things in here to sign it and that would be great on join now from key buyer corresponding to conley nick trump says he expects prisoners liskey to appear in his office to sign an agreement in the next week or 2 . first of all, what kind of agreement are we talking about here? yeah, so just to be clear, really important, this is about the minerals and what about potential sci fi? will see the jump team has been claiming that it is close to reaching us these 5 deal. but i think that is realistically, still some time off. how this deal is going to look exactly, we don't know it. we know it's gone through several drafts and we've had leaks and we've had people speaking of the record about what was in the, the initial draft really shocked people here in ukraine, but also across europe. they spoke of economic colonize ation of ukraine by the us . if that were to happen, that deal. there was talk of hundreds of billions, maybe up to $500000000000.00 worth of money for the us in this there was $2.00 of us are excluding european another companies basically giving american funds 1st, right of refusal on

nick: trump spoke in the oval office with jordanian king abdullah and reiterated his vision of u.s. rship over gaza. pres. trump: we don't have to buy. there's nothing to buy. we will have gaza. no reason to buy. there is nothing to buy. it's gaza. it's a war-torn area. we're going to take it. we're going to hold it. we're going to cherish it. question: and, mr. president, take it under what authority? it is sovereign territory. pres. trump: under the u.s. authority. nick: egypt's foreign minister is in washington, and egyptian officials tell "pbs news hour" they're developing a -- quote -- "alternative proposal," no displacement of gazans. local gazans with no political affiliation would provide both security and governance, with the hope of transitioning to the palestinian authority. on x this afternoon, king abdullah wrote: "i reiterated jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of palestinians in gaza and the west bank.” forcing them to leave would be a war crime. but, today, president trump said all gazans would choose to leave, and jordan and egypt would accept them.

nick trump says he expects that lensky to appear in his office this week, or next to sign some sort of an agreement. what are you hearing about that from ukraine's government? the way it's clear, terry, that full name is lensky wants to meet trump in person before fighting and pushing does so that has been clear ever since the trump was re elected to the white house, as for whether he will sign them tilted line as jump once into and what this deal actually looked like, there are still sewage question marks that have been many, many drops of disagreement. we never obviously get the draft and it's kind of entirety. we just get briefings of the record. we have bits of snippets from both sides at his press conference, just on the weekend. ahead of the 3rd anniversary versus the invasion, we had moved into the landscape, talking about the fact that the initial deal was gonna take 10 generations for ukraine to pay back. that this was basically the us re, basically designating money. they've been given as a to buy, bought and as a loan. and now the money get back and not just them on the back

nick: finally, president trump has continued to joke about canada is the 51st state.uestioned the sovereignty of greenland and panama. what is the impact when the president of the united states questions the sovereignty of countries, including nato allies? melanie: i think canadians have been clear. they don't like it. we don't like it. we will make sure that never happens. we will continue to be the best friends and best neighbors america will ever have, but we will never be a state and we will never be a colony, period. nick: thank you. ali: in tonight's other news -- the white house is doubling down on its support of israel in its fight against hamas. marco rubio visited jerusalem today -- his first trip to israel as secretary of state. while there, rubio blamed iran for instability in the region and reaffirmed president trump's plan to take over gaza, calling it a bold vision for the future. for his part, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he and president trump have major plans for hamas if the group doesn't release the remaining 73 hostages. >> we have a com

trump: i thought his comments were good yesterday, and they're probably good today. nickhington, president trump suggested russia can veto ukraine's entry into nato. pres. trump: i don't see any way that a country in russia's position could allow them, just in their position, could allow them to join nato. i don't see that happening. question: when putin says that he really wants peace, do you believe him? pres. trump: yes, i do. go i believe he wants peace. question: do you trust president putin? pres. trump: i believe -- yes, i believe that he would like to see something happen. i trust him on this subject. nick: in ukraine, during a visit to a nuclear power plant, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said the u.s.' shutting the door to nato would be -- quote -- "difficult.” >> it's important that everything does not go according to putin's plan, in which he wants to do everything to make his negotiations bilateral between him and the united states of america. we as a sovereign country simply will not be able to accept any agreements without us. nick: if ukraine soun

