1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: News when you want it With Bloomberg News Now. I'm

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Brian Curtis in Hong Kong. The US is weighing its

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: response to a deadly attack on a US base in Jordan.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: The White House is blaming Iran back militants for the

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: weekend drone strike, a strike that killed three US service

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: members and wounded dozens of others. Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: joined us this morning on Bloomberg Surveillance.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: We will take deliberate, appropriate action. Our focus here is

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: not to broaden a conflict. From the very beginning, we've

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: been very focused on ensuring that the situation in Israel

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: does not broaden into a wider regional conflict. Unfortunately, what

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: you have here are Iranian proxy groups that are exploiting

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: the situation and conducting these types of illegal attacks against

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: forces that are in the region to actually preserve peace

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: and stability.

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder on Bloomberg Surveillance. Iran is denying

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: any involvement in the weekend strike. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: is back at work in person at the Pentagon for

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: the first time in almost a month. He addressed the

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: weekend attack in northeast Jordan during a bilateral meeting with

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg.

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: Let me start with my outrage in sorrow for the

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: death of three brave US troops in Jordan and for

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: the other troops who were wounded. President and I will

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: not tolerate attack on US forces and we will take

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: all necessary actions to defend the US and our troops.

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Austin had been working from home since January fifteenth, after

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: he was released from the hospital at followed complications from

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: prostate cancer surgery. He sparked an uproar for failing to

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: properly disclose his illness for several days. In the meantime,

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Stoltenberg will meet with members of Congress on Tuesday to

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: discuss Ukraine's war against Russia. The doks will include funding

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: issues for Ukraine. Stoltenberg spoke earlier to report in Washington.

34
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: I'm confident to that all Nadallas also the United States

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: will continue to provide support to Ukraine because this is

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 4: in our own security interest to do so. It would

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: be a trangedy for the Ukrainians if President Putin wins,

38
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: but it will also make the world more dangerous than

39
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: all of US more insecured.

40
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Native Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg, while Senate negotiators did more

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: work on a bipartisan border security bill. That's despite Speaker

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Johnson's value that the measure would be dead on arrival

43
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: in his chamber. During a briefing Monday, White House Press

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Secretary Karine Jean Pierre shared details of the proposed legislation.

45
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: This bipartisan agreement would deliver the resources the President asked

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: for in his supplemental, like thirteen hundred new border patrol agents,

47
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 5: three hundred and seventy five new immigration judges, sixteen hundred

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: new asylum officers, one hundred cutting edge inspection machines to

49
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 5: catch fentanol. It would also provide a president with a

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 5: new emergency authority to secure our border when it becomes overwhelmed.

51
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: That was White House Press Secretary Corene Jean Pierre. Over

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: the weekend, President Biden said that he would shut down

53
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the southern border if Congress sends him a bill. Republicans

54
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: say Biden has executive authority to act without Congressional approval.

55
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Elon Musk says the first human patient has received a

56
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: brain implant from his startup Neuralink. Musk said that the

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: patient is recovering well and that the initial results are

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: promising well. The next steps in the liquidation of China Evergrand,

59
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a Chinese developer, are about to unfold. Evergrand is a

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: massive enterprise across hundreds of cities and several businesses. Here's

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Stephen Engel.

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 6: Will that court order be followed in Mainland where there's

63
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 6: a different legal system obviously, which obviously takes direction essentially

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 6: from the Communist Party. So if there's a dispersal of

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: these assets, isn't going to happen in China, right because

66
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 6: essentially there's no precedence for a large company like this,

67
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: with a spaghetti bowl of different assets and liabilities and

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 6: priorities and international bondholders and different kinds of creditors. Who's

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 6: going to be left with the lion's share?

70
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Steven Engel have a ground to mass more than

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: three hundred billion dollars in debt during China's property boom,

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: and a Bloomberg age of Chinese developers is now down

73
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: about three point two percent in Hong Kong trading. That's

74
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: news when you want it with Bloomberg News. Now, I'm

75
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Brian Curtis, This is Bloomberg,
