Speaker 1: Nathan Karen, we begin with the latest in the war
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Foreign ministers from Russia and Ukraine met in
Speaker 1: Turkey today but failed to make progress in talks to
Speaker 1: stop the war. Moscow says it will continue attacks until
Speaker 1: its demands are met, including the surrender of Ukraine. We

Speaker 1: solved whether Zelensky putin face to face. So asked the
Speaker 1: world community to existance in having these direct negotiations to
Speaker 1: sit down with at the negotiation table. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesman
Speaker 1: John Kirby says the US doesn't think Poland's idea to
Speaker 1: supply makes the Ukraine will work. The intelligence community has
Speaker 1: assessed the transfer of mid twenty nine to Ukraine may
Speaker 1: be mistaken as escalatory, and Kirby says that would hurt
Speaker 1: Ukraine even further. In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: Gay break all right and thank you Meantime, Ukrainian President
Speaker 1: vladimir'sz Lensky is accusing Russia of war crimes, as after
Speaker 1: an air strike hit an maternity hospital and the besieged
Speaker 1: city of Mariopol. An aerial obama on an maternity hospital
Speaker 1: is the conclusive evidence that what is happening is a
Speaker 1: genocide of Ukrainians Europeans. You won't be able to say
Speaker 1: that you didn't see what happened to Ukrainians and Mary
Speaker 1: up Paul, you saw. You know. Consequently, you must strengthen
Speaker 1: sanctions against Russia so that it never has the chance
Speaker 1: to continue this genocide. President Zelenski. He said the attack
Speaker 1: hill three people, including a child. That's according to Mario
Speaker 1: Pol's city council, and President Zelenski is still asking NATO
Speaker 1: to set up a no fly zone Karen, but the
Speaker 1: Pentagon warns that would escalate the situation. Illinois Democrat Roger
Speaker 1: Christian Murthy sits on the House Intelligence Committee. We can't
Speaker 1: let Prutin decide what we're going to do to help
Speaker 1: our friends defend their freedom. And so when President Zelenski
Speaker 1: asked us in a zoom call about a week ago
Speaker 1: to either enforce a no fly zone or give him
Speaker 1: the means to do so, I think we should do
Speaker 1: whatever we can. Congressman Roger Christian Murthy spoke with our
Speaker 1: Washington corresponded Joe Matthew on Bloomberg Sound on Catch the
Speaker 1: program weekdays at five pm Eastern on Bloomberg Radio, Well Nathan.
Speaker 1: The House has passed a more than thirteen billion dollar
Speaker 1: aid package for Ukraine as part of a measure to
Speaker 1: fund the US government for the coming year. Hemmy Morris
Speaker 1: has the details from our Bloomberg newsroom in Washington. The
Speaker 1: emergency Ukraine related spending includes six and a half billion
Speaker 1: dollars for the Pentagon. That's three billion to bolster U
Speaker 1: S troops in Europe and three and a half billion
Speaker 1: to replace weapons given to Ukraine. Coronavirus funding was taken
Speaker 1: out of the measure, and domestic agencies will get their
Speaker 1: biggest increases in years under the bill. Now it's up
Speaker 1: to the Senate to sign off on the legislation before
Speaker 1: the current stop gap measure expires Friday night. Just in case,
Speaker 1: the House also sent the Senate a four day spending
Speaker 1: bill just to buy a little extra time that one expires.
Speaker 1: March fifteen. In Washington, I'm Amy Morris Bloomberg Daybreak. Okay, Amy,
Speaker 1: thank you. The House also approved legislation barring US imports
Speaker 1: of Russian oil. Let's get the details on that live
Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's Rinita Young. Good morning, Grenita, Good morning Nathan.
Speaker 1: The US ban on Russian oil imports would go into
Speaker 1: effect forty five days after it's signed into law. The
Speaker 1: House legislation also takes steps to review Russia's access to
Speaker 1: the World Trade Organization, and it reauthorizes and strengthens the
Speaker 1: Magnitsky Act, which calls for sanctions on offenders of human rights.
