Speaker 3: Envoy Steve Whitcoff and President Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner,

8

00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 4: They said there were constructive discussions, very informative. They talked

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 4: about receiving more detailed documents from the US that they

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 4: need to study, but there was a little actual substance

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 4: on which they agreed. And Kremlin policy aid Yuri Ushakov

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: basically told reporters that there were crucial areas such as

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: the territorial question on which they didn't agree in that

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 4: there would be much more work needed.

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Tony Happen reports Attention now turns to a NATO

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: feign minister's meeting today in Brussels to discuss the alliances

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: support for Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is not

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: expected to attend well.

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: Back in Washington, Nathan Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is speaking

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: for the first time about a suspected drug boat strike

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: that has him facing accusations of possible war crimes. During

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: a White House Cabinet meeting heard live on Bloomberg Radio,

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Haigeseth said he wasn't watching when a Navy admiral ordered

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: a second strike on the vessel on September second. As

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: you can imagine, the Department of War, we got a

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: lot of things to do, so I didn't stick around

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: for the hour and two hours whatever where all.

30
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 5: The sensitive side exploitation digitally occurs.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: So I moved on to my next meeting.

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: Secretary Heggseth says he learned the full sequence of events

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: a couple hours later, and he says Admiral Frank Bradley

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: made the right call to sink the boat and eliminate

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: the threat. Not all lawmakers are convinced. Ted Low is

36

Speaker 2: Vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 6: I served on.

Speaker 3: Active duty as a jack for four years and then

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: additional twenty one years in the reserves, and let me

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: be very clear, killing shipwreck survivors is a war.

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: Crime, and Republican Senator Tom Tillis is calling the second

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,639

Speaker 6: A special election in Tennessee allows Republicans to keep their

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 6: razor thin majority in Congress. The winner, Matt Van Epps,

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 6: had no apologies for being hardcore maga.

52
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: This is President Trump's party.

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 7: I'm proud to be a part of it and can't

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 7: wait to get to work.

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 6: Van Apps receiving fifty four percent of the vote the

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 6: Democrat challenger after Bain's forty five, a margin of nine points,

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 6: not as great as some would have thought for a regent.

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 6: President Trump won by twenty two points for Bain. It

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 6: signals a future of.

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: Change and we may not have won tonight, but we

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: changed the story of what's possible here and we're not done.

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 6: Not by a longshot well. The special election was called

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040

64
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,720

00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,640

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 6: runoff election for mayor of Jersey City. City Council member

Speaker 6: James Solomon won the race, beating former Governor Jim McGreevy.

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 6: Shortly after the polls closed, Solomon was leading with sixty

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 6: nine percent of the vote, according to the AP, which

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 6: called the race. Solomon pledging to make the city more

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 6: affordable and to fight corruption, similar promises to those made

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 6: by New York City Mayor elect Zorinbumdani. I'm John Tucker,

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Radio, All.

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Right, John, thank you by The Trump administration is poised

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: to undo Biden era fuel efficiency standards, which it blames

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: for driving up the cost of new cars and Bloomberg

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Amy Morris reports from Washington.

78
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 8: The administration is expected to propose standards that are less

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 8: stringent than those finalized under former President Biden. The move

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 8: is the latest in President Trump's push to dismantle policies

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 8: he criticizes as an ev mandate. The Trump administration has

82
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 8: argued that artificially high fuel economy requirements have pushed the

83
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 8: price of a new car out of reach for many Americans.

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 8: Still using fuel economy requirements is not likely to bring

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 8: down car prices because carmakers plan those lineups years in advance.

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 8: In Washington, Amy Morris Bloomberg Radio, all.

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: Right, Amy, thank you for expecting that announcement from the

88
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: president later today. But President Trump says he plans to

89
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: announce his selection to lead the Federal Reserve early next year.

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: At that cabinet meeting at the White House yesterday, the

91
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: President te's White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett

92
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: as his possible choice.

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 5: I guess the potential fed cheers here too.

94
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 5: We sh allowed to say that potential is a respected

96
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 5: person that I can tell you. Thank you, Kevin.

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: Now the comments for President Trump offer a clearer timeline

98
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: for that announcement, which he said would come after considering

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: around ten candidates.

