1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Scott Channon, and thanks to all

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: of you for being with us. Happy Monday. We've got

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: a ton of news to get to today, but we've

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: got to begin with some breaking news. We see French

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: President Macron is at the White House with Donald Trump.

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: They started a joint presser a little while ago. We'll

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: start it from the top. Well, we probably won't play

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: the whole thing. We'll play it as long as we

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: think it's valuable.

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Thank you very much everyone. Great honor to be here

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: with my friend.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm delighted to welcome President McCrone back to the White House.

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: We've been together quite often, but not that often.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: In the White House, we honored the President first Lady

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: of France not so long ago. There was a beautiful

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: evening and we will not toun forget it. It was

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: a beautiful day and evening and many fond memory. I

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: also want to thank Emmanuel for hosting me in Paris

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: last December after our historic election win to witness the

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: reopening of these spectacular Notre Dame Cathedral, where you did

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: an outstanding job and bringing it back together. That was

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: a sad day watching that burn, and five years later

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: you had it up and it was they say, more

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: beautiful than it was before.

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: So I think that's a great achievement. It's not easy.

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: France is America's oldest ally. Our cherished partnership has been

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: a force for freedom, prosperity.

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: And peace from the very beginning.

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: We're now working on some very interesting developments. One in particular,

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: as you know, the war between Russia and Ukraine and

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: the American Revolution, French support helped us to seize our

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: destiny as an independent nation.

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: In the First and Second World Wars.

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: Our citizens shed blood together on the battlefields of Europe.

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: And I'll never forget adjoining President Macrone years ago in

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: the seventy fifth anniversary of D Day.

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: That was some day. The purpose of.

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: Our meeting today is to end another battle, a really

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: horrible one, a war something that we haven't seen since

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 3: the Second World War that is ravaging European soil, the

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: deadliest and most destructive conflict that one can imagine. I've

42
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: seen the pictures, I've seen the satellite photos and lots

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: of other photos, and it's a horrible thing that's happening.

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: Thousands of people are dying a week. This very day

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: is the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, which

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: would never have happened if I was president.

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: That was not going to happen. The horrors of.

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: This gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated. Hundreds

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: of thousands of people, Russians and Ukrainians in particular, have

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 3: needlessly died. An entire generation of Ukrainians and Russian men

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: has been decimated. One thousand year old cities have been

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: turned into rubble. Those beautiful spires that you used to

53
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: see there, they were most beautiful in the world, are

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: lying in heaps of rubble, blasted to smitherines. It's time

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: to end his blood letting and restore peace, and I

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: think we're going to do it. We've had some great conversations,

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: including with Russia, since my return to the White House.

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: We've made more progress toward that goal in one month

59
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: than occurred in the past three years. And I've spoken

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: with both President Putin and President Zelenski, and again, a

61
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: lot of good things toward peace are happening, moving it,

62
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: I think pretty quickly. Last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

63
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: national Security Advisor Michael Watson, Special Envoy Steve Woodcuff conducted

64
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: successful talks in Saudi Arabia with the delegation from Russia,

65
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: and I'd like to thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: and the King and Mohammed, great people really working hard

67
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: to get this done. Our focus is on achieving a

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: ceasefire as soon as possible and ultimately a permanent peace.

69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: My meeting with President Macrone today was another important step forward.

70
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: And well that is here because he's been very much

71
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: involved right from the beginning and trying to get it

72
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: over that we're going to get it done. I believe

73
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: that Immanuel agrees with me and many of the most

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: important dishes.

75
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: Chief among them is this is the right time. It

76
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: may be the only time.

77
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: You know, that's a very interesting and horrible situation, and

78
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: that could evolve into a Third World War.

79
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: We're not going to let that happen.

80
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 3: Should have never started, but it did, and what a mess,

81
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: What a horrible, bloody mess. I'm also pleased at Resident

82
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Macron agrees that the cost and burden of securing the

83
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: peace must be borne by the nations of Europe, not

84
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: alone by the United States, and Europe must take that

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: central role in assuring long term security of Ukraine, which

86
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: they want to do, and that's not a.

87
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: Very big step.

88
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: A big step is what's going to happen over the

89
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: next few weeks. The United States has put up far

90
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: more aid for Ukraine than any other nation, the hundreds

91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: of billions of dollars. We've spent more than three hundred

92
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 3: billion and Europe has spent about one hundred one hundred billion.

