italy. and we'll recap an eventful day on capitol hill where senate republicans blocked a democratic led bill to protect fertility treatments for women. and the former president was also on the hill for the first time since his supporters attacked the capitol. we'll go through trump's meetings with top republicans in both chambers. good morning and welcome to "way too early" on this friday, june 14th, flag day. i'm jonathan lemire, thanks for being with us. and we'll begin this morning in italy where the second day of the g7 summit is under way, and in just moments president biden will hold a joint appearance with italy's prime minister, leaving president biden and the other g7 leaders will meet with pope francis. following that gathering the president will depart italy and head to california where he has a couple of major fund raisers. during yesterday's events the president and his ukrainian counterpart, volodymyr zelenskyy, signed a ten-year bilateral security agreement. the biden administration official tells nbc news that the united states is prepared to commit the entire amount if necessary but does expect other nations to step forward as well. the loan will be secured by the revenue generated from approximately $300 billion in frozen russian assets. following the signing ceremony with zelenskyy, president biden reaffirmed the west's continued support for ukraine. >> 2 1/2 years ago putin unleashed a brutal war on ukraine, and it's been a horrifying ordeal for the aukrainian people so brain brave and incredible and also been a test for the world. would we stand with ukraine, stand for sovereigty, freedom, and against tyranny? the united states, the g7 and countries around the world have consistently answered the question by saying, yes, we will. we will say it again, yes again and again and again, we're going to stand with ukraine. we've taken three major steps at the g7 that collectively show putin we cannot -- he cannot wait us out, he cannot divide us, and we'll be with ukraine until they prevail in this war. first, there's a bilateral security agreement just signed. second, historical agreement to provide $50 billion in russian sovereign assets to ukraine, and third an agreement to ensure our sanctions and efforts to disrupt third countries supplying russia's war efforts. >> when it comes to the middle east it appears the biden administration does not expect to see a cease-fire deal anytime soon. white house national security advisor jake sullivan says while mediators are working to bridge the gaps between israel and hamas, there's no clear timetable for reaching an agreement. earlier this week hamas submitted amendments to the latest proposal, but the white house says the some of those proposed changes are unworkable. president biden expressed concerns a deal won't be done soon while he was speaking to reporters at the g7 summit yesterday. later in the day he criticized hamas for lack of progress. >> president biden, did you all have a chance to discuss a possible cease-fire? >> yes. >> are you confident it's going to be done soon, sir? >> no. i'm not -- i haven't lost hope. the bottom line is we've made an agreement -- i've laid out an approach that has been endorsed by the u.n. security council, the g7, by the israelis, and the biggest hang-up so far is hamas refusing to sign on even though they have something similar. whether or not it comes to fruition remains to be seen. we're going to continue to push. >> joining us now live from the g7 in bari, italy is white house reporter from bloomberg news with a stunning backdrop. good to see you this morning. you were one of the two reporters called on by president biden in his news conference with the ukrainian president yesterday. let's start there. what are american officials and the president himself saying about the deal they struck with ukraine? do they feel like it can trump-proof the outcome were president biden to lose this november? >> i think they're incited about it, and these are pretty big take-aways. it's both the deal and the broader deal of the g7 of those fixed assets to try to capture some sort of upfront cash from what will be a trickle of proceeds from the frozen russian funds that are mostly in europe. so these are big things that they want to tout. to the extent they trump-proof it nothing is entirely off-limits if president trump wins the election and comes back in next year, john. but i think broadly this is just on top of the supplemental a big surge of support from the g7 broadly and the u.s. specifically for ukraine. and you heard president zelenskyy thank the leaders, thank american leaders for the support and say that, you know, it'll go a long way in helping them in their fight against russia. of course, the big questions there are how long that support will last. we asked president zelenskyy on that. he said it's how long the unity will last. you can read about that and in the meantime how quickly that billion dollars will flow, and we're still sorting out some of the details including how much the americans will contribute. it looks like the canadians, japanese, and british have more or less settled on their numbers. the eu is still up in there air, and what all those contribute, john, the americans are basically going to top it up to 50. we're waiting to see a final number on that. it does look on a small note they can do it through existing authorities. >> you just mentioned it there's concerns about how long this unity will last. a number of the leaders there gathered for the g7 saw their political parties be dealt pretty humbling setbacks in recent weeks especially this past week the exception being the host, the italian prime minister, and of course president biden is in a tight race this november. just give us a sense of the anxiety there about where this gathering, this g7 goes from here, and frankly the unruly world that they face. >> yeah, we asked u.s. officials about that yesterday and said, hey, are they trying to essentially get whatever they can done now because the next year is just so