ones that are going to be potentially facing fines as a result of this legislation. but i'm told by a source familiar that they hope that the legislation will still retain its teeth while being workable for these platforms. >> it would be the first major legislation up against social media platforms, so it sounds like something that makes sense if they're taking people's money using deepfakes. >> exactly. this is so important for the celebrities, but also for everyday people who are facing things like deepfake porn and deepfake. you know, we've seen so many stories like this where somebody's image voice has been used against them, and this will at least finally put some sort of penalties behind that. >> all right. hadas gold, thank you. great reporting. it was great. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now. >> right now. top u.s. officials, including secretary of state marco rubio, are on the way to saudi arabia for what really may be the make or break talks and moment leading to the

end of russia's war on ukraine. a state department official saying the u.s. believes ukraine is ready to push forward to end the conflict. and also this morning, stock futures are down right now after president trump injected even more uncertainty into the economy by saying, who knows if a recession will happen this year. and new today, a desperate search for a college student who vanished while on spring break in the caribbean. authorities are now interviewing a young man who was last seen with her. john is out today. i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner. this is cnn news central. >> the u.s. believes ukraine is ready to move forward on talks to end the war russia started. that's what a state department. a senior state department official is saying. as secretary of state, marco rubio is traveling right now to saudi arabia in hours. he is expected

to meet with ukrainian counterparts for talks on ending the war with russia. it's unclear if he will also be part of separate talks in saudi arabia this week between the u.s. and russia. these meetings are happening less than two weeks after that stunning oval office blowup between president trump and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. last week, zelenskyy suggested a cease fire should include an end to aerial bombing and maritime fighting. zelenskyy saying that would be the first step towards ending the war. cnn's alex marquardt is joining us now from jeddah, saudi arabia. this morning. what can you tell us? is expected today as rubio heads there. he's on his way as we speak. >> rubio set. >> to. >> land here in just a few hours. >> sarah, he's going to be joined on this. >> trip in jeddah with. >> the national security adviser. >> mike wallace. they are expected to meet with. >> the saudi. >> crown prince, who is. >> a real. >> moderator in all of these

talks. but of course, the major. focus is going to. >> be. >> what happens tomorrow. that is when these two high level. >> delegations from both the u.s. and ukraine are expected to. >> sit down. >> this will. >> be another step. >> at attempting. >> to smooth. >> over what happened in the oval. >> office just. >> two weeks ago, that that explosive meeting that was. >> followed by the u.s. >> the trump administration suspending. military and intelligence assistance. >> we did hear. >> from president. >> trump just yesterday saying that. >> that assistance. >> could come. >> back online soon. >> and he said that he expected very big. >> things to. >> happen this week. >> now. >> what is. >> going to. >> happen tomorrow is those two delegations getting ready to sit down. we do know. now from a senior official traveling with secretary. >> rubio. >> that they do believe that ukraine is in a position where they want to move forward on these talks. i want to read you a little bit of what that official told reporters. the fact he said that they are coming here at senior levels is a good indication to us that they want to sit down and they're ready to move forward. but sarah, what that looks like is not clear. that minerals deal that was supposed to be signed

in washington two weeks ago that did not get signed. there have been no more assurances from the united states that there would be any kind of backstop or security guarantees. we would expect the ukrainian delegation to push forward on this proposal for what's being called a partial cease fire that we've heard president zelenskyy talking about, a cease fire of aerial bombardments on civilian and energy infrastructure, a stop to the fighting in the black sea. that is something that the u.s. could get on board with and then send over to the russian side if they believe it's significant enough. of course, far from certain that that's something that the russians would agree to. sarah. >> yeah, there are a lot of questions here, and there's a lot at stake. alex marquardt, thank you so much. live there from jeddah for us, kate. >> so what is clear at this hour is there is a lot of renewed talk once again about a possible recession setting in. what is not clear right now is how the trump administration can stave one off. if trump's trade war drags on, and also not clear exactly what the president himself thinks about the risk. his words who knows? investors

right now do not seem satisfied with that answer. u.s. stock futures are down this morning as we stand by for markets to open this hour. i want to play for you what trump said about this. >> are you. >> expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. 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. >> one thing. also to watch is that the president is injecting new, more new and more uncertainty into the economy now, warning that tariffs against mexico and canada, quote, could go up. that is right after he pumped the brakes on some of those tariffs just last week, cnn's alayna treene at the white house. joining us right now. and elaine, i understand the president's top economic adviser just spoke. you're able to hear from him.

