President Trump. | |
| President Trump doesn't agree to peace in Hungary. | ||
| Was he what? | ||
| Where are you from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
From Ukraine. | |
| Okay, good. | ||
| Good, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What if at least President Trump President Putin doesn't agree to peace in Hungary? | |
| What is it then? | ||
| Do you have a well? | ||
| Let's see what happens. | ||
| I mean, you know, what if I think he will. | ||
| I think that President Putin wants to end the war. | ||
| Or I wouldn't be talking this way. | ||
| I think he wants to end the war. | ||
| I spoke to him yesterday for two and a half hours. | ||
| We went through a lot of details. | ||
| He wants to get it ended. | ||
| I think that President Zelensky wants to get it ended. | ||
| Now we have to get it done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
President Trump from Kara Castanova from Lindzel TV. | |
| And although I love asking you questions today, my question is for President Zelensky from Ukraine. | ||
| Go ahead, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Our president, President Zelensky, President Trump just broke it a peace deal in the Middle East that all Americans, both sides of the aisle are very proud of. | ||
| But to meet that deal, both sides had to make concessions. | ||
| Our president has stuck out his neck in many ways to make a peace deal for your war as well. | ||
| What specific concessions are you willing to make on this war with Russia? | ||
| Will you give up joining NATO? | ||
| Americans have foreign war fatigue, and our presidents, as he said, we need our tomahawks too. | ||
| To me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, you President Zelensky. | |
| Thank you very much. | ||
| That's some question. | ||
| So many questions. | ||
| Thanks in one. | ||
| Thank you very much for your question. | ||
| First of all, I think we need to sit and speak. | ||
| The second point, we need ceasefire. | ||
| Even now, you see, in the Middle East, it's very difficult to hold cis file. | ||
| Everywhere in every war, it's very difficult. | ||
| We want peace. | ||
| Putin doesn't want. | ||
| That's why we need pressure on him. | ||
| We will speak with President today what we need. | ||
| We understand what we need to push Putin to negotiation table. | ||
| And as I said previously, so we are ready to speak in any kind of format, bilateral, trilateral, doesn't matter. | ||
| Matter, just peace. | ||
| This is important. | ||
| And we don't speak about NATO or NATO. | ||
| For Ukrainians, it's very important. | ||
| Of course, uh, it's our decision, decisions of allies to decide where we are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But are you willing to give it to the other thing? | |
| Yes, but the most important thing, the most important thing for people in Ukraine, which are under each day's attacks, to have really strong security guarantees. | ||
| Allies on our side is very important. | ||
| And between us, for us, bilateral security guarantees between me and President Trump is very important. | ||
| I'm I don't know. | ||
| We we didn't speak with details about it, but this is the most important document because the United States is very strong. | ||
| Sir President, President Trump, President Trump, you are the middleman right now, hoping to end this conflict. | ||
| Who is doing a better job negotiating? | ||
| President Zelensky or President Putin? | ||
| I think they're both doing a great job in that sense. | ||
| Uh we have to get it done. | ||
| It's we've got to take some of the hatred of each other. | ||
| You know, they they don't like each other. | ||
| I say that in front of President Zelensky, but I say it in front of President Putin too. | ||
| They have tremendous bad blood. | ||
| It's it's really is what is holding up, I think a settlement. | ||
| I think we're gonna get it done, and we have to make it long lasting, as I said, in the Middle East, everlasting, right? | ||
| Everlasting. | ||
| And the Middle East is a much more complicated situation. | ||
| You know, we had 59 countries involved, and every one of them agreed, and it's you know, is sort of amazing. | ||
| Most people didn't think that was doable. | ||
| Uh this is gonna be something I really believe that's gonna get done. | ||
| I had a very good talk yesterday with President Putin. | ||
| I think he wants to get it done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And President Trump is right behind you. | |
| Um we were in Israel with President Trump earlier in the week. | ||
| We heard a lot about the difference in diplomacy between President Trump and President Joe Biden before him. | ||
| What do you see as the biggest difference in diplomacy between President Trump and President Biden. | ||
| President Trump has a big chance now to finish this war. | ||
