It is a rare overseas trip since 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: the invasion of Ukraine. The Russian president is seeking to 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: bolster partnerships with key oil producers. Bloomberg's Rosalind Mathieson says 41 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: the visit reveals a lot about the way Putin sees 42 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: his position. 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 6: He's really not left Russia very much since he invaded 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 6: Ukraine almost two years ago.

At a 60 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: fundraiser in Massachusetts, the President said, quote, we can't let 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: him win for the sake of the country. He was 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: asked about the comment afterward. 63 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 9: I expect so, but look, it is running and I 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 9: just have to rus not no, not now. 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 2: The President's comments come as polls show many voters are 66 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: concerned about his age and the prospects of a Biden 67 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: Trump rematch.

It underscores the 82 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 5: gradual cooling in the labor market that policymakers want. The 83 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 5: labor market seems to be softening through slowing demand for 84 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 5: new workers, rather than employers cutting jobs. A separate report 85 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 5: shows easing inflation in the service sector.

Good morning. 215 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: I'm Nathan Hager. 216 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: On a busy morning overseas and in domestic Paul, including 217 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: in Israel, where they are pressing on with the fight 218 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 3: against Hamas in southern Gaza despite international pressure to end 219 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin is on a rare 220 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 3: trip outside his country just landing in the United Arab 221 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: Emirates today, and US President Joe Biden is raising new 222 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: questions with his latest comments on why he's running for reelection. 223 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: Lot's to get to this morning with Bloomberg new senior 224 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: editor Bill Ferries, who joins me now. Bill, So, the 225 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 3: fighting goes on in Gaza, and from the looks and 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: sounds of it, it's about as intense as it's ever been. 227 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 11: Absolutely, there's a lot of reports that the death toll 228 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 11: and southern Gaza has picked up. Israel Is sending forces 229 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 11: all around the second biggest city in Gaza there in 230 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 11: the south in Prime Minister net and Yahoo today said 231 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 11: we will fight until the end, calling for a quote 232 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 11: crushing victory. At the same time, Israeli officials have said 233 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 11: that they are willing to or another pause if or 234 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 11: cease fire if that really allows more hostages to be released. 235 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 11: But you know, from the beginning, I think since October seventh, 236 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 11: when Hamas went into Israel, the Israeli government has said 237 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 11: one of their ultimate goals here is to destroy the 238 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 11: mass leadership, and I think they're going to proceed in 239 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 11: that direction, whether or not they get more hostages out. 240 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 3: Is there a risk that Israel could lose international support 241 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: if the bombardments maintain this level of intensity. 242 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 9: Yeah. 243 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 11: Absolutely. I think you've already seen them on the defensive internationally, 244 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 11: trying to really focus on their efforts to minimize civilian casualties. 245 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 11: But you have people like even the United Nations agencies 246 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 11: that are operating there saying at this point there's really 247 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 11: no safe place for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to 248 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 11: evacuate too. You know that all places are effectively targets 249 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 11: at this point. So I think there's certainly a public 250 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 11: relations battle that goes along with the battle in Gaza, 251 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 11: and I think that's one that Israel. The public relations 252 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 11: battle is one that Israel is really struggling with. 253 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: And while we watched the movement in the Gaza Strip, Bill, 254 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: we are also monitoring movements by Russian President Vladimir Putin. 255 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: We got the headline just moments ago that he has 256 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: arrived in the United Arab Emirates. This is a pretty 257 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: rare trip abroad for the Russian president. 258 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 11: It is there's a lot going on here. 259 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 4: I think. 260 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 11: On the one hand, you know, you go to you 261 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 11: go to the UAE, and you go to Saudi Arabia, 262 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 11: where he's expected I think later in the day. You 263 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 11: go there for one reason, and that's to talk about 264 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 11: oil and energy. Russia has been supportive of the Opek 265 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 11: plus arrangement to cut production further beginning in January. Russia 266 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 11: and Saudi Arabia are really the backbone of that Opek 267 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 11: plus agreement. Though Russia has not really been cutting back 268 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 11: on production, it needs those oil sales to fund its 269 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 11: war in Ukraine. But I think there's also just a 270 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 11: very symbolic gesture and putin traveling, making this trip just 271 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 11: sort of showing that he can travel. There's not many 272 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 11: places where he can go at this point where he 273 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 11: wouldn't be at risk of getting arrested for the for 274 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 11: the Ukraine War. He's skipped a Brick summit in South 275 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 11: Africa earlier this year because of concerns he might be detained. 276 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 11: But he is, you know, he's able to travel relatively freely. 277 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 11: There is a lot of Russian investment in this in 278 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 11: the Gulf States, a lot of Russian companies that have 279 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 11: fled Western sanctions relocated there, a lot of Russians relocated there, 280 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 11: and so I think there's a whole bunch of issues 281 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 11: on his agenda, from from oil to to investment. Uh, 282 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 11: and then frankly, just the symbolic importance of being seen 283 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 11: traveling abroad. 284 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: President Biden is traveling as well, raising a lot of 285 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 3: money for his re election campaign and making some pretty 286 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: interesting comments on why he's running. He's saying that he 287 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: might not even be running if not for former President Trump. 288 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: It's kind of raising concerns, isn't it. 289 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 11: Yeah, you have a lot of people who a lot 290 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 11: of Democrats who would you know, who say they're really 291 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 11: concerned about the president's age. They'd like to see a 292 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 11: different candidate in the race. Frankly, you have a lot 293 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 11: of Republicans who say that about Donald Trump at aged 294 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 11: seventy seven as well. It says a lot about the race. 295 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 11: I think Joe Biden in some ways is saying what 296 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 11: perhaps Democratic strategists and leaders have been saying, which is, 297 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 11: you know, he's he's the only guy who beat Trump 298 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 11: in twenty twenty and and feels perhaps like he's the 299 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 11: one to do it again. I think, you know, he 300 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 11: seemed to walk back that comment a little bit when 301 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 11: he returned to the White House last night, saying that 302 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 11: if you know he would expect that maybe he would 303 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 11: still be the candidate even if Trump wasn't running. But 304 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 11: I think he said he said out loud, the quiet 305 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 11: part that a lot of Democratic operatives have been saying 306 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 11: for a while. 307 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 308 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 309 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 310 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 311 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: get your podcasts. 312 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 313 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 314 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 315 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 316 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: sixty in San Francisco. 317 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 318 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: Amazon Alexa devices.
