Cuts on our state governments, the most Vulnerable People in our society. And Health Care Providers such as our rural hospitals and nursing home. Will you support this bill, senator . Right now i am undecided. There are things in this bill which adversely affect my state that are peculiar to my state. If those can be addressed, i will. If they cant be addressed, i wont. Right now, im undecided. All right, with zero democrats supporting the legislation, republicans can only afford to lose two votes. That means republicans have a whole lot of work to do if they want the bill passed this week. And some are questioning the vote timing. I would like to delay the thing, there is no way we should be voting on this next week, no way. Are you going to work to stop it . Are you going to work to stop the vote next week . I have a hard time believing wisconsin constituents or even myself will have enough time to properly evaluate this for me to vote for motion to proceed. Ive been encouraging lead
Very positive things happening for russia, for the United States. And for everybody concerned. And its an honor to be with you. Thank you. Thank you. For days the headlines were all about the fact that the meeting was going to happen. Now that its over the headlines are all about the conflicting accounts of what was said in the meeting. Rex tillerson, the only u. S. Cabinet official in the meeting said that President Trump pushed putin on russias election hacks. While Sergei Lavrov putins frnlts told reporters a different story. The president opened the meeting with president putin by raising concerns of the American People regarding russian interference in the 2016 election. They had a very row bus and lengthy exchange on the subject. The president pressed president putin on more than one occasion regarding russian involvement. President putin denied such involvement. As i think he has in the past. I think what the two president s i think rightly focused on is how do we move forward .
Thank you so much. Thank you. How will the president now be received by his federal leaders and the crowds in germany . After deep disagreements over climate change, trade, and russia. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. President trump on the world stage in europe, starting his second foreign trip, earlier today in poland with the right wing government bussed in crowds to ensure a rousing welcome, now comes the hard part, the meeting with Angela Merkel, his toughest and most powerful critic. After agreements, before arriving in germany, the president held his first News Conference on the world stage and made his first comments about north koreas launch this week of a long range missile. The president and i call in all nations to confront this global threat and publicly demonstrate to north korea that there are consequences for their very, very bad behavior. It is a shame that theyre behaving this way, but they are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner and somethi
The Republican Health care plan. I think were probably in that position where well let obamacare fail, were not going to own it, im not going to own it. The republicans are not going to own it. And good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in colorado for the aspen security Conference Starting today. Even as National Security experts are raising red flags about a previously undisclosed one on one meeting between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, with mr. Trump relying only on putins translator. That meeting took place just hours after the president s widely covered sitdown, the formal meeting which itself raised questions because of the way the president dealt with the russian hacking controversy. And it also is coming as putin is pressing for the lifting of u. S. Sanctions against russia and the return of two diplomatic compounds that u. S. Intelligence says were used for spying. Kristen welker joins me now and will be with us throughout the hour as senators are boarding buses to head
Investigation has now come within one man of the president. He is arguably the closest man to the president. White house Senior Adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner spent more than two hours with the Senate Intelligence committee and then he made a Public Statement saying he never colluded with russia. It comes as trump pours the pressure on his own attorney general, Jeff Sessions, who recused himself from the Justice Departments russia investigation months ago. A decision the president has not been able to get past. He wrote about sessions on twitter this morning, referring to his own attorney general, mind you, as our beleaguered attorney general. And tonight the Washington Post has a new report headline, trump leaves sessions twisting in the wind while berating him publicly. It reads in part, sessions was once considered one of the trumps closest advisers and enjoyed access few others had. Now he is left to endure regular public criticism by his boss. And it adds that some in the whit
