connell? connell: you saw the president with his jacket off in that clip you just played, liz it was 87 degrees and sunny in geneva and he was getting a little bit warm so he took it off during the news conference. there were claims broadly speaking from both sides the day went well here. first we actually heard from president putin who had the first news conference after the summit wrapped up, characterizing the talks between he and president biden as constructive, and then biden said the tone was good, and that kind of things but it was clear from hearing both men speak and we were in attendance for that, biden news conference, there are still deep tensions between these two countries on issues like cybersecurity and certainly human rights. on cyber, putin talked broadly about further negotiations between the two sides, where biden says he was more specific in warning the russians what they need to stay away from. here is the president. >> 16 specific entities, 16 defined as critical infrast

let's get to connell mcshane live in geneva with more on the summit today. connell.orter: there were claims from both sides, liz, the day was relatively successful from their point of view. after three hour plus meeting between president biden and president putin, putin a he merged with a press conference that said the talks were constructive. biden said the tone was good. at the same time it remains clear that tensions are high between the two countries especially on cyber issues and human rights. a lot of time was spent between he and president put. the american president was quite specific suggesting what the russians need to stay away from. here is how he put it. >> 16 defined as critical infrastructure underu.s. policy, from the energy sector to our water systems. of course the principle is one thing. it has to be backed up by practice. responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory. reporter: critical infrastructure should be off limits says the president but what consequences would the russians

connell mcshane in geneva, thank you very much. let's get to the markets, slipping in the final hour after one inflation gauge came in a lot hotter than expected in may. the labor department reported that the producer price index jumped 6.6% last month. that, by the way, the largest gain since 2010. another worrying report out today the, retail sales dropping 1.3% in may after rising .if 9% in april. -- .9% in april. could this be a signal that the economy no longer getting a boost from all that fiscal stimulus? we'll have to wait and see. i want to bring in our traders, break swenson and tom hayes. gentlemen, the fed kicked off its two-day fomc meeting today as two major economic reports were released. we did see the s&p close at a new record yesterday, by the way. just has to make any sort of gain today to also post another record, but my question to you two is what can we expect from the fed tomorrow, and how will whatever they say impact the overall markets? greg, let me begin with you. >> yeah, good question, ashley. i think t

great work, connell.ring the overseas trip, especially comewell where some were calling the g7 summit the selfie summit. there wouldn't be many smiles when president biden goes one-on-one with their aides in the room. we have heritage foundation genevieve woods. what are the stakes in this meeting? what are we looking at here? >> they're fairly high, charles. we're fairly early into the biden administration a lot of world leaders like vladmir putin what is biden made of? does he have tough talk or back up what he says? going into the summit, vladmir putin is no gorbachev and joe biden is no ronald reagan. i don't know if we'll see some kind of a reykjavik summit. i'm not expecting that. biden talks tough what does he do? obama legacy so far all over again. leading from behind. we made appeasement to russia on the nord stream pipeline. we disappointed some of our allies in europe. there is no evidence yet beyond talk that biden will do anything. if you're vladmir putin this is tough guy. you may call him a

connell, what do you make make of what's happening there?und the country more than any other anchor or business reporter, you've seen it yourself. but in vegas they were stopped. there were no business conferences crowds, they sorely need this, don't they? >> they're almost back. the last numbers that we had were from april, a few months ago. they were at 73% of their prepandemic levels. with over 2 1/2 million people going back to vegas. certainly as we move back into the fall, we'll be back where we were. on domestic level vegas is where it needs to be or even above that. two challenges that remain. one are the business conferences. they started to return. but that will be slower, right? a couple reasons. one is the pandemic. a lot, especially big businesses realize they don't need to spend the money on those types of conferences anymore. you might not need the attendance you saw in the past. other thing for international visitors. despite what you hear for scott's propensity when he hits vegas. international visitors, are the real high ro