| President Biden now is not the president, so he doesn't have a chance to finish this war. | ||
| And President Trump is really showed for the war that he can manage ceasefire in Middle East. | ||
| And that's why I hope that he will do this, and we will also have such big success. | ||
| For Ukraine, it's a big chance. | ||
| And I hope that President Trump can manage it. | ||
| I would say the biggest difference is one is extremely competent, and the other one is grossly incompetent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
A few weeks ago in New York when you two met, um you said that you think Ukraine could ultimately take back all the territory that it's lost so far. | |
| Do you still think that's the case, or do you think they'll have to be some sort of you know war is very interesting, you never know, do you? | ||
| You just never know with war. | ||
| War and peace, but you never know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Please Russia calls Tomahawk supply to Ukraine as an escalation. | |
| Yeah, it continues using similar cruise missiles like uh caliber and who are you with? | ||
| Who are you with? | ||
| Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But Russia uh continue even using the cruise uh cruise missiles and also nuclear capable ballistic results in Ukraine since 2022. | |
| Uh so do you consider providing Ukraine with the Tomahawk or similar missiles as an opportunity to equalize the possibilities of Ukraine and Russia and push most popular negotiations? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| We're gonna be talking about that. | ||
| That's why we're here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Fair question, exactly as he told you to say it, but we're gonna be talking about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| Yeah, please. | ||
| You said India and Hungary? | ||
| That's an interesting war and Hungary. | ||
| India and Hungary. | ||
| It's an interesting combination. | ||
| Well, India uh is not going to be buying Russian oil anymore. | ||
| And Hungary is sort of stuck because they have one pipeline, it's been there for years and years and years, and they're inland, they don't have sea, they don't have sea. | ||
| And I spoke with uh the very great leader of Hungary, and they are you know it's very hard for them to get oil. | ||
| I understand it. | ||
| Uh we have Hungary's in a very interesting position because they can't have ports, you know, they're surrounded by land. | ||
| So we'll see what happens there. | ||
| But India will not be buying oil from Russia. | ||
| And uh they've already de-escalated, and they've more or less stopped. | ||
| They're pulling back. | ||
| They bought about 38% of the oil, and they won't be doing it anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who has First Lady Melania Trump and helping in returning uh doctor the Ukrainian children from Russian captivity? | |
| Uh President Zelensky, do you appreciate those efforts? | ||
| How do you assess them? | ||
| And did you ask her to step in and to help you? | ||
| No, she wanted to do it. | ||
| She's just very strongly about the children. | ||
| And uh she's uh done a really good job, I think, in bringing it to the fore. | ||
| You know, we have a lot of children involved. | ||
| Now it's uh some people say it's 20,000, and some people say it's three hundred. | ||
| There's a big difference between that, so nobody really knows. | ||
| But but uh she felt very strongly about the children. | ||
| She thinks about the children all the time. | ||
| President Trump, if you if you okay tomahawks to Ukraine, what's gonna happen if the United States is in a conflict and we need the Tomahawks? | ||
| Do we have a lot of people? | ||
| Well, that's that's a problem. | ||
| Uh we need Tomahawks, and we need a lot of other things that we've been sending over the last four years to Ukraine. | ||
| We've been, you know, we gave we gave them a lot. | ||
| Now we have a different situation. | ||
| We send it to the European Union, they pay for it and all that, but and they have plenty of money. | ||
| But uh we it's beyond the money, you know. | ||
| We need tomahawks, or we need a lot of other weapons that we're sending to Ukraine. | ||
| One of the reasons we want to get this war over is exactly that. | ||
| Uh it's not easy for us to give. | ||
| You're talking about massive numbers of Very powerful weapons. | ||
| So that's one of the things we'll be talking about. | ||
| Hopefully they won't need it. | ||
| Hopefully we'll be able to get the war over without thinking about tomahawks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think we're fairly close to that. | |
| President, yeah, please. | ||
| Just you to understand. | ||
| So for today, uh of course we want to finish this war. | ||
| But the the war is another technological war. | ||
| You don't use just tomahawks. | ||
