00:00Doctor, Poland's foreign minister has messaged President Trump on social media today saying

00:07Putin is mocking your peace efforts, something that he's come up with.

00:12Do you agree with the sentiments? Because you just touched on it there.

00:17We saw that phone call between President Putin and President Trump

00:22and then this large-scale drone attack on Kyiv. Is that sentiment correct?

00:28Not necessarily. It is defying and it is challenging the presidency and the power of the United States

00:36represented by Donald J. Trump today. So I wouldn't say that they are making fun or I can't remember

00:43what the exact word that he used, but it is more challenging to the United States. Putin certainly

00:50is challenging the United States today, certainly challenging the will of President Trump, certainly

00:56challenging how far America is willing to go and betting on the fact that America will

01:02not sustain its support to Ukraine. That's what he is betting on. I don't think that's going

01:09to work out for Putin.
