trump: the baltics -- >> what about the baltics? pres. trump: the baltics, we're committed to. the europeans have to step up more than they have. i want to see them equalized because they're in for far less than we're in they should be at least equal. you understand that? why is the united states -- we have an ocean in between -- why is the united states in for so much more money and other things as europe? with that being said and as you said, they've also been obviously very helpful. but we have put in far more than they have. and i think they should equalize. >> mr. president -- pres. trump: please, go ahead. >> what changed between the first time the secretary message gave president zelensky the deal? pres. trump: i'm a business person. we made a deal that's what changed. i didn't think we were going to make a deal. and we ended up making the deal. so that changed. >> how you do envision a tri lateral decision? pres. trump: they do not like each other. it's not a love match. that's why unfortunately, they're in this situation. the united states should not have allowed this

i mean, the baltic countries uh the both the countries are very much against russia. she was the prime minister of her country. it. busy and stuff kind of smaller scale and i think it was a mistake that uh she and another and another uh, personality from. so both the countries were appointed in the key positions and have to do this for an affairs because it does, it does not allow the coalition, which by the way, is not the elected body to have a balanced approach that towards this door to this crisis, as if it was up to the baltic countries that would like to have a dog war. uh, all the folks that wished against russia me tell us all so rejected. president trump's claim that the u was created to exploit the us, claiming instead that europe aims to prevent wars among its members states. now given europe's stance on a crime conflict, how do you view her remarks? saying the union is a piece project? well, it's not acting like a piece project. originally it was, it was constructed to be a piece project, but all its actions at a, at this moment is totally contrary to a, t

if he goes into one of the baltic states, one of the weaker nations in the baltic states.aying with fire. and, you know, maybe, maybe they will put the pieces back together again. perhaps they'll get this deal going again. it sounds as though the brits, the french, are trying to get trump and zelensky back at the negotiating table. but what took place on friday almost felt like a stunt. and a lot of people are saying maybe it was a stunt. this was just trump playing to the cameras. yeah. and so if you're in a situation like that, if you're zelensky, how do you negotiate in a situation like that? it is very, very difficult. and i know, ali, you've done some great reporting over in ukraine to think about what the people of that country have gone through over the last three years, and to see the president just repudiate their leader in the way that he did, it must be just incredibly disheartening. and it raises a lot of worries as to what's to come. >> jim. >> it's nice to see you again, my friend. thank you. jim acosta is a former chief white house correspondent and old coll

i was in the baltic nations earlier this year. they are very concerned.hat would be a staging ground for them to attack the baltics. >> understood. that's why we are watching it so carefully, senator kelly. i appreciate your insight. we will turn now to michigan congressman john james. good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning, margaret. >> i want to ask you about what's happening in your state with the economy and tariffs. staying on the theme for a moment, i know you have a lot of ukrainian americans in your district. you voted in support of last year's ukraine supplemental. are you comfortable with the trump administration's decision to stop recognizing that russia started the war in ukraine? >> russia is the aggressor. putin is a war criminal. zelenskyy fumbled the bag pretty hard. all those things can be true at the same time. we absolutely must stand by our all allies. we need to give transparency and accountability to the american people. under the biden administration, billions of dollars were given away with little accountability. no miss

but if we will not stay, russia will go further to the baltics into poland, but first of the baltics. it is understandable because they have been in the ussr. they have been one of the republics of the ussr and food and wants to bring them back to his empire -- and putin wants to bring them back to his empire. it's a fact. , not recognizable. there's not a building standing. pres. zelenskyy: you have to come look. we have good cities. a lot of things have been destroyed but people work in children go to school. sometimes very difficult, sometimes closer to the front line, children have to go to underground schools, but this is important. and maybe it is putin sharing this information that he destroyed us. he lost 700,000 soldiers. >> mr. president -- when did you last speak with president putin? pres. trump: a couple days ago. >> and what did he tell you that indicated he wanted peace? pres. trump: my whole life is deals. i know pretty good. i have known him for a long time. i have dealt with him for a long time. he had to suffer through the russia hoax. it was all biden. it was nothi

the baltic-states. .1 1 : - . .1,1 be criticism. smaller. then there�*s the ultimate question about the us ultimate hueitieh abeut thehe guarantees hit'fiete eheet'eh eeeht thehe guarantees of those security guarantees of those forces. to be fair, it not forces. to be fair, it is not just president trump, president said he was not prepared th|s wt” w 777777777th7i7s7i7sw7w777 w 7777777w7th7i7s7i7ngoiwhg777 w w 7777777th7i7s7i7sgoihg7 back w ukraine. this is going back defadee us does not want decades. the us does not want to push it security guarantees eastern front. it beyond nato's eastern front. it is a very broad when you is a very broad term, when you think about the fray those tho7se guarantees guarantees. those guarantees could be something �*short of could be something far short of membership. when i guess about lie earlier talked about us involvement in providing for equipment for enhanced intelligence gathering. so that could have a good idea ukraine could have a good idea russia was up to. what russia was up to. it�*s a lo