what did he say? >> that's right. he said a lot of things actually. and i was able to catch up with him. kate, this morning here at the white house as well, following that, first of all, he tried to argue that some of the uncertainty in the market, a lot of the uncertainty around trade policy and tariff policy is going to be offset by other economic priorities, like the tax cuts that are being proposed in this current spending bill. of course, we have to see how that goes. and if there is a shutdown on friday, that will only thrust the economy into more uncertainty. but he also argued and acknowledged that people are concerned about these tariffs. but he again said that he believes it would be temporary. take a listen to how he put it people are. >> anxious about. >> future tariffs and so they're stockpiling. and so that's a very, very temporary. >> phenomenon. >> so that's very similar rhetoric to what we've heard the president say. look i mean it is very different from also the rhetoric i think that we're used to as someone who's covered the president over the past two

years, he's often overly optimistic, uses a lot of hyperbole, but he's been very open about saying there is going to be some short term disturbances because of these tariff policies. and i think the stop and start nature of it, of course, as well, that having them be imposed, then taking a one month pause, imposing them again, then giving some exceptions for another month and saying they're going to go into effect on april 2nd. all of that, that kind of whiplash we are seeing affected in the stock market. but again, we heard the president say, you know, don't pay too much attention to the stock market. he says that, you know, he admires the way that china has a 100 year outlook. he thinks that the united states needs to be more long term and allow for the markets. and americans really to be patient. but i did find it very striking that he twice did not rule out higher prices, at a time when so many americans are concerned about their wallets, about inflation. and then also, of course, wouldn't rule out a potential recession. now, one thing that's very clear from all of this is that he's really

testing, i think the trump administration overall is doing this, testing the resiliency of the economy. and again, you know, trying to look really far ahead rather than in the short term. but all of that we're still seeing in the meantime, the markets really reacting to this, as you mentioned, stock futures down. and a lot of people concerned about what that could mean. and economists as well, warning that in the next 12 months, if we don't see things change, there could be a recession. or as many people are concerned about stagflation as well. kate. >> yeah. elena, thank you so much from the white house for us. sara. >> all right. with us now to discuss more democratic strategist and cnn political commentator maria cardona and also former republican strategist and pollster lee carter. lee, first to you. donald trump inherited an economy that was, by almost all accounts, on the rise. but prices were still high just two months. as we're looking at this, just a month in, he's not ruling out a recession after his decision to put tariffs in place. so can you explain how this could be a good thing for

the american people? lee. >> well, i think. >> there's a lot of people. who do. >> believe that the system is unfair. a lot of. people out there believe that it shouldn't be that we're paying more. tariffs on. >> than, than than our. >> trading partners are. and a lot of. >> people. are willing to. >> go the distance. >> now, when. >> you look. >> at the. >> polling on tariffs. they're not wildly popular. >> only a third of. >> americans say. >> that their unpopular tariffs. >> but on the other hand. >> you've got. >> 43% of americans who say. >> they're not sure and they're willing to take a moment. >> to see. what's going to happen. >> many people. support the idea. >> of getting things back in balance and getting things fair and fighting back a little bit. now, how long are they willing to do that? i'm not so sure the prices aren't coming down, and i know that's one of the number one mandates of this president. we're seeing his poll slip just a little bit, but i am seeing the american voters still saying they're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see what he's going to do. >> maria, the united auto workers union's leadership says it supports trump's tariffs because the free trade agreement

did not create the jobs they argue in america. in fact, indeed sucked jobs away from america. what do democrats say to to that argument? >> i think what democrats. >> are underscoring. >> is the fact. >> that this. >> president ran on the economy, this president ran on bringing down inflation, this president ran on. lowering the cost of groceries, gas, rent. >> and eggs. >> on day one. do you. >> know what. >> he posted. >> this past weekend on his truth social? sarah. he posted a message saying, shut up about the price of eggs. that's how much this president. cares about the promises that he made to america's working families, to those exact voters who trusted him to take care about this number one issue. >> that's why. >> you're seeing his. >> poll numbers. >> go down. >> that's why. >> you're seeing that the. >> majority of. >> americans don't think. he's done. enough to focus on inflation. the number. >> one issue.

