kaitlan collins, our chief white house correspondent, where the u.s. delegation is here in geneva, the summit has now wrapped up. what else are you learning, kaitlan? >> reporter: we saw president biden leave. he gave a thumbs up to the press. the question is what does that say about this summit oochs. he is expected to tell us shortly but not until the russian leader has briefed his press corps or gone over his talking points of how this meeting went. we saw the presidential limo ideaing for a few moments before biden got into it, clearly an indication that talks were wrapping up before officials officially let reporters know that the summit had come to an end. now we can see secretary of state tony blinken's motorcade outside. we saw the secretary of state get out of his vehicle. we have not seen the president from over here in this perspective. we're told he's expected to hold nearby while president putin gives his press conference. they're waiting to see what putin says about his view essentially of how the summit went. it's a lot shorter than what

. >> joining us live from brussels, cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. intense growing list of topics they'll discuss. >> reporter: there a lot of topics to discuss and so far you've seen had the putin in the interview be pretty dismissive of what it is he and president biden are expected to talk about, excuse me, including human rights and of course election interference,s ran someware hackings going on with russia. all of the matters are something that will make this a very intense conversation. we're waiting to see what it's going to look like when they're in the room together. we know victor and alisyn what the format will look like a little bit. the white house has said president biden will have president putin arrive first at the villa you were just showing in geneva. then they are going to be meeting not quite one on one, each going to have another staffer in the room and for president biden, that is going to be secretary of state tony blinken, for president too putin the russian foreign minister. then they will be in a room where there are more o

cnn chief white house correspondent, kaitlan collins, is back with us.here wasn't applause when the vice president had the line, you know, we went back and we did our duty. the applause was backing the, you know, i'm not going to let it, you know, basically, turn -- make me turn against the president. i'm so proud of what we did for the four years. what else did the vice president have to say? >> well, anderson, he was, also, talking about how he supports some of these -- what they call election-integrity efforts on the state level across the country. that those are code words for, essentially, trying to fix the next-election cycle for republicans. because republicans, by and large, have been driving this process at the statehouse level. you know, anderson, one of the things mike pence did not talk about during that speech. he did not talk about how his own president tried to st strong arm him into overturning the election results. the disagreement that exists over january 6th is not just about january 6th. it is about what led up to january 6th and how

based on biden's meltdown one question by kaitlan collins, that would be a catastrophe judge. >> judgeing part of this, also, you now have joe rogan who is loved, has an incredible podcast, who is calling out cnn brian stelter. you know, criticizing him saying he's basically, you know, not a great guy. not a great journalist. >> yeah, and total props to joe rogan for calling out brian stelter and all the colleagues at cnn. listen, joe rogan is thriving because he is an independent speaker and people are starving for that because they are notog getting it from the propaganda of the media so his audience is just exploding because people want no b.s., no nonsense. they want the truth. they are certainly not getting it from brian stelter and cnn. t and that exchange and biden 'reaction to kaitlan collins shows how thin-skinned and what a short fuse joe biden has because that question came from a reporter at cnn, a boot licking network and biden blew a gasket. that points to a bigger issue judge. for decades, democrats like progressives have been coddled and so protected by the so-called ma

and that exchange and biden 'reaction to kaitlan collins shows how thin-skinned and what a short fuseecause that question came from a reporter at cnn and boot licking network and biden blew a gasket. that points to a bigger issue, judge. for decades, democrats like progressives have been coddled and so protected by the so-called mainstream media that they are not used to getting a tough question. by the way, that question from cnn was thoroughly benign. they are not used to being challenged even in the most benign kind of way because they never have. so when they are confronted with a question like "are you confident that putin is going to change?" he blows up and use it this time and again. he gets questions like "what is your favorite flavor of ice cream?" >> judge pirro: monica, monica when you say it points to a bigger issue, not just the coddling by the mainstream media, but the irritability and, you know the sentences that have no end and go on and on. are these signs of a bigger cognitive issue? >> well, that is something i think that ronny jackson and others have raised that p

