to the gentleman next and then we go to the center. reporter: cbs news. senator mcconnell, you are calling on president biden to declare russia a state sponsor of terror. can you explain why? and, mr. president, do you also agree that russia should be declared a state sponsor of terror and why? well, first, the president has within his authority to designate russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. anyone who has been able to observe the events of the last couple of months would have to conclude the russians certainly deserve to be included on that list. like i said, how we deal with russia, what we say about russia, that is what we discuss with our eu partners. eu has been very active and i m sure that the discussion will continue, and also activities.