thank you very much, connell. appreciate it. >> eu joining calls for a deeper probe into covid origins. former cdc director dr. robert redfield telling fox signs pointing to a lab leak have always been there. listen. >> when i said before that i didn't think it was biologically plausible, that covid-19 went from a bat to some unknown animal into man and now have become one of the most infectious viruses to man immediately, that is not consistent with how other coronaviruses have come into the human species. david: reaction from former national security council chief of staff fred fleitz. fred, first of all your reaction to dr. redfield? >> i think he is exactly right. there was overwhelming evidence in 2020 that this virus originated from the wuhan lab but i think this information was deliberately played down and misrepresented because there was an effort by the left, big tech, major media to defeat trump trump. they want the virus totally blamed on trump and united states. they didn't want china to be blamed. dav

fox business's connell mcshane is live in brussels with the very latest. hi, connell.eporter: david, good to see you. i will pick up a little on the conversation you and charlie were having, there is no doubt about it, you were right, russia and china is hanging over the meeting of nato allies, even though neither one is here, conversations about those countries dominated talks behind closed doors you would assume and on the sidelines between world leaders, similar to what we saw at the g7 summit wrapped up in the uk there over the weekend. as for president biden, the third thing besides russia and china i would add he is doing in the overseas trip, he has done it over and over again, try to draw some distinction between his approach, particularly on international affairs, and approach of the previous administration. sometimes it is a subtle comment. sometimes not so subtle. earlier today he talked about how he sees the nato alliance. here is the president. >> i want to make it clear, nato is critically important for u.s. interests in of itself. if there weren't one we

david: connell, thanks very much. don't trip yourself to run over there. it is wild running from one conference to another. let's bring in nsa director, retired general keith alexander who has been watching all of this with the rest of us. i want to focus, if you don't mind, general on the issue of cybersecurity. we have again, this is coming from vladmir putin. he is putting the best face as he can on all of this, using his past history as a kgb agent to throw kind of a little disinformation there. he said there was no hostility in the meeting. there was understanding with each other. in a interview a couple days ago he claimed his government, he in particular had no connection whatsoever with all of the hat attacks eminating from russia. you talk about election interference, solarwinds cyberattack and of course the colonial pipeline. do you believe that the russian government had nothing to do with those hacks? >> clearly the solarwinds they were involved in. they led that. that was the sdr. i think that is clear. interesting you bring up disinformation.

i have a feeling that senator mcconsistent connell won't let his members get roll. it's the democrats that are in a fix because they don't have enough votes to play with. if they had 55 seat majority, maybe they would be fine. but they don't. they have 50 and they still have senators like manchin and kyrsten sinema. i'm surprised that the weak-back was just so strange. i have to wonder, what was the chief of staff's strategy here, what was the intent. they made everybody mad and have nothing to show for it. chris: all right. mo, let's now put it in the democrats' camp. all would adegree, it's never good when the president has to clarify a statement at such length as this one, a formal written statement. how much damage did he do by saying at first, right after, within two hours of the we have a deal in the white house driveway, saying, look, i'm not signing one without the other. now he's walked it back. how much damage did he do originally and let's talk about it from the democratic side. because by saying i'm going to sign this, now he's ticked off some of the dem

what are you picking up out there, connell? >> interesting. a bounceback things are great. think about david lee miller's story at the airport. the demand is back and surging. we see it on the small business level as well. we have the problems we've been reporting on for months. you are right, we've had a series on the economy we've been reporting from 12 states over the last two months and get to as many more as we can. we see it over and over in cape cod getting ready for summer. they can't find workers. people are dying to get out and back to vacation areas and come back. businesses are having trouble filling the open slots. so some restaurants are either not opening up or not opening up at full capacity as a result. same in spokane, washington the minimum wage is already high so the owner of a burger restaurant out there was telling me that he had been paying workers close to $15 an hour before the pandemic. now because of the enhanced unemployment benefits coming from the federal government and high unemployment benefits in the state of w
