00:00Mr. President, the number of business people that President Putin is bringing along,

00:05is that something that you want to discuss with President Putin at this meeting?

00:09If we make progress, I would discuss it, because that's one of the things that they would like.

00:14They'd like to get a piece of what I've built in terms of the economy.

00:18Just so you know, we were a dead country with our economy.

00:22He wouldn't be interested. He wouldn't have been interested a year ago with the Biden economy.

00:27But he is interested in the Trump economy, because we're doing it.

00:31Wait till you see where those factories start opening up.

00:33We have hundreds of factories all over the country, and that includes auto factories, AI factories, and every other thing.

00:41They're all coming in because they want to beat the tariffs.

00:44Because if they open here, they don't have to pay tariffs.

00:47If they don't open here, they have to pay, in some cases, 200 percent, 300 percent.

00:53I haven't even set some of the tariffs yet.

00:55But I'll be setting tariffs next week and the week after on steel and on, I would say, chips.

01:04Okay.

01:05Chips and semiconductors we'll be setting sometime next week, week after.

01:12What are you looking at? What rate?

01:14We're going to have a rate that is going to be lower at the beginning.

01:17Then that gives them a chance to come in and bill, and very high after a certain period of time.

01:24And if they don't build here, they have to pay a very high tariff, which doesn't work, so they'll come and build.

01:29Mizo, let's startkem.

01:29What are you looking at?

01:30What are you working at?

01:30I don't know.

01:30You're looking at us...

01:35Do we you want to be cutting?

01:38Am I-N-UN-M-Th Г-I-T E- relative?

01:51W-A-N-N-T-C A quarterback...

01:52Yes.
