00:00President Macron is very special man in my book. We were together. We did it together and I think a lot of progress has been made.
00:10We've had some very good talks with Russia. We've had some very good talks with others and we're trying to get the war ended with Russia and Ukraine.
00:18And I think we've come a long way.
00:21Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.
00:24You may not be able to include a security guarantee for Ukraine.
00:27Well, it'll be... Europe is going to make sure that nothing happens. I don't think it's going to be much of a problem.
00:33I think once we settle, there's going to be no more war in Ukraine.
00:38You're not going to have... It's not going to be a very big problem. That's going to be the least of it.
00:42Do you support the idea to send European troops in Ukraine to back the...
00:46European troops may go into Ukraine as peacemakers.
00:51So when the agreement is done, they can watch that everything is followed properly.
00:55I don't think that's going to be a problem. And a lot of the European countries...
00:59I think... I don't want to speak for France, but I know that the President has talked about doing that also.
01:05I think that'll be a very good day where we can go in as peacekeepers as opposed to what's going on right now with everybody being killed.
01:12Do you meet with President Zelensky soon?
01:15I will be meeting with President Zelensky. In fact, he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement, which would be nice.
01:23I'd love to meet him. We'd meet at the Oval Office.
01:26So the agreement's being worked on now. They're very close to a final deal.
01:31It'll be a deal with Rare Earths and various other things.
01:35And he would like to come, as I understand it, here to sign it, and that would be great with me.
01:40Will you convince Vladimir Putin to accept the European troops as peacekeepers, do you think?
01:46Yeah, he will accept that. I've asked him that question.
01:49You talked to him?
01:50I've asked him that question.
01:52Look, if we do this deal, he's not looking for war. He doesn't mind.
01:58But I've specifically asked him that question. He has no problem with it.
