[8:27] will receive the highest priority
[8:28] during the implementation of this agreement.

[8:45] and I deeply commend your efforts
[8:47] in ensuring the restoration of peace
[8:50] and making efforts towards restoration of peace
[8:52] and stability in West Asia.
[8:54] Thank you very much.
[8:55] Thank you.
[8:56] Thank you.
[8:58] Any questions?
[8:59] Mr. President, we just heard the Prime Minister
[9:03] produce your efforts, you know, peace efforts.
[9:05] Thank you.
[9:06] Do you think you can carry the momentum
[9:08] from the Iran deal over to securing an end
[9:11] to the war in Ukraine?
[9:12] And can you tell us about your conversations
[9:14] with President Zelensky here at the GSEC?
[9:16] Mr. Well, I had very good talks
[9:18] with President Zelensky and with President Putin,
[9:21] and we'd like to see that one end.
[9:24] I ended eight wars, and to be honest with you,
[9:28] I thought this would have been one of the easier ones,
[9:29] but they're not liking each other too much,
[9:32] and it makes it much more difficult.
[9:34] But we're working, I had two good conversations
[9:36] with President Zelensky and with President Putin.
[9:39] Will you let them build U.S. missiles?
[9:44] Or you manufacture missiles, American missiles?
[9:47] Mr. They would, they would like to be able to do that.
[9:49] We'll take a look at it.
[9:50] They have .
[9:53] How close are you to a U.S.-India trade deal?
[9:56] Mr. Very close.
[9:57] We've been there for a little while,
[9:59] and he's a very tough negotiator.
[10:01] He's one of the toughest, actually.
[10:03] So you look at this man.
[10:04] I'll give you a lesson.
[10:06] He's the most beautiful-looking man.
[10:08] He looks so nice.
[10:09] He's like an angel.
[10:10] But actually, he's as tough as, he's a killer.
[10:13] I don't want to, he's a killer.
[10:15] He's as tough as they come.
[10:16] But he looks so good.
[10:18] So he gets you by surprise.
[10:21] But there's few people like this.
[10:23] People say, he's such a nice man.
[10:25] I said, no, he's very, he's very tough.
[10:27] He's a tough negotiator.
[10:29] And he loves the Indian people.
[10:31] But he also loves the U.S.A.
[10:33] We had Howdy Moody in Houston, remember?
[10:35] And the stadium was full.
[10:37] He didn't always say Trump in India.
[10:41] That was, that was great.
[10:42] And we'll be going to India sometime in the future.
[10:44] Well, we had a great visit last time in India.
[10:59] We opened up that new stadium.
[11:01] And I think there were three, 400,000 people.
[11:03] It seated like about 150,000.
[11:08] And there were 250,000 outside.
[11:11] And there were 100,000 on the grass.
[11:13] That was, I don't know if that record's ever been broken.
[11:16] But we had a great, I had a great time in India.
[11:19] Do you expect India to play any role in West Asia?
[11:25] Say it.
[11:26] Do you expect India to play any role in West Asia?
[11:29] Yeah, I do.
[11:30] I do.
[11:31] I think India plays a big role in everything.
[11:34] As long as he's the leader, India's going to play a big role.
[11:38] You said a few times that India has a great friend in the United States, in Washington,
[11:43] D.C., in White House, till the time you are president.
[11:45] But some of your decisions recently caused trouble, concern in India.
[11:49] How would you like to assure people of India?
[11:52] Well, I said, as long as I'm president, we have a great, they have a great friend in
[11:57] the White House.
[11:58] I don't know where there might have been trouble.
[12:01] But I don't think so.
[12:02] I can tell you, everyone here, they love India.
[12:05] They have tremendous respect for this man.
[12:07] Tremendous respect for this man.
[12:08] Tremendous respect for this man.
[12:12] Are there going to be sanctions that are going to be reimposed on Russia now that the focus
[12:19] is once again being shifted to the Ukraine-Russia war?
[12:21] We are looking at that.
[12:22] We're seeing how far the price of oil comes down.
[12:25] It's really tumbling.
[12:27] It's, I guess, 74, 75 right now.
[12:30] So it's down.
[12:31] It's soon going to be at the number that it was four months ago.
[12:34] It's pretty amazing.
[12:35] And on top of that, we will have an Iran without a nuclear weapon, which I can tell
[12:41] you, the prime minister feels very strongly about that, too.
[12:44] What is your president here from European or G7 leaders?
[12:47] They were, to a leader, and we had G7 plus many others came, as you know.
[12:54] To a leader, they were thrilled.
[12:57] They could not have been happier.
[12:58] Well, this gentleman came.
[13:00] That's a big get.
[13:02] He came, and they cannot even believe that it happened quickly.
[13:08] But it really didn't happen quickly.
[13:10] It happened.
[13:11] It's been happening for a long time.
[13:13] It's been happening from my first term, when a very evil man named Soleimani was killed.
[13:19] That's when it started.
[13:21] And nobody else did this but Trump.
[13:23] You know, you look at our president.
[13:25] 47 years, Iran took advantage of the world.
[13:29] The Middle East, but the world.
[13:31] Nobody did anything.
[13:32] The Obama deal was one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen.
[13:35] It was a road to a nuclear weapon.
[13:37] My deal is a wall to a nuclear weapon.
[13:40] You're not going to have it.
[13:41] It's a wall to a nuclear weapon.
[13:43] Are minesweepers, do you want the Europeans to send minesweeper folks?
[13:46] We don't need them, but if they want to send them, I think it's good.
[13:49] Has anyone committed to getting minesweepers?
[13:51] All of them.
[13:52] All of them.
[13:53] All of them.
[13:54] Which nations?
[13:55] The ones that have that kind of equipment have.
[13:57] But every one of them have committed to being involved.
[14:00] And at this point, do you feel that Vladimir Putin is more responsible for the ongoing conflict
[14:06] in Ukraine?
[14:07] I don't want to comment on that because I'm trying to get it settled, and that doesn't
[14:10] make it easy.
[14:11] Mr. President, you're on the cusp of making history with the possible peace in the Iran
[14:18] conflict.
[14:19] I like this guy.
[14:20] Who is he?
[14:21] Do you know who that is?
[14:22] Your reporters are much nicer than my reporters.
[14:25] Go ahead.
[14:26] But there is also a tragic loss of the lives of Indian sailors recently, sir, in American
[14:31] strikes.
[14:32] Any words of condolences for the grieving families?
[14:34] Yeah, I do.
[14:35] I heard about that.
[14:36] It's a rough profession.
[14:38] There's no question about it.
[14:41] And we work together on it.
[14:43] This has been happening throughout time.
[14:45] But we work together on it.
[14:47] Yeah, certainly.
[14:48] We love all of those people.
[14:49] They're great people.
[14:50] Yeah, please.
[14:51] How long do you expect Bill Pulte to be acting D&I?
[14:55] Well, as long as it takes to get everybody else approved.
[14:58] I mean, they were doing a rush act, and we didn't get anything for it.
[15:01] Look, he's a very legitimate guy.
[15:03] He's very smart.
[15:04] He's a brilliant guy.
[15:05] Look at the job he did at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.
[15:08] I mean, it's worth probably a trillion dollars right now.
[15:12] So we put him there.
[15:13] But all of a sudden, it was like a rush act by the Democrats.
[15:16] And they said they were going to approve Pfizer.
[15:18] And I said, but we want Pfizer approved, but we want the Save America Act approved.
[15:23] Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots, with exceptions, like for the military,
[15:30] you're sick, you're sick, you're traveling, disabled, very, you know, open and generous.
[15:38] We also want no men playing in women's sports, and we want no transgender mutilization of our children.
[15:45] None.
[15:46] Those are five things that are 99% to, I mean, that's all we want.
[15:52] It's not a lot.
[15:53] The Save America Act.
[15:54] And that can be passed any way they want to pass it, but I'm not going to sign Pfizer unless it's done.
[16:01] And this was like a rush act.
[16:03] And it was a rush act by the Democrats.
[16:05] All of a sudden, they want to get.
[16:06] And why are they afraid of this guy?
[16:08] I mean, they're so afraid of him.
[16:10] They'll do anything not to have Pulte go in there.
[16:13] He's a very capable guy, and they're worried about that.
[16:16] Mr. President.
[16:17] Mr. President.
[16:18] Mr. President.
[16:19] Yes, ma'am, please.
[16:20] You said the deal, the Iran deal, the tax is still being finalized.
[16:23] How confident are you that this Friday signing will happen?
[16:26] Mr. President.
[16:27] You're talking about this one on the deal?
[16:30] You know, deals are amazing.
[16:33] I've done them all my life.
[16:34] I've gone into deals that were 100% and they don't happen.
[16:38] I've gone into deals that there was no chance of getting them done, and it happens, and they happen easily.
[16:44] So you never know with deals, do you?
[16:46] But you're going to find out pretty soon.
[16:48] I think it'll be done.
[16:49] They want to sign.
[16:50] They want to get back to a normal life.
[16:54] You know, we hit them very hard.
[16:56] Don't forget.
[16:57] You know, people talk about when this started.
[17:01] This didn't start three, four months ago.
[17:02] This started years ago when I took out Soleimani.
[17:05] That was a big event.
[17:08] There are those that say it was the biggest event in the Middle East in 50 years.
[17:12] So we took him out and they became a much different country.
[17:17] And then we terminated, I terminated the JCPOA.
[17:21] That's Barack Hussein Obama's horrible deal.
[17:24] That gave them a nuclear weapon.
[17:26] And I terminated it and I stopped it.
[17:29] And then I stopped it a second time with the B-2 bombers.
[17:32] And these are all major events in the history of the world, in my opinion.
[17:37] Because it prevented them from having a nuclear weapon.
[17:40] And now we're going to do it again and we're going to see how it works out.
[17:45] So this is a memorandum of understanding, but it's a very strong one.
[17:48] This isn't just like a two paragraph.
[17:50] This is a long, you know, pretty detailed memorandum that goes into a regular contract.
[17:56] I would think they would do it.
[17:58] If they don't, then that's, you know, that's okay.
[18:01] We'll have to start the process again.
[18:03] And we don't lose.
[18:06] We have the greatest military in the world.
[18:08] We have the greatest blockade.
[18:09] The naval blockade was 100% effective.
[18:13] And again, they have no Navy, they have no Air Force, all bombed.
[18:18] I don't want to say the leaders, but first level of leader, gone.
[18:23] Second level of leaders, gone.
[18:26] Some of the third level of leaders, gone.
[18:30] And they want to make a deal.
[18:33] They are so ready to make a deal.
[18:36] You know what?
[18:39] The defense relationship between India and the United States.
[18:44] Sorry, I'm speaking.
[18:45] I won't.
[18:46] That's okay.
[18:47] Can you speak to the defense relationship between India and the United States?
[18:50] I think it's a great relationship.
[18:52] I can tell you this, without having a contract.
[18:55] We don't have a contract.
[18:56] You'd have to write contract.
[18:57] But if they were attacked, we would be there to help them.
[19:00] How is that?
[19:03] Is that a good statement?
[19:04] Okay.
[19:05] Come here, man.
[19:06] If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there.
[19:09] Now, if there's a new leader, I'm not sure about it.
[19:12] If there's a new leader, I don't know about that.
[19:15] But if they're attacked and he's the leader, we're going to be there to help.
[19:19] And we have, and I will say this, and everybody says it.
[19:24] I had a great meeting three weeks ago with President Xi of China.
[19:29] We have the strongest military in the world by far.
[19:33] And I built it in my first term.
[19:35] And we're using it in my second term.
[19:38] And they gave some of it away stupidly in Afghanistan, as you know.
[19:42] And they spent a lot on Ukraine, 350 billion dollars.
[19:47] But we have the most powerful military in the world.
[19:50] You saw that with Venezuela, which was 48, think of it, 48 minutes.
[19:56] And now our relationship with Venezuela is great.
[19:59] We paid for the cost of the war 40 times, taking millions of barrels out.
[20:05] Venezuela is benefiting. We're benefiting.
[20:08] Venezuela is benefiting.
[20:09] And then we go to Iran.
[20:11] And really, in the first week militarily, we defeated Iran.
[20:15] Nobody thought that could be done.
[20:17] Yeah, please.
[20:18] Do you want Israel to halt its military campaign?
[20:21] No, I want Israel to be able to protect themselves.
[20:24] But I do want them to use good judgment.
[20:26] judgment i mean always yeah we've always had tremendous relationships in terms of employment
[20:47] with india very talented people
[20:56] that they're coming around to your world view well i think they think i was right
[21:01] i'm sort of always right you know when you get right down to it i think they think i was right
[21:06] they feel good now all of a sudden they're they all want to be involved
[21:11] there's no reason to have them because it's pretty much over but they all want to be involved
[21:16] he'd be involved if i wanted but we don't want to waste his time for his people
[21:21] no the european leaders the the meeting we had today was was uh you know just the leaders i
[21:28] don't even say the european the leaders that we had met with in addition to the seven we had
[21:34] quite a few come in uh they all were willing to get involved thank you
[21:42] we had we had a great meeting on ai we had all the top people here and it was a great meeting and
[21:48] as you know we're building tremendous numbers of plants but ai we're building the biggest
[21:53] the biggest in the world we're number one in ai by a lot and it was a very productive
[22:00] he was here uh going fine i think it's going
[22:07] how do you see energy cooperation india is diversifying buying more energy from across the
[22:11] world including united states i'm saying how do you see india buying energy from you india can do
[22:17] anything they want with us we have the best relationship we cannot be closer than we are
[22:22] would you say this i don't think we can be any closer both him and i and our our nations but
[22:30] it really starts with the two of us we cannot be closer thank you very much
[22:45] thank you for your presence at the issue of this g7 51 years after rambouillet this summit was
[29:00] an important moment and permettez-moi de commencer by remercier toutes celles and
[29:05] ceux qui l'ont rendu possible évidemment la commune et ses habitants et bien nous étions
[29:14] très heureux je remercie madame la maire l'ensemble de ses équipes l'ensemble des
[29:19] communes d'ailleurs qui ont accueilli les différents événements les services l'ensemble
[29:33] de nos forces de sécurité intérieure de nos militaires de nos douaniers de notre
[29:37] sécurité civile de nos sapeurs-pompiers de nos soignants et beaucoup de bénévoles aussi des
[29:43] équipes qui ont rendu cet événement possible dans toutes ses composantes nous étions très fiers
[29:47] d'accueillir ce g7 à évian très fiers d'être 23 ans après en haute-savoie pour un tel événement
[29:53] et de pouvoir mettre à l'honneur aussi la beauté de nos paysages notre jeunesse hier soir notre notre
[29:59] culture et tout ce qui fait la richesse de notre pays permettez-moi aussi d'avoir un mot pour
[30:04] l'ensemble des équipes qui ont travaillé sur ces textes ardemment des équipes de sherpa et
[30:12] l'ensemble des équipes de négociatrices et de négociateurs au cabinet au ministère des affaires
[30:17] étrangères au ministère d'économie des finances dans tous les ministères qui ont été sollicités
[30:21] les ministres qui ont aussi eu à mener des g7 dans leur format le protocole le secrétariat général de
[30:30] ce g7 qui a eu à piloter l'ensemble des opérations et l'ensemble des équipes qui ont rendu ce travail
[30:38] possible et puis évidemment une telle qui nous a accueillis et l'ensemble du groupe voilà je tenais
[30:44] à le dire parce que de tels événements ne sont possibles ne sont des succès que quand des femmes
[30:48] et des hommes s'engagent et mettent toute leur énergie c'est ce qui a été fait durant ces derniers
[30:53] jours de manière plus visible mais pendant des mois donc bravo à tous et je dis bravo parce que
[30:59] il n'a échappé à personne que ce g7 se tenait dans un contexte extrêmement difficile de fragmentation du
[31:08] monde de crises multiples de conflits et que beaucoup peut se jouer lors de nos échanges et
[31:16] que ces derniers mois avaient été marqués plutôt par de la fragmentation des divisions ou des
[31:22] désaccords et nous les avions assumé ce g7 a permis et c'est ce qui constitue pour un tel sommet un
[31:31] élément de son succès et donc c'est pourquoi je peux vous dire ce g7 est objectivement un succès c'est
[31:37] qu'il a été un moment d'unité de discussion de qualité et de vraie coopération entre les
[31:45] dirigeants qui se retrouvaient ici ce sommet en effet nous a permis de nous coordonner de
[31:51] manière très étroite pour répondre aux crises et de travailler aux grands défis de notre temps
[31:55] avec d'abord une méthode c'est qu'on a associé évidemment très étroitement les pays membres du g7
[32:02] mais ce qu'on a appelé les pays partenaires du g7 plus l'inde le kenya en tant qu'il avait co-présidé le
[32:10] sommet africa forward la corée du sud le brésil et l'egypte avec aussi quelques dirigeants
[32:18] d'organisations internationales et donc c'est vraiment ce g7 plus qui a qui a piloté ce travail
[32:23] de bout en bout qui a permis d'arriver à ces textes nous avons également associé le président
[32:30] zelinski j'y reviendrai dans ses conclusions sur un moment une discussion importante sur l'ukraine
[32:34] et aux côtés évidemment du président sissi nous avons associé l'émir du qatar et le président des
[32:43] émirats arabes unis pour une discussion sur l'iran le détroit d'hormuz et toutes les conséquences sur
[32:51] le golfe évidemment les organisations internationales ont aussi été associés à nos travaux fmi banque
[32:56] mondiale banque africaine de développement et ocde pour des sessions spécifiques neuf déclarations ont
[33:02] été adoptées de manière unanime par les leaders du g7 et avec d'ailleurs sur plusieurs de celles ci des
[33:09] soutiens du g7 plus mais tous les leaders du g7 ont adopté la déclaration géopolitique je vais y
[33:16] revenir un appel des chefs d'état et de gouvernement sur la lutte contre le cancer un appel des chefs

[33:37] plus équilibrée durable et résiliente et ensuite celle contre le trafic de migrants contre les
[33:43] trafics de drogue et la dernière sur un espace numérique plus sûr pour les mineurs neuf déclarations
[33:48] donc une année je voudrais maintenant revenir sur les accords que nous avons pu dégager sur chacun
[33:55] des sujets les plus importants l'ukraine le premier la participation du président zelinski nous a permis
[34:02] d'avoir une discussion en profondeur sur l'ukraine qui pour la première fois en ces termes nous a permis de
[34:11] dégager des éléments d'accord important d'abord le soutien indéfectible à l'ukraine la solidarité à
