and i certainly hope the cia and it would be worth pressing director ratcliffe on that point. would in that particular instance, absolutely provide that kind of intelligence. >> you know, it was interesting because the cia director, ratcliffe, also seemed seemed to indicate this pause could be short lived following a letter that president trump says he received from president zelenskyy. here's the president describing that letter revealing the the the letter during his address to congress last night. >> the letter reads ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. nobody wants peace more than the ukrainians, he said. >> do you think this pause was a strategy to get ukraine to the negotiating table? >> certainly. that's what the president has said. that's what the vice president has said. i take them at their word on that. we're going to know in a matter of days, because as president trump just said, the letter from president zelenskyy also said the incident in the white house was regrettable. i think that's pretty close t

director ratcliffe, great to see you this morning. thanks so much for being here. >> great to with you, maria. maria: i want to get your assessment of the speech last night and get into the breaking news the president brought us last night, thanks to the intelligence out of your agency, the cia. >> well, maria, it really was a historic night. president trump only the second president ever to serve nonconsecutive terms as president and the first to overcome the political lawfare against him to imprison him and keep him from returning to office so it was an electric atmosphere. it was great for me as you know, i had the opportunity to serve president trump in his first administration so to return with him to the capital yesterday, to address the nation with a cabinet that is extraordinary, that he has put together to do extraordinary things and watch him outline that for the country was really an amazing opportunity and i think i enjoyed it with all americans. maria: yeah, the majority of americans are also feeling optimistic after that

cia director john ratcliffe says president trump has a, quote, real question about whether ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is committed to the peace process. with us now is cnn national security reporter zachary cohen. what more are you learning about this? >> yeah, guys, it's clear that there's at least a partial pause in the intelligence sharing between the u.s. and ukraine. what's not clear is how far these limitations go. what? how much is that intel being limited? what kind of intelligence is being paused here? it's also not clear how long this pause could remain in place, but trump's cia director, john ratcliffe and national security adviser mike walsh both suggesting that it could be lifted in the short term if the ukrainians demonstrate that they've come further in the negotiation process towards the negotiations to satisfy what they would like to see as far as coming to the table and engaging with russia. now, look, it remains to be seen whether or not ukraine has done enough to satisfy the trump administration's demands on that front. but it's hard to overstate how

jason kikta, john ratcliffe, a bit more detail about that. in an interview with fox business. he says that actually it was military aid and intelligence sharing. remember, that second part is absolutely vital to ukraine that were indeed paused. and he says, i think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, i think will go away. and he's essentially referring to the rapprochement that appeared to build last night. during his speech, president trump said he received a letter from president zelenskyy, which essentially suggested that they were willing to commit to peace to sign the rare earth minerals deal at a time that was convenient to the white house. and trump seemed essentially pleased with the tone of that letter, which had been preceded by a social media statement and a video in which zelenskyy used the word regrettable about the scenes in the oval office, which many ukrainians frankly think were disrespectful towards their president. but ratcliffe statement is interesting because he essentially suggests that the military aid

so on just his second day in office, the cia director, john ratcliffe, telling fox news this morning that he talked to his counterpart in pakistani intelligence and shared intelligence that the cia had, that jafar was present in the afghanistan-pakistan border region, and he effectively told pakistani intelligence, according to ratcliffe, that, look, if you want to have a constructive relationship with president trump and with this administration, you're going to act on this intelligence and find a way to apprehend this guy. you're going to make this a priority. the pakistanis ultimately were able to do that. and he was extradited to the united states and appeared at dulles airport last night, where he was met by ratcliffe, other senior trump administration officials, including the director of national intelligence. tulsi gabbard, the attorney general, pam bondi, and is expected to appear in court today. >> and we'll be watching those proceedings. katie polglase, thank you so much, brianna. >> and joining us now for more on this retired u.s. army brigadier general mark kimmitt. he al

john ratcliff says the you where says paused intelligence sharing with you create the decision, cuts key both from bio information about russian movements on the battlefield. it follows the suspension of old u. s. military, a to key 5 to friday's fractious, oval office meeting between president trump and savanski us national security advisor mike walls was asked about the pause in a press conference as we have uh, we have taken a step back uh and or pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship, just in the last 24 hours sense the public statement from zalinski and then the subsequent conversations, which i'm going to walk inside and continue. i think we're going to see the movement in very short order. moreno around is a military expert of kings college funding. she told us how the loss of u. s. military and intelligence support will change the way ukraine fights this war as well. i think the most critical right now is the lack of intelligence support because it is not something that you're peons can supplement in a sense that us military satellites or satellite capabilitie