but if we will not stay, russia will go to baltic and poland by the way. it's understandable for them. because they've been -- they've been the u.s. side. they've been one of their republic of ussr. it's a fact. if you will not stay, you will fight. your american soldiers -- it doesn't matter. do you have auction or not? your soldiers will fight. >> will you be willing to admit that ukraine -- >> it was my question. sorry. president trump: i don't want to talk about odessa. i want to talk about making a deal, getting peace. we don't have to talk about odessa. but a lot of cities have been destroyed. a lot of cities that are not recognizable. there's not a building standing. and a lot of -- a lot of -- >> they have to come and to look. no, no, no. we have very good sticks. yes a lot of things have been destroyed but mostly life and people work. and children go to school. sometimes it's very difficult. sometimes sometimes closer to front line children have to go to underground schools or online. but ukraine is fighting and ukraine lives. this is very importa

. >> what about the baltics? pres. trump: it is a tough neighborhood, too. we will be very committed. we are committed to nato. but nato has to step up and the europeans have to step up. i want to see them equalized because they are in for far less than we are in and they should be at least equal. you understand that? we have an ocean in between. why is the united states in for so much more money -- and other things -- than europe? they have also been very helpful but we have put in far more than they have. i think this should equalize. please, go ahead. >> what changed between the first time the secretary gave president zelenskyy the agreement and now? pres. trump: we made a deal. i am a business person. we made a deal. that is what changed. i did not think we would make a deal. we ended up making the deal. >> how do you envision -- pres. trump: they do not like each other. i can tell you that. they do not like each other. this is not a love match and it is unfortunate. that is what you are in this situation. the united states should not have allowed this t

on the baltic states, he is right. i was over at the meeting in estonia just before christmas to have discussions with them. i have been to the frontline in estonia twice where we have got british troops. they feel immediately the threat for obvious reasons. i spoke to them yesterday morning at some length and assured them we need to look at the configuration again when we have meetings of allies to make sure the baltic states are properly represented because for them the threat is very clear and near. i think the prime minister for his statement and outstanding global leadership his showing on this issue. i to have her current -- i too have returned from ukraine last week. the one message ukrainians gave me was their immense gratitude for the leadership and support the u.k. have shown. does the prime minister agree with me that now is the time we remain resolute as a house for the sake of the ukrainian people and that our 100-year partnership between our countries is more important than ever? >> hear, hear. p.m. starm

russia is already carrying out hybrid operations in the baltic sea. and they openly say that this is the sphere, how they call of russian influence, which they want to restore. if you look back at the soviet and the map of the soviet union, at that sphere of influence. this is the role that russia wants us to live in. and this is why ukraine is fighting. and we had the common values and common uh, interests with the u.s. and people here want this to come back because we are not the country that invaded. it's the russians who are the aggressors here and who are attacking ukrainians daily, day after day. hundreds of drones with warheads, like 50 kilos of explosives are launched from russia towards ukrainian cities, killing civilians every day in all over ukraine. >> yeah, and all of those larger threats posed by russia, top of mind for those european leaders as they meet with president zelenskyy today. we'll see what comes of that. really appreciate your analysis. maria avdeeva live in kyiv. thank you so much. >> thank you. kim. thank you. bye bye. >> a

of course, with lithuania, you've been saying that it was a mistake that baltic states weren't invited to this get together in london, but it makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the united states is now peace oriented and without them, i mean the, your opinion is pretty powerless to do anything. a washington wants to deal with the ukraine and later who actually 6 piece. that's the message from the president. trump national security advisor mike waltz. what was so i think stunning to all of us in the oval office was that it was not clear zalinski was going to go to negotiations at all that he would ever be able to negotiate with bruten. i am whether he shared our goal of ending this war. are you suggesting that president trump wants the landscape to resign? we need a leader that can deal with us adventure. we deal with the russians and in this war . and if it becomes apparent that presidents the lens, he's either personal motivations or political motivations or divergence from ending to fighting in his country. and then then i think we have a real issue on our hand. l