. >>> now kaitlan collins and van jones. kaitlan, senator manchin didn't take abolishing the filibuster off the table. he just says i want to make the senate work for the people the way it should. manu gave him multiple chances to take it off the table. he made a point not to. how do you read that? >> he didn't. though, on capitol hill several times he said i don't want to get rid of the filibuster, basically stop asking me that question. but pointing to several times saying this 60-vote threshold, that's something you're never going to support changing? you're right, he would not commit to that, which i do think is notable. but of course his comments essentially offering a warning about what happens if they do change it do stand. you saw senator sanders there basically acknowledging it but saying that they do feel -- and this is the feeling among several prominent democrats -- that voting rights and those voting rights legislation, they're worth it to get rid of the fixture even if it comes back to haunt them if helps take

cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins joins us now from cornwall, england. let's start with the vaccines. the president says this half a billion doses come with no strings attached? >> reporter: yeah, that's kind of been the white house's line as they've been talking about what their vaccine sharing plan is going to be, because that's obviously a jab at other countries that have tried to trade political favors for sharing vaccines, but this does come amid some questions and even some criticism of what was the actual u.s.'s plan going to be. that is what world leaders wanted to know and the white house knew that they should have expected president biden to get pressed on that by other world leaders as he is on his first trip abroad, and so that's why i think this timing of this announcement is certainly no coincidence with the president announcing that the u.s. has bought and is going to donate half a billion pfizer vaccines. now, a lot of those are going to go out this year, but several hundred of them will also go out in the first half of 2022, according to

with us now, chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins. kaitlan, let's start with the president's vaccination goals. he laid out some things that are happening this month and some things he would like to see happen over the next few weeks. >> reporter: that was essentially a rallies cry from president biden. now we're getting to the last 30 days where he has set where he wants to see at least 70% of americans partially vaccinated by that date. that means we're at about 63% almost and 18 million more u.s. adults that need to get their first vaccine shot in order to reach the president's goal. so he is announcing this effort, that they are taking in partnerships with some local pharmacies. some of the nation's largest child care, to help people get vaccinated, and have the time to recover, as well, but i think also what you saw there was president biden calling on private employers to do the same, making space for their employees to be able to take the day to go get the vaccine, because the white house says people feel like they're simply too

kaitlan collins has details on this crime prevention plan. >> reporter: the recent surge in violent crime in the united states in several major cities is becoming an issue that the white house feels they need to be out in front of. so that is why you saw president biden on wednesday meeting with the attorney general and players of several major cities at the white house having a round table before coming out to address the ways that he believes that they need to address that violence and what to do about it. and he is dealing it through the lens of gun violence saying if he believes that they tighten gun regulations and cracking down on dealers who knowingly are selling guns to people who should not be firing them, that they would go after those dealers to go after their licenses. but he also is allowing states and cities to use some of the covid-19 relief funds from that bill that he signed into law earlier this year to staff up their police departments, to pay overtime, to create these community based initiatives that they think will help stem this violence. but i think the most telling

kaitlan collins is at the white house. and the president seems to be dla drawing a line, a line that he's held for some time thousand. >> re now. >> reporter: and also president has still not spoken to senator capito. and she said she hasn't heard when the call would happen. and so it demonstrates just how little that they think that they will gain from that call. and jen psaki says that the president still does view the top negotiator as a viable partner in this talk about what this infrastructure proposal could look like, but it also comes as he is preparing to speak to another group of republican senators who have been quietly working a plan b. and they are on the verge of collapse right now. but the question of whether they will get anywhere is running up against deadlines that are happening on capitol hill including next week where you will start senators and house members work on what the bill would look like. and also as some of the progressive members are saying it is time to move on. with bernie sanders saying las

kaitlan collins from the white house. manu to you first.he vote for next tuesday. food is the holiday and then the week. democrats don't have much time now. what's going to happen? >> there was no expectation they would get the votes to pass this in the senate. they need 60 votes in order to even bring it to the floor to open debate. they won't get that. in fact they probably will just get the 50 votes. manchin himself has not said if he would vote yes on the first procedural vote. but he is expected to do so assuming they can reach a deal on what joe manchin is talking about. he is proposing a paraed back of the democrats sweeping election overall is. he does not support the plan. but the plan of his would include a number of things making election day a national holiday, voter id requirements to try to get some republican support. that's why he pushes the voter id issue. but democrats work with him on that. and that's still unlikely to win over any republicans who believe simply that as mitch mcconnell says that this is not necessary at t