[34:17] son peuple dont les infrastructures essentielles le patrimoine culturel ont été attaqués après les
[34:23] multiples attaques contre la population civile les ukrainiens ont été incroyablement résistants
[34:28] et tous les membres du g7 étaient d'accord pour dire la nécessité de ce soutien ce soutien à
[34:35] l'intégrité territoriale de l'ukraine mais aussi le fait que le rapport de force avait profondément
[34:40] changé dans les derniers mois l'ukraine avance résiste la russie recule c'est pourquoi nous
[34:48] sommes tous convenus d'accroître la fourniture de capacités de défense aérienne de systèmes et
[34:54] d'intercepteurs supplémentaires ainsi que de capacités de longues portes sur ces volets
[35:01] le président américain d'ailleurs a insisté pour dire la mobilisation de l'industrie de défense
[35:07] américaine la capacité à fournir de tels équipements et nous avons été plusieurs à insister à la
[35:12] demande d'ailleurs des ukrainiens ces derniers mois à sur l'importance justement du licensing et de la
[35:19] production sur le sol ukrainien pour aller encore plus vite nous sommes aussi convenus unanimement
[35:25] d'apporter un soutien supplémentaire à l'ukraine pour permettre au pays de faire face à l'hiver
[35:28] prochain avec une initiative du g7 de soutien aux infrastructures énergétiques et donc évidemment
[35:37] la reconstruction de beaucoup de choses qui ont été détruites et ont plongé dans le froid et
[35:41] l'obscurité beaucoup de populations civiles en même temps que nous sommes en train de finaliser
[35:45] aussi un financement par les pays du g7 plus nos partenaires principaux de la mise en évidemment
[35:52] en pleine sûreté et sécurité des équipements de tchernobyl enfin nous nous sommes engagés à
[35:57] accroître les pressions y compris par un renforcement de nos sanctions et cette
[36:01] remobilisation du g7 pour accroître la pression sur la russie est extrêmement importante ceci d'ailleurs
[36:08] quelques semaines après la raisonnement d'un bateau de la shadow fleet par les autorités françaises et
[36:16] quelques jours après la même opération avec notre coopération des autorités britanniques nous
[36:22] continuons nous nous coordonnons dans un environnement en matière de prix du pétrole et du gaz qui a changé
[36:30] ces derniers jours ça c'est pour l'ukraine c'est la première fois que nous avons une telle convergence en
[36:35] g7 et c'est la première fois que nous portons des conclusions aussi claires parce que nous savons
[36:41] aussi au sein du g7 les désaccords les différences qui pouvaient y avoir et donc c'est à mes yeux un
[36:45] vrai progrès et c'est aussi une condition de notre efficacité collective au succès de la guerre de
[36:50] résistance ukrainienne nous avons ensuite abordé la situation au moyen-orient avec comme je le disais
[36:57] le qatar l'egypte les émirats arabes unis et là aussi nous avons en g7 des conclusions très claires
[37:01] nous avons unanimement salué le très bon accord conclu entre les états unis d'amérique et l'iran
[37:09] et obtenu par le président trump c'est un accord que nous soutenons parce que c'est un accord qui
[37:15] met fin à une situation de très grande instabilité dont les conséquences pour nos économies étaient
[37:19] terribles chacun le voit dans sa vie de tous les jours on voit sur nos entreprises nos compatriotes
[37:24] le voit et donc c'était une bonne chose d'y mettre un terme nous avons réaffirmé que le droit de passage en
[37:30] transite sans entrave sans redevances à travers le détroit d'hormuz était la pierre angulaire
[37:35] justement de début de cet accord il commence dès maintenant nous avons convenu que l'initiative
[37:43] multinationale et indépendante en matière de défense qui a été co-bâtie par la france et le royaume
[37:48] uni était disposée à jouer un rôle important pour faciliter la reprise du trafic maritime dans le
[37:54] détroit d'hormuz en protégeant les navires marchands c'est évidemment une offre qui est faite mais tout ça
[37:59] dépend des accords passés entre l'iran les états unis d'amérique avec l'accord aussi domaine qui est
[38:06] de l'autre côté de ce détroit en tout cas c'est une disponibilité que nous avons confirmé et on a
[38:12] plusieurs pays qui sont dans la région est prêt à réagir très vite si la demande était faite dont la
[38:16] france et nous avons une vingtaine de pays qui ont d'ores et déjà indiqué leur engagement ferme de
[38:23] contribution à une telle opération dans cet accord nous n'avons pas oublié de souligner l'importance du
[38:31] liban et notre soutien aussi unanime au cessez le feu qui a été obtenu pour le liban cessez le
[38:37] feu solide et immédiat qui est une urgence absolue et la nécessité de défendre l'intégrité
[38:45] territoriale la souveraineté du liban et de l'ensemble des autorités politiques et militaires
[38:51] dans la bande de gaza nous nous sommes aussi engagés à accélérer les efforts humanitaires et de
[38:57] reconstruction de la mise en oeuvre rapide des mesures politiques et de sécurité pertinentes et nous
[39:05] avons appelé à mettre un terme aux violences en cisjordanie ce qui était là aussi une nécessité
[39:11] rappelé par tous et endossé tous nous sommes aussi engagés dans la diversification des voies
[39:18] d'approvisionnement énergétique pour réduire nos vulnérabilités internationales liées au détroit
[39:23] d'hormuz c'est à dire financer ensemble des voies alternatives de circulation du gaz du pétrole pour
[39:31] sortir justement de la région et rejoindre les routes internationales notre déclaration commune a aussi
[39:37] réaffirmer les positions du g7 sur l'indo pacifique quelles sont des positions historiques et
[39:43] constantes mais l'importance de ce point sur le proche et moyen-orient c'est le fait que tous
[39:50] les pays du g7 ont soutenu cet accord mais surtout réinsister sur l'importance de la question d'hormuz du
[39:58] liban et évidemment de la finalisation de discussions nucléaires balistiques et sur la question des
[40:05] déstabilisations régionales qui est une condition de la stabilité de toute la région sur les autres
[40:12] sujets sur les partenariats internationaux sur le sujet sur lequel nous nous sommes vous le savez
[40:17] beaucoup battu ces dernières années nous avons aussi là marqué une avancée concrète à travers les
[40:21] débats qui sont tenus les ministériels et l'accord qui a été obtenu pour cela nous avons eu une réunion de
[40:28] travail avec les pays partenaires le brésil la corée du sud l'egypte l'inde et le kenya ainsi que la banque
[40:33] mondiale et la banque africaine de développement le g7 est pertinent et pertinent à cet égard parce
[40:39] qu'il continue de représenter environ 70% de dette publique au développement et notre réflexion vient
[40:46] de loin parce qu'elle s'est construite sur l'initiative que la france avait bâti justement
[40:51] pour les nouveaux financements pour l'afrique des 2021 le nouveau pacte financier en 2023 qui avait
[40:56] conduit à la création du partenariat pour la prospérité des peuples et la planète et le sommet
[41:04] africa forward de 2026 que nous avons coprésidé avec le président routeau et au fond ce que nous
[41:11] avons conduit à faire advenir ces dernières années et qui a été consolidé endossé dans ce g7 plus
[41:18] c'est d'abord un changement de philosophie profonde nous défendons un concept d'investissement solidaire
[41:25] de partenariat respectueux avec les pays de construction ensemble des solutions de financement et
[41:32] non plus d'une aide verticale qui est faite par des donateurs qui décident des priorités avec des
[41:36] récipiendaires qui ont peu leur mot à dire donc le système traditionnel change de philosophie et
[41:42] c'est acté ensuite c'est la mise en oeuvre d'outils là aussi modernisés avec un travail accru de
[41:52] l'ensemble des acteurs de la finance internationale et c'est ce que nous avons battu bâti ces dernières
[41:58] années à travers l'initiative de quai d'orcé de du ministère des finances et de l'afd à travers
[42:07] finances en commun mais nous avons consolidé endossé le travail de finances en commun et nous
[42:14] avons aussi consolidé des instruments pour améliorer la complémentarité des financements publics et
[42:18] privés et à ce titre je vous renvoie à la déclaration pour ne pas être trop long nous avons
[42:24] rappelé l'importance de la solidarité envers les pays les populations dans les domaines de santé de
[42:28] nutrition d'éducation qui sont des véritables investissements nécessaires pour tous mais
[42:33] nous avons aussi acté du soutien des mécanismes de garantie des premières pertes qui sont la
[42:39] condition pour que par exemple sur le continent africain des investissements privés puissent être
[42:46] réalisés on a aujourd'hui beaucoup de pays dont les notations ou l'absence de notation ne permet
[42:52] pas au secteur privé de se déployer c'est tout le consensus qu'on a construit au sommet africa forward
[42:58] on a décidé d'élargir à l'ensemble du continent un mécanisme qui existait qui s'appelle ATIDI qui
[43:04] garantit les premières pertes il a été endossé par la banque africaine de développement et les pays
[43:09] africains et nous sommes plusieurs pays du g7 à entrer à son capital à accepter d'apporter des
[43:15] garanties et à soutenir son action en la coordonnant aussi avec l'action de la banque mondiale l'importance
[43:21] évidemment de l'IGA et du fonds que construit la banque mondiale pour permettre de prendre les
[43:27] deuxièmes pertes c'est une avancée importante et on va veiller à la mise en oeuvre de ces travaux avec
[43:31] un point de rendez-vous qu'on a donné en marge de l'assemblée générale des nations unies outre ce texte
[43:38] évidemment très important nous avons aussi adopté une déclaration en réponse à l'épidémie d'ebola
[43:43] cette déclaration au delà des pays du g7 a été aussi soutenu par l'inde l'egypte la corée et le kenya sur
[43:51] ebola le message de soutien est clair aider la rdc l'ouganda et tous les territoires qui pourraient
[43:58] être touchés afin de faire face à l'épidémie cela passe par le développement rapide d'un vaccin
[44:04] traitement efficace par la mise en place de procédures adéquates en ligne avec les standards
[44:10] de l'oms le g7 s'est engagé à consacrer plus d'un milliard en réponse d'urgence au travers de cette
[44:16] déclaration ce qui est là aussi très important avec un engagement très fort des européens et des
[44:22] américains derrière cette ce mécanisme et un travail étroit avec cdc africa nous avons également cette
[44:35] fois en matière de coopération scientifique et de santé acté d'un texte important sur la lutte contre
[44:39] le cancer pour la première fois dans l'histoire du g7 et là aussi c'est un moment de reconvergence
[44:45] très important sur les questions de santé qui avait parfois pu donner lieu à des désaccords ou des
[44:51] divisions cette priorité reflète une réalité universelle le cancer tue près de 10 millions de
[44:57] personnes chaque année d'ici 2050 le nombre de nouveaux cas devrait bondir de 80 % à l'échelle
[45:03] mondiale du fait du vieillissement démographique des risques environnementaux et comportementaux et
[45:09] donc cette déclaration ambitieuse place au coeur de la lutte contre le cancer des mécanismes de coopération
[45:15] travers trois grandes priorités cancer pédiatrique ou là nous promouvons le partage de données cancer
[45:22] de mauvais pronostic pour mon foie pancréas et accès universel à des soins de qualité dans les pays
[45:28] riches comme dans les pays en développement ce sommet au delà de ces sujets nous a également permis de
[45:35] faire de vrais progrès sur la question des grands déséquilibres macroéconomiques mondiaux en vue de
[45:43] construire une croissance partagée notamment grâce à tout le travail préparatoire que nous avions fait au
[45:49] rapport d'experts qui avait été rendu au printemps dernier et aux discussions que nous avons pu tenir au
[45:54] fond nous avons tous acté d'un texte qui défend une vision de la croissance équilibrée nous
[45:59] connaissons les grands déséquilibres mondiaux la chine doit traiter le problème des surcapacités
[46:05] des sursubventions et du manque de consommation domestique les européens doivent investir davantage
[46:11] et moderniser et simplifier leurs économies et les états unis doivent traiter la question des déficits
[46:17] jumeaux le consensus s'est établi autour de ces éléments en amont de ce g7 nous avons réussi
[46:24] là aussi de manière inédite à réunir de manière virtuelle un sommet des convergences et nous avons
[46:34] tenu en effet une visioconférence le 11 juin avec les membres du g7 plus et la chine ce qui est une
[46:41] première depuis plus de 20 ans qui a permis de mettre si je puis dire sur la table ce constat pour
[46:47] engager à une meilleure coordination mais au sein du g7 et du g7 plus nous avons vraiment construit
[46:53] commencé à construire des éléments de coordination très clair c'est à dire bâtir l'unité et acter que
[47:00] les divisions tout ce qui fracture nos économies ne permet pas de régler de manière efficace
[47:04] ces déséquilibres et donc au delà du sommet des convergences qui va en quelque sorte enclencher
[47:09] une dynamique on va poursuivre en vue du g20 là la chine sera autour de la table avec beaucoup
[47:14] d'autres nous avons affirmé de manière très claire là aussi des mécanismes de coopération au sein du
[47:20] g7 plus d'abord en actant le rôle du fmi et la consolidation de celui ci en demandant à nos
[47:27] ministres là aussi de travailler pour septembre sur des éléments clés en termes de coopération sur
[47:32] la question des engrais sur la question de l'alimentation qui est absolument clé parce que c'est là où les
[47:37] déséquilibres sont les plus frappants et touchent les populations les plus vulnérables et nous avons
[47:42] également acté de textes importants sur la résistance de nos chaînes de valeurs et en
[47:48] particulier les minerais critiques sur ce sujet où nous avions commencé la discussion l'année
[47:53] dernière sous présidence canadienne jusqu'alors nous n'avions jamais réussir à bâtir des réponses
[47:59] concrètes et nous avions même plutôt des risques de division face à une chine qui a parfois accumulé
[48:07] des réserves stratégiques et ça n'est pas un reproche que je leur fais c'est une stratégie qui a été bâti depuis
[48:12] plus de 15 ans nous sommes tous face à des risques de surdépendance et donc de vulnérabilité de nos
[48:17] chaînes de valeurs si nous y allons en ordre dispersé nous créerons des sur accidents et des
[48:23] déséquilibres encore plus grave et donc nous avons acté d'y aller ensemble en g7 et même en g7 plus et
[48:30] donc ensemble de bâtir des projets de coopération et c'est des projets très concrets qui ont été adoptés
[48:37] d'ailleurs en annexe de la déclaration que j'évoquais c'est à dire réduire ensemble nos sources de
[48:42] dépendance diversifiant ensemble nos sources d'approvisionnement 195 projets concrets 64
[48:48] milliards d'euros d'investissements conjoints ont été bâtis à travers ce texte et c'est comme ça une
[48:53] dynamique qu'on va continuer c'est à mes yeux un point clé pour améliorer la résistance de nos
[48:58] chaînes de valeurs réduire leur dépendance mais le faire de manière coopérative enfin nous avons
[49:04] tenu une discussion à l'instant sur le numérique et l'intelligence artificielle avec l'ensemble des
[49:12] dirigeants du g7 plus et douzaine de dirigeants de tous les pays d'ailleurs du g7 de numérique et
[49:21] de l'intelligence artificielle et qu'est ce qui ressort de cette discussion d'abord la nécessité de
[49:27] protéger l'enfance en ligne on voit le consensus qui monte et du canada aux britanniques en passant
[49:33] évidemment par l'union européenne le brésil l'australie n'était pas là mais je veux saluer son
[49:41] rôle aux avant-postes nous sommes plusieurs à avoir déjà pris des initiatives concrètes et de
[49:46] finaliser des lois nous avons adopté une déclaration pour nous accorder sur la nécessité d'agir et
[49:51] l'importance d'appeler les plateformes à la responsabilité et donc cette dynamique va se
[49:55] poursuivre et le premier ministre maudit a confirmé d'ailleurs ce qu'il avait commencé à annoncer lors
[50:01] du sommet de février dernier à délits et donc là aussi l'inde rejoint ce clan ce qui fait
[50:07] vraiment du g7 plus une plateforme ce qu'il je dirais notre adn g7 ce sont les démocraties libérales
[50:15] qui ont des économies développées g7 plus associé d'autres démocraties et ensemble nous avons cette
[50:21] même approche qui est conforme à nos valeurs démocratiques protéger nos enfants mais c'était
[50:25] un moment très important et c'est un point d'avancée très important nous sommes plusieurs
[50:30] aussi à souligner l'importance de mieux réguler l'intelligence artificielle et son marquage là aussi
[50:35] il est important de bâtir des initiatives je vais le pousser au niveau européen mais ce consensus est
[50:41] nécessaire parce qu'on voit l'impact que cela sur nos démocraties c'était important d'avoir cette
[50:46] discussion avec des dirigeants du numérique et de l'IA et puis sur l'intelligence artificielle nous
[50:52] sommes tous confrontés à la même chose et c'était important qu'il y ait cette discussion commune nous
[50:56] voulons tous l'innovation nous voulons tous avoir des capacités de calcul des centres de données nous
[51:01] voulons tous développer les chances la productivité les transformations les améliorations en matière de
[51:06] santé de numérique que l'IA peut apporter mais nul ne peut plus ignorer ni des dirigeants ni des
[51:15] responsables économiques l'impact sur nos démocraties l'impact sur nos sociétés de l'IA et c'est
[51:22] pourquoi c'est la possibilité la nécessité d'une régulation qui aujourd'hui s'impose elle doit
[51:28] se faire à l'échelle internationale on avait commencé en g7 par une initiative franco-canadienne du
[51:34] partenariat mondial pour l'intelligence artificielle à construire une première structure adossée à l'ocde
[51:38] on doit sur celle ci aller plus loin maintenant et réussir à mieux réguler le défi qui est devant
[51:44] nous et on a eu beaucoup de discussions avec les dirigeants de l'IA et de la technologie comme
[51:50] avec l'administration américaine le défi ce sont ces fameux modèles frontières on doit réussir à mieux
[51:56] les réguler pour éviter qu'il ne tombe dans la main de régimes autoritaires ou de gens qui pourraient
[52:02] menacer notre cybersécurité ou nos sociétés mais pour ce faire la réponse ne peut pas être de la non
[52:09] coopération entre démocratie et donc on est en train de bâtir au fond c'est ça ce qu'on va
[52:14] construire dans les prochains mois et bien en quelque sorte une plateforme de discussion et de
[52:21] coopération entre quelques démocraties face au risque de l'intelligence artificielle une
[52:30] plateforme de coopération pour définir ensemble des standards communs une plateforme de coopération
[52:35] pour partager aussi en matière de cybersécurité largement de sécurité les impacts et donc la
[52:43] bonne réponse c'est exactement cela que nous avons acté et ce sur quoi nous allons continuer le travail
[52:48] avec les uns et les autres et là aussi un point de rendez vous est donné en septembre pour que ce
[52:53] travail puisse être finalisé par l'ensemble de nos ministres on se reverra avec quelques dirigeants
[52:58] en tout cas il ya un large consensus pour dire que là aussi la coopération internationale est
[53:02] nécessaire et refaire le point dans quelques mois voilà je ne veux pas être plus long dire