uncertain. u.k. headed for an election here in just a few weeks, an american election later this year. of course, the french snap parliamentary election, the ukrainians have an election the next year, year and a half or so. a lot of things are up in the air right now, so i think the broader theme is what can they do? in one case the g7 it's kind of the only game in town left. the other blocs of the g20 almost ground to a halt where it's very difficult to get something if anything done. so the g7 still seems to agree on a lot of things. on the flip side they've lost a bit of clout relative to the rest of the world. and in particular russia and china. and much of this meeting is also focused on china. i think that's flown a little bit under the radar. the u.s. sanctions announced this week are trying to stop chinese essentially trans shipment of computer things and so biden is clamping down on russia, he's clamping down also on china and trying to sort of, you know, insulate all that. it's not all agreement here, john. they always haggle over things, the communique, these summits are carried on the stick reporters are chasing. in particular there's a lot of discussion how to access abortion and reproductive rights, in this communique the u.s. pushing for reproductive rights and looks like they've succeeded in getting that in the final draft bloomberg obtained where the italian prime minister we understand had been pushing against mentioning that in there. she comes from a more conservative wing of italian politics. so they don't agree on everything, but broad consensus in particular on that question of ukraine. >> live for us at the g7 in italy one of our favorites, josh wingrove. thank you and travel safe. meanwhile, back here at home donald trump was on capitol hill yesterday for the first time since the january 6 insurrection. the gop nominee briefly addressed the press after gathering with house senate republicans in two separate meetings touting his great relationships with everyone present. in the meeting with senators specifically trump appeared to avoid confrontations with those in the room who'd been critical of him in the past including the two republicans who attended who had voted to convict him for inciting an insurrection. that would be senators bill cassidy and mitt romney. those two senators -- i'm sorry, senators present said trump did not mention january 6th. >> this is an outstanding group of people. i'm with them 1,000%. they're with me 1,000%. we agree just about on anything, and if there isn't, we work it out. >> the meeting with republican senators also mark the first time trump and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell have come face-to-face since 2020. afterward mcconnell told reporters the meeting was, quote, good. >> we had a meeting. >> did he say anything about you? >> no. >> did you talk to him directly? >> yeah. he took questions from the audience. and it was an entirely positive session. >> additionally two sources tell nbc news trump employed close ally marjorie taylor greene to start to get along with house speaker mike johnson who she recently attempted to oust from power. meanwhile, trump is now trying to cleanup an attack he made yesterday while in d.c., this attack on the city hosting next month's republican national convention. in his meeting with house republicans trump called milwaukee, quote, a horrible city. the comment was first reported by punch bowl news' jake sherman and then later confirmed by an nbc news source who was inside the room. in addition to being the assignment of the rnc, milwaukee is also the largest city in the key battleground state of wisconsin. afterwards, trump insisted to fox news that he was only referring to crime in milwaukee and the way the city runs its elections. other republicans defended him as well. despite that, the biden campaign pounced on the comments posting a photo on social media of president biden hosting the milwaukee bucks basketball team after they won their title back in 2021. they were at the white house. biden's team posted this caption, "i happen to love milwaukee." the campaign also started selling official t-shirts that read, quote, not a horrible city over a map of wisconsin. meanwhile the milwaukee mayor had this to say about trump's attack on his city. >> if donald trump wants to talk about things he thinks are horrible, all of us lived through his presidency, so right back at you, buddy, i'll say that. look, obviously donald trump is wrong about something yet again. i find it kind of perplexing. i find it kind of strange that he would insult the largest city in wisconsin. to insult the state that's hosting your convention i think is kind of -- kind of bizarre, actually. it's kind of unhinged. >> trump is also very critical of the 2016 rnc host city, cleveland. in a strange move to target the biggest city in a battleground state. will he go after philadelphia? next up here the supreme court rejects the latest effort to roll back access to the abortion pill. what that decision could mean in the ongoing fight over reproductive rights. plus, trump also met with business leaders on capitol hill and promised to cut corporate taxes again. those stories and a check on sports and weather when we come right back. check on sports and weather when we come right back [coughing] copd hasn't been pretty. it's tough to breathe and tough to keep wondering if this is as good as it gets. but trelegy has shown me that there's still beauty and breath to be had. because with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy keeps my airways open and prevents future flare-ups. and with one dose a day, trelegy improves lung function so i can breathe more freely all day and night. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. do not take trelegy more than prescribed. trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. ♪ what a wonderful world ♪ ask your doctor about once-daily trelegy for copd because breathing should be beautiful. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy?