kaitlan collins, cnn, traveling with the president in cornwall. >>> with us to talk about this is cateena thompson of the university of ex a ter where she is a senior lecturer in security and strategic >> let's begin by talking about president biden and prime minister boris johnson. what do you make of their political styles? do you see areas where they might be aligned and areas where there are likely to be more of a clash? >> in terms of letteredship styles they are quite different. joe biden is known for reaching across the aisle and wanting consensus, whereas boris johnson, let's not forget that very recently there was the so-called purge, the remainor purge in 2019 where members of the torrey party including churchill's grandson were expelled from the conservative party for voting against a no deal brexit. so he's had a very hard party line in that regard. so, yes, it's interesting to see how those different styles will come into place today, especially very important for the uk in context of global britain to have those closer ties with the u.s., the so-called special relationsh

." >>> let's go right to our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins on the ground in the united kingdom for us. kaitlan a big, historic moment coming up for the president of the united states. >> reporter: it is, wolf. right now he is putting all the emphasis on allies. in his first stop a short time ago he was framing his mission this week as critical, saying this is all about this battle between democracies and autocracies and vowing to stand up to adversaries like china and russia. of course, wolf, this all comes as he's facing big questions from some of those allies that he is meeting with this week about big new challenges related to the pandemic and what the u.s.'s role will look like when it comes to sharing vaccines. >> the united states is back and democracies of the world -- >> reporter: on his first trip abroad, president biden is hoping to restore america's standing while reassuring allies that his predecessor spent four years torching. >> i'm heading to the g7, then the nato ministerial and then to meet with mr. putin to let him know what i want him to know. >> repo

let's start with cnn's kaitlan collins. so, kaitlan, how much is this trip about the nitty gritty of foreign policy? and how much is about sending a broader message that the u.s. is under new management? >> i think -- he was speaking in front of those armed forces saying america is back and that is really the message you are going to see the president and top aides really try to hammer home while they are here on his first trip abroad. and saying essentially, look, of course, what happened during the last four years with his predecessor. they are here to essentially say that is not the path we want america to continue on. things are changing. we do want to focus on building alliances. and essentially, framing it as this critical mission. talking about the importance of a democracy, versus an autocracy. but i think, john, where this is going to be a difficult challenge for the president is that a lot of these allies are, still, reeling from the four years that was donald trump. and they are weary of america's standing, really

now as cnn's kaitlan collins reports biden talks about declining covid cases and a milestone in vaccinationseporter: president biden trumpeting another covid-19 milestone today. >> thanks to this wartime response we've gotten 300 million shots in the arms of americans in 150 days. >> the president touting the number of shots administered since he took office while at least 350 million shots have been given overall. >> it's an important milestone that just didn't happen on its own or by chance. >> reporter: but while celebratingality chiefment biden is also acknowledging the long road still ahead. >> unfortunately, cases and hospitalizations are not going down in many places in the lower vaccination states. they are actually going up in some places. >> reporter: biden turned his focus to a new milestone today now that he's unlikely to meet this one. >> our goal by july 4th is to have 70% of adult americans with at least one shot. >> reporter: 65% of u.s. adults have had at least one dose, but the pace of vaccinations is slowing and the pool of those willing to get vaccinated is shrinking. >>

as chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins reports there are signs of progress. >> reporter:sident biden is turning the focus to his domestic agenda as a new bipartisan truer pitch is gaining steam. >> our focus is on a bipartisan proposal that focuses on true infrastructure and doesn't raise taxes. >> reporter: spearheaded by senator mitt romney and others the new proposal calls for $1.2 trillion in total spending on roads, bridges and other physical infrastructure with roughly $579 billion in new spending. one sign of progress, 21 senators including 11 republicans are now on board. aides briefed president biden on the proposal today after he struck an optimistic tone in switzerland. >> so i'm still hoping we can put together the two book ends here. >> reporter: whether lawmakers can remains to be seen. liberal democrats are already dismissing the plan as inadequate. >> if they really, really, really want this bipartisan deal so that, you know, they can go out and champion that, then we're going to have to really talk about medicare, wages, unionization and climate, especial

