MS. PSAKI: Well, what the President was referring to, and what Dr. Fauci and others have referred to, is our awareness that a vaccine is not the same as a vaccination. President Trump had threatened retaliatory tariffs, for instance, on France. They’re — he said a number of times that, of course, the Senate will make the decision; the jurors in the Senate will make the decision. But I can assure you he will be speaking with the Prime Minister soon, and he’s looking forward to doing that. I certainly understand your interest, but we don’t have any more specifics at this point in time. But we certainly believe they will be an important step to moving the process forward. You’ll all know more about that, as will we, later this afternoon. They certainly saw some — some powerful footage. ', The video was deleted from Chinese social media soon after being uploaded but copies were made which have since been circulating including YouTube, However, Di noted that things are about to change once again thanks once the incoming Biden administration is in charge.Â, Once Biden is in the White House, Di believes that China will once again be able to renew its long-held connections.Â, 'Now with Biden winning the election, the traditional elites, political elites, the establishment, they have a very close relationship with the Wall Street,' he said.Â, 'You all heard that Trump said Biden's son has securities companies all over the world. They’ve known each other for some time. And also for you, Mayor Suarez, you mentioned that the vaccine needs to be widely accepted, which is different from a supply problem. Thanks so much. Huge numbers of jobs in the fintech industry, with Quicken. Q One: Yesterday, President Biden was confirming that they have actually signed the contracts for those additional doses of vaccine. Detroiters did what we were supposed to do. This campaign — out of HHS, I should say. Q Yes, in the world. Here is a map showing Miami, Wea, and Piankashaw Indian migrations. Q Mayor, I was hoping you could answer — the criticism we’ve heard from Republicans of late has been that states and cities have received several rounds of funding so far that they haven’t spent, so why do they need billions more from the taxpayers now. The alleged operative also fundraised for Tulsi Gabbard, as well as had a romantic or sexual relationship with at least two US mayors from the Midwest. The agency created a unit dedicated to countering Beijing's operations at state and local levels in May 2019. Â, Trump tweets video of Chinese professor claiming that Beijing can swing US policy because it has 'people at the top of America's core inner circle of power' in clip that has been deleted from social media in China     Â. But I don’t think I can give you a — or I don’t think it would be responsible to give you a sweeping point on that particular question. We fought back. But, you know, you have — you have a racial equity issue in this country. But we are also going to be guided by science. Remember that we have, though, enough of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine to vaccinate every American by the summer. He spoke about his commitment, as it relates to Afghanistan, on the campaign trail. And one more question. That's why we called the mayor of Ithaca, N.Y., Svante Myrick. They first discovered Fang while reportedly surveilling a different person. Q Couple questions on ambassadorships. Have a —. The Senate trial has been, you know, the bulk of all of our coverage this last week. Q How about — how about a timeline when we might begin to see some of those names come forward? Does he want to bring back the troops? There’s also a parliamentary process that has to consider whether the minimum wage can be a part of the bill. It was a wonderfully productive meeting in the Oval Office. Q And when you talk — other topic — when you talk — and it’s a bit of follow-up about global posture review led by Secretary Austin so that the military footprint will be aligned with the foreign policy. But there are updates provided, of course, by members of the health team, including the CDC, on the status of their work and the issues they’re looking into and how they’re planning to address a range of the challenges, as it relates to the pandemic and — and COVID-19. I’ll defer to Treasury to read that out, but it’s certainly an appropriate forum to have a range of these discussions. MS. PSAKI: I don’t have a predicted timeline. Schmidt joined a group of reform-minded Republicans and … That was a promise back in 2008, 2009 of the Obama-Biden administration, and it was never fulfilled. And Canada is struggling to procure a vaccine because they have no domestic capacity; the U.S. does. But as I conveyed yesterday, reports that there is an intention to put in place new requirements, such as testing, are not accurate. Q To follow up on that: You know, one big complaint we heard a lot from states and local jurisdictions under the Trump administration was that there was a lack of coordination, a lack of communication. Finally, in our venture to get you all a “week ahead” as detailed as possible, next week, the President will continue his engagement with both parties and with people across the country about the need to pass the American Rescue Plan and get relief to working families and more vaccines into arms faster. But he has been very clear — and he would have