All the reasons we have stated. theres no agenda and just this unpredictability of this american president. whenever those tv cameras are around and the microphones are on you dont know what to expect. but for helsinkis part, this is city that has brokered these kinds of meetings before, a country part of the european union but not part of nato. so it walks a fine line. >> affording itself some neutrality. kal perry talking about what might happen when the microphones are on. something else unpr...

Alla allies to meet with some of our staunchest adversaries. in the wake of what should have been friendly meetings, hes left the ashes of some of our alliances. those alliances hes not totally a blit -- obliterated hes chipped away at. now we see him going to the warm embrace of vladimir putin. its hard to not find the similarities between these two as much as john bolton might like to say. >> ned, we heard that story lavrov told yesterday or so that it was america that asked for the one-on-one...

Thats occupying places. we have to stand up for this. i must say, as somebody who has prepared presidents for things, been in the pre-briefs, and the president sometimes -- whatever president, george w. bush or bill clinton will look at the notes and say, you want me to say this? we say, yes, because. he goes, okay, ill do it. theres a sense of working with others and working with a state apparatus. this president just doesnt have that. >> where are the career people who, like you, would be play...

Meeting, just the two of them, and their interpreters in the room. president trump has ratcheted down expectations for this meeting with vladimir putin, saying he has low expectations, which i think is fairly notable, given the intensifying pressure on this president from lawmakers, democrat and republican alike, to really call putin for account for what is the consensus view was a nefarious act, an attack on the heart of democracy. russias meddling in the 2016 election. so far, weve seen the pr...

Along. we are the two great nuclear powers. we have 90% of the nuclear, and thats not a good thicng, its bad thing. i hope we can do something about it because its not a positive for us, its a negative for us. well be talking about that among other things. >> weve also heard some observers note that president putin appears to be right there, stride for stride, in understanding english. he of course speaks english. though to minimize mistakes, interpreters will be working with both men in their o...

The day. but president putin, as we understand, had note paper and a pen to make notes, if there were only interpreters in the room, who are the secret keepers of the political moment. this will be a time for the men to make their own statements, try to frame and set the agenda for the way they want the meeting to be recorded. well see what happens in a volley of questions, if we can tease out the areas they most want to avoid, and if president trump can find some topic area where he can call th...

To what he said to the -- to putin. normally, when you have at least interpreters, youd grab that interpreter. by the way, interpreters, thats a very special skill. they are interpreting almost simultaneously, although it is consecutive in a meeting like this, theyre not thinking about the meaning of what theyre doing. theyre trying to get the words right. the interpretation right. theyre not necessarily the best note takers, even though theyve rendered every single word of the conversation. oft...

And he also does not embrace nato and the eu. >> even more striking on friday in light of the indictment of 12 russian intelligence officers. were going to take a break in our coverage to update you. both men are in their bilateral session behind closed doors. we believe only with interpreters. just a little choreography here. theres a chance we may see the two of them as they go into a somewhat expanded session with aides to talk about what theyve just agreed to or discussed. either way, this l...

Putin is no longer in isolation or being punished for the aggression against ukraine or the hacking of our election. its sort of let bygones be bygones. thats not the approach we should be taking when there are so many issues the russians have to answer for. the problem is putin doesnt take responsibility for anything. when he gets in the room with the president without the staff involved, just the interpreters, hes going to give him lectures about the history of ukraine, which will try to convi...

Should, but he is not going in as you have heard in the int interview with cbs, that it is no goal and they know that vladimir putin is briefed for the meeting and he has been brief and conscientious to keep up with what the administration is doing and even if donald trump has not been taking the briefings so they are afraid that he is a former intelligence operative and he is going to manipulate donald trump. >> they are meeting one-on-one with interpreters, but no one else in the room, and no ...
