[00:00:01] Well, thank you very much. We had a [00:00:03] terrific meeting. Uh we discussed a lot [00:00:07] of things. As you know, I had an [00:00:09] excellent phone call with President [00:00:10] Putin that lasted for over two hours. We [00:00:13] discussed a lot of points and I do think [00:00:16] we're getting a lot closer, maybe very [00:00:18] close. Uh the president and I just uh [00:00:22] spoke to the European leaders. They were [00:00:26] President Emanuel Mcronone of France, [00:00:29] President Alexander Stub of the Republic [00:00:32] of Finland, [00:00:34] President Carol Noraki of the Republic [00:00:38] of Poland, Prime Minister Jonas Gar [00:00:42] Store of the Kingdom of Norway, Prime [00:00:46] Minister George Maloney of the Italian [00:00:50] Republic, Prime Minister Kier Starmer of [00:00:54] the United Kingdom, [00:00:55] of Britain and Northern Ireland. [00:01:00] Chancellor Frederick Mertz, the Federal [00:01:03] Republic of Germany, Secretary General [00:01:06] Mark Rout, [00:01:08] the North Atlantic [00:01:10] Treaty Organization NATO, President [00:01:13] Ursula Vanderland [00:01:16] of the European Commission. We spoke to [00:01:19] all of those great leaders. They're all [00:01:20] great leaders and uh we had a great talk [00:01:24] with them after we were completed. We [00:01:26] thought it was appropriate to speak with [00:01:28] them and our meeting was excellent. We [00:01:31] covered somebody would say 95% I don't [00:01:34] know what percent but we uh have made a [00:01:37] lot of progress on ending that war which [00:01:40] is really the certainly the most deadly [00:01:42] war since World War II probably the [00:01:45] biggest war since World War II. [00:01:47] And I want to thank Steve Whitoff who's [00:01:49] here. And I'd like to thank Jared who's [00:01:52] here someplace. Thank you, Jared. And [00:01:53] thank you, Steve. What a great job [00:01:55] you've done. Jared Kushner, Steve [00:01:57] Woodco, and uh Marco Ruby is here. Thank [00:02:01] you, Marco. [00:02:03] And Pete Hath is here doing those two [00:02:07] people are doing an unbelievable job. [00:02:08] And the four people on this one are [00:02:11] doing uh I don't think anybody could do [00:02:13] it. And we'll see if it gets done, but [00:02:15] it's very close. Certainly nobody would [00:02:17] even have a chance of getting it to [00:02:20] where it is right now. Nobody would have [00:02:21] thought that was possible. So I just [00:02:24] want to say we've done very well. We've [00:02:25] had discussions on just about every [00:02:27] subject. Uh and that includes with [00:02:30] President Putin before [00:02:32] and uh we we went into great detail and [00:02:35] we likewise went into great detail [00:02:37] today. And it was an honor to have you [00:02:39] at Mara Lago and have lunch. I hope you [00:02:41] enjoyed the food. [laughter] [00:02:43] >> Your people enjoy the food. I can tell [00:02:44] you that. your big strong people, your [00:02:47] general over there. It looks like [00:02:48] central casting. Uh I want to also, by [00:02:51] the way, speaking of generals, we have a [00:02:53] great general, [00:02:54] >> General Raisin Kane, who is here [00:02:56] someplace. Thank you, General. Thank you [00:02:58] very much. He's great. So, uh, Mr. [00:03:01] President, maybe you want to say a few [00:03:03] words and then we'll speak over the next [00:03:06] couple of weeks. We'll speak probably [00:03:07] quite a bit, but we'll speak tomorrow. [00:03:09] Thank you very much. Appreciate it. [00:03:10] >> Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. [00:03:11] President. Thank you for everything, [00:03:13] dear colleagues. First of all, I would [00:03:15] like to thank President Trump for a [00:03:18] great meeting at this amazing place in [00:03:21] his home in Mara Lago and we had a [00:03:24] really great discussions on all the [00:03:26] topics and we appreciate the progress [00:03:28] that was made by American and Ukrainian [00:03:31] teams in this recent weeks. Special [00:03:34] thanks to Steve Witkaf and Jared Kushner [00:03:37] and thank you to uh for for their [00:03:40] engagement and full commitment and also [00:03:43] to our team and first of all to Rust and [00:03:46] General and to all our teams and we [00:03:49] discussed all the aspects of the peace [00:03:52] framework which includes and we have a [00:03:54] great achievements 20 point peace plan [00:03:57] 90% agreed and US Ukraine security [00:03:59] guarantees 100% agreed US Europe Ukraine [00:04:03] security guarantee is almost agreed. [00:04:05] Military dimension 100% agreed. [00:04:08] Prosperity plan being finalized and we [00:04:10] also discussed the sequencing of the [00:04:13] following actions and we agree that [00:04:15] security guarantees is a key milestone [00:04:19] in achieving lasting peace and our teams [00:04:22] will continue working on all aspects. We [00:04:25] also had a joint productive call with [00:04:27] European leaders like President Trump [00:04:29] said already and a lot of leaders [00:04:31] including NATO and the EU and we agreed [00:04:34] that our teams will meet in upcoming [00:04:36] weeks to finalize all discussed matters [00:04:40] and we agreed with President Trump that [00:04:42] he will host us and uh maybe in [00:04:45] Washington European leaders and [00:04:48] Ukrainian delegation. Yes. in January [00:04:50] and Ukraine is ready for peace and once [00:04:53] again would like to thank President [00:04:55] Trump for a warm welcome and substantial [00:04:58] discussion. Thank you, Mr. President. [00:05:00] >> Thank you so much, Mr. President. [00:05:02] >> Any questions, please? [00:05:06] >> President 90% 100% [00:05:09] the US uh Ukraine security guarantees. [00:05:12] What number are we at right now? [00:05:14] >> Well, I think we're I look, you know, [00:05:15] you can say 95%, but I don't like to say [00:05:18] percentages. I just think we're doing [00:05:20] very well. We're very We could be very [00:05:22] close. There are one or two very thorny [00:05:24] issues, very tough issues, but I think [00:05:26] we're doing very well. We made a lot of [00:05:28] progress today, but really we've made it [00:05:30] over the last month. This is not a [00:05:32] one-day process deal. This very [00:05:34] complicated stuff, but I think when the [00:05:36] president says 95, I think, you know, [00:05:38] could be close to 95%. Yeah. Please [00:05:41] behind you. [00:05:42] >> Mr. President, can you agree on the [00:05:44] so-called free trade zone on Donbos? how [00:05:47] to separate uh how to separate the sides [00:05:51] how how to make the separation line who [00:05:53] will be responsible [00:05:54] >> the word agreed is too strong I would [00:05:56] say not agreed but we're getting closer [00:05:58] to an agreement on that and that's a big [00:06:00] issue certainly that's one of the big [00:06:02] issues and uh I think we're we're closer [00:06:04] than we were probably one it's [00:06:07] unresolved but it's getting a lot closer [00:06:10] that's a very tough issue but one that I [00:06:14] think will get resolved yeah please We [00:06:16] receiving some mixed signals coming from [00:06:18] Moscow even after this president. Can [00:06:21] you assure us that you have received [00:06:23] written or any formal response? [00:06:25] >> Well, what was the issue? You have to [00:06:26] tell me. What did they say? [00:06:28] >> They are [00:06:30] Ukraine has to give up. [00:06:34] >> Well, that's what they've been asking [00:06:35] for and uh you know there's a dispute [00:06:39] about that. So, they're going to have to [00:06:40] iron that out. That's an issue they have [00:06:42] to iron out. Uh it's uh but I think it's [00:06:46] moving in the right direction [00:06:54] >> if it if something doesn't happen. [00:06:56] >> You mean if something doesn't happen? [00:06:58] Yeah. Go ahead. [00:07:00] >> No. Go ahead. You want to finish your [00:07:02] question? [00:07:05] >> Well, we'll see. Look, we'll see. But I [00:07:06] don't want to talk about that because I [00:07:08] think we're getting pretty close. Yes. [00:07:09] Please. May I ask the president [00:07:12] about territorial question? Mr. [00:07:14] President, what is your take on status? [00:07:16] Are you prepared to see it as a free [00:07:18] economic order? [00:07:21] >> No, we spoke about 20 points planned and [00:07:23] I'm happy that really our teams very [00:07:26] close to results and I agree with [00:07:29] President Trump that they our teams work [00:07:31] not one day and not one not one week [00:07:34] more than one months beginning from [00:07:36] Genev then two meetings in Miami. Then [00:07:39] we had Berlin and now we have Maralaga. [00:07:42] So this is very difficult question you [00:07:44] know our position. So it's I mean this [00:07:47] we have to respect our law and our [00:07:49] people and we respect the territory [00:07:51] which we control and of course the our [00:07:55] attitude is very clear. That's why [00:07:56] President Trump said this is very tough [00:07:59] question and of course we have with [00:08:01] Russians different positions on it. And [00:08:03] have you discussed referendum about [00:08:05] >> no when we speak about referendum we [00:08:07] spoke that it's one of the key we can [00:08:09] have referendum on on any kind of points [00:08:13] of this plan I said that we can use [00:08:15] referendum like for the plan or we [00:08:18] cannot use referendum it's one of the [00:08:20] key we can use I mean this possibility [00:08:22] of parliament to vote according to the [00:08:24] law or to have referendum doesn't matter [00:08:27] is I mean this referendum if the plan [00:08:29] will be very difficult for our society [00:08:31] very difficult Well, of course, our [00:08:33] society has to choose and who has to [00:08:36] vote because it's their land, the land, [00:08:38] not of one person. It's the land of our [00:08:41] nation for a lot of generous [00:08:44] generations. [00:08:44] >> They'll probably have to get their plan [00:08:46] approved by parliament or by referendum [00:08:48] of the people. You would think that they [00:08:51] want I know they had a poll that it's [00:08:53] 91% in favor of ending this war. So, [00:08:56] they want to end it like everybody want. [00:08:58] Russia wants it ended. Everybody wants [00:08:59] it ended. So, and we want it ended. I [00:09:01] want it ended because I don't want to [00:09:03] see so many people dying. We're losing, [00:09:06] you know, massive numbers of people. The [00:09:08] biggest by far since World War II. So, [00:09:10] we want to see it ended. Absolutely. [00:09:13] >> President Trump, you you said at the top [00:09:14] that you you plan to speak again [00:09:16] tomorrow. Is that correct? [00:09:19] >> I might. I mean, it depends on what [00:09:21] happens tomorrow. If there's an [00:09:22] additional something to add, otherwise [00:09:24] there's no reason to. We're in the [00:09:26] process. Uh Jared and Steve are working [00:09:28] very hard to get something done and if [00:09:31] there's something that comes up I'd [00:09:33] speak but otherwise I don't think [00:09:34] there's any reason to [00:09:36] >> in your mind sir what are what are the [00:09:37] thornest issues still unresolved after [00:09:39] the [00:09:40] >> well I think uh the land you're talking [00:09:42] about some of that land has been taken [00:09:45] some of that land is maybe up for grabs [00:09:48] but it may be taken over the next period [00:09:51] of a number of months and are you better [00:09:54] off making a deal now look let Let me [00:09:56] tell you the they have been very brave. [00:09:57] They fought very hard and continue to [00:10:00] fight very hard and do tremendous damage [00:10:04] but uh Russia would like to see it end [00:10:06] and Ukraine would like to see it and I [00:10:09] think it's time to end and uh a lot of [00:10:12] very brave people a lot of people are [00:10:13] dead right now unfortunately because [00:10:16] I've said and nobody's disputed it that [00:10:19] if the election weren't rigged and [00:10:21] stolen 2020 you wouldn't have had this [00:10:23] war. would have never happened and it [00:10:24] didn't happen for four years. Never was [00:10:26] even thought to happen. [00:10:29] Uh and I spoke with President Putin. I [00:10:32] got along with him very well despite the [00:10:33] Russia Russia Russia hoax which was a [00:10:35] total hoax. He used to say, "What is [00:10:38] going on over there?" But it was a total [00:10:40] hoax as he knew and as I knew, but I [00:10:42] spoke to him and and we'd talk about [00:10:45] Ukraine. I I've said it before, it was [00:10:47] the apple of his eye, but he wasn't [00:10:49] going to do anything about he didn't do [00:10:50] anything about it until I was gone. And [00:10:53] then uh a lot of really bad statements [00:10:56] were made by people by a lot of people I [00:10:58] guess but by uh a certain president that [00:11:01] we had who who was a disaster. Yes. [00:11:05] >> Do you anticipate going to Ukraine if [00:11:07] you can get to an agreement and um [00:11:10] >> I'd have no problem with doing it. You [00:11:12] know I have no problem with doing don't [00:11:14] anticipate it. Uh would like to get the [00:11:17] deal done and not necessarily have to [00:11:19] go. I've offered to go and speak to [00:11:22] their parliament [00:11:23] and you know if that would help. I don't [00:11:25] know if that would help. I think it [00:11:26] would probably help but I I don't even [00:11:28] know if that's [00:11:28] >> You're welcome. [00:11:30] >> Yeah. No, I know. [00:11:31] >> So, I'm not sure that it would be really [00:11:33] necessary, but if it would help save [00:11:37] 25,000 lives a month or whatever it may [00:11:39] be, I would certainly be willing to do [00:11:41] that. Yeah, please. [00:11:44] >> No, behind you. [00:11:47] >> Are you Where are you from? [00:11:49] >> From Ukraine. [00:11:49] >> Good. I had a feeling. [00:11:51] >> Good. [00:11:56] >> On what? [00:11:59] >> Yeah, we discussed that at length today. [00:12:03] As you know, it's in pretty good shape. [00:12:04] It can start up immediately, almost [00:12:06] immediately. And it's one of the things [00:12:08] I discussed with President Putin and [00:12:12] they were talking about the nuclear [00:12:13] plant. That's probably the biggest in [00:12:16] the world. Just about the biggest [00:12:17] anywhere in the world. Can you believe [00:12:18] that? [00:12:20] And uh President Putin's actually [00:12:22] working with Ukraine on getting it open. [00:12:24] He's been very good in that sense. He [00:12:26] wants to see that uh open and uh he [00:12:30] hasn't hit it with missiles, hasn't hit [00:12:32] it with anything. It's a big danger to [00:12:34] do that for everybody, but they're [00:12:37] working together to try and get it. It [00:12:39] can it can open very quickly. It's in [00:12:41] pretty good shape. And the people there [00:12:43] have been there for years. The people [00:12:44] there running it. You know, they have [00:12:46] 5,000 people in that plant. Can you [00:12:47] believe it? I learned that today. 5,000 [00:12:50] people. It's the biggest plant of its [00:12:52] kind in the world. [00:12:53] >> And they're working together to get it [00:12:55] open. They could maybe get [00:12:56] [clears throat] it open quickly. [00:12:59] That's a big step. When he's not bombing [00:13:01] that plant, it's a big step. [00:13:03] >> Mr. In in the readout from the from [00:13:06] Moscow, they talked about the creation [00:13:08] of some working groups [00:13:10] >> uh that would be set. Can you tell us [00:13:11] about what those working groups entail? [00:13:14] And also if you would mind what what is [00:13:16] the message that you will give to Putin [00:13:18] when you speak to him after your [00:13:20] meeting? [00:13:20] >> So the working group is going to be [00:13:22] composed of Steve Steve Woodco, Jared [00:13:25] Kushner, [00:13:27] General Raisen Kaine, Marco Rubio, and [00:13:31] uh a few other people that we're going [00:13:33] to be putting on to it. I think Pete [00:13:36] Pete Hakes should be in that working [00:13:38] group. He knows the territory very well. [00:13:40] He's been fantastic at what he's doing. [00:13:43] uh and they may add one or two people [00:13:44] and likewise Ukraine's going to have [00:13:46] some very good people that were at lunch [00:13:48] today that enjoyed the lunch today a lot [00:13:50] more than they thought right but uh do [00:13:53] you want to say who may be on your [00:13:54] working group [00:13:55] >> yeah we uh now as I said that uh we work [00:13:59] with Steven Jarrett we worked uh and [00:14:03] worked our rust and also uh deputy [00:14:07] minister Gizlitz and also generalat and [00:14:10] they will continue work in this uh group [00:14:14] and uh of course if we will go further [00:14:17] and I hope that really we will have [00:14:18] decisions in January as I said about all [00:14:21] these documents six documents and of [00:14:23] course uh we will uh continue work on [00:14:26] this so they know what to do yes and [00:14:29] that working group by the way [00:14:31] importantly will also then be working [00:14:33] with Russia okay because to work with [00:14:36] ourselves doesn't really solve much of a [00:14:39] problem so they'll be working with [00:14:40] Russia yeah Please [00:14:43] this morning you weren't a deadline guy. [00:14:44] How long do you think it'll take to get [00:14:46] this last little bit as you say [00:14:47] finished? What are we talking about? [00:14:48] >> So if it went really well, you know, [00:14:50] maybe a few weeks and if it went poorly [00:14:53] longer and if it went really poorly, [00:14:55] it's not going to happen. That would be [00:14:57] a shame. There's that chance. Also, you [00:14:59] know, it's possible it doesn't happen. [00:15:02] But, you know, in a few weeks, we will [00:15:04] know one way or the other, I think. But, [00:15:07] uh, [00:15:08] >> but if it went if it went really well, [00:15:10] uh, but It could also go poorly. I mean, [00:15:13] you know, we could have something where [00:15:14] one item that you're not thinking about [00:15:16] as a big item breaks it up. Look, it's [00:15:19] been a very difficult negotiation. Very [00:15:21] detailed. It's funny. I set settled [00:15:23] eight wars. Somewhere some were going on [00:15:25] for 35 years [00:15:28] and we got them settled in a couple of [00:15:29] days. Some of them, one was going on for [00:15:32] 37 years. I settled in one day. But this [00:15:35] is a very complex one. [00:15:37] >> You want to put odds on it? What the [00:15:39] what the uh the battle? I think we'll [00:15:40] get it done. I don't want to say when, [00:15:42] but I think we're going to get it done. [00:15:44] Yes, ma'am. [00:15:44] >> Mr. [00:15:44] >> President, you in the past have [00:15:46] suggested a trilateral meeting between [00:15:47] both Presidents Putin and Zilinsky. Is [00:15:49] that something that is also um on the [00:15:51] docket? [00:15:52] >> I see that happening. Sure. At the right [00:15:54] time. I saw a very [00:15:58] uh interesting President Putin today. I [00:16:00] mean, he he wants to see it happen. He [00:16:03] wants to see it. He told me very [00:16:05] strongly. I believe him. don't forget we [00:16:08] went through the Russia Russia Russia [00:16:10] hoax together. And he'd call me, I'd [00:16:12] call him. I'd say, "Can you believe the [00:16:14] stuff that they're making up?" And it [00:16:15] turned out we were right. They made it [00:16:17] all up. And despite that, we didn't get [00:16:19] into wars or we didn't get into [00:16:21] problems, but we weren't able to trade [00:16:23] very much or any of that, which was a [00:16:25] shame because, you know, a lot of [00:16:28] success could have been had by trading [00:16:29] with Russia. They have great land, great [00:16:32] minerals, and other things. And we have [00:16:34] things that they want very badly. But [00:16:36] the Russia Russia Russia hoax which was [00:16:39] a terrible madeup fictional thing by [00:16:42] crooked Hillary and