so the media should have backed up kaitlan collins for asking that question, not defended biden from saving the best for last here mollie. historian jon meacham on msnbc. >> my insight watching the press conference yesterday was there was a kind of [indiscernible] in his prose. does that make sense? not literally his prose. but it was straightforward and by being so straightforward, it seemed kind of to elevate it. >> laura: let's just embarrassing. i don't even know -- again, at a loss for words, i can't use that phrase again, mollie, tonight after talking about the border. this is a pulitzer prize-winning historian, also a biden speechwriter of course. >> i do remember when he wrote a speech and then for now president biden and praised biden for the speech that he wrote. this is actually somewhat reserved for him i guess, but again, this is not -- we should have a press corps that is able to critically analyze presidents and do it in a sane and sober way. we didn't have that with the previous president, it was just unending hysteria and hostility and then with this, it's just peopl

kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. >>> president biden has declared june a national month of actionh hopes of getting at least one covid shot into the arms of 70% of adults by june 4th. he announced a variety of new incentives to encourage vaccinations while emphasizing that getting a vaccine isn't a political move. >> getting the vaccine is not a partisan act. the science was done under democratic and republican administrations. as a matter of fact, the first vaccines were authorized under a republican president and widely developed by a democratic president, deployed by a democratic president. >> vaccination rates have been declining nationwide. that number took another hit this past week with doses given at less than a third of the pace as the peak period in mid-april, but the cdc says an average of 615,000 people became fully vaccinated each day last week. still just over half of americans have received at least one vaccine dose. dr. anthony fauci says the president's july 4th goal is realistic if people don't get complacent. >>> all right. to the eu now where seven countries ar

more now from cnn's kaitlan collins who is at the white house tonight. he vowed to ramp up efforts to protect voting rights. are there any more details on that? >> he said he not only wants to ramp up efforts to protect them to get more people to vote, anderson, he also wants to push back on these efforts to suppress voting rights and to restrict them, as we've seen play out in several states following the 2020 election. and president biden said part of that involves putting the vice president in charge of getting the push on capitol hill to get the major legislation on election laws and voting rights passed through congress. but of course, anderson, that is going to be a very tough job given they've basically languished after passing the house because now they're up against a divided senate, and they don't even have all of the democrats on board, something that the president did allude to today. >> i hear all of the folks on tv say why doesn't biden get it done. well because biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the house and a tie in t

cnn's kaitlan collins is live for us at the white house. kaitlan, the call with biden and senate shelley moore capito, that call just wrapped up. tell us what we know about it. >> it doesn't seem like it had too promising of an outcome, jake, because we're told by a spokes person for senator kapito that that call only lasted about five minutes so it doesn't appear there were any breakthroughs. we weren't expecting any. senator kapito said she was not expecting them to come to any kind of agreement during the conversation they had today but it also didn't seem like the white house was hoping for much out of that call even and given that they had already delayed it since it was supposed to happen yesterday and president biden has still rejected the latest offer that he got from senator kapito last friday because he didn't feel like it came up enough in new spending. that basically seems like those talks are on the verge of collapse or have collapsed with the short phone call. we're still waiting to get the final white house readout. jake, this

our own kaitlan collins was asking him some questions. set the scene for us, kaitlan. i want to play what the president said to the air force one press pool, and he made that gesture, to go back and speak and answer reporters' questions. what you asked him, what he said at the time. he suggested when he walked back, he wanted to apologize for being a wise guy. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. that was because of the question/interaction, myself and several reporters were questioning the president about this major summit that happened into with the russian leader. my question was what makes it confident that putin could potential change his behavior in the next three to six months, which was repeatedly a metric he cited in how to measure the success, when it comes to cybersecurity, when it comes to human rightsty end he drew incredibly frustrated, he says he is not confident that putin will change his behavior. you believe he's confident, in that he did hold a summit to talk about these issues, but the white house said they wanted to get a good indicator of where the u.

