Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Powerful man, very powerful.
donald j trump
Thank you.
No crime.
They have no crime.
unidentified
Thank you, Dr. Ken.
You want to take a couple of questions?
I don't get up.
donald j trump
It's probably a couple of questions because we're having an amazing period of time, like I think nobody's seen before.
And we had tremendous stop, as you know, in Israel.
And now we're in a country where a friend of mine is a very powerful leader.
And my friend is right here, the president, also the general, you know.
Sometimes I call him, usually I call him the general because he's both, and he's good at both.
And they've done a fantastic job.
And they have very little crime, you know, because they don't play games, that's why.
They don't play games like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing.
But they don't have crime.
I ask about crime and they almost don't even know what I'm talking about.
So it's a great tribute to this man.
He's done a fantastic job in bringing this country together.
And the United States is with him all the way.
unidentified
Thank you.
donald j trump
Okay, all the way.
And it's an honor to be with you.
unidentified
Sir, what will Egypt's role play in the peace process here?
donald j trump
He played a very important role.
And they had a very important role with Hamas.
In fact, the general was right here, was very instrumental because Hamas respects this country and they respect the leadership of Egypt.
So you played a very important role.
I appreciate it very much.
Thank you.
peter doocy
Thank you very much.
President Trump, in Israel just now you were talking about a possible Iran peace deal.
You said we are ready when you are.
Is that the ultimate goal with today's signing to get not Iran, but I think Iran will come along.
donald j trump
They've been battered and bruised and you know they're they need some help.
They have big sanctions as you know tremendous sanctions.
I'd love to take the sanctions off when they're ready to talk.
But they can't really survive with those sanctions.
Those sanctions are very tough.
But at some point they're going to say we want the sanctions off.
We're going to end up with peace.
I think Iran is going to be fine.
I know so many Iranian people.
They're great people.
They're smart.
Great, great people, engineers, lawyers.
I mean, they're academics.
But they took a big hit.
And frankly, if we didn't hit them with the nuclear, I don't think you would have been able to have this incredible deal that's once in a lifetime deal.
Nobody's ever seen it.
They're like, what's happening today?
And countries have all come together.
All different countries.
Some liked each other, some didn't.
Most didn't.
And they've all come together.
Every country has come together.
And by the way, Iran did put out a statement, you know, that they support this deal very wholeheartedly.
So that was in itself something.
But no, I think they want to, that's all I do in my life.
I make deals.
And they want to make a deal.
unidentified
President Trump is.
Now that the winning hostages have been returned, can you please tell us what the next steps are?
Well, they're going and looking for bodies.
donald j trump
It's a pretty gruesome task.
unidentified
And they know where numerous are, as you know.
donald j trump
I guess five or six are in yet now.
But they're looking for bodies.
They know the areas.
And the search parties out.
And they're doing it in conjunction with Israel.
unidentified
And they're going to be finding quite a few of them.
President Trump, can you tell us when phase two of the negotiations will begin?
donald j trump
Well, it started.
I mean, it started as far as we're concerned.
Phase two started.
And, you know, the phases are all a little bit mixed in with each other.
They're going to start cleaning up.
If you look at Gaza, it needs a lot of cleanup.
That's why when I talked to my speech, I talked about the debris.
I used the word debris.
That's debris times 10.
unidentified
So, but we're going to, they're going to really do a job.
donald j trump
They have a lot of power.
In another room, you have the wealthiest, some of the wealthiest nations in the world.
All leaders, the big leaders are here, the emirs, the kings, and everybody.
And it's a very interesting group.
I guess we have like 35 countries.
And that's only because they were the 35 that we invited.
Everybody that we invited came.
So there's a lot of respect.
And I think you'll see some tremendous progress, both in the Middle East.
This country is doing very well.
It has good leadership.
It's about leadership.
And it's really nice when you say, how is your crime situation?
And they like, don't even know what you're talking about.
What do you mean crime?
We don't have crime.
Because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.
Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great.
Because people don't want to be mugged and smashed and they don't want to be stupid people.
They have a place that is doing very well.
We're very proud of it because we knew each other from the beginning.
