find a way for these leaders. 15 of them costs the leaders of, of the you plus the secretary general of nato, meeting it about 3 hours from now. now i think the u. k. position the u. k. prime interest has been giving an interview to the bbc. and the last couple of as saying how uncomfortable he was watching, what transpired those extraordinary scenes in the oval office that position is they want to try and get this back on track. they want to try and persuade president trump to talk to the selected sky again. and try and get the plan that they had in place back on track. that's the preference that talking about trying to get security guarantees for you crying. we've had took off the u. k. and the french potentially sending some troops to ukraine. if the us is supported of this idea and provides a back stop full, those troops in the event of this old going very badly wrong. but i think those would be discussions about what happens if they comp well with the u. s. and they're a real questions about the future, the transatlantic alon. some even saying that when they took meats in the netherland

london today meeting with britain's prime minister, he received a phone call from the if secretary-general of nato who implored zelenskyy to make up with president trump and the administration. also said a few weeks ago in brussels that today russia's making more ammunition in three months than the entire nato alliance makes in a year. and, griff everything one more. -- griff, one more. each year the americans make ooh 50,000 rounds, the russians, 250,000 rounds. griff: lucas tomlinson live in west palm beach, thank you. ♪ griff: in a a more than 3-hour sit-down with joe rogan, elon musk touted doge's push to the cut government spending which he says will save the country tens of billions of dollars a year. madeleinely very or rah is here live with more on set. maddie, it was a marathon podcast. >> reporter: yeah, this was rate wide-ranging, and they talked about a bunch of topics, but we'll be talking about what doge has been doing. in his conversation, elon musk defended the work of doge saying inefficiency within the federal government is worse than he thought. while he says some projects appea

tomorrow, so everyone from france to germany to norway, switzerland, canada, we know the secretary general of nato will be there, officials from turkey. and the point of this meeting is to try and discuss how they are going to come together to try and defend ukraine in the event that russia were to try to invade again after supposed peace deal that they hope will be signed. but the big question here is, is that possible? could they do that without the support of the united states? >> that's going to be the big question. okay. megan fitzgerald in london, thank you so much for that. let's head back stateside and go to nbc's yamiche alcindor, who's at the white house. welcome to you. what are we hearing from president trump and the administration in the aftermath of all this yesterday? >> well, after this extraordinary confrontation in the oval office, president trump and white house officials are doubling down, saying that president zelensky disrespected the oval office and that he was really someone who was not coming here and interested in peace. the president also said after the meeting that that

billion of air defense missiles, and there were new announcements, according to the secretary general of nato. mark rutte, in private from countries about increasing defense spending. so there were concrete actions there. the bottom line europe is clearly committed to stepping into the breach, essentially picking up some of the slack for the u.s., while at the same time really trying to keep the u.s. on side. this is, of course, a plan that they're working on that they will present to the u.s. but of course, none of that solves the animosity that we see mounting in the united states towards president zelenskyy, including, of course, calls for him to consider resigning. and he addressed that in comments on sunday. >> if i. >> am to be changed. >> and i'll. >> hear, how can i put it with what's happening with the support, it will not be easy because it is not enough to simply hold elections. you would have to prevent me from participating in the elections and it will be a bit more difficult. you will have to negotiate with me and i said that i am exchanging it for nato membership, and then it m

i mean, and the secretary general of nato over the weekend saying that it was important that the united states get back into their communication and i guess alliance with zelensky and ukraine. but, evelyn, the whole issue of nato and, you know, an article five that is something that it seems that there's almost a difference there between the united states under president trump and all of nato europe. >> yes. and that's why you hear, i think i'm not sure which european leader it was, but they've talked about different structures, the need for a new security mechanism that would include the, you know, the well, i guess it was the united kingdom, basically the prime minister said. >> he needs also kind of backed that as well. yeah, in a way. >> yeah. so it would include those european countries that are willing and also and inside the eu as well as the united kingdom and maybe others, maybe, maybe some of the east asian countries would be willing to also contribute militarily because they know that president xi is watching this. and i want to just make one other point, because, jose, i fee

russia right now is pumping out more missiles in 1 month than the entire nato alliance those of 1 year. this is secretary generalistration i was served as an intelligence officer, nato in 2013 just prior to months of putin's invasion of crimea i explained at the classified level putin's plans of intention. russia's war fighting strategy and yet nobody bothered. neither pentagon nor at nato, nobody bothered to beef up and to develop a counter strategy to putin's playbook. that is why putin is going to proceed, destroying ukraine and president trump recognizes it. he just wants to force it piece by any possible means. he does not deserve that criticism. zelenskyy is that miniature pollution. he's a bad actor to pretty took us to the cleaners. knowing the source unwinnable. >> if ukraine comment some peace deal and i am sort of making this out. i for peace deal required to give up and let russia keep the territory that they have already invaded, would you see that as an acceptable end to this conflict? >> putin is going to insist on every single requirement that he has put out there. he kept saying ukraine membersh