cnn chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins and neef national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny both with us now, kaitlan, first to you, what's the latest on the president's timing here? >> reporter: he sat down with senator capito in the oval office yesterday and we are now told by sources that during that meeting he said he would come down to $1 trillion in new spending, three times as high as that latest republican counteroffer but it is significant, where we initially were with president biden's first proposal to now we are at about $1.4 trillion total with a trillion dollars in new spending. of course the gap is still not what they want to spend on new spending when it comes to infrastructure, but also how they are going to pay for it. before there had been this proposal from president biden that they would lower, or raise, excuse me, the corporate tax rate, that is something that republicans said was essentially a red line for them. they weren't interested in revisiting the 2017 trump tax cuts, the tax cuts that lowered that corporate tax rate but we are told president bid

kaitlan collins, our chief white house correspondent is on scene here in geneva. what are you hearing, kaitlan, on the first round when the secretary of state and the personal advise letter be joining the two presidents for the personal discussions? >> reporter: it's a little unusual that the one will be in the room. antony blinken, the secretary of state circumstance incredibly close to president biden, so that's going to be the one person in the room with him when the meeting kicks off. you'll see president biden arrive at any second as you see the motorcade making its way through geneva. and they're going to be in a room, president bide den, secretary blinken, president putin, and lavrov. that's going to be a critical meeting where they look each other in the eye and get a sense to how the day is going to go. the white house is preparing for any outcome. they're hoping there will not be any surprises, but they've lowered expectations. they do not expect a large amount of deliverables when they walk out the door. when they open it up to a few more staffers, those

joining us now with more on both angles, cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house. lan, what is the white house saying tonight? >> they feel like it was the good outcome. the outcome they wanted and there weren't any surprises they had not seen on the horizon going into president biden's first trip abroad. but they are responding directly to kevin mccarthy and that's coming from jake sullivan, who is president biden's national-security adviser. and he was asked about this allegation from mccarthy that essentially biden gave putin a pass by appearing on a world stage with him. shaking hands with him. having these meetings. and sullivan was saying that the proof that that's not true is in the fact that biden did push putin on things like human rights, alexei navalny, the detaining of americans on false premises. and, of course, on election interference and these ransomware and cyberattacks that we've seen. maybe, they didn't get to a resolution of those. but he is saying at least he did push him on them. and jake sullivan really kind of summed it up by saying he did no

but we are going to start with cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house. kaitlan, the white house is saying there was a new counteroffer from senate republicans today. >> and it doesn't sound like it was received well by the president during this call, jake. this readout that we just got from the white house is a little bit more detailed than the one we got from senator capito, who, of course, is republicans' top negotiator and the white house says during that call today, senator capito offered to come up about $50 billion in the republican offer on infrastructure. that's, of course, compared to what the president's plan is. his latest offer was about a trillion dollars in new spending. the previous-republican offer had been about $260 billion in new spending. so still, very far apart on the spending there. and it doesn't appear that the white house took this too well, jake, because in this readout, the white house says the president expressed his gratitude for her effort and good will. but also, indicated the current offer did not meet his objectives to gr

cnn's kaitlan collins is following all of this from england. so good to see you.o what are the big priorities today? >> reporter: well, i think the big priorities that they really want to talk about are the three cs, as the white house is referring to it privately, which is china, covid-19 and climate. those have really been the big three things they said president biden has wanted to push while he is here for the first time meeting with these world leaders. but fred, i think beyond the substance of this summit is really just seeing how different if you take a step back it is from the last time these world leaders were gathered all together. of course, that didn't happen last year because of the pandemic, but before that it was president trump who was here. and he often derided these u.s. alliances. he often mocked them or called them out publicly. he was not afraid to do that. and so you're seeing this sense of relief almost among these other world leaders as they're interacting with president biden. they may not agree or see eye to eye on all the issues you can

. >> let's get to kaitlan collins and our chief international correspondent clarissa ward. as we heard in the pleasantries between the prime minister and the president it is mr. biden's first international trip as president, he's had in the past tensions and disagreements, some of them stylistic and policy with the prime minister. what are we looking for today? >> reporter: you saw the prime minister saying there he wasn't going to disagree with president biden when he joked that they had in common, they both married up. or anything else. but we know prooftly behind the scenes that's unlikely. there are a few differences where they have fundamental divides in opinion on certain subjects. what they're trying to do here is restore this relationship, renew the relationship between the uk and the u.s. part of that is the renewal of the atlantic charter. that was what paved the way for the relationship, the special relationship in wake of world war ii and what we've seen last decades ever since then. that's what the white house is emphasizing is a big takeaway from this sitdown.

