the pain of the economy right now. we know there s an election coming because we can see that this is not working for us. but if you look at these numbers, really on the polls, there s strong bases on either side but republicans can t really gloat right now because it is it s not as though those voters are definitely going to them. so right now republicans have to get in the game, too. trace: yeah. i mean you re exactly right. but i want to put up some of these numbers just so we can kind of hammer this point home. suffolk usa today university poll support among hispanics, 39% support trump, 34% support biden. you say well it s kind of close, but keep in mind that in 2020, biden beat trump, lanhee, by 33 points. he s down by four. that s a 37-point swing. it s an amazing turnaround and i do think it comes down to again, the economy is a big problem for this president. when you look at inflation. by the way the white house is trying to tell the story inflation s not so bad anymore
i would not rule out such a possibility. if and when russia s use are taken into account as those of unequal partner, and quote. since then, putin s openness to joining nato turned into annoyance with nato and is now just a open hostility towards nato. president biden faces two big tasks at this nato summit, one is trying to get turkey and, to some degree, hungry to stand down after turkey blocked sweden from joining the nato alliance. and number two is smoothly over nato members who are bristling after the pentagon confirmed today that the united states will provide cluster munitions to help ukraine in its fight against vladimir putin s army. bbc news point out that more than 100 countries, including the united kingdom, france, and germany have outlawed the use or stockpiling of these weapons due to their indiscriminate effect on civilian populations, and a quote. it was a lot to get to here, joining me now is william taylor he s a former ambassador to ukraine for the united states.

he s now the vice president at the u.s. institute of peace. bill, thank you for being with us again. let s start with nato, president biden is going to be, here nato is revitalized, nato is the reason this war in large part continues to go on because it is those brave ukrainian fighters. but biden has worked really hard in bringing nato together on this. he is going to land and they re gonna be a whole lot of people who say cluster munitions are really, really bad. and we cannot support the u. s. applying them to ukraine. tell me what happens? so ali, you are right. this will be a challenge, but i am not sure that it does an honorable challenge and what we have seen so far is allies who have been muted, understanding even about the issue and the real issue, ali, as you have just said is that ukrainians need our support in order to continue to push the russians out of the country. they need our support with weapons and in particular ammunition and in particular 155 ammunition, which