i think that director ratcliffe mentioned that was a temporary measure, things could be turned back onorning, the national security adviser, mike waltz, said he had spoken with his part in ukraine with. steve witkoff is working this issue closely with the president as well. so what we're hoping, as mike waltz said, is to get into shuttle diplomacy between the two nations to get to peace, and this is very important, president trump has said he wants to get to a real and lasting peace so that putin doesn't think this is something he can repeat again in a few years. stuart: last night the president announced the capture of the terrorist who planted the abbey gate bomb which killed 13 soldiers, our soldiers, in afghanistan. the pakistan i-s -- pakistanis apparently gave him away. he's on his way to america. what are we going to do with him, put him in gitmo? >> well, i'll leave that up to the state department. he is on his way to face justice which is something the 13 families are owed this. it's unconscionable that the biden administration didn't do this over the four, three and a half ye

the cia director john ratcliffe says president trump had a real question about whether president zelenskyed to the peace process, but indicated military and intelligence suypport but indicated military and intelligence support to ukraine could resume. president trump had a real question about whether president zelensky was committed to the peace process. and he said, "let's pause. i want to give you a chance to think about that." and you saw the response that president zelensky put out a statement saying, "i'm ready for peace, and i want donald trump's leadership to bring about that peace." and so i think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, i think will go away. and i think we'll work shoulder to shoulder with ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that's there. but to put the world in a better place for these peace negotiations to move forward. as those comments around us intelligence sharing with ukraine came out earlier - here in the uk, prime minister sir keir starmer was asked in the house of commons whether the us could

ratcliffe suggesting he thinks it may be restored soon. and then mike waltz, the national security advisor, going a little further and suggesting the pause might be sustained until they have greater clarity that kyiv signs up to specific peace talks. the big question here is the white house have not been specific about what kind of peace they want ukraine to sign up to. is this a general feeling that president trump has about zelenskyy's intentions? is it them signing on to whatever peace the u.s. negotiates with russia ukraine is involved in? at this point, it seems? or is it this european peace plan that appears to be increasingly taking shape at pace, potentially in brussels tomorrow, where zelenskyy will be, and maybe even macron, the french president announced in a meeting next week in paris. a lot of questions to be answered, but all of this leaving, frankly, ukrainians with existential questions about their survival over the next weeks. brianna. >> yeah. understandably so. and zelenskyy's chief of staff says that american and ukrain

ratcliffe called it temporary.t trump is trying to use to create the circumstances for him to forgive ukrainian president zelensky last night, he certainly signaled that the minerals deal is close to being back on. >> regarding the agreement on minerals and security. ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you. i appreciate that he sent this letter, just got it a little while ago. simultaneously, we've had serious discussions with russia and i've received strong signals that they are ready for peace. wouldn't that be beautiful? wouldn't that be beautiful? >> joining us now, nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief washington correspondent andrea mitchell. also with us, andrea kendall taylor, a senior fellow and director of the transatlantic security program at the center for a new american security. she is the former deputy national intelligence officer for russia and eurasia at the national intelligence council. andrea mitchell we just got a little bit of a breaking news report

a white house, suspension of military aid to key of the maria barter romo just as c i a director ratcliffe about this. he tacitly confirmed referred to pause on the military front, on the intelligence front to hold everyone accountable to drive peace around the world. washington currently controls a hugely disproportionate number of 2 satellites. while there have been no formal statements like ukrainian official has into that key of is scrambling to find an alternative military communication system. well as trumpet pushes the landscape to sit down for peace, talks to europe is scrambling to be looped into the ukrainian peace process or parts claim. both the french and u. k. leaders are looking to accompany zalinski on another trip to washington. that says, london's ambassador to the us is urging he have to commit to a csr and quote, the 5 the russians to follow. but other british officials admit there's still no concrete vision for a deal. the research has to consist of the united states and ukraine getting back on the same page and presents the landscape, giving his unequivocal backing to

ratcliff said of progress with ukraine's president zelenskyy since then is encouraging. >> president trump had a real question about president zelenskyy was committed to the peace process. he said let's pause. i want to give you a chance to think about that well on the military front and intelligence front, the pause that allow that to happen i think will go away. shoulder to shoulder with ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that is there. >> harris: all right, i want to go back to the congressman. and lech donald trump style whether man or president, it is if you back away from the deal, we have something else until you come back to the table. so you have aid and intelligence. talk to us about that. >> lets his tone in this conversation. president trump's tone with zelenskyy has literally brought results. he was wavering whether he wants to act for peace. president trump said listen, if you waver, we will not provide shipments, these intelligence and these things and now you see zelenskyy coming to the table. what are other results? you have u.k. stepping up saying we