>> for them in the election. >> and the. >> number one issue. >> that they trusted. >> him on. >> so all. >> of this, i think, is. >> going to come. >> back and. >> bite him. >> politically because it has been a huge betrayal of that. >> one. >> promise that he made to the american people. and what else. >> are they seeing. >> that he is fighting to make sure that he gets money, to give his rich. friends like elon musk and like the newly minted. american oligarchy of billionaires, huge tax cuts, which. >> is what. >> we're seeing now play out in the budget negotiations. >> that's not going. >> to go well for him or for republicans going into the 2026 midterm elections. >> i do want to talk about the fact that canada made up just 0.2% of fentanyl seizures at the u.s. border last year, but the white house economic advisor has time and again, kevin hassett said that this is a drug war, not a trade war. is this an honest argument? lee? >> i think it's a very interesting reframe of the of

the argument, because it's not just about canada. we're also looking at mexico. we're also looking at china, where there are significant issues with fentanyl. and many people have said there was no way that this was going to do anything on the fentanyl and that there was this impossible to implement. and yet already we're seeing a huge shift in behavior in mexico. so i do believe that, you know, while it's not fair in its totality because of, as you describe, canada, i do think that it's a fair assessment of what they're trying to do when it goes back to china, when it comes to mexico. and we're seeing the impact of that already. >> so why go after canada, i guess is the big question who have been unequivocal in their fight against america. i mean, they literally can't believe that the people they thought were their closest allies and friends are now putting them in this position. >> because, you. >> i mean, i can't explain why i decided to go after canada. >> that was to lee. go ahead.

lee. >> oh, i can't explain why he's he's going after canada. but i don't think this is all about one issue. we're not just talking about fentanyl, and we're not just talking about one thing. we're talking about fair trade across the board. and i think that, you know, in that issue, when it comes to canada, there are some things that he's bringing up that many people will say are worth discussing. is it fair to treat them the same way that we're treating some of the other trade partners, which really are causing huge problems for us? i don't think so. and i don't think it's popular with american people, and it's certainly causing friction. when you look at polling on how canadians are viewing americans. >> maria, i want to talk about the shutdown that is four days away. unless there is something passed. republicans do or could go this alone. and we're hearing from john fetterman saying, i am never going to vote for a government shutdown. what are democrats going to do on all of this? >> i think we need to wait and

see what. >> democratic senators. >> are going to do on this. >> sara, which i think is going to be where the real. >> i think decision making is going to have to be done in the house. you know, republicans. >> own it all. >> they can and should pass this. house bill on their own because they did nothing to bring democrats to the table to negotiate and to try to come up with a bipartisan compromise, which is what should happen from the appropriations process. and that's. >> what. >> democratic senators are hoping will happen ultimately in the senate, there is a bipartisan effort still going on for appropriators to actually do what their job is, which is to come together. >> and figure out the. >> appropriations and go through the process. that is what is supposed to happen. now, you know, with all due respect. >> to senator. >> fetterman, you know, he talked about how he will not shut down the government. and i think that's a good idea to have, and that's a good effort to have. democrats do not want to shut down the government. he

said that he will never do this because he's not going to, you know, put the house on fire. but with all due respect to him, the house is already on fire. and the arsonists are donald trump and elon musk because of what they have injected into the economy. the uncertainty, firing so many people all at once, making sure that the benefits of. whatever it is, the cost savings, are going to go to the richest people in america. that is not something that democrats believe is worth fighting for. and in fact, democrats are going to focus on the message that they're the ones who have the backs of america's working class and america's working families. and so that's going to be the focus for democrats, no matter what happens in these negotiations. >> there are just a few days to figure all of this out. we will see what happens. we are back at it again worrying about a shutdown. maria cardona, lee carter, thank you both so much. appreciate it kate. >> ahead for us. a teenager in florida is now under arrest after police say he threatened

