00:00Will Russia face any consequences if Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop the war after your meeting on Friday?
00:08Yes, they will.
00:09What will the consequences be?
00:10There will be consequences.
00:11Sanctions, tariffs?
00:12There will be, I don't have to say, there will be very severe consequences, yes.
00:16How were your calls this morning with European leaders, and was it your call not to invite President Zelensky to your meeting with Putin?
00:23No, just the opposite.
00:24No, no.
00:25We had a very good call.
00:26He was on the call.
00:27President Zelensky was on the call.
00:30I would rate it a 10, you know, very, very friendly.
00:34I know the leaders because I was at NATO, as you know.
00:37I took it from 2% to 5%.
00:392% that wasn't paid, 5% that is paid, which is trillions of dollars in defense capability.
00:48No, it was always going to be, I was going to meet with President Putin, and then after that I'm going to call the leaders and President Zelensky.
00:56I'm going to call President Zelensky, and then I'll call, probably in that order, the leaders.
01:00There's a very good chance that we're going to have a second meeting, which will be more productive than the first, because the first is I'm going to find out where we are and what we're doing.
01:09Again, this is Biden's war.
01:11This isn't my war.
01:12He got us into this thing, and it should have never happened.
01:15This war would have never happened if I were President.
01:18But it is what it is, and I'm here to fix it, and I'm here to stop 6,000, 7,000 people last week.
01:247,213 people last week were killed, mostly soldiers.
01:29But missiles being lobbed into towns don't exactly help either, but mostly soldiers.
01:35And Ukrainian and Russian, they're not American soldiers, but, you know, if we can save a lot of lives, it would be a great thing.
01:41I've done five, I've stopped five wars in the last six months, and on top of that, we wiped out the nuclear capability of Iran, obliterated it.
01:51It turned out to be a correct word, by the way, because, you know, some of the press said, well, maybe it wasn't obliteration.
01:57It was obliteration.
02:00And we're going to meet with, I would say, the second meeting.
02:05If the first one goes okay, we'll have a quick second one.
02:09I would like to do it almost immediately, and we'll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they'd like to have me there.
02:20And that would be a meeting where maybe it could be absolutely work.
02:24But the first meeting will not work that out.
02:26Certain great things can be gained in the first.
02:28It's going to be a very important meeting.
02:30But it's setting the table for the second meeting.
02:33I think the second meeting, if the second meeting takes place, now there may be no second meeting, because if I feel that it's not appropriate to have it,
02:43because I didn't get the answers that we have to have, then we're not going to have a second meeting.
02:46There's a new reporting that the Russians have hacked into some computer systems that manage U.S. federal court documents.
02:54I wonder if you've seen this reporting and if you plan to bring it up with Putin when you see him.
02:58I guess I could.
02:58Are you surprised?
03:00You know, are you surprised?
03:01They hack in.
03:02That's what they do.
03:03They're good at it.
03:03We're good at it.
03:05We're actually better at it.
03:06But no, I have heard about it.
03:09I've heard about it.
