will cross a certain line in terms of punishing russia for the treatment of alexi navalny. they saw the sanctions leveed at the kremlin as a result of the poisoning as being not super official but let's say symbolic and understand that president biden has to stand on that stage and has to take a very serious tone and has to lecture about human rights but they don't believe the u.s. would go much further than that in a worst-case scenario where alexi navalny dies and we know from putin's behavior on a host of different issues that how it appears on the world stage is not necessarily something that overly concerns him. if anything, he appears to have embraced this sort of a arch villain reputation where he denies these things but on the other hand he somehow appears to not endorse it but certainly find it amusing when asked on the nbc news interview about the lists of political prophone inno -- proponents of his who died he started laughing. i don't think there is a sense anything is going to change in terms of putin's treatment of alexi navalny based on what happened today.

not in any way worse to anybody else who happened to be prisoner. >> his name is alexi navalny.ll know that you -- >> dointi don't care. i don't care. >> reporter: there you heard it. i don't care. this is shaping up to be something of an awkward confrontation with both of the leaders drawing their line in the sand on the issue of navalny. >> how are nato allies responding to biden's meeting with putin? >> reporter: well, you heard the president saying that everybody is very positive about it. that everybody he spoken to had come forward and said they were very glad that he was going to deliver a tough message to p putin. i think that's the most important thing. there are member states that wanted to hear an assurance from president biden that it was going to be a stern message and that he did have the back of other nato member allies. some of whom view russia as an existential threat. >> you have some exclusive reporting about russian mercenaries in the central african republic facing multiple allegations of war crimes including torture, rape and murder. what else did you learn

and he would not let alexi navalny who was on death's door, to go to the hospital. we have achieved something because navalny is alive. i think what comes out is president biden will deliver the message that accelerating, reckless russian foreign policy that including all of the things you have reported on, right? all of the way to these ranso ransomware. they're holding americans without any just cause. and so the list goes on, right? so the reality is that if president biden can make it clear to president putin that there is consequences for ongoing behavior we can reestablish the deterrents. i don't think it is going to happen and on arms control sure they say they'll talk with us. it is part of tells us why the military doctrine is dangerous. but the reality is that i don't think those things are going to really happen. >> we're going to talk more about putin biden then versus putin and biden now. but when you look at the way that past presidents dealt with putin, there is different strategies. they talked about bill clinton's relationship with putin was short an

why haven't you sanctioned russia, again, for poisoning alexy navalny? are more sanctions coming?rtant for your viewers to understand that we have sanctioned russia for the poisoning of alexy navalny. we didn't just do it by ourselves. we rallied allies in a joint effort to impose use on russia and chemical agent against one of their citizens on russian soil. we are preparing another package of sanctions to apply in this case as well. we've shown all along the way we're not going to pull punches whether it's on solar winds, election interference, or navalny, when it comes to responding to russia's harmful activities. the president took the extraordinary step of signing a new executive order that gives him expanded authority when it comes to sanctions for russia's harmful activities in the future. >> so that is coming soon? >> so we will take a backseat to no one. it will come as soon as we develop the packages to ensure we're getting the right targets. when we do that, we will impose further sanctions with respect to chemical weapons. >> president biden also decided not to impose

and don't forget confronting vladimir putin who he'll meet next week at the center of news with alexi navalny and the political movement. if that sounds like a lot, there is the small matter as the presidencys it of saving democracy. >> i believe we're at an inflection point in world history. the moment where it falls to us to prove that democracies will not just endure but they will excel as we rise to seize the enormous opportunities in the new age. we have to discredit those who believe that the age of democracy is over as some of our fellow nations believe. >> so there is that. and there is everything back home stalled legislation on infrastructure, police reform, voting rights and investigating the insurrection that's let's not forget was barely five months ago. as he's prepping for the g 7 and nato summit, russia summit and the rest, he's left the chief of staff behind in washington to deal with congress and said to be working the phones himself. so plenty to get to tonight on both sides of the atlantic. let's start off with cnn kaitlan collins. how much is this trip about the nitty gri

