00:00We can see the finish line, but both of them have to get there.
00:02We're going to do everything we can to help them get there, but they have to ultimately say yes.
00:05Mr. President, I have a long meeting, Mr. President.
00:08The proposal that you put on the table, it's a 30-day ceasefire proposal.
00:11Your national security team presented it to both Ukraine and Russia.
00:15Two months ago, Ukraine agreed to that ceasefire proposal immediately.
00:20Russia has not.
00:21And my question is, is Russia the obstacle to peace based upon that, just getting to that 30-day ceasefire?
00:28I don't think so.
00:29So I think that they both want peace right now.
00:31They're ready to do something.
00:33We'll see what happens.
00:34Complicated, very complicated.
00:36But I think they are both very much looking to make a deal.
00:40Marco, what would you say?
00:42Well, first of all, what was put before our partners was options to discuss about things that it would take to end a war.
00:48This war is endable.
00:49Both sides just have to agree to it.
00:51We've shown them a pathway forward.
00:52We've discussed those ideas.
00:53There was a good meeting yesterday.
00:54There will be good meetings over the weekend.
00:56We've shown them the finish line.
00:57We need both of them to say yes.
00:58But what happened last night with those missile strikes should remind everybody of why this war needs to end.
01:03It's horrible, those missiles landed.
01:04What's even worse is there are today people that were alive yesterday that are not alive today because this war continues.
01:10And the president wants to stop it.
01:12And everyone should be thanking the president for being a peacemaker and trying to save lives.
01:15That's what we're trying to do here.
01:16It's not our war we didn't start it, as you know.
01:19But we're trying to end the dying.
01:21We're trying to end the destruction.
01:23And we've shown the path forward.
01:25We can see the finish line.
01:27But both of them have to get there.
01:28We're going to do everything we can to help them get there.
01:30But they have to ultimately say yes.
01:31But we are using a lot of pressure on both.
01:33You know, if you think we're just in there because we're nice people, then we are nice people.
01:37But we're using a lot of pressure on both.
01:39What concessions, Mr. President, and to your national security team, what concessions has Russia offered up thus far to get to the point where you're closer to peace?
01:50Stopping the war.
01:52Stopping taking the whole country.
01:55Pretty big concession.
01:57Mr. President, if you are going to take down the tariffs, what do you want Norway to buy more from the U.S.?
02:08To buy more?
02:09Well, you don't need snow.
02:12You don't need skis.
02:13You don't need ski champions either, right?
02:15You have a lot of them.
02:17We just want to keep the relationship the way it is.
02:21We've had a great relationship.
02:23I think now maybe closer than ever.
02:25But we've had a great relationship with Norway.
02:27I think just keep it the way it is.
02:29You can't do better.
02:30Really?
02:31Not even by, say, five minutes?
02:33Well, if they want to give us some additional concessions, that's okay.
02:36You can't do much better.
02:37Yes, yes.
02:38Mr. President, you've had a long meeting with Norway today.
02:41You said that Norway is doing a lot of things right.
02:44But on the Ukraine, if I can ask both you and the Prime Minister, did you find common ground today on Ukraine and the peace plan?
02:51Totally.
02:51It's totally common ground today.
02:53The Prime Minister can speak about it.
02:55But I can just say he wants to see people stop dying more than anything else.
03:01And he'd like to see it end.
03:02He's going to help us end it.