| If you want to and targeting military wall, you need thousands of drones. | ||
| It goes together with such missiles. | ||
| Ukraine has such thousands of our production drones, but we don't have tomahawks. | ||
| That's why we need tomahawks. | ||
| But the United States is a very strong production. | ||
| And the United States has Tomahawks and other missas, very strong missiles. | ||
| But they can have our thousands of drones. | ||
| That's why where we can work together, where we can strengthen American production. | ||
| And so just so that I understand, so you're suggesting kind of a trade. | ||
| If President Trump bouquets Tomahawk missiles to help you launch the case, yes, it's about military goals. | ||
| Then it's only about military goals. | ||
| Right, but then you would authorize some kind of an exchange with the case. | ||
| Yes, of course. | ||
| Yes, we have proposition. | ||
| We have big proposition with our drones. | ||
| President Trump, I don't mean to be brokering an arms deal here, but is that something that you would be interested in, Ukrainian drones? | ||
| We are, yeah. | ||
| We would. | ||
| We have a lot of drones right now. | ||
| We build our own drones, but we also uh buy drones from others. | ||
| And they make a very good drone. | ||
| I mean, we drone warfare has really come to the fore over the last couple of years because of this war. | ||
| Uh I will say, there's nothing like the jets. | ||
| You know, we knocked out a lot of drones in Israel. | ||
| We were knocking them out for Israel, and we were doing it with extremely fast and powerful jets, following the drones and knocking the hell out of them. | ||
| So it's you know, we've we've we know a lot about the drones, and we know a lot about the great jets, the great ones. | ||
| Uh the ones, well, and the B-52s, which were totally under stealth, they were undetectable. | ||
| So we have a lot of different weapons. | ||
| And you know, we I have an obligation also though to make sure that we're completely stocked up as a country, because you never know what's gonna happen. | ||
| In war and peace, right? | ||
| You never know what's gonna happen. | ||
| Uh so we're gonna be talking about tomahawks, and uh we'd much rather have them not need tomahawks, would much rather have the war be over, to be honest, because you know, we're in it to get the war over. | ||
| We're not we're selling a lot of uh different types of uh weapon, as you know, to the European Union. | ||
| We're not in it for that. | ||
| We're in it to get it over. | ||
| We're losing thousands of people a week, thousands of people. | ||
| Russian, Ukrainian, and mostly soldiers. | ||
| I mean, mostly soldiers. | ||
| Uh but uh we're in it to see that end. | ||
| And if we can end quickly, and I think we can. | ||
| I mean, I had a very good talk yesterday. | ||
| We're gonna be talking about it, but I had a very productive talk yesterday with President Putin. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| But uh the war in the Middle East was far more complicated. | ||
| We got that one done, and I think we have a good chance. | ||
| I think President Zelensky wants it done, and I think President Putin won it done. | ||
| Now all they have to do is get along a little bit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you give us an update on the trade negotiations with China or perhaps at the very best? | |
| Yeah, I will. | ||
| And and I'm gonna let uh let Scott do that. | ||
| But uh I think we're doing very well. | ||
| I think we're getting along with China. | ||
| Uh China's would like to have something as of this moment. | ||
| We'll be meeting in a couple of weeks. | ||
| We'll be meeting in South Korea. | ||
| You think myself. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| It looks like it's going forward. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| They want to meet. | ||
| Uh we like to meet. | ||
| I have a very good relationship with uh President Xi, and we're gonna see what happens. | ||
| But you know, for years we were uh taken advantage of by China very badly. | ||
| We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year to China. | ||
| We we really built their military, if you think about it. | ||
| The kind of money that presidents allowed to be lost to China was just insane. | ||
| And then when I came into office, as you know, I put very severe tariffs, so we took in hundreds of billions of dollars in my first term from China. | ||
| Biden let that go because it was so much he he let it continue, but he gave all sorts of exceptions. | ||
| And by the time you looked at it, Scott, I would say there wasn't it wasn't the same thing. | ||
| He was he would give an exception for anything. | ||
| If you got up and went out to dinner, he'd give you an exception. | ||
| So it wasn't the same thing. | ||
