00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with the lead up to a crucial meeting,

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: now just a day away. President Trump is set to

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: appear face to face with Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: in Anchorage, Alaska. The President is warning a very severe

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: consequences if Putin does not agree to a cease fire

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: with Ukraine. He says he hopes to set up a

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: second meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zlensky after the summit.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 4: It was always going to be I was going to

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 4: meet with President Putin, and then after that, I'm going

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: to call the leaders and Presidents Olenski. I'm going to

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 4: call Presidents Olenski, and then I'll call probably in that

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: order of the leaders. There's a very good chance that

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: we're going to have a second meeting, which will be

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 4: more productive than the first.

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: President Trump spoke at the Kennedy Center and comments heard

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: live on Bloomberg Radio. Bloomberg's rosalind Of Mathieson says the

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: President appears to be shifting his tone.

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 5: We had a lot of conversation between Donald Trump and

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin, where Donald Trump seemed quite effusive about the

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 5: relationship and sent me about his ability to create a

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 5: ceasefire in Ukraine sooner than later. Then he seemed to

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 5: get quite exasperated with Vladimir Putin to the point he

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: was already threatening him with severe consequences, including potentially tightening

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 5: the news even further on exports of Russian oil, especially

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 5: to countries in Europe. And then he swung back a

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 5: bit towards optimism on these talks, and now again he's

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 5: talking about severe consequences.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: Bloomberg's Ros Mathison reports the President assured European allies in

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: a call yesterday that he would not negotiate territories with Putin,

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 3: but would instead push him to meet with Zelenski Nathan.

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: President Trump also says he will name a replacement for

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: FED chair Jerome Powell a little bit early.

36
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: He made the.

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: Comments during the Kennedy Center news conference.

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: I'll be naming a new chairman sometime within the next

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: I think i'll name it a little bit earlier. The

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: new chairman. I'm down to three or four names. All good,

41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: all great. The problem is you name him and then

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: they turn out to be not good.

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: And while the President's maintained his list for the position

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: is relatively short, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson is telling Bloomberg

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: the administration plans to consider as many as eleven candidates.

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: Bessett also says interest rates would be one and a

47
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: half to one in three quarters percent lower by now

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: if the Fed had gotten revised jobs data sooner.

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 6: If we'd seen those numbers in May in June, I

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 6: suspect we could have had rate cuts in June and July.

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 6: So that tells me that there's a very good chance

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: of a fifty basis point rate cut.

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: That was Treasury Secretary Scott Besson speaking with Bloomberg. For

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: the full conversation, head to the Bloomberg Podcast channel on YouTube.

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Navin, a former Saint Louis fan president and current candidate

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: to become the next FED share Jim Bullard, tells Bloomberg

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: that he expects the FED to cut rates in September,

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: but he does not expect a half point cut.

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 7: I think fifty sounds panick. He sounds like the administration

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 7: wouldn't be that confident in their economic program, which I

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 7: don't think is the right stance to take here. I

62
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 7: think they've got a pro business program that will fire

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 7: up the economy after we get through the initial phase

64
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 7: of the new tariff policies.

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: Former Saint Louis FED president Jim Bullard says if he

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: has chosen to succeed j Powell as FED sherman, he

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: would seek to break down quote group think inside the

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Central Bank on Nathan Over in Europe, the UK economy

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: did better than expected in the second quarter. GDP rows

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: three ten percent, beating the one to ten percent forecast

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: by both private sector economists and the Bank of England.

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: Again more from Bloomberg's Lizzie Burden in London, it is.

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 8: A positive surprise and that it's not as bad as expected,

74
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 8: but still growth slowed. Second quote, you're coming down from

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 8: zero point seven percent to zero point three percent, which

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 8: still understores the stock in stockflation.

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: Bloomber's Lizzie Burden says, the latest figures mean the UK

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: recorded the fastest growth of the Group of seven nations

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: during the first half of the year.

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: Well back in this nation, Karen President Trump's tariffs of

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: for having an impact at America's busiest port, the port

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: of Los Angeles moved more than a million containers last month.

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: That was an eight and a half percent increase from

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: the year before and the most container volume in the

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: port's one hundred and seventeen year history. Ports Executive director

86
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: Jean Soroca says traders front loaded cargo to reach stores

87
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: before President Trump's new duties took effect.

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Let's turn to the markets now, Nathan, in futures, they

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: are a little changed after stocks notched another record closed.

90
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: The big winner was the Dow, it gained one percent.

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: Pn C Chief Investment Officer Amanda Gotti says, there are

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: a lot of bullish signs in the market.

93
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 9: If you look at the hard data that's been tracked

94
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 9: all year, even in the most recent GDP report, a

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 9: three handle in terms of growth. We're closing out on

96

Speaker 9: Q two earning season for the SMP it's almost twelve

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 9: percent year over year growth. So the hard data is

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 9: looking really strong. And then when you layer on top

99
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 9: of that a potential fed rate cut, well, what else

100
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 9: could the equity market ask for.