93
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: That's a big difference, and at some point we should equalize.

94
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: But hopefully we won't have to worry about that. We

95
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: have other things happening that maybe take that out of

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: the realm of necessity. And while we've given vast amounts

97
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: of military aid and money in form of grants, much

98
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: of Europe's contribution has been economic relief, structured as loans

99
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: for which they'll be repaid. Like the Europeans, I believe

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: that taxpayers and the United States also deserve to recoup

101
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: the colossal amounts of money that we've sent. The previous

102
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: administration never even thought of that. They didn't think of

103
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: a lot of things, like why did they let it

104
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: start in the first place. That is why we must

105
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: have an agreement with Ukraine on critical minerals and rarersts

106
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: and various other things. As security, and I think that

107
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: that's happening. I think we've made a lot of progress.

108
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: I had a report just given to me before walking

109
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: in that we've made, Immanuel a great deal of progress

110
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: toward getting that. I've been elected by the American people

111
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: to restore common sense to Washington and indeed.

112
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: To the world.

113
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 3: And I believe strongly that it's in the best interests

114
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: of the United States, the best interest in Europe, the

115
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: best interests of Ukraine, and indeed the best interest of

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 3: Russia to stop the killing.

117
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: Now and bring the world to peace.

118
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: My administration is making a decisive break with the foreign

119
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: policy failures of the past administration, and frankly, the past

120
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: I ran against a very foolish foreign policy establishment, and

121
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: their recklessness has led to the death of many many people.

122
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: Under our administration, we're forging a new path that promotes

123
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: peace around the world.

124
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: And when I left office for the.

125
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: First administration, first term, we had no wars, we had

126
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: no problems. We didn't have October seventh with Israel, we

127
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: didn't have Russia and Ukraine going at it. We didn't

128
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: have the problems in other parts of the Middle East.

129
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: We didn't have inflation. It was a whole different world.

130
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: And you know what else, we didn't have millions of

131
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: people pouring through our borders, many of them criminals released

132
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: from other nations and put right into our land. Murderers

133
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: and drug dealers, gangs. We didn't have any of that.

134
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: It's a different time. But now we have it and

135
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: we're fixing it. We'll fix it all up. We'll get

136
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: it done as quickly as possible. And we've made a

137
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: great deal of progress. People are saying it was the

138
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: best month for a president in our country's history.

139
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: I hope that's right, but I feel it's right.

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: We've done a lot of things in a very short

141
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: period of time, four weeks. As I've said before, it's

142
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: my hope that my greatest legacy, however, will be as

143
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: a peacemaker and a unifier.

144
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: I want to bring peace, not war. I thank President.

145
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: Mccron for joining us today in this urgent work we're doing.

146
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: We have some wonderful people up front right here that

147
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: have worked so hard.

148
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: Steve Whitcoff, thank you very much.

149
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: Michael Wallace, thank you, Scott, thank you very much, and JD.

150
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: Thank you.

151
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: They've really done They've really done a job that worked

152
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: very hard. It's like it's a real passion to get

153
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: this war ended. And i'd like to now you invite

154
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: a man you well, to say a few words and

155
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: then we'll take questions. And again, Emmanuel, it's a great

156
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: honor to have you with us at the White House.

157
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

158
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: Please, thank you, thank you, mister President. Thank you didn't

159
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: know ministers, ladies and gentlemen, Madame.

160
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen. I'll be saying a few words in French.

161
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, mister President, Dear Donald for your

162
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: hospitality and for this visit. As you mentioned, we have

163
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: had the opportunity to meet over the past few years

164
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: since your first term. We've been able to discuss matters

165
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: in Paris and also here at the White House, and

166
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: it has always been great joy to do that. And

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 5: I would like to commend you and thank you, mister President,

168
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 5: for extending this friendship to France and taking part in

169
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: the ceremony at Notre Dame that you mentioned before. It

170
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: was a great honor for the French people to reopen

171
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: the cathedral to the rest of the world, and your

172
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 5: presence was a testament to that friendship. As the President said,

173
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 5: this friendship dates back to the Revolutionary War, since the

174
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: beginning of the United States, and whenever we've needed to,

175
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 5: we've been able to come together and be on the

176
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: right side. We've been able to be united to defend

177
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: peace and sovereignty, namely in the two World Wars that

178
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 5: marked the twentieth century, from Lafayette to Pershing and to

179
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 5: the many Americans who landed on Omaha Beach. And we

180
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 5: spoke earlier before, and you mentioned that one of those

181
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 5: gentlemen was able to visit you here, one of the veterans.

