killer but biden putin relationship is less of a love fest compared to what donald trump and putin had but that doesn't mean biden putin won't be working together both sides are now testing each other's red lines ukraine is one of those contests but so too is cyberspace after washington determined that the russian government was behind a huge hacking of its agencies that started in 2019 known as the solar winds hack the bite into ministration sanction dozens of organizations and individuals in russia and kicked out 10 russian diplomats russian responded by telling the u.s. ambassador in moscow there's probably a good idea for him to take a vacation in america for a while tit for tat knuckle rapping aside biden has invited putin to a face to face personal summit meeting in a 3rd country sometime this summer to reset relations but in the era of biden and the ongoing story of lattimer putin what kind of cooperation. well competition is normal for these 2 countries today we're talking with someone who's been one of the keenest observers of russia u.s. relations for decades dimitri simes is

tit for tat knuckle rapping aside biden as invited president putin to reset relations, but in the eraden and the ongoing story of vladimir putin what kind of competition is normal for these 2 countries? we are talking with someone who has been one of the keenest observers of russian-u.s. relations for decades. an author on russian studies and an expert in foreign affairs. he has advised american presidents are relations with each other and is the president and ceo of center for national interests and publisher of the national interest. it is great to have you on the show today. let me ask you as we have moved into an inflection point politically at least in the united states and as both countries are trying to figure out how to manage their equities, interests, i know you have a realistic lens of how to get that right. what do you think is most important right now for joe biden to accomplish with vladimir putin? >> i think the question that is most important is obviously to protect american geopolitical interests and do it in a way that will not risk nuclear war. that is fairly simple

pete williams in washington tonight, thank you. >>> in just 60 seconds, we'll have details on the biden/putin summit just announced and the manhunt in a new road rage shooting. >>> high tension likely next month as president biden announced he'll meet with russian president vladimir putin for the first time kristen welker has details. >> reporter: the high-stakes summit between president biden and president putin comes as tensions are at their highest level in years. >> i've spoken with him a number of times. >> reporter: the biden administration imposing sanctions for russian interference in the 2020 election and for the solarwinds cyberattack. but president biden is also facing bipartisan criticism for handing putin a political win by removing sanctions against a russian company that will allow the completion of a gas pipeline putin wants. tonight republican senator ben sasse saying, instead of treating putin like a gangster who fears his own people, we're giving him his treasured pipeline and legitimizing his actions with a summit. this is weak tonight we pressed the white house. >> why no

i think that's the first time it happened in an extremely long time, president biden had called putin russia, we had biden kill our pipeline and energy independence, very important. and also dropping the sanctions we had against russians in the pipeline they are building in germany. there's an argument to be said that that pipeline is nearly done in the sanctions wouldn't serve a purpose but trump was certainly more aggressive with russia than biden's being. it's good that these people are talking. we hope that there's a good chat that they have and that they have good relations because there are, frankly, much bigger problems elsewhere in the globe and so it's not good to be distracted by problems with russia. out if they are real problems. >> mike: steve, your thoughts on the back and forth between the u.s. and russian sides ahead of the summit? >> yeah, there shouldn't be a summit. it's a mistake to engage with blood and reboot when he's engaged in this kind of provocative behavior. you look at what he did in the aftermath of the kidnapping, the state-sponsored terrorism that belar

we talked about this summit that's coming up in about three weeks between president biden and vladimir putinoadly, should president biden meet with president putin if your son is still detained? to say, should his release be a condition of that summit? >> i don't think we want to commit to national security situations and things that the administration is having to deal with because they obviously have more to deal with than our son, but our son is obviously the priority for us. we do believe it should be a major part of their discussions and any discussions and we would hope that both president putin and president biden can come to some sort of an agreement to release our son and paul whelan, who we believe are both imprisoned illegally and innocent. in trevor's case, video evidence and witnesses were shown in court to prove that he's innocent and yet he was given the longest sentence in modern russian history for that charge. >> paula, you told us -- one of my colleagues that back in february, i believe it was, the secretary of state assured you that the administration would take any oppor

what is biden going to say to putin? cut cut it out? lled putin a killer, so why is he so anxious to sit down next to a murderer? >> jesse: we will find out pretty soon on june 16th. in the lovely country of switzerland. up next, hollywood liberal seth rogen thinks comedians should shut up and just accept cancel culture. ♪ ♪ hey, mom. i'll never say this but... - thanks for telling me everyone 12 and older is eligible for the covid-19 vaccine.

