Sen. Mark Kelly says government shutdown could end this week if GOP negotiates

Published | Video Starts at 05:47

Yeah, so I spoke to Zelensky three weeks ago in New York right after his meeting with Donald Trump and we talked about Tomahawks in that meeting. Much longer range, over 1,000 miles, 700 pound warhead, really good game changing. The president said he would consider giving them [Ukraine] this weapon system. And then he had a conversation with Vladimir Putin...those weapons are now off the table. Putin. And I think it's important for people to recognize Vladimir Putin is a former KGB officer. He is a master manipulator. The president has one view. (05:47–05:56)