including the jailing of alexi navalny. joe biden outlined why the relationship between the u.s. and russia is different than the cold war and why cooperating is in russia's interest. >> i think the last thing he wants now is a cold war. without quoting him which i don't think it is -- i don't think is appropriate. you have a multi 1000 dollar board with china. they are hell-bent on election, seeking to be the most powerful economy in the world. we need to move it in an aggressive way. i don't think he is looking for a cold war with united states. >> the u.s. president says he believes vladimir putin is a killer. vladimir putin was asked what he thinks of the u.s. president. here's what he said. >> if you ask me what type of person i think president biden is, i can say that he is a constructive peon, well-balanced and experienced, a seasoned politician and i expected that. he recalled his family and conversations he had with his mother. these things don't have something to do with our business directly but nevertheless, it shows his qualities and his moral values -- it is all app

in this case russian distant alexi navalny. >> navalny's death would be another indication that russia has little or no intention of abiding by basic fundamental human rights. it would be a tragedy. it would do nothing but hurt his relationships with the rest of the world in my view and with me. >> while the words the president used may be striking commentary, it is imagery from the meeting that may send the greater message embracing allies strengthening old bonds, talking out the importance and history of the nay to alliance and a sce with the previous president who shoved past the prime minister of a small you areuropean count sending an unmistakable message to allies and adversaries alike. i'm joined by clarissa ward. it's hard to over state how different all of this seems. i mean, the united states, president biden warning about phony populism as he calls it the kcriticism of vladimir puti. i wonder what the reaction is among u.s. allies. >> reporter: the reaction is exceptionally positive from those 29 other nato member states. the spanish prime minister calling joe biden's electi

alexi navalny has called for fair elections. but they are outlawed and he is jailed. so my question, what are you so afraid of? >> once more, let me reiterate what was already said about various so-called foreign agents. and about people who are positioning themselves as being nonsystemic opposition. i answered your colleague from cnn. but this is the law so i have to answer your question. i will do it again. the united states has adopted a law in accordance of which the u.s. has said that they will support various political organizations in russia. at the same time they made an announcement that the russian federation is an enemy. they have spoken publicly saying they will restrain the development of russia. here is a question. what political organizations of the united states and other members of the western community, which organizations should be supported in russia? we are just like the americans did back in the '30s, we call them foreign agents. they are not prohibited from working. they don't need to stop operating. if they are extremist, that is another thing.

on wednesday, he had an nbc news interview where he denied any role in the poisoning of alexi navalnyd what he was doing, crackdown on political dissent with the capitol riots from january 6, which will be seen as a provocative statement, as well as cyberattacks. if president biden was hoping to get something done in this meeting, perhaps get the russian president to agree to tone down the bellicose rhetoric or actions, i don't see how any progress will be made, given the tone coming from the kremlin, and also the white house, the meeting. -- ahead of the meeting. it seems like an opportunity for confrontation. amanda: be asleep -- obviously, a change tone from the prior administration. >> you have heard european leaders echoing that sentiment. some the european leaders have also suggested they want to wait and see what happens, still some tensions over in paris. overall, tensions about whether this change in tone will last. amanda: so good to have you with us, jordan fabian. we are standing by for those live press conferences from brussels. that is all for bloomberg markets. ♪ in bus

is he going to raise the issue of the poisoning and jailing of alexi navalny? he's going to raise all the international human rights, the attempted murder of a dissident, very much falls under that preview. and president putin has said, this is off limits. we're not going to be discussing internal domestic russian political affairs. but we've heard from the white house, it doesn't matter whether he wants to talk about it, this will be raised. what does that achieve? where does that conversation go? what are the openings here? and, you know, as we heard today, cnn's matthew chance spoke to putin's press secretary and he said, listen, the reason for this entire summit is that relations are in such a poor state that really this meeting needs to happen in order to ensure that things do not degrade any further. so it may be that really at its core, this is a summit which is designed not to deliver anything tangible or positive, but just to prevent things from deteriorating further, trying to find possibly some common areas that the two countries can work together on

one other thing we should note about that political prisoner alexi navalny sitting in jail in russia now when asked if he made sure he would not die, putin said he could not commit to that and would not say his name. saying he didn't care what his name was. president biden said if he did die in prison, it would be a sign vladmir putin didn't care about human rights at all. we know the white house said that will a topic. russian said they do not plan for it to be one. >> he was choosing his words so carefully what he said about putin before this meeting. on that he didn't hold back. thanks so much. stick around. we'll have larger discussion here. he says he wants the look for areas where he and putin can cooperate together. he said he would also quote make it clear what the red lines are. past presidents have tried this. how will biden's approach be different? how will he be more effective from past presidents? >> if you think about the immediate past president, he isn't in putin's pocket in the way trump was. he was will be tougher. he's going to believe what america says about russi

