00:00Ukraine is a democracy, it's a peaceful nation. It was invaded by a dictator, so no, I don't think
00:10that at all. And we have been firm, solid supporters of Ukraine since before the invasion and
00:20subsequently, as have many nations across Europe and indeed as the US. And we've all done that
00:26because we know this war is illegal. It is absolutely wrong. There's been hundreds of
00:30thousands of people who lost their lives on both sides of this war. It's totally wrong.
00:35What we need to see now is a peaceful outcome. And I welcome President Trump's efforts to bring
00:40about that outcome. But it must be the case that Ukraine is at the table, not on the table. That's
00:47hugely important. Otherwise, there cannot be a peaceful outcome to this war. And we must keep
00:53that front and centre in our minds when we're negotiating with the aggressor here, Vladimir
00:58Putin. President Trump is the democratically elected leader of the US. Of course, we've got
01:03to work with him. I think somebody once said about President Trump is you take him seriously,
01:08but not literally. So I think he wants the same things we want, which is a peaceful outcome
01:14to this war in Europe. And so I think that is something we all have in common. The way you go
01:22about getting to that point, I think President Trump will always have working in slightly
01:28different ways to many other people. So the key thing is the outcome, the end result. That's what
01:35we should be focusing on. And I think we all want the same thing. So I think there's plenty there,
01:39plenty of common ground that we can work together on.
