Zelenskyy teases MAJOR Trump meeting: 'Could change a lot'

WHEN HE JOINS "FOX AND FRIEND.". >> Griff: PRESIDENT LOOKS AT. NEXT STEP SAYS WITH IRAN, HE. WILL MEET WITH GULF LEADERS. TOMORROW BEFORE WELCOMING. PRESIDENT XI TO THE U.S. THIS. WEEK AFTER TREASURY SECRETARY. SCOTT BESSENT MET WITH OFFICIALS. YESTERDAY AHEAD OF THE SUMMIT. DAN HOFMAN JOINS ME NOW. A SIGNIFICANT WEEK, WHERE DO YOU. WANT TO PICK UP ON WHAT WE CAN.

EXPECT TO SEE? >> Dan: I THINK ALL NATIONAL. SECURITY THREATS WILL COME INTO. PLAY AS THE PRESIDENT HOSTS XI. JINPING. CHINA HAS BEEN SUPPORTING RUSSIA. IN THE WAR ON UKRAINE AND CHINA. IS ALSO SUPPORTING IRAN IN AN. ECONOMIC WAR OF ATTRITION WE'RE. SEEING WITH SPORADIC KINETIC. STRIKES INCLUDING FROM IRAN'S. PROXY TERRORISTS ON SAUDI.

ARABIA. WE HAVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. TO DISCUSS AND SECRETARY SCOTT. BESSENT LAID GROUNDWORK FOR. FRAMEWORK OF DISCUSSION OF. COMMON THREATS AND COMMON GOALS. RELATED TO AI. JUST A LITANY OF ISSUES TO. DISCUSS AND FRAMEWORK WE CAN. DEVELOP WITH THE CHINESE. LOTS OF CONTENTIOUS ISSUES, STEALING OUR INLELECTUAL. PROPERTY INCLUDING AI THAT ARE. OCCURRING BELOW THE SURFACE.

THERE ARE ISSUES WE CAN FOCUS ON. TO ACHIEVE COMMON GROUND, AI MAY. BE ONE OF THEM. >> Griff: WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE. FRAMEWORK, HIGH-STAKES MEETINGS. ARE SET IN STONE BEFORE THEY. HAPPEN, BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND XI MEET. YESTERDAY SECRETARY BESS SCOTT. BESSENT AND U.S. TRADE REP GRIER. WERE DISCUSSING IT. >> WE HAD A SUCCESSFUL.

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CHINESE ON. TRADE AND AI. THEY CREATED THE BOARD OF TRADE. AND BEGAN SUBJECT OF AI AND THIS. EVENING THOSE WERE. OPERATIONALIZED. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS HELPING. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PRESIDENT XI. CONTINUE THEIR RELATIONSHIP, TWO. OF THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRIES. ON EARTH, WHETHER TRADE OR AI, IT IS IMPERATIVE THEY ARE ABLE. TO WORK TOGETHER. >> Griff: ONIIA, DAN, YOU HAVE.

DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN SAYS AND. GOVERNORS TRYING TO GET STOPPAGE. ON THE PURSUIT OF AI AND TRYING. TO SLOW THINGS DOWN, HOW DOES. THAT FACTOR IN? >> IT IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE, I. THINK THE PRESIDENT WILL NEED TO. COME UP WITH FRAMEWORK INSIDE. OUR OWN GOVERNMENT HOW TO DEAL. WITH AI, VIRTUALLY EVERY CABINET. OFFICIAL HAS A STAKE IN OUR AI. POLICY, CERTAINLY OUR. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITIY WE NEED. TO DETECT THREAT FROM FOREIGN.

ADVERSARIES LIKE RUSSIA AND. CHINA, HOW THEY ARE USING AI. AGAINST US. DOJ, HHS, WE HAVE THE CYBER. SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE AGENCY, ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER WITH. AN APPROACH THAT ENSURES WE HAVE. UNITY OF MISSION INSIDE OUR OWN. GOVERNMENT. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROCEED. QUICKLY ON AI AND NOT SLOW. THINGS DOWN, THERE NEED TO BE. REASSURANCE TO CONGRESS WE'RE ON. TRACK FOR THAT.

>> Griff: LET'S TALK UKRAINE, THE PRESIDENT MEETING WITH. ZELENSKYY ON THE SIDELINE, THEY. HAD A PHONE CALL AHEAD OF THE. MEETING. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY IS GETTING. OUT ON X SAYING THIS, WE AGREED. TO MEET IN NEW YORK AND THIS. MEETING COULD CHANGE A LOT. THE PEACE TRACK IS OUR NUMBER. ONE PRIORITY, BUT YET WE SAW. UKRAINE STRIKING MOSCOW'S ENERGY. INFRASTRUCTURE SOMETHING. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ASKED.

VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY NOT TO DO. BECAUSE IT IS DRIVING DIESEL. PRICES UP HERE IN THE COUNTRY. WHICH THIS MORNING IS OVER. $6.50. >> Dan: WE SHOULD BE ASKING. RUSSIA TO STOP THEIR BARBARIC. WAR, UKRAINE IS DEFENDING. THEMSELVES IN EXISTENTIAL FIGHT, IF THEY ARE STRIKING RUSSIAN. INFRASTRUCTURES, IF UKRAINE DOES.

NOT DO THAT, THEY LOSE. I THINK THE QUESTION FOR. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE LINDSEY. GRAHAM SANCTION BILL, THE. PRESIDENT SIGNED IT, DO WE. IMPLEMENT IT? WE HAVE OFFERED RUSSIA TO COME. TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE AND. PUTIN REJECTED THAT AND WANT TO. INSTALL PUPPET REGIME IN KYIV. AND WANTS TO TARGET UKRAINE AND. CONTINUE BRUTAL INVASION OF THE. COUNTRY. I THINK DIPLOMACY HAS POTENTIAL.

HERE, THE COUNTRY WITH WHICH WE. SHOULD BE DISCUSSING THAT IS. RUSSIA AND PRESSURING RUSSIA. UKRAINE IS DEFENDING THEMSELVES. >> Griff: PUTIN WILL N.
