What to expect from Russian military exercises in Caribbean

A POSSIBLE FIND THE MARKET IS NOT SLOWING DOWN. BUT THEN ON THE FLIPSIDE ON EMPLOYMENT RATE ACTUALLY INCREASED JUST A BIT TO 4%. >>> RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS PREPARING TO HOLD MILITARY EXERCISES IN THE CARIBBEAN. RUSSIAN WARSHIPS BEGIN TO ARRIVE NEAR CUBA NEXT WEEK. WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN JOHN KIRBY ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT MOSCOW COULD USE NUCLEAR POWER AS PART OF THE SHORTER SHOW OF FORCE. >>> I WOULD SAY WE HAVE NO INDICATION AND NO EXPECTATION THAT NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE IN PLAY HERE IN THESE EXERCISES. CLEARLY THIS IS THEM SIGNALING THEIR DISPLEASURE ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR UKRAINE. WE ARE GOING TO WATCH IT. WE ARE GOING TO MONITOR. >> NATIONAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTOR SAM JOINED US FOR OUR WEEKLY NATIONAL SECURITY WRAP UP. SAM I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT RUSSIA CONDUCTED THESE EXERCISES OR THAT MOSCOW RATHER ORDERED THESE EXERCISES BACK IN 2019. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FROM THESE EXERCISES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE NOW? >> Reporter: MANY ANALYSTS AGREED THIS IS VLADIMIR PUTIN FLEXING HIS MUSCLES. LAST WEEK WE LEARNED THE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD AGREED TO LET UKRAINE USE U.S. MANUFACTURED WEAPONS ON THE RUSSIAN SIDE OF THEIR SHARED BORDER. THIS WEEK THE WHITE HOUSE ALERTED INDIVIDUALS THAT RUSSIA IS PLANNING TO CONDUCT MILITARY EXERCISES IN THE CARIBBEAN WHICH THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. THE EXERCISES ARE ANTICIPATED TO INCLUDE BOTH NAVAL MARITIME SHIPS AS WELL AS AIRCRAFT. AND ABOUT FOUR SHIPS WILL BE MAKING PORT CALLS IN CUBA IN JUNE AND POTENTIALLY IN VENEZUELA AS WELL. THE WHITE HOUSE IS SERIOUSLY DOWNPLAYING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE EXERCISES. THERE POINTING TO THE FACT THEY'VE HAPPENED BEFORE. INDICATING THEY DO NOT POSE ANY DIRECT THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. AS YOU SUPPORT FOR THE WAR IN UKRAINE CONTINUES WE SHOULD EXPECT VLADIMIR PUTIN TO CONTINUE TO FLEX HIS MUSCLES ON THE WORLD STAGE AND TO ENGAGE IN FURTHER SHOWS OF FORCE. >> LET'S TURN TO OUR BORDER. TALK ABOUT THE NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER THE BIDEN ADMONITION SIGNED THIS WEEK. THE CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT FACE. >> Reporter: AFTER MONTHS OF CONGRESSIONAL INACTION PRESIDENT BIDEN THIS WEEK SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WENT INTO EFFECT AT 12:01 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY. THE ORDER RESTRICTS ASYLUM CLAIM PROCESSING AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY. MORE SPECIFICALLY IT MAKES THE LARGE MAJORITY OF INDIVIDUALS ENCOUNTERED BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY AND ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM ASYLUM. IT WILL NO LONGER BE IN EFFECT IF ENCOUNTERS OF INDIVIDUALS BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY ON OUR SOUTHERN BORDER WILL BELOW 2500 A DAY OVER A SEVEN-DAY PERIOD. AND WOULD SNAP BACK IF ENCOUNTERS GO ABOVE 1500 A DAY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT FOR EXAMPLE IN THE MONTH OF MAY THE DAILY AVERAGE OF ENCOUNTERS WAS 3800. SO REACHING THE 2500 TRIGGER POINT IS PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. THERE IS A CHALLENGE THERE. FURTHER IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ENCOUNTERED BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER CANNOT BE RETURNED TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES. THE MINISTRATION DISC DID CONDUCT 17 FLIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE TO RETURN AND REMOVE THEM HOME. A CHINESE NATIONAL WHO HAS ENCOUNTERED BETWEEN A PORT OF ENTRY WITH THE EXECUTIVE ORDER IN EFFECT CANNOT BE PROCESS FOR ASYLUM BUT THEY ALSO CANNOT BE RETURNED TO CHINA BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO DO SO WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. SO THEY WILL BE TAKEN INTO U.S. CUSTODY. WERE SOME OTHER ALTERNATIVE DETENTION WOULD BE EXPLORED. >>> ANOTHER BIG HEADLINE FRENCH POLICE ARRESTING A MAN AFTER AN EXPLOSION IN PARIS THIS WEEK. WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW? >> Reporter: OVERALL WE ARE IN A VERY HEIGHTENED THREAT ENVIRONMENT FROM A TERRORISM PERSPECTIVE. THE STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUED A WORLDWIDE THREAT ADVISORY LAST MONTH. WARNING U.S. CITIZENS ABOUT TRAVEL OVERSEAS. THIS WAS REPORTEDLY BASED ON INTELLIGENCE ABOUT AN ISIS PLOT AGAINST PRIDE EVENTS IN EUROPE AND THE HOMELAND U.S. AUTHORITIES STATED THEY WARNINGS ABOUT ISIS AND OTHER FOREIGN TERRORISM INSPIRED ATTACKS WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS. THIS WEEK WE UNDERSTAND FRENCH AUTHORITIES ARRESTED A 26-YEAR- OLD RUSSIAN UKRAINIAN WHO INJURED HIMSELF WHILE BUILDING EXPLOSIVE DEVICES IN A HOTEL NEAR THE AIRPORT. THIS OF COURSE COMES AS FRANCE IS DEALING WITH SEVERAL HIGH- PROFILE EVENTS THIS SUMMER. BOTH D-DAY COMMEMORATIONS AND THE BIDEN VISIT AS WELL AS THE UPCOMING OLYMPICS. HIGH-PROFILE EVENTS ARE TYPICALLY TARGETS FOR ALIGNED ACTORS WHO WANT TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE WORLD STAGE. WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN 18- YEAR-OLD ARRESTED A FEW WEEKS AGO WHO ALLEGEDLY WAS PLOTTING A SUICIDE MISSION AGAINST THE OLYMPICS. WE SHOULD EXPECT FRENCH AUTHORITIES WITH THEIR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS INCLUDING THE U.S. TO BE ENGAGING IN VERY SERIOUS BROAD AND DEEP INTELLIGENCE SHARING AND INTELLIGENCE GATHERING AND ANALYSIS.