>> breaking overnight. police say a potential school shooting has been thwarted, and a high school student arrested after they were tipped off about a disturbing video. police in sanford, florida, say in that video, a 17 year old threatened to shoot up seminole high school and showed off multiple guns, vests and other items of concern. as police put it. when investigators searched his home, they found what they call extremely realistic airsoft replicas. you see them all there on the wall. it's not yet clear if they are the same items that were used in the video. here's what cnn senior national security analyst juliette kayyem told our kate bolduan about the case this morning. >> i think it goes back to this performative aspect of violence in this country now, especially amongst. teenage or young men. they want to record it. they want people to know that it's going to happen or while it's happening. look, these these airsoft guns, they can harm.

they're not they're not going to. they won't necessarily kill. they are terrifying. they are meant to terrify. >> and it was thwarted because someone made a phone call called a tip line. investigators say the teen does not attend the high school. he's accused of threatening. kate. >> also new this morning, authorities in the dominican republic are interviewing a young man about a missing university of pittsburgh student. it's believed he was with her right before she disappeared during spring break. 20 year old sudiksha konanki was last seen walking on a beach with a group of people at a punta cana hotel, and this was early thursday, and now they're still searching for her. cnn's rafael romo is following this and joins us now. what is the very latest? rafael. >> hey, kate. >> good morning. it's already been more than four days since the 20 year old student from the university of pittsburgh went missing, and her whereabouts are still a mystery. what i was able to find out overnight through a law enforcement source in the dominican republic, was that a young man is being interviewed by the dominican national police

because he is believed to have been the last person she was with 20 year old sudiksha konanki was last seen on surveillance camera, with seven other people entering the beach at the republica hotel in punta cana on thursday at 415 in the morning. according to my source, five young women and one young man who were with her left the beach area at 5:55 a.m., but konanki stayed behind with one young man who was also part of the group. that young man is seen on surveillance video leaving the beach area four hours later at 955 in the morning. konanki was reported missing at four in the afternoon. that very same day overnight. they also spoke on the phone with her father, who has traveled to the dominican republic. subbarayudu konanki described his daughter as a very nice girl and a very ambitious young woman who wanted to pursue a career in medicine. she's a pre-med student at the university of pittsburgh, where she's a junior. the family initially requested the assistance of loudoun county

authorities in virginia, the state where they live. this is what the local sheriff had to say about the case. >> it's possible that she. >> never went into. >> the water. >> it's possible that. >> there's something else that could have happened to her. so we can't just assume that that's. >> the case. >> so we. >> have to, you. >> know. >> presume that at this point, anything's. >> possible. >> and kate, originally from india, konanki is a permanent resident of the united states, as is her family. her father told me they have been living in the country since 2006. now back to you. >> rafael, thank you so much for that. we'll stay very close to this. still also ahead for us. top u.s. diplomats are on their way to saudi arabia right now for critical talks on ukraine. the war on ukraine and new reporting coming in that the united states sees signals that ukraine is ready to move forward. and while republican lawmakers have been facing angry constituents at town halls over elon musk's purge, democrats are also now facing anger at their own town halls over how hard democrats are or are not

democratic support? president trump warning on sunday that a shutdown could happen, but says he's hopeful it won't. cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill for us. lauren, what is the feeling at this point among republicans about whether or not they have and will have all of the votes to be able to pass this without a single democratic vote? >> yeah. >> house republican leaders are preparing. >> for exactly that scenario. they have spent the. >> last several. >> days really. trying to coalesce their conference around this idea of basically thwarting any potential shutdown threat until the end of september. their argument to their membership is that they are out of time, that negotiating full year bills, which has been the preference traditionally of conservatives, isn't possible at this point. and because democrats are lining up against the idea of this short term cr, the likely scenario is that they are going to need to coalesce as

one entire republican party. given that narrow majority in the house to go ahead and pass this now, the big question, sarah, is even if house republicans can get this passed out of their chamber, what happens when it goes to the republican controlled senate? remember that there's still a filibuster over there, which means that you need 60 votes. that means they will need to find at least seven democrats willing to vote for this proposal. and i just want to note over the weekend, patty murray, who's the top democrat on the senate appropriations committee, said the following about this house's stopgap measure. she said, quote, instead of turning the keys over to donald trump's administration with this bill, congress should immediately pass a short term cr to prevent a shutdown and finish work on bipartisan funding bills that invest in families, keep americans safe, and ensure our constituents have a say in how federal funding is spent. that does not sound like someone who's going to be voting for this stopgap measure. if it heads over to the united states senate. so that really leaves a