. >> cnn's chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is with us now.ing on this growth and saying now is the time for congress to season some big priorities like infrastructure but can he really get it done? >> reporter: that is the big question that still remains here in washington about whether that is actually going to happen in a bipartisan fashion. i think most people think it will happen. just is a question of what the end result is going to look like. with this jobs report today you heard biden saying there some will be up and some will be down. this is certainly much higher than it was in april when it was that incredibly low jobs report. today while we do have this new report saying that, yes, hiring has accelerated, you are seeing the unemployment rate go down, it is still not as strong as some economists predicted it was going to be. when they thought it was going to be closer to 650,000 new jobs added to the economy instead we are at the 560,000 number that you just showed there. so you heard president biden framing this as a sign that he d

he snapped at this question and followup from cnn's kaitlan collins. >> why are you confident he'll change his behavior, mr. president? >> i'm not confident he'll change his behavior. when did i say i was confident? i said -- i said -- what i said was if he changes his behavior the rest of the world reacts to diminishing the world. i'm not confident of anything. i'm stating a fact. >> given his past behavior has not changed and after sitting down with you for several hours he denied involvement in cyber attacks and human rights abuses and refused to say alexi navalny's name. how was that a constructive meeting with president putin? >> if you don't understand that -- >> he left for the airport home but not without saying this to reporters out on the ramp. >> i owe my last questioner an apology. i shouldn't have been such a wise guy with the last answer i gave. anyway, thanks for being here. >> perspective from fiona hill, senior director for european foreign affairs. ms. hill, having been at the 2018 trump putin summit in helsinki, i wonder how you think today's events in geneva compare. >>

kaitlan collins, grateful for the live reporting.ack into studio with our panel, and kaitlan raises key points, number one, the optics do matter, the optics matter, seeing people getting along, seeing people together, meeting after covid, still, as we deal with covid, it's important, but there are -- the daily express quoting the prime minister, biden is a breath of fresh air, oh, baby, what a love. a little -- sours the start of the g-7 summit. margaret, you write about this today in axios. biden's first foreign trip as u.s. president is a carefully managed mix of multilateralism and message discipline, so far. yes, we all know biden isn't trump but trump enjoyed the disruption. he enjoyed criticizing and mocking some of his other leaders, sometimes to their face. sometimes at his press conferences at these meetings. that is different. the question is to what end. >> biden's already finding and has always known it's harder to put things back together than it is to tear them down or to shake them up. so some of the big differences th

and as cnn's kaitlan collins reports for us now, if the budget package is directly linked with roadsridges funding, that infrastructure bill could be a bridge too far. >> investment is going to make -- >> reporter: president biden attempting to salvage the bipartisan infrastructure deal he pushed to the brink. >> i think that the statement was quite lengthy and quite detailed in the president's name. >> reporter: the president and his top aides spent the weekend working to get the deal back on track after it was nearly derailed by his own comments. >> he indicated he refused to sign the infrastructure bill if it was sent to him without his american families plan that. statement upset some republicans. >> reporter: biden's assertion that he wouldn't sign one without the other set off a frenzy among republicans and moderate democrats. >> if only one comes to me, if this is the only thing that comes to me i'm not signing it. it's in tandem. >> the president's other agenda was never linked to the infrastructure effort. >> reporter: biden issuing an extraordinary statement reversing his p

cnn's kaitlan collins is following all the developments from england.aitlyn, the press conference will happen but it will be a little different than how his predecessor handled things. >> reporter: i think it would be a lot different even if they did a joint press conference compared to the one we saw happen three years ago in hel helsinki, of course, president trump famously took president putin at his word when he denied election interference despite trump's own intelligence officials saying, yes, we have concluded that russia did attempt to interfere in that election. it was a stunning moment, one of the many defining moments of trump's presidency, but i think what you're trying to see here is not only the biden administration change the tune of that meeting from what it was three years ago, but they're also changing the format of it. and this appears to be a u.s. side decision, not to hold a joint press conference, and a white house official told reporters earlier they believe that's the best way for them to have president biden convey what happened