Speaker 1: But the legislation does have a provision letting the President
Speaker 1: allow some products to be imported from Russia if they're
Speaker 1: in the national inter but they'll be subject to review
Speaker 1: by Congress. Live in New York, I'm gonna need a
Speaker 1: young Bloomberg Daybreak. I need to thank you. Inflation also
Speaker 1: and focus. This morning, with the release of February's consumer
Speaker 1: price index, we get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, many economists were eyeing in February
Speaker 1: as the peak in US consumer inflation. Now it's looking
Speaker 1: more like a fresh baseline. The consumer price index is
Speaker 1: forecast to rise the most since two but economists are
Speaker 1: now saying it could peak somewhere in the eight to
Speaker 1: nine percent range this month or next. The invasion of
Speaker 1: Ukraine and severe restrictions on the Russian economy will likely
Speaker 1: send the prices of staples like oil and food soaring.
Speaker 1: Without knowing how long the war will last, it's hard
Speaker 1: to know how high and for how long. Michael McKee,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Mike, Thanks. There's also a major
Speaker 1: market event overseas. We get a policy decision from the
Speaker 1: European Central Bank this morning. Here with the details is
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Hana George. Faced with the twin challenges of inflation
Speaker 1: and war on its border, the ECB may postpone it's
Speaker 1: timetable setting out and two trillions of euros of asset
Speaker 1: purchases That would mark another abrupt shift in the central
Speaker 1: bank stance. Just last month, President Christine Lagarde turned more
Speaker 1: hawkish in the face of inflation that's almost three times
Speaker 1: the two percent target. The danger now is that the
Speaker 1: invasion and sanctions against Russia will curb Europe's rebound from
Speaker 1: the pandemic. In London, I'm Hannah George in book day Break, Right, Hannah,
Speaker 1: thank you, And corporate news this morning shares an Amazon
Speaker 1: or surging there up more than six and a half
Speaker 1: percent in early training after announcing plans for a twenty
Speaker 1: one stock split began more from Bloomberg's Charlie Pillett. It's
Speaker 1: subject to a vote by shareholders, which is scheduled from
Speaker 1: May twenty five. The e Commerce Giants Board also approved
Speaker 1: a ten billion dollar share buy bank program. The repurchase
Speaker 1: authorization replaces a current five billion dollar plan approved in

Speaker 1: going on in New York and around the world. Michael,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Nathan. The first licenses to sell
Speaker 1: recreational pond in New York. We'll go to people who
Speaker 1: have a record. State officials said that people with marijuana
Speaker 1: related to convictions will get DIBs on the first one
Speaker 1: hundred two hundred retail cannabis licenses awarded by New York.
Speaker 1: The state says it's part of a broader effort to
Speaker 1: address the inequities of a justice system that locked up
Speaker 1: a disproportionate number of people of her for drug crimes.
Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hokel is set to announce the planned regulations
Speaker 1: for a social equity applicants today. Meanwhile, Governor Hokel showed
Speaker 1: her support for those suffering in Ukraine from the Russian
Speaker 1: invasion and inter faith ceremony was held at a Ukrainian
Speaker 1: Orthodox cathedral in New York City. Hoko was there and
Speaker 1: said she was immersing herself in the community. When I
Speaker 1: look out in this room, yes, I hear the words
Speaker 1: of prayer on your lips, and those are powerful words,
Speaker 1: heartfelt words. But I also see tremendous pain in your eyes.
Speaker 1: Governor HOCl praise the defiance of the Ukrainian people in
Speaker 1: the face of Russia's invasion. South Korea's conservative president elect,
Speaker 1: Yune suk Yo, says he would solidify an alliance with
Speaker 1: the US, build up a powerful military, and sternly cope
Speaker 1: with North Korean provocations. Hours after he won the country's
Speaker 1: hard fought election to become its next leader, Une spoke
Speaker 1: with President O Biden on the phone. The White House
Speaker 1: is reacting to a bill that would make it illegal
Speaker 1: in Florida to discuss sexual identity and orientation in some classrooms.