. >>> cia director john ratcliffe saying today the u.s. paused intelligence support and weapons shipments to ukraine. ukrainian president zelenskyy posting on social media he'scommitth committed to peace. in his address to congress last night, trump quoted a letter he said he received from zelenskyy saying the ukrainian leader is ready to come to the negotiating table. president trump could unveil trade deals with mexico and canada as soon as today. according to commerce secretary speaking to fox business, he says the deals probably won't mean pausing the 25% tariffs on mexico and canada that started yesterday, a source says trump and the canadian prime minister are talking today and vice president j.d. vance is set to visit the southern border. >>> well, did you see it? president donald trump gave his vision for his second term before a congress that is very divided. tension from the very first moments mr. trump touching on things that he ran on. immigration, national security, and the economy. really working to appeal to his base and at

today we had. >> john ratcliffe. >> mike waltz. >> saying that. they'd cut off. >> the intelligence partnership. >> there had. >> been some doubts. >> some officials wanted. >> to gradually. >> ratchet up the pressure. >> others just. >> wanted more out of zelensky. >> i mean. but make no. >> mistake. >> this is the trump administration. >> pressuring the. >> ukrainians to agree to their terms on the minerals. >> deal, on their approach to peace. >> which is. >> different than the european approach. >> which is different. >> than the. ukrainian approach. >> director brennan, what is the consequence for ukraine's ability to prevail or to continue to fight? >> it's potentially devastating. u.s. support. to ukraine to confront russian aggression has many different components to it. there are the weapons. there's the munitions. the munitions. te logistical support and the. technical systems that. empower those capabilities. >> there's also. >> a military advice and guidance. >> and then there's intelligence. >> intelligence is the lifeblood. >> that g

however, we also heard the cia director, john ratcliffe, say that that could be lifted soon. but listen to what walt said on fox news this morning. >> we have taken a step back and are pausing. >> and. >> reviewing all aspects of this relationship, but i just got off the phone before i walked out here with my counterpart, the ukrainian national security advisor. we are having good talks on location for for the next round of negotiations on delegations. on substance, i think we're going to see movement in very short order. >> he said he thinks there will be movement in very short order and apologies. that was actually him talking to me and other reporters this morning. but look, this does follow some reporting that my colleague zach cohen and i sent out yesterday just before the speech, which is that in the days after that oval office dustup between the president and zelenskyy, i we know that trump administration officials, top officials, people like keith kellogg have been in contact with zelenskyy and other ukrainian officials saying you need to get talks back on track. and

. >> we should note we're also hearing from the cia director, john ratcliffe, who says on the military aid and intelligence front, he thinks that those pauses will soon be lifted, noting that they are seeing some positive signs. in the words of mike wallace. after zelensky posted that statement yesterday on x shared a letter that donald trump revealed yesterday saying that ukraine is ready for peace at this time. this does appear to be part of a negotiating process that the white house is using to try to strike that deal with ukraine and ultimately with russia as well. >> and simone, i mean, this comes reason. yes. >> i was going to say that i think what you're beginning to see are the brits and the french telling zelensky, maybe, perhaps they'll even accompany him to washington and zelensky will sign something. but i think yet to be determined is what's the security guarantee going to be? are the french and the brits enough to do things on the ground with troops? what does he want? maybe more arms, more stash for the ukrainians to be able to defend themselves? it looks as though they

cia director john ratcliffe and national security adviser mike waltz both confirmed that today, withdescribing what it would take to make president trump reconsider. >> i think if we can. >> nail down these negotiations. >> and move towards these negotiations. >> and. >> in fact, put some confidence building. >> measures on the table. >> then the president. >> will take. >> a hard look. >> at. lifting this pause. >> and. then get back on the peace. process to try to. >> we have to know that we're we have to know that. both sides are sincerely negotiating towards a. >> partial, then permanent peace. >> jane harman is a former democratic congresswoman from california, chair of the commission on national defense strategy, and former president and ceo at the woodrow wilson center. it's good to see you, congresswoman. when you couple this with the pause in military aid, what's the impact? well, hopefully it's for a short period, but that period could have a catastrophic impact on ukraine to be clear, the united states in particular has been working through a site in wiesbaden, germany, ca

