geoff, go ahead. >> okay.going to say i mean, i don't know if you can describe president putin as convivial in that sense, but i thought there was a reaching out. on a number of occasions i pressed him on that issue as well and said, look, if it's a question of any town, any time, anywhere, would you be up for it because there are a number of opportunities. the slovenians offered their capital, the finns offered their capital and the icelanders offered reykjavik, which might be chilly for both, but i got the feeling that president putin would like this face-to-face good time soon. >> good interview, thank you, geoff cutmore in russia. >>> europe and the u.s. face a growing push toward isolationism in issues and particularly in trade. we'll talk about these big picture ideas. joining us by phone is ambassador michael mcfaul former ambassador to russia and michael porter, harvard business school professor. he's looked at the economics of the shifting landscape. first to you, ambassador mcfaul. your reaction to p

we got a jam packed hour for you, culminating later on in the day with the interview that geoff c geoff cutmore has with vladimir putin. markets are trading modestly higher. the ftse 100 up 0.1%. benefiting from the weakness of the pound in the triggers of the article 50. xetra dax up 0.21. cac 40 higher to the tune of 0.1%. a fairly quiet session. let's look at some sectors driving us higher today. what we're seeing is that oil and gas is leading, when it comes to the sectors, because we're seeing another day of increases for the oil price. the third day in a row. financial services, construction material doing better. on the down side, autos, real estate, and telecoms slightly underperforming. let's get back to our top story. theresa may is set for another battle in parliament, this time to push through her great repeal bill. a piece of legislation aimed at removing eu law from britain's statute book. the government will publish the white paper today, which will be debated, consulted on and very like likely amended over the next few >>> several eu officials condemned theresa may's sug

good morning, geoff. >> a very good morning, frances.hat, the markets have given i think their seal of approval here. europe is open higher and the u.s. futures are pointing for further gains here. so, i think some relief that donald trump didn't say anything to unnerve markets, even if he didn't give us too many details at this point. and the markets focus very quickly now shifting to the fed meetings next week to see whether we get our interest rate hike. >>> who's new in the tv market? it looks like it's going to be youtube television. they're talking about a skinny bundle, $35 is the subs to get you this new live channel. number of the major broadcasters have signed up for this, but it's worth pointing out cnn are not yet on board. i just want to wrap up on snap here. we'll get the ipo pricing today, and it looks like there is a lot of excitement around this story. but is this just an over-hyped social media business? apparently sources suggest that the company are also looking at a drone camera business which may add another leg to

geoff, fantastic conversation, sir. fascinating interview there with president putin.thank for carving out some time for us here in the states. >> you're welcome. >> ivanka trump officially a member of the white house team but will not be divesting herself from her company. the former chief white house lawyers under george w. bush will join me. speaking of george w. bush, he reportedly had an interesting reaction to president trump's inauguration speech. fun in art class. come close, come close. i like that.

back to you. >> yeah, geoff, absolutely. and clearly the investment banking part of the business is where they compete with the big u.s. guys and they lose there. so it will be interesting to see if this will allow it to fight back in terms of the position it used to have. just more broadly on terms of the timing, you know, some headlines suggesting that this is highlighting the very negative outlook that european banks still face versus the u.s. banks which, in fact, are boosting capital return at this time to their shareholders. ha said, could we look at this darnlts way, particularly off the back of unicredit doing their own capital raising. european banks drawing a line under what has been a torrid couple of years. >> yeah. however, it's like getting blood from a stone. the housing financial crisis was nearly a decade ago and still we see european banks in special measures and resorting to self-help tools to try to convince investors the keep the faith. but i think john cryan made a very important point to me, and that i