| But uh I put on very serious tariffs, so we took in hundreds of billions of dollars, and then we I left office, the election was rigged, I left office, and that was the story. | ||
| Now I come back, and uh we are in a very strong position because of tariffs. | ||
| We're in a very powerful position because of the fact that we have tariffs. | ||
| If we didn't have tariffs, we would be in a very weak position. | ||
| We would be in a weakened state. | ||
| But with tariffs, we've made hundreds of billions of dollars, not only from China, but from others. | ||
| And China wants to talk, and we like talking to China. | ||
| So we have a very good relationship, and we're gonna be meeting in South Korea a couple of weeks. | ||
| And I just got back from a long trip. | ||
| I'm going on another long trip. | ||
| And uh Scott, do you want to say a few words on that, please? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| So the entire relationship from the way perspective the two leaders have for each other. | ||
| China did a substantial uh unprovoked escalation last week. | ||
| Uh, we were unable to get in touch with them since then. | ||
| It's been IMF World Bank Week. | ||
| They have had working level people here who there have been meetings. | ||
| The vice premier, who is my counterpart, and I will be speaking this evening uh at around 8 30, 9 o'clock. | ||
| And then he and I and a delegation will meet in Malaysia probably a week from tomorrow to prepare there for the two presidents to meet. | ||
| So I again I think that things have de-escalated. | ||
| We hope that uh China will show the respect that we have shown them. | ||
| And I am confident that President Trump, because of his relationship with President Xi, will be able to get things back on a good course. | ||
| Is the hope for that meeting with you and President Xi some kind of trade deal then? | ||
| Or would be more look, I think we're in a very strong position. | ||
| I think we're in a very strong position. | ||
| Uh we're getting, as you know, as of November 1st, I could move it up if I wanted uh a 100 percent tariff over and above what we get now. | ||
| So that would make it about 157 percent. | ||
| And China doesn't want that, and they want to talk, and we're talking, and I think we'll make a deal that will be good for both. | ||
| I think we will uh do something, but you have to understand we never got anything from China. | ||
| It was a one-way street for many years, for decades, it was a one-way street, and they became rich because of the United States. | ||
| And frankly, presidents that let's be nice, they didn't know. | ||
| They just didn't know. | ||
| They didn't understand what was happening to them. | ||
| But I understood it. | ||
| I understood it long before I ran for politics. | ||
| I used to watch in amazement at how stupid our country was, how stupid they were, and we're not stupid anymore. | ||
| And that includes with the European Union, that includes with Japan and South Korea. | ||
| We're we're all we want to do is be treated fairly. | ||
| But the fairly is hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars coming into the United States. | ||
| And it's uh our national security is secure because of tariffs. | ||
| If we didn't have tariffs, we would have no national security. | ||
| So it's very important. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Will you think China's help in ending the war in Ukraine? | |
| Do you need them to put pressure on Russia? | ||
| I'll be discussing that, but I'd love I'd love to see it ended before that. | ||
| I mean, I I think we have a chance of ending the war quickly. | ||
| If uh flexibility is shown on behalf, and again, we're not losing people. | ||
| The United States is not we're not losing people, we're not spending money, we're getting paid for the you know, ammunition and missiles and everything else that we're sending to the European Union European Union, but to NATO. | ||
| But it's very similar. | ||
| If you look at the countries, I mean it's very similar. | ||
| And we just made a very fair trade deal with the European Union, and what we wanted, and we made a very good deal with NATO too. | ||
| You know, they pay for all of this. | ||
| That's not what we're in this for. | ||
| We're in it to save thousands of lives every week. | ||
| Thousands and thousands of lives. | ||
| That's why we're in it. | ||
| And I think I think we have a very I think we have a very good chance of uh bringing this war to a conclusion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
President and your cabinet has done an honestly an excellent job. | |
| I think that a lot of people could agree to that. | ||
| I'm speaking as someone who lost my father in a war, so I know the human cost. | ||
| Uh, What would your advice to be be to American leaders, to world leaders, to neocons, to uh TV hosts uh who often speak about conflict in abstract or strategic terms rather than the human cost and the human terms? | ||