of course, with lithuania, even saying that it was a mistake that baltic states weren't invited to this debt together in london. but it makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the united states is now peace oriented and without them, i mean the european union is pretty powerless to do anything with europe is scrambling to keep the war. turning us senator, mike lee has accused nato allies of being forgetful. he's published an info graphic showing the huge difference in us europe, military spending, former greek ambassador, leon itis chris on top of us says europe is shooting itself in the foots through its unwillingness to admit the war is near its end. and so your opinions are blinded by the arrow goods. i think that they cannot understand that the situation has changed is that we are heading towards a peaceful negotiation that will uh, so before they get dogs to europeans cannot accept that they have rush, they have not been able to do for you to pressure, which was something impossible from doubts it as to the proposal of the funds that line that we need to create and y

of course, with lithuania, you've been saying that it was a mistake that baltic states weren't invited to this debt together in london. but that makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the united states is now peace oriented and without them, i mean, the european union is pretty powerless to do anything well, likes, thomas said, you know, it's not going to be done. what look without the us as involvements that would be waiting to hear what the us side has to say to the so many thanks for britain is up to speed that scientists don't close to washington wants to deal with the ukrainian leader who actually 6 piece that's the message from president trump national security advisor, my quotes, what was so i think stunning to all of us in the oval office was that it was not clear. zalinski was going to go to negotiations at all that he would ever be able to negotiate with brewton. i'm whether he shared our goal of ending this war. are you suggesting that president trump wants zalinski to resign? we need a leader that can deal with us eventually deal with the russians and in thi

it will probably be the baltics, you know. and then it'll be moldova. and then i worry about my home country. i was disgusted. i'm an american voter. i'm a taxpayer. i'm a patriot. i'm a believer in american values. he was a lion among jackals. he stood his ground. he was polite. he was. he tried to make his points, and then he was bombarded by idiotic comments from vance and trump. let's bring in our political analyst, larry gerston. larry, i mean, there's one thing we keep saying over and over again today. we've never seen anything like this. i mean, watching this, knowing we're watching history, we're watching big shifts in european history, american history all play out in front of us. have you ever seen anything? no, no, because nothing like this has happened for at least 80 years. what we have today is literally a reorganization of the world order. that's pretty serious stuff. yeah. so, i mean, one of the questions i had for you is we saw this in public. do you think this stuff normally happens in private or even in private? things never get this

of course, with lithuania, you've been saying that it was a mistake that baltic states weren't invited to this get together in london, but it makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the united states is now peace oriented and without them, i mean the european union is pretty powerless to do anything as europe scrambles to keep the war. turning us, senator mike lee has accused the nato allies of being forgetful. he's published an info graphic highlighting the difference in us europe at military spending, which shows the blocks defense costs have decreased by $1.00 trillion dollars. from a great capacity early a night is present, topple us. it says, europe is shooting itself in the foot through its unwillingness to admit the war is near its end. so your opinions are blinded by their advocates. i think that they cannot understand that the situation has changed is that we are heading towards a peaceful negotiation that when uh so or they get not to europe and cannot accept that they have lost or they have not been able to do for you to pressure which was something impossible

of course, with lithuania, you've been saying that it was a mistake that baltic states weren't invited to this debt together in london, but it makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the united states is now peace oriented and without them, i mean the european union is pretty powerless to do anything and why london is resolute st. continuing to box the current ukrainian leadership far from every one there is on board. british heritage party leader david curtis has gestured a pool revealing how many tax periods may be keen to hit the breaks on the funding for t f. and i'm to live the same as the current himself joins just now. i from england for further reaction at david, thanks for your time today. interesting. we'll get to that point in just a 2nd, but we have the u. k. helping lead especially pro war charge. while the us is championing a pro peace agenda. this lead to a sustain strain and not the special relationship. yeah, everything has changed since president trump came into the white house and took office on the 28th of january. because now he is done a complete $1

because the baltic states that have been put in charge of europe in the past 5 years or it's not longer. so i'm, but i couldn't believe the insults to bind and i've never seen any you was president. so clearly that was a trouble, i understand, but it wasn't the small value of a fight and was on his mind. let me see what he said to me. can you look at this exchange of that sound good when the would offer somebody trump's body language set a lot? there was a lot of just yeah, t, elation going on with our hands flying around at one point i thought he was just gonna slap savanski across the mug. a well, i mean campus taking on the world wrestling federation of boss. so, so that he's taken on every single major politician in the us and in various campaigns. you know, the 1st in 2000, 1516 and then the last, the recent one. he's not going to be shy about the telling someone of what he thinks of them, but also it's interesting bands i don't think come over harris or any other vice president has ever. i've never seen a vice president and the president act in concert. you have to gather attackin

