abrams. president biden meets with international leaders at a time of worldwide uncertainty and fear, what can they realistically accomplish? secretary of state antony blinken joins me exclusively to discuss in a moment. plus, keep calm, carry on. boris johnson with his job. i want to say this to the people of the united states. as the world s economy slows and russia s war rages, what s next for a key ally? british prime minister boris johnson joins me in a u.s. exclusive ahead. hello, i m jake tapper live in krun, germany, at the site of the g7 global summit. president biden is on the world stage meeting with fellow leaders of western democracies, in addition to the u.s. and germany. the other five in the g7 or group of seven are italy, france, japan, and the united kingdom, whose prime minister we just interviewed. they re here to try to figure out how to stave off a global recession and ensure stability at a time of autocratic muscle flexing, especially russia s
state antony blinken as well as british prime minister boris johnson who just survived a no-confidence vote back at home and trying to ensure that no one in the g7 goes wobbly on ukraine. but let s begin with chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins, entirely new challenges than when they met last year. yeah, jake, it s a completely different set of subjects they re facing and obviously you just heard the president speak about china. that s something something that the white house wants to make sure is known on the agenda while the leaders are meeting here in germany but also the table for the summit is being set by russia s invasion of ukraine and the ensuing war and how these g7 nations are responding to it. in part, you saw that announcement from the united states and other g7 leaders saying that they are going to be banning russian imports of russian gold. that s a pretty big deal, especially when it comes to the united kingdom, jake, which takes in billions of d
regulations. we ve taken back control of our borders. we re no longer spending loads of money on projects we couldn t control, and it was a good decision. yeah. i ll give you one other example, back to ukraine for a second. i don t think that the uk within the european union, and within the kind of matrix of the common foreign policy and security policy that we then had, i don t think that we would have been able in front as the first europe an country to arm the ukrainians to give them the wherewithal to protect themselves. and i think that speaks to a country that is thinking about things differently, that is thinking about the world with a more global perspective, and is ambitious. that doesn t mean they re less european. we re still european but i think we have a more global approach. so, we re here at the g7, a
and we ve got look, what we ve been able let me give you an example. thanks to the position that we took, we had an independent medical agency that was able to make sure that the first covid vaccine in first approved vaccine in anybody s arm was in the uk. that was because we were outside something called the european medicine agency. you couldn t have done it otherwise? correctamundo, yes. correctamundo? yes you re quoting fonz? correct. we ve been able to do free trade deals around the world. we re able to change some of our regulations. we ve taken back control of our borders. we re no longer spending loads of money on projects we couldn t control, and it was a good decision. yeah.
