Omni bus? >> i believe it will and that money is divided between humanitarian aid and military aid. we need to do sanctions, stop in order stream 2 and work with nations to press charges against vladimir putin as a war crime, violating war crimes rules within the icc or the u.n. as a forum. we need to do that. it wont ashame putin, but it may make russians ashamed of putin and send signals around the globe this will not be tolerated. i have a bill that would clarify that no president of the pres...

Points around the world arent threatened. you have threats with iran and the straits of hormuz constantly. we have to be on the lookout for other parts of the systems that could be pressured. lastly, the russians are going to affect the economy in europe, weak teb alliance that the u.s. has in europe. europeans have been strong in general in terms of their retort to russias actions. germany has declared obviously the in order stream two pipeline is on hold given russian actions. thats good. but ...

Should russia not respect this right of ukraine, that it has as a transit country, so in order stream 2 is an additional project and certainly not a project to replace any kind of transit through ukraine. anything else would obviously create a lot of tension and were also talking about how we can actually make this very clear together. we also talked about other priorities in our foreign policy, for example, our relationship with china. we are countries who stand up for free democratic societies...

For example, we newables, and were in competition with others on this planet, and we would like to be successful together and germany is very much looking forward to cooperating in this respect, and i support the president in what he proposed as a global infrastructure project which we agreed on on the g-7 summit. next year well have the challenge of the g7 and well bring this project forward. we talked about russia and ukraine and in this context also about in order stream 2. weve come to diffe...

Really supported by other g7 members. >> you know, i think so because i think that basically biden has a number of important advantages right now. the problem is that putin has thoroughly penetrated europe and so biden is not going to have the support of germany on important things. remember the u.s. relieved the sanctions on the in order stream 2 pipeline. that probably was not a good move but certainly made putin happy. it made germany happy and one other thing that probably had a china connec...

You made a really important point there, dana, about the e.u. they issued a statement a couple of days ago saying we dont have the same concerns about china that the united states does and our policies will therefore deviate from the united states when it comes to dealing with china as a threat to the far east. i thought it was interesting. they wanted to get it laid out on the table before the president came. look, with our allies even when they are with you, it takes some work to keep them wit...

Putin. what happens when the president meets with putin in-person? >> reporter: that is going to be a difficult one. ive been speaking to some folks in the russian opposition, speaking to analysts in and around europe and one of the request he is that keeps coming up is what exactly is the benefit for president biden in doing this summit? i a the love them that ive been speaking to say, look, on its face of it the fact that the summit is taking place, a u.s. president going to a neutral country ...

Old cold war in me that understands that. i was mad when billy graham went to the soviet union. but ben sasse said were rewarding putin with a summit, his puppet lukashenko hijacked a plane to get protosevich. were treating him, his treasured in order stream 2 pipeline and legitimizing his actions with a summit. this is weak. so ive said before, you know, in the past i certainly with the soviets skeptical of any meeting. i, of course, maybe im older and maybe im just weaker, too, but i want bide...

Nato allies and european partners to impose financial sanctions on russian banks or prohibiting transactions with russian defense companies, going more after their energy sector, including the in order stream 2 pipeline, those sort of actions would have a profound effect on the kremlins calculus. but tit for tat expulsions dont do. >> it michael carpenter, welcome to the program. gentlemen, thank you very much. shes one of a dozen women who accused donald trump of sexual harassment during the ...

Debate about these increased sanctions coming from the house and the senate? >> well, richard, i think the short answer is no. in terms of the russian retaliation at this point it appears to be largely largely s metric. theyll russ the mubz of u.s. personnel and russia well be bringing home some of -- theyre taking away a couple of facilities that we operate in russia essentially a compound thats used for weekend barbecues and a warehouse that stores furniture. its not biting in terms of its eff...