| My only statement is we have to get together some very small group of people. | ||
| It's the president, the president, and the president. | ||
| Okay, three presidents, and I'm the mediator president, and I'm mediating, not an easy situation. | ||
| It should be easy, but uh it's a lot easier when people understand each other and when they get together and when they like each other. | ||
| We don't necessarily have that situation as far as like is concerned. | ||
| Maybe it can turn around, maybe it can. | ||
| But in the meantime, we'll have them keep a little bit of distance, and we're gonna see if we can get it done. | ||
| Uh this is number nine, okay. | ||
| This will be number nine uh for me. | ||
| I've solved eight, including the Middle East, I've solved eight. | ||
| This I thought would have been among the easiest. | ||
| We solved President Putin mentioned yesterday Armenia, you know, all of the different wars, he said it was amazing because we but the big one that he was surprised that we were able to settle was the Middle East. | ||
| He thought it was incredible. | ||
| He was very generous in that sense. | ||
| Uh this should be something we're able to settle, and I think we will be able to settle. | ||
| Right, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On that note, you will go down as a peacemaker, no doubt. | |
| And you will resolve this this war. | ||
| Well, you know, we we resolved eight others. | ||
| It's funny how people say that. | ||
| If you get this one, every time I do one, they forget about that one. | ||
| Uh I solved eight wars. | ||
| Go to Rwanda and the Congo, talk about India and Pakistan. | ||
| Uh look at Thailand, look at I look at all of the wars that we saw. | ||
| And every time I saw one, they say, if you solve the next one, you're gonna get the Nobel Prize. | ||
| I didn't get a Nobel Prize. | ||
| I somebody got it who's a very nice woman, very nice. | ||
| I don't know who she is, but she was very generous. | ||
| Uh so I don't care about all that stuff. | ||
| I just care about saving lives. | ||
| But this will be number nine. | ||
| But every time I solve one, they said, sir, if you solve one more, you're gonna be known as a peacekeeper. | ||
| So to the best of my knowledge, we've never had a president that solved one war. | ||
| Not one war. | ||
| Bush started a war. | ||
| A lot of them start wars, but they don't solve the wars, they don't settle them. | ||
| And especially when they're not when they have nothing to do with us. | ||
| I saw almost, I guess just about all of these wars had nothing to do with us. | ||
| But I saved tens of millions of lives. | ||
| The Prime Minister of Pakistan said I saved millions of lives in interceding on Pakistan and uh you look at Pakistan and India as an example. | ||
| That would have been a bad one, two nuclear nations, right? | ||
| So I say this. | ||
| Uh this is pretty much the last one, although I do understand that Pakistan attacked, or there is an attack going on with Afghanistan. | ||
| That's an easy one for me to solve if I have to solve it. | ||
| In the meantime, I have to run the USA, but I love solving wars. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| I like stopping people from being killed. | ||
| And I've saved millions and millions of lives. | ||
| And I think we're going to have success with this war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, one of them. | |
| Wait, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is your third time over here. | |
| By the way, you look actually. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Um this is your third time here. | ||
| How different sitting across from the president is this time versus the two previous uh times here at the White House. | ||
| How confident are you hearing the success rate of solving these prior wars that you can get this war solved? | ||
| First of all, about suit. | ||
| The same shoot because the same president. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| Yes, about uh our relations with uh President Trump. | ||
| I think we have Important dialogues. | ||
| And uh I think we uh begin to understand each other. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And I I know that President is briefed very well about the situation in the battlefield. | ||
| And he knows a lot what's going on in the battlefield in Ukraine. | ||
| And I think it really helps. | ||
| When you know a lot of things, a lot of details about one or another war, it helps a lot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But we are still in war. | |
| You have to be here that you know some countries that are not meeting their commitment. | ||
| You pointed out Spain. | ||
| They said that like it's impossible to do. | ||
| No, Spain has not come through. | ||
| No, Spain has not been loyal to NATO. | ||
| Spain has been uh they're the only one. | ||
