. 0k, give cash governor of kentucky, thank you for - else. 0k, give cash governor of kentucky, thankou forjoining us live from davos. staying with donald trump, he's ramped up pressure on russia to negotiate an end to the war in ukraine. he threatened financial penalties on the country if it didn't reach an agreement to end the fighting. let's get to new york and north america business correspondent, ritika gupta, who has more. donald trump's warning made in a social media post on his third day as president called out russian president vladimir putin by name. he said putin should make a deal soon, or else he would, quote, have no other choice but to impose additional taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on russian imports to the us, along with other participating countries. now, it is not clear what goods would be subject to the penalties that trump threatened, or which other nations might be included. the trump administration could potentially target russia's major oil producers, a move that incoming treasury secretary scott bessent endorsed last week. the us has already imposed extensive

that changed everything in kentucky. it's an investment that changes the next 30 years. ford invested $5.8 to build two incredibly large battery plants and one of the next big movers. both required foreign investment and while we're here, we get to talk to ceos directly here at davos with thousands of jobs in our state and there's lots of better reasons to come but the chance in a short period of time to communicate with and to continue the trust with to find out the different concerns to hopefully announce expansions and that's a real value for governors to be in the room with business. >> pushing back for this point and evs and the free money for charging stations and embracing the ev industry in a major way and biden administration was in a proponent and beneficiaries and i imagine that foreign companies do we think overtime it's constructed overtime. >> federal overlay may be shifting andim private sector ad its direction are not. now evs were picking up steam before in the biden administration and they're going to continue after the biden administration. the speed m

prestageed in kentucky. in eastern kentucky where it can be some of the hardest to get it back up, the number of trees and the terrain. we have an entire state park filled with utility workers from other states that are already going to work. you know, my concern out there right now is the wind gust can make putting the buckets up difficult and then if other people are out on the road, just the concern that they could slip or slide and the danger that could present to utility workers. so, if there is something positive right now about having 100,000 people without power is it's pretty spread cross the state. though some counties are hit more than others. what that means is it is multiple utilities, which means that we can have a pretty significant response. but, in each of our hard hit counties we have warming centers that are open. we are getting the word out to people. so those that lose power that have medical devices that need to run, need to be moving towards that warming center, if you don't have power

the governor of kentucky is our guest. >>> this morning, a state of emergency has been declared in kentucky as a powerful winter storm has been bringing dangerous and potentially deadly conditions there and across huge swaths of the country. i'll show you what it looked like outside of lexington, kentucky, as some of the worst of the snow is hitting. a car flipped over, and a number of accidents like this one have also been reported. joining us right now is the governor of kentucky, governor andy beshear. governor, thank you so much for coming in. how bad of a hit is kentucky getting from this storm? how are things going right now? >> well, this is a very significant winter storm. yesterday, we got 6 to 8 inches of snow across most of kentucky. then most problematic was the half an inch of ice that hit everywhere from western kentucky through the i- 64 corridor. half an inch of ice is bringing down tree limbs, is bringing down power lines, so it created two major problems. one, the roads became really treacherous. we had to help about 280 stranded motorists. we had a lot of jackknifed truck

here's what he had to say at an event in kentucky. this is a day i think many people in northern kentucky. so might never have. for those of us who've run for public office in kentucky over the years, every time you came to northern kentucky, the issue was, how are we going to get the bridge built? and as all the kentucky politicians can tell you, the issue of possibly tolling the bridges was very, very toxic. and so today we said in this wonderful, clear day with sunshine down on literally a legislative miracle, how did it come together? well, senator portman, from moving had a chance to hear, was active, urging on our side. several democratic senators on the other side came together and began to talk about how we might be able to work together to get an outcome. we all know these are really partizan times, but i always feel no matter who gets elected, once it's all over, we ought to look for things we can agree on and try to do those. even while we have big differences on other things. and this bridge, i think, symbolizes the coming

to discuss that response in kentucky, let's turn now to kentucky's governor. governor andy beshear, who's joining us now from frankfort. governor, thanks so much for being with us. we were just talking to a meteorologist there in your state, walking us through what you all have seen. i would like to hear how the state is responding and what you're hearing about that. response. >> well, we are in the midst of a severe winter storm. >> the first third has pretty much come through kentucky with significant snow. we we had great meteorologists like alexa and others give us significant warnings that allowed us to prepare. >> but certainly the move from snow to ice is really concerning. much of our state is predicted to get at least that quarter of an inch of ice, if not three quarters of an inch of ice, which would make traveling really hazardous, as well as potentially cause significant losses of power. we've gone from about 8000 power outages to 15,000 power outages really, in the last 20 or 30 minutes, as the ice has really started to hit western kentucky and no