lot of questions about whether or not democrats would vote to shut down the government. if house republicans can get this out of their chamber tomorrow. sara. >> we're also hearing from john fetterman saying, look, i am not going to i will never vote against or vote on a bill that would shut down the government. so you do have some differing opinions, but ultimately, how many democrats would it take to pass this in the senate? and do they have those votes? that's the that is the big question this morning. is it not? >> that's exactly right, sara. i mean, you have one in john fetterman, but do you have six more? i think that that is the key question right now, and we have not heard from schumer, the democratic leader in the senate, as to what he wants his caucus to do. because remember, the party that is not in power. their argument is that republicans control this government. they are the ones who ultimately have the say. but in the senate, that is not really the case, right? because again, you need those 60 votes. republicans don't have the

votes. therefore they are going to need some democratic support. >> sara loren fox, great reporting from you there on capitol hill. appreciate it. now to you, kate. >> joining us right now to talk much more about this is democratic congresswoman suzanne bonamici from oregon. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. kind of just bouncing off what sara and lauren were talking about right there. i mean, democrats do have a choice this week. go along with republicans and vote for this funding. extension, a funding extension that does not give democrats any of the concessions that were wanted or vote against it and block it, potentially in the senate, and then maybe see the government shut down. what is your thinking right now? where are you on this? will you vote for it? >> well. >> at this. >> point, no, this. continuing resolution that the republican majority is proposing doesn't. >> do anything to. >> address the concerns. >> i'm hearing from my constituents. here in oregon. >> it seems to double. >> down on the dangerous cuts, including to medicaid does nothing to protect medicare and

social security. and that's not what my constituents want. i just heard from many of them across northwest oregon in. >> urban. >> suburban and rural areas, and. >> they're looking. >> for something other than that. >> they're looking for. >> something that addresses their concerns about what donald trump and elon musk are doing, chopping away at the government. >> well, congresswoman, i just had republican congresswoman malliotakis on last hour. and she said, if you voted, she said it's essentially what has already been. i mean, that's the point of a cr. she says that if you voted for it in december, there's no reason why you should not vote for it today. it's basically is what they voted for with minor changes. and if you don't, then the democrats, quite frankly, own this shutdown. >> oh. >> i. >> disagree with that. >> this is not the same as december. now donald trump and elon musk are devastating our federal employees. laying off

people in dangerous ways. these this is not. >> the. >> same situation that we were in in december. and i've been through government shutdowns before, and nobody wants a government shutdown. if they want to come back to the table and talk about doing something to make this bipartisan. i'll have an open mind. but right now i'm hearing way too many concerns from my constituents about what's happening in this administration. >> would you agree that what would be worse, even in the midst of what elon musk and doge purge would be right now, maybe a government shutdown would be a worst thing that could happen. >> i, i don't know about that. i've been through government shutdowns before, and nobody wants the government to shut down. it's a harmful to the people we represent. but at the same time, they need to come back to the table and do something reasonable, because this is not what my constituents want in terms of doubling down on cuts. and it is different now. now that we are seeing

project 2025 play out. >> so this is interesting. would given because it often does come to an either or. and none of it ever is the perfect. but if it comes down to it, where things are right now and what you're hearing from your constituents, would you be okay? would you be okay knowing the government was shutting down? if you don't get any bipartisan resolution here? >> i'm never okay with a government shutting down, but at the same time, my constituents want me to fight for the things that they believe in, including the department of education, for example, medicaid, which is a hugely important in my state of oregon, particularly in rural communities, protecting social security and medicare. and they are extremely concerned about what's happening so far in this administration with the unelected billionaire elon musk seemingly laying off government employees that are making a tremendous difference across the country. right here, i represent the oregon coast, the people they they've laid off from

noaa, extremely concerned about that. the bonneville power administration and people are really worried about them. as we see project 2025 play out, shutting down the department of education. this is something that is extremely concerning to me. >> what you're getting at is something a bigger a bigger one that democrats need to face right now, which is what is the best way of countering president trump. and in presenting the contrast to voters, you've got protest, various protests by democrats during the president's address to congress. al green was removed after mounting a loud protest disrupting the speech. i believe you walked out of the speech in protest after he was removed, but people seem split now. i'm talking about democrats and constituents on how what it what the counterprogramming should look like. constituents at a democratic town hall last night in california. they want democrats to be more like al green. watch this. >> i think.