Speaker 1: It heads through the governor's nest for signing. The state
Speaker 1: Senate passed the measure despite days of protests and student walkouts.
Speaker 1: The bill's supporters claim it gives parents more of a
Speaker 1: say in their children's education. White House Press Secretary Jan Saki,
Speaker 1: I think the most important question now is why are
Speaker 1: Florida leaders deciding they need to discriminate against kids who
Speaker 1: are members of the l g B t q I community.
Speaker 1: What prompts them to do that? Is it meanness? Is
Speaker 1: it wanting to make kids have more difficult times in
Speaker 1: school in their communities. President Biden has condemned the state measure,
Speaker 1: but back as a U. S. Senator, Biden reportedly supported
Speaker 1: similar legislation in Congress. Global News twenty four hours a

Speaker 1: Michael Barr, This is Bloomberg nath Okay, Michael. Thanks, It's
Speaker 1: six nineteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactive
Speaker 1: Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak and Bloomberg's executive editor
Speaker 1: for International Government, Rosalind Matheson is with us as we
Speaker 1: continue trying to sort out some of the latest information
Speaker 1: when it comes to these talks that just ended in
Speaker 1: Turkey between the farm ministers of Russia and Ukraine. Ros,
Speaker 1: good morning. It sounds as though not much progress has
Speaker 1: been made in those types. Can you give us some
Speaker 1: details sort of flush things out for us. Well, that's right.
Speaker 1: So this was the highest level conversation in person that's
Speaker 1: happened between Ukraine and Russia since the war broke out,
Speaker 1: and this was an attempt, particularly on the Ukraine side,
Speaker 1: at least to get some kind of formal agreement on
Speaker 1: temporary cease fires to allow people to leave certain areas
Speaker 1: of Ukraine that are under heavy attack. But even that
Speaker 1: didn't seem to come on the table. The Russian Foreign
Speaker 1: minister said he was actually not there to discuss any
Speaker 1: kind of ceasefire at all. It's slightly unclear what he
Speaker 1: was in fact there to talk about, given there seemed
Speaker 1: to be no tangible takeaways from it, aside from both
Speaker 1: sides saying yeah, they're both realized that they can keep
Speaker 1: having a conversation going. If anything, it was an opportunity
Speaker 1: for Russia to repress its demands on Ukraine, saying it
Speaker 1: wants all its demands met in order for Ukraine to
Speaker 1: surrender and for Russia to pull its troops back out.
Speaker 1: So possibly it was a meeting where they spent an
Speaker 1: hour and a half talking out each other rather than
Speaker 1: listening to each other. Certainly there's no sense of when
Speaker 1: a follow up meeting may happen. Uh and and right
Speaker 1: now we're back to square one. Wow, do we have
Speaker 1: any further clarity on what Russia's demands are? It sounded
Speaker 1: as though there might have been a little bit of
Speaker 1: wiggle room in the last couple of days about regime
Speaker 1: change at least in Ukraine. What are the demands from
Speaker 1: Russia right now? So they have moved about a bit,
Speaker 1: but they seem to really involve the full demilitarization of Ukraine,
Speaker 1: the recognition by Ukraine that separatist areas inside Ukraine are
Speaker 1: in fight independent and that also would include Crimea from
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen, agreeing to what they would quote neutrality,
Speaker 1: which seems to be the Ukraine cannot make any further
Speaker 1: overtures towards Europe at NATA or the European Union, and
Speaker 1: possibly the removal of the government. As you say, some
Speaker 1: officials have said that they don't intend to replaced the regime,
Speaker 1: but that contrast certainly with what with what the Russian
Speaker 1: president was saying in the early days after the invasion.
Speaker 1: He made it very clear he wanted that government gone.
Speaker 1: It sounds as though the diplomats are pretty far apart
Speaker 1: as well on what's happening on the ground in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: We've seen the images come out of the besieged ports
Speaker 1: city of Mariopol, of hospitals coming under attack, reports of
Speaker 1: children and other civilians being killed in what sounds like
Speaker 1: indiscriminate attacks from Russia. At the same time, the Foreign
Speaker 1: Minister Sergei Lavrov is dismissing those reports, calling it fake news.