[53:07] simplement qu'au delà de ce que je viens de détailler des déclarations importantes ont été
[53:11] aussi conclues pour combattre ensemble le narcotrafic travail sur la mise en place d'une alliance des
[53:17] ports pour mieux lutter en renforçant la coordination vous voyez la synergie avec tout ce que fait le
[53:23] gouvernement aujourd'hui en France et pour lutter aussi contre le trafic de migrants avec un texte qui
[53:28] là aussi est dans la continuité des présidences italiennes puis canadiennes et permet d'améliorer
[53:34] nos mécanismes et en coordination et en si je puis dire en synergie avec la déclaration sur les
[53:39] nouveaux partenariats que je viens d'évoquer ce sommet n'est pas pour autant la fin de notre
[53:43] présidence elle se termine à la fin de l'année et donc nous allons continuer les travaux dans les
[53:49] différents formats ministériels requis pour aussi finaliser certains points comme celui que je viens d'évoquer
[53:54] sur il numérique mais il ya eu beaucoup d'avancées historiques dans le g7 sur les sujets que je viens
[54:01] d'évoquer et beaucoup d'avancées très concrètes que nous avons préparé ces derniers mois parfois ces
[54:06] derniers jours que je voulais ici clarifier et dont je voulais vous rendre compte je vais maintenant
[54:11] répondre à vos questions je vous remercie monsieur le président bonjour Valérie Leroux de l'agence France
[54:21] presse vous avez beaucoup parlé de convergence alors sur l'ukraine pour parler plus précisément est-ce
[54:28] qu'on a assisté durant ce sommet à un tournant à la fois dans l'attitude et dans la position du
[54:34] président trump concernant l'ukraine est ce qu'il y aura un avant et un après évident sur ce sujet
[54:41] l'avez vous aussi convaincu qu'une négociation avec la russie ça doit commencer sur la ligne de
[54:47] front et non pas par des concessions territoriales sur le donbass ce qui ne figure pas dans la déclaration
[54:52] commune des sept dirigeants et enfin est poussure de pouvoir faire confiance au président trump alors
[55:00] même qu'il est arrivé ici en menaçant la france de nouvelles de nouveaux droits de douane sur les
[55:06] vins français alors d'abord j'ai trois trois éléments premier élément le texte que nous avons
[55:16] endossé il est beaucoup plus fort que ce que vous venez de dire puisqu'il reconnaît l'intégrité
[55:21] territoriale ukrainienne donc il dit exactement ce qu'on soutient à 7 ça n'est pas à nous de dire
[55:29] où commence et comment se structure la discussion sur les territoires nous l'avons toujours dit
[55:34] serions nous dans la situation des ukrainiens nous ne supporterions pas d'être que d'autres viennent
[55:39] stipuler pour nous et donc en quelque sorte c'est ce qu'on a tous endossé la question des
[55:43] territoires sont les ukrainiens qui les discutent par contre ce qu'a dit très clairement le président
[55:47] trump devrait être beaucoup plus dur les territoires devraient revenir aux ukrainiens sont
[55:53] leurs territoires il a raison et donc le soutien à l'intégrité territoriale ukrainienne dit dit la
[55:59] position du g7 ensuite on n'a pas parlé de discussions dans ce texte du g7 si vous regardez
[56:06] bien et c'est ça le tournant ça fait des mois que les états unis ont pris l'initiative et d'ailleurs
[56:13] on a salué ils ont dit nous on va négocier avec la russie parce que nous états unis d'amérique on peut
[56:19] construire la paix avec la russie et d'arrache pied je veux saluer ici l'engagement américain dans
[56:24] différents formats il ya eu une discussion des mains tendues à l'égard de la russie qu'elle a
[56:27] été la réponse rien nous européens en train de s'organiser on a dit on va se réengager pour
[56:34] discuter avec la russie rien le président zelinski a dit moi je vais me réengager je veux discuter je
[56:41] suis prêt je suis même prêt à ce que le président poutine vienne et on va discuter ensemble je ne
[56:47] viens pas ou alors il faut signer votre reddition en bas donc le président trump comme nous tous on a
[56:54] juste acté qu'il n'y avait pas de volonté sérieuse de la russie aujourd'hui de discuter la paix et donc
[57:02] je ne sais pas vous dire s'il y aura un avant un après c'est pas moi d'en juger ce sont les faits
[57:06] qui vous le diront le sommet d'évian ce que je peux vous dire c'est qu'il ya eu un pendant il ya eu
[57:13] un moment évian à coup sûr sur l'ukraine et ce moment c'est que tout le monde a écouté l'état de la
[57:20] situation par le président zelinski avec beaucoup de respect que tout le monde a constaté que l'ukraine
[57:25] résistait beaucoup mieux que certains ne pouvaient le penser et que la russie était dans une situation
[57:31] difficile et que tous nous avons dit on va accroître notre soutien à l'ukraine que tous
[57:37] nous avons dit nous allons accroître la pression sur la russie et que nous tous nous avons dit nous
[57:41] devons tenir ce chemin ça c'est un vrai changement c'est un vrai changement par rapport à tous les
[57:49] derniers mois pas de la part des européens mais de la part des membres du g7 et de tous celles de
[57:55] toutes celles et ceux qui sont appelés à soutenir justement l'ukraine donc oui je pense très profondément
[58:02] que ce sommet déviant est un changement très profond de l'approche une volonté des états unis
[58:10] d'amérique de travailler avec les européens en soutien de l'ukraine une volonté commune d'avancer
[58:19] sur ce dossier et ce qui a été acté en termes de soutien militaire sur les systèmes de défense
[58:25] sur les capacités de longue portée et sur le licensing c'est absolument clé sur votre question sur la
[58:34] confiance j'ai toujours eu confiance pour ma part dans le président trump parce que je lui ai
[58:41] toujours dit les choses quand nous avons des désaccords nous les assumons mais quand il s'est
[58:46] engagé vis-à-vis de nous il a toujours fait ce à quoi il s'engageait et là aujourd'hui les états
[58:51] unis d'amérique se sont engagés sur ce sujet et ça c'est important il ya eu des articles qui ont pu
[58:58] dire que des droits de douane pouvait réapparaître ou des propos un peu dans l'importe pièce moi je sais
[59:04] c'est une chose on a eu une discussion bilatérale au début de ce sommet cette discussion a été
[59:13] extrêmement claire et respectueuse entre nous et cette discussion nous a permis d'acter qu'il y
[59:21] avait un travail conjoint à mener sur l'ensemble des relations tarifaires pour continuer d'améliorer
[59:26] la copie et donc est ce que ça veut dire les européens viennent de finaliser leur accord sur
[59:34] le texte qui avait été négocié il ya un an élément de stabilité s'il ya des points qui continuent à poser
[59:39] problème de part et d'autre travail conjoint mais en aucun cas entre partenaires on ne doit
[59:44] s'imposer des tarifs ou s'imposer de l'instabilité et donc je crois pouvoir vous dire que oui c'est ce
[59:51] g7 a permis une chose de manière très simple et très claire c'est de discuter très précisément sur
[59:56] les points qui pouvaient être des points d'incompréhension et de développer ensemble des
[1:00:00] mécanismes de coopération c'était positif bonjour monsieur le président noemi bisserbe de votre
[1:00:12] journal la france et les autres pays du g7 ont-ils demandé au président trump de permettre
[1:00:17] l'accès aux derniers modèles dit à d'anthropique l'europe selon selon vous a-t-elle besoin de ces
[1:00:23] modèles les plus avancés et si je peux revenir rapidement sur l'ukraine vous avez dit au président
[1:00:27] ukrainien hier matin si on a bien entendu que les discussions avec le président américain avait été
[1:00:31] difficile lundi soir pourquoi est ce que vous pouvez nous en dire un petit peu plus sur ce qui s'est passé
[1:00:36] merci je peux vous très clairement vous dire on a eu des discussions qui ont permis de de
[1:00:40] resynchroniser notre lecture de la situation elles ont été extrêmement franches je crois extrêmement utile et
[1:00:46] fructueuse puisqu'on a endossé en g7 quelque chose qui est une vraie avancée et donc moi je suis très
[1:00:52] heureux des échanges qu'on a eu l'échange qu'on a eu ensuite avec le président zelinski et vous savez
[1:00:57] bien qu'on a pu avoir des doutes ou des désaccords il y a maintenant un peu plus d'un an on part d'une
[1:01:02] situation où il y avait des vrais désaccords même entre nous quand on se réunit il y a un an pour le
[1:01:09] g7 la position était très différente donc on a fait évoluer les choses comment les européens avec des
[1:01:15] grands partenaires le canada le japon l'australie la nouvelle zélande la corée ont bâti cette
[1:01:21] coalition des volontaires pour dire on apportera les garanties de sécurité on a tenu avec constance
[1:01:27] aux côtés des ukrainiens les ukrainiens ont résisté ont eu des bons résultats et les états unis
[1:01:31] d'amérique ont avec nous regardé en conscience quelle était la situation l'importance qu'on soit
[1:01:39] tous ensemble le refus comme je le disais à votre confrère de la russie de discuter de manière sincère et
[1:01:44] l'impossibilité d'avancer sur des bases de discussions qui sont pas acceptables et donc
[1:01:49] ce qui a permis de dégager l'ensemble des discussions celle qu'on avait eu en g7 puis celle avec le
[1:01:54] président zelinski ça a été au fond une resynchronisation une reconvergence une coopération de tous dans
[1:02:03] notre approche de l'ukraine et dans les décisions qu'on a prises et qui sont dans notre texte commun c'est
[1:02:07] une très bonne chose ensuite sur les modèles frontières d'intelligence artificielle d'abord ce
[1:02:14] sont des modèles qui par la puissance de calcul mobilisé marque des avancées très fortes aujourd'hui
[1:02:21] ce sont les américains qui les ont quelle est leur crainte que ces modèles puissent être
[1:02:28] utilisés par d'autres pour venir les attaquer ou nous attaquer face à ça il y a une décision très
[1:02:33] forte qui a été prise par l'administration il quelques jours alors bonne chose prise de conscience
[1:02:38] ça peut être dangereux jusqu'alors il y avait un discours ambiant qui consistait à dire faut rien
[1:02:43] réguler jamais tout ça n'est pas dangereux c'est une bonne chose qui est une prise de conscience mauvaise
[1:02:48] chose la réaction elle est en quelque sorte strictement nationaliste je crois que les
[1:02:54] discussions techniques qui se sont tenues entre les dirigeants de la technologie de l'IA et les
[1:03:00] gouvernants entre nous ont permis d'éclairer les enjeux et de dire au fond quel est votre enjeu
[1:03:07] notre enjeu c'est que on est tous axés entre démocratie à ces technologies c'est bon pour vos
[1:03:14] compagnies parce que sinon elles n'ont plus de marché parce que sinon on n'achètera plus aucun modèle qui
[1:03:18] est fait par une de ces compagnies si du jour au lendemain vous pouvez tourner l'interrupteur
[1:03:21] parce que la stratégie non coopérative fait que ça tue en quelque sorte le business model de tout
[1:03:26] acteur de l'IA américain si du jour au lendemain il peut être interdit au reste de la planète ça reverra
[1:03:31] les revalorisations on va pas avoir les mêmes valorisations donc le même capital donc les mêmes
[1:03:35] capacités de calcul donc c'est pas bon pour vous ensuite c'est idiot pour nous enfin ce que vous voulez
[1:03:41] c'est que des régimes autoritaires ou des tiers n'accèdent pas à cela donc allons-y ensemble et avançons et donc
[1:03:48] la réponse à ça c'est on a commencé la discussion on a des vraies ouvertures on va coopérer il faut
[1:03:55] que nos agences compétentes déjà coopèrent pour que sur le plan de la sécurité de la
[1:03:59] cybersécurité on est de gouvernement à gouvernement une relation fluide je suis très confiant dans les
[1:04:04] prochains jours et ensuite je pense qu'entre membres du g7 en tout cas avec quelques pays clés il faut
[1:04:09] une politique beaucoup plus ouverte y compris du secteur privé là aussi je suis confiant pour les
[1:04:13] prochaines semaines je dirais puis en parallèle qu'est ce qu'on fait on va accélérer les
[1:04:19] investissements et la mobilisation des capacités de calcul pour nos propres modèles savez il y a
[1:04:24] très peu de pays au monde qui hors états unis et hors chine peuvent avoir peuvent être dans la
[1:04:29] compétition des modèles frontières la france a la chance avec mistral et haye de faire partie de ce
[1:04:34] club c'est le seul c'est la seule compagnie en europe c'est sans doute l'une des deux trois hors
[1:04:39] états unis et chine à pouvoir le faire ça veut dire qu'on doit aller beaucoup plus vite pour les aider à
[1:04:43] mobiliser les financements et les capacités de calcul accru pour pouvoir justement rattraper ce
[1:04:49] retard le plus vite possible dans les 6 12 mois qui viennent la clé elle est là mais je crois
[1:04:55] que l'importance du débat qu'on a eu aujourd'hui ces derniers jours c'est au fond de dire tout ça ne
[1:05:01] peut se faire de manière intelligente que si on coopère entre les quelques démocraties clés sinon
[1:05:07] on fracture le monde et sinon on n'a pas une réponse efficace bonjour monsieur le président bastian
[1:05:16] j'ai pour tf1 lci sur l'iran vous avez une nouvelle fois parler d'un très bon accord alors
[1:05:20] qu'on entend aussi beaucoup d'inquiétude sur sa solidité alors concrètement ce que vous pouvez
[1:05:25] nous dire qu'est ce qui vous fait dire que cet accord est un bon accord est ce que vous estimez
[1:05:29] qu'il ya assez de garantie de la part des iraniens est ce que vous pensez qu'il peut déboucher sur un
[1:05:34] accord de long terme aussi satisfaisant que celui de 2015 et juste pour compléter le président trump tout
[1:05:40] à l'heure a menacé de bombarder à nouveau l'iran est ce que c'est à prendre au sérieux selon vous
[1:05:45] est ce que ça traduit aussi une forme de fragilité de la situation je pense que parfois il ya des mots
[1:05:52] qui sont pris des formules moi dont je comprends le sens parce que je connais le caractère qui qui
[1:05:59] au fond de restaurer sa crédibilité en disant qu'il ya des capacités de dissuasion c'est ça ce que veut
[1:06:06] dire le président trump quand il dit ça de la même manière que quand il peut dire des choses sur les
[1:06:10] tarifs c'est pour rappeler que les états unis ont une capacité de dissuasion nous le savons je pense qu'il faut
[1:06:16] pas l'interpréter comme une menace de court terme voilà donc c'est important il ya un accord qui a
[1:06:23] été signé il y avait beaucoup de gens pour dire qu'il fallait pas signer d'accord moi je pense
[1:06:29] cet accord est une bonne chose et c'est pourquoi nous le soutenons et d'ailleurs c'est pourquoi il a été
[1:06:34] soutenu par tous les pays du g7 plus c'est ce qui règle tout tout de suite non mais continuer le combat
[1:06:42] c'était quoi avoir pour des mois ormous fermé prendre le risque de détruire des capacités de pétrole et de
[1:06:49] gaz qui là aurait tout déséquilibré pour des mois voire des années continuer la perte de vie et la
[1:06:55] situation qui est inacceptable au liban et l'effondrement de toute la région donc on a une
[1:07:00] responsabilité humanitaire politique économique donc cet accord qui met fin au combat partout du
[1:07:07] détroit d'ormuz au liban c'est une bonne chose donc moi je le soutiens je pense qu'il est nécessaire et
[1:07:12] c'est très bien qu'il se soutient du g7 plus derrière la décision américaine elle est sage deuxième chose il faut
[1:07:21] que tout le monde suive cet accord et donc au premier chef l'iran qui a pris l'engagement y compris
[1:07:27] durant les 60 jours la première phase de rouvrir sans péage le détroit d'ormuz évidemment d'arrêter
[1:07:33] les combats et que derrière toutes les parties prenantes aussi ne reprennent pas les combats au
[1:07:38] liban et ça c'est clé l'iran le hezbollah et derrière aussi israël je mets pas un signe égal enfin je
[1:07:48] dis juste que qui que ce soit les combats ne doivent pas reprendre ça doit être la paix et ensuite la clé
[1:07:54] c'est en effet de finaliser un bon accord sur le nucléaire les activités balistiques et les
[1:08:00] risques régionaux et donc c'est exactement ce sur quoi le travail va se concentrer dans les
[1:08:05] prochaines semaines avec un rôle important de l'agence internationale énergie atomique avec
[1:08:11] un rôle important des quelques pays qui sont les garants du DCPO et des sanctions internationales
[1:08:17] et la france y jouera son rôle donc moi je suis je pense c'est vraiment la meilleure situation
[1:08:23] possible qu'on peut avoir aujourd'hui est ce qu'elle règle tout non est ce qu'il ya des risques oui comme
[1:08:29] dans toute situation mais c'est important nous de mettre la pression pour la soutenir parce que
[1:08:33] c'est celle qui permet le plus sûrement d'avoir la paix et le plus sûrement de retrouver un chemin
[1:08:37] de prospérité bonjour monsieur le président d'alham awad al arabi tv je reprends un peu la question de
[1:08:47] mon confrère sur l'accord avec l'iran pour être plus précise avez vous avez vous eu des garanties de la part
[1:08:54] du président américain sur l'élimination du stock d'iranium enrichi et s'il ya des garanties quelles
[1:09:03] sont ces garanties parce que donald trump affirme qu'il n'y a pas d'urgence sur ce sujet et puis
[1:09:08] sur le liban l'iran menace de se retirer de l'accord si israël ne respecte pas le cc le feu ou se retire
[1:09:15] donc encore une question quelle garantie les états unis vous ont donné à cet égard merci sur l'uranium
[1:09:24] enrichi ce sera évidemment un des sujets clés de l'accord sur le nucléaire qui doit être finalisé
[1:09:32] au plus tard sous 60 jours nous connaissons les modalités soit de la dilution sur place soit
[1:09:38] du transfert sous l'autorité de l'aïe a il ya plusieurs modalités techniques mais la question
[1:09:43] évidemment fera partie des questions qui doivent être résolues pour qu'il y ait un accord sur le
[1:09:48] nucléaire simplement elle se fera à l'issue de ces 60 jours et du processus qui s'ouvre ce que je pense
[1:09:55] voulait dire le président trump c'est que aujourd'hui c'est la question du cessez le feu de la réouverture
[1:09:59] d'hormuz et de la paix au liban mais donc les deux mois qui viennent sont des mois durant lesquels on
[1:10:05] va régler cette question elle ne peut pas être laissée ouverte évidemment de même que la surveillance sur
[1:10:11] les activités de d'enrichissement potentiel à venir de surveillance de tous les sites et de remise
[1:10:17] en ordre d'un travail exhaustif de l'aïe sur le liban nous connaissons la situation et donc on sait
[1:10:26] exactement ce qu'il faut faire c'est très compliqué ça ne se fera pas du jour au lendemain faut plus
[1:10:31] que l'iran frappe le territoire il faut plus que le hezbollah lance des activités sur le sol libanais
[1:10:38] ou depuis le sol libanais contre israël il faut plus qu'israël réagissent immédiatement donc c'est
[1:10:43] un appel au calme de tous pour arrêter les frappes et ce qui touche la population civile cesser le
[1:10:49] feu ensuite la clé c'est le soutien au président haoum au premier ministre salam alors à son gouvernement
[1:10:57] et aux forces armées libanaises et c'est de leur permettre de mettre en oeuvre ce à quoi ils se
[1:11:03] sont engagés avec beaucoup de courage et de constance c'est à dire le monopole des armes aux
[1:11:09] forces armées libanaises et la restauration de leur autorité sur tout le territoire et donc il faut