>> the moral. >> high ground is not to stay within the lines that we're used to, but. the moral high ground is for you to defend democracy. i think we need to do something stronger. i don't either, but i think we need more al greens. >> we need more al greens. but multiple elected democrats just yesterday said al green went too far. let me play this for you. >> and the conduct of the democrats. that was a strategic. >> mistake as. >> well as something that just is not appropriate for the decorum of the u.s. house. >> of representatives. >> i think. >> to me. there's there's so much frustration. >> with. >> the trump administration. there's so much concern. that what. >> you saw was sort of the. >> emotion and wanting to. >> be visible. >> it's not personally. >> the way i reacted. >> i think the lack of a coordinated response to the state of the union was a mistake. and frankly, it took

the focus. >> off of where it should. >> have been. >> who's right well, i'll tell you what i heard. >> i just did five town hall meetings across northwest oregon in from portland out to rural areas. and people are very, very concerned and want the democrats to do more. and it's one of the reasons why i walked out of the state of the union address to congress. it's one of the reasons why i went over to the department of education to demand a meeting. got locked out. it's one of the reasons why i stood out in front of the department of labor, the department of commerce at noaa, and the consumer financial protection bureau to to raise awareness. i, i've never rallied as part of my job. i'm a policymaker. but now people do want us to do more, and we are going to see this happening from the ground up as people across the country realize what is at stake here. and they are. this is as i mentioned, this is not normal times for them. like i

mentioned to the department of education, real concern to my constituents. and i'm thinking, i wonder if donald trump or elon musk have ever been in a public school because i did all of my town hall meetings at public schools. people want us to protect public education. now, that being said, we need to keep the focus on what they are doing, what donald trump and elon musk and doge are doing. and and so that's what i want to do, is focus on the danger that they're creating, the harm they are creating by by threatening to close down the department of education, for example, by all these layoffs that are making people feel extremely concerned about what's ahead. and also the the breaches of security and the to does elon musk have their social security number, their home address, their medical records if they filed a worker's comp claim and the and and it goes on and on. so people are extremely concerned. but we need to keep the focus as democrats need to fight. but we also need to keep the focus on what donald trump and elon musk

are doing to this country and to democracy. >> and how democrats go about doing that seems to be part of the bigger conversation right now. congressman, thank you for your time. coming up for us, top administration officials are set to hold separate talks with ukraine and russia this week. why officials believe now ukraine is ready to move forward with peace talks. we'll be right back. >> welcome to the norway to network. they switch to juniper's a.i. native network. now. everyone's so productive they're operating at a higher gear. now their network is self-configuring, self-protecting and self-healing. so their i.t. team deals with up to 90% fewer network trouble tickets. >> whoa. what was that? >> just the sound barrier. that's the norway to network at work with real a.i. putting you in the fast lane. weight loss. >> for so. >> long.

believes ukraine is, quote, ready to move forward. joining us now, former deputy pentagon press secretary sabrina singh. thank you so much for coming in this morning, coming in, hanging out with us. look, the u.s. has pulled back on funding. they've pulled back on intelligence sharing. they've pulled back on the use of some satellite imagery for ukraine. i mean, is this a good way to try to begin a negotiation with ukraine by punishing ukraine instead of punishing russia, who started the war? >> yeah. i mean, simply put, no withholding intelligence sharing, withholding. >> satellite imagery. >> prevents ukrainians from continuing their war against russia, but also allowing. >> them to do those long. >> range strikes which have. >> allowed them to take. >> back their sovereign territory. >> since the war began. >> so i don't. know what the trump administration. >> is trying to accomplish with all of this. i did hear the national security advisor yesterday say that donald trump isn't going to take sides, which. >> is quite. >> shocking of a statement to make because russia invaded its neighbor almost three years ago.

