We will have the results at 11 00 p. M. Eastern. News overseas, a russian warplane armed to the teeth came way too close for comfort to an american reconnaissance plane over the baltic sea yesterday. Its the latest escalation in the skies over and near syria. Jennifer griffin is monitoring the situation from the pentagon. Good evening. Russian fighter jet armed with air to air missiles flew within 5 feet of a u. S. Spy plane in the baltic sea monday. The russian fighter jets wings were dirty, meaning it was armed with missiles under its wings. Pentagon spokesman geoff davis said the russian pilot had poor control and was coming in at a high rate of speed. This happened one day after a u. S. Navy f18 super hornet shot down a syrian jet near the isa stronghold of raqqa which led to the russians issuing a warning to u. S. Warplanes flying west of the Euphrates River in syria. During our recent nato military exercise in the baltics, russian warplanes bomb these american bombers. Mondays incident in the baltic comes a month after a russian fighter jet caused a u. S. Navy Surveillance Aircraft over the black sea. In february, russian jets buzzed a u. S. Navy guided missile destroyer in the black sea while the u. S. Army was unloading dozens of tanks and 500 american soldiers arrived in romania. The same destroyer later fired tomahawk cruise missiles into syria. Its a great honor to be with the president of ukraine. White house, President Trump met the president of ukraine and raised eyebrows when he called his country the ukraine, a reference to pre1991 when ukraine was soviet territory. A slip of the tongue thats fraught with meaning, given russians invasion of crimea and eastern ukraine. On capitol hill, john mccain had harsh words for President Trumps pick for deputy secretary of defense. The answers you gave to the questions, whether intentionally or unintentionally or condescending. Defensive weapons for ukraine, something we ought to discuss. Mccain is a staunch defender of ukraine and has been frustrated with the last two administrations for not helping it stand up to russia. He asked the nominee to resubmit his answers. Bret jennifer griffin, thank you. Lets get more on the tensions in the region and the meeting with petro poroshenko. The meeting was great. Its a very special day of the ukraineu. S. Relations. First meeting with the american president and i see a real leader. We enjoy strong message. Our fight for freedom and democracy. We really enjoyed the support of President Trump, and Vice President pence. Bret have you seen a change . We talked a year ago, the position of the u. S. And supporting ukraine . We really have two sides of the conversation. First that would be a great deal of peace. Today, exactly three years. On the 20th of june 2014, there was declared a ceasefire waiting until russia will stop killing my soldiers and civilians. Unfortunately we dont deliver any results but we demonstrate the presence of peace. I am confident that when President Trump, the real leader, the charismatic person, can help me to bring peace to my land the same way like reagan brought victory in the cold war without a single shot. Its a great story of success. We speak about the effective cooperation between ukraine and u. S. And economic sphere. Call from pennsylvania to ukrainian power stations. Many, many others. Bret last year when we talked it was in the middle of the president ial election. I asked you about russia specifically. Take a listen. How many Russian Troops do you think are still in your country . We know for sure that now its above 6,000 regular troops in the occupied territory in the east of my country. More than 50,000 troops in crimea plus 40,000 troops, local militiamen. This is a huge contingent which is more than the army of many european countries. This is very simple situation. Putin is a president of the country who is an aggressor of my country. If you ask me if i trust putin, no, i dont trust him. Bret still dont trust him. We have now after a year a better understanding of the situation. Putin, very important, strong message for us that the biggest tragedy of the 20th century for him was the collapse of the soviet union. He now tried to undertake the enormous efforts, tried to rebuild russian empire or renew the soviet union. We dont give him one tiny single thing. The last two months, we received, the ukrainian nation, 45 Million People received a visafree for european union, and that was the final farewell to the russian empire. And president putin. Bret how many Russian Troops, russian militiamen if you want to call them, are still in your country . Do you know . Exactly be because we have an exchange with Intelligence Data with nato, u. S. , european partner spread we have more than 3,000 regular Russian Troops on my territory plus the russian operated proxies. Altogether more than 40,000. We have more tanks, more forces and artillery in the occupied