Speaker 1: What does that say about where these things are going? Well,
Speaker 1: that's right. In fact, the Russian Foreign minister used the
Speaker 1: meeting today to say that Russia had not actually attacked
Speaker 1: Ukraine at all, so again sort of trying to reiterate
Speaker 1: um their point of view, and they were saying both
Speaker 1: today and yesterday that that shelling of a hospital in Mariopool,
Speaker 1: which is the besieged city in the eastern part of Ukraine,
Speaker 1: that that hospital had been empty at the time and
Speaker 1: was occupied not by by women and children and babies,
Speaker 1: but by Ukraine forces and that's why it was shelled.
Speaker 1: Of course, Ukraine says that there were women and children
Speaker 1: in the hospital at the time and several were killed
Speaker 1: or injured. So you're just seeing these accusations traded across
Speaker 1: the board, and that just makes it even harder to
Speaker 1: find a way to see how they can sit down
Speaker 1: at the table and have a proper conversation, a sober
Speaker 1: conversation that takes that emotion in some way out of
Speaker 1: it and allows them to find a way forward given
Speaker 1: the accusations that they seem to be slinging at each other.
Speaker 1: Still now last minute here rise. In the meantime, the
Speaker 1: US European allies are looking for ways to continue supporting Ukraine.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like this idea from Poland of sending
Speaker 1: in its fighter jets and replacing them with US jets
Speaker 1: is a no goal. So where did things go from
Speaker 1: here in terms of the allied response to supporting Ukraine. Well,
Speaker 1: that's right, and in fact Poland was very anxious about
Speaker 1: the idea of sending any of its spider jets into Ukraine.
Speaker 1: It was under a lot of pressure publicly from Ukraine
Speaker 1: to do so. So it's solution was to offer to
Speaker 1: send them somewhere else, to have NATO decide as a
Speaker 1: whole what to do with them, because it was concerned
Speaker 1: that if it's fighters went in, Russia would see that
Speaker 1: as a direct act of aggression. So you see NATO
Speaker 1: really kind of ringing itself in knots a bit about
Speaker 1: how they can support Ukraine but not get drawn in
Speaker 1: fully into a conflict directly. So that means no fly zone,
Speaker 1: it means they won't send fighter jets in. They'll continue
Speaker 1: to send Member States military equipment in and they'll support
Speaker 1: from Afar, but a real sense of our needs about
Speaker 1: the possibility that somehow this conflict could write, could widen,
Speaker 1: and they could get caught up in it too. Thanks

Speaker 1: thank you. At six thirty seven on Wall Street. Let's
Speaker 1: get more now. On this morning's Market Action, Bloomberg television
Speaker 1: anchor and markets reporter Danny Berger is with us this morning.
Speaker 1: So much for the relief rally, Danny, I know, really
Speaker 1: running out of steam. I mean there there were a
Speaker 1: lot of questions yesterday should be said, whether you know
Speaker 1: there was any staying power to the rally, But we
Speaker 1: should say that this is a market that is trading
Speaker 1: based off of headlines, and that's what it really needs.
Speaker 1: It needs more positive headlines coming out of Ukraine, coming
Speaker 1: out of Russia, anything to alleviate some of the supply pressures,
Speaker 1: anything that brings the price of oil down. And we
Speaker 1: just haven't had that today, So absent any positive news,
Speaker 1: this is what the market has been doing, just drifting downwards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does seem as though the warheadlines, all the developments
Speaker 1: there have pushed off what we thought would have been
Speaker 1: the catalysts a couple of weeks ago. Of course, central
Speaker 1: banks and inflation, Yeah, exactly, it's it's it's a strange
Speaker 1: world where these types of things take a back seat. Now,
Speaker 1: the ECB decision, it will be really fascinating today because
Speaker 1: the ECB is in a very difficult position. Um, they're
Speaker 1: facing a crisis on their hands, in economic crisis of course,
Speaker 1: alongside the humanitarian one. Um, but what tools do they
Speaker 1: have to ensure that economy stays stable? Inflation is shooting higher, um,
Speaker 1: And they've already are at they're already at an extremely
Speaker 1: accommodative stance considering Um, you know, we're only just starting
Speaker 1: to get out of the damage COVID did to the economy.
