the e.u.greeing to reform those fiscal rules to boost defense spending, where are we in this process? >> let's look at what we got materially. we expected another 20 billion euros in affect events packet for ukraine. that did not happen. we were discussions about putting forward one representative to help negotiate on europe's behalf. this is been talked about the last few years. that did not happen. what did happen was moving forward this idea of the fiscal rules. the e.u. says this could unlock 650 billion euros over four years. with these fiscal rules, a lot of these rules are not necessarily follow by many countries to begin with. they often run afoul of them. because you give the extra headroom to give spending at the national level allowing countries to acquire, debt doesn't mean they will do it. there is other limits, for example, the bond market, fiscal strain within the nation, so the 650 billion euros is not direct money, there is also this 150 billion euro loan the e.u. is talking a

>> reporter: tonight, all 27 e.u. came together for the first time since last week's frankly explosive meeting between president trump and zelenskyy. approed plans that could provide up to $800 billion to beef up the bloc's defenses with the e.u. commissioners saying europe is ready to assume its responsibilities amid russia's war and ukraine. we heard from french president emmanuel macron who said france would consider extending the protection of its nuclear arsenal to its allies across the continent while president zelenskyy posted online that he expects to "have a meaningful meeting with the u.s." as early as next week. whatever the case, vladimir putin remains defiant. tonight he said russia would only seek a peace deal that safeguards its own long-term security and will not retreat from any of the gains it has made in the conflicts. >> john: imtiaz tyab from kyiv. thank you so much. the clock is ticking on the possible government shutdown. yes, it's that season again. if congress doesn't pass legislation by midni

of utmost importance to step up the defense investment for a prolonged period of time. >> reporter: e.ue excited to unveil a package that excited to unveil a defense package that also includes ukraine and brussels. there are many questions. for one, how much assistance will they give? what weapons and potentially troop deployment if any? and, whether it will all be enough to counter russia, and john, possibly without the united states. >> john: ramy inocencio for us. thank you so much, ramy. >> reporter: you bet. >> john: the reshaping of the u.s. j justice department continues, with more career prosecutors being fired or moved out of long-held positions. cbs news has learned nearly a dozen senior prosecutors who handled january 6th related cases were demoted last week. the move was at the direction of the acting u.s. attorney in d.c., ed martin. justice department correspondent scott macfarlane joins me now. what was the reason for these motions that was given? >> reporter: ed martin has made the argument on social media that echoes the claim from donald trump, that he believed the jus

and the e.u. over support for ukraine and its fight against russia. >> mr. secretary. your entire delegation, welcome to the pentagon. it was wonderful to meet you the first time in brussels and have some great interactions. our nations, as you know,, share a long relationship. stronger than ever before. i experience not firsthand myself, as many of our generation has, on the battlefield, shoulder-to-shoulder with british troops in afghanistan. i know how capable they are, how tough they are and how close our bond is as bad across the atlantic. -- as brothers across the atlantic. we went to work together to achieve peace and security by working to bring an end to the war in ukraine, building sustainable deterrence on the continent, then increasing our allied capabilities and interoperability. european leadership of nato, led by the u.k. and others, is we believe, the future of defense on the continent. ensuring we provide a peaceful future for your kids and my kids and your grandkids and my grandkids. that is what ultimately it's about. i also want to thank the british

and that's literally when we take over the e.u. >> jon: holy shit!ise, centrally planned social engineering scheme. but here we are. the end result of a scripted arc that culminates in america betraying its old alliance for the lore of a strongman partnership that carves up the world's rich bounties and places classic democratic values behind transactional convenience. so say it with me, conspiracy theorists: by design, it's a new world order! so europe, sadly, if i may: when we come back, matthew desmond is here, don't go away.

