blinken: no. but it is a growing problem. >> how many mexicans have died from fits in all? sec. blinken: i don't have that number. >> do you agree that those policies are working? sec. blinken: they need to do more. they need to be more effective. one way is making sure we have the technology on our borders to detect and intercept the fentanyl. 90% of fentanyl coming in through our ports is through illegal ports. we have technology that can detect that. >> how about rather at the border come we go to the source and declare drug cartels under u.s. law. would you consider that? >> yes, we certainly consider that. that would help with china. if you provide material support for tears organizations. >> it is not clear we would get additional material. >> with china, material support doesn't bring in. material support to china company. please consider that. our policy is not working. this travel advisory map of the state department tells you where to go and not to go in mexico. the red is getting redder

blinken: in short, yes. the thing i want to say quickly is we have been looking as well and talking to your team about recommendations for this. we very much want to make sure we provide the support to do it. >> we look forward to working on it too. as senator rubio mentioned, we face new and evolving to lunges every day. i think this will help us address those challenges. thank you for that commitment. i will turn to another issue that is very troubling. an issue related to our neighbor at the southern border. president lopez obrador continues to taken punitive actions against u.s. businesses operating in mexico. the first question is, were you aware of the mexican military's recent seizure of the u.s. owned deepwater port on the yucatÁn peninsula in mexico? sec. blinken: i am not sure i am aware of that particular seizure. when did this happen? >> it just happened in the past few weeks. sec. blinken: i am happy to follow up with you. >> in that situation, it concerns me that the mexican military put them i

blinken: in short yes. and i'd like to say very quickly senator, i think we have been looking and talking to your team about recommendations for that. and we very much want to make sure that we provide the support to do it. >> senator rubio mentioned we face new and evolving challenges every day, and modernization of the apartment will help us with that. thank you for that commitment. i will turn to another area that is very troubling, and issue related to our neighbor at our southern border. president lopez over door -- lopez continues to take punitive actions against united states businesses in mexico. my first question is whether you are aware of the mexican military's recent seizure of united states phone -- owned deepwater ports in the yucatan. sec. blinken: i'm not aware of that particular -- when did this happen? >> just the past few weeks. in that situation, it concerns me that the mexican government has put its military in charge of constructing a section of the railway that is near this seized por

in late 2020 one, blinken said the u.s.ld decide whether the crimes committed in northern ethiopia constitute genocide. the state department, according to a recent piece in foreign policy, the state department drafted a declaration in 2021 the ethiopian government's atrocities in tigray constituted genocide according to three u.s. officials familiar with the matter, but it never released that declaration. your response? >> yes, i think some of my colleagues on the ground tried to askhis question to the secretary of state, and i think his response was very vague. secretary blinken said -- he was the first highest level official to meet. this report relearning the designation of genocide shows it. i think the u.s. is trying to leverage dipmacy over the issue of human rights. i don't think the west will come forward to publish -- designated what happened in tigray as genocide requires them to follow through. they're currently more focused on security. if you'll be up as opposed to a competing power -- ethiopia as opposed to a

and so, i think that secretary blinken's visit to niger is a signal.s saying that, yes, there's there's been some pushback in places like mali and in burkina faso to western intervention, but the united states is here to strengthen this partnership. it remains an ally and recognizes that, in niger, there continues to be a trajectory toward democratization. you know, despite these security pressures, despite the humanitarian challenges, despite the socioeconomic challenges that niger faces, it has been able to maintain constitutional order, it's been able to promote citizen engagement in the political realm and civilian rule, it's been able to professionalize its military in the context of this ongoing counter-insurgency campaign. and so, i think that the united states is there to show that its foreign policy is a continued commitment to forming partnerships, strengthening partnerships with african countries, where it sees its interests and values are aligned, and i think that that's something that russia and china haven't been able to offer as consiste

blinken: we deplore what the taliban repeated. we have seen this noun time and again, denying them education, denying them the ability to work, denying them to participate as citizens. it is safe to say from conversations with conversations of -- with conversations with countries around the world, that will not happen so long as they continue to advance these repressive against women and girls. >> what would your response be to those who say despite the context of the report, the work that goes into it that the issues that are flagged are not sufficiently influenced, especially when it comes to countries where it is harder for the united states to have those tough discussions on human rights like egypt, saudi arabia and israel? what is your response to that? sec. blinken: we have those tough discussions across the board with friends, adversaries, competitors alike. the report itself makes that very clear. in the day in, day out, it is the same thing. we are not pulling out punches with anyone. sometimes we do it more publicly, som

