00:00An end to the war is being negotiated while a fifth of Ukrainian territory is under enemy
00:07occupation. The danger is that aggression does not merely go unpunished but ends up rewarded.
00:15Russia and other authoritarian regimes will be emboldened if that is how this war ends.
00:23And this is why it is absolutely critical that the Prime Minister succeeds
00:28in his talks with President Trump later this week. America is an ally but I've been very clear
00:34that I disagree with President Trump when he said that President Zelensky was a dictator. Vladimir
00:40Putin is the dictator and I wouldn't be afraid to say so. But I also would be saying things
00:47that he and I would agree with which is that we need to spend more on defense. And a relationship
00:52even with friends and allies isn't about just telling people what they want to hear it's about
00:56speaking the truth. But there are so many things that we can cooperate on with the U.S. I don't
01:00think I would be having any problems with those discussions.