he threatened tariffs against mexico, e.u., and russia.'t think he's trying to use tariffs to take over mexico, e.u. and russia. >> i don't know anybody that watch that lived together saw somebody who is approaching this discussion respectfully. i think we saw this with zelenskyy in the oval office and you don't think this is a guy coming in and a strong way to debate negotiate with president trump. with that being said go to he's talked about tariffs and prices going up in economic pain. i had a conversation with larry kudlow last night on his show about which, president trump is addressing the tariffs. we have to listen to businesses right now, the ceo of target said, we will try to protect the consumer as much as we can coach about prices will go up. best buy ceo came out and said, the majority of our goods come from china and mexico our prices will go up. this is a president who promised he would a tackle affordability crisis. so we have to watch that carefully. a print out that sheet from the green room every day i look at it and cons

and the e.u. over support for ukraine and its fight against russia.

nontariff barriers being erected around the world like nonscience-based environmental regulations in the e.u. the current playing field is not level for our producers, and righting the ship will not be an easy task. but we cannot let the almost $100 billion in total trade deficits experienced over the past four years continue to widen and worsen. keep in mind that simply right-sizing the expected trade deficit of $45 billion in 2025 would provide more support and more certainty to our farmers than the entire end of year package. i urge the trump administration to aggressively pursue new access to markets and be prepared to stand by our farmers and ranchers if these disruptions start impacting their bottom line. i think we all celebrate the bridge that we were able to accomplish in december. it is just a bridge. the $20 billion -- more than $20 billion in weather-related assistance. the $100 billion in economic disaster relief, which was somewhat unprecedented. very proud of what we were able to deliver for the american farm-ranch family. we need brook rollins to be confirmed by the full sena

then it's always good to have friends and that's what you need in the long run, e.u.hip and effective nato membership. calm down is my message. take a deep breath, take the ice bath and go to the sauna and stay cool and collected is the best way to deal in a world of public diplomacy where things get out of hand, let's just bring it back, behind closed doors and find solutions. tom: fenlon's president alexander speaking to francine talking of the need for defense in europe, defense stocks rally today and rhetorical commitments ramp up spending. similar moves across saw, systems, innovation, double-digit gains that we watch in the lead up to the open, expect strong reactions. what stay on the defense story because germany's parties forming a coalition, germany's ability to support europe in ukraine will depend on whether politicians put party agendas to one side. they are the author about a book about the history of east germany called beyond the wall and she joins me now. what your expectation, good morning, thanks for joining us, when we know about these talks? is ge

and the e.u.the end of the next decade, and rival drugs are already emerging, like zepbound by eli lilly. i asked the chief executive, lars fruergaard jorgensen, about regulatory pressures and future growth. so, how do you think about pricing? again, you must have gotten some difficult questions from governments, but also, this goes back to innovation. lars: most products are priced according to the value they bring. and i feel really good about the value of our medicines, what they bring to the individual patient, but also the value to the health care system. and we have, today, health care systems around the world who were typically designed for acute care. but finding that 80% of the cost in the health care system is linked to chronic care. and we have portfolio products that are really addressing some of the chronic diseases of our day and age. diabetes, obesity, and the comorbidities that follow that. we know that there are projections that say, by 2035, the world obesity federation predicts

it's mexico, canada and china and now talking about e.u. where does this stop? we go tit for tat. he followed his tweet with farmers have fun. this is a farmers' livelihood. this is not a game. >> my name is alissa. let me pull this up. i joined the army in april of 2001 when i was 17 between my junior and senior year of high school. quhen returning from basic training, september 11, happened. boy, i was filled with such pride to serve this country. i was mobilized after graduation and deployed to afghanistan in january of 2003 and i returned in june of 2004. i became a government contractor with halliburton and i continued my service in afghanistan until 2008 working in aviation operations. that's when i decided to return home to new york to strt a family and get a college degree and i graduated from magna couple laud yes. and in 2017 i became very ill and too sick to work. in late 2018 i was diagnosed with adreenal cancer probably caused by burn pits. i was totally disabled and i have always worked since i was 14. i always knew i wanted to go back to work. i took several years t