what can the two sides accomplish in this meeting and with the possibility of biden and putin themselveser? >> it's a very good question because, you know, part of what biden has done is take this very tough rhetorical stance, continue the policies that were tough, expand on them, which is all very good in terms of deterrence. but then it becomes tougher to -- it becomes harder to make a deal with them on anything. if you're trying to find areas where you need a deal. i mean, look, if you want to try to de-escalate the situation in ukr ukraine, the russians have to play ball. if you want to de-escalate what's happening in the middle east you need the russians not to veto u.n. security council actions. resolution of issues in syria. you need the russians. there are a number of specific places where it would be nice if there could be some degree of cooperation, but i think the biden people are right in feeling the most important thing to do is to stop the russians from engaging in some very maligned behavior. particularly in the cyber realm. and if you can't get them to stop that, then you

so now they don't -- the timing of this, matthew, they are biden and putin are scheduled to be meeting very soon. >> astonishing, isn't it? the meeting between biden and putin wasn't going to be fraught enough with a list as long as your arm when it comes to issues they disagree on, you can add this now. this latest hack to the issues between the two presidents that they have to discuss and i expect will clash on. i think what's striking to me about this latest revelation is the fact that, according to microsoft, the hacking was going on within the last week, within the last couple of days. it was only last month that the biden administration issued tough sanctions on russia for the solarwinds hacking. expelled ten diplomats. put economic sanctions on russia. it sanctioned individuals and said we hope that behavior, you know, will now change. clearly just a couple of weeks before the summit, it's still going on. >> is it in jeopardy, jim, the summit? >> i don't think the summit is in jeopardy. they're both invested in this. joe biden will want to establish a clear break from the trump

will this affect the meeting between president biden and vladimir putin in a few weeks? content. president biden won't call off the meeting. the reason you meet with your adversary is to address problems such as this, but you've got the central issue here, which is, we're in the escalation trap. any time they try to do something like this, there's a debate that basically says, okay, what can we do? we can really fix them now and show them there's a price to be paid. and then they get into a discussion of saying, well, they're a nuclear armed power, our relationship's already poor, let's not escalate too much. when the president came out, he threw out, i think, ten diplomats, most of whom they believe were spies, did some economic sanctions, and said i was proportion at. don't make me escalate. immediately they come back with this, which tells me in the shofrt war operations, the russians are convinced they can basically get away with this with very little price and erode away our confidence in the systems. >> they are at this point. and, look, i think there's a lot more t

biden is more critical of putin and his predecessor, how does his history play into this? : clearly biden is trying to establish a much tougher tone towards putin himself then former president trump. as i mentioned, outright calling putin a killer. a negative back and forth between them. biden and secretary of state antony blinken have said that the u.s. is not going to go out of its way to take shots at russia, but they will push back on them when necessary. but clearly, it's important to keep in mind that this is something the u.s. was looking to set up. they wanted to proactively reset the way they talk to and about russia and create a contrast with what we saw from trump. shery: we will be watching closely. june 16 is the summit. bloomberg senior reporter jack fitzpatrick. is a check of the headlines. goldman sachs is forming a joint venture with china's largest bank. goldman sachs will take out 51% stake, it will boost the u.s. funds distribution network and access to wealthy customers on the mainland. icbc has 850 million personal banking clients. goldman sees investa

biden called the russian president a killner a u.s. interview. putin then sent 100,000 troops to the border with ukraine anticipating the biden administration's response to russian election interference in 2016 and 2020. and its massive solar winds hack involving a dozen u.s. government agencies and 100 u.s. companies. biden expelled russian diplomats and imposed sanctions on russia's sovereign debt. putin quietly withdrew most of the troops sent recently to the border. >> i think president biden needs a big idea what he is trying to do with the russia relationship. leading putin is not going to do anything. >> michael o'hanlon the author of art of war in an age of peace says biden could offer alternative to nato expansion. >> also require russia to get mits off of ukraine and georgia. pull out covert forces agreeing that those countries can join the european union. >> sent a subnortheastern norway and american b-52 bombers flew over the back sea for, quote, target training. the u.s. will want to address the kremlin's efforts to start a new cold war. >