182
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: This is part of history which puts us in the

183
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 5: world that we are in today. And as the President

184
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: just said, there are many challenges in this world, and

185
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: over the past few days, we have one main objective,

186
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 5: which is the geopolitical situation. Mister President, I really wish

187
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 5: to thank you for making changes to your schedule to

188
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 5: meet with us so quickly. I think we've made very

189
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: substantive steps forward during our discussions, and this is a

190
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 5: major step in what we're experiencing today. We had a

191
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 5: video conference with all of the G seven leaders, which

192
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: was an opportunity for us to discuss this matter. Three

193
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 5: days after the Russian War in Ukraine and to express

194
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 5: our support for President Zelenski to the Ukrainian people, but

195
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 5: also to speak and share about our desire for a

196
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 5: lasting peace. This is what we have spoken about very

197
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: forcibly over the past few weeks. We thought that this

198
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 5: war was only going to last a few weeks when

199
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 5: it broke out in twenty twenty two. We admire greatly

200
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: the courage of the Ukrainian people, and mister President, I

201
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: wish to thank you for this.

202
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: All right, we continue our coverage to joint press conference

203
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: with President Emmanuel Macrone of France and President Donald Trump.

204
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: For stations along the Sean Hannity Show network, we will

205
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: continue our coverage through this break. Take the heartbreak at

206
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: the bottom of this half hour for programming purposes. As

207
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: we go back to the White House.

208
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 5: You mentioned that there are responsibilities on europe side, and

209
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: indeed we have invested one hundred and twenty eight billion

210
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: in aid to Ukraine and the Ukrainians. Ukraine has been

211
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 5: able to hold the front of our collective security. It's

212
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 5: fought over these past few years for its independence and

213
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: for its sovereignty, but also for our collective security. Because

214
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: I think that no one in this room wants to

215
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 5: live in a world where it's the law of the

216
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 5: strongest and international borders can be violated from one day

217
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: to the next by anyone. Over the past few hours,

218
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 5: and as you mentioned this, mister President, we've been able

219
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 5: to see a few things take shape. First of all,

220
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 5: allow me to commend you on your decision to work

221
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 5: with President Zelensky and to conclude this agreement that's so

222
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: important for the US and Ukraine on rare Earth's critical minerals.

223
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: But also having substantive conversations with President Selensky doing this

224
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 5: key phase of achieving this deal, which is a major

225
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, and I think that's very commendable.

226
00:13:54,080 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 5: We also have a shared desire to build peace. We

227
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 5: will have this responsibility. This is ten years after the

228
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 5: war started in Crimea and then we saw the events

229
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: and the Dnbas region and along the northern part of

230
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: the country. We want to save lives, we want to

231
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 5: bring prisoners back and bring back families and children, because

232
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 5: there's also humanitarian tragedy affecting the Ukrainian people. We had

233
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: lengthy discussions with the President and we spoke about our

234
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 5: desire to bring an end to conflicts to have a

235
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 5: truce that is measurable, verifiable, and that enables negotiation of

236
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 5: a lasting piece. What we will discuss not only Ukraine's

237
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: reconstruction its territories, but also the security guarantees, meaning maintaining

238
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: peace over the long term. As I said to the President,

239
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 5: we've experienced peace of chords that were only ceasefires without

240
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 5: ensuring security guarantees Mints One and two, and we want

241
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 5: to make sure this doesn't happen again. And I know

242
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 5: that the President has expressed the desire to be a

243
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 5: player for peace in the region. I've spoken with some

244
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: thirty European leaders and allies in recent days. We want

245
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: to bring together these allis allies rather and share the

246
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 5: same vision. This piece must not mean a surrender of Ukraine.

247
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: It must not mean a ceasefire without guarantees. This peace

248
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 5: must allow for Ukrainian sovereignty and allow Ukraine to negotiate

249
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: with other stakeholders regarding the issues it affects. That affects

250
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: it rather, but it is also a country in which

251
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: we need to shoulder our responsibilities so that we ensure

252
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 5: security and stability for Ukraine and for the entire region

253
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: and for US Europeans. This is an existential ear issue.

254
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: We also spoke about these issues at like with the President.