president trump will not allow anyone to turn uncle sam into uncle sucker. nickp administration's push for europe to do more, now turns to the munich security conference, where vice president vance is leading the delegation. today, he and his wife usha visited one site of europe's darkest moment, the dachau concentration camp, where the nazis murdered tens of thousands of jews. it was liberated, by u.s. soldiers, 80 years ago this april. >> being here and seeing it up close in person really drives home what unspeakable evil was committed and why we should be committed to ensuring that it never happens again. nick: tomorrow will be a vital day for the trump administration 's relationship with europe and ukraine. european commission president ursula von der leyen will speak, followed by vice president jd vance, who will then meet with ukrainian president zelenskyy in a meeting ukrainian officials are saying today will describe, or will find out the country's fate. geoff: what are officials telling you ahead of what could be a pivotable day? nick: they describe them

paton walsh, who is in ukraine's capital of kyiv, and nick. trump also told reporters yesterday at his florida resort that zelenskyy's approval rating was at 4%. a poll conducted by kyiv international institute of sociology shows that it's at 57%. for whatever that's worth, how are ukrainians that you talk to feeling about zelenskyy, about trump, about all of it? >> look, i mean, ultimately, i think it's fair to say that over the three years of the war, zelenskyy's popularity has slid a little, but it's not slid to 4%. that is essentially a kremlin talking point. who moscow have relentlessly emphasized the belief they have bizarre from an authoritarian country themselves that zelenskyy is somehow not legitimate because he hasn't held elections suspended through martial law. the 57% figure was cited by zelenskyy himself, said he'd work in the weeks ahead to reiterate that number to do more polling, to essentially confirm it. but look, the concept of elections here in wartime, impossible to imagine how that would even happen. frankly, in peacetime. i'

and could it form a part of the conversation trump later today? nicktalked me through the panama canal. his comments came after the panama canal authority rejected the us state department's claim that that us government vessels would no longer be charged crossing fees to use the waterway. currently, the us makes up a significant proportion of traffic through the canal — accounting for 52% of transits in 2024. donald trump has been threatening to seize the waterway, alleging china's influence on panama. turning now to steel and moves by the japanese giant nippon to try and buy us steel. a deal was blocked by biden�*s administration who said it posed a national security threat. but what does a trump administration mean for the proposed takeover? and could it form a part of the conversation whenjapan�*s prime minister shigeru ishiba meets trump later today? nick wall is a mergers and acquisitions attorney, and talked me through the process that would be required to get the deal passed.— that would be required to get the deal passed. look, there's clear st

and nick. trump sent his russia ukraine envoy to ukraine today to meet with president zelenskyy. tell us more. >> yeah, i mean. >> we don't know much about what happened in that meeting. >> there had. >> been a suggestion that maybe we get a press conference afterwards that appeared to not be the case. apparently, the american side asking for less press availability. we heard from zelenskyy suggesting the meeting had been productive, that it would indeed touch upon it had indeed touched upon that rare earth minerals deal. again, trying to suggest, i think ukraine wants to move forward in finding a compromise there as well. and indeed, they discussed some of the elements of peace here, potentially, security guarantees, the return of prisoners of war. the issue really, though, is this whole visit, so long awaited by kyiv, has been overshadowed by the frankly horrific decline in u.s. ukraine relationship. trump calling zelenskyy a dictator. the zelenskyy suggestion that trump. lives in disinformation circle. and then the bizarre statement we heard from air force one last night that

trump three times. you have won twice. nick you voted for trump three times. he won twice., can trump do anything to disappoint you? >> i think the only thing donald trump could do right now to disappoint me was back down and not finish the job. we need to get to the bottom. we don't have to tear everything apart but when we've got federal employees who are doing exact opposite of what they've been instructed by their superiors to do that's wrong. these people need to go. they aren't in charge. they are to do their job the way they're directed. >> bill: nick, same question. a firm supporter for eight years plus. what can he do to disappoint you? >> i agree with don there. if he doesn't follow through. the 2016 presidential administration, you know, didn't get accomplished what i thought he would. i love how he is hitting the ground running. i can't keep up with all the things he is doing and so if he continues that track, then i think that i will be a supporter. i hope he just doesn't cave to those -- that influence of those unelected bureaucrats. >> bill: we'll check in wi

