0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Good morning. I'm Lisa Matteo and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>are the stories we're following today.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Karen, we begin with the latest efforts for a piece

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 3>deal between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump called the Vladimir

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 3>Putin and urged the Russian leader to begin making plans

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>for a summit with Vladimir Zlynsky.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 4>The proposal, which.

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 3>President Trump pitched as a one on one summit between

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.919
<v Speaker 3>Ukraine and Russia's leaders, would be followed by a tri

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 3>later gathering involving all three. Here's Lensky, President Trump, UK

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister kir Stormer, and French President Macrone at the

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 3>White House. Is heard right here on Bloomberg Radio yesterday.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 5>We need to stove this word to stop Russia, and

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 5>we need support American and European.

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 6>Batist muld Awa best for this.

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 7>If everything works out well today, we'll have a try, Lad,

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 7>and I think there will be a reasonable chance of ending.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 8>The war when we do that.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 9>The Coalition of Willing Countries that's thirty countries already working

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 9>together on security guarantees, will now work with the US

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 9>on those guarantees.

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 10>My hope is that the United States do the most

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 10>possible because that's what will allow us to alleviate the

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 10>burden on Europe, and that the United States also confirm

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 10>its commitments because that was a big question mark.

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, that was French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer,

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 3>Presidents Trump and Zelensky speaking at the White House yesterday.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Only so Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hopeful negotiations

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 2>will begin between Russia and Ukraine. He spoke to Fox

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.839
<v Speaker 2>News after the White House gathering.

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 11>Now, the President suggested that Zelensky and Putin meet, so

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 11>we're working on that now to try to set that

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 11>up for them to meet somewhere, which again would be unprecedented,

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 11>and then if that goes well, hopefully the next meeting

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 11>will be a meeting between Presidents Putin, Trump and Zelensky

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 11>where we hope to finalize a deal. We're not there yet,

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 11>but that's what we're aiming towards, and that's one of

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 11>the things that was discussed today is how to get

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 11>to that point.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Marco Rubio, speaking of Fun News, European officials say they

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>expect another virtual meeting with President Trump as soon as

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>today to discuss what security guarantees they could collectively offered

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>to Kiev.

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and it still remains to be seen if when

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.519
<v Speaker 3>Zelenski and Putin will meet. Stephanie Baker is a senior

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 3>writer at Bloomberg News and also author of Punishing Putin

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Inside the Global Economic War to bring Down Russia.

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 9>What Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has been saying

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 9>is that that that talks to set that meeting up

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 9>are actively in the works. Putin has tried to avoid

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 9>this by saying certain conditions need to be met before

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 9>they sit down together, and those conditions are really a

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 9>buzzword for that Ukraine needs to give up territory or

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 9>agree to give up territory, which Zelensky's not going to do.

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 8>So I think that.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 9>There are hurdles to setting up that meeting, and it

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 9>does look to me that Putin may be playing for

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 9>time again. But you know, maybe under the pressure from Trump,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 9>you know, Putin will indeed agree to sit down, But

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 9>I think he's going to demand an awful lot in

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 9>the talks ahead of time Well Bloomberg.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Stephanie Baker now German Chancellor Fridrick Meertzi said that a

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 3>possible Putin's and Lensky summit. Well, that could take place

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 3>within two weeks.

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Lisa, the Trump administration is weighing taking a ten percent

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>steak in Intel, which would make the US government the

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>chip maker's largest shareholder. Sources say the plan could involve

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>converting Intel's ten point nine billion dollars in ships at

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>grants into equity. Begin more from Bloomberg's Ryan Gould.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 5>I think this is as much about ensuring Intel's longevity

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 5>in terms of what the United States government thinks of

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 5>as national security. I think this is an evolving situation,

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 5>and we should caution that these plans are still very

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 5>much in flux. They're very fluid.

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg's Ryan Gould. At Intel's current market value, a ten

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>percent steak in the shipmaker would be worth about ten

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half billion dollars.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, meanwhile, SoftBank has agreed to buy two billion dollars

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 3>in Intel. Now, it's a move that extends a Japanese

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>company's US investment effort and offers a vote of confidence

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 3>in the struggling chip maker. Shares of Intel there up

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 3>about six percent in early trading.

