Between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. The white house confirms that the two leaders met for a second time during the g20 summit. And an officer says north koreas latest Missile Launch shows the regime has the ability to reach the u. S. , but lacks accuracy. Good morning, everyone. Its wednesday july 19th, im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside louis burgdorf. Well this morning the republicanled effort to overhaul obamacare seems on the verge of collapse. Mitch mcconnells late itch pitch to repeal the Health Care Bill without replacement is already being met with resistance. Senators Susan Collins and mccafferty also have come out against that. And rob portman from ohio also saying in part, i dont think its appropriate just to repeal. Weve also got to put a replacement in place. Despite those concerns, mcconnell said the party will move forward with the plan. At the request of the president and Vice President , after consulting with our members, well have the vote on the motion to proceed to the Obamacare Repeal bill early next week. Recent polling shows the various plans put out by house and Senate Republicans have been widely unpopular. In fact, a Monmouth UniversityNational Poll shows only 27 approved now dead senate Health Care Bill that was introduced last week. In an nbc news wall street journal poll, only 12 of voters support the gop Health Care Bill. In fact, heres senator Lindsey Graham on his efforts to revamp the health care. Would you like to see more from the president on this . You know, i id like to see a bill that people actually liked. I got to go. The president has invited all republican senators to the white house today for lunch to discuss more. Yesterday, he appeared ready to move on after the failure to advance a repeal and replace brand. He tweeted out, as i have always said, let obamacare fail and then come together and do a Great Health Care plan. Stay tuned. And he bemoaned the senate itself, the senate and house needed more victories since dems totally obstruction, no vote. Even parts of full repeal need 60. Eight dems control senate. Crazy. But the current Health Care Bill is being considered under reconsideration and that only requires 51 votes to pass. The president told the press later in the day he was disappointed at losing four republican votes and frustrated with democrats. Im certainly disappointed for seven years ive been hearing repeal and replace from congress. Ive been hearing it loud and strong. And when we finally get a chance to repeal and replace, they dont take advantage of it. I would say im disappointed in what took place. It will go on. And well win were going to win on taxing and infrastructure and other things were doing. We had 52 people. We have no democrat support which is really something that should have been said. We should have had democrats vote. Its a great plan for a lot of people. We had no democrats. 52 people, four nos. Essentially the vote would have been pretty close to the way you luke at it 48 to 4. Thats a pretty impressive vote by any standard. And yet you have a vote of 48 to 4 or Something Like that. And you need more thats pretty tough. So the way i look at it is, in 18, were going to have to get more people elected. We have to go out and get more people elected that are republican. And we have to probably pull in those few people that voted against it. I dont know, theyre going to have to explain to you why they did. And im sure theyll have fine reasons. But we have to get more republicans elected. It would be nice to have democrat support. But really, theyre obstructionists. They have no ideas. They have no thought process. All they want to do is obstruct government and obstruct period. And while the Trump Administration has been in congress for the lack of the health care, Speaker Paul Ryan saying the house has done its part. President trump and i fully support the majority leaders decision and move forward with a bill that just repeals obamacare. And gives Congress Time as the president said to work on a new Health Care Plan that will start with a clean slate. Inaction is not an option. Congress needs to step up. Congress needs to do their job and Congress Needs to do their job now. I think the thing thats dead here is obamacare. I think weve seen that its completely failed. And at this point, Congress Needs to do their job. And they need to do it as quickly as they can. Because every day that they dont, we go farther into collapsing under obamacare. So, i think at this point, inaction is not a workable solution. And so, they need to come to the table and figure out how to reform the system and fix it. Weve done this in the house. Weve passed our simultaneous repeal and replace bill. We think thats the solution. We think thats the best way to go. Were just going to have to bait and figure out how to get the bill passed. Get something passed. Joining us now the white house correspondent, good to have you with us. When president obama was selling his Health Care Plan a couple years ago, he toured the country. There was some concern that we didnt see that from this administration. Did you get the sense at the white house that they left this all out on the floor when 93 were trying to sell this . Or did they kind of leave this over to the senate for the selling . Well, the sense i got at the white house, they gauge it the old college try. You saw Vice President press and Reince Priebus and others go to capitol hill to try to push this to the senate. But, yes, President Trump was mostly on the sideline. That