. >> todd: conservation continues now with alaska congressman nick begech. trumphe tariff threat work on china, as well? you know, i think it will. what we need to remember, as well, china was already restricting critical minerals coming to the united states. china was threatening us with export control on ger mainium, gallium, antimonium, what donald trump is doing is standing up for america and americans and putting people of america first and pushing back on china tariffs and export controls against united states. this is opportunity to have a broader conversation. >> todd: top goods imported from china, cell phones, household goods, computers, toys, games, electric apparatus, nonwool or cotton. what do you think of democratic colleagues in congress who ignored inflation joe biden caused and now they are acting like they care about cost of goods going up because it is connected to trump's tariffs? >> look, there is two ways you address inflation, first you stop deficit spending, money printing going on to finance this end manslless request listd inflation we're

nick, thank president trump says can happen, will it? president trump says will it? . , . .reasons i not going i 5—22 %—'——’ . a- — m7777 s— s—— . s e; witwill ha’ppéf witwill ha’pdédide'?" 77 it will happen the way happen. it will not happen the way he says it well. it on the he says it well. it relies on the ofjordan and egypt, e—=.ez the i fto w???» ”the f 7to pay probably ths sasdi’arabians to pay it, probably tbs sasdi’arabians to pay it, none of those have for it, none of those countries have will be part of it. and said they will be part of it. and need to cooperate. also need palestinians to cooperate. but he is the of the 292i)? is the president of the states, the most powerful man united states, the most powerful man in the so what he says in the world, so what he says matters has consequences. i matters and has consequences. i think what this is doing, even if it does not to pass the he does not come to pass the way he wants, this even if wants, this is doing, even if it does not to pass the way does not come to pass the way he as to feed the dreams and fantasieso

so what's next, amex ation it's nick station. when trump was us the about that to do it in the past confidence that the if we think i've done listed unexcused is going fine. and maybe this is what's really happening. so what happens to the people that know that and in terms of where they live, you've got uh, at least 40000 despise people. but if they're going to be next, are they going to give palestinians equal citizenship rights with these riley's, i'm not sure of the this and this they're talking about the jewish just a did you just have this quality for the jewish people, but the constitutional amendments make it clear that only the jews have the rightful national self determination. that said then about this place to the people we have the 90 percent of the people and goods are, were displaced and living in nowhere and nobody cares about them. all right, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for coming in and discussing this as well as 5 minutes. step in, you mean nothing, you know is wanting. the armies on stand by to re stop the wa

nick. >> yes, trump said it could be a big mistake. is, we've heard a lot about this us aid. this is a big thing. it looks like it's saying you said but it's us aid if you haven't heard about it. it was things like projects like giving $20 million to an iraqi version of sesame street, 2 million on morocco, moroccan pottery classes, 27 million on gift bags to illegals before deporting them. there's a whole list of absurd things you can. >> look up, but there is also drag shows in ecuador. and there was transgender pride in serbia, right? i mean, this is the sort of thing i can understand u.s. aid. it's the sort of soft projection of american values around the world, which sounds like a good idea, you know, democracy, stuff like that. but that's not the values that they're projecting. the values they're projecting. the values they're projecting. the values they're projecting are essentially sort of communism and transgenderism. >> yes. and the idea is, oh, we're going to trump's making a big mistake because he'll lose soft power to china

nick, president trump has disparaged president zelenskyy several times today. update our viewers. >> yeah, i mean, look, we've had a bit over the last 24 hours to try and repair the relationship with trump's special envoy to the ukraine and russia conflict, keith kellogg, here talking to president zelenskyy. zelenskyy saying the meeting was productive, that it restored hope. and indeed, kellogg himself in very few comments he's made, calling zelenskyy embattled, courageous, with a talented security team, saying they had long and intense days trying, i think, to restore an atmosphere of their ability to work together. but again, after calling zelenskyy a dictator, suggesting that aid money had gone missing, multiple separate false accusations against zelenskyy, we heard again. trump speaking to fox news radio suggesting that zelenskyy essentially had somehow failed to stop the war. he did admit russia attacked at the beginning of it, that some kind of concession. here's what he had to say. >> and then he complains that he's not at a meeting that we're having wit