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And Lisa, there is more major news this morning involving

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the chip sector Routers is reporting in videos developing an

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>AI chips specifically for China, which will be more powerful

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>than the H twenty model. Reuters says in video hopes

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to deliver samples to Chinese clients for testing as early

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:34.559
<v Speaker 2>as next month. However, US regulatory approval is not guaranteed.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 3>And presidents from sweeping tariffs have royal markets, unnerved trade

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 3>partners and provoke criticism from leading economists.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 4>But there is an upside.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 3>The levies will help the US maintain its fiscal health now.

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.679
<v Speaker 3>That's according to S and P Global Ratings. The credit

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 3>rating company has affirmed it's a double A plus long

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 3>term rating for the US, in part because it thinks

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 3>tariff revenues will reduce the fiscal hit of a recent

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 3>tax and spending bill on Lisa.

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's turn to the MA markets now, where futures are

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>a little changed ahead of the day's session, and Morgan

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Stanley Chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson says he remains

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>bullish on the markets.

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 12>A sixty twelve month basis. I actually feel better today

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 12>than I have in quite a while on the fundamentals. Now,

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 12>the stock market is already dis kind of a lot

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 12>of this. This is, you know, stocks trade ahead of

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 12>the of the data, so you know we are going

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 12>to have some sort of consolidation. We've been running about

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 12>that too, probably in the third quarter at some point,

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 12>but we'd be buyers to that. That's the main message

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 12>is that we think we're sort of beginning a new

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.280
<v Speaker 12>bull market in April. We're not going anywhere near those lows.

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Morgan Stanley chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson has a

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>year end price target of sixty five hundred for the

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>yes and P five hundred. The index closed at sixty

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>four forty nine yesterday.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Well earnings remain in focus.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 3>This morning, Karen, we start to get the latest quarterly

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 3>numbers from the country's biggest retailers. This morning, we'll hear

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 3>from Home Depot. Bloomberg's Tom Busby has a preview.

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 13>Home Depot expected to post a rise in comparable sales

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 13>despite worries about lower spending on major home improvement projects

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 13>and fears about tariff driven price hikes. A big discussion

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 13>on the call would be a potential rate cut in

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 13>September and what the implications are for the retailer. Bloomberg

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 13>consensus calls for comp sales rise one point three nine percent,

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 13>with total revenue a forty five point four to nine

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 13>billion on adjusted earnings per share of four dollars seventy

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 13>four cents. Tom buzzby Bloomberg Radio, All right.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Tom, thank you. The big economic event this week takes

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>place in Wyoming. The Kansas City Fed's Annual Economic Policy

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Symposium kicks off Thursday in Jackson Hole. Then Fed share J.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Powell gives you remarks on Friday. Bloomberg's Michael McKee is

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>in Jackson Hole covering Powell and the Fed.

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 7>He can lay out the issues I think, the fact

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 7>that they don't know whether it's inflation or jobs that

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 7>are going to be a bigger problem, and he'll probably

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 7>do that, and he may talk about the framework review.

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 7>The idea that he would come out and give the

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 7>markets the heads up that they are going to cut

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 7>in September as he did last year is probably a

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 7>bridge too far for them.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Michael McKee is a key part of Bloomberg's Jackson Hole coverage.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>It all finishes up with a special edition of Bloomberg

<v Speaker 2>Alloway will be taping several conversations from the event as well.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Time now for look at some of the other stories

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>making news in New York and around the world, and

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael, good Morning.

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 14>Good morning Karen. Hurricane Aeron is expected to impact the

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 14>outer banks of North Carolina, sending massive waves crashing into

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 14>the island. Bloomberg Medior religiust Craig Allen has.

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 8>The latest Hurricane Aeron, still a major hurricane, wins running

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.239
<v Speaker 8>around one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 8>miles per hour now, still very dangerous as it sits

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 8>out over the open waters. It will not make landfall.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 8>It will pass to the north of the Turks and

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 8>Caicos as well as the Bahamas. It definitely has slowed down.

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 8>It's only moving at about five to ten miles per

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.239
<v Speaker 8>hour now, but eventually we'll start on a northerly track

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 8>as we get on into Wednesday, and by Thursday and

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 8>Friday it accelerates off to the north and East.

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 14>Bloomberg Media religious Craig Allen aerin his forecast, caused life

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 14>threatening rip currents along the East Coast from Florida up

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 14>to Maine. Hamas said it has agreed to a deal

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 14>proposed by Cutter and Egypt to pause the militant group's

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 14>war with Israel and Gaza. The proposal would see Hamas

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 14>release half of the hostages it still holds in return

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 14>for the freeing of Palestinian prisoners and a partial withdrawal

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 14>of Israeli troops. After two weeks of fleeing in protest,

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 14>Sexas House Democrats returned to the state Monday. Their homecoming

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 14>allows the Republican Landhouse to pass a redrawn congressional map

<v Speaker 6>it's always always really good at obviously getting to sweep

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 6>and heading into an off day, but they're just we

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.000

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 4>It is five twelve on Wall Street.

