00:00Is it counterproductive for France to say that they would recognize the Palestinian state? Macron said that yesterday.
00:07Look, he's a different kind of a guy. He's okay. He's a team player, pretty much.
00:14But here's the good news. What he says doesn't matter.
00:18It's not going to change it, isn't it?
00:21Well, he made a statement. France, Macron.
00:27His statement doesn't carry any weight. He's a very good guy. I like him.
00:31But that statement doesn't carry weight.
00:33How would you do a trade deal with the EU?
00:36I would say that we have a 50-50 chance, maybe less than that, but a 50-50 chance of making a deal with the EU.
00:46And it'll be a deal where they have to buy down their tariffs because they're right now at 30 percent.
00:52And they'll have to buy them down, maybe. Or they could leave them the way they are.
00:56But they want to make a deal very badly. I would have said we have a 25 percent chance with Japan.
01:02And they kept coming back, and we made a deal. And the deal is — don't forget, Japan is putting up $550 billion.
01:08That's a lot of money. And also paying tariffs.
01:13The biggest part of the Japan deal — and maybe we get this with the EU, maybe we don't — is that we have the right to go in and trade.
01:20We have the right — they've totally opened Japan to the — just to the U.S.
01:24That's, to me, the biggest part of the deal.
01:26Well, that was higher, beautiful stuff.
01:28You said repeatedly you would like to see further nuclear arms reduction between the United States and Russia.
01:34I would like to see that.
01:35But the EU started pretty expiring in about six months, and it cannot be legally expanded.
01:41That's a problem — that's a problem for the world.
01:45It's a problem for the world.
01:47You know, we have restrictions, and they have restrictions, as you know, on nuclear.
01:53That's not an agreement you want expiring.
01:56We're starting to work on that.
01:58But that is a — that is a big problem for the world.
02:01When you take off nuclear restrictions, that's a big problem for the world.
02:05We're not perfect.
02:06We're perfect.
02:07We're perfect.
02:12I think that Jerome Powell — I think we had a very good meeting.
02:16Forgetting about the building.
02:17That's out of control, it's called that.
02:19But I think we had a very good meeting on interest rates.
02:22And he said to me — and I don't know if he's going to say this on Thursday or whenever he speaks,
02:27but he said to me very strongly, the country is doing well.
02:32He said, congratulations, the country is doing really well.
02:37And I got that to mean that I think he's going to start recommending lower rates.
02:41Because of that conversation?
02:43How do you think that the Supreme Court really is doing well?
02:46How do you think that —
02:47Record business.
02:48Did you speak to Netanyahu?
02:49Thank you, Mr. President.
02:51How do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling that benefited you on presidential immunity
02:58would apply to former President Barack Obama and what you're accusing him of doing?
03:03It probably helps him a lot.
03:06Probably helps him a lot, the immunity ruling.
03:09But it doesn't help the people around him at all.
