00:00Jackie.
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
00:51awake at 2 o'clock in the morning talking to European leaders and NATO about how we can
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.