been this morning too, but that wasn’t a part of the conversation — that his role is to be President. (Laughter.) Q And I have a border wall question that a colleague sent in. There’s about, I believe, $500 million outstanding now that have been committed to construction companies and the like but has not actually been spent. So what would be your response to that? He wants to work, obviously, through an interagency process here, with key members of his economic team, but also through consultation with global partners around the world. (No translation provided.). Q Thank you, Jen. MS. PSAKI: It is not an intentional diss. MS. PSAKI: You know, I don’t have any calls to predict for you or read out. For example, does the administration still consider the Saudis and the Israelis important allies? And with that, I guess we’ll turn it over to you for questions. In fact, a scroll through Fang's Facebook page reportedly showed she was friends with Swalwell's father and brother. The comments below have been moderated in advance. I’ll see if there’s more we can get from our national security team on planned future calls, which I know there’s a great deal of interest in. MS. PSAKI: Are you referring to in Afghanistan, or where? Does he want to —. They are tho- — they are theirs to determine and to release. Are we going to get our folks back to work in a matter of months, or is it going to take years? During this pandemic and over — and after four years of attacks on the ACA, this enrollment period is more important than ever. MAYOR DUGGAN: So I — you know, I’m going to defer to the President’s political judgment on that, whether it’s part of the America Rescue Plan that it gets adopted or whether it’s separate legislation. It was going the right direction; we certainly had a long way to go to make sure it included everybody. MAYOR SUAREZ: Don’t worry, every single one of those years were dog years. They are the ones who will vote. And the most interesting thing was: If I thought it was unique, what Mayor Suarez and I heard is every governor and every mayor is talking about exactly the same situation; that it took us seven years to get from 20 percent unemployment to 7 percent. Q Just to follow up on another issue — I have two more questions actually, if that’s okay. Washington, DC 20500. The mayors of Atlanta, Detroit, Miami and Arlington, Texas, also were at the meeting. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline. MS. PSAKI: Well, it was, of course, in the President’s original proposed package because he is committed to and believes it’s important to raise the minimum wage. The President believes that the largest corporations should pay their fair share in taxes. I have a few questions for you. As you know, Speaker Pelosi has been clear it will be in the House bill. MS. PSAKI: Well, again, I think what I was — that’s why I was referring to it as a multi- — as a kind of global problem. Can you make a comment or give a response on China’s banning of the BBC World? And, you know, that was — that was what we felt was appropriate at the time. MS. PSAKI: Well — (laughs) — “heal a divided nation, et cetera, et cetera.” The — I’m not making fun of you. Axios noted that the investigation provided another look into Beijing's efforts to influence US political groups. But certainly, we’re going to put the money to good use, and I think we’ve demonstrated that with the — with the funding that we did receive under the first CARES Act. And I guess what I’m offering you is an opportunity to say there’s been absolutely no discussion, it’s totally independent, and these guidelines were organic within the CDC. So we’d certainly encourage people to follow federal guidelines. And I’m wondering if this is something that the administration is attempting to claw back — something that is possible to claw back without spending on further border construction. The evidence is that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine are effective against it, and we’ve used it to encourage folks. You know, the President yesterday talked about the importance of having clear, open, transparent communications with the public. And the President will, of course, task him with looking for ways to work with our health experts in the CDC to open schools safely, as quickly as possible. Governor Cuomo is in hot water at home for withholding information, statistics about nursing home fatalities related to the COVID pandemic. Q What would that mean, though, if other countries seek to impose these levies that would affect American companies? Later in the week, the President will convene meetings at the White House about the critical need to pass the American Rescue Plan to support workers and struggling communities. I think what’s interesting is as the vaccine has taken hold more and more, and we start to see some of the cases start to drop, I think people are starting to realize that it works and that there’s a correlation between getting — vaccinating and potentially getting back to some sense of normalcy. Because this was a big question in the previous administration, whether or not the CDC was just doing the White House’s bidding. He’s no longer in the Senate. Has the President had any direct outreach to governors — Governor Gianforte there — but others about mask wearing and mask mandates? MS. PSAKI: You’d have to — I’d send you to the Department of Homeland