service and fbi have come up empty, failing to find fingerprints, video or dna to link any individual to that small bag of cocaine found in a west wing lobby. another massive hack from china on u.s. organizations, reaching as far as the in box of the secretary of commerce, even as secretary of state blinken today was trying to warm up relations with a top chinese official in indonesia. i will get reaction this hour from senate intelligence committee chairman mark warner. good day, everyone. i m andrea mitchell back from the nato summit in lithuania. president biden continuing his foreign trip in finland today, nato s newest member. was pressed whether the allies could trust the u.s. to remain in nato despite opposition by trump republicans to remain in the alliance. president biden also was trying to patch over differences the u.s. has with allies, including great britain, our closest ally, over not giving ukraine a clearer time line of when it could join nato once the wa
president zelensky is accused nature of weakness and uncertainty over the reluctance of some members to set a timetable for ukraine to join the military alliance. nato leaders meeting in lithuania have agreed they can try but only when certain conditions are met. nato secretary general the sun has said the alliance has never sent a stronger political and practical message about partnership but made clear they could notjoin while it was still at war with russia. our europe editor katya adler sent this report from the summit in vilnius. disappointed, volodymyr zelensky put on a brave face today for supporters in the lithuanian capital. translation: i came here today believing in partners, in a nato that does not waste time. ukraine will make nato stronger. nato will make ukraine safer. a very different tone from his tweet earlier in the day, when he blasted the military alliance as absurd and weak for not agreeing a timetable for kyiv to join the club. as confirmed by nato s
there should be no doubt. our support for ukraine will not waiver. nato will not be divided and we will not tire. that was a big moment. look, we are moving into election season. the biggest pulpit is the bully pulpit regardless of who enters this race and the president has it and he used it in that moment. on the world stage on a very big week. good morning. we are so glad you are here. 8:00 a.m. don and i are in new york. kaitlin is live in poland. hey, kaitlin. yeah, here in poland the final kay of president biden s momentous trip. this hour he is set to meet with world leaders from nato s eastern flank. allies who fear that they could be putin s next target potentially. there is a lot going on. plus, more than 65 million americans on alert. a powerful coast-to-coast winter storm unleashing blizzards, ice and heavy snow. we will have the latest forecast. plus this for you. you think this transforms coffee? very few people outside of starbucks have tasted it.
top of the hour this wednesday. i m jim sciutto. i m kristen fisher. next hour, president biden heading home after this critical trip to europe including a historic visit to ukraine. this morning the president held a roundtable with the nato secretary-general and leaders of those nato countries that are closest to russia s borders and the u.s. and its allies really facing this daunting challenge now of how to keep the momentum on ukraine side one year after russia s invasion. today as we approach the one-year anniversary of russia s further invasion, it s even more important that we continue to stand together, and i think this is proof of this, how strongly we feel. well, on the other side, russian president vladimir putin met this morning with a top chinese diplomat. putin says moscow and beijing are, quote, reaching new milestones as we learn now that a meeting may be in the works between putin and chinese president xi jinping with u.s. officials warning that chin
