Reassure, reaffirm ties and we are live overseas. But as the president tries to build bridges there, his agenda here at home is running into roadblocks. Senators are rallying to drum up respect after an unprecedented effort to restrict voting. It s a push that looks like it is going nowhere right now. A push on infrastructure is seeming stalled after a break down. A new offer is on the table, will it be enough to move the needle. Along with our nbc news team.

Heavypeace. Take us through what we heard from the president this morning and the meeting with g7 allies and that important meeting in geneva. There are a lot of things he wants to change, trying to counter the pressure from china and russia globally. The president said to tackle any of those they believe they have to get a united front from america s oldest allies. That s why we are seeing the president go in and start off this trip with a meeting with uk prime minister and the g7 summit to repair alliances battered by trump s nationalistic america first attitude. It is no mistake that the administration has scheduled all of these meetings with the allies for almost a week before going into this meeting you mentioned with russian president vladimir putin. They hope to go in with a show of strength, with the wind at their back as one senior administration official put it, to show there is a united front. They are not anticipating any big deliver bls out of this meeting. They are lookin
Of his domestic legislative agenda in tatters, that massive infrastructure package. The white house pulled the plug on talks with gop senator shelley moore capito, citing a lack of tangible progress. She is accused by the president now of moving the goalposts. I think in the end we never got to the scope of what infrastructure is. The president still had in his plan extraneous items that we felt were not exactly physical infrastructure. They kept moving the goalposts on us. So this group pushing for an across the aisle solution. Still, it s far from a done deal. The democrats will need to get joe manchin on board, and if the president can t move one republican, how will it be to move a group of senators? we start the hour with nbc news white house report shannon pettypiece and punchbowl news founder jake sherman. A big hello to the two of you. Shannon, the president is heading over seas just as the white house is deciding to go another route to reach an infrastructure deal. Is the whit
Remember, these prosecutors not only have a trove of tax documents and other records. They ve also extensively interviewed trump s former personal attorney michael cohen over the past two years, as jim said, since he flipped. Remember, cohen turned on trump after pleading guilty to making hush money payments on the former president s behalf and lying under oath. It comes as no surprise that former president trump blasted the investigation as a witch hunt. So how significant is this? where does it go from here? let s begin with our senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. Good morning. Tell us what exactly convening this grand jury. It s going to last a long time. What does this mean? maybe even longer than six months. There are ways to actually extend it. This is not good news for the former president that after two years, this investigation is entering this advanced stage, but it does not mean that he or anyone else will definitely be charged. At the heart of this case are quest
Benjamin netanyahu gearing up to fight for his political survival, calling on the parliament to vote down a new coalition government that would replace him. We want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. I m wolf blitzer and you re in the situation room. President biden and senate republicans are moving closer and closer to a deal on the price tag for his infrastructure plan, but tonight they are still billions of dollars apart even after the president cut his request, his initial request in half. Our chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is working the story for us. The president conceding in order to save his infrastructure bill, is this his final offer? reporter: it certainly is far from his initial offer, wolf.
