Let's Make a Deal

|
|
And Bush, and he might have broken them with Biden.
|
|
He did, maybe.
|
|
Maybe he didn't.
|
|
I don't know what happened.
|
|
But he didn't break them with me.
|
|
He wants to make a deal.
|
|
I don't know if you can make a deal.
|
|
The problem is, I've empowered you to be a tough guy.
|
|
And I don't think you'd be a tough guy without the United States.
|
|
And your people are very brave.
|
|
But you're either going to make a deal or we're out.
|
|
And if we're out, you'll fight it out.
|
|
I don't think it's going to be pretty, but you'll fight it out.
|
|
But you don't have the cards.
|
|
But once we sign that deal, you're in a much better position.
|
|
But you're not acting at all thankful.
|
|
And that's not a nice thing.
|
|
I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing.
|
|
All right.
|
|
I think we've seen enough.
|
|
What do you think?
|
|
This is going to be great television.
|
|
I will say that.
|
|
All right.
|
|
We'll see what we can do about putting it together.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
Guys, let's go.
|
|
|
|
Guys, come on, let's go.
|
|
|
|
We'll see.
|
|
|
|
All right, guys, guys, come on.
|
|
Please.
|
|
Hey, come on.
|
|
Let's go.
|
|
Guys, come on.
|
|
Let's move, please.
|
|
Please.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
Senator is sick now.
|
|
He's here.
|
|
He's coming.
|
|
Guys.
|
|
Guys, right now, you gotta move.
|
|
It's all right.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
It's all the same.
|
|
He's coming.
|
|
Is this better?
|
|
So, what I think is complete, utter disaster.
|
|
|
|
I've been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started.
|
|
I understand the consequences of Putin's actions against Ukraine.
|
|
|
|
I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done.
|
|
They fought like tigers.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well.
|
|
|
|
I talked to Zelensky this morning.
|
|
Don't take the bait.
|
|
President Trump was in a very good mood last night.
|
|
Somebody asked me, Am I embarrassed about Trump?
|
|
I have never been more proud of the president.
|
|
I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country.
|
|
We want to be helpful.
|
|
What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful.
|
|
And I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again.
|
|
I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with.
|
|
The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president was just over the top.
|
|
So I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important.
|
|
But can Zelensky do a deal with the United States after what I saw?
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
What did he say to you about his interactions, and whether he thinks he's going to work with He was shocked.
|
|
He was very upbeat.
|
|
I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees.
|
|
We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war ends.
|
|
This is a process.
|
|
You have a new relationship with America.
|
|
A $500 billion, half a trillion dollar deal that President Trump is proud of, that gives us an interest worth defending.
|
|
Let's talk about the positive.