255
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: We've worked with President Solenske and gotten to some of

256
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: the details of the various phases of the negotiation, and

257
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 5: we've also been able to speak about some of this

258
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: work with our British partners, to talk about deployments of

259
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: peace forces on Ukrainian soil which are part of these

260
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 5: security guarantees. Other countries are ready to join in this effort.

261
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: Solidarity and support from the US will be crucial to

262
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 5: this and I thank you, mister President for beginning to

263
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: work with us on this issue and the agreement that

264
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: you are preparing to sign with Ukraine. And with all

265
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: this discussions, we've had our very solid guarantees that we

266
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: are understood that we have the same wish peace as

267
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 5: soon as possible, lasting solid peace for everyone, and the

268
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 5: renewal of an international situation where we are all able

269
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 5: to shoulder our responsibilities, Europeans shouldering their responsibilities alongside their

270
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 5: American allies who will shoulder their own responsibilities. I also

271
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 5: wanted to be very clear, mister President, about Europe's commitment.

272
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: We have committed to building a lasting piece. As Europeans,

273
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 5: we have committed to being stakeholders in these security guarantees,

274
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: and we are also well aware that Europeans need to

275
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: do more for security in Europe, for defense in Europe,

276
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: and to more fairly share the security board and burden

277
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 5: that your country has been caring for so many years.

278
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 5: Mister President, you know how much friendship I show towards you,

279
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: and I have towards you since your first term. Europe

280
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 5: is very clear eyed about this. We know what we

281
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 5: need to do as Europeans, given the threats surrounding us

282
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 5: and the responsibilities that we must shoulder. We spoke about

283
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: the Versailles Agenda, which allowed the Europeans to take a

284
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 5: historic step and increase their investments. Europeans are ready to

285
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 5: do even more and to go even farther, and several

286
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: leaders said that to me before I came here to

287
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 5: meet you, Mister President, Dear Donald, you spoke about this

288
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 5: peace through strength. We fully share that because we must

289
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 5: recognize the sacrifices made by the Ukrainian people and what

290
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: we owe to them. The President and I also spoke

291
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: about economic matters and our desire to see more prosperity

292
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 5: in the United States and in Europe. We had discussions

293
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: which will be carried on by our teams, our ministers

294
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: and secretaries to flesh out some of those ideas. But

295
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: the idea is to have fair competition and no bias

296
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: within competition between our industries. Now, the American and European

297
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 5: economies are extremely intertwined, some one point five billion in trade,

298
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 5: a trillion rather in goods and services. And I know

299
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 5: you've spoken about wanting to look at the balance of payments.

300
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 5: We also have a trade deficit deficit, and I know

301
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 5: that we need to look not only at goods but

302
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: also digital items and goods which you export. And we

303
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: want to make a sincere commitment towards fair competition where

304
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: we have smooth trade and more investments. You already invest

305
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 5: a great deal in France, and France is the fifth

306
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 5: most the fifth largest investor in the United States. And

307
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: I would like to recognize here all of the American

308
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 5: investors who announced investments some one hundred and twenty billion

309
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 5: dollars that were announced at the AI summit. This is

310
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 5: our wish. We want to have more prosperity on both

311
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 5: sides of the Atlantic. We have a shared agenda in

312
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: that regard. We also spoke about the Middle East, among

313
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 5: other subjects, and here again we have the same desire

314
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 5: we don't want to see.

315
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: All right, joined press conference with French President Macron and

316
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: President Trump at the White House and covering obviously a

317
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: variety of topics, but more specifically focusing in on Ukraine.

318
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: We'll get back to this and pick it up where

319
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: we left off on the other side of this break.

320
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: All right back to the White House, President Trump and

321
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: French President Macron.

322
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Brian. Would you like to ask

323
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: a question, Well.

324
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 6: A President, I'll just want to touch upon so quickly,

325
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: the Harvard Pole that came out that had thank you

326
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 6: very much. The Harvard Pole that came out had you

327
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: up nine plus points, and all of your agenda that

328
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: you ran on, you're accomplishing that You've got the support

329
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 6: of the American people, including stopping the war in Ukraine.

330
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 6: If you can comment on the latest Harvard Pole, I

331
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 6: appreciate that well.

332
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: I was honored by it.

333
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: It was a big poll, and it's usually a poll

334
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: that leans on the other side of things, the other

335
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: side of the world, so to speak.

336
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: But the Harvard Pole is a respected pole and.

