Good morning and welcome to way too early. This is Jonathan Lemire. We're watching live pictures of

President Joe Biden arriving at NATO headquarters in Brussels. The president and leaders of 29 other

member states are gathering for a high-stakes summit to present a united front against Russia's

Vladimir Putin and to try to deter him

from further escalating his unprovoked war in Ukraine. This comes exactly one month after the Russian

invasion. The president was greeted. We just saw the images there by NATO Secretary General

John Stoltenberg, just a short time ago.

They're speaking right there on your screen.

There were a family photo, and the meeting, this extraordinary meeting of NATO called just a

The press will be allowed to take photos at the top, and then the doors will close.

Leaders' words will be behind closed doors.

President Biden will deliver remarks, and Ukrainian President Voltaire Zelensky

will also make a virtual address.

This meeting of world leaders has been named the extraordinary NATO summit,

and it is indeed an extraordinary trip for this president.

By the end of today, he will have attended a trio of meetings, NATO, G7 and EU,

unprecedented summits as world leaders answer the call that this time demands.

to Russia. Do you keep Vladimir Putin guessing, or do you outline precisely what it would take

to draw NATO into this conflict? Joining us now live from Brussels is White House Bureau

Chief of the Washington Post and MSNBC political analyst Ashley Parker.