state department was recorded in a phone call where she said we want the guy, f the e.u. and by the way, zelenskyy only received 72 billion dollars. so there's 105 billion dollars of equipment running around here, where is it? and why won't the media talk about that? host: you were talking about stacey abrams. i wanted to share something with political fact. they looked into this and they are saying that there is no evidence that abrams was a senior counsel one of the five member organizations of the clean energy coalition that received $2 billion in funding from bidens epa. abrams was not paid by communities and did not receive any federal funds, its ceo said. the epa said it is awarded a grant for a competitor view process. there is no funding that evidence the fun was fraudulent or that abrams personally benefited from it. power forward communities recently announced the first face of projects granted by the grant. they rate that's three false. caller: political fact? they are garbage. politifact, you guys have got to quit using these for your source, good god. they ar

president is also expected to talk tough on tariffs especially as it relates to canada, mexico and the e.u. plus he's expected to highlight the more than 1.7 trillion dollars in investments made since he took the oath of office in this effort to bring back manufacturing to the u.s. including increases in energy production and investments in the private sector and much, much more including ai. the president posting this on truth social. he said tomorrow night will be big. i will tell it like it is. he promised that he's likely to include some pretty straight talk on ukraine which as you point out has benefited from hundreds of billions of dollars in aid during its war, a financial resource that's been cut off at least until ukraine comes back to the negotiating table ready to talk about a peace deal or at least a cease-fire. several different lawmakers say they plan to bring federal workers impacted by the doge layoffs and... we're talking about 100,000 people already cut during the first 6 weeks in office. as for the democratic response, that is traditional and that will be delivered we ha

head of the e.u., we want to rearm europe. words for now, general.ssue of putin and we'll get to zelenskyy next. here is marco rubio on abc regarding putin. >> the only way it ends is if vladimir putin comes to a negotiating table. right now president trump is the only person on earth who has any chance whatsoever of bringing him to a table to see what it is he would be willing to end the war on. maybe their claims are what they want, demands will be unreasonable. we don't know. we have to bring him to the table. you want bring him to the table if you call him names and being antagonistic. >> bill: that's the setup. general. where are we? what do our viewers need to understand? >> i think on putin and eventual peace deal the jury is still out. we've had the second meeting on the 28th when the deputies met in istanbul, turkey. i think the secretary of state rubio, after getting debriefed on what took place there, they aren't convinced that putin is ready to come to the table and make serious compromises. right now they are taking a hard line approach.

the e.u. bought a whopping $22 billion in fossil fuels from russia in 2024 alone. europe is making potent filthy rich so he can continue to feed his war machine. america, we should be supplying europe with all of their energy needs and hopefully under donald trump's plans that will soon be the case as we move towards energy dominance. if you want to know how prudent is funding his war, look no further than the european union. trump gave angela merkel the white flag of surrender after germany did that multibillion-dollar energy deal with putin. so if europe once this war to continue with no end in sight, they are going to end up being on their own and it's not going to end very well. i'd like to see the killing stopped, i'd like to see the destruction stop and i'd like to see the rebuild of a country before it's too late. but as president trump stands ready and willing to make a deal, earlier tonight i asked vice president j.d. vance about this and so much more. here's part 1 of our interview just a couple hours ago. >> sean: inc. you for being with us. let's go bac

in the e.u.r visa revoked if you are violating the public order, or if you can't prove that you have the financial means to sustain yourself. in the united states, exactly the same. there's nothing controversial. if you commit a crime or even engage in moral turpitude you could have your visa revoked. being in this country is a privilege, not a right. i am representing dozens of students across this country in lawsuits against universities and colleges who are experiencing systemic civil rights violations. a lot of it is stemming, not just from foreign students, but also from foreign funding. this is an incredible first step. the next step really is to see what is the wrought going on in our schools? guess what? it is not just foreigners. there was a report that came out, and american student at georgetown university whose father is a member of the hamas foreign terrorist group, a designated terrorist group. her own student profile that she worked for the mystery of foreign affairs in gaza, which