especially from alexi navalny.inistration being soft on russia, you know, the outcome when it comes to the biden administration is almost certainly going to be some angry language or some very stern talking to from the president i don't really expect anything to come out of it that is going to encourage any of who believe that america ought to be pushing back stronger against russian influence. >> bret: we talked a lot about china and russia and a little bit of the threat that iran poses. that come up on this hearing on capitol hill iran docking and doing business with venezuela. take a listen. >> allowing this ship to dock, significant to me on many different levels. it would be the first time that iranian vessels have made such a transit and the president is allowing iran to provide weapons to about the proliferation of weapons, any type of weapons in -- in our neighborhood. >> bret: defense secretary there, katie? >> katie: well, this move by the iranians to get even closer to the united states and to build thei

and in terms of outcomes that are unpredictable, in terms of alexy navalny, for instance, the president deliver aid stern warning and said there would be consequences if he were to die while in russian custody. we also know he discussed these cases of paul w hechl lan and trevor reed. president biden felt this was a good start. one thing we were tracking all day, they did meet for less than they anticipated but president biden said he felt it was completely enough time after just two hours with the leaders actually together over the course of a four-hour summit total. he said putin and him looked at each other and in effect said, okay, what's next? we can wrap this up. go do our individual press conferences and go from there. that was the other very significant point to underscore, the fact that the american president got the last word. that was something by design white house officials wanted to see and felt quite good about how that played out here in geneva, even though the president had the moment at the end that he had to apologize for once he got to the tarmac before taking off on

-russian relationship if alexi navalny will die in prison? of nato today thanked me for meeting with putin new. every single that spoke. i think there are probably 10 or 12 that spoke saying that they were happy that i did that. that i was going to do that. they thought it was thoroughly appropriate that i do and i discussed with them about -- in the open about what they thought was important from their perspective and what they thought was not important. so the interesting thing is, i know and i'm not being critical of the press, i mean this, give them my word, but generically you thought was biden meeting him too soon. i haven't found a world leader that doesn't think it's soon enough. every one that i've spoken to privately and publicly -- doesn't mean there's some out there but it's not likely that a head of state is going to stand up in front of 29 other heads of state and say i'm glad you're doing this in effect. so there's a consensus. they thanked me for being willing to talk with them about the meeting and what i was -- what i intend

this is a guy who jailed alexi navalny, his main opponent, and turns around saying the u.s. t of what aboutism from putin. and i talked to alexei navalny last summer. he was very clear about the risks he was facing. he knew what they were. but he was exposing putin's corruption and that's putin's vulnerability. to connect to your last segment, joy, what putin is up to is depressing dis-sint and throwing people like alexei navalny in prison and poisoning people in russia. in this country he wants to see the failure of democracy as well. he's made common cause for the people who mounted the insurrection. made common cause, of course, with donald trump. and the reality there are people like alexei navalny -- i remember i was in contact with him after he was poisoned before he went back to russia knowing he would be put in prison, and we can't get rid of a filibuster to protect our democracy? that's what people are doing in other countries to stand up to people like putin, i think that should shame our politicians who are standing in the way of that kind of action. >> indeed. in

alexi navalny whose organization called for free and fair elections, an end to corruption. but russia has outlawed that organization, calling it extremist. you have now prevented anyone who supports him to run for office. my question is, mr. president, what are you so afraid of? >> translator: it's not -- they're not prohibited from working, they can continue to operate. foreign agents don't need to stop operating. if they are extremist in nature, that's another issue. the organization that you mentioned has been -- has publicly called for mass disorder. >> you didn't answer my question, sir. if all of your political opponents are dead, in prison, poisoned, doesn't that send a message that you do not want a fair political fight? >> translator: as for who is killing whom, throwing whom in jail, people came to the u.s. congress with political demands. 400 people. over 400 people had criminal charges placed on them. >> joining us from moscow, nbc news reporter matthew bodner. thank you for being with us this morning. let me just start with that moment in particular where putin

will predetermined list of reporters at the end of which he was asked a tougher question about alexi navalnyreporter and suggest she was in the long line of work and not qualified to do what she did. i can only imagine what the reaction would have been if the president we were talking about was donald trump instead of joe biden. i feel like why have a lot of people on the airways that the collusion was wide open. it was right there happening in front of you. you didn't even need to look for it. >> bret: i want to turn topics to what's been happening up on capitol hill about infrastructure. and it is clear that there are two tracks here that some democrats, steve, really want to go down the reconciliation road including chuck schumer the senate majority leader and bipartisan effort to try to get negotiation. the question is where is the white house and are they going to push the negotiated side or are they going to push the reconciliation side? >> it's a good question and you get the sense that the white house taking sort of a hands off approach saying to democrats on capitol hill you figure

