Today on Velshi, America is back on the world stage, and incidentally, we are back on our stage, or our studios, if you will, this morning.

We're tracking Joe Biden's historic first foreign trip, and though America may be back at the world's tables,

the question is, how much standing have we lost after four years of Donald Trump?

Plus, the very latest in the unspooling scandal

who refused Donald Trump's demands to overturn the results in his state.

Then a preview of an NBC news exclusive.

Our own Kier Simmons sat down with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin,

meetings focusing on matters of global importance.

Tomorrow's highlight features an audience with Queen Elizabeth.

Then Biden travels to Brussels for a NATO summit.

The trip concludes next week in Geneva, where Biden meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