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 3>We'll after meeting with Russia's President Vladimir Putin Ukraine Vladimir

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 3>zelenskape Usident Trump is now moving to set up talks

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 3>between the two leaders. So here with the very latest

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 3>on the developments is Tina Fordham. She's found a r

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 3>at Fordham Global Foresight. Tina, thanks for joining me this morning.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 3>You are the expert in the field of geopolitical risks,

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 3>so I have to start right off the bat by

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 3>asking you. You know Putin has been reluctant to meet

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 3>with Zelensky. Is this meeting? Is it going to take place?

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 15>Thanks Lisa, So Putin does not want to be caught

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 15>dead in a trilateral construct between himself, President Trump and

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 15>Ukrainian President Zelenski, and we'll like the stonewall to prevent

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 15>this from happening. But he's going to find it challenging

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 15>because President Trump is very keen to make this happen,

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 15>and of course it is the logical next step in

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 15>these negotiations.

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 3>So what would be discussed during this is it mainly

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 3>territorial issues.

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 15>Well, we don't really have a lot of insight into

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 15>how President Trump conducts these meetings. I mean, there is

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 15>an argument that says, you know, his unconventional approach to diplomacy,

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 15>which is much less constrained by diplomatic protocol for example,

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 15>you know, could result in some kind of breakthroughs in

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 15>just you know, knocking heads and getting things done. But

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 15>as President Trump himself said during the televised bit of

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 15>his conversation with European leaders, he thought that the Russia

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 15>Ukraine conflict would be the easiest to solve the of

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 15>the many that he's turned his attention to. And it's

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 15>in fact really complex, and that gets to the heart

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 15>of the disconnect really between his transactional approach and how

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 15>The fact is that the seeds of any potential next

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 15>crisis or alternatively to create a durable and lasting piece,

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 15>are going to result from the terms of this deal.

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 15>And if we continue to think in terms of you know,

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 15>this liver of territory in eastern Ukraine, that the don

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 15>Bass as being inconsequential, we're going to fail to miss

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 15>the point, which is, how do you create a peace

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 15>deal between Russia and Ukraine that isn't simply post postponing

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 15>a Russian attack to go back and get what they

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 15>failed in this latest incursion.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Tina, I want to talk about the meeting yesterday. The

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>tone between President Trump and Zelensky yesterday notably improved from

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 3>the Ukrainian friends last visit to Washington.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Can you talk more about what was different this time around?

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 15>Well, Zilensky clearly learned lessons from that disastrous February meeting,

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 15>which you know resulted in a in a shouting match

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 15>between Vice President vance President Trump and President Zelenski. You

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 15>could see, you know, Ukrainian reporters in the in the

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 15>press conference in Tea years it was a spectacle for

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 15>the ages Uh and Zelensky couldn't risk that happening again.

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 15>Of course, he's had subsequent meetings with President Trump since

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 15>the February Oval Office showdown, most notably on the sidelines

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 15>of the Pope's funeral in the Vatican, and what was

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:29.040
<v Speaker 15>evident is a much improved, almost shockingly better rapport between

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 15>Zielensky and Trump. Some minor details that that underscore the

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 15>preparation and the thought that it went into this on

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 15>Zelensky's part, you know, not just wearing the black jacket

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.239
<v Speaker 15>he wore to the Pope's funeral rather than the military

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 15>fatigues which Silensky wears as a sign that his country

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 15>is at war.

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 6>You know.

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 15>But he he joked with the same reporter who had

0:15:55.200 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 15>dressed him down no pun intended for his attire, you know,

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 15>on the last press conference, and he joked with him

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 15>and said, yeah, you're wearing the same suit I changed

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 15>and you didn't.

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 4>And then you know.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 15>Which was which was really you know, added some much

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 15>needed levity to the discussions.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 4>I was also touched.

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 15>By, you know, the the gesture where, uh, first the

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 15>First Lady of Ukraine returned Milania Trump's letter to President Trump.

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 15>She the First Lady of Ukraine, responded with her own

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 15>letter to Milania, and those kinds of things really work

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:43.120
<v Speaker 15>with President Trump, he appreciates these kinds of gestures.
