on the trip, trump met with french president emmanuel macron, and they shared this very interesting handshakee you go. he does not know how handshakes work? put 'er there, pal. time for a hug! bring it in. during the ceremony in the cathedral, trump was seated near first lady jill biden. that is an admirable example of people with different political views respectfully sharing the experience of a solemn ceremony... is what i would say if trump hadn't, and this is true, immediately turned the picture into an ad for his new fragrance. in response, dr. biden used the photo to sell her new line of pepper spray. i got a little something. trump's new fragrance is called fight, fight, fight. i'm sorry. that's copyright infringement. there's already a cologne named "fight, fight, fight." and it's called tequila. the ad is captioned "a fragrance your enemies can't resist!" yes, the best way to defeat your enemies is with smell, reminds me of this moment from "lord of the rings." >> you have my sword. >> and you have my bow. >> and my axe.

prime minister justin trudeau in canada, german chancellor olaf scholz, french president emmanuel macron they say that biden is in good company and that weight for the decades to come in the future, and then perhaps then reflect on what his presidency meant. i heard that sentiment a lot last week, with officials reflecting on some of the very fond remembrances of the late president jimmy carter. of course, another president whose term was vexed by a hostage crisis and soaring inflation. but certainly they were remembering carter and his many works very fondly in that moment. but jake, i think when there is that 2020 vision of hindsight for many of these officials and they look back on the last four years, they acknowledge privately that perhaps they lost the narrative. in the words of one senior biden adviser, that, yes, the first two years were very stacked with tons of legislative accomplishments. but then the focus really turned to supporting ukraine and trying to stop the war between israel and hamas from escalating. and they say that perhaps president biden and the administration mo

included per the biden administration, as will two french israeli citizens, per france's president emmanuel macron. israel will gradually release 737 palestinian prisoners, in addition to 1167 gaza residents who were arrested during the war. israel will also gradually withdraw from populated areas in gaza, allowing gazan civilians to return. there will also be a major increase in the amount of daily humanitarian aid allowed into gaza. also during phase one, israel and hamas will begin negotiations for a permanent end to the war, which would be implemented at the start of phase two. assuming we get that far, and if that process takes longer than six weeks, the ceasefire apparently will continue as long as negotiations continue. that's according to president biden. joining me now from tel aviv is nbc news international correspondent daniele hamamdjian. daniele, good afternoon to you. in israel, we know the cease fire is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. your time. that's 1:30 a.m. tonight. our time in eastern time. we expect the first round of hostages to be released. the timing and the details remain uncle

and we've seen emmanuel macron already talking about this, that europe needs to be more independent. so they're all trying to weigh and figure out how they're going to deal with trump and whether there are actually any opportunities for him being in power in terms of trade deals. >> i want to i want to go to washington now, and i want to get your take on what you believe. this idea of a large bill to push through a lot of the trump agenda going forward, what that is going to mean, what the difficulties are with that, what the possibilities are for that. and if you look at just some of the things that apparently are going to be in there, tax cuts or the extension of of tax cuts, especially for wealthier people, the border and also energy as well, where are the potential pitfalls and why do you think they're doing this? >> right? it's going to be a huge challenge to to get this passed. i know the thinking behind it is that if they were to break it down into all these different, separate bills, then then that would also pose huge challenges as well, because they'd have to negotiate each

very, very seriously from the prime minister, the british prime minister, even french president emmanuel macron, speaking out yesterday, seemingly baffled and accusing elon musk of meddling in european elections. do you think elon musk has that much power? >> well, i think the fact that people think he does means he probably does. look, what look what happened in the united states when we tried to pass a bill before the holiday break? that was a compromise, bipartisan, bicameral bill that virtually everyone agreed on. it was going to become law. and elon musk enters the fray and defeats it. and then we pass something just to move along, just to kick the can down the the street. it accomplished absolutely nothing. but it showed early on that he does have this. you know, the joke was calling him president musk. i think the the actual term that should be played is oligarch. this is an extraordinarily wealthy person who has disproportionate political power, having not been elected to absolutely anything. >> mm. >> um, elon musk also connected with another news breaking news story that's come out to