101
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: PNC Chief investment Officer Amanda Agatti traders are fully pricing

102
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: in a quarter point rate cut next month.

103
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760

00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: debut yesterday. On the flip side, shares of Coherent are

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: down more than eighteen percent. The semiconductor device company sales

109

Speaker 3: forecast came in below estimates. Cisco shares are down more

110
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: than one percent. The largest maker of machines that run

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: computer networks and the Internet, gave a lukewarm forecast for

112
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: the current fiscal year.

113
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: And it's time now for a look at some of

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: the other stories making news in New York and around

115
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: the world. And for that we're joined by Bloombergy's Michael Barr.

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 10: Michael, good morning, Good morning, Karen. President Trump says he

117
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 10: is considering extending the federal government's control of the DC

118
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 10: police force. The President has claimed that crime in Washington

119
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 10: is at an all time high, but recent data shows

120
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 10: the opposite, that crime is the lowest it has been

121
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 10: in decades. Still, the President told reporters that he plans

122
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 10: to extend federal control. Passed the thirty days allotted to

123
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 10: him by law by proposing a law to Congress. He

124
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 10: also pushed back on efforts to make Washington d C.

125
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 6: Estate statehood is ridiculous.

126
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 4: We want to straighten the place out. Statehood's ridiculous, it's unacceptable.

127
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 10: Meanwhile, DC Councilwoman Brooke Pinto said the district needs more

128
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 10: police officers, not federal troops.

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: There are a lot of elements of federal support that

130
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: we would welcome to support public safety, but the action

131
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: that the President has taken this week is not the answer.

132
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 10: Residents in one Washington d C. Neighborhood lined up to

133
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 10: protest the increased police presence. Republican leaders in Texas say

134
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 10: they planned to end the stalemated special session and begin

135
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 10: a new one tomorrow. Some Texas House Democrats who left

136
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 10: the state to prevent a vote on new congressional maps

137
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 10: said they would return to vote on flood relief. Texas

Speaker 10: State Representative Linda Garcia, while.

139
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 6: This is absolutely about redistricting and jerry mandering, we also

140
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: have to understand the impact that this is going to

141
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 6: have across the United States.

142
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,000

00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 11: both blue leads and lost. The Mets had a six

160
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 11: nothing lead once so Tho with a home run, but

161
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 11: Atlanta had a big fourth inning against David Peterson who

162
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 11: had control issues. He came out, Read.

163
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 10: Garrett came in.

164
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 12: Michael Harris singled earlier this evening. He gets a bas

165
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 12: hit right here the Braves at least high the game,

166
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 12: smacked in the air, deep center field, flying.

167
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 10: Back to the wall.

168
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: It's a great.

169
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 12: Swam Michael Harris to the deepest part of the yard

170
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 12: with a big set a bomb and the Braves take

171
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 12: the lead on the grand slam by Harris.

172
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 11: Craise radio nine run in Atlanta one eleven to six.

173
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 11: Yankees got an early Cody Bellinger home run, but only

174
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 11: four other hits. The Twins won four to one. Good

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 11: news for the Yanks that almost all of the other

176
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 11: American League playoff contenders lost. Toronto only two hits and

177
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 11: a four to one loss of the Cubs. Red Sox

178
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 11: lost at Houston four to one. Seattle's eight game wins

179
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 11: streak ended a four to three loss in Baltimore, Cleveland, Texas,

180
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 11: Kansas City, all just behind the Yankees the last wildcard

181
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 11: they all lost as well. The Brewers won again. That's

182
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 11: twelve wins in a row. It was twelve to five

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 11: of our Pittsburgh Milwaukee with a series suite by a

184
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 11: combined thirty three to six. Brewers have won twenty seven

185
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 11: of their last thirty one. Minnesota Twins owned by the

186
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 11: Polad family since nineteen eighty four.

187
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 10: They had plans to sell the team.

188
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 11: They've changed their mind. The Portland Trailblazers bought by the

189
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 11: late Paul Allen in nineteen eighty eight for seventy million,

190
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 11: his estate, selling to Tom Dundo, who also owns the

191
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 11: Carolina Hurricanes STAG four billion. The proceeds to go to

192
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 11: philanthropic efforts and the sale of the Celtics. What Grosbeck

193
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 11: that built Chisholm for a record six billion unanimously approved.

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 10: By the NBA.

195
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 11: Grosbeck was going to continue to oversee operations. That is

196
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 11: now no longer the case. John stash Out with Bloomberg

202
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. President Donald Trump is setting

203
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: expectations ahead of his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin,

204
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 3: now just one day away. The President says the meeting

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: to try to end the war in Ukraine might not

206
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: be the last.

207
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: Certain great things can be gained in the Firson. It's

208
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: going to be a very important meeting, but it's setting

209
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: the table for the second meeting.