| Everyone went up to, as you know, I mean, you were at 2%, and they all went up to 5%, but Spain disagreed with that. | ||
| Uh I think Spain should be reprimanded for that. | ||
| I think it's very bad that they did that, but that's up to them. | ||
| That's up to NATO and Spain. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They cannot be expelled from NATO. | |
| Um can they or not? | ||
| They cannot, according to the treaty, but they also believe that they are protected by the European Union umbrella for trade. | ||
| Well, the other people, many of the other countries are in the European Union too. | ||
| They're not complaining, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, Mr. President, I'm asking that they're telling you that we'll be serious. | |
| That's what it's interesting. | ||
| Mr. President, they're protecting us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President. | |
| Yeah, please go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Mr. President. | |
| Um, can you uh do you think you can carry the momentum from the Middle East deal over to the steel? | ||
| Um, how does that move the needle? | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| I think we carry a lot of momentum, a lot of credibility. | ||
| Getting Middle East done was very important. | ||
| Nobody thought it could be done. | ||
| That was one nobody thought could be done, and we got it done. | ||
| And a lot of that was the big hit that we put on uh Iran with respect to the nuclear they took that was uh that was a an unbelievable military maneuver, the B-2s, and many other plans involved, by the way, but the B-2s. | ||
| Uh yeah, I think nobody expected that to happen. | ||
| And you know, we had 59 countries involved, and these were countries very diverse. | ||
| You had Arab, Muslim, Jewish, you had every kind of you had every country, Christian, you had every country, many countries involved, and we got that done, and we got it done pretty swiftly after we after we set the table properly. | ||
| We had to set the table properly. | ||
| Uh I this should be one that we get done. | ||
| And I think the table is set properly here now, too. | ||
| And it would be a great honor. | ||
| It'll be a great honor to get it done, and uh the Ukrainian people are great, and the Russian people are great, and obviously they have much in common, as we understand, they have a lot in common, so it'll be a great honor to get it done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
On Venezuela, there are survivors from your latest vote strike. | |
| What happens to those survivors? | ||
| Well, I'll ask uh Marco to discuss that possibly. | ||
| Yeah, as you it's it's well known there's an ongoing uh narco-terrorist operation the United States has been conducting. | ||
| As far as details of any recent strikes, uh we're not prepared here to announce all those details, but you'll get that information here very shortly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And how are there survivors when these are meant to be lethal attacks? | |
| Yeah, again, I mean we're on uh undertaking these operations against narco-terrorists. | ||
| That's what these are, these are terrorists. | ||
| Let's be clear. | ||
| And um but as far as the details of any recent operations when they when they when we are prepared to announce those, we will, as the president has consistently done. | ||
| So you may get something on that later today. | ||
| Let me ask you that was in a submarine, right? | ||
| It was we attacked a submarine, and that was a drug-carrying submarine built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs, just so you understand. | ||
| This was not an innocent group of people. | ||
| I don't know too many people that have submarines. | ||
| And uh that was an attack on a drug-carrying loaded up submarine. | ||

Yeah, on on Putin, do you is it your belief, as Mr. Zelensky uh said yesterday, that the threat of tomahawks and and costs, uh, Secretary Huxley put it, um, is that bringing him to the table, the fact that it's kind of a carrot and stuff. | |
| I don't know what's bringing him to the table. | ||
| I I think he wants to make a deal. | ||
| That's all. | ||
| I I can't tell you what's bringing him. | ||
| Sure, that's the threat of that is good, but the threat of that is always there. | ||
| Uh Tomahawks are very dangerous weapons. | ||
| They're incredible weapons. | ||
| If you like warfare, it's one of the most accurate. | ||
| You know, we used uh we had 30 tomahawks in Iran after the B-2s did their damage. | ||
| We sort of gave it a little capper with 30 tomahawks from a submarine. | ||
| Quite far away, actually, but they're an amazing weapon. | ||
| They're a very powerful weapon, but they're a very dangerous weapon, and it could mean big ex you know, escalation. | ||
| It could mean uh a lot of bad things can happen. | ||
