Biden wants Congress to take action on gun reform

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his French, German, and British counterparts Friday for a wide-ranging conversation that "affirmed the centrality of the Transatlantic relationship in dealing with security, climate, economic, health, and other challenges the world faces," according to State Department spokesperson Ned Price.

The meeting, however, also focused on Iran, which Price warned earlier in the week requires "urgency" as it ramps up its nuclear program ahead of possible U.S.-Iran talks on restoring the Iran nuclear deal.

France, Germany, and the United Kingdom remain parties to the deal, which the Trump administration withdrew the U.S. from, reimposing sanctions.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan convened a meeting of Cabinet chiefs Friday morning, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, including Blinken, to discuss Iran. 

"The meeting today is part of an ongoing policy review. It is not decisional. There are no pending policy announcements," Psaki said in a tweet. Biden also did not mention Iran during his foreign policy address on Thursday.

While Price listed Iran as one of many issues, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab indicated it was a major topic, tweeting the four top diplomats "discussed how a united approach could address our shared concerns towards Iran."

Biden landed in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, Friday night after taking his first ride on Air Force One, calling it “a great honor” and a “pretty sweet ride” after seeing practice landings from New Castle Air National Guard Base in the past.

“It’s a great honor. But I didn't think about it to tell you the truth," Biden said.

“They've used this air -- to practice landing for the 747 take off of the president’s plane for a long time. So I’ve been watching. About 5 miles that way as you come off the air force, going north you pass over my house. Now I’m getting off that plane, which is really kind of strange.” 

Asked what his plans for the weekend were, Biden said, “to see my grandchildren and to hang out with Jill to get the rest of the stuff we have to move from our house to the other house.”

When asked in pre-recorded interview by "CBS Evening News" Anchor Norah O'Donnell if former President Donald Trump should receive any further intelligence briefings, Biden said “I think not,” adding that it’s because of Trump’s “erratic behavior unrelated to the insurrection.” 

Asked what his worst fear is if Trump continues to get these briefings, Biden wouldn’t speculate, simply saying there’s “no need for him to have” it.

“I'd rather not speculate out loud. I just think that there is no need for him to have that intelligence briefing. What value is giving him an intelligent briefing? What impact does he have at all? Other than the fact he might slip and say something.”

Trump’s own former deputy director of national intelligence, Sue Gordon, previously said that Trump shouldn’t have access to the briefings after he left office.

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the decision to revoke Trump’s access was “under review” and there was no determination yet.

In a clip of Biden’s pre-recorded interview with "CBS Evening News" Anchor Norah O’Donnell, President Joe Biden Friday night said that his plan for a $15 minimum-wage hike in his COVID-19 relief bill likely won’t happen.

“Well, apparently, that's not going to occur because of the rules of the United States Senate,” Biden said on the minimum-wage effort. 

“So you're saying the minimum wage won't be in this?” O'Donnell clarified. 

“My guess is it will not be in it. But I do think that we should have a minimum wage stand by itself $15 an hour, and work your way up to the 15-- it doesn't have to be “boom.” And all the economics show, if you do that the whole economy rises. I'm prepared, as president of the United States, on a separate negotiation on minimum wage, to work my way up from what it is now, which is-- look, no one should work 40 hours a week and live below the poverty wage. And if you're making less than $15 an hour, you're living below the poverty wage,” Biden said, suggesting an incremental shift to $15/hour. 

Biden also spoke about overall negotiations, saying he was “wide open” on how to target direct payments to those who need it most but seemed to commit to an upper boundary of $75,000 per person, $150,000 a couple. 

“But here's the deal: Middle-class folks need help. But you don't need to get any help to someone making 300,000 bucks or 250. So it's somewhere between an individual making up to 75 and phasing out, and a couple making up to 150 and phasing out. But, again, I'm wide open on what that is.”