e.u. said $150 billion defense fund for europe. germany said they will do $400 billion defense fund in the years to come. real results literally because of the hard-line tone president trump taking to demand from europe. do you have to be able to stand on your own and that is a partner america needs in europe to stand on its own. that is what we will get, a real partnership and not forever your. >> harris: congressman mast, thank you for being on the "focus." let's go back to the hearing and denver's mayor more than talking with those mayors with sanctuary cities. denver's mayor on the hot seat periods copyright, republican congressman for pennsylvania. let's watch. >> how about you? according to our records you have welcomed 51,648 illegal aliens to your sanctuary city. so i ask you sanctuary from w what? >> if you are referring to the number of individuals bust from governor abbott without any coordination go to the 2,000 individuals seeking asylum, those individuals were bussed to us and i passed bus ordinance to coordinate with

the head of the e.u. said it's time to rearm europe. the british prime minister chimed in with this. boots on the ground was the quote. watch. >> the u.k. is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air. the support piece in our continent and to succeed. this effort must have strong u.s. backing. we're at a crossroads in history today. this is not a moment for more talk. it is time to act. time to step up and lead. and to unite around a new plan for a just and enduring peace. >> bill: if all that is on the table here, and zelenskyy comes back to sign this deal and he said this over the weekend. there hasn't been a day we haven't felt gratitude. gratitude for the preservation of indepens dense. it is based on what partners are doing for us and their own security. if you can align all this up, sir, you then put the pressure on putin to find out whether or not he is ready for peace. does the white house believe he is at this moment? >> well, all of those things have to be tested, bill. but what we don't have right n

with the with the e.u. facing a u.s.nd just -- response beyond unfair trade, but i to resip proprocandidate against europe's vat tax and its fees and lawsuits against american companies. joining me now in this" sunday morning futures's exclusive is the nation's commerce secretary, howard lutnick. secretary, thank you of for being here. >> great to be here, mafia. martha: secretary, you were sitting across from the president on friday. before we get to tariffs, i want to get your reaction to what a went down. how us with the in the room -- how was it in the room, and do you believe democrats were egging on zelenskyy to not sign that rare earth minerals deal? >> no. so we were 40 minutes before the cameras came in, 45 minutes before the meltdown. 9 and the fact was zelenskyy never stopped asking for, you know, i will give no concessions. they've got to leave my land. i want reparations of $300 billion. and i want the united states to give me security guarantees while they're at war with russia. and that's why the president

he's ran on this, he's trying to deliver on this and interestingly enough, the e.u.spending now because of this. things are starting to fall into place hopefully. >> trace: it's interesting because saying there's this push and pull, do you see an appetite on all sides for this thing, for this war to end? >> the ukrainians cannot indefinitely fight russia especially when the united states yanked our intelligence support and our military supplies. it will take the europeans a long time to build up their own industrial base of their military and supply ukraine. i hope and pray it will happen soon. i doubt it. in the meantime, putin is grabbing as much territory as he can in ukraine. it's not going well for russia. russia lost 700,000 killed and wounded in this war in three years and it -- only took 20% of ukraine when they intended to take keep in three days. biden did not supply enough weapons and support for ukraine to win against russia. >> trace: i hear you and i've got to go but i want to get -- let me just get cully stimson his take on this, talking about iran. tr

and so, again, those are the two biggest ev markets in the e.u. don't like what musk had to say about europe and european politics, and they've really turned against him bigtime. novo nordisk. i alls like this stock. offering -- i always like this stock. offering a discount on wegovy. how big? how do i get it? >> over 50%. cash-paying customers, $499. the overall list price is $1350. so that's over half off, right? just pay $500 instead of -- stuart: it was $1,350 -- >> and if you're an all-cash payer, you can get it for $499. stuart: is that somebody who doesn't get it on insurance? >> that's what i'm assuming. i don't think you actually have to pay cash, i'm assuming you're just going around insurance. stuart: you personally are buying this, $500. >> correct. and this is really to take on eli lilly who had a similar story where they were cutting the price of their drugs, i think their small vials, by $50. look, there's competition. so you want to get in there -- stuart: capitalism's a wonderful thing. >> imagine that. stuart: taylor, we'll be wa