The first time I met, it was in a hotel and I was going to meet him and then Hillary Clinton was following me.
unidentified
Remember?
donald j trump
Hillary Clinton.
And he liked me so much, he never even got to see Hillary.
He saw it for about two seconds.
But he didn't really want to waste a lot of time.
He knew what was going to happen.
But that was the first time we met, and we had a very good chemistry together.
And it continues till today.
So I want to thank you all very much.
I appreciate the way you covered this really momentous, I've never seen anything like it.
The level of love, the level of respect for what it is.
And it's, you know, it's peace in the Middle East that everybody said it's not possible to do.
And it's going to happen.
And it is happening before your very eyes.
And that's why it's become so fascinating.
Marco, do you have anything to say?
unidentified
Egypt's been a phenomenal participant.
I think both Steve and Jared will tell you the critical role they play.
And they can tell you themselves.
marco rubio
They hosted the talks here, and they're going to play a very important role now in the follow-up, the implementation of this, which is really, it's not simply about restoring Gaza.
unidentified
It is about transforming the region.
marco rubio
So we've got an incredible partner, a lawyer alliance, very capable partner here, and a tremendous collection of leaders.
This is clearly, in my mind, I think in the mind of everyone in this room, probably one of the most important days for world peace in 50 years.
unidentified
That's not an exaggeration.
donald j trump
Only 50?
unidentified
Maybe 100.
translator arabic
This is the end of World War II.
unidentified
Mr. Wycoff and Mr. Kushner, I'm curious, you've played such an important role in the tactical negotiations here.
dasha burns
What will your role be going forward as a lot more has to be brought to the table here?
unidentified
The minute we ate the deal, Jared and I were already working on the implementation side of the deal.
So we're dug in, we'll be here quite a bit.
donald j trump
That's at the direction of the President.
unidentified
That's probably going to be one of the most important phases here.
donald j trump
Jared is remarkable to work with.
unidentified
I talk about it all the time.
donald j trump
And of course, we both love working for the President.
unidentified
So it feels like a very honorable job.
donald j trump
Mr. President, would you like to say something with the interpreter?
translator arabic
For first of all, you'll actually say I welcome to Egypt Thank you.
It's a great pleasure and an honor to have you with us here in the city of Peace, Sean Sheikh, Dali, also to extend on behalf of all Egyptians and peace lovers around the world.
I salute the appreciation and respect for this unprecedented and momentless accomplishment by your hands.
I've been very confident that your Excellency is the only one who is capable of bringing this about and bringing an end to this world.
abdel fattah el-sisi
I've been very confident that your Excellency is the only one who is capable of doing this in our region.
translator arabic
I even said that very precisely during my communication with your excellence that you are the only one who is able to bring about peace and to achieve peace in this context.
Thank you, Mr. President.
The President, what we need to do now is to fix the ceasefire, make sure that it maintains the state, that we can deliver all of the remaining bodies of the deceased to the families, but this is very important.
To bring in more humanitarian assistance into the strip and working very closely on following up the rest of the steps that should be taken to make this successful.
unidentified
Mr. President, you'll be very brief.
Thank you.
translator arabic
Thank you.
donald j trump
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
unidentified
We're with him all the way.
Will he be on the Board of Peace, sir?
donald j trump
I'd like to have him on the board.
unidentified
I'd like to, we may need an interpreter, but that's okay.
abdel fattah el-sisi
Would that have a moment?
translator arabic
As long as the President, as I said, the Board of Peace, I'll be there.
donald j trump
We've had many leaders want to be on the board, actually.
The Board of Peace is it's taken on, Steve, I'd say, a life of its own.
Do you want to discuss that?
What's happened?
unidentified
I think we have a long list of applicants to be on that board.
donald j trump
Everybody wants to do this.
That's very nice.
It's better than the other way.
Usually it's the other way.
Nobody wants to be on the board.
But it's really taken on.
This whole thing has taken on a life that's very different.
So it's been really a great honor.
And you people have done a fantastic job, I want to tell you, that we appreciate it very much.
Thank you very much, everybody.
