and. denounce president trump for doing this. it tells you that he understands he's got some limits here about how far he can push trump on this issue himself. >> mm-hmm. and yet and in the meantime, israel obviously trying to put more pressure on hamas. we were just talking about the cutting of power, the cutting of water. how far do you

think that can go? >> well, right now the power cut is probably not likely to have much effect. as you heard from hamas. that's because there have been a lot of other restrictions put in place, and most of the power in in gaza right now is from electric generators that are local or solar power. and of course, so much of the infrastructure has been destroyed that you don't know how much of that electricity would get through, even if the israelis, you know, had full power on it does have some risk for the israelis. i mean, cutting off power, cutting off water can be considered under some circumstances to be part of a pattern of. humanitarian violations. and, of course, the israelis are already, you know, fighting those accusations in international criminal courts. at this moment. so it strikes me as somewhat something of a risky

tactic, given the fact that they're not going to get very much out of it. >> i also do want to talk to you about the war in ukraine. we know that, that we are entering this key week of negotiations in saudi arabia. we know putin and russia are escalating attacks on ukraine just within the last couple of days. where do you what are you expecting to unfold this week? >> well, at this point, the united states and russia seem to be aligned in putting huge pressure on ukraine. the russians, by stepping up these attacks, you heard president trump say from the oval office the other day that he thought anyone would do this under these circumstances. well, these are attacks on civilian sites. and, you know, speaking of potential war crimes in ordinary circumstances might qualify in that regard, though you could probably say that about attacks

going in the other direction at at russian civilian sites from. ukraine. the the moment may be ripe for a temporary cease fire of some kind. the what we don't know is what the u.s. proposals that they will arrive in saudi arabia will look like, and whether or not there will be any kind of security arrangements for the ukrainians, because president zelenskyy's biggest fear is that there's a pause that the russians use it to rebuild and rearm. and then when the american attention has moved on, russia then turns around and seizes or attempts to seize the rest of ukraine. on the other hand, both sides were exhausted. and as you know, casualties are sky high on both sides, particularly the russian side. >> yeah. all right. david sanger, thank you for that analysis. we really do

appreciate it. >> thank you. >> yeah. still ahead, homeland security secretary kristi noem taking a zero tolerance approach to any employees who may be leaking to the media. a new report explains just how far she's been willing to go to stop those leaks. you're in the cnn. >> newsroom. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? new saturday on. >> cnn. >> aveeno introduces new daily moisturizing cream. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 48 hours and instantly strengthens skin's barrier for softer, smoother skin. aveeno. the power of oat for sensitive skin. >> want the fastest working glp one for half. >> the price? >> roh now offers fda approved weight loss injections. cheaper with results. >> you can. see faster. >> lose 15% of your weight with the formula from eli lilly. it hits not one, but two hormones to curb hunger with less nausea.

officials a door on the plane was open moments before that crash. the faa is now investigating. new tonight homeland security secretary kristi noem saying her agency will continue to use polygraph tests on dhs employees. this after reports this week her department was using them to find out who might be leaking sensitive information to the media. that's even though most states do not allow them in a criminal trial, because they are not considered reliable. cnn's julia benbrook is joining us now. julia, what more are you learning about this? >> well, jessica, reporting from bloomberg government showed that the department of homeland security secretary kristi noem issued an internal directive that all polygraphs that her department administers must include a question about unauthorized communications with media and nonprofit organizations. this memo was described to bloom authorized to speak publicly. noem appeared on face the nation this morning, and when pressed by cbs's margaret brennan about

whether she would continue polygraphing noem responded, absolutely. >> you're going to continue these. >> polygraphing of employees. the authorities that i have under the department of homeland security are broad and extensive, and i plan to use every single one of them to make sure that we're following the law, that we are following the procedures in place to keep people safe, and that we're making sure we're following through. on what president trump has promised that he is going to make america safe again. >> when it comes to polygraph tests and questions about providing information to those not authorized to receive it. dhs is matching what much of the intelligence community already does. in a post on social media friday, noem said, quote, we have identified criminal leakers with dhs and are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the justice department for felony prosecutions. these individuals face up to ten years in federal prison. we will find and root out all leakers. they will face prison time, and we will get