[1:11:14] absolument que cessent ces bombardements pour que progressivement sur déjà tout le territoire
[1:11:18] au nord libanie les forces armées libanaises aient repris la totalité du contrôle tiennent les choses et que
[1:11:26] le calme reviennent puis progressivement qu'on ait un mécanisme à travers des zones progressives comme
[1:11:31] on l'avait fait il ya deux ans sans doute nous puissions avoir des forces armées libanaises
[1:11:35] qui reprennent progressivement le contrôle de leur propre territoire et que la communauté
[1:11:40] internationale fasse respecter la souveraineté du liban voilà donc à court terme en tout cas on
[1:11:46] connaît les protagonistes et c'est un appel à leurs responsabilités l'iran évidemment une
[1:11:51] responsabilité imminente c'est elle qui doit veiller au fait que ni elle-même directement ni le
[1:11:56] hezbollah ne viennent dégrader la situation et israël aussi a une responsabilité en respectant ce
[1:12:03] cesser le feu pour ce qui la concerne et je sais que ça a été l'objet aussi de beaucoup de discussions
[1:12:07] entre le président trump et le premier ministre netanyahou président trump en tout cas a été très
[1:12:11] clair sur ce point avec notre plein soutien bonjour monsieur le président julian l'écuyer du
[1:12:23] journal la voix du nord certains français s'interrogent sur la manière dont vous déroulez le tapis rouge à
[1:12:29] donald trump vous l'avez rappelé vous même vous le citez trois fois dans cette déclaration commune pour le
[1:12:34] féliciter pour un accord dont les contours sont plus qu'incertain et dont le risque est qu'il nous
[1:12:39] ramène à une citation à une situation bien pire qu'avant la guerre il y a ce dîner à versailles que
[1:12:45] vous justifiez par l'anniversaire des 200 250 ans de l'indépendance sans que certains ont là aussi
[1:12:52] en france ne puisse empêcher d'y lire une nouvelle entreprise de séduction monsieur le président n'en faites
[1:12:57] vous pas trop à l'égard d'un président qui peut changer d'avis dans l'heure voir menacer la
[1:13:02] france de rétorsion économique monsieur président est ce que c'est l'idée que vous faites d'un rapport
[1:13:08] de force merci merci pour votre question savez si je n'avais pas tenu de manière constante les
[1:13:17] positions qui ont été les miennes durant les derniers mois vous pourriez avoir un doute sur
[1:13:23] les rapports de force for sure mais quand il s'est agi de la sécurité du danemark et la question du
[1:13:33] groenland quand il s'est agi de l'intégrité territoriale de l'ukraine et de la paix et de la
[1:13:38] sécurité en europe quand il s'est agi de nos producteurs je n'ai jamais été ambigus ni
[1:13:45] faible et j'ai toujours été clair dans l'expression de mes désaccords très clair soit à washington soit
[1:13:53] à davos ou ailleurs mais j'ai toujours maintenu le dialogue parce que c'est ça la diplomatie si la
[1:14:00] diplomatie ça n'est que recevoir des gens avec qui vous êtes totalement d'accord la question que
[1:14:04] poseront vos successeurs c'est au fond à quoi servent ces réunions vous savez que vous êtes d'accord
[1:14:08] avec ces gens ça sert à rien de les voir regarder tous les sujets que j'évoque depuis tout à l'heure si nous
[1:14:14] n'avions pas vu aujourd'hui le président trump son équipe si pendant les deux derniers jours on
[1:14:18] n'avait pas tenu ce g7 ou en serions nous sur l'ia un clash constant parce que sinon ce monde ne se
[1:14:25] parle que par tweet ou par déclaration de presse interposés et donc quand on reconverge quand on
[1:14:31] arrive à dire on est d'accord sur les ans j'ai été le premier à dire quand je pensais que c'était
[1:14:35] pas approprié de faire des frappes unilatérales sans objectifs clairs il ya une paix qui est signée avec
[1:14:40] des objectifs clairs le liban qui est dedans la dénucléarisation en tout cas des garanties claires sur le
[1:14:45] nucléaire je suis d'accord je soutiens sur l'ukraine on soutient l'intégrité territoriale on soutient avec
[1:14:52] force leur rééquipement des sanctions sur la russie on se réengage quelque chose se passe sur
[1:14:58] l'intelligence artificielle on reconverge oui quelque chose se passe chacun à son style ensuite et je ne
[1:15:04] le commande pas mais je pense que le rôle de la france c'est de tenir tête et d'assumer sa voix quand
[1:15:12] il ya des désaccords que ses intérêts ne sont pas pris en compte mais c'est aussi d'être
[1:15:16] accueillante de savoir honorer ses invités et je le fais somme toute du premier ministre indien en
[1:15:23] passant par le président indonésien au président du kenya ou du nigéria jusqu'au président américain
[1:15:29] parce que je pense que la force de la france est aussi cela et nos grandes actions diplomatiques se
[1:15:34] sont aussi tenues par des capacités à bien accueillir le monde ou les autres grands dirigeants ça passe par là
[1:15:40] aussi et n'ayons pas honte de ce que nous sommes versailles est un instrument diplomatique et un
[1:15:46] instrument de puissance et vous savez quoi je l'ai utilisé dès juin 2017 il ya eu des choses qu'on a
[1:15:51] obtenu puis après on en a ça s'est pas aussi bien passé que ça avec le président que j'ai accueilli en
[1:15:56] juin 2017 en tout cas je l'assume totalement parce qu'à chaque fois en tenant une position de
[1:16:03] fermeté ou en réengageant et en accueillant avec chaleur je défends les intérêts de mon pays c'est ça
[1:16:11] ce qui compte et quand je défends les intérêts de notre pays de la france j'ai à coeur de le
[1:16:18] faire en accueillant bien les gens en faisant en sorte qu'il soit bienveillant avec nous et que
[1:16:22] derrière ils prennent les bonnes décisions pour nous je crois que c'est ce que les français attendent
[1:16:26] de moi et au fond je suis comme les bleus que je joue à l'extérieur ou à domicile mon but c'est de
[1:16:31] marquer des buts voilà et quand j'accueille des équipes j'essaie de bien les accueillir
[1:16:36] nous arrivons à la fin de cette conférence de presse merci beaucoup une toute dernière question ok je
[1:16:44] n'ai pas le merci président monsieur le président c'est avec plaisir que je suis là et je pose des
[1:16:54] questions au nom aussi des autres et journées journalistes de mon pays le brésil je suis
[1:16:59] correspondante en europe pour globo chaîne télévision du brésil votre équipe m'a dit déjà que vous voyez
[1:17:08] président lula comme un intellecteur important avec les sud global avec les brics spécialement
[1:17:17] mais les brésils n'a pas signé la majorité des déclarations de ce sommet de ces g7 il ya
[1:17:27] une interprétation selon laquelle c'était tout pour avoir l'unité avec président donald trump
[1:17:38] avec un discours d'antagonisme contre la chine et aussi en laissant à côté des questions très
[1:17:47] importants les rôles des onus la crise climatique qui répondez vous à ces critiques être vous déçus
[1:17:57] avec la position du brésil et juste pour finir est ce que vous avez discuté avec lula aussi l'interdiction
[1:18:05] des importations des viandes brésilienne par l'union européenne merci alors sur votre deuxième
[1:18:12] question c'est une décision ponctuelle du commissaire européen et qui fait bien son travail c'est à dire
[1:18:21] qu'en fait il contrôle si les règles sanitaires pour protéger le consommateur européen sont respectés
[1:18:26] quand elles ne sont pas respectés il interdit ou refait des contrôles c'est ce que j'ai toujours
[1:18:29] défendu parce que vous êtes dans une région aussi qui a un gros potentiel agricole comment vous voulez moi
[1:18:35] que je dise à mes producteurs tu n'as pas le droit d'utiliser tel ou tel antibiotique pour produire de
[1:18:39] la viande ou du lait puis on va importer des de la viande ou du lait qui vient du bout du monde
[1:18:44] qui l'utilisent vous êtes fou et président lula c'est un grand leader social et environnemental
[1:18:49] nous aussi mais nous on le fait donc le commissaire européen a raison et on contrôle après votre deuxième
[1:18:57] question j'ai envie de dire c'est plutôt président lula qu'il faut la poser c'est à lui de dire s'il s'engage
[1:19:02] moi je vais vous dire de manière très pragmatique ce qu'on a fait soit on dit on veut aller sur tous
[1:19:09] les sujets on sait qu'on n'est pas d'accord avec les états unis d'amérique sur le climat on sait
[1:19:13] qu'on n'est pas d'accord sur le rôle de l'onu du board of peace on sait qu'on n'est pas d'accord
[1:19:18] c'est aussi un des sujets sur lesquels j'ai tenu tête on a essayé de les ouvrir quand ça marche pas
[1:19:24] on va pas faire du 6 plus 1 sinon ça sert à rien de faire un g7 et là on fait même un g7 plus par contre
[1:19:30] moi je pense à beaucoup de valeurs d'avoir les états unis d'amérique qui signe avec nous un texte sur les
[1:19:36] minerais critiques et les chaînes de valeur énorme valeur et c'est l'intérêt du brésil de le signer avec
[1:19:41] les états unis d'amérique pas faire de mauvaise politique en la matière parce que là on est
[1:19:45] beaucoup plus fort et je vous dis une chose ce g7 n'a jamais été à aucun moment anti chinois parce
[1:19:51] que ce n'est pas la position de la france ça c'est inacceptable de dire ça nous sommes conscients des
[1:19:56] différences que nous avons avec la chine en particulier nos rapports aux valeurs démocratiques des
[1:20:00] désaccords qu'on peut avoir là aussi mais il ya toujours une politique de respect on veut
[1:20:03] simplement réduire nos dépendances mais il n'y a pas de conflit c'est pas un g7 anti chinois du
[1:20:08] tout ça n'a pas été du tout l'esprit d'ailleurs mais on avance et donc moi je trouve que signer
[1:20:14] un texte avec les états unis d'amérique sur les minerais critiques sur le cancer sur ebola sur
[1:20:19] les partenariats internationaux sur le commerce sur l'ia ça a beaucoup de valeurs et mieux que ça
[1:20:25] on avait des doutes en commençant est-ce qu'on sera d'accord sur le proche et moyen-orient est-ce
[1:20:30] qu'on sera d'accord sur l'ukraine pour ça qu'il n'y avait pas de rédaction antérieure tout le travail
[1:20:36] qui a été fait avant hier soir et hier ça a été de recréer les convergences d'où cette
[1:20:40] atmosphère positive et ces convergences on les a mis dans le dur et on a signé avec les états unis
[1:20:46] un texte de paix au proche et moyen-orient d'exigence de paix pour le liban pour empêcher
[1:20:55] le nucléaire iranien et un texte de soutien à l'ukraine inédit ça a énormément de valeur donc
[1:21:01] je défends cette méthode parce qu'elle produit des résultats elle est bonne voilà mesdames et messieurs
[1:21:06] je remercie une fois encore toutes les équipes qui ont permis cela et ces avancées pour moi très
[1:21:11] importantes c'était un grand honneur d'être d'être là de la france pour ce deuxième g7 que
[1:21:18] nous avions organisé ces dernières années je veux aussi avoir un mot pour nos amis voisins
[1:21:22] suisse qui nous ont aidé à organiser ce ce g7 et qui ont eu aussi beaucoup de logistique à assurer
[1:21:29] et des éléments divers et variés à tenir et donc je voudrais vraiment leur dire un très grand
[1:21:36] merci pour cette coopération voilà mesdames et messieurs un grand merci bon courage
[1:21:40] cyril un test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test
[1:58:55] c'est que nous avons eu un grand événement c'était quelque chose très spéciale et je voudrais remercier le président Macron et la Brigitte
[1:59:04] qui est vraiment belle femme et fantastique personne pour nous accueillir à la France pour un
[1:59:11] extrêmement succès au G7 et je dirais que c'est l'un des plus succès au
[1:59:17] bien ce moment-là on a eu un maximum de temps tout le monde
[1:59:22] la chance au tâche d'un accord avec Iran qui s'agirait tout le monde
[1:59:26] toutes les choses que nous aimons accomplissent tout le monde et tout le monde
[1:59:28] plus plus
[1:59:29] le conflit avant la nuée de l'avns pour ce qu'on appelle le Strait de Hormbo
[1:59:33] et éviter que l'on peutøtent à l'aude de avancer une
[1:59:35] a nuclear weapon et c'est qu'il y a une épaune
[1:59:38] qui était h Verfügung à la couture de 99%
[1:59:43] pas une novele
[1:59:44] ils ne peuvent pas développer ou avoir nus
[1:59:47] It can never have an nuclear weapon.
[1:59:49] At the same time, with this announcement, or close to it,
[1:59:55] as people started to think it was going to happen,
[1:59:57] when Iran was making some very positive statements,
[2:00:01] the stock market has surged to record highs,
[2:00:05] picking up thousands of points over the last short period of time.
[2:00:08] Thousands of points.
[2:00:11] And oil is dropping like it has never dropped before at levels.
[2:00:16] It went in numbers.
[2:00:18] Down $7, down $8.
[2:00:24] They've never seen anything like that.
[2:00:26] But if we didn't do this deal,
[2:00:29] we could have dropped more bombs for another three weeks,
[2:00:32] two weeks, four weeks, two years.
[2:00:36] You would never have the harmless trade open.
[2:00:40] You would never have success.
[2:00:42] Your market would have, instead of going up at levels
[2:00:45] that nobody's ever seen before,
[2:00:46] would go down at levels that nobody ever saw before,
[2:00:50] maybe except for 1929 or whatever.
[2:00:52] And, you know, all the tough guys.
[2:00:55] The tough guys don't realize that this wasn't a three-month deal.
[2:00:59] This was years in the making.
[2:01:00] You know why?
[2:01:01] Because I was the one that killed General Soleimani.
[2:01:06] If I didn't kill General Soleimani,
[2:01:08] we probably wouldn't be talking right now about this deal,
[2:01:11] because he was a genius, able to replace him.
[2:01:19] A lot of people forget that.
[2:01:20] The tough guys, you know,
[2:01:21] the tough guys that would drive the country right down the tubes.
[2:01:25] The past two days have provided a chance
[2:01:28] to discuss the details of this historic agreement
[2:01:30] with many of our closest friends,
[2:01:32] including the G7 nations,
[2:01:35] and many presidents and prime ministers,
[2:01:37] as you saw.
[2:01:38] Minister Modi was here.
[2:01:40] We had a long talk.
[2:01:41] Great guy.
[2:01:42] They are thrilled that we made a deal.
[2:01:45] Every one of them.
[2:01:46] There's not one nation that came to us and said,
[2:01:49] please, sir, keep dropping bombs on them.
[2:01:52] Please keep dropping bombs.
[2:01:53] The stupid people say that.
[2:01:56] But I'm thrilled to report.
[2:01:58] And, by the way,
[2:01:59] those last two days were brutal.
[2:02:03] $200 million worth of bombs.
[2:02:05] And, you know, it is expensive, too, by the way,
[2:02:08] aside from everything else.
[2:02:11] And they knew I was coming for a third night.
[2:02:13] We informed them we're coming for a third night.
[2:02:14] They didn't have their Navy.
[2:02:16] It sunk.
[2:02:17] They didn't have their Air Force.
[2:02:18] It's gone.
[2:02:19] Not one plane.
[2:02:21] They didn't have anti-aircraft equipment.
[2:02:23] So we got free reign.
[2:02:26] They didn't have their leaders.
[2:02:28] But they have a new group of leaders that I think is,
[2:02:31] actually, I think they're smarter.
[2:02:33] I think they're very smart.
[2:02:35] I think they're far less radicalized.
[2:02:37] And I think they're really, they love their country.
[2:02:44] And, you know, you talk about regime change.
[2:02:47] Nobody will say that.
[2:02:48] But I guess that's, look,
[2:02:49] one set of leaders is all gone.
[2:02:52] The second set of leaders is all gone.
[2:02:55] The third set of leaders is a little bit gone.
[2:02:58] But for the most part, and frankly,
[2:03:00] I think that's regime change.
[2:03:02] I think they're going to behave much differently.
[2:03:04] I think they see a different way of life
[2:03:06] that they were never exposed to.
[2:03:09] So the one thing I didn't want to see is,
[2:03:12] I didn't want to see economic catastrophe.
[2:03:15] If you kept this going, that could have happened.
[2:03:19] But all I know is every time we talked about
[2:03:20] the possibility of peace,
[2:03:22] the stock market shot up like a rocket ship.
[2:03:25] It never went down.
[2:03:27] They didn't like it.
[2:03:28] The people, you know,
[2:03:29] the stock market is more brilliant
[2:03:30] than anybody there is,
[2:03:32] including the people on this stage,
[2:03:35] other than me, of course.
[2:03:38] Let's see.
[2:03:39] I don't know.
[2:03:39] What do you think, Scott?
[2:03:40] Is the stock market more brilliant than you?
[2:03:42] Oh, that's a terrible statement.
[2:03:47] The stock market is quite brilliant.
[2:03:51] And every time we said something amazing,
[2:03:55] like we're going to settle,
[2:03:57] it would go up.
[2:03:58] And every time we said something negative,
[2:04:00] like, guess what?
[2:04:01] We're not going to be able to settle.
[2:04:03] It would go down very big, Peter.
[2:04:05] Very, very big.
[2:04:07] Tells you something.
[2:04:09] And, you know, I've studied presidents.
[2:04:11] Some good, some bad, some great.
[2:04:14] Not too many are great.
[2:04:16] And some really bad.
[2:04:18] We had one just recently.
[2:04:21] And the one president I did not want to be
[2:04:23] was the late, great Herbert Hoover.
[2:04:27] I didn't want that.
[2:04:28] Who knows what would have happened?
[2:04:31] But bad things happen.
[2:04:32] So the past few days have provided a chance
[2:04:35] to discuss the details of the deal
[2:04:38] with the closest friends and allies,
[2:04:40] the heads of countries.
[2:04:42] They were all here, a lot of them.
[2:04:44] Far more than the seven, as you know.
[2:04:46] A lot of them.
[2:04:47] And they put out a statement.
[2:04:50] I think President Macron,
[2:04:52] who did a great job, by the way,
[2:04:53] did a really fan of him and Bridget,
[2:04:55] they did a great job.
[2:04:56] But they all put out statements saying
[2:04:58] they love this deal
[2:05:02] because they want to see it over.
[2:05:04] And they love the fact that the hormones...
[2:05:07] Don't forget, if we were going to drop bombs,
[2:05:10] let's say we want another month,
[2:05:12] another two, three months, maybe weeks.
[2:05:15] Could be another three months.
[2:05:18] Could be whatever.
[2:05:19] What do you have left?
[2:05:20] That may be nothing, but you don't have...
[2:05:24] The strait will never be open
[2:05:25] because people that own billion-dollar ships,
[2:05:28] these ships cost a billion dollars.
[2:05:30] They don't like sailing ships
[2:05:32] or having their ships participate
[2:05:35] when you go up the coast
[2:05:37] and you go through the strait
[2:05:39] and there are rockets flying over your head.
[2:05:43] They want to protect their billion-dollar investment.
[2:05:46] You wouldn't have oil for maybe years.
[2:05:50] These are stupid people.
[2:05:52] Nobody was tougher than me.
[2:05:53] Nobody hit Soleimani.
[2:05:56] You know, when I hit Soleimani,
[2:05:57] people thought that was the biggest thing
[2:05:58] to happen in the Middle East for 50 years.
[2:06:00] That was the biggest event.
[2:06:01] He was the boss of Iran and respected,
[2:06:07] but he was a mad genius.
[2:06:09] He was a genius, the father of the roadside bomb.
[2:06:13] When you see young men,
[2:06:15] and in some cases women, mostly men,
[2:06:17] walking around without legs, without arms,
[2:06:22] the face that's been blown to smithereens,
[2:06:24] it's Soleimani, 95%.
[2:06:25] 96.2, they say, or something.
[2:06:28] 95%.
[2:06:29] It was Soleimani that did it.
[2:06:32] Happened to come from Iran,
[2:06:35] and I blew him up.
[2:06:36] Do you remember that?