Security for that specific question, who oversees those Border Patrol agents. And really appreciate it. And hopefully you’ll get a question if that’s the one you want to ask. Beginning on February 19th, the Department of Homeland Security will take steps to begin processing individuals who, under the previous administration, had been forced to remain in Mexico under the Migrant Protection Protocol. Fang reportedly interacted with Swalwell at several events, helped fundraise for his re-election campaign and helped put at least one intern into his office. So I know, previously, the administration wanted to give those figures out to states so they could plan ahead. The folks in Detroit did what we were supposed to do. We quickly set up one of the largest testing centers in the country. We believe, as I said earlier, that it’s important and makes the country safer, the world safer to — for more people across the world to be vaccinated. Q Can you give us further details about the conversation that National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan had with his Israeli counterpart, I believe to discuss Iran, yesterday? The White House MS. PSAKI: That is certainly our objective. I’m happy to talk to Jake and see if there’s more we can read out for all of you. — I guess is the other way of asking that question. MS. PSAKI: I don’t have more of a readout of the — of the engagement with the airline CEOs, so I’m not sure we’re going to have one from here. But we did not, in Detroit, curl up. So we will continue to be in a position where we’re giving states a heads up of a couple of weeks on our — to — or in order for them to better plan. It was an incredibly spirited conversation. Q Thank you, Jen. Q Can both of you weigh in on whether or not you believe the $15 minimum wage should be included in this relief bill? Not as — not much, because we keep him busy, but that’s what he was conveying. I mean, this is —. MS. PSAKI: Well, you know, again, I think we — there are ongoing processes and internal interagency processes — one that we, I think, confirmed an interagency meeting just last week — to discuss a range of issues in the Middle East. And we are three weeks in. And so instead of the city getting approximately $80 million, which we would have received and is, sort of, correspondent to our population, we ended up getting $15 million. It’s not just a problem here in the United States of us just adjusting our own policy. MS. PSAKI: Look, I think the President looks at our engagement in the world through each circumstance, and certainly there are troops serving around the world in different capacities. A deputy of yours has been suspended for a week without pay for comments he made to a female reporter, bullying her after she reached out for requests for comment on a story. Q Jen, I wanted to follow on your statement about what Zeke — sorry. We’ve obviously rejoined the World Health Organization. And they are worried that, as the landlord-tenant courts open up, they may be facing eviction and have no place else to go. MS. PSAKI: To get involved in a Middle East peace process, perhaps? Like, the previous administration kept insisting — President Trump kept insisting on, “I want to bring back the troops.” Does President Biden want to do the same? When can we expect to hear from the President about his strategy towards Iran, beyond just asking for compliance? Q Okay, separate issue: Is any update on whether the President has called or plans to call Prime Minister Netanyahu? France tried to apply a tax. That is true. History of local nonpartisanship: A look at the history and debate surrounding local nonpartisan elections. Their relationship began when Swalwell was a councilmember for Dublin City, California, and their earliest known interaction was facilitated through the Chinese Student Association. Â, Swalwell would later become a Congressman in 2012.Â, Fang portrayed herself 'to be the connector between the Asian American community and members of Congress. Â, A source told Axios that Fang served as a 'bundler' during Swalwell's 2014 Congress re-election campaign on his behalf, meaning she convinced others to donate to his campaign operations.Â, It's an ideal position for an intelligence operative to hold, considering it could strengthen their ties to the campaigning official.Â, During this time, Fang reportedly facilitated potential intern assignments for Swawell's offices, including one placed in Washington D.C. Â. But that doesn’t mean every American will actually have gotten it by then. So, on Monday, as a part of the President’s commitment to expanding healthcare to all Americans, the ACA Special Enrollment Period begins and runs through May 15th. Please enable JavaScript to use this feature. So is there any path forward on raising the minimum wage? So what is your goal for high schools to reopen in the next 100 days? That’s when — why, when he was running for office, he called for a strong minimum tax. These are all excellent questions. We’re certainly hoping before the end of February it picks up. But the biggest thing that we focused on is the need to pass America’s Rescue Plan. Q Well, that was one question, one short answer. See world news photos and videos at ABCNews.com So it’s halted now. MAYOR DUGGAN: Good afternoon. So that message is certainly resonating. To protect information that might be classified, he will not participate in your story.'. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. I’m sure that’s a question that might come up, but we’ll see. Does the administration have a position on this? 'Â, 'During the U.S.-China trade war, they tried to help,' Mr. Di said. Q And so if you’re a citizen of Montana right now and your governor says you don’t need to wear a mask, the President says, “Wear a mask,” what should they do? But he didn’t talk much about his strategy, and time is running out for nuclear diplomacy. Q So there’s — so there’s been no, sort of, consultation? The video, which had originally been posted on Weibo but has since been removed from Chinese social media according to Fox News, depicts Di Dongsheng, a professor and associate dean of the School of International Studies at Renmin University in Beijing. And still on the issue of the Middle East, I mean, I know that you’re saying that, you know, things are still under review, including policies like the Abraham Accords, but can you please just give us a broad sense of what the administration is trying to achieve in the Middle East? Sure, there are times when there are subpopulations in particular areas where acceptance of the vaccine is an issue, and we try to message that. I will note this news should not be interpreted as an opening for people to migrate regularly to the United States; only eligible individuals will be allowed to enter through designated ports of entry at designated times. I don’t like the visibility I have. Next Post: Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting With Bipartisan Group of Governors and Mayors to Discuss the Vital Need to Pass the American, Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting With Bipartisan Group of Governors and Mayors to Discuss the Vital Need to Pass the American, https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/02/12/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-detroit-mayor-mike-duggan-and-miami-mayor-francis-suarez-february-12-2021/. Q So what is that timeline for when all 300 million of those doses will actually have been administered? He is looking forward to speaking with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I think there’s a briefing from the CDC a little bit later this afternoon. Right? MS. PSAKI: Well, I think the President has been clear publicly and certainly privately when — if the conversation comes up, that his focus now is on ensuring that the American people are vaccinated. MAYOR SUAREZ: Well, let me answer the first question, which is, I’ve spoken to the President and the Vice President more times in the short time that they have been in office, and previous — prior to them being in office, than I had spoken to the prior administration in the entirety. When do we think that that’ll be available for teachers and students? TJ Ducklo, who is the deputy who you’re asking about, has apologized to the reporter — apologized to the reporter quite shortly after the comments were made. Q Can I ask about COVID-19 and the border? MS. PSAKI: Oh, go — did you want to say one more? And as usual, I will be the bad cop when they need to go. Q Could you talk to us about the variants in Florida, and specifically in Miami? They’re CDC guidelines. But if you haven’t been to Detroit in the last seven years, there has been enormous progress. Obviously, we have a long and important relationship with Israel, and the President has known him and has been working on a range of issues that there’s a mutual commitment to for some time. A bit of a thorny issue came up. It is 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of the U.S.-Mexico border and about … But again, the CDC guidelines are going to be the guide through which we work with our policy teams, led by the Department of Education and our health experts, to reopen schools. I’m not sure there’s a lot to add at this moment in time. MAYOR DUGGAN: I certainly support it. And I’m wondering whether President Biden has faced any pushback from world leaders about essentially hogging the global supply. Q Just to follow up on your statement to Zeke, I just want to make sure I understand. But, you know, you’re right in ensuring that the American people know that wearing masks, even when you’re vaccinated — right? He has not been accused of any wrongdoing.Â, Rep. Eric Swalwell (pictured) and his office stopped communications with Fang after a defense briefingÂ,  His office provided a statement to Axios: 'Rep. Q — to Americans. So thank you for joining us. But, you know, he means that the Senate should take the responsibility seriously in how they view and pay attention to the trial this week. I’m Mike Duggan. So that’s — I think that’s — to me, it’s an intentional desire on their part to really plug in with mayors. There hasn’t been a final policy decision to actually ship the masks, but those are some of the pieces that are being discussed. (Laughter.). As I said, since we were under 500,000 — by the way, almost all cities were under 500,000. Q Is widespread testing available for Customs and Border Patrol agents? Right? That’s something, of course, he talked about on the campaign trail. With that, I’m going to turn it over to you. And the city had hoped to strike a balance between welcoming tourists and keeping people safe. We’ve long said that. And then when COVID hit, we’re back up to 20 percent unemployment.