was at the request of the leaders Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and his colleagues wanted room to do this himself. Lets look a little bit ahead to what were expecting today. Obviously, a meeting or lunch that the president is hosting with republican senators. You know, the last time they were back together at the white house. The seating arrangement, Susan Collins, lisa mccaskey sitting next to the president theyre likely to come out and vote no against this idea of getting rid of obamacare without a replacement. It was reportedly back then a tense meeting. Give us a sense what youre expecting to see. You had people like dean haller with ads run against him. What do you expect the temperature in the room to be like today . Well, i think its certainly going to be tense, aimman. There theres a lot of recriminations about whos to blame for this. I think President Trump wants to get some agreement here. The senate pushed back on the vote on the option to give the president a little more time. But look, health care isnt the only thing on the agenda here. These senator its and the white house have to find a path forward on the relevant of their agenda. Tax reform and infrastructure. I imagine those topics will come up this afternoon. And of course, the most important, probably the biggest giveaway is a look at what the seating arrangement looks like. Jordan fabian, thanks for joining us. This morning, were learning of a previously undisclosed oneonone meeting with President Trump and Vladimir Putin earlier this month in hamburg, germany. The white house confirms that trump got up to a place to speak with the leader. One said he spoke to putin an and spoke for about an hour with an interpreter translating for both. Putin and trump had spent over two hours in a bilateral meeting earlier that day. Theres no official readout of the second meeting because no american official other than the president was involved. That was a cause for concern from the intelligence house Ranking Member adam schiff. The president may have betrayed, and i dont mean in terms of the country betrayed his true interests, what his redline might be in getting back russian properties. We have no idea what was discussed. But we do know it was a long meeting. And it was a private meeting where only putin had someone there to confirm what was being discussed. And details emerge after ian bremmer of the group disclosed it earlier this week. Bremer had heard from attendees that found it odd that trump gravitated towards putin at a dinner that included some of americas oldest and staunchest allies. Officials indicate that trump spoke to many during the meeting. And he went over to First Lady Melania Trump where they spoke with the president. The white house claims the two president s had spoken through the kremlins interpreter because the american translator with trump did not speak russian. President trump acted with anger calling the report sick insisting the press knew. And, quote, even a dinner arranged for top20 leaders in germany is made to look sinister. Well have more on this story as ian bremmer joining the table at morni morning joe.

Yesterday during a Senate Armed Services hearing the secondranked military officer said north koreas recent test of an icbm show they clearly have the capability to reach the United States but added this reservation. I, however, am not saying that the test on the fourth of july demonstrates that they have the capacity to strike the United States with any degree of accuracy. Or reasonable confidence of success. What the experts tell me is that north koreans have yet to demonstrate the capacity to do the guidance and control that they would be required. On monday, south koreas proposal the military humanitarian talks with north korea which would be the first since 2015. One day after recertifying that iran was in compliance with the iran nuclear deal, the Trump Administration levied new sanctions against iran. The new sanctions are not related to Irans Nuclear ability but its Ballistic Missile program that undercuts any contributions from the land deal. Joining us live from the bureau. Great to have you with us. The sanctions coming outside of iran on the new sanctions is probably not well . No ayman, it went down like a lead balloon. So much so that it prompted iran to say theyre even pulling out of the nuclear deal altogether. Now, the focus of the sanctions is using the revolutionary and those supporting them. Whether procurement of hardware from anything to drones to faster boats to Ballistic Missiles. As well as they said u. S. And western software programs. In a statement, the Treasury Department said this administration will continue to aggressively target irans maligned activities including their ongoing support of terrorism, ballistic rights and they will also continue to pressure and target. They did, however, stop short of designating the revolutionary guard as a trim organization which would have considerably upped the stakes. A day before the new sanctions were imposed a senior warned if iran poses new sanctions, if the guard were designated as a Terrorism Organization it would pose a massive rink to america and its bases around the region. Last time, the foreign minister ry and irans Foreign Ministers also plain that americas violating the terms of the deal. Theyve called for a meeting in vee yenia between the p5 1 tomorrow. Well see what comes out of that deal. And well wait another 90 days to see if the u. S. Will certify that nuclear compliance. Ali arouzi live in london for us, thank you.