e.u. saying they're going to open up $150 billion defense debt fun.'re going to open up $400 billion in a defense fund, that's all because of rump -- president trump's tone with europe. larry: i don't want to be cynical, too cynical. do you buy europe? do you think they'll a make good on their commitments, brian mast? >> yeah. they're going to make good on these things because they realize what's taking place whether it was j.d. vance at the munich security conference speaking to them, whether it's myself speaking to delegation after deaf division, president trump or, now name it -- delegation. the message has been made very clear. europe, you have to be a partner that that doesn't lean on america like a crutch but a partner that makes us as a true alliance where you're stronger than -- we're stronger than ever because you're just as strong as us. larry: you know, in our last minute or so, more tariffs on china, 10% plus, 10%, 20%, plus what we did four or five years ago. i was at the g20 meeting in buenos aires with xi jinping and president, and trum

europeans are trying to erase those doubts, and tonight endorsed a rearm plan, expanding the e.u.'ending by $800 billion and giving governments money to invest in ukrainian weapons or buy american weapons to send to ukraine. polish president andrzej duda speaking at nato. >> if the whole of nato does not increase their defense spending, then, unfortunately, possibly, vladimir putin would be eager to attack again because there would not be enough of a deterrent. nick: on the red carpet in brussels today, europe and ukraine standing shoulder to shoulder. volodymyr zelenskyy, ukrainian president: you made a strong signal to ukrainian people, to ukrainian warriors, to civilians to all our families. and it's great that we are not alone. we feel it and we know it. nick: but ukraine also feels nightly russian attacks. and once again today, russia struck a civilian target, this time a hotel in president zelenskyy's hometown in southern ukraine, where american volunteers were staying, including adam. >> i'm sure there's a reason that we have all survived, and it's so that we can continue to

and the eu agreed for zero for zero tariffs for american and the e.u. spirits and our industry thrived as a result of that, with 450% growth. the same for here in the united states, with our friends in mexico with tequila, of course, and canadian whiskey. so unfortunately, our industry has gotten embroiled in this broader dispute. and we're distinctive products. you can only make canadian whiskey in the u.s. in canada, of course, and american consumers love canadian whiskey. and canadians love american whiskey and american distilled spirits. so this industry, as we're tied to the agriculture community, obviously, grain to glass, bartenders, restaurants, bars and taverns, we're an industry where we're supporting toasts, not tariffs. and we'll work with both governments to find common ground, to find an exemption for the distilled spirits industry. >> you said toast, not tariffs. exactly, exactly. my colleague john king spoke with retailers in canada earlier this week, and this is what they had to say. >> we've gone through this before with. >> the russia

alex, we are we're waiting on a final statement from the e.u, but we haven't had that yet. >> but indeedng to say europe has reiterated several times to zelenskyy, we need the u.s, you need the u.s. so let's get back to the to the table as soon as we can. so, evelyn, the question to you is, how are lieutenant general kellogg's comments putting this on ukraine going to be interpreted by zelenskyy? >> well, okay. first, alex. >> i was actually. >> in the room. when general. >> kellogg was making. >> his comments and he went even further. he talked about the minerals deal as sort of really the only deal. when he was asked about security guarantees for ukraine, he said, well, not everything is kinetic, which is kind of interesting coming from a general, because really a security guarantee has to involve kinetics, meaning it has to involve the military. an economic guarantee is not a military guarantee. it's not a security guarantee. so unfortunately, i think what we heard from, you know, general kellogg in that public forum. well, it was a public forum, but it was open to the press at the co
