Transcript

00:00Great job. That's a really great job. We've been very successful in settling wars. You have India,

00:06Pakistan. You have Rwanda and the Congo. That was going on for 30 years. India, by the way,

00:12and Pakistan would have been a nuclear war within another week, the way that was going. That was

00:16going very badly. And we did that through trade. I said, we're not going to talk to you about trade

00:21unless you get this thing settled. And they did. And they were both great, great leaders.

00:24And they were great. But Rwanda and the Congo, that was going on for 30 years. And at least 7

00:33million people killed and killed with a lot of pretty rough weapons like machetes, heads chopped

00:41off, going on for many years. You couldn't even get near the countries. Nobody wanted to get near

00:47so frightening. And we got that one solved. Serbia, Kosovo, got that solved. That was going to be

00:55one that was going to happen. And again, that was something I use. I use trade for a lot of things,

01:01but it's great for settling wars. That was really very important. We're working. Marca is working

01:06very hard with everybody here on the strip, the Gaza Strip. I call it the Gaza Strip, one of the worst

01:14real estate deals ever made. They gave up the oceanfront property, one of the worst deals ever

01:20made. But it was supposed to bring peace. And it didn't bring peace. It brought the opposite. But

01:25we're doing pretty well in Gaza. Steve Whitcoff is here. And I think we could have something fairly

01:30soon to talk about. And we solved another one. One that we just seem to have, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

01:41It looks like that's going to come to a conclusion, successful conclusion. We worked on Egypt with

01:50a next door neighbor who is a good neighbor. They're friends of mine, but they happened to build a dam

01:55which closed up water going into a thing called the Nile. I think if I'm Egypt, I want to have water

02:03in the Nile. And we're working on that one. It's a problem, but it's going to get solved. They built

02:10one of the biggest dams in the world, a little bit outside of Egypt. You know about that? You've

02:15been hearing about that one. And that turned out to be a big problem. I don't know. I think the United

02:21States funded the dam. I don't know why they didn't solve the problem before they built the dam.

02:26But it's nice when the Nile River has water. They, you know, it's a very important source of income

02:31in life. It's the life of Egypt. And to take that away is pretty incredible. But we think

02:38we're going to have that solved very quickly. So we do.