nicked. now, trump said he's never going to touch social security, but the idea that they have this fear in the back of the head, i mean, that is a huge political liability for donald trump. and so, look, this is fine when it goes at warp speed, which is what elon musk is doing right now. but eventually reality does set in and i didn't. and i'll stop here. but it was notable today that marco rubio came out and said, i am now effectively running usaid, which was interpreted by people i talked to as an admission that usaid will survive. it will be in the state department. it will not be eliminated, as elon musk had said, which to me signifies that the trump people know that there are some vulnerabilities here. >> susan. >> when it comes to public opinion about u.s. foreign aid, does a lot of it come down to the fact that the benefits aren't tangible for american voters? and if it's not something they can point to in their communities, they're happy to say not all americans, but they're happy to say, i don't know, maybe we don't need to be spending money like that. do they not understand that that

trump administration, a lot to cover. but this is the one issue that politically will matter most. >> that brings us back to tariffs. nick, when donald trump said that this was going to be easy, this is a very complicated situation. but talk specifically about tariffs and how that could impact inflation. >> well, tariffs could. >> send. >> prices up if they don't. >> you know the. >> trump administration argues. >> that they won't send consumer prices up. they could send the dollar up. and what that would mean. >> is that u.s. manufacturers. >> companies that export it becomes more expensive for them to do that. it puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage. and, you know, trump's treasury secretary last year warned that tariffs were inflationary. he wrote this in a letter to his investors before he was really in the picture to become the treasury secretary. so there is some awareness, i think, inside the trump administration that they've got different levers to pull here. they will argue that bringing down energy prices, that cutting government spending might help in the other direction, but it's just a more complicate

this is carefully timed to get trump on putin's side ahead of these ukrainian negotiations. >> so, nick, if this is a precursor to negotiations between the united states and russia over the fate of ukraine, what does this mean for kyiv, especially as we're seeing secretary of defense pete hegseth visiting with nato leaders, saying that returning to that 2014 border with russia is unrealistic. >> yeah. look, i mean, it must have been, i think, quite an uneasy day for volodymyr zelenskyy. he had thought, perhaps on friday when donald trump said that they might meet this week, that he could in fact, be discussing in person with trump what the peace deal might look like. instead, he got the u.s. treasury secretary turning up in kyiv with essentially a financial type of deal defining their relationship with the united states going forwards. we don't know its full content. it probably involved rare earth minerals to some degree, but certainly during that failure to sign the deal, as perhaps had been expected by the trump administration, news emerged that in fact, trump had been on another pho

and cassandra stewart says it would be great if nick could do the show alternating between a trump andtier care voice impression. >> reading impression.

we've got the daily mail now, with trump trying to force his rules onto states that don't want them. nickeclares. see you in court in brutal transgender face off with democratic governor at white house. many people will have seen this clip, many people on many sides. and it's a janet mills who's governor of maine. and trump says he's getting rid of this. he's done this executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in girls and women's sports. basically biological men. and he said he's the governor of maine here. and she said, yes. and he said, are you going to comply with. and she's like, i'm complying with state and federal laws. he said, well, we are the federal law. boom. mike drop. he said, you better do it cause you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't. and she says, see you in court. he says, good, i'll see you in court. i look forward to it. that should be a real easy one. it was. >> just one of the. >> just one of the. >> best clips anyone's ever seen, and this is what you have to do. then he said, and you probably won't. and he said, enjoy

