open is vital for the global economy [2:17] mr. president he has consistently emphasized the importance of ensuring [2:33] freedom of navigation and we should work together and place a particular emphasis [2:37] on that mr. president you are aware across the world Indian seafarers in hundreds of [3:04] thousands of thousands are working and they're performing their duties across [3:08] global

thank you any questions [4:09] thank you mr. president we just heard the prime minister pretty sure your efforts [4:12] thank you do you think you can carry the momentum from the Iran deal over to [4:18] securing an end to the world well had very good talks with president [4:27] zielinski and with president putin and we'd like to see that one end I ended eight wars and to be honest with you I thought this would have been one of the easier ones but they're not liking each other too much and it makes it much more difficult but we're working I had two good conversations with president zielinski [4:46] zielinski and with president they would they would like to be able to do that we'll take a look at it [4:58] they have as well [5:00] how close are you to a u.s india trade deal very close we've been there for a little while and he's a very tough negotiator [5:09] he's one of the toughest actually so you look at this man I'll give you a lesson he's the most beautiful looking man he looks so nice he's like an angel but actually he's as tough as he's a killer I don't want to he's a killer he's as tough as they come but he looks so good so he gets you by surprise [5:29] there's a few people like this people say he's such a nice man I said he's very tough he's a tough negotiator and he loves the Indian people but he also loves the USA we had howdy moody in Houston remember [5:44] and that was that was great then we'll be going to India sometime in the future [5:53] well we had a great visit last time in India we opened up that new stadium and I think there were three four hundred thousand people it's seated like [6:13] about 150,000 and there were 250,000 outside and there were 100,000 on the grass that was I don't know if that records ever been broken but we had a great I had a great time in India [6:27] say it do you expect India to play any role in West Asia yeah I do I do I think India plays a big role in [6:41] everything as long as he's the leader India is going to play a big role [6:46] as long as I'm president we have a great they have a great friend in the White House I don't know where there might have been a trouble but I don't think so I can [7:11] tell you everyone here they love India they have tremendous respect for this man [7:15] we are looking at that we're seeing how far the price of oil comes down it's it's really tumbling it's I guess 74 75 right now so it's down it's soon going to be at the number that it was [7:30] four months ago it's pretty amazing and on top of that we will have an Iran without a nuclear weapon which I can tell you the prime minister feels very strongly about that too [7:37] they were to a leader and we had G7 plus many others came as you know to a leader they were thrilled they could not have been happier well this gentleman [7:54] They were, to a leader, and we had G7 plus many others came, as you know, to a leader, they were thrilled. [8:05] They could not have been happier. [8:07] Well, this gentleman came, and that's a big get. [8:11] He came, and they cannot even believe that it happened quickly. [8:17] But it really didn't happen quickly. [8:19] It's been happening for a long time. [8:22] It's been happening from my first term, when a very evil man named Soleimani was killed. [8:28] That's when it started. [8:29] And nobody else did this but Trump. [8:31] You know, you look at our president. [8:33] 47 years, Iran took advantage of the world, the Middle East, but the world. [8:40] Nobody did anything. [8:41] The Obama deal was one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen. [8:44] It was a road to a nuclear weapon. [8:46] My deal is a wall to a nuclear—you're not going to have it. [8:50] It's a wall to a nuclear weapon. [8:52] Do you want the Europeans to send minesweeper folks? [8:55] We don't need them, but if they want to send them, I think it's good. [8:58] Has anyone committed to mining mines? [9:00] Yes, all of them. [9:02] All of them. [9:02] Which nations? [9:03] The ones that have that kind of equipment have. [9:06] But every one of them have committed to being involved and so forth. [9:10] And at this point, do you feel that Vladimir Putin is more responsible for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? [9:16] Well, I don't want to comment on that because I'm trying to get it settled, and that doesn't make it