justice for the american people. jessica. >> all right. julia benbrook with the latest on that. thank you very much. the consequences of president trump slashing usaid overseas is hitting home for many american farmers. they are suffering from the consequences of the funding freeze. cnn's shimon prokupecz went to the heartland to talk with farmers anxious about this uncertainty. >> reporter. >> you asked me why i do it. what we feed people, and that's a good. >> feeling. >> what i produce here, i stand behind my crop. i don't produce anything on my farm that i wouldn't eat. matter of fact, i assure you i choose some soybeans for when it tastes good. i'm going right here on my farm. >> what does it. >> taste like? >> it tastes like a mcdonald's hamburger. >> no. >> yeah. >> that's what's in. >> them. >> john boyd junior is a. >> fourth generation farmer. >> he grows wheat, corn and soybeans here on his thousand

acre farm in southern virginia. he also founded the national black farmers association. and he's no fan of president donald trump. >> the president cast a net of uncertainty every time he makes one of these wild announcements that he people are saying, yeah. tariffs and china tariffs to mexico, terrorists to canada. usaid. it's over. it's done. every time he makes those type of drastic announcements, he affects america's farmers. >> within days of taking office, president trump dismantled usaid, a humanitarian program that's been a lif and a critical source of income for u.s. farmers, paying. them hundreds of millions of dollars a year for their crops. he also froze some funding for farmers and rattled trade markets. >> we take it totally, totally for granted. and what we're doing in this country right now, we're gambling with all that.

control. they've lost their minds. >> mr. president. >> are you alarmed by. >> escalatory rhetoric from the chinese. response to your tariffs? and are you planning. >> to meet with xi jinping about trade. >> anytime soon? >> no. they took that rhetoric back. as you know, they were very tough. and i said, whoa, what's that all about? that rhetoric was taken back. you know that, right? >> my question. >> to you is, i mean, but if you know that, why would you ask that question? >> are you planning. >> to meet with. >> xi jinping anytime? >> yeah. at some point i will. i have a very good relationship with president xi. very good. and at some point i'll be meeting with him. >> so do you think there's. >> going to be a deal. >> on tiktok soon? >> there could be. we're dealing with four different groups and a lot of people want it. and it's up to me. so there could be. >> who are. >> you leaning towards? >> all four are good. >> i've said there's no feud between your cabinet members. and elon. musk even had dinner with him last night. >> the secretary revealed. >> however, tensions. >> are high. >> between your cabinet and mr. musk. >> how are you going to simmer

down tensions? does mr. musk need to back off? >> well, i don't think the tensions are high. look, elon's a very special person and these cabinet people are special people. you know, these are very successful people or they wouldn't have gotten you know, they've attained the highest heights of government and they i think they have fantastic relationship to elon. and doge has been incredible. you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud and abuse has been found, already found. and that doesn't mean they don't have a little bit of an argument here and there about something. or maybe personnel arguments. there's not too many contract arguments. you know, contracts have been found. this is much more than just personnel. and we found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraudulent contracts or very wasteful. but i think fraud i think it's fraud. >> there was just another. >> plane crash. and i think i actually think i actually think they i think really the cabinet for the most part, i think they get along really well with elon. >> there was just. >> another plane crash in

pennsylvania today. secretary duffy's big concern. >> is his department is. >> being gutted. he's been, you know, dealing with these crashes ever since he was sworn in. does he have a legitimate concern? >> well, that has nothing to do with the department that has. it was a small plane and that would have happened whether you had a big department or a small department, as you understand. it's just they're in a they have space like this, you know, they have times when things happen a little bit more often than normal. and then it goes back and you go many years without having a problem. i'll tell you, i think the southwest pilot did a fantastic job last week when he lifted that plane off the air, because if he put the brakes on, that wouldn't have been good. and i think the license should be maybe revoked for the plane that got in away from the pilot, revoked for the plane that got in its way. but the way he immediately stepped in the gas and lifted up, as opposed to, you know, thinking for about three seconds when it would have been too late. the southwest pilot or pilots were. they did a great job. >> russia. >> china and iran.

