00:00Thank you, President. Thank you. Thank you, President Trump.

00:03The United States has already given hundreds of billions of dollars to this war effort in Ukraine.

00:11At best, it is a stalemate, and the killing continues.

00:15So, President Trump, how much more is the United States willing to give Ukraine?

00:19And, President Zelensky, how much more do you want?

00:22Well, I'll start off just by saying we're not giving anything now. We're selling weapons.

00:27This is something before, I guess, the number is well over $300 billion.

00:32That was under Joe Biden, a corrupt politician, not a smart man. Never was.

00:40By the way, go back 40 years. He was not a smart man 40 years ago either.

00:44But now he's in particular bad.

00:46This was done by a corrupt administration that shouldn't have been in.

00:50And frankly, if the right results of the election were given, if I were president,

00:56this war would have never taken place, and he would have been very happy

00:59because he would have liked to have seen.

01:01I mean, they went through hell. He went through hell.

01:04This war would have never happened.

01:06And the people that were killed, a couple of million people,

01:09a lot of people with soldiers and everything else,

01:11and the people that have been displaced and forced into other areas

01:14and other countries because of what's happened, none of that would have happened.

01:17And I'm just saying that he was a horrible president.

01:23Whether it was the borders or this, he was just a horrible, corrupt president.

01:28Mr. President, I can't thank you so much.

01:33So, first of all, we have the possibility now to buy weapons from the United States.

01:38We are thankful for this program and this opportunity.

01:41We are thankful for Europe.

01:42They pay for this, and through NATO program, for example, Pearl and et cetera,

01:47we have some programs where we can have some money to finance this.

01:51And this is a part, I think.

01:53It's not a part for the war and to defend us.

01:58It also will be a part for security guarantees to strengthen our army,

02:03to rearm Ukrainian army.

02:05This is very, very important.

02:07And it depends how much money we need to rearm.

02:11For example, the question of air defense, we spoke about it with President Trump,

02:15and I'm happy that we have now military decisions and we work on it with production, American production.

02:21Nobody in Europe has so many air defense like Patriots, for example.

02:26We need it very much.

02:28And this is also about defending.

02:30President Trump, can I ask one of the other questions?

02:33You know, I think the good news, we make the best military equipment in the world by far.

02:37You mentioned the Patriots.

02:38How good are they?

02:39Yeah, systems.

02:39We have systems.

02:41They're literally 100% foolproof.

02:45And it's really like shooting two bullets.

02:47You know, two bullets hitting each other in the air in a space like this.

02:50A chance, 100%.

02:52It's 99 to 100%.

02:54So we sell the equipment to NATO.

02:59And NATO does what – I don't know what the arrangement is that you have with the – but I know that they want you to have the equipment.

03:06And we're getting the best equipment in the world.

03:08But they pay us for the equipment.

03:10Under Biden, it was just crazy what was going on.

03:14I believe the number is over 300.

03:16I think it could be $350 billion worth of equipment and money and everything else.

03:21And we've made more progress in settling this war in the last two months than they made in four years.

03:27This should have been settled a long time ago, but it should have never happened.

03:30Yeah, please.