[2:06:37] I blew him up in the Valley of Death.
[2:06:39] He got off his plane and we followed him.
[2:06:43] And in all fairness,
[2:06:45] because they've been wonderful to me, Israel,
[2:06:48] but they didn't want to do that attack.
[2:06:50] They were all set.
[2:06:50] The night before the attack,
[2:06:52] they informed me they didn't want to do it,
[2:06:54] so I had to make a decision.
[2:06:55] I made the decision to do it.
[2:06:58] But it was a joint venture,
[2:07:00] as we say in the real estate business.
[2:07:03] That was a joint venture between Israel and us.
[2:07:05] We studied it for a month.
[2:07:07] We knew what plane he was going to be on.
[2:07:08] Almost a month before,
[2:07:09] he only traveled on commercial airliners,
[2:07:11] big ones with lots of people,
[2:07:13] because he knew we wouldn't shoot him down.
[2:07:15] They're very smart.
[2:07:16] But we knew he was going to be on that plane,
[2:07:19] followed him,
[2:07:19] and then Israel informed me that they won't do it.
[2:07:23] And I had to make a decision.
[2:07:26] I had some very good generals,
[2:07:28] and not the ones you see on television,
[2:07:30] very good.
[2:07:31] And I want to thank also Pete Hexf
[2:07:33] and General Raisin Cain,
[2:07:36] who's phenomenal, okay?
[2:07:37] These guys are phenomenal.
[2:07:38] They can't be better.
[2:07:40] But I had some good generals,
[2:07:41] and I said to them,
[2:07:42] well, if Israel's not going to do it,
[2:07:44] we're all prepared.
[2:07:45] Do we do it?
[2:07:47] Do you like doing it or not?
[2:07:48] He said, sure.
[2:07:50] If you want to do it, we can do it.
[2:07:51] How well?
[2:07:51] We'll do it just as well or better.
[2:07:53] Do it ourselves.
[2:07:54] We don't need anybody.
[2:07:56] So we took out Soleimani.
[2:07:58] One of the biggest events to happen,
[2:08:02] the Middle East, maybe ever,
[2:08:03] but they say 50 years,
[2:08:04] they say 100 years.
[2:08:06] I was with the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
[2:08:09] He said it's maybe the biggest event
[2:08:11] that has ever taken place.
[2:08:13] Nobody could believe it.
[2:08:15] So that's when it started.
[2:08:16] It didn't start like three or four
[2:08:18] or five weeks ago.
[2:08:20] And Obama wouldn't do it.
[2:08:21] What Obama did was he did the JCPOA.
[2:08:26] He loaded up a plane with $1,700,000,000
[2:08:31] in green cash from banks all over Washington.
[2:08:34] Maryland and Virginia.
[2:08:37] They were stripped of all their cash.
[2:08:39] They had no cash to do payrolls.
[2:08:41] It all went into a Boeing 757,
[2:08:44] a wonderful plane,
[2:08:45] and they flew it to Iran.
[2:08:47] And they gave it out to people.
[2:08:49] They bribed people.
[2:08:50] They thought they were going to get it done.
[2:08:52] And then they gave billions and billions of dollars after that.
[2:08:56] And they got a deal that was a road to a nuclear weapon.
[2:08:58] And I get so angry, I guess.
[2:09:00] I'm allowed to get angry when I watch the Democrats.
[2:09:03] They talk about it all the time.
[2:09:06] We had this deal done.
[2:09:07] You had a deal that was going to give them legally a nuclear weapon.
[2:09:13] And if that happened, Israel would have been blown away.
[2:09:15] And in all fairness to Bibi Netanyahu,
[2:09:17] who happens to be a good man,
[2:09:19] gets a little excited sometimes.
[2:09:21] But he happens to be a very good man.
[2:09:23] We've had an amazing partnership.
[2:09:25] He's been an amazing prime minister.
[2:09:28] We have a little dispute over in Lebanon.
[2:09:29] And I say, you can do a little softer touch, Bibi.
[2:09:33] You don't have to knock down a building
[2:09:34] every time somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah.
[2:09:37] But it's been an amazing partnership.
[2:09:40] But he will say, we're the big partner,
[2:09:42] and he's the very small partner.
[2:09:43] And that's true.
[2:09:45] So he came to the country,
[2:09:48] and he begged Barack Hussein Obama, the president,
[2:09:51] not to do the JCPOA.
[2:09:54] He said it could be the end of Israel.
[2:09:57] And it would have been if I didn't come along.
[2:10:00] And Obama didn't listen to him.
[2:10:02] Bibi actually went to Congress and pleaded with them.
[2:10:06] And he got nowhere.
[2:10:08] And they had this horrible deal
[2:10:09] that was horrible for Israel, horrible for Israel.
[2:10:14] And that's where it stood.
[2:10:17] And then I came along and I terminated that deal.
[2:10:20] It had very little time left.
[2:10:22] You know, it was a short-term deal.
[2:10:23] You know, with countries, you need hundreds of years.
[2:10:25] You don't need eight years and nine years.
[2:10:28] This isn't like you're signing a lease on a candy store in the corner.
[2:10:32] You need hundreds of years.
[2:10:34] This was a short-term lease.
[2:10:36] It expired long ago.
[2:10:38] Had I let it run, it expired.
[2:10:40] You wouldn't have been around.
[2:10:41] A lot of people wouldn't have been around.
[2:10:42] But Israel would have been terminated.
[2:10:44] I think the whole Middle East would have been terminated.
[2:10:46] But you saw that when everybody was shocked at all these missiles.
[2:10:50] They were aimed at these different places.
[2:10:53] Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE.
[2:10:57] Think of it.
[2:10:58] Bahrain, Kuwait.
[2:11:00] They got hit.
[2:11:01] Nobody thought that was...
[2:11:02] Even I didn't think it was going to happen.
[2:11:04] They didn't think it was going to happen.
[2:11:06] They were going to take out the entire Middle East, including Israel.
[2:11:10] And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it within moments after getting it.
[2:11:17] So I made it very tough for them when I terminated the Barack Hussein Obama catastrophe.
[2:11:23] JCPOA, one of the worst deals.
[2:11:27] NAFTA might have been worse, but that was worse economically.
[2:11:30] This deal was really dangerous, what he did.
[2:11:33] He gave them everything, including a lot of money, which we don't give them, by the way,
[2:11:37] just in case you have any question.
[2:11:39] We'll be giving this out so you can read it and you can see.
[2:11:42] And it's a memorandum of understanding.
[2:11:44] If it doesn't get done in 60 days, that's all right.
[2:11:46] We go back to bombing.
[2:11:48] You know, I don't want to do that because it's so good.
[2:11:51] But we might have to because we're never going to let them have a nuclear weapon.
[2:11:57] But they've agreed not to, and you'll see that very clearly in the agreement.
[2:12:01] But then the second phase of that was they were building or they were enriching material,
[2:12:07] as they say.
[2:12:08] I call it nuclear dust.
[2:12:09] They were enriching material under granite mountains, granite being, for those not in
[2:12:15] the construction business, granite being a very strong, the strongest stone.
[2:12:20] It's not as pretty as marble, but it's much more, it's much stronger.
[2:12:25] It's a lot stronger.
[2:12:26] Like the new granite I put on the stairs of the White House going to the Oval Office,
[2:12:31] the black granite.
[2:12:32] But it's rated one million years plus.
[2:12:36] No marbles rated that.
[2:12:37] Marbles rated 100 years if it's outside.
[2:12:41] So these are granite mountains.
[2:12:43] And the B-2s came along, and they hit those air shafts in the dark at 1 o'clock in the morning
[2:12:49] with no moon.
[2:12:50] They had a beam going right up everywhere.
[2:12:52] Those guys did a job.
[2:12:53] And then they were criticized by certain members of the press, like CNN, for possibly not doing
[2:12:59] that much damage.
[2:13:01] And it turned out that the damage was far greater.
[2:13:04] Those mountains collapsed right on top of everything.
[2:13:07] Nobody's going to get that for a long time unless we want to get it.
[2:13:10] We'll get it.
[2:13:11] But we're the only ones that can.
[2:13:13] And they say China has the equipment to get it, and we have the equipment to get it.
[2:13:17] And it's actually not valuable.
[2:13:19] Not a lot of value, but we'd like to get it psychologically.
[2:13:22] But nobody's touching it.
[2:13:23] We also have cameras.
[2:13:24] That's what Space Force is.
[2:13:25] We have the best.
[2:13:26] We have the greatest military in the world, by the way.
[2:13:28] But I'm proud of Space Force because I started it.
[2:13:31] We have Space Force cameras on every single door, every single door.
[2:13:36] Well, there are no doors.
[2:13:37] They've been pretty well shattered.
[2:13:38] But every area of that area.
[2:13:40] If somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his name on it, like Mohammed something,
[2:13:46] which is about a 50-50 guess, Mohammed something, they can tell the name.
[2:13:52] They can give you a serial number.
[2:13:54] We can see things you wouldn't believe, the quality of the stuff that we have.
[2:13:58] That's why we've been so successful.
[2:14:00] That's why our blockade will go down in the annals of history as being unbelievable.
[2:14:05] Nobody's ever seen a blockade like that.
[2:14:07] It's like a steel wall.
[2:14:10] So what happened is we then terminated that.
[2:14:14] And I call it the nuclear dust.
[2:14:16] And that was the end of that.
[2:14:17] But if we didn't hit that with the B-2 bombers or if it wasn't successful,
[2:14:21] they would have had a nuclear weapon, a nuclear bomb at a very high level.
[2:14:26] Not the highest, but it would have been a very high level.
[2:14:28] We have much bigger, but we hope that we're never going to have to use it.
[2:14:33] We have the most.
[2:14:34] Russia has second.
[2:14:36] China is very far behind, but going to catch up, unfortunately.
[2:14:40] You know, they're catching up.
[2:14:42] But we have the most.
[2:14:43] We have the most powerful.
[2:14:44] But we also have the most.
[2:14:47] But Russia is not far behind.
[2:14:49] And then you have China in third place, but within five years, they'll be probably even.
[2:14:54] And we ought to make a denuclearization deal.
[2:14:57] It would be so great.
[2:14:58] We don't need all of that.
[2:15:01] We don't need to be able to blow up the whole world 300 times over.
[2:15:07] It's terrible.
[2:15:08] Really, if we could do a de-nuke deal, I'd love it.
[2:15:11] And one of those, too, is very willing to do it, I will tell you.
[2:15:15] But the other one is less willing to do it.
[2:15:17] And you need all of them.
[2:15:19] So the deal we reached with Iran on Sunday will be signed shortly.
[2:15:26] Tomorrow, maybe the next day.
[2:15:27] I think.
[2:15:28] Subject deals.
[2:15:29] My whole life is all about deals.
[2:15:31] That's all I ever did is make deals.
[2:15:34] And crazy things happen with deals.
[2:15:35] I've gone into deals where it's a guarantee.
[2:15:41] No way it can not be signed.
[2:15:43] And it doesn't get signed.
[2:15:44] And I've gone into deals that you have no chance of making.
[2:15:47] And they go like nothing.
[2:15:49] But we're going to most likely sign a deal.
[2:15:52] They want to sign a deal.
[2:15:53] And they've been acting very appropriately.
[2:15:58] They took two hits last week.
[2:16:02] Those were two very big hits.
[2:16:03] So, importantly, Iran has agreed that they will neither produce nor procure a nuclear weapon.
[2:16:09] Neither produce.
[2:16:11] Because originally they said, they talk about that they will not develop a nuclear weapon.
[2:16:17] And some people found it okay.
[2:16:19] These guys didn't, in all fairness.
[2:16:20] But some people.
[2:16:21] But I didn't like it.
[2:16:22] Said it won't develop.
[2:16:23] I said, what happens if they should buy?
[2:16:25] I don't know.
[2:16:25] It's pretty, very dangerous for somebody to sell.
[2:16:27] Because whoever sells them a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves.
[2:16:32] If they sold a nuclear weapon, only a few that could do it, they would be nuked.
[2:16:37] They wouldn't have that country loan.
[2:16:39] So, it's a very dangerous thing for somebody to do.
[2:16:42] But I wanted it in there.
[2:16:43] So, it's develop, procure, buy anything.
[2:16:49] And you'll see that when you see the agreement.
[2:16:51] But it's appropriate that we release the agreement.
[2:16:53] And we did send a copy to Israel, by the way.
[2:16:56] They've been a good partner.
[2:16:58] Again, I think they could do better with respect to Hezbollah.
[2:17:04] I'm not saying they shouldn't protect themselves.
[2:17:06] I'm saying, when two drones are shot into the desert and drop harmlessly, you don't have
[2:17:13] to knock down buildings in Beirut.
[2:17:17] They could behave better.
[2:17:18] And frankly, they could do a better job.
[2:17:21] I love them as a partner.
[2:17:23] They were terrific.
[2:17:25] But they could do a much better job with Hezbollah.
[2:17:28] On that, I don't think they're doing well.
[2:17:30] And I feel very bad for Lebanon.
[2:17:33] Lebanon's been, you know, it was a great culture.
[2:17:36] It was a great, they had the professors, the doctors, the lawyers.
[2:17:39] It was an incredible culture.
[2:17:40] Maybe the highest in the Middle East for years and years, centuries.
[2:17:44] And for the last 50, 60 years, they have been just trashed.
[2:17:50] They have been living in hell.
[2:17:53] So they'll work closely with us to turn over the so-called enriched material that's very
[2:18:00] deep in the bowels of the earth.
[2:18:04] Very deep.
[2:18:04] Nobody can get it.
[2:18:05] So it's not important that we do it quickly.
[2:18:08] But we could do it fairly quickly.
[2:18:09] When we have a chance, we'll do it.
[2:18:10] But in the meantime, we have cameras on every inch of it.
[2:18:13] Nobody can do it.
[2:18:14] And if they do, we'll hit them with patriots.
[2:18:16] That's all.
[2:18:17] And they'll be gone.
[2:18:19] And they know that.
[2:18:20] Technical discussions on the removal of...
[2:18:22] ...enriched materials will begin immediately.
[2:18:26] We're going to start that immediately.
[2:18:27] And unlike Barack Hussein Obama, who sent Iran pallets of cash and any relief they received under
[2:18:35] this deal, they'll have to get based on merit.
[2:18:38] And it won't be from us.
[2:18:39] We don't have to give them anything.
[2:18:41] But some people may want to invest.
[2:18:43] Like, what are you going to do?
[2:18:44] Say, you can never, ever invest in a country?
[2:18:47] I mean, it's pretty tough.
[2:18:48] I don't mind being tough.
[2:18:50] But it's pretty crazy.
[2:18:52] You can invest in a country.
[2:18:54] You can invest in any country you want.
[2:18:55] But you can't invest in there.
[2:18:56] Well, they need investment.
[2:18:58] Because we did a trillion and a half, maybe $2 trillion worth of damage.
[2:19:03] So, somebody's going to have to help them.
[2:19:07] There's no guarantee that they'll help them out a little bit more.
[2:19:13] But it's a lot of money.
[2:19:15] Almost nobody has that kind of money.
[2:19:16] That's the kind of damage they've done.
[2:19:19] They're not investing any money.
[2:19:20] There was a fake story.
[2:19:21] There was a fake news story that got a man, a person, a good person.
[2:19:27] J.D. made a statement.
[2:19:28] It was a perfect statement.
[2:19:30] And they reported it in a very strange way.
[2:19:33] But that's why it's fake news, I guess.
[2:19:36] So, we don't give them money.
[2:19:38] We don't give them any of that.
[2:19:40] And what happens is, with time, if they behave, if they be a citizen of the world, a reasonable citizen of the world.
[2:19:49] And I think this group, again, I think, I didn't do this for regime change.
[2:19:53] But I think this group is regime change.
[2:19:56] And, hey, the first group is dead.
[2:20:00] One little morning, having breakfast, the whole group, they thought they'd never be caught.
[2:20:06] Because we never bombed during breakfast.
[2:20:08] But we bombed.
[2:20:08] And they were all 88 people.
[2:20:11] The second group came in, and they were very unreasonable, too.
[2:20:18] And they were all gone.
[2:20:20] They were all gone.
[2:20:21] And then the third group, we've been dealing with them.
[2:20:22] A couple left this planet.
[2:20:25] But we've been dealing with them.
[2:20:27] And, again, they've been fine.
[2:20:29] I mean, I've had a lot easier.
[2:20:32] I've had some easier ones.
[2:20:34] They're tough this morning.
[2:20:37] Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has already increased very substantially.
[2:20:41] And a normal flow of energy will resume in the coming days.
[2:20:47] And trillions of dollars will be made by the world.
[2:20:51] And the stock market will, I believe, continue to rise.
[2:20:53] The only difference is that a player that's very volatile, very tough, very smart, frankly, you know, they have, in one way, a primitive culture.
[2:21:04] But it's also a genius primitive culture.
[2:21:07] They're very smart people.
[2:21:09] They're good negotiators.
[2:21:11] But so are we.
[2:21:12] So rather than possibly going into a depression, rather than having your favorite president be Herbert Hoover, I was always the one I didn't want to be.
[2:21:26] I wouldn't have preferred Nixon.
[2:21:28] I wouldn't have preferred Hillary Clinton.
[2:21:30] I wouldn't prefer.
[2:21:31] But the one I always thought of, Herbert Hoover.
[2:21:34] And he caused it.
[2:21:35] He raised taxes too fast.
[2:21:38] And he raised interest rates too fast all at the same time.
[2:21:41] And it caused the Great Depression.
[2:21:44] So I don't think I'll make mistakes like that.
[2:21:48] I lower taxes.
[2:21:49] I don't raise taxes.
[2:21:50] In fact, we just gave you the largest tax decrease, largest tax cut in the history of our country.
[2:21:55] So we'll be working on a parallel effort with the Gulf nations to address non-nuclear issues, such as the conventional ballistic missiles, which we'll be talking about.
[2:22:07] And support.
[2:22:07] I mean, they have to have some because other people have some.
[2:22:10] You've got to have some.
[2:22:11] Somebody says, you shouldn't give them one.
[2:22:13] And I have guys.
[2:22:14] I like some of these guys.
[2:22:17] But I don't think they're small.
[2:22:21] Sir, you shouldn't let them have any missile.
[2:22:23] I said, well, what am I going to do?
[2:22:25] Are they going to let Saudi Arabia have missiles, but they can't have them?
[2:22:30] Yes, sir.
[2:22:31] It doesn't work that way, you know.
[2:22:34] It doesn't work that way.
[2:22:35] Missiles aren't the problem.
[2:22:36] Missiles, they hurt a little location, but they don't blow up the planet.
[2:22:41] So the Gulf nations will address the non-nuclear issues, as we'll be talking about the ballistic missiles, and we'll talk also about the terrorist proxies that they have.
[2:22:54] We don't want that to happen.
[2:22:56] But I want to thank our partners in both Pakistan and Qatar.
[2:23:00] These people work so hard.
[2:23:03] And they knew them a little bit.
[2:23:05] In the case of Pakistan, quite well.
[2:23:06] In the case of Qatar, they were sort of at odds.
[2:23:10] And, you know, Qatar was great because they had right next to them.
[2:23:13] When I flew from there, from that location to Saudi Arabia, I'd fly for 40 minutes, and I'd fly to UAE for 40 minutes.
[2:23:23] Two great leaders there, by the way.