>> you have elon musk, who is an unelected official of this administration now out here pushing that we leave nato. >> all right. the secretary generalst arrived. >> the secretary general just. arrived in this conversation in london. your assessment of, as a member of congress, of what you witnessed and what what you think the next posture of this government of the united states should be. because clearly, the government is going in one direction. i still sense the american people are not necessarily moving in that direction. >> well, i think that's right. and look, i think what we saw was shameful and horrible, right? the supposed leader of the free world siding with an autocrat over democracy and over the sort of order that has kept the peace in europe since before any of us were born. even you, michael. thank you. >> way before i was born. >> and so, you know, i think that i think that it's important that we speak up and talk about the importance of this alliance, this nato alliance, why we're helping ukraine, because it's not just about ukraine, right. it's about standing up for democracy everywhere. and i think it's also importa

french, the italians, the norwegians, the swedish, the finns, a whole host of leaders coming, as well as the nato secretary general. here's zelenskyy has a broader audience. and the nato secretary general, for example, has said, look, zelenskyy, you need to kind of remake that relationship with president trump. you need to remake that relationship with senior figures within within the white house. so there will be an undercurrent of that narrative. but the reality here, and this is what starmer is talking about in advance of the meeting, is there are immediate needs right now. they need these leaders need to make sure that military and economic support going to ukraine is maintained, irrespective of what happens from the united states, that there is in the future, security guarantees that there is a process to a realistic and lasting peace that can be put in place. so that will be the focus. but i think what we'll be looking for at the outcome is what is the outreach. then back towards the white house. is it a collective thing from these european leaders? is it what the italian prime minister has suggested she wan

the turkish foreign minister, nato secretary general and the presidents of the european commission andopean council will also attend. the italian prime minister, giorgia meloni, has already come here to downing street and met sir keir starmer. he told her they approach the issue of the war in ukraine with a "very similar mindset". ms meloni said it is "very important to talk to each other". talking about the summit, she said: "we are all very committed about a goal that we all want to achieve, which is a just and lasting peace in ukraine. i think it is very, very important that we avoid the risk that the west divides. i think on this the uk and italy can play an important a role in bridge—building." this morning, sir keir spoke to the bbc live on sunday with laura kuenssberg — he was asked for his reaction to what happened in the oval office on friday between president donald trump clearly, you know, there's a lot of tension. the cameras were on. nobody wants to see that. but i spoke to president trump. i spoke to president zelensky. obviously, we then had president zelensky to downing

in the sense of whether russia is generally widely threatened by nato. ecifically to the enlargement most recent in finland to. finland and russia have a border of around 1300 kilometers to. for and then in 2023 and that effectively doubled russia supporter with nato. and russia's response, putin's personal response was to say i don't mind i have no problem with this. and since finland joint prenatal lines russia has actually withdrawn the vast majority of its troops from that border. i think it is quite clear from russians actions that putin understands perfectly while nato is not a threat to russia itself. what makes it... is an obstacle to russia pulling and its neighbors. so the question really for all western countries and the united states is that legitimate? should we concede the sphere of influence to russia or not to? >> will: i appreciate how you separated that out to. you acknowledged that russians would see a need to expansion as a threat but you argued that it should not see that expansion as a threat to. we can talk about that not just in uk

of the strongest. because otherwise no free country can sweep peacefully annual which has a stronger neighbour. nato. a secretary general mackwood, who is a painting for com, following the hated terms of lensky exchange. he says, he reminded the ukrainian president why repairing the relationship is vital. what? okay, so let's what i said to zalinski is look at what trump has done in the best. for example, he made those demos available on the 2019. the queen had no chance to against the russians at february 2022 because you have had given nothing. it's all came from america, from the trump presidency. so he should give him the credit for doing that and find a way to resolve that together again, as a member of people in ukraine are running around the president after the encounter of the oval office. very shock, anger, and fear about the possible fall out of that meeting on the war with russia. child stratford, right? for some cage. a military recruitment post is everywhere in the ukrainian capital. the armies drive for mobile soldiers may have just got more urgent of to watch happened at the white house. right now you liv

anybody who has the ear of donald trump more than vladimir putin. >> so the nato. >> secretary general. has been since trump's first term supportive of him, was very early to say that trump was right. europeans should be paying more for their defense. trump is said to like him and to get along well with him. and he's been leading the argument. mr. president, you need to have a strong and sustainable peace agreement. otherwise it's going to blow up on you. it's going to come back to haunt you during your term. so i think is with keir starmer the key person as an interlocutor? trump badly wants this peace agreement. he campaigned on it. he said he'd get it done quickly. and as things begin to splinter after the catastrophe in the oval office, you know away it's trump who's embarrassed because he's not able to deliver on what he promised. he may blame zelensky, but that but that misses the point that that he won't get the deal done. >> david ignatius, thank you so much. there was an emotional moment of remembrance sunday as figure skating icons took to the ice in washington, d.c, honoring