210
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: President Trump's spoke at the Kennedy Center after a pre

211
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: meeting call with European allies and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski.

212
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: We're joined now by Bloomberg News Chief Asia correspondent Rosalind

213
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: Matheson and Roz As we continue to set the table

214
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 3: for this summit. We're getting some headlines from Russia's Task

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: news service, with the Kremlin saying that the agenda for

216
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: the meeting between Trump and Putin has been set and

217
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: the two leaders planned to hold a joint news conference

218
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: after their talks. How is Russia setting the table for

219
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: what could come tomorrow at Anchorage?

220
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning. Well, certainly Vladimir Putin has been

221
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: clear about some of his goals from the summit, and

222
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 5: as you say, part of it is just see optics

223
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: of having the sit down with Donald Trump, who we're

224
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 5: now seeing those reports is going to be a joint

225
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: press briefing afterwards. So the two leaders standing side by

226
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 5: side on Russian soil, I sorry on US soil and

227
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 5: the Russian leader being hosted by Donald Trump as part

228
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 5: of that. So optically that's got to be at least

229
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: as part of the goal of having the meetings. Also

230
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: about obviously setting some parameters on Ukraine. Donald Trump is

231
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 5: very keen to have a conversation about how to get

232
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: towards a ceasefire in the conflict in Ukraine. But also

233
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 5: for Vladimir Putin, it's about trying to get sanctions relief

234
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 5: from the US. Of course, the threat to panalize Russian

235
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: oil that's being exported to countries in Asia, you know,

236
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 5: China and India, particularly India of late, has been squeezing

237
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: the Russian economy, and Vladimir Putin is very keen to

238
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: get some sort of sense of sanctions relief from the

239
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 5: US on it, and to pivot the conversation in a

240
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: way probably to talk more about the bilateral economic relationship,

241
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 5: to try and get a sense of understanding from Donald

242
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 5: Trump about where he's taking those sanctions as of tilting

243
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 5: the opportunities in a way of greater economic ties as

244
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 5: time goes on between the US and Russia. So obviously

245
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 5: the overarching element here is Ukraine. But Vladimir Putin probably

246
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: has some domestic to Do's also that he wants to

247
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: get on the table with the US leader.

248
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: And to the point about the idea of economic cooperation,

249
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: we heard the President yesterday say that there could be

250
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: very severe consequences for President Putin if he doesn't agree

251
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: to a cease fire tomorrow. We've not seen direct sanctions

252
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: from the US in recent months. Could sanctions be back

253
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: on the table.

254
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: Well, Donald Trump has certainly flowed to that, and he's

255
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: looked particularly at secondary sanctions and panealizing India above all

256
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 5: for importing and continuing to import Russian energy, but he's

257
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 5: not been looking to penalize China, which of course is

258
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 5: a very big buyer of Russian energy, and also talking

259
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: about the possibility of further direct sanctions on Russia. Although

260
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 5: the economy is so sanctioned, it's hard to see what

261
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: else is really on the table from a domestic perspective.

262
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 5: But certainly, you know, Vladimir Putin is aware of the

263
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 5: pressure that his economy is under. Despite being on a

264
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: war footing and war production, there are underlying cracks in

265
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 5: his economy that are just starting to emerge. Is a

266
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 5: big part of the puzzle for him there. So he's

267
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: going to be trying to really couch this conversation about

268
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: the US Russia economic relationship, the opportunity they're lifting sanctions,

269
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: talking about sort of business ties possibly developing. Of course,

270
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: all of this is possibly many years down the track,

271
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: and the return of US business to Russia, well, that's

272
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 5: going to be something very slow the way. But certainly

273
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 5: Vladimir Putin's got a broader church here and the conversation

274
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: in his mind than just for him. The question of Ukraine.

275
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: Following the call between the President and European allies, it

276
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: seems as though the President's focus is on ceasefire as

277
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: opposed to territorial negotiations. Is there a sense now that

278
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: the President and European Allies are on the same page here,

279
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: is there still a risk that there could be some

280
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: kind of agreement here that puts Ukraine at a disadvantage.

281
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: You have about a minute left.

282
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: Well, certainly with little Trump in the way he operates,

283
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: there's always the something happening that's not expected in the

284
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: minute or has not been prepped for, and that is

285
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: still the concern obviously for Ukraine and Europe, is that

286
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: out of this meeting, the two leaders sitting down together

287
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: one on one, Putin being a very astute political operator,

288
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: that somehow in the minute Donald Trump agrees to something

289
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 5: or the conversation does move very heavily in the area

290
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: of territorial concessions from Ukraine without Ukraine being at the conversation,

291
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 5: and the parameters for a ceasefire from Russian Ukraine are

292
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: very different. But the lease, perhaps by Tom Putin, will

293
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 5: give Donald Trump a sense so he's willing to move

294
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: the conversation towards a ceasefire and perhaps even a conversation

295
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 5: at some point that involves the Ukrainian leader as well.