trump's envoy to ukraine met with president zelenskyy and took a decidedly different tone, calling zelenskyy an embattled and courageous leader. here to help make sense of this, if possible, cnn's nick paton walsh in kyiv, ukraine, and jeff zeleny at the white house. jeff. president trump is only accelerating his attacks and revisionist history on ukraine and zelenskyy even stating it's not important for zelenskyy to be at meetings where his country's face will be. fate will be determined. >> jake, that certainly has been his posture all week long, and we've really seen it escalate day by day. and here we are at the end of this week, and the relationship is afraid, to say the least. just a moment or so ago in the oval office, where the president is swearing in his commerce secretary, he was asked again if he believes vladimir putin is a dictator, did not answer that question. of course, the reason that is important is because he has been calling vladimir zelenskyy of ukraine a dictator. of course, he was elected freely and fairly. however, earlier today the president. explained in some context why he's so frustrated with zelenskyy. let's watch. >> i've had very good talks with putin

trump administration. and what's coming out of the nick on the ukraine, who or what we've had, some of the trump administration, and it's only been less than 4 weeks. is a threat, some terrorist and even a close out like canada and becoming the 5051st state. i mean, this is an alliance you'll nato allies. alliance is work on trust. do you have any trust to the us now? obviously change times are changing quite often and these days, so you have to know where you're standing ourselves. we have sending us europeans for our values, but also for our interest. and our reading is that it's none of the people's interest me the on the american side. now people in europe, if they can not pay the cost of living anymore. and we have seen, if you're in a trade war, this raises the cost of living for normal citizens. so it's in the interest of normal people that parked in us a working together. i'm not going in a trade, so what we'd see each other. but we made also very clear, it was a lot from the line here. if somebody is not thinking of this partnership or terms anymore, risking their own people's daily life, we have stan

and as trump's public feud with ukraine is growing uglier by the hour, nick paton walsh, who spoke with zelenskyy earlier, is out front in kyiv. >> this was the day it was all meant to get back on track. president trump's envoy keith kellogg coming to town to listen. >> we understand the need for security guarantees. >> but he was walking into a storm. hours earlier, trump falsely said ukraine started the war. >> you should. >> have never started it. >> you could have made a deal. >> and he falsely stated zelenskyy had only 4% approval rating. basically, kremlin talking points at which zelenskyy hit back. >> unfortunately. >> president trump. >> i. have great. >> respect for him as. >> a leader of a nation. >> that we have. great respect. >> for the american. >> people who always support us. unfortunately lives in. >> this disinformation. >> space. >> trump retorted with extraordinary words, calling zelenskyy a dictator, refusing to hold elections, falsely repeating half of u.s. aid had gone missing and saying zelenskyy wanted the gravy train to keep going and had better move fast if he

front lines, and clearly a very transactional approach towards this relationship from the trump administration. nick paton walsh, cnn, kyiv, ukraine. >> and for more on all of this, let's bring in cnn's senior military analyst and former nato supreme allied commander, james. he's also a partner at the carlyle group, a global investment firm, and serves on the board or advises a handful of defense related companies. admiral, thanks so much for being here with us. i want to start first with the fact that the united states position and the position of its president when it comes to russia's war in ukraine is so dramatically different than it was a year ago, essentially placing the bulk of the blame for russia's invasion of ukraine on ukraine. and i'm just curious what you make of this shift. >> well, it's. >> clearly attributable to president trump himself. and, uh, let's start with the facts, because facts are stubborn things, jessica. and fact one is ukraine was invaded by russia. we all watched the tanks cross those borders. we watched the aerial assault on ukrainian cities. we followed the human ri

trump's envoy. cnn's alayna treene is at the white house. but first, let's go to nick paton walsh, who is in kyiv for us this morning. um, this is a lot to take in and a lot of fear there in ukraine. what is the lensky saying about all this so far? >> yeah. >> let's just be quick to recap here. we've gone from a us-russia summit that appeared to be about a larger washington moscow entente. with ukraine's peace somewhere on the list of things to deal with, to an extraordinary 72 hours of insults being traded. zelenskyy gingerly. i think having to correct trump's statement that ukraine started the war and that zelenskyy had 4% polling rating existential questions here in kyiv that they simply couldn't allow to go unanswered. he kept saying how much he respected trump when he said trump was in a different space. and then we had that litany of mistruths from trump about him being a dictator, refusing elections, how money had been stolen here. but that all really got in the way of the key thing here, which was kyiv's first real grasp with the part of the trump administratio