of the latest is some cooling to re on europe. so yeah, that's right tom, i'm in the nato secretary general, not route today speaking just a short distance away from me. i've just run back from the listening to the beginning of what he was saying, and he says has that off quite a number of european nations now prepared to step up to take part in security guarantees. if there is a seesaw, of course, he's in a difficult position here, wearing a nato hat because he represents the countries here. but he also, one of the, the most important nato. remember by far off is the united states, and the us is knows that this meeting, i'm one of the reasons this meeting has been cold is because the nations here are so concerned about the transatlantic alons. i'm so concerned about what the us will do with regard to the future of ukraine. it's interesting when the presidency, european commission, us live on the line, spoke to reports, as she said, there were 2 priorities. one, providing those security guarantees, european countries being involved in that. but the of the was your spending so much more on each defense urgency have to read on 0. and for t

of behavior. and i would fully expect that he gets what he wants, which is a weaker nato if we retreat. and a general retrenchment of the united states from european security. and the other winner out of this, of course, would be china and other adversaries. china has been watching what the united states, europe and ukraine do on the battlefield for the last three years and are very keenly interested in seeing a weaker security architecture there because a weaker, weaker arrangement there is weaker in other regions as well. >> caroline is here. and my gosh, thanks so much for the conversation. appreciate it. next, the return of the doge questionnaire. who got it this questionnaire. who got it this time? we're back in 90s. sometimes sweat just hits you out of nowhere. oh, yes, it does. but secret whole body dry feel deodorant absorbs all that delightful sudden sweat everywhere. everywhere, everywhere? oh yeah, it's aluminum free and keeps you 72 hour fresh. even my ob recommends it. amazing. because all this random sweat is making me smell like a teenage boy. that's not us anymore. with secret, we don

zelensky, but also the potential of cutting off military and financial aid to ukraine, which by all accounts, you have heard from the un, from the nato secretary general to every european leader. the magnitude of the consequence without having the us engaged financially and in these talks. but i think it's notable what is taking place in the oval office right now is president trump is been asked very specifically about what it would take to bring president zelensky back to the table, and he said that he wants him to be more appreciative. and when he was asked for a second time just about a minute ago about the comments from the kremlin spokesperson that said that the trump administration has a more globally aligned vision with them than previous administration. president trump again sidestepped this, saying that they need to bring this war to a close. but clearly he has a very different vision of what that looks like and how to go about that compared to the message that is being delivered by european leaders who met directly with president zelensky over the weekend. >> so just a moment ago when, while we were talking, donald trump says he's not talked

of a european security summit in london on sunday. it will focus on european support for ukraine. speaking to bbc news, nato�*s secretary generalaid but mark rutte said he had spoken to volodymyr zelensky in the fa cups, in lower division championships, it is tricky. because i said ok, maybe have the qualities individually like a private league, but what they do they do really well. and when they can apply and do better than we want to do... we are in trouble. it cannot get bigger, at manchester city dominated the premier— manchester city dominated the premier league for the last seven— premier league for the last seven or— premier league for the last seven or eight years, so it truly— seven or eight years, so it truly feels like something to very— truly feels like something to very big _ truly feels like something to very big and it really feels also — very big and it really feels also like a reward. we are going _ also like a reward. we are going to _ also like a reward. we are going to try to enjoy this, we said — going to try to enjoy this, we said it — going to try to enjoy this, we said it before, liverpool is a in less t

he's a retired air force general who knows what america means to nato. >> america's the leader of thedy can stand up to russia and china if we're not a part of that. and ukraine is the victim. and putin has made clear he wants to re-establish his old borders. that's not in our national security interest. to me, this is a national security issue. also a moral issue. >> reporter: would you say that donald trump is appeasing vladimir putin? >> it appears that way. i can't get into his motives. i don't know his motives. some think he's doing this for negotiating and maybe get a better deal. i don't know. all i know is what he says and he says that russia is not the invader, that's ukraine's fault, that's just wrong. >> reporter: is there danger in this? >> yep, there is. i fear what this means, we've had -- we came out of world war ii, you know, the dominant power, the indispensable country for freedom. we had nato. and i worry that this framework is going to collapse. >> reporter: when the united states sided with russia and north korea at the united nations, what message did that send?