337
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: It has us not only leading, but leading by a lot,

338
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: and leading on every single issue that we've talked about.

339
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: And as I said, we've become the Party of common sense.

340
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 3: And I think that's a very important element now, common

341
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: sense because what's happening in the world, and even in

342
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: this country. Some of the things that took place, many

343
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: of them are now canceled and the rest are being

344
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: can sold as we speak. But we've moved very rapidly

345
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: and I think very effectively.

346
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: So I was honored by that.

347
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: Paul, Thank you very much, appreciate it. Go ahead please as.

348
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: A president, you said before.

349
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 7: That you would like to see Russia, Yes, go ahead

350
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 7: when you're meeting in Saia Arabia.

351
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: On the Agredia time.

352
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

353
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: I think the meeting in Saudi Arabia was a fantastic one.

354
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: We met with the Crown Prince, who was a fantastic

355
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: young guy. He's young, but with great imagination and tremendously respected.

356
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: All over the world.

357
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: And he goes right to the King and the King

358
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 3: is incredible. Gotten to be friends with both of them

359
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: very much, and they want to see this ended, and

360
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: they're going all out to make sure that it is ended.

361
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: I think Russia.

362
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: Likewise, I've spoken to President Putin and my people are

363
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: dealing with him constantly and his people in particular, and

364
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: they want to do something.

365
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I do. I do deals. My

366
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: whole life is deals. That's all I knows.

367
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: Deals, and I know when somebody wants to make and when.

368
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: Somebody does it.

369
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 3: I will say this, Before I came here, there was

370
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: no communication with Russia whatsoever, and Russia wasn't answering calls.

371
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: They were not talking to anybody. They wouldn't talk to anybody,

372
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: and people sort.

373
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: Of accepted that as being that they want to go

374
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: forward and just keep going without stop. But when I

375
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: got here, one of the first goals I made was

376
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: the President Putin, and we were treated with great respect.

377
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: And they want to end this war. So that's a

378
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 3: big thing.

379
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: Because I didn't know if I could say that, but

380
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: it's a big thing. They want to do it.

381
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 3: And the group in the front row that I end

382
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: produce a very all, very active in it, and we're

383
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: working on deals right now, transactions right now, and in particular,

384
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: the big one is to get the war stopped, whether

385
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: it's ceasefire or direct to an agreement. I'd like to

386
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: go directly to an agreement, but fire will always happen

387
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 3: a little bit quicker, and every day you're saving thousands

388
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: or at least hundreds by thousands in some cases lives.

389
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 3: So we want to see if we can get that

390
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: done very quickly.

391
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: Yes, for the president. Please, thank you Nico and.

392
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 8: You correspondent based in Paris. Question for both of you. Actually,

393
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 8: mister Macron, you were one of the last Western leaders

394
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 8: to speak to put In before Ukraine's invasion. What advice,

395
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 8: what recommendation could you make to President Trump to make

396
00:24:52,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 8: sure that this time you can get strong enough sorry

397
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 8: from put In to get a piece deal that last

398
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 8: this time? And mister President Trump, what makes you think

399
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 8: you can trust Putting In those negotiations? Thank you.

400
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 4: Look, I will never give any advice to Present Trump.

401
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 4: We have friendly and trustful discussion. But my experience with

402
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 4: Present put In is the following number one. I always

403
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 4: think it's good to have discussion with other leaders, and

404
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 4: especially when you disagree. I stopped my discussion was Present

405
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 4: put In after Butcher and the war crimes because I

406
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: consider that, I mean, we have nothing to get from

407
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 4: him in the time. Now this is a chance. There

408
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 4: is a big change because there is a new US administration,

409
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 4: so this is a new context. So there is a

410
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: good reason for President Trump to re engage. Was present

411
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 4: put In, But my experience is the following, and I

412
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 4: shared it with President Trump and the team. In twenty fourteen,

413
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: our predecessors negotiated peace with President put In, but because

414
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: of the lack of guarantees, and especially security guarantees, President

415
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 4: Putting violated this piece. And I had several discussions, especially

416
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: the beginning of twenty twenty two, several times seven hours

417
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 4: with President Putting fifteen days before launching of the attack.

418
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 4: It denied everything, but we didn't have security guarantees. So

419
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 4: this is why being strong and having deterrance capacities is

420
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: the only way to be sure it will be respected.

421
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: And I insisted on that, and this is why I

422
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 4: believe that the US has the capacity to do so.