poland has stepped up, the baltic states have stepped up. a few other countries. worst countries are the leaders with the biggest mounts france, britain, germany, italy, although i like but italy. they have not stepped up to the plate like they could and should. why? this is from the ce center for strategic and international studies by max bergman. europe's approach to supporting ukraine's war effort is no longer fit for purpose. there is a desperate need for europe to ramp up its defense industrial production. but, despite a clear consensus behind this urgent need, european production lines are not maxing out their capacity. the root of the issue is not so much a lack of political will, but as is frequently the case with european defense, a failure to cooperate in a lack of funding. they are all rallying around zelensky. talk is cheap. one of the step up and do more? europe has not yet shifted to the new reality that ukraine faces. this is several months ago. now, europe has contributed as a collective point to percent of the gross domestic product. point to perc

you heard the reporters ask what would you do if russia threatened poland or the baltics, and that'shat we, it united states to look at russia invading and the knock-on effects of abandoning ukraine. and our asian allies need to know that the yoo it's is with it all. and quick work by the ukrainians and look for in the next coming weeks. >> it may take more than a little diplomacy to get this back on track, with an oval office meltdown, if you will. thank you for your time and we'll see where this goes. all right. the vatican says that the pope had a peaceful and restful night. he had another setback in his recovery. jeff paul is in rome with the latest condition of the pope, jeff. >> yeah, griff, after several days of slow improvement, pope francis suffered from his second medical crisis in the span of a week and the latest, the vatican saying that he received nonventilation, essentially a mask that went over his nose and mouth to help him breathing. he had a broncospasm, the air going to the wind pipe, and caused vomiting and inhalation. and he remained cooperative with doctors try

for instance, they can free up the land forces across the baltics in existing nato commitments, the enhancedguarantee should things go wrong. but look, there's enough of these, you know, like a coalition of the willing with britain, with france, the nordic countries, the baltics and hopefully poland, who i think quite early on in these talks ruled themselves out of sending forces to, to ukraine. but there's other ways they can contribute. for instance, they can free up the land forces across the baltics in existing nato commitments, the enhanced forward presence. we run that in estonia, for instance. so there's ways that poland can still help, and there is enough of an incentive for these countries to really have one�*s countries to really have one's back and provide the security guarantees to one another. don't forget, britain and france are a nuclear power. we have extended our nuclear umbrella, so to speak, to all of european nato countries. france hasn't. and i think that�*s a powerful think that's a powerful reminder. you know, around a quarter of our defence budget goes towards our nuc

what happens to the baltic states? what happens to estonia if russia rolls over their border?happens to poland? what happens if any of the nato countries are attacked by russia after what we just saw? they cannot depend on the united states anymore after more than seven decades. i'm sure the europeans are probably even more in shock than we are at this table and i'm glad you used the word gangster because that was the thing when president trump got into it with president zelenskyy. you don't have any cards. without us, you have no deal. that was gangster rule there. between him and the vice president it also felt like watching a wrestling match where vance jumps in the ring and taps in the president and they gang up on a man who is literally fighting for the survival of his country. amna: is there a way to get any kind of deal back on track and repair what was clearly broken today? >> i think so. trump is transactional. he will bash people and hate them and then he will do a deal. i just wonder where his values are. he clearly has a thing for vladimir putin. we have had that f

washington refused to recognize the soviet annexation of the three baltic republics, who are now proud and independent nations. america has a superpower, sometimes acted unwisely in places like vietnam and iraq and afghanistan. but even in those cases, it saw its involvement as the protection of freedom and democracy, not anymore. the strangest aspect of the last few weeks of american diplomacy culminated in the disaster at the white house on friday. is that the president of the united states has seemed utterly unwilling to say plainly that he supports the victim of aggression against the aggressor, and that he admires ukrainian democracy more than russian dictatorship. instead, he and vice president vance spent friday's photo op at the white house publicly scolding ukraine's president zelenskyy, telling him to say thank you, which he has said repeatedly, and accusing him of being disrespectful. zelenskyy's fault was simply to point out that ukraine had, in fact signed a ceasefire deal with putin in 2015, in minsk, but that putin had continually violated it ever since then. trump used