Speaker 1: So you know, what are they going to do? It's
Speaker 1: very unclear, but it will set the pace for other
Speaker 1: central banks as they deal with this crisis. And of course,
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna be looking ahead to the Fed on
Speaker 1: Wednesday and we get the CPI data just a couple
Speaker 1: of hours from now, Could that be a catalyst when
Speaker 1: we're expecting yet another historically high print for prices. I
Speaker 1: think that the expectation for high inflation in the U
Speaker 1: s is baked into the cave. Of course, there are
Speaker 1: people who see even more inflation. Um. There have been
Speaker 1: double digit estimates thrown out there, um. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll have these numbers today. But I have to say
Speaker 1: I think that most people already anticipating that they will
Speaker 1: be extremely high. And much like the ECB, isn't a
Speaker 1: difficult position. Certainly the said will be as well. Do
Speaker 1: they need to slam on the brakes? But we're doing
Speaker 1: so hamper US economic growth with all these supply constraints
Speaker 1: as well. Lots to keep on top of this morning

Speaker 1: The following commentary is from Bloomberg Opinion Audiences. I'm Jonathan Instein,
Speaker 1: a calumnist for Bloomberg Opinion. Joe Biden's public statement announcing
Speaker 1: a US cut off of Russian oil was an excellent
Speaker 1: example of how multiple audiences complicate and constrain presidents. Start
Speaker 1: with Vladimir Putin, Biden's goal continues to be impressing on
Speaker 1: him how seriously the U S and its allies take
Speaker 1: Putin's aggression and how severe the consequences will be without
Speaker 1: doing anything that risks enlarging the war. Biden's next audience
Speaker 1: of the Ukrainians. He wants them to keep fighting and
Speaker 1: feel strong support, even if he can't give them the
Speaker 1: unqualified assistance they want. And then there are NATO allies,
Speaker 1: friendly nations, other world leaders, as well as private companies
Speaker 1: and other non government actors, all of whom pay attention
Speaker 1: to what presidents say. Only after all of that can
Speaker 1: Biden worry about audiences at home, including voters. For them,
Speaker 1: Biden's interest remains playing down the rush of Ukraine situation.
Speaker 1: His primary message for voters remains reassuring them that the
Speaker 1: United States is not at war and will not go
Speaker 1: to war, whatever else he's saying for others. I'm Jonathan

Speaker 1: t Stem report Nathan Okay, Karen, thank you. We are
Speaker 1: live from the Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studios where it's almost
Speaker 1: six fifty two on Wall Street time now to check
Speaker 1: what's going on in DC. Very busy times in the
Speaker 1: nation's capital, the House has voted to ban Russian oil
Speaker 1: imports in it a bipartisan uproar over the war in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: lawmakers have passed to one and a half trillion dollars
Speaker 1: spending measure with Ukraine eight as well, and the US
Speaker 1: is considering looser economic restrictions on Venezuela. Let's bring in
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Government Congressional reporter Jack fitz Patrick, who has been
Speaker 1: very busy covering all these developments. Jack, good morning. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the Russian oil band. Seems like that's at
Speaker 1: least one thing that lawmakers can find bipartisan agreement around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that had a lot of bipartisan support. It did get
Speaker 1: watered down a little bit. This essentially follows the track
Speaker 1: that President Biden has already chosen to take his He
Speaker 1: was pushed by Congress to take this path to cut
Speaker 1: off any imports of Russian oil, gas, and coal. Uh.
Speaker 1: It doesn't add much else. Besides that, there appeared to
Speaker 1: be bipartisans support for a measure to uh end Russia's
Speaker 1: normal trade status, effectively allowing more tariffs on Russia that
Speaker 1: ended up getting pulled out at the request of the
Speaker 1: White House. So it's not entirely clear where this goes
Speaker 1: in the Senate because there is support for this kind
Speaker 1: of bill, but it doesn't really push anything much further.