blinken: well, good morning everyone. let me just start with some very good news this morning, and that is the release of jeffrey woodke after more than six years in captivity. i want to thank the government of niger where i was just last week for its important assistance in bringing him home. i also went to think our team starting with special envoy roger carsons. all of those who have been working at the department to bring him home, tireless efforts, and i'm very pleased we are now seeing that come to fruition today. as you know, i have no higher priority or focus than bringing home any unjustly detained american wherever that is in the world. we won't rest until they are all home and like jeffrey, reunited with their families. this morning, i will be launching the 2022 human rights report, but just before i turn to that, i want to speak to what is happening right now in moscow. today and throughout this week, president xi is meeting with president putin in russia. we expect that china may use this visit to reiterate c

senator estate anthony blinken -- secretary of state antony blinken. >> i told the foreign minister whatnd so many others said last week at united minute -- knighted nations and so many g20 said today -- united nations, and so many of the g20 said today. and this war of aggression -- end this war of aggression. >> sergey lavrov held a meeting, his chinese counterpart joining him, russian officials say moscow and beijing have agreed to oppose western blackmail and threats, it has not been confirmed by china. that's you again to say. >> -- let's hear what he had to say. >> unfortunately the joint declaration could not be approved, the western colleagues as they did a year ago under the indonesian presidency, tried by all means to bring to the for the situation with ukraine. that they present under the guise of so-called russian a grandson -- aggression. >> we know that antony blinken met with sergey lavrov for 10 minutes on the side of the conference. >> we know what the americans essay was discussed. mr. lincoln said he raised three points -- blinken sd he raised three points. u.s. and it

blinken said the u.s. will support ukraine. russia must reverse putin's decision and implement the s.t.a.r.t. treaty and moscow should release paul whelan. with pressure from france and germany on ukraine to begin negotiating with russia, blinken said that the u.s. stands with ukraine's president zelenskyy's ten-point peace plan. >> president putin, however, has demonstrated zero interest in engaging, saying there's nothing to talk about, unless and until ukraine accepts, and i quote, the new territorial realities while doubling down on his brutalization of ukraine. >> objections from russia and china prevented any condemnation of the war by the g20. they didn't produce a final joint statement. an unusual event. here to put this into perspective is michael crowley. this meeting, encounter, between lavrov and blinken, the first since before the war when we were all in sweden and they met and had a contentious meeting, lasted less than ten minutes. a lot happened. give me your takeaways. >> that's right, andrea. as you know, beca

it was an opportunity that secretary blinken took advantage of. reporter: to follow up on a couple of topics on that, in that neighborhood. any evidence that china has been any made any further decisions or actions, either way, whether to provide lethal aid to russia? mr. kirby: we've seen no indication that they've made that decision. they haven't taken it off the table, peter, but we haven't seen any indication. reporter it remains as it was : then. let me ask then if i can: the president said to us a couple of weeks ago, when he was speaking about the aerial objects there, that he expected to “speak soo”" was his language with president xi. is there any update on that? any formal outreach? when would that take place? mr. kirby: no former outreach that i'm aware of, peter. and no call on the schedule. reporter: okay. then just one last one to punctuate. several months ago, the president promised saudi arabia would suffer, quote, “consequences.” that was his language after the saudi-led opec unexpectedly announced it would cut production. is it f

blinken urging lavrov to end what he called a war of aggression. sec.linken: president zelenskyy has put forward a 10-point plan for a just and durable peace. president putin, however, has demonstrated zero interest in engaging, saying there's nothing to even talk about. amna: lavrov blaming the west for prolonging the war. min. lavrov: while we are being called for talks, i don't remember western colleagues urging ukraine for talks, probably because ukraine is being encouraged for a continuation of the war. amna: blinken and lavrov last t in january of 2022, one month before russia launched its war in ukraine with global reverberations. a year later, growing worries over beijing and moscow's closer ties. blinken today threatened sanctions if china supplied weapons to russia, saying the issue was raised with chinese officials last month in munich and with partners in new delhi today sec. blinken: i made clear that there would be consequences for engaging in those actions. so i'm not going to detail what they would be. but, of course, we have sanctions a

