donald j trump
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.
unidentified
All right.
donald j trump
We'll see what we can do about putting that together.
unidentified
Thank you.
Guys, let's go.
Guys, come on.
We'll see.
I don't know.
Wait, members of the day.
Guys, come on.
Let's move, please.
Please.
Can you have a break down?
Thank you.
The senator is here.
He's coming.
Guys.
Guys, right now, you've got to move.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Keep the safe.
Is this better?
Yeah.
For you and for us.
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.
unidentified
I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done.
They fought like tigers.
lindsey graham
At the end of the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well.
unidentified
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.
Senator Graham.
You know, I was with President Trump.
kaitlan collins
What did he say to you about his interactions and whether he thinks that?
unidentified
He was shocked.
He was very upbeat.
I told Zelensky, we'll talk about security guarantees.
lindsey graham
We'll talk about ceasefires and how the war ends.
unidentified
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.
lindsey graham
But he was terrible at Munich, Zelensky, and I think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he's a good investment.
unidentified
So he is a business.
That's what he is.
Senator Graham.
Senator Lincoln.
Senator Grace.
donald j trump
One at a time.
unidentified
Senator Graham, thank you.
Do you think President Zelensky needs to resign to resume these peace talks?
He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.