Speaker 1: Uh So we haven't heard when it would get a
Speaker 1: Senate vote exactly. It is by artisan but it really
Speaker 1: has been mirrored by President Biden's own actions in his
Speaker 1: own right. Have we got any more clarity from the
Speaker 1: White House on why they didn't want that normal trade
Speaker 1: status provision included, not specifically. They played that pretty quietly.
Speaker 1: Our colleagues have reported that that was taken out at
Speaker 1: the request of the White House, but they, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I have have not really laid out their reasoning exactly.
Speaker 1: I think the broader context is they have tried to
Speaker 1: keep some options on the table. They haven't argued outright
Speaker 1: against the idea of more sanctions on Russia, but when
Speaker 1: Congress has sought to push them to do more, the
Speaker 1: White House has often sort of gone back and said,
Speaker 1: let's leave ourselves some options, possibly adding some in the future,
Speaker 1: depending on exactly how this plays out over the next
Speaker 1: month or more. And it certainly looks as though Congress
Speaker 1: hasn't closed the door on further aid to Ukraine. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this big spending bill that finally got
Speaker 1: past out of the House. It includes a lot more
Speaker 1: Ukraine aid than even the White House have been asking for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the the conversation initially was for I think six point
Speaker 1: four billion was the first request for Ukraine aid it
Speaker 1: went up to ten billion. Then the House just passed
Speaker 1: thirteen point six billion UH in this supplemental Ukraine bill
Speaker 1: along with the broader government funding bill. About half of
Speaker 1: that almost half, about a six and a half billion,
Speaker 1: goes to d O D, largely to refill their coffers
Speaker 1: for things they've already done to help Ukraine. But there
Speaker 1: are there's a few billion dollars for humanitarian needs UH
Speaker 1: and members we've talked to, including Chris Murphy and the
Speaker 1: Senate have already said, you know, this could be more
Speaker 1: of a down payment. We could actually see more bills
Speaker 1: in the future, either on the defense side and or
Speaker 1: the humanitarian side for Ukraine. Finally, Jack, what more are
Speaker 1: we hearing about this potential faugh in relations between the
Speaker 1: US and Venezuela. We know there was that surprise meeting
Speaker 1: over the week end with Biden administration officials in Venezuela.
Speaker 1: What's what's come out of that? Yes, our colleague Jordan
Speaker 1: Fabian has has reported, citing an administration official, that that
Speaker 1: conversation did occur and that really the focus was that
Speaker 1: if the US is going to relax economic pressure and
Speaker 1: if there's going to be especially imports of Venezuelan oil
Speaker 1: to the US. They're waiting to see how conversations between
Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro and his political opposition go. So this is
Speaker 1: essentially seems to be a message from the White House,
Speaker 1: uh that they want to see uh some democratic reforms
Speaker 1: or movement toward democracy before really opening up a real
Speaker 1: economic relationship between the US and Venezuela. I certainly would
Speaker 1: be a big shift in foreign policy. Okay, Jack, thanks
Speaker 1: as always. That's Bloomberg Government congressional reporter Jack Fitzpatrick. Read

Speaker 1: its first female Gunneryofficer. Cutty rose to the rank of lieutenant.
Speaker 1: She later worked for U. S. Naval Intelligence, the Library
Speaker 1: of Congress, and the National Security Agency. Cutty is also
Speaker 1: the daughter of the first married Korean couple to immigrate
Speaker 1: to the US. She served during World War Two. During
Speaker 1: the first celebration of Susann Cutty Day, she was one
Speaker 1: hundred years old, she said when the war came, she
Speaker 1: was motivated to fight for freedom, and it didn't matter
Speaker 1: whether she was Asian or not. During her service, Cutty
Speaker 1: had to endure segregation and racism and had to marry
Speaker 1: her Irish American husband on a naval base because interracial
Speaker 1: marriages were against the law at the time in Virginia.
