prosecutorjack smith, suggests that indictment is also ready to go. a little earlier, ron desantis spoke to small group of supporters in new hampshire, where he introduced his economic plan aimed at blue collared workers. in it, he railed against china promising to revoke it s favoured trading status, ban imports made from stolen us intellectual property, and ban companies from sharing critical technology with china. take a listen. its . its. its. they said if you gritted china, they its. they said if you gritted china, they would its. they said if you gritted china, they would become - its. they said if you gritted i china, they would become more democratic, china, they would become more democratic, the china, they would become more democratic, the cardigans- china, they would become more| democratic, the cardigans forced transfers democratic, the cardigans forced transfers of democratic, the cardigans forced transfers of technology, - democratic, the cardigan
administration went in the direction of nafta, trading status for china, that set us on the path that we have been on. i wonder, first, if you think there is something new here, something different the admin the biden administration is doing. i think it s enormously important. it s a very different paradigm of the ronald reagan paradigm that dominated republican in democratic politics over the last 50 years. that paradigm simply says that instead of assuming that there is a free market, assume that something different is happening. assume that the market itself is a human creation. it s a creation of laws and policies, and let s ask ourselves what kind of market we want. and if we want to market that is going to actually help people, we ll be left behind over the last 50 years, let s change that market. let s actually do something different in terms of designing the market differently. that is what our president,
demoralized. because one of the after-effects of brexit was a new trading status for the north, for northern ireland, that actually involves putting border controls on goods that flow from mainland britain to northern ireland, and to unionists, that almost drove a wedge between the north and the rest of the united kingdom. and so what that has meant in electoral terms is that the democratic unionist party, the flagship party, has been steadily losing support to the main irish nationalist party, sinn fein, these are the first elections that truly reflect the effect of this trend, and it was devastating for the d.u.p., they lost about 6% of the vote and since they were very close with sinn fein in the last election, it was enough to put them over the top. sinn fein is now the largest party in northern ireland, and as you say, that gives us the
action one way or another irrespective of what they do, but everything we ve done, the approach starts with coordinating allies and partners. all right. another way of ratcheting things up on the russians is zelenskyy suggested terminating russia s status. preferential trading status, most favored nation status. is that something we re considering? look, chuck, let me say this. there are a series of things that are out there that we re looking at to continue to ratchet up the pressure on vladimir putin for the purposes of getting him to end this aggression against ukraine, to stop this war, to stop the killing, to stop the suffering. and there are, as i said, extraordinary measures that we ve already taken. we said many months ago, when all of this started, and we warned that putin was threatening this aggression. we said if he pursued it, there would be massive consequences for russia, and we ve delivered on that promise. you see it again in everything that s happening to the russ
large-scale sanctions if china were to help russia with aids sanctions, and the key thing there is large scale. that s a qualifier. to understand exactly how far this diplomatic relationship will go. china and russia have had a history of closer cooperation since becoming under increasing scrutiny over issues like human rights. but on the other side of the last five, six years they ve been getting closer and closer. china is russia s largest trading partner. and now obviously the west is trying to push russia to its favored trading status to get tighter. they are very much cornering china. they have to walk a very fine line here. both sides. nina dos santos, thank you very much. plenty of help is on its way to ukraine, u.s. help. they are moving quickly to send more military equipment to defend against the widening russian offensive. oren liebermann reports there is speed, they might target those armed shipments.
