He said america has turned a page. Were committed to leading this change. The United States is back. It is fantastic. Hes a breathe of fresh air. And new hope for a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. But some democrats say biden should go it alone. It is time to move forward. Republicans have held us up long enough. Inside politics, the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. Welcome to Inside Politics sunday, im abby phillip. The days of Donald TrumpsAmerica FirstForeign Policy are over. That is the message President Joe Biden want the world to hear as he travels on his first foreign trip as president. Hes announcing that the u. S. Will buy and donate 500 million doses of Pfizers Covid vaccine. America will be the arsenal of vaccines in our fight against global covid19. Just as america was the Arsenal Of Democracy during world war ii. Our Vaccine Donations dont include pressure for favors or potential concessions. Were doing this to save lives, to end this pandemic. That is it. Period. After four years of trump triggered drama at every International Summit you could also hear the audible sigh of relief from bidens fellow World Leaders. There is so much they want to do together with us. It is fantastic. It is a breath of fresh air. He tands to the commitment of multilateralism which we were missing in last years. I think the president is very willing to cooperate. And well hear from President Biden in about an hour, as the g7 summit concludes this morning. Joining me now, olivier knox, and Vivian Salama and john harwood and laura baron lopez. And kids love to see it. And they are very happy to see biden across the pond. John, this message of america is back, how is it resonating overseas . Very well. And it is one of the realities of the situation is that joe biden went to this overseas trip with a huge asset and that is that donald trump is an easy act to follow. He acted foolishly on The World Stage and openly aligned himself with american adversaries, with russia. He went out of his way to poke fingers in the eye of other g7 leaders. And so it is natural that they welcome a u. S. President who wants to work with them and solve common problems, climate for example, the coronavirus pandemic, economic recovery, that doesnt mean there arent differences because multilateralism is difficult, so they had disagreement on confronting china. Joe biden has this theme of democracy standing up and showing they could work in competition with autocracies. But that is that common effort is something that other World Leaders welcome and joe biden just like the first president that i covered george h. W. Bush, is somebody very comfortable on The World Stage, knows a lot of the leaders. He was back in his element. And speaking of comfort, physically it was a very different scene overseas. A lot of touching and back patting and not so much finger pointing in previous summits with the previous president. There is a Body Language that reflects a shift in Public Opinion in what weve seen according to this recent pugh poll that in europe and in canada and in germany and among the g7 countries, you have the general population going from 30 point swings in their favorable view of the United States, their favorable view of the ability of an american president to operate. This is a lot of good will, olivier, do you think it will have actual dividends for the United States. That is a good question. And if you dig further into the pew poll, you find a small minority of respondents say that the United States is a very reliable ally. We cant paper over the unhes still in europe. Theyre watching our politics, they saw january 6 and they know that donald trump doesnt accept the results of the election and they know there are senators willing to take up the trump mantle. They know the big lesson of the trump era, they saw from h. W. To w. And to obama and nothing like the last four years and they reasonably think this could happen again. And there is some anxiety about the potential of this not being durable. Vivian, just a couple of years ago, both Angela Merkel, the chancellor of germany and frances president had some really tough words for europe about what the future of the u. S. European relationship ought to be. They were saying that the era in which we could rely on the United States is over to some except. That is merkel in 2017 and macron said europe could no longer rely on the United States for its security. So do you get the sense that has shifted or is it just on hold for now . Well they are certainly breathing a sigh of relief as you said but also a lot of questions about what our future politics holds in the United States. Does donald trump come back to become president or is the Republican Party shifting in his favor and that is the more favorable view of everyone goes it alone. And the europeans, while they are certainly embracing biden who has arrived and working together and theyre apprehensive of what theyve seen in america in the last couple of months and years. So want to also address their own issues. Keep in mind they also have their constituents to answer to, Angela Merkel who is on the her way out but frances macron has economic interests in working with china as the same time the Biden Administration talks about cracking down on china. So they have their own domestic issues so it leaves us wondering where were going to be in the next couple of years when biden is back and saying lets Work Together and theyre like, well, lets see about that. Yeah, i mean, the china [ technical difficulties ] and the question is how tough will be they on china. You have several European Countries that are okay with becoming more financially entangled with china and biden saying this is a question of democracy versus autocracy. How is that going to play out. The big question is how far do they go in confronting china in that statement . Do they confront them on the the forced labor of the uyghur in shin jang and say they want to move towards that different investments, what the administration is calling high quality Infrastructure Investments and having a higher standard on labor and on Climate Standards and providing those to lower and middle Income Countries as opposed to going the route of china