[2:23:27] In the case of Saudi Arabia, the father's still alive, and he's fantastic, and the son is going to be great.
[2:23:32] He's going to be great.
[2:23:33] The crown prince and Mohammed at UAE is an incredible warrior.
[2:23:38] He was dropping bombs.
[2:23:40] Last week I said, who the hell's dropping all those bombs?
[2:23:42] It was UAE.
[2:23:44] He's a good fighter, Mohammed.
[2:23:46] But every administration for decades has sought to get Iran to relinquish its nuclear ambitions, but the threat only got bigger.
[2:23:53] The words got bigger and bigger and stronger and bigger, and nothing ever happened.
[2:23:59] And Iran got stronger and tougher.
[2:24:03] If we didn't blow them up the first time and then blow out those weapons, they would have been unstoppable.
[2:24:08] This should have done—what I'm doing and what I did should have been done years ago.
[2:24:12] It would have been much easier, much less firepower, but it wasn't.
[2:24:18] And, again, I want to thank all those countries.
[2:24:21] I want to thank Israel and Bibi Netanyahu.
[2:24:23] So, obviously, the breakthrough would not have been possible without the unprecedented pressure the United States put on the regime over the past year and a half.
[2:24:34] But, again, it started a long time ago.
[2:24:35] It started with the death of Soleimani.
[2:24:39] That was a big deal.
[2:24:42] No president in history has ever been tougher on Iran than I have, and they know that.
[2:24:46] And, by the way, if they don't honor the agreement—some things aren't even mentioned in the agreement.
[2:24:52] It's a memorandum of understanding, but we have an understanding of certain things without writing it.
[2:24:57] And if they don't honor that, we'll probably go back to bombing them until they honor it, you know?
[2:25:04] It's amazing what bombs can do.
[2:25:06] And so I say it, the Obama deal was a road to a nuclear weapon, and let's call it the Trump deal.
[2:25:17] It was a wall for a nuclear weapon that the nuclear weapon could not get through.
[2:25:23] Nobody's going to get through it.
[2:25:25] We built a wall.
[2:25:26] They weren't going to have it, and that's what we have right now.
[2:25:28] And it says very clearly, the most important clause to me, too, number one, the strait opens,
[2:25:34] but that's much less important than the other clause, clause number whatever, five, eight,
[2:25:39] is a very strong statement that they will never have a nuclear weapon.
[2:25:44] And it doesn't say they'll have one in five years or ten years or 20 years.
[2:25:50] With Obama, they were able to enrich very quickly.
[2:25:54] This agreement now provides Iran with a historic opportunity.
[2:25:57] They follow the path of cooperation.
[2:25:59] We'll have open for them.
[2:26:01] Their country will have a chance to survive.
[2:26:06] Now think of it, you know?
[2:26:07] They have 91 million people.
[2:26:09] People want me to bomb the bridges.
[2:26:11] Why don't I bomb?
[2:26:11] I already did because, you know, they went back on one of their promises,
[2:26:15] and I bombed their biggest bridge, the equivalent of the George.
[2:26:18] That was the George Washington Bridge of Iran.
[2:26:22] We bombed that bridge.
[2:26:23] You saw that.
[2:26:24] One quick strike by an F-22, the most beautiful fighter jet ever made,
[2:26:30] by the way.
[2:26:32] In fact, we're ordering some more of them.
[2:26:33] We're bringing it out because it's so effective.
[2:26:36] It's incredible.
[2:26:38] It's incredible.
[2:26:39] Look, we have the greatest military in the world.
[2:26:41] Those B-2 bombers are unbelievable.
[2:26:43] Who would have thought they could handle?
[2:26:45] Each had two because the flight was so long,
[2:26:47] but they handled three of the biggest, heaviest bombs,
[2:26:50] hundreds of thousands of pounds,
[2:26:51] and they handled them like they're nothing.
[2:26:54] It's amazing.
[2:26:55] And also, they're undetectable.
[2:26:57] They flew into Iran.
[2:26:59] Totally, think of it, totally undetected.
[2:27:01] Now, Iran's waiting for them.
[2:27:03] They're waiting for them, and they never saw them.
[2:27:07] One o'clock in the morning.
[2:27:08] They never saw them.
[2:27:10] They're stealth.
[2:27:11] And we just ordered 22 more.
[2:27:14] The newer, upgraded version, which I guess is better.
[2:27:18] I don't know how you get better.
[2:27:20] But as I expressed to the world leaders here this week,
[2:27:23] it's my hope that the peace agreement
[2:27:25] will be the beginning of a much larger deal
[2:27:29] all across the Middle East.
[2:27:30] We're very close.
[2:27:31] Look at the job we've done in Gaza.
[2:27:33] Look at Hamas.
[2:27:34] Hamas has been very silent.
[2:27:36] You haven't read anything about Hamas.
[2:27:38] And we're trying to get them unarmed.
[2:27:41] You know, they grew up with a machine gun in their hand.
[2:27:44] I think they actually, when they were born,
[2:27:48] they came out with a machine gun in their hand.
[2:27:49] So it's not the easiest thing.
[2:27:51] But they've actually behaved pretty well,
[2:27:55] considering this was not the lifestyle
[2:27:57] that they were taught to have.
[2:27:58] But including an end to all Iranian aggression.
[2:28:02] It's not going to be Iranian aggression.
[2:28:05] And an end to war and terror in Lebanon.
[2:28:07] So the Lebanon peace is something
[2:28:11] we'll have to work on a little bit.
[2:28:12] It's a very small piece of the puzzle, actually.
[2:28:16] But it still makes a lot of noise.
[2:28:18] The big deal is the Iran deal.
[2:28:20] That's where the money is, where the power was.
[2:28:23] But they have Hezbollah.
[2:28:25] We've got to get that done one way or the other.
[2:28:28] We'll do it.
[2:28:29] I think Israel can do a much better job on it.
[2:28:33] Syria would love to do it.
[2:28:34] I was very responsible for the gentleman at Syria
[2:28:38] that's now the president of Syria.
[2:28:39] He's done a tremendous job.
[2:28:41] He's put that country together in a year and a half.
[2:28:44] Sort of like our country, a year and a half is pretty similar size.
[2:28:47] They said, please don't put him there.
[2:28:49] He's a very violent man.
[2:28:51] Al-Qaeda.
[2:28:52] They said, well, I know one thing.
[2:28:54] A Boy Scout's not going to work.
[2:28:56] And he's actually done a very good job.
[2:28:58] He'd love to go in.
[2:28:58] You know, Hezbollah's an enemy of his.
[2:29:01] And he'd go in and eat.
[2:29:03] But he wouldn't knock down buildings every time he hears there's somebody.
[2:29:07] He'd just go and get them with precision.
[2:29:11] But I don't know that people want that.
[2:29:13] Maybe they don't.
[2:29:14] Maybe Lebanon doesn't.
[2:29:15] We have to be guided a little bit by Lebanon.
[2:29:17] And by the way, the president is going to be coming,
[2:29:19] prime minister, president,
[2:29:21] going to be coming over to see us very shortly,
[2:29:24] over the next week or two.
[2:29:26] Good man is, you know, man is living.
[2:29:29] What a tough life he's got.
[2:29:31] Because he's got tough groups of people.
[2:29:34] And it's amazing.
[2:29:36] Amazing there is a Lebanon goal they've been through.
[2:29:39] They have been treated worse than just about,
[2:29:42] I think, anybody.
[2:29:43] Disrespected incredibly.
[2:29:45] So the expansion of the Abraham Accords
[2:29:47] is the other thing that we hope we're going to get.
[2:29:50] And I think Saudi Arabia, if they lead the way,
[2:29:53] they'd be doing themselves a big favor.
[2:29:55] Because everybody that's in it,
[2:29:57] the UAE went in right from the beginning.
[2:29:58] Again, he's a warrior.
[2:30:00] And they never got out.
[2:30:02] Nobody ever got out.
[2:30:03] You think maybe during the war.
[2:30:04] They were all afraid of,
[2:30:05] everybody was afraid of Iran.
[2:30:08] And that's why we ended up with the original members.
[2:30:12] But then when the election was rigged,
[2:30:14] that's right,
[2:30:15] and I wasn't here at all,
[2:30:18] nobody cared about anything.
[2:30:19] The country went to hell in every way.
[2:30:21] That was the least of it.
[2:30:23] Middle East was the least of it.
[2:30:24] The country went to hell.
[2:30:25] Allowing 25 million people into the country.
[2:30:30] Unchecked and unvetted.
[2:30:31] Many of them criminals.
[2:30:33] Many of them murderers.
[2:30:34] 11,888 murderers allowed into our country.
[2:30:39] So this was the least of it.
[2:30:41] But the past two days have also provided an opportunity
[2:30:44] to discuss a number of other key issues
[2:30:46] with members of the G7 and our partners.
[2:30:49] Yesterday morning,
[2:30:50] we had a productive conversation on the war in Ukraine.
[2:30:53] I spoke with President Putin.
[2:30:55] I spoke with President Zelensky.
[2:30:59] And he was there.
[2:31:00] And President Putin I spoke over the phone with.
[2:31:03] And something's going to happen.
[2:31:05] They lose a lot of people.
[2:31:07] A lot of soldiers are losing soldiers.
[2:31:09] Both are losing a lot.
[2:31:10] Russia's losing more.
[2:31:11] Because they're the offensive ones.
[2:31:13] And when you're offensive in war, you lose more.
[2:31:16] Pretty simple.
[2:31:18] But I provided an update on my call Sunday with President Putin
[2:31:22] and expressed my continued hope.
[2:31:24] We had a very good conversation with President Putin
[2:31:27] and a very, very good conversation with President Zelensky.
[2:31:30] I think they both want to do something.
[2:31:32] They just don't know how to do it.
[2:31:35] They want to do it.
[2:31:35] They just don't know how.
[2:31:37] In our session yesterday afternoon on international partnerships,
[2:31:42] I offered an update on how the United States is leading the world
[2:31:46] in responding to the Ebola outbreak in Africa,
[2:31:50] sending $375 million in aid so far
[2:31:53] to help stop and contain the crisis at its source.
[2:31:57] And we've done great.
[2:31:59] I was with the President.
[2:32:01] A couple of presidents came over, by the way,
[2:32:03] from African nations,
[2:32:06] and they were so happy with what we did.
[2:32:09] But where it's unfair is we gave $375 million.
[2:32:14] The rest of the world gave essentially nothing,
[2:32:16] maybe a couple of bucks, but nothing.
[2:32:19] And they were all saying, thank you so much.
[2:32:22] And I think they've done a good job.
[2:32:24] It's a terrible thing.
[2:32:28] Ebola is a terrible thing.
[2:32:30] That's an unbelievable one.
[2:32:32] Fortunately, it's not like COVID where it's that easy to spread around,
[2:32:38] but it's rough.
[2:32:39] And we've done a good job.
[2:32:41] We've moved people to certain quarantines, certain locations.
[2:32:45] But today we also had excellent meetings on the economy
[2:32:48] and artificial intelligence,
[2:32:51] which is amazing what's going on with that.
[2:32:54] It's going to be the biggest thing ever.
[2:32:56] We have to be very careful with it.
[2:32:57] It's both great and could be bad.
[2:33:00] We have to be careful with it.
[2:33:01] But we're leading China.
[2:33:02] We're leading the world on that.
[2:33:04] We're allowing them to do their own electric plants
[2:33:07] because they need, as an example,
[2:33:09] those buildings are so big.
[2:33:10] And they're not taking the community's electricity.
[2:33:13] I gave them the right.
[2:33:14] It's my idea.
[2:33:15] I gave them the right to build electric plants like Con Edison in New York.
[2:33:21] Dig we must.
[2:33:23] And they've come up with plants that nobody's ever seen anything like them.
[2:33:27] Those are very high IQ people.
[2:33:29] So they're actually building electric plants because otherwise they could never build a building
[2:33:35] because the grid is old and tired and broken and a mess.
[2:33:40] So they're building it.
[2:33:41] And they're going to sell there very cheaply.
[2:33:42] They're going to sell their additional, their extra electricity into the grid.
[2:33:46] So we take care of a lot of things like California,
[2:33:51] which doesn't have nearly enough electricity.
[2:33:53] They don't know what they're doing there.
[2:33:56] And instead of having blackouts and brownouts, they'll be able not to.
[2:33:59] We found a great deal of unity here at the G7.
[2:34:02] And we signed a declaration on illegal immigration,
[2:34:05] the first time ever for a G7 statement.
[2:34:10] They did a beautiful statement.
[2:34:11] We signed other agreements to step up and to really coordinate
[2:34:17] and spend a lot of time coordinating drug trafficking
[2:34:21] and the stopping of drug trafficking, which is crazy.
[2:34:24] It comes through Mexico.
[2:34:25] It comes through the southern border.
[2:34:26] The little that comes through.
[2:34:29] They find a way.
[2:34:30] They put it.
[2:34:30] They're genius.
[2:34:31] If they would use that genius for good, they'd be very rich people.
[2:34:36] They have it in engines.
[2:34:37] They have it in hubcaps.
[2:34:39] They have it in areas you wouldn't even believe.
[2:34:41] They have it in the structures of cars.
[2:34:44] Most incredible thing.
[2:34:46] But we've done a great job on it.
[2:34:47] We have drugs coming through the border down 61%.
[2:34:52] Drugs coming through water, the sea, ocean, sea, gulf, down 97.2%.
[2:35:01] That's the ones that get hit, just like we hit the Iranian mine sweepers
[2:35:09] and mine droppers, they call them.
[2:35:11] They drop.
[2:35:12] Who would have 28 mine droppers?
[2:35:13] Who has 28 mine droppers?
[2:35:16] They actually had them, but they don't have them anymore.
[2:35:19] We hit them just like we hit the drug dealers.
[2:35:21] But drugs are down by water, 97%.
[2:35:25] And over 60% they're down.
[2:35:28] And now we're going to go and focus on the land.
[2:35:30] They come through Mexico.
[2:35:31] Mexico has lost control of their country.
[2:35:33] The cartels run Mexico, and it's sad.
[2:35:38] And the president is a very good woman, but she's a very scared woman.
[2:35:43] And the drug cartels are totally running Mexico.
[2:35:47] It's not even close.
[2:35:48] We agreed to accelerate our efforts to secure our critical minerals and rare earth supply chains,
[2:35:54] where we have great companies really going to town.
[2:35:56] We're going to give everybody a big run because we do it better than we had to get motivated.
[2:36:02] The G7 also agreed that the United States' new approach to international development,
[2:36:08] based on the private sector investment, is working at levels that they never thought possible.
[2:36:13] It's really working.
[2:36:14] I held a number of very positive bilateral meetings, including with the president of France.
[2:36:20] We had a very good meeting, actually.
[2:36:24] The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim, who's, I tell you, I wish I could really know the guy.
[2:36:31] You know, some people say, well, he lived in that neighborhood.
[2:36:34] You can't be saying things that you'd like to have him say.
[2:36:40] He was fantastic on this, and he's been a fantastic guy in terms of energy and getting energy out there.
[2:36:47] The president of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed, who's an amazing warrior,
[2:36:55] President el-Sisi of Egypt, Prime Minister Modi of India, who spent a long time together today.
[2:37:02] I spoke to Mohammed.
[2:37:04] I spoke to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia a number of times.
[2:37:09] They're all so happy that they're still—you have to have them happy, too, you know.
[2:37:14] We're using their airports.
[2:37:15] It's not that they could stop us if we didn't want them to, but it would be nice that I went to get that little sucker.
[2:37:23] But I missed—I hate missing.
[2:37:26] But we spoke to—we spoke to all of them and many countries all over the world.
[2:37:33] So every country—I think Israel, too.
[2:37:37] Look, think of what Israel's getting.
[2:37:39] They're not going to be nuked.
[2:37:41] It's very simple.
[2:37:41] I told Bibi, Bibi, your biggest risk was that they drop a nuclear weapon into the middle of Israel.
[2:37:50] They'd only need one, and there would be no more Israel.
[2:37:53] Think of it, Bibi.
[2:37:54] You got the best—the most important thing that you were asking for is that.
[2:37:59] So I think they're happy.
[2:38:01] Some people are going to be—not him, but there are some people, some writers,
[2:38:06] some that I thought were friends of mine, but I don't want them as friends anymore
[2:38:09] because they're either stupid or they're bad people.
[2:38:14] But we stopped nuclear holocaust, and it stopped, too.
[2:38:21] I mean, there's not going to be any of that.
[2:38:24] So from the beginning to the end, it was clear that this week, America's back.
[2:38:29] It's bigger and better and stronger.
[2:38:30] We're more respected as a country right now, I think, than we ever have been,
[2:38:34] and we were a laughingstock two years ago.
[2:38:36] They would laugh at us.
[2:38:38] We had a man that should have never been there.
[2:38:40] You know, a man that would walk up to a podium once every year,
[2:38:45] and they'd ask him, what flavor ice cream do you like?
[2:38:47] I like vanilla.
[2:38:50] Then he'd try and find the stairs, which he couldn't find most of the time,
[2:38:53] and he'd leave.
[2:38:54] This is very unfair reporting.
[2:38:57] And then you said you didn't know about that.
[2:38:59] You didn't know there was something wrong.
[2:39:02] We can never let that happen to our country.
[2:39:04] Again, to me, the worst.
[2:39:05] We had the worst inflation ever.
[2:39:07] We had the worst in prices and the costs.
[2:39:11] It's all coming down now because the oil is bringing it down.
[2:39:14] You're going to see numbers that are going to be amazing.
[2:39:16] But this evening, I look forward to a very special dinner with President Macron
[2:39:20] and his fabulous wife at the Palace of Versailles.
[2:39:25] I sort of like that palace.
[2:39:26] This palace has a lot of gold.
[2:39:27] I want to check it out.
[2:39:29] It's a beautiful palace, maybe the most beautiful of all.
[2:39:32] I hope you're going to get to see it.
[2:39:33] The ones that are traveling with me, I hope you're going to get to see it
[2:39:36] because it's amazing.
[2:39:37] But they asked me if I'd stay a little bit longer and go to Paris.
[2:39:41] So I'll get home a little bit later.
[2:39:42] But it'll be a nice...
[2:39:46] ...to see it that's the ultimate, I guess, the ultimate of its type.
[2:39:51] We're the poor people.
[2:39:53] Celebrating the 250th anniversary of America's founding
[2:39:56] and America's oldest alliance.
[2:39:58] And we're celebrating that a little bit tonight
[2:40:00] by the biggest people in Europe at the village.
[2:40:04] And the great people...
[2:40:05] ...our country, and hopefully Europe's going to find its way.
[2:40:09] Europe is having a lot of hard times.
[2:40:11] They're doing some things very badly on energy and on immigration.
[2:40:14] They're doing things very badly.
[2:40:16] And we'll be talking about that tonight.
[2:40:18] So with that all said, if you want to ask us any questions,
[2:40:22] feel free to ask the people behind me.
[2:40:26] Peter?
[2:40:27] Bonjour.
[2:40:30] You've been clear, President Trump,
[2:40:32] the United States is not going to directly pay Iran.
[2:40:37] But the U.S. is going to let the Iranians
[2:40:40] start making billions of dollars,
[2:40:43] selling oil, accessing this Reconstruction Fund.
[2:40:46] Only if they're doing things right.
[2:40:48] Only if, Peter, only if...
[2:40:50] We're not doing anything.