423
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 4: And this is why I think we should never say

424
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 4: I will never send it in boots on the ground,

425
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: because you go a blank check to violate any type

426
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 4: of commitment. So I think it's good to have discussion.

427
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 4: I think it's useful to have negotiation. I think it's

428
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: super important to go to the piece, but my strong

429
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: point was to say, let's try to get something first

430
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 4: which can be assessed, checked and verified, and let's be

431
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: sure that we build sufficient guarantees on the short run.

432
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 4: And this is where we are ready to be engaged.

433
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 4: As for friends, A lot of my European colleagues are

434
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: ready to be engaged, but we do need this American

435
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: backup because this is part of the credibility of the

436
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: security guarantees, and this is our collective deterrent capacity. And

437
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: I have the feelings at the present as this capacity.

438
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: I think it's very much the benefit of Russia to

439
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: make a.

440
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: Deal, and I feel that we will do that. It

441
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: is what it is again, it's a worthy have never

442
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 3: been started. It's a war that would not have been

443
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 3: started if I were president, but it did start, and

444
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: it's at a terrible level where cities are burned down

445
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: and shot down to the ground. It looks like demolition

446
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: sites are a whole big pile of demolition sites, and we

447
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 3: got to get it stopped. Too many people, too much agony.

448
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 3: The whole culture is destroyed when you rip down some

449
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 3: of those ancient, really ancient or near ancient buildings. It's

450
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 3: so sad to see, but I think it's very much

451
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: to the benefit of this tremendous distrust on both sides.

452
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: That's what it's good that I'm coming in now.

453
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: But I think it's to the very much benefit of

454
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: Russia to make a deal and to go on, go

455
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: on with leading Russia in a very positive way. That's

456
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: what you have to do. But I really believe that

457
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: he wants to make a deal. Maybe wrong, but I

458
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: believe he wants to make a deal. Yeah, go ahead, please.

459
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 9: Next week there's a key deadline for your Canada and

460
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 9: Mexico tea truly be if those countries have done enough

461
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 9: on the border to stop those from taking effect. And

462
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 9: for President Macron, I'm wondering if you believe that this

463
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 9: critical minerals deal with Ukraine represents it to facto security

464
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 9: guarantee by the United States, since the US would have

465
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 9: an interest in protecting those reserves in Ukraine.

466
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: Thank you.

467
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: We're on time with the tariffs and it seems like

468
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: that's moving along very rapidly. We've been mistreated very badly

469
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: by many countries, not just Canada and Mexico. We've been

470
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: taken advantage of, we were led by in some cases fools,

471
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: because anybody that would sign documents like they signed where

472
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: they were able to take advantage of the American people

473
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: like has happened over the last long period of time,

474
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: except for a little four year period that took place

475
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: four years ago. But anybody that would agree to allow

476
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 3: this to happen to our country should be ashamed of themselves. No,

477
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: the tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule. This

478
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: is an abuse that took place for many, many years.

479
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: And I'm not even blaming the other countries that did this.

480
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: I blame our leadership for allowing it to happen. I mean,

481
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: you know who can blame them? If they made these

482
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: great deals with the United States, took advantage of the

483
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: United States on manufacturing, on just about everything, every aspect

484
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: that you can imagine they took advantage of. I look

485
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: at some of these agreements. I'd read them at night

486
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: and say, who would ever sign a thing like this?

487
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: So the tariffs will go forward, Yes, and we're going

488
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: to make up a lot of territory. We're going to

489
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity. We want

490
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: to have the same so if somebody charges us, we

491
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: charge them is very simple, but it'll be very good

492
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: for our country. Our country will be extremely liquid and

493
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: rich again. Plus we're doing other things. As you know,

494
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: we're finding tremendous waste, fraud and abuse at levels that

495
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: nobody thought possible. You're seeing what's going on. And that

496
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: was also part of the Harvard poll. Do you agree

497
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: with what President Trump is doing with Elon and others

498
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 3: that are looking for the waste, fraud and abuse And

499
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: the numbers were staggering, it was like seventy percent to

500
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: two percent.

501
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to find out.

502
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: They don't like it, and you know, the radical left,

503
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: to whoever it may be, starts screaming about the Constitution.

504
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: But it has nothing to do with the Constitution, has

505
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: to do with fairness to this country.

506
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: It has to do with being ripped off.