front lines, and clearly a very transactional approach towards this relationship from the trump administration. nick paton walsh, cnn, kyiv, ukraine. >> joining me now is kira rudik. she is a member of the ukrainian parliament and joins us now live. thank you for joining us here on cnn. donald trump, he continues, as we've seen quite vividly this last week, in the last few days, he's been bashing president zelenskyy. now he's pressuring him into this minerals deal, one without security guarantees. how is all this going down there in ukraine? >> hello, kristie, and thank you so much for having me. well, indeed, people are really worried. worried especially the military who are fighting at the front line because it is unclear on what's going to happen. and the main question that we do not have answered right now is how anyone would make it, that russia would stop fighting us because this night we spend the majority of the night in the bomb shelters or under the stairs for me and my home, because there were 267 drones and missiles coming our way. and we had to fight that back. so it's no no peace in fo

so clearly, there's a lot for them to discuss when it comes to trump generally. cnn's nickon walsh asked zelenskyy yesterday at a press conference about his personal relationship with trump. here's what he said. >> my relationship with president trump. it's never was in such. best way. >> clearly struggling to find the most diplomatic words to describe that. claire. but what do you think president zelenskyy's approach now to president trump needs to be? >> well, look, i mean, i think this is going to call on all of his skills, his leadership skills, his rhetorical skills, his diplomatic skills that he has shown over the past three years. that comment that you played initially when he said, you know, he would himself step down if it meant nato membership. i think that along with various other things he said, show that he is trying to rise above these personal attacks that we've seen from the trump administration. those two leaders have beef dating back to the first trump administration. i think it's clear that some of this is personal even now. but zelenskyy, you know, he is

just yesterday, zelenskyy was asked about his relationship with donald trump by our nick paton walsh. let me play how what how he responded. >> the president. >> my relationship with president trump. it's never was in such. best way. >> there's a lot going on in that those silent moments i mean things are not good there. and as someone who cares deeply about the future of ukraine, how do you think zelenskyy should be approaching his relationship with donald trump at this point? >> well, look, i think i, i approach this issue as deep concern about u.s. national security as it relates to ukraine. and that's i've been talking about this for years. it is squarely in u.s. national security interest to support ukraine, to have a strong transatlantic alliance and to stand up against autocrats. what we've seen in since this invasion is a violation of a rules based order that the u.s. helped to establish, and that might does not make right, and that, you know, larger neighbors can't attack smaller neighbors. and that's a lesson that's going to be very well received. and in places like china, w

and nick, you write that very much could go wrong as trump pushes for an end to this conflict. >> yeah. look, i mean, the choreography of how this is coming together is fascinating and abnormal. i think it's fair to say we've known that at the munich security conference this friday and saturday, the envoy for ukraine for president donald trump, keith kellogg, is likely to present to allies parts of his plan here. but then suddenly we have this flurry of activity involving trump himself, who on friday suggested that he might indeed meet ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. this week. and then zelenskyy's team appear to have moved quite fast to try and get that to happen. and instead they've got this team of, quote, serious people coming to ukraine ahead of the munich security conference. we don't know who they are. i would suggest if they were very serious, he probably would have given us the names, but a lot moving in private here at this point, conversations clearly like that trump had with putin. the kremlin simply haven't even confirmed happened. and so there's clearly a bid to

front lines, and clearly a very transactional approach towards this relationship from the trump administration. nick paton walsh, cnn, kyiv, ukraine. >> nick, thank you. what did you do last week? an ominous email to receive from your employer. but that is the reality for some federal workers tonight. what elon musk says will happen if those workers don't respond. >> the whole story with anderson cooper tomorrow at eight on cnn. >> dry eyes still feel gritty, rough or tired with my bow. eyes can feel. >> my bow. >> my bow is the only prescription dry eye drop that forms a protective layer for the number one cause of dry eye. too much tear evaporation for relief. >> that's my bow. yeah. >> remove contact lenses before using my bow. wait at least 30 minutes before putting them back in. eye redness and blurred vision may occur. >> i bow, bow. >> ask your eye doctor about prescription. my bow. >> my eyes, they're dry. uncomfortable looking for extra hydration. now there's blink neutral tears. it works differently than drops. blink neutral tears is a once daily supplement clinically proven to hydrate fro