| Tomahawks are a big deal. | ||
| But one thing I have to say, we want tomahawks also. | ||
| We don't want to be giving away uh things that we need to protect our country. | ||
| We have a very strong country right now. | ||
| We have a strong military, we have the greatest military in the world, we have the greatest weapons in the world. | ||

I want to get this war over. | |
| I just heard about it. | ||
| Uh tunnel from Russia to Alaska. | ||
| I just heard about that one. | ||
| That's an interesting one. | ||
| We'll have to think about that. | ||
| I hadn't heard that. | ||
| We just did a nice road in Alaska that's gonna get us through a lot of minerals, and we'd have a piece of it, a good piece of the ownership because of the fact we made it possible. | ||
| But uh this came up yesterday, a tunnel from Russia to Alaska. | ||
| That's an interesting what do you think of that, Mr. President? | ||
| Do you have any ideas? | ||
| How do you like that idea? | ||
| I'm not happy with this. | ||
| I don't think you're gonna like it. | ||
| I don't think he liked it. | ||
| I don't think he liked it. | ||
| You think that batteries movement your guidance well we had a a senator that wanted, remember from Hawaii? | ||
| She wanted a tunnel from the mainland to Hawaii, then she said, Well, we can't do that, so we're gonna build a railroad to Hawaii. | ||
| Do you remember? | ||
| She's a current sitting senator, a Democrat. | ||
| She wants a railroad to go to Hawaii, right? | ||
| You know who that is, right? | ||
| She's another one. | ||
| She's another one. | ||
| Yeah, please. | ||

On your meeting with Putin, aren't you concerned that maybe the Russian president is trying to buy himself more time? | |
| Yeah, yeah, I am, but you know, I've been played all my life by the best of them. | ||
| And I came out really well. | ||
| Uh so it's possible, yeah. | ||
| A little time. | ||
| But I I think that uh pretty good at this stuff. | ||
| I think that he wants to make a deal. | ||
| I made eight of them. | ||
| I'm gonna make a ninth. | ||
| i think he wants to make a deal Well, I think I think that he should have won the war in a week. | ||
| Yeah, I do think. | ||
| And if we didn't, if we didn't give the uh anti-tank missiles, as you know, the javelins they call them. | ||
| Uh they got stuck in the mud. | ||
| They would have been in Kiev very quickly. | ||
| They were heading to Kiev. | ||
| So uh you know, in war you have a lot of luck too, you know. | ||
| People weather has won war and the cold and the heat and all things take place in war. | ||
| But that was a very interesting moment when the tank started rolling, and some brilliant general said, let's go through the mud instead of going down the highway, right? | ||
| So they they got a little bit lucky. | ||
| But you know where they really got lucky? | ||
| I gave javelins. | ||
| That wasn't given by Barack Hussein Obama. | ||
| He gave them sheets. | ||
| You know, there's a statement. | ||
| Obama gave them sheets, and I gave them uh the javelins, and the javelins are a devastating weapon. | ||
| And that wasn't given by Obama, that was given by Trey, because at the time it was Obama. | ||
| Uh that was given by that was given by me. | ||
| So it was like one of those things. | ||
| Uh and you had hundreds of them, hundreds of them. | ||
| They're a devastating weapon. | ||
| We have a lot of devastating weapons. | ||
| I'd rather not use them. | ||
| But that was a big moment. | ||
| You know, when the tanks, when the tanks got stuck, they got stuck. | ||
| And uh call it luck or call it talent. | ||
| I'm not sure what you'd call it, but it was a big moment in time. | ||

Do you think Democrats could be free? | |
| Democrats could not run when you finally end this war, like they did with the war in the Middle East and suffering. | ||
| I think right now the Democrats are really damaged, mentally damaged. | ||
| Uh they want to take 1.5 trillion with a T trillion dollars and give it to people that invaded our country. | ||
| They came into our country illegally from prisons from mental institutions, gang members. | ||
| They want to give them health care and take it away from our citizens. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| 1.5 trillion dollars. | ||
| They want to destroy, they want to destroy our health care system. | ||

We're not going to all let that happen. | |
| I wouldn't say that but some interesting things are happening around the world I'll say that Mr. President, it has been reported that Maduro offered everything in his country, all the natural resources He even recorded a message to you in English recently, uh, offering mediation. | ||
| What could we do in order to stop that? | ||
| He has offered everything. | ||
| He's offered everything. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because he doesn't want to fuck around with the United States. | ||