by Adam Shifty [00:16:45] Schiff and bad people sick people. They [00:16:47] made it up. It was all a madeup hoax. [00:16:50] But it kept us really from dealing with [00:16:52] Russia. Kept Russia dealing, you know, [00:16:55] from dealing with us. So, uh, but but [00:16:58] despite that, we got along and [00:17:02] I I don't know. I think we're going to [00:17:03] get there. I know I know him very well. [00:17:05] I think we're going to get there. [00:17:06] >> Did you uh discuss any uh time, [00:17:09] location, meeting place? [00:17:10] >> Yeah, we're discussing a lot of things. [00:17:12] No, we look I was on the phone with them [00:17:13] for almost I guess two and a half hours. [00:17:16] They're just telling me now. That's a [00:17:17] long time. We discussed a lot of things. [00:17:19] We didn't talk about the weather. We [00:17:21] weren't talking about how what a [00:17:23] beautiful day it is in Palm Beach, [00:17:24] Florida. [00:17:25] >> Yes. [00:17:26] >> Trump, President Sullinsky mentioned [00:17:27] maybe a meeting with European leaders [00:17:29] back in Washington. Would that be in the [00:17:31] next few weeks? [00:17:31] >> Well, in Washington or someplace. Yeah, [00:17:33] these leaders that I just read, these [00:17:35] are great people. You know, they've [00:17:37] spent a lot of money on helping Ukraine. [00:17:41] Look, they're doing it for themselves [00:17:42] also, meaning their country because [00:17:44] Ukraine's a very important country. Uh [00:17:47] for them in particular, for us, it's [00:17:50] very important to me. It's their lives [00:17:52] that, you know, we're thousands and [00:17:55] thousands of mile. We're protected by a [00:17:56] thing called the Atlantic Ocean and lots [00:17:59] of other places to be honest. and uh [00:18:01] they're not, you know, they're right [00:18:03] there, but we're working together with [00:18:05] them as we should be, but I'm doing it [00:18:07] to save lives. You know, we're not [00:18:09] spending any money. Biden gave $350 [00:18:11] billion away. And the president was nice [00:18:14] enough to give us a contract to take out [00:18:16] rare earth and things, so we'll see what [00:18:18] how that all works out. We we have a [00:18:20] contract, but but uh we we appreciated [00:18:23] that. He was very good. But but we'll [00:18:26] see how that works out. But if you think [00:18:28] about it, uh, we're going to have we're [00:18:31] I I really believe we're probably, Mr. [00:18:33] President, closer than by far closer [00:18:35] than ever before with both parties. We [00:18:38] had some times when he was close and [00:18:40] President Putin wasn't. Then we would [00:18:42] have President Putin was close and he [00:18:44] wasn't. You saw that in the White House, [00:18:47] Mark, but uh but I think they both want [00:18:50] to see it happen. [00:18:51] >> Mr. [00:18:55] said multiple times that you want [00:18:57] killing and nearly 100 American [00:18:59] citizens. [00:19:01] >> Yeah. [00:19:02] >> What's your message to [00:19:05] love? [00:19:07] >> Well, look, I mean, the message is so [00:19:09] obvious. It's what a shame they died in [00:19:13] a country, a foreign country, and uh [00:19:16] some are celebrated people. They're very [00:19:18] celebrated, but so sad that a thing like [00:19:21] that would happen. Yes, ma'am. President [00:19:23] Trump, [00:19:24] >> obviously security is is a is a major [00:19:26] issue for the Ukrainians, right? Did you [00:19:28] offer any promises, any assurances [00:19:29] today? Can you [00:19:30] >> I did I did we want to work with Europe [00:19:33] and Europe is going to take over a big [00:19:35] part of it as you can imagine. You know, [00:19:37] they're right there, but we're going to [00:19:39] help Europe 100%. Like they'd help us. [00:19:42] Yes, ma'am. You were going to say so. [00:19:43] >> Yeah. I was just going to ask when [00:19:44] you're talking with Andrea Shal with [00:19:46] Reuters. [00:19:47] >> That's what I thought. [00:19:48] >> Yeah. So in your conversation