blinken said he raised three points. the u.s.ts allies would support ukraine till the end of the war. he asked the russians to restart the nuclear arms treaty, which it has suspended and asked for the release of an american detainee. he said it was less than a 10 minute discussion. it was informal, it had not been arranged ahead of time but it was the first time the two men had that fe-to-face since the war started. moscow played it down. they said mr. blinken asked for the contact and it wasn't a proper meeting or a negotiation. >> a little earlier i spoke with in price. thanks so much for joining us. the 10 minute conversation, who did the talking, who did the listening? >> we are going to leave it to what the secretary has said of that encounter he had with the foreign minister but secretary blinken did convey three key messages he thought important to convey that directly. first, that your responsibility of moscow suspending of the new start agreement second the imperative that moscow release a citizen of hours they have wron

support for ukraine, blinken says he also urged russia to return to the s.t.a.r.t. nuclear treat tand free american paul whelan, who, the u.s. says, has been wrongfully imprisoned on espionage charges. they met for just ten minutes at the g20 summit in india, where blinken also said countries had warned china not to give russia weapons. and this is where putin needs them. fierce tank battles in the muddy fields of eastern ukraine, where both sides are losing men and equipment fast. we just had word now that a tank may have been damaged in battle, so, they're off now to retrieve it. and this is what's so important in this war. it's not just the equipment, it's the knowledge, it's the know-how of how to repair it and maintain it. the u.s. has promised 31 abrams, high tech equipment a world away from fixing tank engines on tree stumps. >> so, let's bring in james longman with us from ukraine again tonight. and james, the russians, i know, also reacting to this meeting today? >> reporter: yeah, the russians are downplaying the importance of it, saying that it was only o

chinese president xi jinping about the incident with spy bullets, and secretary of state anthony blinkeng a meeting with the chinese diplomat, warned him about sanctions that threaten beijing if he will still decide to support moscow. well, plus, the united states is considering sanctions against china and is looking for allies in this matter. they plan to introduce these restrictions in the event that beijing helps moscow in war against ukraine, what kind of sanctions washington will propose here, no one has yet reported, but recently the united states has repeatedly stated that beijing is considering the possibility of supplying russia with weapons, and the chinese refuse to actually discuss the role of the prc in russia's war against ukraine. us president biden is planning with german chancellor olof scholz in they will discuss all this with the white house. in general , the united states wants to enlist the support of its allies, in particular the group of seven countries, in the issue of sanctions against china. this is the head of the asian pacific region section of the center rese

secretary of state antony blinken never raised the issue of detained american paul whelan when he meteting, blinken said his release was one of the issues he raised with lavrov. said russia should end the war in ukraine, we have cnn standing by in hong kong, let's begin with new dehli. take us through the highlights and what, if anything, was accomplished. >> reporter: not really, from what i could see as of thursday and friday morning, the anti-u.s. rhetoric by lavrov and the anti-russia rhetoric by blinken hijacked the talk that is india was hosting in new dehli and appealing to the foreign ministers to keep that aside and they were unsuccessful to bring the west and russia closer in any way, you've spoken about the three points that blinken raised with lavrov according to him. he made the points in a press conference on thursday evening, local time, but lavrov and moscow have, in fact, moscow come out and denied there was any talk on the u.s. citizen called it a lie, strong words being used. according to the u.s. there was a ten-minute and meeting on the sidelines of the g20 talks

>> listen, it was rare and it was quite unexpected because just yesterday secretary blinken said thatno plans to meet with foreign minister lavrov, and then of course there is this brief meeting about ten minutes according to a senior state department official on the side lines of this foreign ministers meeting in india today. and one of the things that the secretary was very clear about was the u.s. messaging on ukraine, saying, of course, that the united states continues to support the ukrainians, and listen to how he described his message to the russian foreign minister to reporters after their encounter. >> i told the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week at the united nations and what so many g20 foreign ministers said today. end this war of aggression. engage in meaningful diplomacy that can produce a just and durable peace. >> now, the secretary also encouraged the russian foreign minister to reverse russia's decision to effectively pull out of the new start treaty. they announced that just earlier this month with the secretary of state reminding the foreign