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, we turned to the markets, where futures are

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: higher again. Following yesterday's gains on Wall Street, the S

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: and P five hundreds rallied for more than a week

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: on an expected rate cut one week from today. Laura

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: Cooper is a global investment strategist at Neuvene.

105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 9: Historically, we do tend to see December as a strong

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 9: month of outperformance for US equities, and I think we're

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 9: probably in for some modest upside, but I think there's

108
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 9: limited scope for significant gains because a lot of the

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 9: driver of recent price action has been that repricing of

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 9: the FED rate cuts. It's expected next week.

111
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: New Vean's Laura Cooper says the feds outlook on future

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: rate cuts will be key for the markets.

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: In some company news this morning, Karen, we're watching shares

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: of crowd Strike. They're down about two percent in early training.

115
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 3: The cybersecurity provider did top earnings estimates, but its outlook

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: disappointed some investors. CrowdStrike was up fifty one percent this

117
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: year before that earnings release.

118
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: And looking at the flip side, Nathan shares of Marvel Technology,

119
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 2: they're up about ten percent. The company announced plans to

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: acquire startup Celestial AI for at least three and a

121
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: quarter billion dollars. It's part of Marvel's push to capture

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: more of the runaway spending on artificial intelligence computing.

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 3: And Bitcoin's trading at a two week high this morning Karen

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: right now up about one point six percent. That ninety

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: three thousand cryptocurrency seeking a sustained recovery from a week's

126
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: long sell off that began in early October, days after

127
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: bitcoin hit a record of more than one hundred and

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: twenty six thousand. Since then, more than a trillion dollars

129
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: in crypto market value has been wiped out.

130
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: We have a warning here, Nathan from the SEC. It

131
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: has issued a flurry of letters to firms, including direction

132
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: pro shares and title blocking the introduction of products designed

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: to deliver two or three times the daily returns of stocks,

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: commodities and cryptocurrencies. The SEC's concern is that the fund's

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: risk exposures may see the agency's limits on how much

136
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 2: risk of fund can take on relative to its assets.

137
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: The regulator has directed the fund managers to other revis

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: their investment strategies or formally withdraw their applications.

139
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: And it is an unprecedented philanthropic effort Karen Dell Technologies

140
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: founder Michael Dell and his wife Susan are giving twenty

141
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: five million American children two hundred and fifty dollars each

142
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: to jump start investment accounts for their future that adds

143
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: up to six point twenty five billion dollars, a pledge

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 3: that's part of the America Initiative, better known as Trump Accounts,

145
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: that were created earlier this year under the One Big,

146
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill Act. Michael Dell discussed the pledge in bloomber interview.

147
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 5: We do think that this will be catalytic and that

148
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: more philanthropists and companies will will join us over time.

149
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 5: And again, this is a platform for the future of

150
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: these children.

151
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: And you can watch our full interview with Dell Technologies

Speaker 3: on YouTube.

00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: Time now a look at some of the other stories

155
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: making news in New York and around the world, and

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

157
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 7: Michael, good morning, Good morning Karen. The cleanup continues in

00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 7: roads clear of snow. This man was out driving and

161
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 7: found things a bit difficult.

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: It was raining, so the roads were already wet, and

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: then the snow just came up on top of it,

164
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: so you can't really see the black ice.

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 7: New York City just got rained, but the Central Hudson

166
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 7: River Valley got about nine inches of snowfall. The Pennsylvania

167
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 7: police officer who arrested accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione appeared

168
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 7: in a New York City court. Officer Joseph Dettwiler testified

169
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 7: on day two of Mangione's hearing to bar New York

170
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 7: prosecutors from using evidence they say links him to the

171
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 7: murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Manhattan Street.

172
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 7: Officer Debtwiler testified he was skeptical about the tip about

173
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 7: a male who looks like the shooter, but as soon

174
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 7: as the man pulled down his max, the officers said,

175
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 7: I knew it was him immediately. Ed Wiler said MANGIONI

176
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 7: gave him a fake name in ID and claimed he

177
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 7: was homeless. The Trump administration says it will withhold funds

178
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 7: for administering snap food Aid and most Democratic controlled states

179
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 7: starting next week unless they provide data about those receiving

180
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 7: the assistance. Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins said that the action

181
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 7: is looming because those states are refusing to provide requested

182
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 7: information about the recipients, including the names and immigration status,

183
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 7: but twenty.