easy. [9:20] Mr. President, you're on the cusp of making history with the possible peace in the Iran conflict. [9:27] I like this guy. [9:28] Who is he? [9:29] Do you know who that is? [9:30] I like him. [9:31] Your reporters are much nicer than my reporters. [9:33] Go ahead. [9:34] But there is also a tragic loss of lives of Indian sailors recently, sir, in American strikes. [9:40] Any words of condolences for the grieving families, sir? [9:42] Yeah, I do. [9:43] I heard about that. [9:45] It's a rough profession. [9:47] There's no question about it. [9:49] And we work together on it. [9:51] This has been happening throughout time. [9:54] But we work together on it. [9:55] Yeah, certainly. [9:56] We love all of those people. [9:57] They're great people. [9:58] Yeah, please. [9:59] How long do you expect Bill Coulter to be acting D&I? [10:03] Well, as long as it takes to get everybody else approved. [10:06] I mean, they were doing a rush act, and we didn't get anything for it. [10:10] Look, he's a very legitimate guy. [10:12] He's very smart. [10:13] He's a brilliant guy. [10:14] Look at the job he did at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. [10:17] I mean, it's worth probably a trillion dollars right now. [10:21] So we put him there. [10:22] But all of a sudden, it was like a rush act by the Democrats. [10:25] And they said they were going to approve FISA. [10:27] And I said, but we want FISA approved, but we want the Save America Act approved. [10:33] Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots, with exceptions, like for the military, [10:39] sick, you're sick, you're traveling, disabled, very, you know, open and generous. [10:46] We also want no men playing in women's sports, so we want no transgender mutilization of our children. [10:54] None. [10:54] And those are five things that are 99% to, I mean, that's all we want. [11:01] It's not a lot. [11:02] The Save America Act. [11:04] And that can be passed any way they want to pass it. [11:06] But I'm not going to sign FISA unless it's done. [11:10] And this was like a rush act. [11:11] And it was a rush act by the Democrats. [11:14] All of a sudden, they want to get. [11:15] And why are they afraid of this guy? [11:17] I mean, they're so afraid of him, they'll do anything not to have Pulte go in there. [11:22] He's a very capable guy, and they're worried about that. [11:24] Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President. [11:27] Yes, ma'am, please. [11:28] You said that the Iran deal, the tax, is still being finalized. [11:32] How confident are you that this Friday signing will happen? [11:35] You're talking about this one, on the deal? [11:39] You know, deals are amazing. [11:42] I've done them all my life. [11:43] I've gone into deals that were 100%, and they don't happen. [11:47] I've gone into deals that there was no chance of getting them done, and it happens, and they happen easily. [11:53] So you never know with deals, do you? [11:55] But you're going to find out pretty soon. [11:57] I think it'll be done. [11:58] They want to sign. [11:59] They want to get back to a normal life. [12:03] You know, we hit them very hard. [12:05] Don't forget, you know, people talk about when this started. [12:10] This didn't start three, four months ago. [12:11] This started years ago when I took out Soleimani. [12:14] That was a big event. [12:16] There are those that say it was the biggest event in the Middle East in 50 years. [12:20] So we took him out, and they became a much different country. [12:26] And then we terminated, I terminated the JCPOA. [12:30] That's Barack Hussein Obama's horrible deal. [12:34] It gave them a nuclear weapon. [12:36] And I terminated it, and I stopped it. [12:39] And then I stopped it a second time with the B-2 bombers. [12:41] And these are all major events in the history of the world, in my opinion, [12:46] because it prevented them from having a nuclear weapon. [12:50] And now we're going to do it again, and we're going to see how it works out. [12:54] So this is a memorandum of understanding, but it's a very strong one. [12:58] This isn't just like a two-paragraph. [13:00] This is a long, you know, pretty detailed memorandum that goes into a regular contract. [13:06] I would think they would do it. [13:07] If they don't, then that's, you know, that's okay. [13:11] We'll have to start the process again, and we don't lose. [13:15] We have the greatest military in the world. [13:17] We have the greatest blockade. [13:18] The naval blockade was 100% effective. [13:23] And again, they have no Navy. [13:25] They have no Air Force. [13:26] All bombed, I don't want to say the leaders, but first level of leader, gone. [13:32] Second level of leaders, gone. [13:35] Some of the third