Tell you this Leo Off. 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: He's out of the blocks and running, isn't it. 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: He's on the move. He's been having a flurry of 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: diplomatic meetings. He had his big inauguration on Sunday, which 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 2: you might have seen two hundred thousand people around Saint 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Peter's Square for that major event, and some world leaders 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 2: and royalty there as well, of course, so he's very busy, 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: but a big day to day. He met Vice President 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 2: j d Vance and Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: and several other leaders today, including the Australian Prime Minister 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: Antony alban As. 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: Indeed, he did Trump sent him a letter, so he's 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: presumably going to the White House at some point. 15 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm just wondering if we might see Donald Trump 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: over this side of the pond first, because after that 17 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: historic phone call he had today with Vladimir Persian, the 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: Russian President, there was a big phone call between Georgia 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: Maloney and mccron and Mertz from Joe and in the 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: statement that I saw from Maloney's office just five minutes ago, 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: there was a suggestion that Pope Leo may host those 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: piece talks at the Vaticans, so we might see Trump 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: over here. 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: Do you get the vibe out of those phone calls 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: I've read what's been said is are there piece talks 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: to be held? I mean, we held out for Turkey 27 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: last week and nothing happened. 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we seem to be going round in circles, don't we. 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: And I don't know that President Zelenski's any more confident. 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: But he was shaking a few hands here. He was 31 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: here for the inauguration and he had a private meeting 32 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: with the Pope as well.