and putin's not listening. >> having a tough meeting with putin doesn't necessarily hurt biden in the. i believe him. whatever putin said, trump nodded. if biden comes out and says we're having a tough meeting, it doesn't hurt biden politically. it makes the relationship complicated. >> he was clear, he was tough on these issues, there's also an expectation we will actually find out what happened in the meeting. which would be a change in administrations, obviously, as well. >> transparency. it's an interesting theme in a democracy, yes, you're right. i shouldn't even make a joke about that. the trump administration hid so much about these meetings. it's not funny. so it is a big change. catherine and rachel, thank you very much. >>> vice president harris, the first woman to give the commencement address at the u.s. naval academy. this important reminder, also, of memorial day's true meaning, the sacred ground of arlington national cemetery as we honor those who gave their lives while serving in the military. your smile will always be brilliant. crest 3d white brilliance. 100% sta rem

vladimir putin didn't report or fear joe biden. in fact none of these countries do. he just steam rolled vladimir putin who rubber stamped biden's now pipeline project into germany. biden just killed our pipeline. the keystone pipeline paying thousands of hard working americans high paying career jobs and limiting america's supply of oil and gas creating energy dependency and higher prices at the pump and everything in the store that gets there by a truck fueled by dose --odies. diesel. according to joe this was worth it because he was saving the earth listening to the radical squad in congress of bernie sanders. that was a massive lie. if it was about the environment, why did he lift sanctions on the russian pipeline, give a special exemption so vladimir putin can get rich again and makes us dependent on vladimir putin and russia's hostile regime. now we count on him for the lifeblood of their economies? that's not good. this is what american-last more or lesses look like. putting puttin and russia first. last week russians hacked america's pipeline system causing sh

stands on some of these things before biden and putin meet. it will have an influence on the meetings, but it has not been sufficient for the president to say he wouldn't want to go forward in one of the events at the white house i was able to ask the president about that, if he thought some of the steps that russia is doing with amassing troops and these cyber incursions, if that is enough to cause him to rethink meeting with putin and he said at this point, no. and that he wants to have that face-to-face to try to get a better handle on u.s.-russia relations. it will be significant. it will be much watched all around the world next month. yasmin? >> all right, kelly o'donnell for us in delaware, thank you, good to see you once again. >>> let's talk january 6th commission for a moment. turning to capitol hill with that where democrats are working on their next steps to investigate the capitol riots after republicans blocked the creation of an independent commission yesterday. senate majority leader chuck schumer saying he may force a vote on

. >> biden and putin are due to meet in the summer so what should be the u.s. response and is thus likely to be a factor in that meeting? >> it is likely to be raised. i think it is important to talk about it not so much in geopolitical terms, you don't want to cast belarus as a point of confrontation between russia and the west. russia has leverage their, lukashenko has fallen into putin's lap. this is a case where we want to avoid further humanitarian disaster, the kinds of brutal attacks on the belarusian people, mass arrests, we would have an interest in seeing that contained. at the same time, putin himself has no great love for lukashenko. this is a man who is dependent on himut at the same time not reliable. long-term, if we can de- geopolitical size the conflict, -- politicize this, there will be an effort to make the government -- even not about bringing him -- belarus into western and produced institutions which would trigger russian reaction. >> thank you very much for joining me. >> thank you. >> the pandemic has halted tourism around the world but

these maybe quasi governmental organizations, how do they fit into treaties and deals when biden is talking to putinhow does he address the stuff when the russians say it wasn't us? >> president biden made the point when it came to the colonial pipeline ransom ware attack, as best we understood was, in fact, a private actor, it was a malign criminal private actor that sells its services to bad folks, however it likely was based, or at least partially based on russian territory so president biden's reaction to that was to say, look, we don't hold the russian government directly responsible for this, but the russian government, like all governments, has an obligation to be responsible for the bad actions of people operating out of its infrastructure and under its jurisdiction so i think that should exactly be a part of this strategic stability dialogue that we expect to begin after the summit in june. >> strategic stability biden says he wants a stable, predictable, relationship with russia he's also imposed new sanctions. are these things contradictory >> no, the message from the administration is ve