>> reporter: according to antony blinken, he did talk about u.s.e said has been wrongfully detailed by the russians and he said that there was serious proposal put out by the u.s. that russia should consider. he also spoke to lavrov about how the war should end. his words there were end this war of aggression. lavrov himself hasn't spoken about the face-to-face meeting with blinken on the sidelines of the foreign ministers stop here, but according to moscow, yes, there was a meeting but there was no real proposal there that came about. any sort of negotiation between the two sides. also moscow said that there was no talk on paul whelan and that is a lie. strong words coming out from moscow there. and also let me tell you in the last 36 hours here in new delhi, the faceoff between blinken and lavrov has cast a shadow on the g-20 talks that took place thursday here in new delhi. a war of words that continued into friday. and according to lavrov the west is obsessed with talking about ukraine which is impacting g-20 talks because there was no consensu

earlier we heard from the us secretary antony blinken.old the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week at the united nations and what so many 620 foreign minister said today, and this war of aggression. engage in meaningful diplomacy that can produce injust and durable peace. strong words from antony blinken. russia had its own response. it's foreign minister held a meeting with his chinese counterpart and russian officials in moscow, beijing that are western black and threats. this hasn't been confirmed by china for that let's hear what he had to say. translation: unfortunately, the declaration on behalf of all 620 ministers could not be approved for the power western colleagues, just as they did a year ago on the indonesian presidency tried by all means using various rhetorical statements to bring to the for the situation around ukraine, which they of course present under the guise of so—called "russian aggression. ”. so—called "russian aggression. they met for about ten minutes on the sidelines of this meeting. our us

blinken said he made three ps russia should end the war and engage in peace talks. russia should resume weapons limits under an arms control treaty with the u.s. and russia should release american bunessman paul whelan this comes as russia is making rare gains on the battlefield as the u.s. worries china is considering sending weapons to russia for the first time today putin said that the u.s. would consider sanctioning china if it does send russia weapons lester >> all right andrea mitchell, thank you. >>> for the first time today, president biden said he'll visit the site of that toxic train derailment in ohio as we learn new details from federal investigators on what may have caused it gabe gutierrez is there. >> reporter: as crews scramble to clean up this creek in east palestine, ohio, tonight the ntsb says it's concerned aluminum protective covers on the rail cars melted, possibly contributing to the train derailment after facing criticism for not traveling to the site, today president biden said he'd visit at some point. >> i've spoken with every official in

the number of issues that blinken and lavrov spoke about during this meeting. signals this wasn't a diplomatic breakthrough, but quite significant that the secretary of state was able to deliver that message. >> and blinken has put forth a serious proposal with detaining the american citizen. what can you tell us about that? >> yeah, we previously herd u.s. officials talk about ongoing negotiations with russia to try and get out paul whelan wrongfully detained in russia four years now. but with the secretary of state with a proposal it indicates that there is an actual offer that the united states has put on the table. it's not just conversations about what they could do. it's an actual offer that the united states, that blinken said, he is urging the russians to accept. so, we're obviously trying to figure out a little bit more details about what that offer is. but i do think it's important to note that paul whelan has been left behind multiple times now, when there have been other prisoners swapped for trevor reed early last year, for brittney griner late las

this where you say the first meeting blinken had with counterpart since the ukraine war began.at's appalling. there's been very little contact between senior biden and russian and chinese officials. i don't really know why and i think this is caused a bad situation to get worse. blinken supposedly saying, well, look, we support peace talks or peace agreement under an agreement that zelenskyy put forward. that agreement is not viable. i mean, this administration is not seriously about peace talks, is not serious about end game for the conflict. we know the british, the french, the germans, they are talking about this to zelenskyy, biden has to put forward a solid and realistic peace plan to end the conflict. griff: do you believe that the administration is being tough enough on china with respect specifically in case of taiwan? >> no, -- i think the administration has played down origins of covid virus and repeated administrations on biden's weakness on the world stage has emboldened china and other u.s. enemies to try things they would not is tried in other circumstances. we've