507
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 3: And when you read the things that all of these

508
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 3: billions and I mean many billions, hundreds of billions of

509
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: dollars have been spent on, that's all you have to

510
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: do is stand up here and read them. I could

511
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: stand up all day and read the kind of things

512
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: where we're spending all of this money. The good news

513
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: is that when you think of how rich a nation

514
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 3: we can be when we get rid of this. You know,

515
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: sometimes you'll buy a company and you'll see it was

516
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: really well run. They accounted for every penny. Well, not

517
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: much you can do there. You get yourself a bad deal.

518
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: This one is the exact opposite. Tremendous fraud, tremendous waste.

519
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 3: And when you think of what it is, you know,

520
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: Elon uses an expression caring. If we had people that care,

521
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: just cared a little bit when they did contracts, when

522
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: they negotiated with outside vendors for on behalf of the

523
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: United States, That's what I'm doing now. I'm negotiating for

524
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: the people of the United States.

525
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: So we're doing a great job of it. I will

526
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: say we found it'll.

527
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: Be hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud

528
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: and abuse.

529
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Thank you.

530
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 4: Please, Look, I think this discussion is a very important one.

531
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 4: First because it's important for the US, and it will

532
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: be a good occasion for a first, very important meeting

533
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: between President Trimp and Prison Zone Ski.

534
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: And we have the final moments we're going to carry it.

535
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: So we carry it in full. President Macrone of France

536
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: at the White House for President than Donald Trump, for

537
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: stations along the Sean Hannity Show network. We will not

538
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: be taking the soft break unaws. You decide too, that's

539
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: fine with us, and we will take the heartbreak at

540
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. And at the top of

541
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: the hour we have the other news of the day.

542
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: As we continue, there is a lot of economic ofbside

543
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: on both sides, and third de factos, there is a

544
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 4: recognition of Ukrainian sovereignty or recognition of the Ukrainian interests

545
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 4: and this is the facto, a very important alignment of interest.

546
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: Now the security guarantees will be negotiated in due time

547
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 4: in a full fledge package of a peace security But

548
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: this piece, as it is now written and negotiated, and

549
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: as this meeting is scheduled, is an important step forward

550
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: full fledged peace agreement.

551
00:33:50,920 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 5: Okay, accomplishment President Trump, President Macron.

552
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 10: To make a deal with Putin. So when you do

553
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 10: a deal, it's a win win deal. What are you

554
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 10: giving to him and what is he going to give

555
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 10: you to America? And I was impressed by the way

556
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 10: you referred to Notre Dame and that you were impressed

557
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 10: by the reconstruction of Notre Dame. A lot of American

558
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 10: have sent money to Paris to participate to the reconstruction

559
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 10: of Notre Dame. As the president of the United States,

560
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 10: are you going to contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine?

561
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: Immature?

562
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 10: President Macrome?

563
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 5: President Macrome, what for you is the main area of

564
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 5: progress in your meeting with President Trump? Can you confirm

565
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: that there is an agreement to send European peacekeeping troops? Well,

566
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 5: France participate in that. How many troops? What would they

567
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: be doing? Would this represent a great danger to send

568
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 5: French and European troops to Ukraine?

569
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: Well, I guess it's it's a little strange question because

570
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: you ask whether or not we're going to on behalf

571
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: of the United States contribute to Ukraine. I mean, we're

572
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: in there for about three hundred and fifty billion dollars.

573
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty big contribution.

574
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 3: I do appreciate the first part of your question, however,

575
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: because I think they've done an incredible job with the

576
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 3: cathedral of Notre Dame.

577
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: I think the President has done.

578
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 3: I know he headed it up, and I know how

579
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: hard he worked, and it took a period of time,

580
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: but really not a long period of time considering what

581
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: that was, so delicate, so beautiful, and I was there

582
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: and I saw the work, and I'm very good at construction.

583
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 3: I know good construction, I know bad construction. They did

584
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 3: a beautiful job, and this man has to be given

585
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: a lot of credit for that. It's an incredible cathedral.

586
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: Most people thought it couldn't be saved, and if it was,

587
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: it would have to be built in a different form.

588
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: And we didn't want to see a different form. We

589
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: want to see the same form that you built. So

590
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 3: I just want to congratulate you. That was an amazing job.

591
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: I don't think you've gotten enough credit for it. Some

592
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 2: day you will. Some day you will.

593
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: Thank you, Matsiboku, thank.