. >> president trump was present for the swearing in of howard let nick to be u.s. commerce secretary. secretary let nick expressed gratitude to serve and expressed his vision for the department. the president also responded to questions on doge, tariffs, and the war in ukraine. pres. trump: he's a great guy. i want to congratulate you and your entire family. howard is one of the most experienced and talented business leaders of our time and did an amazing job on wall street and far beyond, but more importantly, he is a patriot who loves our country and has shown tremendous courage and strength throughout his career. howard began at the same cantor fitzgerald at -- in 1983, and by the age of 29, he rose to become the president and ceo at one of the hottest firms on wall street. much like myself, howard should not be here today. on september 11, 2001, howard's company was at its absolute height of my dominating wall street and stocks and bonds and trading from its headquarters on the 101st through the 105th floor. he had the top three or four floors of the world trad

americans know what the real economy is and the current economic team of president trump knows better than nick and the new treasury secretary scott bessent put it in very sharp focus with an interview with larry. roll that tape. >> as i've said, wall street where you and i came from has had it great. wall street can continue to do just fine and now under this administration, it's main street's turn. david: that i think will hit americans on the target. they know that's true and if they're able to prove it to middle class americans and main street america that now there's more opportunity and more money in our pocks, that's going to guarantee successful midterm election; right? >> that's right. by doing the tax cuts very important and getting the cuts made permanent and continue to cut taxes and even further, deregulate. this will increase the supply side of the economy, which will combat inflation. one of the most important things scott bessent said in that interview with larry, they're not pushing for a rate cut from the fed right now. that was misreported and a lot of people saying oh, trump

nick: on ukraine, the biden and first trump administration's always said publicly that ukraine deserved its territory taken by russia including crimea, invaded by russian soldiers and annexed in 2014. today, russia controls just under 20% of ukrainian territory , land that he said today was impossible to restore. >> we want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine . but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. nick: ukraine will need long-term security guarantees but said they would not be provided by nato. >> the united states does not believe nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable european and non-european troops. if these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-nato mission and they should not be covered under article five. amna: to kickstart -- nick: to kickstart negotiations, pr

nick, we also heard this today from president trump. >> sir, on ukraine. when putin says that he really wants peace. do you believe him? >> yeah, i do. i believe he wants peace. i believe that president putin, when i spoke to him yesterday, i mean, i know him very well. yeah, i think he wants peace. i think he would tell me if he didn't. i think i'd like to see peace. >> do you trust president? >> i believe that, uh, yeah. i believe that he would like to see something happen. i trust him on this subject. >> nick, as someone who's been to ukraine many times covering this horrific war, how do you think those comments are going to play in ukraine? >> yeah. i mean. >> unfortunately sounds a little bit like. trump is putting an awful lot of faith in his, at times very rickety relationship with the kremlin head. remember, ukraine has been at war for over ten years now and has seen multiple ceasefires and peace deals in the earlier phase of the war in 14 and 15, broken by the kremlin, who simply used it to let their proxies continue their military goals. so there

was no press conference, zelenskyy seemed to be sending a message directly to donald trump in this readout, which nick paton walsh provided for us, saying that it is important that american strength is felt here in ukraine and eastern europe. donald trump does not seem to see it that way. why do you think that is? >> well, i think, boris, that the fact of the matter is that president trump is failing to appreciate one of the key elements of this. when you think about russia's war of aggression against ukraine, you have to think about the costs of action and the cost of inaction, frankly, and the cost of action, that is to say, the costs of defending ukraine's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity going forward. to be clear, they're significant. they're sizable. the united states has contributed tens of billions of dollars in terms of security assistance, humanitarian economic assistance. our european partners, by the way, have contributed more. more than 50 countries have contributed contributed to this effort because as was a rallying cry on the part of the republican party and and many