[2:40:52] We're not putting our money.
[2:40:53] Only if they're doing things right.
[2:40:56] If they're doing things right,
[2:40:57] if people want to invest, they can invest.
[2:40:59] But they have this $300 million fund.
[2:41:03] It's only...
[2:41:04] $300 million fund.
[2:41:05] It's only if they're doing things right.
[2:41:07] Remember this also.
[2:41:08] When you talk about billions of dollars,
[2:41:12] they've had much more than a trillion dollars worth of damage done.
[2:41:15] They got a long way.
[2:41:17] They'll be 15 to 20 years to rebuild what they have right now.
[2:41:21] So they have to behave themselves.
[2:41:24] If they're not behaving, they get hit again.
[2:41:26] You know, they'll be hit again,
[2:41:27] because we can do it very easily.
[2:41:29] It's going to take a long way for them
[2:41:30] to build back their anti-aircraft stuff.
[2:41:32] It's going to take...
[2:41:33] And you know the other thing?
[2:41:34] I want to thank China.
[2:41:36] President Xi, I was with him.
[2:41:39] And he stayed neutral, totally neutral.
[2:41:42] And I appreciate it.
[2:41:44] And I want to thank Vladimir Putin.
[2:41:46] He was very neutral.
[2:41:49] They could have made it much more difficult for us.
[2:41:52] And I want to say it.
[2:41:53] You know, if somebody was saying,
[2:41:53] oh, that's terrible.
[2:41:54] He's thanking President Xi of China.
[2:41:58] Well, let me tell you, I had a long talk with him.
[2:42:00] You know, they have shoulder weapons to knock down airplanes.
[2:42:04] It's not like the real deal.
[2:42:06] But they're accurate.
[2:42:07] They're fairly accurate.
[2:42:08] I said I would really appreciate you not giving or selling any of that stuff to Iran.
[2:42:15] And you know what?
[2:42:16] For the most part, he didn't.
[2:42:20] So I just want to thank them, because they made it a lot better.
[2:42:24] Can you explain, though, what the difference is
[2:42:27] between giving Iran U.S. dollars and unfreezing U.S. dollars for the Iran?
[2:42:33] Well, the unfreezing, that's an easy one to answer.
[2:42:36] We have taken a lot of their money.
[2:42:40] And we have their money.
[2:42:41] We have taken their money.
[2:42:43] It's not our money.
[2:42:44] It's their money.
[2:42:45] And we froze it.
[2:42:47] At a certain point in time, I guess we're going to have to give it back.
[2:42:51] You know, if we didn't give it back,
[2:42:52] nobody would ever invest in the dollar again,
[2:42:55] if you took their money, because I thought about it.
[2:42:58] You know, I'm not the most perfect person.
[2:43:00] I said to Scott, Scott, why do we keep their money?
[2:43:04] What the hell are we giving it back to them?
[2:43:07] But, you know, people from lots of nations,
[2:43:10] some nations we don't agree with, they have their money.
[2:43:13] The dollar has become very strong under me.
[2:43:16] And they don't want to have a little conflict with somebody
[2:43:19] and end up having the United States just take their money.
[2:43:23] So if you do that, you really don't have a system.
[2:43:29] A wise man once said in January of 2020,
[2:43:33] Iran never won a war but never lost a negotiation.
[2:43:39] That wise man.
[2:43:40] Who said that?
[2:43:41] Donald Trump.
[2:43:41] That's what I thought you were going to say.
[2:43:43] So how do you go back to the United States
[2:43:45] and convince a skeptical American public that this deal is a win?
[2:43:50] Well, look, here they lost militarily, okay?
[2:43:52] It's very tough because I know that no matter what,
[2:43:58] if I would go, by the way,
[2:43:59] if I'd go another three or four weeks,
[2:44:00] the same people that are critical would say,
[2:44:02] he went too long, he should have done, you know, no matter what.
[2:44:05] If they raised the white flag of surrender
[2:44:09] and if they said, praise be to Allah,
[2:44:13] Donald Trump is the greatest president ever.
[2:44:15] We totally concede.
[2:44:16] We totally give up.
[2:44:17] This war is over.
[2:44:18] We have failed.
[2:44:20] The New York Times and CNN and a couple of others,
[2:44:23] they're not all that dishonest.
[2:44:24] They'd say Iran had a great victory, okay?
[2:44:28] They practically do that.
[2:44:30] You know, it's amazing.
[2:44:30] When we knocked out their last year,
[2:44:32] they had 159 ships.
[2:44:34] When we knocked out the last year,
[2:44:35] the Times refused to do a story on it.
[2:44:37] They said, why wouldn't you?
[2:44:39] They don't have a Navy
[2:44:40] and you don't want to do a story on it.
[2:44:42] They don't have an Air Force.
[2:44:43] You don't want to do a story.
[2:44:44] We need a fair press.
[2:44:47] And that's why they're all doing so badly
[2:44:49] because they lost credibility.
[2:44:50] When I went in a landslide
[2:44:52] and I had 93% bad press,
[2:44:55] they'd take good stories about me and make them bad.
[2:44:58] But the only reason that happened
[2:45:00] is because they have so little,
[2:45:02] the media has so little credibility
[2:45:04] that the people voted for me.
[2:45:07] 93% of the stories on network talk,
[2:45:11] ABC is horrible.
[2:45:13] I think ABC is the worst.
[2:45:15] NBC is terrible.
[2:45:16] And CBS is terrible.
[2:45:18] CNN, obviously.
[2:45:20] And I never get good stories.
[2:45:21] No matter what I do,
[2:45:22] I could do the greatest thing.
[2:45:24] I won't get good stories on this.
[2:45:26] I'll get it from fair media.
[2:45:27] I'll get it from all over the world.
[2:45:29] They're running good.
[2:45:30] But no matter what I do,
[2:45:32] I'm going to get bad press.
[2:45:33] I know that.
[2:45:33] Now, if I did the opposite,
[2:45:35] if I went out and continued
[2:45:37] to bomb them for another four,
[2:45:38] just bomb the hell out of them,
[2:45:41] I'd get bad press on that.
[2:45:42] No, there's nothing I can do.
[2:45:44] But what this does is it allows the ships to go.
[2:45:47] If we keep bombing,
[2:45:49] those ships won't be going.
[2:45:50] And you're talking about 500,
[2:45:52] 600, 700 million dollars a day.
[2:45:56] It's a lot of money.
[2:45:57] A lot of money.
[2:45:58] That's why the world is okay.
[2:46:00] It's liquid.
[2:46:00] It's fine.
[2:46:01] Also, we run out of reserves
[2:46:03] in about four weeks.
[2:46:04] You know, there are reserves
[2:46:05] all over the world
[2:46:05] and we would really run out.
[2:46:07] And there'll be a time
[2:46:08] when you wouldn't be able to get it.
[2:46:09] And you want to see Bedlam?
[2:46:11] So for all those so-called geniuses
[2:46:13] that want to show me
[2:46:14] how smart they are,
[2:46:16] ask them why didn't they blow up
[2:46:17] General Soleimani.
[2:46:19] Ask that of the general
[2:46:20] and a couple of other people
[2:46:23] that I like very much,
[2:46:24] but boy, are they wrong.
[2:46:26] Go ahead.
[2:46:27] How about you?
[2:46:28] Thank you, Peter.
[2:46:29] I'd give you more, Peter,
[2:46:30] but people will say
[2:46:30] I like you too much.
[2:46:32] Thank you, Mr. President.
[2:46:32] Bonsoir, Mr. President.
[2:46:33] You know, he told me
[2:46:34] the first day in office,
[2:46:37] he asked me like seven questions.
[2:46:38] I answered all of them.
[2:46:40] Is this true?
[2:46:40] He said he just answered
[2:46:43] more questions in one meeting
[2:46:45] than Joe Biden did in four years.
[2:46:47] Okay?
[2:46:47] You know, I'm not going
[2:46:48] to get you in trouble,
[2:46:49] but that's what you said.
[2:46:50] Go ahead.
[2:46:51] Bonsoir, Mr. President,
[2:46:52] in the art of the deal,
[2:46:53] you write about
[2:46:54] the importance of leverage.
[2:46:56] Obviously, you have a lot of leverage
[2:46:57] when it comes to Iran,
[2:46:58] whether it's militarily
[2:46:59] or through economic sanctions.
[2:47:01] What leverage, sir,
[2:47:03] do you have
[2:47:03] when it comes to Israel
[2:47:05] and Hezbollah
[2:47:06] to ensure that they
[2:47:07] abide by the ceasefire?
[2:47:08] Well, I think we have leverage
[2:47:09] just by the fact
[2:47:10] that we really have
[2:47:11] Iran now has to be good.
[2:47:13] They have to behave.
[2:47:15] And we might help.
[2:47:16] That's a much smaller conflict.
[2:47:19] It's a conflict
[2:47:19] that should be able
[2:47:20] to be over with.
[2:47:21] I'm surprised it's taken so long.
[2:47:24] And it's a much smaller,
[2:47:25] but we have a lot of leverage.
[2:47:27] We have, look,
[2:47:27] we have the greatest military
[2:47:28] anywhere in the world.
[2:47:30] We have the strongest,
[2:47:31] most powerful.
[2:47:32] Look at the blockade.
[2:47:33] By the way,
[2:47:33] the blockade
[2:47:34] was more impactful
[2:47:36] than all of the bombing raids
[2:47:38] where we dropped
[2:47:38] a billion dollars worth
[2:47:40] of bombs on Iran.
[2:47:42] The blockade
[2:47:43] was so incredible.
[2:47:44] The naval blockade,
[2:47:46] the admiral,
[2:47:47] the whole thing,
[2:47:48] not one ship got through.
[2:47:50] That meant no money got through.
[2:47:52] They were dying.
[2:47:52] They had no money.
[2:47:53] They have inflation
[2:47:54] that's 250 or 300 percent.
[2:47:57] They have no money.
[2:47:58] We have tremendous leverage.
[2:47:59] We have the leverage
[2:48:00] of the economy as an example.
[2:48:03] We'll get that done.
[2:48:04] That's a small one
[2:48:05] and we'll work with Israel
[2:48:06] and get it done.
[2:48:08] But I'd like to do it.
[2:48:11] I mean,
[2:48:12] you have people living there.
[2:48:14] Buildings are being dropped
[2:48:15] on top of them
[2:48:17] or right alongside of them.
[2:48:20] How would you like to live there?
[2:48:22] It's so unfair,
[2:48:24] especially Beirut.
[2:48:24] You know,
[2:48:25] you're going to Beirut
[2:48:25] and I looked at the scene
[2:48:28] two days ago yesterday
[2:48:29] where they hit.
[2:48:30] That was a big hit.
[2:48:33] That was unnecessary in my book.
[2:48:34] Yeah, please.
[2:48:39] Two questions.
[2:48:39] If you could clarify something
[2:48:41] you said just a few minutes ago.
[2:48:42] One of the goals of Epic Fury
[2:48:43] going into it,
[2:48:44] you said was...
[2:48:45] Say it again.
[2:48:45] Speak up.
[2:48:46] Sorry, one of the goals of Epic Fury
[2:48:47] you said going into it
[2:48:49] was to destroy Iran's ballistic missiles
[2:48:51] and its capabilities to build more.
[2:48:53] Yeah.
[2:48:53] Why is it acceptable to you now
[2:48:55] that they keep some of that capability?
[2:48:57] And Iran is...
[2:48:58] What are they keeping?
[2:49:00] What are they keeping?
[2:49:01] They have less than other nations now.
[2:49:04] We knocked out probably 84, 85% of their missiles.
[2:49:08] The rest of them are underground.
[2:49:09] They can't even get them out.
[2:49:11] You know, the other night's raid,
[2:49:12] I think it was on the first night,
[2:49:13] we knocked out hundreds of their missiles.
[2:49:16] Actually, by mistake,
[2:49:17] we were hitting an area
[2:49:18] and you can sort of see
[2:49:20] when the bombs are going off
[2:49:21] and then you see one that looks like,
[2:49:22] wow, what happened?
[2:49:23] A lot of missiles knocked out.
[2:49:25] No, but what are you going to do?
[2:49:28] Let's spend another two weeks
[2:49:30] and give them...
[2:49:31] They don't want to be firing missiles right now.
[2:49:33] They're going to have a hard time rebuilding.
[2:49:36] They're going to have a hard time rebuilding.
[2:49:38] And if people from the Middle East,
[2:49:39] you know,
[2:49:39] if people want to invest...
[2:49:41] And again,
[2:49:41] they don't have to invest at all.
[2:49:43] But if they do want to invest,
[2:49:44] it does have oil.
[2:49:46] It does have probably a future,
[2:49:48] but it's going to take a long time.
[2:49:49] But are you going to let
[2:49:50] the 91 million people starve to death?
[2:49:53] I mean,
[2:49:54] one of the things I was very intent on,
[2:49:56] they have water desalumization plans,
[2:49:58] very good ones.
[2:49:59] I could have knocked them out in five minutes,
[2:50:02] just like I knocked out Cargill
[2:50:03] and I knocked out everything but the oil.
[2:50:05] I said 25...
[2:50:07] It was so complete.
[2:50:08] The only thing there is the pipes coming with the oil
[2:50:11] because I didn't want to ruin the world market
[2:50:13] because they do a lot of money.
[2:50:16] But I didn't want to do that.
[2:50:19] No.
[2:50:20] It would have been so easy.
[2:50:21] It would have been easier
[2:50:22] and I would have satisfied a group of 10% of the people,
[2:50:26] but it would have been the wrong thing to do.
[2:50:28] And it could have caused...
[2:50:29] It could have caused an international depression.
[2:50:33] Maybe not.
[2:50:34] Iran's position has always been
[2:50:35] that their nuclear program was for civilian purposes.
[2:50:38] If they come back after the signing of this
[2:50:39] and say they want to continue
[2:50:40] to have a civilian nuclear program,
[2:50:42] is that acceptable to you?
[2:50:44] Well, I've said to them always,
[2:50:45] I say, look,
[2:50:46] you have probably the third largest oil reserves in the world.
[2:50:49] What the hell do you need nuclear for?
[2:50:52] You need nuclear for some electricity?
[2:50:54] So I've always felt that way.
[2:50:56] So we've been pretty tough on that.
[2:50:58] You know, it's also...
[2:50:59] It is a little hard, though,
[2:51:00] when you say that somebody wants it,
[2:51:03] other people have it,
[2:51:04] other adjoining states have it,
[2:51:07] and you're not letting them have it
[2:51:08] for purposes of electricity and things like that.
[2:51:11] It's always a little tough.
[2:51:11] You have to use a little common sense, please.
[2:51:14] New York Times, please.
[2:51:16] Thank you, Mr. President, for the question.
[2:51:19] Now that you're approaching a new phase
[2:51:21] in this conflict with Iran,
[2:51:22] can you now say whether you will hold anyone
[2:51:25] in your administration accountable
[2:51:26] for the strike on a school
[2:51:28] that killed more than 100 children
[2:51:30] on the first day of the war?
[2:51:31] No, if it was a fault,
[2:51:34] and as you know, that's under investigation.
[2:51:37] It's such a strange question to be asked at this state.
[2:51:41] I was talking about a long time ago,
[2:51:42] but nobody did that on purpose.
[2:51:45] I guess you'd have to say about them,
[2:51:48] what about the thousands of soldiers
[2:51:50] that they blew up when they opened their car door?
[2:51:52] What about the thousands of people
[2:51:54] that were killed by Iran?
[2:51:56] No, mistakes are made.
[2:51:57] The war is nasty.
[2:51:59] But I know it's under investigation,
[2:52:01] and I could have a report for you tomorrow,
[2:52:03] or I'd ask...
[2:52:04] I would ask Pete...
[2:52:05] I would ask Pete Hexeth that question,
[2:52:08] because they have it under investigation.
[2:52:10] Please.
[2:52:10] Mr. President, you've been saying all week
[2:52:15] that this deal permanently prevents Iran
[2:52:17] from getting a nuclear weapon,
[2:52:19] but the drafts of the deal
[2:52:21] that have been floating around
[2:52:22] barely mention Iran's nuclear program.
[2:52:24] So can you explain how exactly
[2:52:27] the deal achieves that goal?
[2:52:29] So when I say permanently,
[2:52:31] it should be permanently.
[2:52:32] But if it's not permanently,
[2:52:34] we will bomb them.
[2:52:35] They will be bombed,
[2:52:36] just like I bombed them on Wednesday night
[2:52:39] and Tuesday night,
[2:52:40] and was going to bomb them on Thursday night
[2:52:42] at a level that was three times greater,
[2:52:44] and they knew that.
[2:52:46] I will bomb them.
[2:52:48] Now, that's with me as president.
[2:52:50] If you have a weak, pathetic president,
[2:52:52] maybe that doesn't happen,
[2:52:54] but I can only do the job that I have to do.
[2:52:56] I have a long time to go.
[2:52:57] I have almost three years,
[2:52:59] close to three years.
[2:53:00] Time is going fast.
[2:53:03] But our country has become,
[2:53:04] we're the most respected country in the world.
[2:53:06] Those leaders today,
[2:53:08] they said,
[2:53:08] we used to laugh at you.
[2:53:09] Two years ago,
[2:53:10] the same guys,
[2:53:11] they'd laugh at the country.
[2:53:12] Now they say,
[2:53:13] you're the most respected country
[2:53:14] anywhere in the world,
[2:53:16] militarily,
[2:53:17] even military.
[2:53:18] Take a look at what happened in,
[2:53:20] look at what happened
[2:53:22] in so many different locations.
[2:53:24] Afghanistan,
[2:53:25] that horrible retreat
[2:53:27] that these people made,
[2:53:28] leaving equipment behind.
[2:53:30] They weren't under any pressure.
[2:53:31] You take your time.
[2:53:33] You can get out.
[2:53:34] I was going to get out.
[2:53:35] We were going to get out
[2:53:35] with dignity and pride,
[2:53:37] take 100% of the equipment.
[2:53:38] I was even taking the tents down.
[2:53:41] But then they got in
[2:53:42] and they just left.
[2:53:44] They left all the equipment.
[2:53:45] I may get all that equipment back.
[2:53:47] Now here's the thing,
[2:53:48] more symbolic
[2:53:48] because it's a little old now,
[2:53:50] but we may get it all back.
[2:53:54] Afghanistan is kissing our ass.
[2:53:56] You know that?
[2:53:59] Bomb Iran if they don't comply,
[2:54:00] but there's nothing enforceable
[2:54:02] in the deal itself.
[2:54:03] Is that correct?
[2:54:04] It doesn't have to be.
[2:54:06] I let them know.
[2:54:06] I said, look,
[2:54:07] if you don't adhere to the agreement,
[2:54:09] I don't want to do that,
[2:54:11] but we're going to bomb
[2:54:12] the hell out of you.
[2:54:14] And I don't think
[2:54:14] that they're going to veer
[2:54:15] from the agreement.
[2:54:16] What else am I going to do?
[2:54:17] Am I going to say,
[2:54:18] I'm going to take you to court?
[2:54:19] Let me take you to court.
[2:54:20] Let me sue you.
[2:54:22] No, we're going to bomb
[2:54:23] the hell out of them
[2:54:24] if they violate the agreement.
[2:54:25] I don't want them to.
[2:54:27] I want them to honor the agreement.
[2:54:29] Again, the straits close up.
[2:54:31] Bad things can happen.