594
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 5: You very much. To go back to your question, today's

595
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 5: discussion showed several areas of progress. First, we have been

596
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 5: working a great deal with President Zelensky to have a

597
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 5: proposal that's acceptable to Ukraine. President Trump has confirmed that

598
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 5: he will be meeting with President Zolenski very soon to

599
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 5: finalize the agreement on critical minerals and rare earths and

600
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: to speak together about that matter. That's a very important

601
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: step forward. The second thing is that during our discussions

602
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 5: we were able to go into some of the details

603
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: about the proposal that we have just made to have

604
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 5: a truce, a peace and be able to measure that

605
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 5: and then structure our discussions on that basis. France and

606
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: several other European countries, along with Ukraine are hard at

607
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: work to build this lasting piece with very specific points,

608
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 5: including security guarantees, the territories that belong to Ukraine, the

609
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 5: issue of reconstruction, the economy and critical minerals. We've been

610
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 5: able to go into the details of those proposals. The

611
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 5: third area of progress, which really mark a turning point,

612
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 5: is the fact that we were able to talk about

613
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 5: the details of the security guarantees. And the President has

614
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 5: shown this over the past few days and he said

615
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 5: so a moment ago. We want peace. He wants peace,

616
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 5: We want peace swiftly, but we don't want an agreement

617
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 5: that is weak. The fact that there are Europeans that

618
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 5: are ready to engage to provide for these security guarantees,

619
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 5: and now there's a clear American message that the US

620
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 5: as an ally is ready to provide that solidarity for

621
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 5: that approach. That's a turning point in my view, and

622
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: that is one of the great areas of progress that

623
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 5: we've made during this trip and during this discussion when

624
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 5: it comes to troops in the past. A year ago specifically,

625
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: we saw a reason to talk about sending troops to

626
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 5: for strategic regions. Today, when we talk about troops, we're

627
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 5: talking about sending them in after we've negotiated a lasting piece,

628
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 5: and once we have that solid, lasting piece that's part

629
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 5: of an agreement signed by Ukraine, signed by Russia and

630
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 5: for which we will provide the guarantees. Then at that point,

631
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 5: and recently France has worked with the UK to provide

632
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 5: its contributions. We've worked on plans. We've worked with our

633
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 5: militaries not to go to the front lines, not to

634
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: go into occupied territories, as a show of support, to

635
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 5: show that we have a negotiated peace signed by both sides,

636
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: and that is a piece we will preserve. So these

637
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 5: would be peaceful deployments of troops, not for combat. These

638
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 5: would be deployments of an assurance force. They would be limited,

639
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 5: but they show solidarity. Have also spoken with all of

640
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 5: our allies, and there are European and non European allies

641
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 5: who already and willing to take part in that effort.

642
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 5: Countries have helped Ukraine maintain its military capabilities in terms

643
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: of the number of soldiers that has equipment, whereas others

644
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 5: have provided logistical support on the ground. The question is

645
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 5: whether or in what form the US will contribute. And

646
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 5: during our discussions and during the discussions with Russia, we've

647
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 5: understood that this would be acceptable to Russia and that

648
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: it's a very important area of progress. And that means

649
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 5: that in this context, the Europeans will shoulder they're part

650
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 5: of the burden, their share of the burden. We have

651
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 5: a strong alliance that we've built over the decades, We

652
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 5: have our solidarity, and we have deterrence capacities. What does

653
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 5: it mean would it be dangerous if there is an

654
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 5: agreement signed by Ukraine and Russia thanks to the efforts

655
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 5: of President Trump, and if we provide the guarantees and

656
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 5: Russia violates the agreement, then it would be in conflict

657
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 5: with everyone who is engaged in the peace process. And

658
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 5: that is a change that was something we did not

659
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 5: see in the past. That's not what we saw in

660
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen. So that is the real change that we're marking.

661
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 5: We have this deterrence capacity on the American side, we

662
00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: have the capacity for engagement on the European and that's

663
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: something we're going to continue working on together. It's not dangerous,

664
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 5: but it's credible. It's less dangerous than things that could

665
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 5: happen in the long term, and I think this is

666
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 5: what we need to do to ensure security. And I

667
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 5: say this very clearly. We're also talking about security for Europeans.

668
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 5: I've been saying this for weeks now. If we do

669
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 5: not guarantee the security of this territory within Europe, then

670
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 5: how can we guarantee our own security for one and

671
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 5: all