territory. Bret has there been direct fire incidents . Definitely. Two days ago we captured two Russian Military people with russian passports. We are confident russia should withdraw their troops from our territory. Withdraw artillery, tanks, and everything. Without that, sanctions should continue. This is the method we hear today from the president from comeau Vice President pence. You heard that . Full of meditations full implementation. It bret when see the coverage into investigations between collusion between the russia and Trump Campaign and investigations into obstruction of justice, how do you look at it . Whats your perception . Doesnt look like a person who has any special relation indefinitely. I hate the idea to influence on any bret i understand. My personal perception this is a great leader with great charisma, great political will and he is a strong friend of ukraine who helped me to bring peace in my country. This is extremely important, and we have a very effective negotiation for defensive weapons. We dont need to attack anybody but we want to have an effective mechanism to defend by drones, everything, defend our territory from the russian offensive and present to the world objective information. Who is killian perko killing ukrainian civilians, soldiers, and who is responsible. Bret whats the most important challenge . I want to say two things. I want to bring peace to my land in the occupied ukraine and i want to make a reform, strong reform. If you allow me, ukraine is born right now. My team, i would be proud if we can have a unique opportunity to be the founder of the new state, ukraine. Bret we appreciate your time. When we combat, republican senators feeling the heat as they approach summer without them without a Health Care Bill. Pain is sometimes in my hands, be a distraction. Right before a performance especially. Only aleve has the strength to stop minor arthritis pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. This is my pain. But i am stronger. Aleve. All day strong. The future isnt silver suits anits right now. S, think about it. We can push buttons and make cars appear out of thin air. Find love anywhere. Hes cute. And buy things from, well, everywhere. How . Because our phones have evolved. So isnt it time our networks did too . Introducing americas largest, most reliable 4g lte combined with the most wifi hotspots. Its a new kind of network. Xfinity mobile. Bret an american fighter jet shot down an armed iranian drone today as an advance on Coalition Forces in southern syria. The second time in less than a month the u. S. Has shot down in iranian drone. Comes one day after american warplane destroyed a syrian fighter jet that had dropped bombs on u. S. Backed Syrian Opposition forces.

Flew to cosupersonic bombers over the Korean Peninsula today initial force following the passing of otto warmbier. House Intelligence Ranking member adam schiff renewing his call for a ban on tourist travel to the communist country. John mccain said americans should have to sign a waiver absolving the u. S. Government of blame if they want to go there, calling them stupid. James rosen is at the state department. Good evening. It was during this afternoons state Department Press briefing that President Trump tweeted out what could prove to be a major shift in the u. S. Approach to the entire complex of problems presented by north korea. While i greatly appreciate the efforts of president xi and china to help with north korea, it has not worked out. At least i know china tried the tweet comes following the death yesterday of otto warmbier, the 22yearold ohio native held hostage by the regime in pyongyang for 17 months. Returned to u. S. Soil last week in a comatose state. Let us state the facts plainly, said senator john mccain. Otto warmbier, an american citizen, was murdered by the kim jongun regime. In the final year of his life, mccain added, he lived a nightmare in which the north Korean People have been trapped for 70 years. Forced labor, cruelty, torture, murder. Does this administration agreed . I am not going to comment on what senator mccain said. Im not familiar with what he said im not going to characterize it. We cant comment on the circumstances of his death but we remain in the secretary remains committed to hold north korea accountable. White house said President Trump was deeply troubled by warmbiers death and that it was less likely that he would meet directly with kim jongun. In remarks with his ukrainian counterpart, the president called what happened to warmbier a total disgrace. He shouldve been been brought home that same day period the result would have been a lot different. What happened to otto is a disgrace. I spoke with his family. His family is incredible, what theyve gone through. Three other americans remain captive in north korea and several americans are being held in detention in iran. Bret james rosen, thank you. U. S.