geoff: i do not really see the downsides. there is a a will, way, as they say in the old cliche. ision is whether the political will with the absence of such a big economy from the tpp. having the u.s. in made it very attractive. having countries take that step further in liberalize asian than they would have done otherwise. >> in 2017, you have china stepping in and making these comments defending free trade, liberal trade. it is fascinating because there has been a lot of talk about whether their leaves a vacuum in retreating andps becoming more isolationist that there is a space for china to step up. geoff: it is ironic when you see xi jinping's speech at the rates devos, beingt the champion of globalization, it seems unbelievable. china has been the single biggest beneficiary of the openlization and markets we have seen and it has brought china into the international system. china has a lot to lose if we have a return to protectionism. can they show leadership, i think they have started to show leadership in a number of example, areas, for the investment bank, the bricks bank

geoff? >> yes, we are at the arctic forum with president putin talking about resources in the arctic, the environment, and, of course, the issue of militarization at the arctic. i had the opportunity to put questions to him on a panel here, and, of course, ongoing the obvious question, did russia try to interfere with or influence the u.s. presidential election? let's hear what he said. >> translator: ronald reagan once debated about taxes and the american said, watch my lips, he said, no, watch my lips, no. >> reporter: so a very clear "no" as far as putin is concerned, and he went to quite some efforts, several times, to say, no, russia has not beenfei level in the election process. there's many who just won't believe that answer, but we will wait and watch and see what the intelligence committee throws up. so, obviously, the follow-up question is really why do you think this is happening? why do you think russia keeping coming up when it comes to u.s. domestic politics? again, let's liste

. >> thank you, geoff.? snis. >> thank you, geoff.snis. >> thank you, geoff.. >> thank you, geoff. yes so i want it talk about what i think the trump administration confronts. i won't try to explain what their policy is wabecause i thi their policy is something still being developed. but i want to look at it from the standpoint of the kind of things they might do. let me start by just sort of noting two things to begin with. one is that obviously as geoff said, the president of the united states referred to this as the worst deal ever negotiated taen reflects, i think, not just a view of what negotiations produce, with you an inherent sense that deal itself has within it or producees a number of vulnerabilities. and i want to address some of that. and since the joint comprehensive plan of action, if you listen to the general, he says iran has been much more in the region since. so the administration is confronting what they see as vulen vulnerabilities that flow from the deal in the nuclear dimension but also it's dealing with or thinks it must deal with what are the implications i

fabulous job of geoff cutmore going eyeball to eyeball with putin. >> holding his on. >> that's not anasy thing to do. that's a career moment for him. that was very impressive stuff. >> we agree. thank you. eamon javers in washington. >>> president trump expected to sign two executive orders today aimed at trade. one calls for a study of past trade agreements looking at whether they delivered on promised benefits. second order designed to improve the collection of financial penalties against other countries for dumping goods or illegally subsidizing companies. yesterday commerce secretary wilbur ross told cnbc that the trump administration wants to start the nafta renegotiation process before congress goes on its april recess. secretary ross will be joining "squawk box" again later this morning at 7:00 a.m. eastern. >>> secretary of state rex tillerson is in brussels today attending his first nato meeting. he is expected to press allies to step up defense spending. >>> still to come here on "worldwide exchange," spacex makes history with the launch of its first recycled rocket. the det

speaking to geoff cutmore at the arctic forum, the russian president, vladimir putin, defended russian military p exercises and pointed the finger at nato. >> translator: their activity is much higher than ours, several times higher. if you look at the number of the russian and nato jets flying over the baltic sea, several times more activity on their part. after that, someone tries to accuse us of aggressive behavior. it's id'dle talk, just for the sake of media. >> and rex tillerson is set to attend his first nato meeting in brussels today. he suspected to press allies to step up defense spending reiterating calls made by president trump. willem joins us from the nato meeting. how will the allies respond to this? >> we were speaking a few moment guys from the lithuanian foreign minister you heard mr. putin saying nato is the aggressor flying over the baltic, but lets when to what he said about defense spending. that's another top priority here today. lithuania promised to increase defense spending to 2% of gdp by 2018. >> we have to play our part, it's not normal when united states,
