00:01Thanks, Caroline.

00:02Since the President often says that this war would not have started if he were in office

00:06and Putin confirmed that.

00:08It's true.

00:09Do you accept that as true?

00:11Probably.

00:12The European leaders do.

00:13And President Putin himself said that, by the way.

00:15He did say that.

00:16The question I have, though, is what is the President going to do to ensure that these

00:21security guarantees last beyond him into the time when he is no longer President?

00:27And does that have to involve Congress at all?

00:29Well, he understands the need for that, which he spoke to yesterday.

00:32And what's he going to do?

00:34It's why he's engaging in so many talks and so many conversations with both sides of this

00:39war with our European allies.

00:41It's why, on the way home from Anchorage, Alaska, very late at night, when I know many of you

00:46on the press plane were sleeping and many staff were sleeping, the President himself was still

00:57ensure a lasting peace and bring this conflict to an end.

01:00He has expended an incredible amount of time, energy, and effort into bringing this war to

01:05an end, and he remains determined to do that.

01:07Go ahead.

01:08Also, can I ask you about the D-

01:09Go ahead.

01:10Go ahead.

01:11Thank you, Carolyn.