>> so there is a sense. >> of hope. >> and it's the. >> one of the ukrainians. >> and the russians feel like he's certainly taken their side, because they were pretty much celebrating after hearing some of the things that donald trump was doing when it comes to dealing with ukraine and sort of punishing zelenskyy. i do want to ask you what you expect out of this meeting with marco rubio and his counterparts, being that marco rubio was in the room that day, sort of stepped back from it. but when there was this huge blow up with, you know, vice president vance and president trump and zelenskyy, you. >> mean. >> when he absorbed into the couch a bit. yeah. so what i'm looking. >> for is to see is. >> there movement on this critical. >> minerals deal. is that a chit. >> a bargaining. >> chip for the trump administration to basically turn that. spigot of intelligence sharing back on? >> i'm also looking. >> to see, you know, out of these meetings, if in good faith, the united states honors its commitments. i mean, under the previous administration, which i served, we did on almost a weekly basis, send out military assistance in the form of presidential drawdown packages to the ukrainians. this

administration has stopped that. so i'm looking out of these meetings to see if they turn that back on, because it is critical that the ukrainians get what that those, those that military assistance, but also, i mean, reneging on. >> one of. >> our promises, our commitments under a previous administration that also sends a signal to our allies and partners around the world. and we need to be mindful of that. >> i wanted to talk to you about that because, you know, canada obviously not involved in this, but canada saying, look, we don't trust you anymore. poland also saying, look, if you if you are going to be in this position where we don't know what you're going to do, europe also worrying about the united states not standing behind them, where does that put us when it comes to our place in the world? >> look, trust is earned. and i think with any relationship that is one of the foundations. and i think under the biden administration, you saw that trust earned, backed with our allies and partners right now in the second trump administration that is being fractured. and the fact that we are going back on deals, commitments to ukraine as they continue their war against russia, of course, that's going to send a message to poland, to our nato allies. i mean, you

have the president of the united states saying that we might not defend some nato countries who don't honor their spending commitments. that is not how article five works. and so i think rightfully, allies and partners around the world are saying, you know, what are we going to do if the united states doesn't stand with us? >> they have said in some cases that they're going to work with other partners, partners that may not be so friendly to the united states ultimately. so we will see how this all plays out. but this is a big meeting in saudi arabia with rubio and his counterparts with ukraine. and we will see what happens. and hopefully we'll have you back when we get the fallout from whatever happens there. really appreciate it. >> thank you sarah. >> all right. could arson be to blame for the destructive brush fires on long island? these pictures are outrageous. like this. looks like, you know, los angeles just a few months ago. also, though, we're hearing powerful storms are headed to the west coast. we have the latest on the wild weather that's happening across the country. >> five good things.

the governor and the residents and the firefighters on the ground proactively work to get this under control through the course of the weekend. and that's what they did. so the conditions there are fortunately improving. but we have another weather concern on the horizon that is going to change the game here for the next week or so. and right now we've got our first storm system that's moving across the southeast, actually bringing a tornado risk to central florida as we speak. it is a marginal risk, but there has been some pop up spin ups in the atmosphere, particularly right here. you can see an ongoing tornado warning just north of downtown orlando. and here's a new tornado warning that's just been issued south of sarasota. so these thunderstorms have had radar confirmed tornadoes, damaging winds, even some potential hail as well associated with this system. but that's not even the bigger concern because it's really the next approaching storm system that will combine with a larger trough over the western u.s. that's going to bring not only beneficial rain and snow to the western parts of the u.s. much needed, but it is

also going to bring a multi-day, severe weather setup. so here's kind of the larger picture. you can see that swirl in the cloud cover just off the west coast that will move inland. and then watch what happens as it heads into thursday and friday. the potential for a deepening storm system over the central parts of the u.s. kate. this has the potential for more tornadoes across the deep south heading into the end of the week. >> another week of weather that we need to keep a very close eye on. derek, thank you very much. it's a little a little bit and a lot, a bit everywhere is what i took is what i take a lot of it exactly. >> it is monday. we got through. congratulations. thank you for joining us. this is cnn news central. situation room is up next sadly. >> windshield. >> chips can turn into windshield cracks. but at least. >> you can. >> go. >> to safelite. >> com and schedule a fix in minutes. sweet safelite can come
