Axios: U.S. Asks Russia for New Security Agreement with Europe

The U.S. has asked Russia to submit a new proposal for a future security agreement with Europe that includes Russian steps to ease tension with the continent, two sources with knowledge of the matter said

For years, Russia has sought a European security deal that limits NATO expansion and scales back its military presence in Eastern Europe. The U.S. has rejected those demands in the past, but now appears open to them in some form as part of a broader agreement to end the war in Ukraine

I’ve talked now to 70…68, waiting to hear back from a few more, 68 people, mostly Republican strategists, operatives, etc. and the negativity about the vice president is quite something, someone who I thought two weeks ago was the obvious frontrunner,” Halperin said.

Former President Joe Biden was asked about President Trump’s renovations at the White House in a new People magazine interview:

Reporter: What’s your reaction to the Trump ballroom and the East Wing being destroyed?

Biden: Almost as disturbing as the gold bars on the walls of the White House and the Oval Office. I mean, what the hell are we talking about? I find it disturbing… I’ve viewed the president’s judgment in tearing down the East Wing and a number of other things as nothing more than to try to create monuments to himself: “I built that.” I find it beneath the country.