and after director ratcliffe came out and said this this morning, then the national security advisor, waltz, also doubled down and confirmed it as well. so this is a question we've had all week, ever since we found out on monday that the trump administration had paused or halted all weapons and equipment shipments that were going to ukraine. now, we found out from a defense official that, in fact, there were actually weapons en route and equipment en route to ukraine, to the region on monday, when they got the order at 6 p.m. to stop those weapons. now, we are learning again today that the intelligence sharing has also stopped. but katie, here's a critical difference here. the intelligence may not be coming for now between the united states from directly from the united states to ukraine. but the u.s. still shares intelligence with other allies, and those allies have only stepped up their commitment and they're they're sharing an equipment with ukraine. since the united states has been stepping back in the last several weeks. so the question is, is u.s. collected information actually

cia director john ratcliffe this morning said the pause could be temporary. >> so i think on the militarynt, the pause that that allowed. >> that. >> to happen, i think will go away and i think we'll work shoulder to shoulder with ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that's there. but to put those comments after president trump seemed open to getting peace talks back on track in his speech last night. joining us now is nbc news senior national security correspondent courtney qb and evelyn farkas, former assistant secretary of defense and executive director of the mccain institute. so, courtney, presidents seem willing to, i guess, move forward on that joint venture on on minerals in ukraine. but the pause on military aid and intelligence sharing is now in place. is there a dichotomy there? >> no. i mean, look, the reality is the us was still sending weapons. they were flowing weapons and equipment into ukraine. still. in fact, a u.s. defense official told us that when the order came down monday night, about 6 p.m. eastern time, that there was actually aid that was en route to

the letter that president trump revealed last night that he got from president zelenskyy, director ratcliffe said today that the president has paused also, intelligence sharing with ukraine. is that temporary or is that permanent? >> i believe what the national security council told me in regards to that was that they paused or they are reconsidering. um, the, the funding for ukraine, as you saw the pause on the funding. as for intelligence matters, i would refer you to either the national security council or the cia as well. >> they're considering. >> lifting the or reinstating the military aid going to ukraine, which they paused again. >> it's a pause for a review. >> my sources tonight, both members of the problem solvers caucus, democrat from new york, congressman tom suozzi, and a republican from pennsylvania, congressman brian fitzpatrick. it's great to have you both here, and it's great for our audience to hear from people. you obviously have traveled extensively to ukraine. you've spoken to ukrainian officials, as all of this has been going on since the blowup last friday. are they c

even in the morning after that, the cia director, john ratcliffe, announced that intelligence sharing had been paused. suggestions it might be started. but national security advisor mike waltz said he wanted to see more commitment to negotiations from zelenskyy. the real question for ukraine is what exactly is the peace process they're being asked to sign up to? is it the u.s. russia one being negotiated without them? is it what the europeans are trying to put together that has ukraine involved, or is it a more general feeling from trump's inner circle that zelenskyy is more on their side? the intelligence sharing is so vital on top of the departure of military aid, the days in which they lose this information cost ukrainian lives. and just now, zelenskyy's hometown, hit by a ballistic missile. the kind of thing that patriot missiles supplied by the u.s. would stop and at least two dead and many other injured. phil. >> nick. there's a big european defense summit in brussels. zelenskyy is set to attend tomorrow. you've been doing a ton of reporting about basically foreign officials, eu

trump's cia director, john ratcliffe, says that he raised that issue with his pakistani counterpart in the very first few days on the job, and now this suspect is on his way to the u.s. to to arrive in the u.s. tomorrow morning, where he will face charges with providing and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. we should note this that he was released from a prison in afghanistan. this is important, erin. just two weeks before the abbey gate attack. and that's notable because it shows the results of the chaos of that withdrawal. right. you had many hundreds, thousands of prisoners being released during that time as the government was collapsing. here is one of them. and he contributed to that attack that killed so many, so many on that day, including 13 u.s. service members. >> yeah, and obviously, so much we don't know is, you know, exactly why they're bringing him back, as opposed to whether they, you know, would have killed him in the field. i mean, there's a lot of questions about this that i know we're going to be finding out over these next few hours. all right, j

and again, you had cia director john ratcliffe saying that it was going to just be temporary.republican senators coming out, ted cruz, this war should come to an end in a way that is clear and unequivocal loss for the russians and a loss for putin. murkowski i'm sick to my stomach about this. john thune, no question who started the war. russia is the aggression aggressor here. i could go down all of this. cramer, senator cramer saying trump is factually wrong to label zelensky a dictator, rounds senator rounds. clearly, ukraine needs our support. and i think the vast majority of us are very supportive of ukraine. they are the ones being attacked. i could go on and on and on. there are some things that donald trump can continue doing that are sustainable. i somehow think not supporting zelensky in favor of putin is not something he can continue for very long, given the republicans opposition in the united states senate. your thoughts? well, joe, i think that is really the question. and you're right, the meeting that that disastrous meeting on friday in the oval office seems to
