00:05Ukraine. Is that going to happen? And were there any other assurances that he made directly to

00:10Zelensky when they met? I'll let the president speak on that. That was a private conversation

00:14between he and President Zelensky. But the meeting was a good meeting and it was a meeting towards

00:19progress. And the president, as he said, repeatedly wants to see this war come to an end. But I'll

00:24let him speak on that specific. And Wyckoff yesterday suggested that there would be more

00:28countries signing on to the Abraham Accords. Is there what's the timeline on that and which

00:32country specifically is the administration looking to have sign on? Well, the president is certainly

00:36hopeful that more countries in the region will sign on to the Abraham Accords. Again, we want to see

00:41a long withstanding endurable peace in the Middle East. And that's the way to do it. And when the

00:47president met with the new president of Syria, that was one of the requests that he made for Syria to

00:51sign on to the Abraham Accords. I don't have a timeline for you, but this administration wants

00:55to see that happen. And our partners in the region should know that. Rachel.