question was did you commit to stopping your crackdown to the opposition groups inside russia, alexi navalny. >> i didn't hear that part of the question. maybe it wasn't interpreted or maybe you decided to ask a second question. let's turn to commitments over the ukraine. only one commitment, promoting the minsk agreement. if we decide to do it, we will do it without doubt. back in november of last year, the ukranian delegation submitted their documents how they plan to implement. take a look. it is not a secret document. primarily, political -- into the legal system and constitution. there will be a constitutional amendment, number one. number two, the border between the russian federation and ukraine will be occupied by the border forces of ukraine on the day after the election. what did ukraine propose as a first step? the armed forces of ukraine to their place -- what does it mean? it means that ukrainian forces should go there. the second thing they propose is closing the border between russia and ukraine. and third, elections should be held in three months after these two steps are tak

control, russian-linked cyber attacks on the u.s., and the imprisonment of russian opposition leader alexi navalnyf the two leaders sitting down together. i believe mr. biden was heard to tell mr. putin that it's always better to meet face to face. do we have any idea what else they discussed in that moment the press was allowed in? >> well, president biden, anthony, was also asked whether he trusts putin, and putin was asked whether he trusts president biden. president biden nodded, but to be honest, it was difficult to make out what was said, because so many u.s. reporters in the traveling white house pool were actually boxed out of that room, because a swarm of russian journalists far more than were supposed to be there, got into the room. there was a physical altercation between the russians and the americans. this is the kind of chaos that often does accompany the russian leader. sometimes it's meant to throw the americans or whoever he is meeting with off their game. nevertheless, all the reporters have now been pulled from the room, and that meeting is taking place. first a small meeting be

what do you say if alexi navalny dies?e consequences of that be devastating for russia. i'll go back to the same point. what do you think happens when he's saying that it's not about hurting navalny, all of the stuff he says is rationaliz ed the treatment of navalny and then he dies in prison. i pointed out to him that it matters a great deal when a country, in fact, and they ask me why i thought there was important to continue to have problems with the president of syria. i said because it's a violation of international norm, it's called a chemical weapons treaty can't be trusted. it's about trust, it's about the ability to influence other nations, in a positive way. look, would you like to trade our economy for russia's economy would you like to trade and by the way we talked about trade. i don't have any problem with doing business with russia as long as they do it based on international norms. it's in our interest to see the russian people do well economically. i don't have a problem with that , but, if they do not act

getting ready to impose a new round of sanctions against russia over the poisoning and arrest of alexi in ey navalnyaring additional sanctions on russia for the poisons and imprisonment of alexey navalny. a senior administration official said this is not tied to the summit last week between president biden and president putin, but still significant that the u.s. is doubling down on these sanctions. however, they are required by law. the deadline for the sanction passed a few weeks ago. jake sullivan over the weekend said they are working to develop the right targets for these sanctions, and then they'll roll them out. here's what he also said about how these sanctions are in line with the biden administration's russia policy. >> we are preparing another package of sanctions to apply in this case as well. we've shown all along the way we're not going to pull our punches, whether it's on solar winds or election interference or navalny when it comes to responding to russia's harmful activities. >> now, kate, it will be interesting to watch who is targeted in these sanctions. it's noteworthy that allies

topics included nuclear arms control, opposition figure alexi navalny and russian cyber—attacks.followed by one of america's biggest adversaries, vladimir putin. in an attempt to stabilise a relationship that has gone badly wrong. it was just a handshake but with expectations so low, it looked like a good start. afterwards, vladimir putin said that meeting had been frank and fruitful. he is very constructive, very balanced like i expected. he is very experienced and you could tell that at first glance. this what i think is on hold is that we speak the same language, that doesn't mean that we have to look into our eyes and our souls. no, we have to represent our countries, the relationship is a pragmatic one, primarily. on several areas of american concern, ukraine, cyberattacks and the treatment of russian opposition figures, president putin pushed back hard. for his part, joe biden said they had set out some rules of the road but he wouldn't stop raising human rights, press freedom and russia's actions in the ukraine, in what he called a positive meeting. he said ambassadors wou
