00:00I think everybody is pretty nervous, except for us. And I can understand the reason. If they

00:07recall what they had said about President Trump during the last four to eight years,

00:13and if they think that President Trump remembers all those, then I think there's a good reason why

00:18they are nervous. I think that Europe should pay more respect to the American citizens because

00:30bashing their presidents, bashing the outcome of the elections, basically it means that the

00:37right or the ability of the American people to make a decision about their own future is being

00:43challenged by those who act like this. So what we argue in favor is as tight cooperation with the US

00:50as possible. And actually the fact that President Trump has won the election could offer a great

00:57chance to Europe as well to finally get rid of the very unsuccessful and failed strategy,

01:04which is a pro-war, pro-migration strategy. We should walk away from that and change to a

01:11no-war, no-migration strategy. But so far, at least what I have seen here today

01:18is a bit of lack of understanding about this new reality, or at least a denial of the new reality.
