Trump briefs media amid Russian diesel deal & Guilfoyle resignation

[0:00] President, she was almost a member of your family. How surprised were you to learn about [0:20] these allegations? She wasn't a member of my family. She, I guess, dated my son a long [0:25] time ago, but she wasn't. No, she went to Greece. She was doing a good job, but we didn't like [0:32] what we were reading. What did she say to you? I didn't speak to her, no, but she will not be there. [0:47] I didn't like what I read. Did you stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine? Stop sharing intel with [0:54] Ukraine. Have we stopped sharing intel with Ukraine? No, we haven't. We helped them, [0:59] but we're really helping them get to a final answer. We want the war ended, Peter. We are [1:05] helping them, and we are sharing intel. We want the war to end, so we're working with them and with [1:11] Russia on getting the war to end. And what gives you such confidence that Putin wants the war to end [1:19] more than Zelensky? Only in dealing. That's what I've done my whole life is deals. I think Putin [1:25] wants it probably. I think they both want it to end. You know, honestly, they both want it to end, [1:30] and they don't know how to get to that point. There's a lot of hatred there between the two of [1:36] them. They both want it to end. They don't know how to get there. We're going to get them there. [1:40] And can I ask you, there are some Republicans in the Senate who are upset about this diesel [1:45] deal. Has somebody told you that Russia's not just going to take this diesel money and use it to buy [1:53] bombs? Nobody's told me anything. That's a diesel deal, not for us. That's being released into the [1:59] world. That's not being released to us. That's a diesel deal that's going to be released into the [2:05] world for the world market, because the world market suffered with high prices. And [2:10] when you knock out diesel refineries, that's not a great thing. But they're not releasing that to us. [2:18] They're releasing it to the entire world. [2:20] But are you worried about that? Are you worried? [2:22] Mr. President, how decided on the live streaming of Miguel Hassan, the fourth shooter, has he [2:28] decided on that? And are you concerned? [2:30] Mr. President, I'm looking at it. [2:31] Mr. President. [2:32] I think she was very good. I think she was very good. [2:45] But where did she pass the bar exam, man? You said she's an attorney. Where did she pass the [2:51] bar exam. Which state? Where did you pass the bar exam? Mr. President. On the ice arrest of Oscar [3:06] Delgado, the criminal illegal alien, and then I heard you had a phone conversation with Mom Donnie [3:10] about it. He asked you to release him. Could you tell us about that conversation? We had a very nice [3:14] conversation. We disagree. This is a very bad actor, and we have to take care of the bad actors [3:21] because we don't want our people hurt or killed. Mr. President, are you concerned? Who's [3:31] asking that question? They're behaving very badly. What are you going to do about that? I mean, [3:40] if I told you I made a decision, that would be great. The Houthis have acted very bad. Mr. President, [3:46] who has broken the ceasefire? Are you asking authorities to join the rest of the [3:52] Yemen? I might do it. He's a great friend of mine, as you know, and I might do that. I have [3:58] a lot of respect for the president of Turkey. President Erdogan, I think, would do as I ask. [4:05] I have a lot of respect. Why haven't you endorsed the Israeli election? Why haven't you endorsed [4:11] the Israeli election? We haven't even thought about it. Well, we may be. I may be doing something. [4:16] You have to speak. Mr. President, are you hopeful? Always, always Iran. What will be your next step [4:42] regarding Iran? What about the base? Iran is a failed country. They have no economy. They have [4:55] 300 percent inflation. They have no money. They're not paying their troops. They're not paying their [5:00] they're not paying anybody. We'll make a decision on Iran. What about the base? And we have and we [5:07] control the Homo Strait. And a lot of oil is coming out of the Homo Strait. What about the base? [5:13] You will talk about the base? Well, they want to build a base. And we'll see. They're going to pay for it. [5:19] What did you message the president? What did you say, Mr. President, what does he say? [5:23] What security insurance did you offer us? On what? Saudi Arabia. Did you speak to the Saudi [5:30] president? I did, yeah. I did, yeah. And what did you offer [5:32] Democrats? I can't tell you that. Do you really think I can tell you that? I'd love to tell you, [5:37] but I'm not going to tell you that. Well, we'll see. They're both, they're both a little bit [5:47] off. You know what? Bottom line, it's going to all work out. You know why? It always does. [5:53] I would say equal. I think, you know, for some reason, when you have a sitting president, [6:07] no matter how good, nobody's done what I've done. Nobody, not even close. But no matter how good, [6:12] they seem to be at a big disadvantage, tremendous disadvantage. But I'm doing a tour right now, [6:19] when I'm doing rallies, the level of enthusiasm for the Republican Party is way up, not just where [6:27] I'm doing them. For instance, John Huston, I heard he went up nine points yesterday. I did the rally for [6:33] him. And he went up. He's going to be a great senator. John Huston went up nine points yesterday, [6:39] Peter. So I'm doing rallies. I'm right now going to Alaska to try and help Dan Sullivan. That's a long [6:47] way away. And I would only do it if I thought he was good. And he's very good. And so I'm going to [6:52] Alaska to help Dan Sullivan. And then I'm stopping at numerous places. But I'm doing, on average, [6:59] a rally a day. Do you think that's easy? It's not. [7:02] I don't take a position. I think she's a terrible person. I think she's a terrible [7:15] congresswoman. I don't think she loves our country at all. But I don't take a position. [7:22] I think it's impossible. I