level of leaders, gone. [13:39] And they want to make a deal. [13:43] They are so ready to make a deal. [13:45] You know what? [13:48] President Trump, can you talk to the defense relationship between India and the United States? [13:53] Sorry, I'm speaking. [13:54] I won't. [13:55] That's okay. [13:55] Can you speak to the defense relationship between India and the United States? [14:00] I think it's a great relationship. [14:01] I can tell you this. [14:03] Without having a contract, we don't have a contract. [14:05] You'd have to write contracts. [14:07] But if they were attacked, we would be there to help them. [14:09] If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there. [14:18] Now, if there's a new leader, I'm not sure about it. [14:21] If there's a new leader, I don't know about that. [14:24] But if they're attacked and he's the leader, we're going to be there to help. [14:27] And we have, and I will say this, and everybody says it. [14:34] I had a great meeting three weeks ago with President Xi of China. [14:38] We have the strongest military in the world by far. [14:41] And I built it in my first term. [14:44] And we're using it in my second term. [14:46] And they gave some of it away stupidly in Afghanistan, as you know. [14:51] And they spent a lot on Ukraine, $350 billion. [14:55] But we have the most powerful military in the world. [14:59] You saw that with Venezuela, which was 48, think of it, 48 minutes. [15:04] And now our relationship with Venezuela is great. [15:07] We've paid for the cost of the war 40 times, taking millions of barrels out. [15:14] Venezuela is benefiting. [15:15] We're benefiting. [15:16] Venezuela is benefiting. [15:17] And then we go to Iran. [15:20] And really, in the first week, militarily, we defeated Iran. [15:25] Nobody thought that could be done. [15:26] Yeah, please. [15:26] Mr. President, do you want Israel to halt its military campaign? [15:30] No, I want Israel to be able to protect themselves. [15:33] But I do want them to use good judgment. [15:35] President Trump, do you want them to use good judgment? [15:39] I think the skilled Indian professional would be getting more opportunities in the United States under your presidency. [15:46] What does that mean? [15:46] Highly skilled professionals to get more opportunities here in the United States? [15:51] Oh, yeah, sure. [15:52] I mean, always. [15:52] Yeah. [15:53] We've always had tremendous relationships in terms of employment with India. [15:57] Very talented people. [15:58] You've seen European leaders interact very warmly with you at the summit. [16:05] Do you think that they're coming around to your worldview? [16:07] Well, I think they think I was right. [16:10] I'm sort of always right. [16:11] You know, when you get right down to it. [16:13] I think they think I was right. [16:15] They feel good. [16:15] Now, all of a sudden, they all want to be involved. [16:19] There's no reason to have them, because it's pretty much over. [16:22] But they all want to be involved. [16:25] He'd be involved if I wanted. [16:26] But we don't want to waste his time for his people. [16:30] No, the European leaders, the meeting we had today was, you know, just the leaders. [16:37] I don't even say the European. [16:38] The leaders that we had met with, in addition to the seven, we had quite a few come in. [16:44] They all were willing to get involved. [16:47] Thank you. [16:47] Thank you. [16:51] We had a great meeting on AI. [16:54] We had all the top people here, and it was a great meeting. [16:57] And as you know, we're building tremendous numbers of plans, but AI, we're building the biggest in the world. [17:02] We're number one in AI by a lot, and it was a very productive event. [17:06] How's it going with the negotiations with that throttom? [17:08] He was here. [17:10] Going fine. [17:11] I think it's going fine. [17:11] How do you see energy cooperation in India is diversifying, buying more energy from across the world, including the United States? [17:21] I'm sedansable from beyond. [17:22] How do you see India buying energy from you? [17:25] India can do anything they want with us. [17:27] We have the best relationship. [17:29] We cannot be closer than we are. [17:31] Would you say that? [17:32] I don't think we can be any closer. [17:34] Both him and I and our nations, but it really starts with the two of us. [17:40] We cannot be closer. [17:42] Thank you very much. [17:43] Happy birthday. [17:44] Happy birthday. [17:45] Thank you guys. [17:46] Thank you. [17:47] Thank you. [17:48] Happy birthday. [17:49] Happy birthday. [17:50] Thank you. [17:51] Happy birthday. [17:52] Happy birthday. [17:53] Happy birthday. [17:54] I don't like getting shot out there. [18:01] Thank you.