first, the summit seen as kaitlan collins traveling with the president joins us from geneva. what are we hearing about the format of the summit? >> i think, anderson, it will be pretty tightly scripted and if you talk to the white house of they've kind of been running through the actual format of it. but the details weren't figured out until today. the white house expected to be negotiating essentially up until the last minute. one thing that is notable is even the arrival, because they say that president putin is going to be the first one to show up to that villa tomorrow. that's notable given he is always noticeably famously late to these kinds of meetings. he even made former president trump wait in helsinki in 2018. once they are both on site we're told they are expected to meet with one staffer each in the room for president biden that will be the secretary of state. for president putin, it will be the russian foreign minister and after they meet and that essentially one on one setting with one other in the room, they will open it up to a few other staffers in the room i

as cnn's kaitlan collins reports. >> reporter: president biden, tightlipped ahead of his second talkthe top-republican negotiator. >> i am going to be having a talk this afternoon. i will be able to report to you after that. >> reporter: biden on the phone with senator shelley moore capito, moomt moments ago as he pushes for a $1 trillion infrastructure deal. >> is the president expecting a counteroffer during this conversation with senator capito today? >> i think the president's expecting they are going to have a discussion. >> biden dropped his demand to immediately raise the corporate-tax rate in hopes of getting the gop onboard. but with republicans voicing opposition to $1 trillion in new spending, it remains to be seen whether a deal will be reached. >> so my advice to the president and the administration, let's reach an agreement on infrastructure. that's smaller but, still, significant. and fully paid for. >> reporter: as washington waits to see if bipartisan broadband is in its future, the president is taking credit for the new jobs report. >> america is finally on the move

our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is covering the president in england right now. tone, the body language during this summit clearly very different than in recent years. >> reporter: almost entirely, wolf. you can even almost see it more in the body language than you can in the public statements that you get from these world leaders, though some of them have said publicly they're grateful for biden's presence, a clear jab at his predecessor. you see the embraces, the handshakes, there are fewer arm crossings and looks of disapproval that we became used to in the trump era. just because they are more diplomatic, does not mean they see eye to eye on everything. face to face diplomacy is back tonight as president biden surrounded himself with other world leaders at the g7 summit. after being forced to meet remotely for a year, it was the first gathering of the four leaders since the covid-19 pandemic. >> it is genuinely wonderful to see everybody in person. i can't tell you what a difference it makes. >> reporter: biden arrived intent on restoring the traditional alli

we are taking steps to address it. >> kaitlan collins, appreciate it. thanks. us now, senator chris murphy, democrat of connecticut. senator murphy, i am wondering, first, what your reaction is? >> my sense is that deal right now has 20 votes, not 60 votes. we are going to have to take a deep dive into the agreement they have reached. and, you know, square it with the needs of our voters. i think many of us have had two concerns. one is that some of the numbers in the bill for hard infrastructure just aren't good enough. let me give you an example of the northeast rail corridor. that's vital to my state of connecticut, getting people on the train back and forth to connecticut and new york and boston. the numbers i have seen in that bill. you know, barely, just fix the things that are broken on the rail line. never mind, actually, decreased-travel times for people. second, in my state, if you fix the roads and the bridges. well, that helps people get to work. but people can't afford childcare. infrastructure is not just asphalt. it's the assistance that many peo

cnn's kaitlan collins is live for us, at the white house.is concerned we're not going to meet that goal. >> yeah. they have basically admitted that they know they're not going to meet it. though, we should note, it was a self-imposed deadline that biden and his aides came up with. but that is part of the reason, you are seeing him making a personal appeal in a state like north carolina. where vaccinations have really stalled. and it's not just north carolina, unfortunately. my home state of alabama is seeing a similar trend. also, in mississippi, where you are just not seeing people get vaccinated. and so, he is going to north carolina. making this appeal. they do have other stops planned for the president and for his top aides to make a similar kind of appeal, as they are trying to get more and more americans vaccinated because, jake, they have noted it's going to take several-more weeks to actually get to that 70% partially-vaccinated goal of u.s. adults he had initially set for july 4th. which, of course, is quickly approaching. so i thin

let's get to kaitlan collins in brussels. >> reporter: that's right, john, i mean, you're already seeing, again, what we saw at the g-7 summit where nato allies are welcoming a president biden presence here instead of president trump who often derided, nato, calling it obsolete and went after them on how much they were spending on defense, of course. something they're seeing new here is the mention of china and this focus of these 30-member nations on a rising china and an an aggressive russia as well. that is the focus of president biden's meeting earlier today where it was just essentially all of the members speaking briefly about their goals while they were here, but this meeting that is going to happen any moment now is another key one to watch because this is one of the biggest bilaterals that president biden is hosting here, with the turkish president erdogan, someone he has only spoken to once since he took office and during that conversation it was so president biden could inform president erdogan he was going to be recognizing the armenian genocide, something that, of course, pa