think it's a terrible situation. [7:25] Mr. President, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia [7:30] hit six energy sites on yesterday, according to the Ukraine end. What evidence do you have? [7:34] Well, Ukraine hit many sites the day before. [7:36] But Ukraine hit many. [7:38] But in your view, Russia has not broken the ceasefire. [7:40] I'll let you know about that later. But they're hitting each other. But it'll all come to an end. [7:46] They both wanted to come to an end. [7:50] They just don't know how to get there. [7:52] It's a deal for the world. [8:03] It's not a deal for us. [8:04] It's a way of getting a lot of oil out to the world. [8:07] It's not a deal with me. [8:08] It's a deal for the world. [8:11] And it brought down prices, by the way. [8:14] You know, the oil deal brought down prices. [8:16] That's a world deal, that's not a U.S.A. deal. [8:19] Do you think some of your policies are making it harder? [8:21] Do you think some of your policies are making it harder? [8:25] About the Turkish leader Erdogan, he said that he solves the Turkish problem, he deserves [8:32] a noble peace price. [8:33] What do you take on this? [8:35] That who deserves it? [8:37] President Erdogan, if he solves the Turkish issue. [8:42] I don't know. [8:44] Does the president need a new president? [8:46] Does anybody want to see a great work of art, a great thing of beauty? [8:53] Absolutely. [8:54] The helipad, right? [8:56] The helipad has got an unbelievable architecture reviews, but that's nothing compared to what's [9:02] being killed. [9:03] You see those cranes? [9:06] They're the most powerful cranes in the world. [9:09] They're lifting up massive steel beams. [9:12] There's one on each side. [9:13] The red and the yellow. [9:17] They're lifting up massive steel beams, which is the roof of the ballroom. [9:21] To me, it's a thing of great beauty. [9:24] They've wanted it here for 150 years, and now they're getting it. [9:29] The ballroom will be the greatest anywhere in the world. [9:32] And it's a military complex also. [9:34] But the ballroom will be the greatest anywhere in the world. [9:38] And I think maybe, I know at least Peter agrees with me. [9:41] When will the ballroom? [9:42] It's going to be a mess. [9:43] It's going to be a mess. [9:44] When will it be finished? [9:45] I don't know. [9:46] We're right on. [9:47] We're a little ahead of schedule. [9:48] Right on budget. [9:49] We're in good shape. [9:51] Looks good, right? [9:53] Look at that stuff, Peter. [9:58] It's bright. [9:59] Look at it. [10:00] It's pure. [10:01] All right, so there you have it. [10:42] President Trump taking some questions ahead of his trip to Alaska right there. [10:46] Not taking as many questions as sometimes he does. [10:49] But he was joined there with the new White House press secretary who we just heard from, Katie Zachariah. [10:56] She was there and now this live look that it abruptly changed to from inside the press room. [11:02] A live look, though, also of Air Force One. [11:05] And that is where we're going to be expecting President Trump to head to next. [11:10] Part of that line of questioning, though, happened to pertain to some breaking news that we first heard from Katie Zachariah about. [11:19] And that is this right here, that U.S. Ambassador of Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, she has resigned after allegations of improper conduct. [11:27] We were hearing from Katie saying that the White House had formally asked her to resign. [11:32] And now we know that she has. [11:34] Meanwhile, Kimberly also taking to social media to share her thoughts on this. [11:40] And I did want to share her statement to you. [11:44] It is lengthy, but we did want to bring it to you here on Live Now from Fox. [11:49] So she says, quote, serving as the United States ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. [11:55] I will forever be grateful to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world. [12:08] For my first day as ambassador, I have worked tirelessly to advance President Trump's America first agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece and deliver meaningful victories for the American people. [12:23] She then goes on to say this during my tenure, we have helped secure historic agreements to expand American liquefied natural gas exports to Europe, advance the vertical corridor to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian energy, [12:39] strengthened our defense and security partnership with a critical NATO ally and expanded opportunities for American businesses and investment throughout the region. [12:50] I am especially proud of the role our embassy has played in strengthening American energy dominance, advancing economic cooperation and ensuring that the United States remains the indispensable leader in the Southeast Europe. [13:04] She then goes on to say that, quote, these accomplishments are a testament to President Trump's bold leadership, Secretary Rubio's commitment to American diplomacy and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day. [13:18] I also want to address the recent allegations against me. [13:22] These allegations are false and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation and my integrity. [13:29] I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right and defending the values that make America exceptional. [13:39] I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service. [13:46] So she did address those allegations right there. [13:48] And then in conclusion, she says, while my time as ambassador may be coming to an end, my commitment to President Trump and the America First movement and the country I love will never end. [13:59] It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the United States of America, my deepest heartfelt appreciation to the people of Greece for their hospitality, partnership and welcoming me with open arms. [14:12] God bless President Trump. God bless our incredible diplomats and service members. [14:17] God bless the United States of America. [14:20] God bless the United States of America.
