00:00across the country. Kristen. First question, whose idea was it to change the next steps
00:06from a trilateral to a bilateral meeting? It was an idea that evolved in the course of the
00:12President's conversations with both President Putin, President Zelensky, and the European
00:16leaders yesterday. And as you saw, Kristen, with all of those European leaders leaving the White
00:22House, including the NATO Secretary General, they all agreed that this is a great first step. And
00:26it's a good thing that these two leaders are going to be sitting down together, and the
00:30President expects that to happen. And how long is Trump willing to wait and operate in good faith
00:35for Putin to actually arrange a meeting before he intervenes? Look, the President has put tremendous
00:41public pressure to bring this war to a close. He's taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India
00:46and other actions as well. He's made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end. And he
00:52has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised, that we should wait another month
00:57before any meeting takes place. The President wants to move, and he wants to bring this war
01:01to an end as quickly as possible.
01:02Just a clarification on something you said earlier about Putin agreeing to the meeting.
01:08The Kremlin seemed to indicate that Putin did not firmly agree to a bilateral. Did he agree
01:13to have a sit-down with just Zelensky on the phone yesterday?
01:16MS. I can assure you that the United States Government and the Trump Administration is working
01:20with both Russia and Ukraine to make that bilateral happen as we speak. Sean.
01:24Hey, if the point is to get everybody out,