trump? i seem to have lost you nick. i think what you're asking me though, is a question on what's going on in ukraine right now with this world war of words taking place between lensky and on the trunk wells that lensky says very clearly. the one donald trump is in a russian. this information bubble that he's power takes russian lines almost to wholesale and he's hit back saying that actually i am the legitimate president. busy of ukraine for institutionally, that is actually correct on this. i did that of i didn't go a full percent approval. racing will a pull type old came out just a few days ago that gave put it about 57 percent. but let's take a closer look at all of this. uh, with my colleague charles ratford. winter and ukraine seems particularly be to this year made was perhaps quite a cold realization. the tree is off, the rush is full scale invasion. the country can no longer rely on its friends to defend it, but any cost. many of the it's a shows the 3rd part those, cuz it seems to me that trump statements are

president donald trump... said donald trump... he wants the us to "take over" the gaza strip and turn it into the "riviera of the middle east". bbc verify�*s nickeally take ownership of gaza and turn it into the riviera of the middle east? the us will take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it. we will own it. this is the area we are talking about, the strip on the mediterranean. around 25 miles long and roughly six miles wide. around two million housed in a sliver, most of whom have around 2 million palestinians live there. most of whom have been displaced internally by the war between hamas and israel. a huge amount of damage has been done to infrastructure over the past 15 months. but could gaza end up under us ownership as part of a reconstruction plan? the short answer is the experts we spoke to think such a plan would involve clear violations of international law. firstly, article 2.4 of the un charter says the use of force is illegal. members agreed to refrain in international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. the idea that this would benefit the

trump envoy. our chief national security correspondent, nick paton walsh, has details. he's joining us from the ukrainian capital of kyiv. nick, this meeting with keith kellogg clearly left an impression on zelenskyy. >> yeah, certainly. in his nightly address to ukrainians saying how the meeting has indeed restored hope. and mentioning how they addressed security guarantees, the exchange of prisoners of war, potentially, and also the economic elements of their relationship with the united states. that pointing towards the rare earth minerals deal that trump's cabinet and trump keep talkingbout. but what a tumultuous 2440 eight hours for u.s. ukrainian relations. they've certainly taken a blow. this is the closest ukraine has got to president trump's noisy push for peace. president zelenskyy has wanted to meet u.s. envoy keith kellogg for weeks, just not on a day like today. with the u.s. ukraine relationship crumbling around them, making what they actually discussed matter less and less. well, we're now leaving president xi after being told that we're not expected to g

so, nick, i mean, what impact are president trump's comments expected to have there? >> yeah, i mean, i think it's important we correct the record of a couple of things the president said in that interview. he said that nobody tried to talk putin out of the invasion. well, the united states made public their intelligence that russia was about to invade. and indeed multiple occasions. and the cia director, bill burns, it seems to moscow to lay out the fact they knew this was going to happen until the russians not to do it. so that's one issue. the other thing he said is that he's had three years to negotiate or in negotiations. there have not been meetings for three years. ukraine has not been talking to russia because they don't trust it at the negotiating table, and because many of ukraine's allies have also felt that diplomacy hasn't been the way forward until russia seems ready for it. so just part of the issue here, i think, is a lot of the things we're hearing trump say are revisionist to some degree today. he said that russia did ed attack, and that's correct. b

president trump has said he wants the us to take over the gaza strip and turn it into the riviera of the middle east. bbc verify�*s nickey has spoken to international law experts to understand if the us has the authority to do so. can president trump really take ownership of gaza and turn it into the riviera of the middle east? the us will take over the gaza strip and we will do a job with it. we will own it. this is the area we're talking about, the gaza strip on the mediterranean. it's around 25 miles long and roughly six miles wide. around two million palestinians live there, most of whom have hamas and israel. a huge amount of damage has been done to infrastructure over the past 15 months too. but could gaza end up under us ownership as part of a reconstruction plan? the short answer is the experts we spoke to think such a plan would involve clear violations of international law. firstly, under article 2.4 of the un charter, the use of force is illegal. members agree to refrain in international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. the id