[2:54:32] You know, in war,
[2:54:33] terrible things happen,
[2:54:35] like you mentioned the question
[2:54:36] before about a school gets hit,
[2:54:39] other things get hit.
[2:54:40] Bad things happen in war.
[2:54:42] War is a nasty place.
[2:54:44] I see it.
[2:54:44] I see it.
[2:54:45] I see it better than
[2:54:46] maybe anybody has ever seen it.
[2:54:48] Go ahead, please.
[2:54:51] Thank you, President Trump.
[2:54:53] Oil prices are now plummeting.
[2:54:55] How do you see this agreement
[2:54:57] further affecting energy prices
[2:54:59] in the U.S.
[2:55:00] and the U.S. economy
[2:55:01] in the long term?
[2:55:02] And secondly, Mr. President,
[2:55:04] how do you think
[2:55:05] Vice President J.D. Vance
[2:55:06] did on The View yesterday?
[2:55:07] Well, first of all,
[2:55:08] thank you for the word plummeting
[2:55:10] because that's what's happening.
[2:55:11] Oil prices are plummeting.
[2:55:13] And that means oil prices
[2:55:16] are going to come down.
[2:55:17] You know, if you make donuts,
[2:55:18] you have a heating,
[2:55:18] you have a stove,
[2:55:19] and you have to buy the heat.
[2:55:23] You need the gas
[2:55:24] or the electricity
[2:55:25] or whatever you're using.
[2:55:26] And when oil prices come down,
[2:55:28] oil is the biggest thing.
[2:55:29] Oil is, you get oil prices
[2:55:31] coming down,
[2:55:31] and they're going to come down.
[2:55:33] And we're hitting into threes now
[2:55:34] for gasoline,
[2:55:35] and that'll come down a lot lower.
[2:55:37] So I was in Iowa
[2:55:38] just before this started,
[2:55:39] and I was saying to myself,
[2:55:40] I can't believe we're doing so well,
[2:55:42] but I have to go
[2:55:43] and we have to put out this fire in Iran
[2:55:46] because I don't want them
[2:55:47] using a nuclear weapon.
[2:55:48] They would have used a nuclear weapon.
[2:55:49] A hundred percent
[2:55:50] they would have used it.
[2:55:51] The only question is,
[2:55:53] was it going to be that day
[2:55:54] or that week?
[2:55:54] They would have used a nuclear weapon.
[2:55:56] They were on the way,
[2:55:57] and I said,
[2:55:57] we're going to have to put out the fire.
[2:55:59] And I said, you know,
[2:56:02] oil prices,
[2:56:03] so gasoline,
[2:56:04] we passed two gas stations in Iowa.
[2:56:07] Made a speech up there.
[2:56:08] The people are great.
[2:56:09] I want it by so much.
[2:56:11] And I love the people.
[2:56:12] We passed two gas stations.
[2:56:16] One was $1.85.
[2:56:18] One was $1.91.
[2:56:20] Now, that's Iowa,
[2:56:21] but it was,
[2:56:22] I mean,
[2:56:22] California has all those crazy taxes
[2:56:24] that they put on,
[2:56:25] you know,
[2:56:25] California taxes.
[2:56:26] But the oil was down to $2,
[2:56:30] to I'd say between $2 and $2.50.
[2:56:33] And it was heading down further.
[2:56:36] And we were going to have a great run.
[2:56:38] We took a little journey down to a place called
[2:56:41] the Islamic Republic of Iran,
[2:56:45] and we bombed the hell out of them.
[2:56:47] And now they can never have a nuclear weapon.
[2:56:49] Now,
[2:56:50] we had a disturbance,
[2:56:52] but I must say,
[2:56:53] it was much less than anybody thought.
[2:56:56] The oil never went to $350 a barrel.
[2:56:59] It went to $115, $120.
[2:57:01] The oil never went anywhere near that.
[2:57:04] And the other thing,
[2:57:04] I thought the stock market would go down 25% or 30%.
[2:57:07] The stock market a week ago,
[2:57:11] before we started this,
[2:57:12] was higher than it was when we started,
[2:57:14] which tells you that we have a very resilient economy.
[2:57:18] We have the strongest economy we've ever had.
[2:57:20] Now,
[2:57:21] the word affordability is a fake word,
[2:57:23] but made up by the Democrats.
[2:57:24] Here's where it's fake,
[2:57:26] because they made it up,
[2:57:27] because I inherited these prices.
[2:57:31] And when I had my first news conference,
[2:57:33] first day,
[2:57:35] they started screaming affordability,
[2:57:37] the Democrats,
[2:57:38] affordability,
[2:57:39] affordability,
[2:57:40] they're screaming.
[2:57:41] I say,
[2:57:41] what's that all about?
[2:57:42] They gave it to me.
[2:57:44] They gave it to me.
[2:57:45] It's affordability.
[2:57:47] And they use that word to a fairly well.
[2:57:50] Well,
[2:57:50] they were the ones that created the affordability crisis.
[2:57:53] I'm the one that got it down.
[2:57:54] Remember,
[2:57:55] highest insurance rates in history,
[2:57:57] highest rates for everything,
[2:57:59] eggs.
[2:57:59] Remember eggs?
[2:58:00] They were four times more expensive
[2:58:01] than they were in my administration.
[2:58:03] And I got it down,
[2:58:05] Peter,
[2:58:05] very quickly.
[2:58:07] Our secretary did a good job of agriculture.
[2:58:10] Brooke,
[2:58:11] she did a great job with eggs and everything else.
[2:58:13] And now that the oil is coming down,
[2:58:16] you're going to see everything follow.
[2:58:18] Everything follows the cost of energy.
[2:58:20] And we're going to end up having the lowest energy
[2:58:22] anywhere in the world.
[2:58:24] Please.
[2:58:25] Yeah.
[2:58:28] No?
[2:58:28] Please.
[2:58:29] Thank you.
[2:58:30] You're from ABC.
[2:58:31] You're fake news.
[2:58:32] Go ahead.
[2:58:33] To follow up on oil,
[2:58:34] can you confirm,
[2:58:35] will Iran be able to immediately sell their oil to market?
[2:58:39] And will U.S. sanctions snap back immediately
[2:58:42] if there is a delay or collapse in the talks?
[2:58:45] And then,
[2:58:45] relatedly,
[2:58:46] is there any safeguard in this deal
[2:58:48] to prevent Iran from charging what they say could be fees
[2:58:52] after the 60-day extension?
[2:58:54] The thing that's going to stop them from doing that,
[2:58:57] because you can't cover everything in a document,
[2:59:00] is common sense.
[2:59:01] They don't want to get bombed.
[2:59:02] They don't want to get hit.
[2:59:03] As far as sanctions are concerned,
[2:59:05] at some point,
[2:59:06] you know,
[2:59:06] we have sanctions
[2:59:06] which will never let them rebuild.
[2:59:09] They would have no money.
[2:59:10] They would be in poverty.
[2:59:11] Then 91 million people would starve.
[2:59:14] So something will happen as soon as they behave.
[2:59:16] When they behave,
[2:59:17] we're going to let that go.
[2:59:19] We're going to have to.
[2:59:20] I put sanctions on a lot of people,
[2:59:21] and then I let them go.
[2:59:22] A lot of countries.
[2:59:23] Yeah, please.
[2:59:24] Thank you, Mr. President.
[2:59:27] My name is Shinji Abe.
[2:59:28] I'm a Japanese Yomiri newspaper company
[2:59:30] from the Washington correspondent.
[2:59:32] My question is about the Strait of Hormes.
[2:59:36] Did you ask other G7 nations to send military force?
[2:59:41] And what specifically are you asking of Japan?
[2:59:43] Where are you from?
[2:59:46] I'm from Japan.
[2:59:47] From where?
[2:59:48] Japan.
[2:59:49] I just left your prime minister.
[2:59:52] Japan is doing very well.
[2:59:54] She's my biggest fan.
[2:59:56] I have to tell you.
[2:59:57] She thinks I did a great job.
[2:59:58] You have to call her and ask her.
[3:00:00] She's doing a very good job, by the way.
[3:00:02] Go ahead.
[3:00:04] Military support is no longer necessary.
[3:00:06] What do you want to know?
[3:00:08] Go ahead.
[3:00:08] Just tell me what you want to know.
[3:00:10] Okay.
[3:00:11] My question is,
[3:00:12] did you ask other G7 nations
[3:00:14] to send military force
[3:00:15] and what specifically are you asking of Japan?
[3:00:19] To send the air force?
[3:00:21] For what?
[3:00:22] Other countries?
[3:00:28] Not just Japan?
[3:00:29] No.
[3:00:30] No, I don't need it.
[3:00:31] We don't need it.
[3:00:32] Oh, by the way,
[3:00:32] they all want to do it.
[3:00:35] They all want to do it.
[3:00:36] Every single one of them,
[3:00:37] they want to go be a part of it now.
[3:00:39] Not while the war was going on.
[3:00:41] I was a little disappointed.
[3:00:42] The UK, I said,
[3:00:45] it would be nice if you send ships.
[3:00:47] I didn't put a hard sell on,
[3:00:48] but I said,
[3:00:49] it would be nice if you send some ships.
[3:00:51] And the Prime Minister said,
[3:00:54] they'll be there, sir,
[3:00:55] as soon as the war is over.
[3:00:57] I said,
[3:00:57] did he just say that?
[3:00:58] I couldn't believe it, actually.
[3:01:02] Japan has offered to get involved.
[3:01:03] But I mean,
[3:01:04] I'll be honest,
[3:01:05] Japan was not willing
[3:01:06] to get involved during the war.
[3:01:08] I asked her,
[3:01:09] I said,
[3:01:09] you want to get involved a little bit?
[3:01:11] I didn't put the heavy sell on,
[3:01:12] but they said,
[3:01:15] no, we don't want to get involved.
[3:01:17] Nobody did.
[3:01:18] We did it ourselves,
[3:01:19] with Israel,
[3:01:20] and with the Arab states
[3:01:21] that got hit,
[3:01:22] surprisingly hit.
[3:01:24] Yeah.
[3:01:27] Yes, please.
[3:01:28] Go ahead.
[3:01:29] Thanks a lot.
[3:01:32] Question on Brazil.
[3:01:34] I would like to know,
[3:01:35] how was your interaction
[3:01:37] here in Evian
[3:01:38] during the G7
[3:01:39] with the Brazilian President Lula?
[3:01:42] Did you talk about
[3:01:43] the new U.S. tariffs on Brazil?
[3:01:46] Did you talk about
[3:01:47] the U.S. designation
[3:01:48] of criminal gangs?
[3:01:52] Yeah, we did.
[3:01:53] How was it?
[3:01:54] I spent a lot of time with them,
[3:01:56] actually,
[3:01:56] and it's become
[3:02:00] a little rough country,
[3:02:01] right, politically.
[3:02:02] It's been a little dangerous,
[3:02:03] politically.
[3:02:04] You're talking about Brazil,
[3:02:05] yeah?
[3:02:07] It's been nasty.
[3:02:09] I hear they arrested somebody
[3:02:11] that's running for office today.
[3:02:13] I found that out
[3:02:14] after we left.
[3:02:15] I just said goodbye to them,
[3:02:16] and I heard that they
[3:02:17] arrested the
[3:02:19] Bolsonaro Jr.
[3:02:21] He was doing well
[3:02:22] in the polls,
[3:02:22] and they arrested him
[3:02:23] because he made a statement
[3:02:25] in Texas.
[3:02:27] They arrested him,
[3:02:28] or they want to arrest him.
[3:02:29] They have something out
[3:02:30] if he's arrested.
[3:02:31] All right,
[3:02:31] they play pretty tough,
[3:02:32] but nobody plays tougher
[3:02:34] than the United States.
[3:02:35] Look,
[3:02:35] our elections are totally rigged.
[3:02:37] We have rigged elections.
[3:02:41] Please,
[3:02:42] in the back.
[3:02:42] Yes, sir.
[3:02:43] Go ahead.
[3:02:47] Thank you so much,
[3:02:47] President.
[3:02:48] Thank you.
[3:02:49] Sumo Sakamoto,
[3:02:50] the Asashi Shimbun.
[3:02:52] For G7,
[3:02:53] the concept of the rule of law
[3:02:55] has long been considered
[3:02:58] the core principle.
[3:03:00] During this summit,
[3:03:01] did any of the leaders
[3:03:02] express any concerns
[3:03:04] on the possible violation
[3:03:06] of international law
[3:03:08] on the attack on Iran?
[3:03:11] No.
[3:03:12] No,
[3:03:12] actually the opposite.
[3:03:13] They felt they were
[3:03:14] very dangerous.
[3:03:16] They were very relieved
[3:03:17] because they could get hit too.
[3:03:19] They were very relieved.
[3:03:20] No,
[3:03:21] we never discussed that.
[3:03:22] No,
[3:03:23] it would be the opposite.
[3:03:25] They broke the law.
[3:03:25] They killed thousands of people.
[3:03:27] They killed thousands
[3:03:27] of our soldiers
[3:03:28] and hundreds of thousands
[3:03:30] of people.
[3:03:31] Yeah,
[3:03:32] please go ahead.
[3:03:32] Go ahead.
[3:03:42] Mr. President.
[3:03:43] Yes.
[3:03:43] Yesterday,
[3:03:45] the Pakistan thanks
[3:03:46] for the Chinese government
[3:03:47] to help make peace talk
[3:03:49] between Iran
[3:03:50] and the United States.
[3:03:51] So,
[3:03:52] what do you think
[3:03:52] about China's work
[3:03:54] to get the United States
[3:03:55] and Iran
[3:03:56] sitting down
[3:03:57] to talk
[3:03:58] and make the deal?
[3:03:59] And the second question is...
[3:04:00] Okay,
[3:04:00] let me answer the question.
[3:04:02] Okay.
[3:04:02] So,
[3:04:02] I think China's been terrific.
[3:04:03] I told you that before.
[3:04:05] They could have been bad.
[3:04:07] They could have sent in
[3:04:08] to try and block
[3:04:10] or break
[3:04:11] the blockade.
[3:04:13] They could have sent in
[3:04:14] an oil ship
[3:04:14] with six destroyers
[3:04:17] alongside of it
[3:04:18] on each side.
[3:04:18] They didn't do that.
[3:04:21] President Xi helped me.
[3:04:22] He tried to help
[3:04:23] and I think he probably helped
[3:04:25] get it solved.
[3:04:26] You know,
[3:04:26] they get 50% of their oil
[3:04:28] from that location.
[3:04:29] So,
[3:04:29] that wasn't that easy.
[3:04:30] President Xi was fantastic.
[3:04:32] He tried to help me solve it
[3:04:34] and he didn't give
[3:04:35] any big weaponry.
[3:04:36] I guess something,
[3:04:37] we'll find something
[3:04:38] somewhere along that.
[3:04:39] But he didn't give
[3:04:39] any big weaponry,
[3:04:40] I can tell you that.
[3:04:41] No,
[3:04:41] I think China was...
[3:04:43] I couldn't ask for much more.
[3:04:45] Again,
[3:04:46] they were impacted
[3:04:47] because they get
[3:04:48] more than 50%
[3:04:50] of their oil
[3:04:50] from the Harmoist Strait.
[3:04:53] And,
[3:04:53] no,
[3:04:53] I thought they were fantastic.
[3:04:55] Okay.
[3:04:56] How about one more question
[3:04:57] right here?
[3:04:58] Go ahead, please.
[3:05:00] The latest
[3:05:01] YouGov Economist poll
[3:05:02] shows that Democrats
[3:05:03] have lost a five-point edge
[3:05:04] on the generic
[3:05:05] congressional ballot.
[3:05:06] They just have now
[3:05:07] just a two-point lead
[3:05:08] since February.
[3:05:10] Do you think
[3:05:10] that they're losing momentum?
[3:05:12] Well,
[3:05:13] I see the Republicans
[3:05:14] in generics.
[3:05:15] You know,
[3:05:15] generics are very important.
[3:05:16] I don't know how accurate
[3:05:17] because I see a lot
[3:05:19] of bad polls.
[3:05:20] Polls are very dishonest
[3:05:21] just like a lot
[3:05:22] of reporters
[3:05:23] like these people
[3:05:24] over here
[3:05:24] are very dishonest.
[3:05:25] CNN,
[3:05:26] ABC,
[3:05:27] it's a whole group
[3:05:28] of them over there
[3:05:28] that really
[3:05:29] dishonest people.
[3:05:31] But,
[3:05:31] you know,
[3:05:32] and really,
[3:05:32] networks are very dishonest.
[3:05:34] And they have to
[3:05:34] straighten themselves out
[3:05:35] or they're not going
[3:05:36] to be very successful
[3:05:37] because people
[3:05:37] don't believe them anymore.
[3:05:38] But,
[3:05:39] no,
[3:05:39] the generics
[3:05:40] are very interesting
[3:05:41] because the Republicans
[3:05:42] are coming up strong
[3:05:43] even before this.
[3:05:44] You know why?
[3:05:45] They're seeing all
[3:05:45] these lunatics
[3:05:46] like the guy in Maine
[3:05:48] with the swastika.
[3:05:51] You know,
[3:05:51] for 10 years
[3:05:53] they've been calling me
[3:05:53] a Nazi.
[3:05:55] And now they have
[3:05:56] a Nazi running.
[3:05:56] He's got a tattoo on him.
[3:05:58] I've been denying it
[3:05:59] for 10 years.
[3:06:00] They know it's not so,
[3:06:01] but they've been calling.
[3:06:02] I don't think
[3:06:02] they can call
[3:06:03] to me anymore.
[3:06:04] You know?
[3:06:04] One more?
[3:06:06] One more?
[3:06:07] Go ahead,
[3:06:07] Peter.
[3:06:07] Let me finish with Peter
[3:06:08] because he's been
[3:06:09] better to me
[3:06:10] than he's been to Biden.
[3:06:14] Thank you,
[3:06:15] President Trump.
[3:06:16] I have a question
[3:06:17] about this weekend.
[3:06:18] Why not stick around
[3:06:19] for the signing ceremony
[3:06:22] with this Iran peace deal?
[3:06:23] I might.
[3:06:24] You might.
[3:06:25] Yeah,
[3:06:25] I might.
[3:06:25] But I'd rather,
[3:06:27] this is a memorandum
[3:06:28] of understanding.
[3:06:30] It's very important.
[3:06:31] But it might not be
[3:06:32] the kind of a document
[3:06:35] that I should be signing.
[3:06:36] There's some element
[3:06:37] to this where
[3:06:38] you send the vice president.
[3:06:40] If it works out,
[3:06:42] great,
[3:06:43] you'll look like a genius
[3:06:44] for sending him.
[3:06:45] And if it doesn't work out,
[3:06:47] it's the vice president's.
[3:06:48] I like that idea,
[3:06:49] sure.
[3:06:49] Well,
[3:06:50] this way,
[3:06:51] if it works out,
[3:06:51] I'm going to take the credit.
[3:06:52] if it doesn't work out,
[3:06:53] I'm blaming J.D.
[3:06:54] You better be careful, J.D.
[3:06:56] He's going to turn
[3:06:57] his plane around
[3:06:58] and get the hell out of here.
[3:06:59] Yeah,
[3:06:59] I like that idea.
[3:07:00] I think it's a good idea.
[3:07:01] Thank you very much,
[3:07:02] everybody.
[3:07:03] Thank you.
