SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY): ติดต่อ slotxo Once you get into this tax increase area, you're going to create an enormous amount of controversy. I don't know whether we are going to reach an agreement or not.

STEPHANOPOULOS: A wave of cyberattacks target our daily life.

ANNOUNCE: From ABC News, it's "This Week."

Here now, George Stephanopoulos.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Good morning, and welcome to "This Week."

As we head toward summer, President Biden is preparing his first overseas trip, heading to Europe for the G7, a visit with the queen, and his first summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where that spate of cyberattacks targeting our daily life will be at the top of the agenda.

Here at home, Biden hasn't given up hope for a bipartisan deal on infrastructure, but he's facing pressure from progressives to go it alone, as Republican votes prove elusive.