you've got some countries on the front lines, like poland, like the baltic states, like the nordics, that are willing to do an awful lot more, even an awful lot more than the americans per capita. but the europeans collectively have not. so, frankly, this is not really a moment for ukraine. ukraine has been fighting courageously with their young men for three years now. zelenskyy, of course, was not willing to accept a flight from the united states with the much larger russians were threatening him. he didn't claim he had bone spurs and wasn't going to go to the front, as the american president did. back to avoid serving in the u.s. military. zelenskyy has served his country. he's shown his courage. no question about zelenskyy, no question about the ukrainians. the question is about the europeans to whom this should matter a lot more than the average american. and yet over the last three years it has not. >> ian bremmer, thanks so much. noaa tracks, hurricanes, winter storms and more. of course, we've become pretty familiar with those four letters. well, now hundreds of scientists wi

you see the baltics, for example, lithuania, latvia, estonia.you see poland, you see up top finland. these are countries right against russia. right against putin himself said that one day i am going to reunite the old russia that included most of those countries. okay. and with that, he is looking very much toward expansionism. this is not being made up. this is what putin himself has said. the nato countries, for that reason, are very worried about this, very worried about this. and for that reason, for that reason, they are much more likely to get together and do their very best to protect ukraine, because if ukraine goes, they believe one of these countries could be next. and not to be self-serving here, but what about us? what about the us? here's where we get to the real issue for the united states. it's a question of our foreign policy. donald trump has gone on record more than once saying he believes in america first. you've had that. you've heard that. that's a very isolationist characteristic, if you will. as far as he's concerned, rus

i go to those countries like the baltics and that area quite frequently, and they are very obviously, you know, very, very worried about this. >> yeah. and as you know, look, russia is looking at this and take, take away what's actually happening with russia and ukraine and the war there. they're looking if they look at this more broadly, the u.s. is now on a very different page than its allies in europe. um, you know, china is now looking and watching to see what happens as it looks at taiwan and other other moves. it might potentially make. maybe that emboldens china as well. if you're russia, this is doing far more than just what's happening in ukraine. >> oh, that is very true. i mean, if you look at the immediate issue, you know, ukraine, that is one thing that president putin has really kind of obsessed about for years and years. so that's number one. but it's ukraine is part of an even bigger, uh, play that russia has, which is and it's happening right now. improve relations, get back on track, have a reset with the united states, get back at the at the world table deciding thi

look for the baltics, who are small countries but mighty in their fear and detesting russia. look for the swedes, the swedes and the finns who have long bad history with russia. i think there's plenty of will to go with that capacity. i think the euros are going to step up here. >> okay. if if the united states collapses its support for ukraine, if it greatly diminishes what its heretofore been doing for ukraine, and if the europeans don't fill the void, for how much longer can ukraine hold out on the battlefield against russia? how long can they go it alone? >> they can't go it alone for any reasonable amount of time. but assuming the europeans even continue their current level of aid. and let's do the numbers for a minute here. um, the u.s. thus far in three years has provided about 120 billion. call it 40 billion a year. the europeans have provided in total all forms of aid. well, well, more than that. 160 to 180 billion. so there will still be a lot of. capacity going toward ukraine. i'm going to assume that will continue and even go up on the european side in that scenar

ukraine, but if anybody believes that putin will stop at ukraine, that he doesn't have in his eyes the baltictes, poland and others, they are not students of history. >> international leaders have rallied behind president zelenskyy after the oval office clash. canadian prime minister justin trudeau says ukrainians have fought with courage and resilience, and that their fight for freedom and democracy is what matters to all. australian prime minister anthony albanese echoed that statement. here he is. >> the people of ukraine have suffered greatly in defense of their nation and their national sovereignty. and russia has acted like a bully, a big country seeking to invade and to take over territory from another sovereign nation. in this case, ukraine. and like the rest of overwhelmingly countries around the world, we have stood with ukraine and we will continue to do so. >> but hungarian prime minister viktor orban made it clear he's firmly behind donald trump. he said the u.s. president stood bravely for peace, even though that was difficult for many to digest. orban is a longtime ally of both

he's going to go to the baltic states, he's going to go to poland. he's going to go. he's just this expansion is just going to continue. >> well, you have to understand that vladimir putin is a former kgb head. he is out of the old soviet system. but that's not his endgame. his endgame is an imperialist russia. he has that that look back about where russia had imperial global power. that's one piece of this, the other piece. and this goes to what marco rubio says. i don't understand his secretary of state. how you even level up to donald trump is the only one to solve this problem. when donald trump is siding with one partner, one side of this equation, and that's putin. how do you have a negotiation between russia and ukraine when ukraine isn't in the room, you won't let them in the room to sit down at the table. so then you invite the president of ukraine into the oval office, and you put on this performative, you know, ganging up on him, which was all staged. i mean, everything was going fine. and then jd vance, who normally, as you know, simone. >> would not speak