with their Roads Loan Program which a lot of countries are turning to. And so that is what the administration thats been focused on a big piece of his domestic agenda. Biden is overall arguing that his agenda, if it doesnt pass and if what hes trying to push at g7 doesnt happen that the u. S. Will not be as competitive against china and that china will continue to grow and emergence and outcompete the country and that is one of his central pillars of his agenda. There has been, between the vaccine announcement, john, and also this announcement about a sort of Global Infrastructure investment that is designed, really to be a counter to china, those two things are great. Nice on The World Stage, were giving them away no strings attached. But do you get the sense this is really what it will take to put china in a box, if that is what the Biden Administration wants to do. It is part of what it takes. We all know money talks. And through this belt and Road Initiative china has been laying money down to underdeveloped countries to try to use Dollar Diplomacy, get them on their side. The United States can compete in other democracies and others have tried to compete on the basis of values but Dollar Diplomacy is relevant for democracies as well. Weve seen that back to john f. Kend kennedy, the peace corp and so there are ways in which the United States and other democracies after periods of which they turned inward and people have said donald trump champion and America First and everybody else is taking advantage of us and so he was trying to grab what he could for the United States. But if you take a larger view of what the United States obligations and challenges are on The World Stage you realize youve got to lay down some money and assistance yourself and that is what biden is doing. And there is more to come. Not just on the issue of china but also on the issue of russia. Coming up next, bidens Biggest International test is still to come. His meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Wednesdays summit with russian leader Vladimir Putin. Sizing up putin has always been an important test for the u. S. Commanderinchief. I looked the man in the eye, i was able to get a sense of his soul. A man deeply committed to his country. What is true is that the russians intended to meddle and they meddled. Vladimir putin is not on our team. I like putin, he likes me. We get along. Wont you say it is smart to get along. Smart. On this trip bidens relationship with russia is very different from former president Donald Trumps. Well ive been clear, the United States will respond in a robust and meaningful way on the russian government engaged in harmful activities. The spector of the former president is hanging over this meeting of course. With putin. And vivian, how do you think that will play out since it seems like putin is already setting this up as a biden versus trump kind of situation. Actually take a listen to what he told nbc just this past week. I believe that former u. S. President mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual. Hes a colorful individual. You may like him or not. President biden is a career man. He spent his entire adulthood in politics. There will not be any Impulse Movements on behalf of the sitting u. S. President. Lack of Impulse Movements is what the white house is hoping for. And while President Biden is definitely a different personality, he has a history of gaffes and theyre hoping to avoid that because putin is someone who is very unpredictable and could throw things out of left field. And what President Putin is saying is reality, that he sees a different adversary and a lot of it also shtick, when he said trump is someone that worked with me even though his administration didnt crack down on russia quite a bit in the last couple of years. President trumps messaging was very different. But that is not actually in reality what the relationship was like and he said that the relationship was in a bad place. So were going to go and see that if President Biden is able to get some deliverables out of this meeting, a tough adversary and putin tends to throw things out of left field during the meeting. The famous story of how he tries to catch his adversaries off guard. In 2007 when he met with Angela Merkel, he locked up with a big labrador and she is terrified of dogs and it sat there staring at her the entire time. So things like that. Hes a professional troller. Hes a professional troller. So that is one of the reasons why the white house is already signaling according to our reporting at cnn that theyre unlikely to have one of those Joints Press Conferences at the end. Theyre not trying to give him an opportunity to do that kind of thing. So who gets most out of this meeting in general, olivier . Well i think we should let the meeting happen. Which at the conclusion i think the way both the kremlin and the white house have been building this up is interesting. Both sides raising the stakes again for a that we dont expect a lot of breakthroughs. But you quoted bidens comments, of course in a run up to this, agreed that put Inwas A Killer and said putin doesnt have a soul so we know where joe biden is coming at this but this is a moment for joe biden to do a better job ill say than what barack obama did in 2016. This is sort of the cut it out meeting. In 2016 they say i know youre interest fearing in our elections and cut it out. This time it is solar winds attack and ransomware and cyber offenses. And not just the cyber offenses, the long list of provocative actions from moscow. It is extraordinary. Election interference and sending troops to the u. K. Border, the Jilling Of Navalny and that happened this past week and russia is preparing to supply iran from advanced satellite systems. There is a lot that putin has been able to do in just about four years. Could the jeanne be put back in the bottle . We dont know what a different tone with biden is going to have. It is not about breakthroughs. This is about a transition from an american president who was openly sympathetic to Vladimir Putin. Lets remember Vladimir Putin helped donald trump get elected and for a reason. Donald trump then became president , covered for putin when he was challenged, isnt putin a killer