of nato. because why do you go as an organization when there was stop, general idea, a logical divide between its members. and trump pretty is not going to back down because he spoke to the lensky like stopped off the hosting. so smart cro on stomach in the white office. so that bids and requests and die and continued loyalty to key up and potentially even sending a peace keeping commission fast fell on deaf ears. so what we saw in the oval office it as much signals, the demise of your lunch system, as it does the demise of the landscape, the golden boy status. yeah, and he says he earlier, you mentioned the rest of minerals and we know that as people went there for vac deal. well how much did i do? well, looks to be that in the world to me, they've been hashing out the details of that deal for weeks. and finally, we got to a point where washington was tramps and because they were going to recoup some of the war investment she of was also know triumphant bus. okay. it was willing to sign on because they managed to tweak some of those a crippling times, which had been initially all set. everyo

within nato, two thirds of countries have hit that 2% spending target, but still a number of countries haven't. and of course, we're hearing from the u.s. and and from nato leadership in general. the secretary general mark rutte will be here today that the 2% target in itself is outdated, that we need to be looking for countries to spend beyond that. so they will be facing also the longer term issues of how they manage european security, perhaps with a much less committed united states. >> all right. we appreciate all that. clare sebastian live in london. thanks so much. meanwhile, the white house is calling friday's diplomatic disaster a win for donald trump. a number of white house officials have been praising president trump's conduct during the chaotic meeting in the u.s., national security advisor compared president zelenskyy to a disgruntled ex-girlfriend. listen to this. >> he's clearly. >> solely focused on. >> believing he needs to fact. >> check. and correct every nuance. you know, it's like a it's like a, you know, a ex-girlfriend that wants to argue, you know, everything that you said nine years ago, rather than moving the relationship forward. >> among members of

kingdom, ready to put boots on the ground, the president of france, emmanuel macron ready to put boots on the ground, the nato secretary-generalout broader security guarantees, this could have been and should have been a positive moment for ukraine. then we go to further negotiating with the russians, bring this war to a end, move the world forward and stop the death and destruction, what became clear and what has the president so frustrated and angry is that it is not clear that zelenskyy truly wants to stop the fighting. he came and even though he was warned not to determine to litigate all that in front of the entire world and the vice president said enough is enough, the president said enough is enough and i got to tell you this was the wrong approach, wrong time in history and the wrong president to try to do this kind of thing, this is not joe biden, this is donald trump in the entire world saw that crystal clear. peter:when you explained to zelenskyy he was leaving the white house without lunch are that important signing did he look surprised? did he seem to recognize what had happened? >> no, he didn't. his team did. h

situation with their heads in their hands and a deep sense of existential fear for what it means for their country. now where next? well, nato secretary general mark rutte has said today in an interview that he thinks zelenskyy has to mend his relationship with the american president and with his inner circle senior american officials. that is really the only way ahead. i think most european officials who will be tomorrow in london, a significant number of european powers, pretty much all of nato outside of the u.s. and canada, from what we can see, reading the list of attendees, they are obviously working at bolstering ukraine's immediate support and the possibility of trying to assist them in the event of a peacekeeping mission being needed. but most european nations accept that the idea of confronting russia on the battlefield without u.s. support is something they've never really had to configure themselves for, so urgent hopes that this can be remedied. keir starmer, the uk prime minister, spoke to both trump and zelenskyy yesterday as zelenskyy spoke to french president emmanuel macron. the phones are obviously hot, but we don't have at

there are still one third of nato countries that don't spend that 2% target on defense. so you're going to be hearing from nato secretary general, who will clearly be pushing that line, pushing for more action from european countries as they really look to step up and take more responsibility for their own security. in the face of this new stance, this new set of policies from the united states. >> all right. appreciate that. clare sebastian live in london. and cnn's matthew chance is in moscow with a look at how russian officials are reacting. >> well, the kremlin. >> has been tight lipped about the spectacle that unfolded in the oval office. but reactions from other russian officials are essentially supportive of trump and his vice president. that president zelenskyy alone was was disrespectful. the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said she was surprised that trump and vance didn't slap him. a senior russian official said it was brilliant that zelenskyy had kicked out the white house, and a key russian envoy called the spat a historic. i believe that very public fallout between the u.s. and ukraine represents a sea change

nato secretary general, mark rutte, is saying zelenskyy needs to fix his relationship with u.s. president trump and his senior circle. so starmer here is very clearly trying to remind ukraine and the rest of the world that what happened in the oval office is probably, i think it's fair to say, an aberration rather than how the rest of the western world views ukraine. and we will see tomorrow large numbers of european nations turning up for this key meeting, which was meant to be about capitalizing upon the success of french president emmanuel macron and keir starmer, visits to washington to drag trump and his administration back into the european security orbit. odd that we even have to suggest that that was ever in doubt. it's been such a plank of european security for 80 years. and so tomorrow, i think there will be messages trying to suggest that europe feels it wants to back ukraine, regardless of the outcome of zelenskyy trying to fix his relationship with president trump. i have to say there are doubts within europe about what it can effectively do without the backstop, as they say. but really, the logistical and heft, logistical might and the heft of the united states. that's a key
