Transcript
00:00Well, there's a very good prospect that they will, and we haven't determined where, but we had some very good talks with President Putin today, and there's a very good chance that we could be ending the, ending the round, ending the end of that road. That road was long and continues to be long, but there's a good chance that there will be a meeting very soon.
00:24Excuse me?
00:25How close do you think you are to some kind of deal?
00:27Well, look, I don't want to say. I've been disappointed before with this one.
00:32What was the breakthrough today? Did Vladimir Putin make some kind of concession that he hasn't been willing to make before?
00:38I don't call it a breakthrough. I mean, we've been working on this a long time. There are thousands of young people dying, mostly soldiers, but also, you know, missiles being hit into Kiev and other places.
00:49But in terms of soldiers, I think Russia's lost over 20,000 since the beginning of the year. 20,000. And I guess the estimate for Ukraine is about 9,000. It's a terrible situation. We want to get it stopped.
01:05You know, we don't have American soldiers there, but I feel I have an obligation to get it stopped. This was not my war. This war would have never started. Not even a chance. And it didn't start for four years. It went four years and didn't start.
01:19But this is Biden's war. This was was on his watch. And, you know, it's funny. We had no land was taken from Trump. It was taken from Bush. It was taken from Biden.
01:31Biden, the whole thing they would take from Biden. It weren't for us. But it was and it was taken by Obama. Take a look at what was taken with all of the land that was taken. Nothing was taken by Russia from us. Not one ounce of land was taken.
01:47I'm here to get the thing over with. It would have never started if I were president. And we're here to get it stopped and get the death stopped. But we've made a lot of progress. And as you know, we put a 50 percent tariff on India on oil. They're the second largest. They're very close to China in terms of the purchase of oil from Russia. But so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. But we've had very productive talks today. Yes, ma'am.