>> are doing military exercises together. does that concern you? >> no, not at all. not at all. >> why not? >> because we're stronger than all of them. we have more power than all of them. i rebuilt the military. unfortunately, biden did nothing with it. but i rebuilt the military. but we don't want to even talk about that. i think if you look at what's happening and if you see what we've done, and if you see where we've come and let's see what happens with the whole russia ukraine thing, i think you're going to have eventually, and maybe not in the distant future. you're going to have some pretty good results coming out of saudi arabia this week. >> are you going to resume aid to ukraine if. >> they sign the. >> minerals deal. >> with you? >> well, i think they will sign the minerals deal, but we want them to i want them to want peace right now. >> how do they show that? >> well, right now they haven't shown it to the extent that they should. i think right now they haven't. but i think they will be. and i think it's going to become evident over the next 2 or 3 days. i think eventually, look, we have to have peace. and i'm doing this. money is one

thing we're going to lose what we spent $350 billion on this. but the big thing. human life, thousands of people this week, thousands of young soldiers died. this week, hundreds of people died in cities in ukraine. and we got to get it stopped. it would have never happened if i was president and it didn't happen. this was not going to happen. by the way, october 7th wouldn't have happened. inflation wouldn't have happened. the afghanistan the way they not that they left, but the way that they left. it looks so bad. probably the most embarrassing day in the history of our country. that wouldn't have happened. a lot of things wouldn't have happened, but it is what it is. i think we're going to have a good time. i think we're going to have a good result in saudi arabia, meaning they're hosting the various talks and we have a lot of good people going out there. and i think ukraine's going to do well, and i think russia is going to do well. i think some very big things could happen

this week. i hope so. so 2000 people, at least 2000 young soldiers have died this week. and this is almost on a constant basis. a couple of thousand soldiers a week. it's a killing field. and we got to stop it. and if i can stop it, i'll be very happy. >> would you would you consider consider lifting the intel pause on ukraine. what does. >> ukraine have? well, we just about have i mean, we really just about have and we want to do anything we can to get ukraine to be serious about getting something done. you know, i say they don't have the cards. nobody really has the cards. russia doesn't have the cards. they don't have. what you have to do is you have to make a deal and you have to stop the killing. it's a senseless war and we're going to get it stopped. >> you have. >> to maria bartiromo. >> where are we? are we just about. we're just about ready to land. >> are you worried about. >> a recession? >> maria bartiromo asked. >> you, and.

>> you kind of hesitated. >> i'll tell you what. of course you hesitate. who knows? all i know is this. we're going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we're going to become so rich. you're not going to know where to spend all that money. i'm telling you, you just watch. we're going to have jobs. we're going to have open factories. it's going to be great. and the plane is landing and we got to go. thank you for a lot of good questions. okay. thank you very much, everybody. >> thank you. thank you president. >> and that was president donald trump aboard air force one just a few moments ago. there again saying that he can't say that there won't be a recession, but repeating his claims that he believes the tariffs will make america hundreds of millions of dollars, despite what economists have cautioned that that may not work out exactly that way. also interesting to hear him say in that moment that no one has the cards when it comes to ukraine and russia, neither ukraine nor russia has the cards, he said. he once again reiterated that it is time for peace in that war. so certainly we are looking ahead to that as those peace talks are expected to happen in

saudi arabia in the coming days. we're going to take a quick break. we're going to talk more about all of this. when we come back. >> what happens when one of the most famous dunkers of all time goes to the greatest lobster fest of all time? i make red lobster famous. no, blake. dunking happens. yeah. you're right. create your own lobster lover's dream with 2 or 3 choices on one plate at red lobster. >> what do you. >> got. >> there, larry? >> time machine. >> you're going to go back and see how the pyramids were built or something? >> nope. >> elon and i want to go on vacation. >> so i'm going to go back to last week and buy a winning lottery ticket. >> can i come? >> only room for one. >> how am i getting home? >> sitting on my lap like last time? >> ronald? fine. >> but i'm bringing. >> this. all right. >> or you could try one of these savings options. >> the right money. moves aren't as far fetched. >> as you think. >> there it is. see?

president speaking on a number of topics, including the war in ukraine, saying russia would be coming to the table in a meeting in saudi arabia this week. he also said he was close to lifting a pause on u.s. intelligence to ukraine. but the ukraine must be what he said. serious about striking a deal. cnn senior white house producer betsy klein is joining us now. and betsy, he covered a lot of ground, taking a number of questions while he was on air force one. start first with what he was saying about ukraine and russia. we did get some new details there. >> that's right. jessica. the president speaking to reporters as he made his way from the palm beach area back to washington, where a busy week ahead awaits him and his team, notably on the topic of russia and ukraine. as you mentioned. the president said he was optimistic about that critical minerals deal that was halted after that contentious meeting with president zelenskyy just over a week ago, and asked about the pause he