184
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: One states, including California, New York, and Minnesota Blue States

185
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: continued to say no.

186
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 7: Secretary Rolin says it's necessary that states comply to root

187
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 7: out fraud in the program. Democratic states have sued to

188
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 7: block the requirement. Global News twenty four hours a day

Speaker 10: Texas Tech. Alani Sataki decided to stay at BYU rather

198

208
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Very useful, very informative. Those

209
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: are some of the words the Kremlin is using to

210
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: describe the latest talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and

211
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Ukrainian President Vladimir

212
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: Lensky says he's waiting to hear the results. If I

213
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: feel phil that we can count on real specific dialogue,

214
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: not just wors with some result, we will admit. That

215
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: was Ukrainian President Vladimir Lenski speaking in Ireland ahead of

216
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: the nearly five hour talks in Moscow. Joining us for

217
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: more is Bloomberg Opinion columnist Mark Champion, Mark, Good morning.

218
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: Did we hear real specific action coming out of those talks?

219
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 11: Good morning, good morning.

220
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 10: No.

221
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 11: In essence, the message all that we know about the

222
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 11: talks that so far has come from the Russian side

223
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 11: one of President Putin's advisors explain what went on, and

224
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 11: his message essentially was, you know, this was good, We

225
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 11: liked it, but there was no progress. We looked at

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 11: the plan that the Americans had, the old plan that's

227
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 11: been you know, made since the Russian American plan was

228
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 11: initially put forward. We looked at the altered plan, but

229
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 11: we were focused really on the kind of spirit of

230
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 11: the deal. We didn't get into the nitty gritty and

231
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 11: you know, and there's stuff in there. Some of it

232
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 11: we might be able to accept some of the changes,

233
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 11: but some of some big key things that we are not,

234
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 11: and we see quite negatively. So you know, it's pretty

235
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 11: clear there won't be a big summit between Trump and

236
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 11: put In to announce a deal anytime soon. Whether this

237
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 11: can actually move forward, it really depends on how the

238
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 11: Americans play it and whether there was any sign of

239
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 11: real movement from the Russians, because that initial deal with

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 11: the twenty eight points that the Russians still like to

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 11: sort of, you know, lean on, that one was really

242
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 11: poison for the Ukrainian side and for their European allies.

243
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: We've heard from President Zelensky on X this morning saying

244
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: his Defense Secretary rustam Umrav is going to meet with

245
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 3: national security advisors to European leaders in Brussels today following

246
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: these discussions. Where is Europe in all this?

247
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 11: Mark, Well, they're I mean, they are important in the

248
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 11: sense that Ukraine, you know, they're they're only Ukraine's only

249
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 11: true allies. At this point, the US has you know,

250
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 11: posed itself as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, which

251
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 11: means it's distance itself from supporting Ukraine and it also

252
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 11: has its own interests. So you can see that, you know,

253
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 11: threaded through those twenty eight points, it's you know, there

254
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 11: are American profits to be made, American deals to be made.

255
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 11: If you look at who is negotiating the deal on

256
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 11: behalf of the Americans, it's a real estate developer, Steve Witkoff,

257
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 11: and then Jared Kushner, who is you know, a son

258
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 11: in law to the President but also primarily a businessman

259
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 11: and a lot you know. On the other side for

260
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 11: the Russian side, one of the key players in negotiate

261
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 11: and keep partner for Wikoff has been kirolled Dimitriev, who

262
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 11: runs the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund. So this is you know,

263
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 11: on the Americans are trying to negotiate a deal that

264
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 11: resets relations in a way that's economically beneficial to the US.

265
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 11: The Ukrainian issue for them is secondary. It needs to

266
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 11: get dealt with, but it isn't actually the primary issue

267
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 11: for the Americans. It remains the primary issue for Europe

268
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 11: because Ukraine is a vital security interest for the Europeans

269
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 11: just because of geography.