with [00:19:49] President Putin, did you discuss what [00:19:52] responsibility Russia will have for any [00:19:54] kind of reconstruction of Ukraine post [00:19:56] an agreement? [00:19:57] >> I did. [00:19:58] >> They're going to be helping. Russia is [00:20:00] going to be helping. Russia wants to see [00:20:02] Ukraine succeed once. It sounds a little [00:20:05] strange, but I was explaining to the [00:20:07] president uh President Putin was very [00:20:11] generous in his feeling toward Ukraine [00:20:14] succeeding, including supplying energy, [00:20:17] electricity, and other things at very [00:20:19] low prices. So, a lot of lot of good [00:20:22] things came out of that call today, but [00:20:24] they were in the works for two weeks [00:20:25] with Steve and with Jared and Marco and [00:20:28] everybody. Did did Russia agree or did [00:20:30] Putin agree to a ceasefire to allow a [00:20:34] referendum to take? [00:20:35] >> Not a ceasefire [00:20:37] and that's one of the points that we're [00:20:38] working on right now. No, not a [00:20:40] ceasefire. He feels that look, you know, [00:20:42] they're fighting and to stop and then to [00:20:44] if they have to start again, which is a [00:20:46] possibility. He doesn't want to be in [00:20:48] that position. I understand that [00:20:49] position. [00:20:51] Uh the president feels strongly about [00:20:54] that or something. But I think we're [00:20:56] finding ways that we can get around [00:20:58] that. But I understand President Putin [00:21:00] from that standpoint. You know, you have [00:21:01] to understand the other side. [00:21:04] And you know, I'm on the side of peace. [00:21:07] I'm on the side of stopping the war. So, [00:21:09] but I I think that's uh that's a problem [00:21:12] that's going to get solved. Yeah. [00:21:14] >> Would people who live outside of [00:21:16] Ukrainians who fled during the war be [00:21:18] allowed to participate in the [00:21:20] referendum? [00:21:21] >> What do you mean? People are live. [00:21:23] people that left we have if we speak [00:21:26] about the people who are abroad who are [00:21:28] not on on the territory of Ukraine you [00:21:30] mean that as in Poland in Germany we [00:21:33] have millions of people yeah they have a [00:21:35] referendum in the same of elections the [00:21:38] same way how people come and vote they [00:21:41] have rights for this and of course they [00:21:42] have to come that's why if we will come [00:21:44] to referendum yes if we will come to [00:21:46] such decision people need uh [00:21:50] infrastructure for this and it's not [00:21:52] simple and that's We spoke about it. It [00:21:54] can't be in one day very quickly. It's [00:21:57] difficult because we need [00:21:58] infrastructure. When you have millions [00:21:59] of people, you have to build it in [00:22:01] Europe, mostly in Europe for today. [00:22:05] >> President Trump, I know you you sound an [00:22:07] optimistic note here, but what happens [00:22:08] in a few weeks if if things sputter? [00:22:11] What are you prepared to do? [00:22:12] >> They keep fighting and they keep dying. [00:22:15] No good. But if things don't happen, [00:22:18] they keep fighting and they keep dying. [00:22:22] And we don't want that to happen. He [00:22:23] doesn't want it to happen. President [00:22:25] Putin doesn't want it to happen either. [00:22:27] >> Okay. Thank you very much, everybody. [00:22:29] Appreciate it. Great. Thank you. [00:22:33] >> Thank you. [00:22:35] >> Thank you. [00:22:35] >> I don't know. Was it a good lunch? [00:22:37] >> Yes, sir. [00:22:37] >> There's no lunch. He walked in. He said, [00:22:39] "This place is gorgeous. I don't think [00:22:40] he wants to go to the White House [00:22:42] anymore." That's the problem. [00:22:44] >> I'm ready to go. [00:22:45] >> I know. We are. [laughter] It is. It is. [00:22:48] The White House is a very special place [00:22:50] and so is this. [00:22:51] >> I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you very [00:22:53] much. [00:22:54] >> Thank you.