he snapped at this question and followup from cnn's kaitlan collins. >> what are you so confident he will change his behavior, mr. president? >> i'm not confident he'd change his behavior. what the -- what do you do all the time? when did i say i was confident? i said -- i said -- what i said was -- let's get it straight -- i said what will change their behavior is if the rest of the world reacts and diminishes their standing in the world. i'm not confident of anything. i'm just stating a fact. >> given his past behavior has not changed and in that press conference after sitting down with you for several hours. he denied any involvement in cyberattacks. he downplayed human-rights abuses. even refused to say alexei navalny's name. so, how does that account to a constructive meeting as president -- president putin? >> well having said that, he left for the airport and home. but not without saying this to reporters out on the ramp. >> i owe my last question an apology. i shouldn't have -- i shouldn't have been such a wise guy with the last answer i gave. anyway, thanks for being here. >

kaitlan collins, appreciate it. thanks. from cnn contributor and new yorker staff writer, evan osnos, whose profile of senator manchin runs in next week's edition. evan, your profile of manchin has got a lot of interesting details. but you also really get into the leverage he has over this congress. what do you make of the fact that he is, still, not committing to supporting this voting-rights bill? >> well, this is very much true to form. i mean, here we are down to the wire. at the last-possible moment. you know, over the course of the last few weeks, you have seen him, first, come out and say, emphatically, there is no way he can support this bill. because it doesn't have republican support. he then proposed a compromise, which would -- might, in some ways, appeal to some progressives. but mitch mcconnell and republicans came out, immediately, and said, absolutely no way. and here we are down to this last minute. look. he is in an extraordinary position. when we look back over the last few years, there really hasn't been

joining us is manu raju and kaitlan collins, and kaitlan, first to you. how far have they gotten on negotiations? >> they are still pretty far apart. they are still about three times the new spending that the republicans had in their latest counteroffer. the question is whether they are going to come up and how high they would come up, because the white house said if he's willing to go lower than $1 trillion in the new spending. and what could be the sticking point is how to actually pay for this. what we are told by sources is that in this meeting yesterday president biden did float the idea of foregoing the idea of immediately raising the tax rate from 21% to 28% as he initially put forward because that's something the republicans said they are not onboard with, and the idea that president biden brought this up in the meeting yesterday seems to be an acknowledgment is that they realize the republicans are not going to be getting onboard if they move forward with that plan as to pay for this infrastructure plan. and there's a conversation happening, and

let's get the latest from cnn's chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins of the kaitlan, how israising the stakes for the upcoming summit when president putin? >> you're adding it to the list of the things that president biden is going to press president putin on. on top of the election interference, political prisoners and all these other things that the white house said we should expect biden to bring up when he does sit down with pete-in for the first time as president two weeks from today they say he's going to bring up the latest hackings because they were saying earlier today they don't believe responsible nations harbor groups that conduct attacks like this one and the white house has said they do believe this latest group, this criminal group, is based in russia and so they say it is going to be something that biden does bring up. jake, we also know that the white house has been in touch with the russian government since this hack on the meat processing plant has taken place. it's not clear what the russian response to the white house has been yes. they haven't really de

moderator: kaitlan collins, cnn. reporter: thanks very much. andy, just one quick question to follow up on what you just said. you said that the doses are supposed to be out -- the 80 million -- by the end of july. i just want to confirm that is supposed to be the end of june, right? and then, my other question -- just to follow up on the j&j doses -- you said it's a small fraction that is set to expire, but the wall street journal says it's millions of doses that are set to expire by the end of the month. so, even if these states and these governors are contacting the fda, what is the federal government's plan to make sure that, you know, not even a single dose goes to waste? admin. slavitt: yeah, so i believe you're right about june, but i may have been confused. so we'll get -- we'll make sure that we're straightening that out. the -- look, it's not realistic to expect that not a single dose will go to waste. i would tell you that a very, very small fraction of the doses that have been sent to states, that are in the hundreds of millions, wi
