00:00Yeah, you mentioned that meeting in the Oval Office last month. I think the word

00:04disastrous is probably the best adjective to describe it. Would you say

00:09that's all now water under the bridge, however?

00:13Well, I think that was then and this is now. And I think, you know, when it comes to

00:16diplomacy, it's never easy. You know, diplomacy is often difficult, but you

00:21don't know what you get out of diplomacy until you get to the negotiating table.

00:25So I think at the end of the day here, we're seeing one step here in a

00:29multi-pronged process. And that step, I suspect right now for the Trump

00:32administration, is getting this economic commercial deal signed. And I think they

00:36feel very good about that happening. I think that this deal will be signed

00:39soon, both by President Trump and by President Zelensky. And then from there,

00:44it really is going into next steps here. And that is going to be continuing

00:47shuttle diplomacy. You've seen the Trump administration deploy shuttle

00:51diplomacy throughout this process here. We'll see what takes shape with that, but

00:55the first step is getting this deal signed. I do think you're gonna have a

00:58deal signed here very soon.
