00:00You have a unique and strong relationship with President Trump.
00:03Could you comment on how you would leverage that deep personal relationship with leadership in India
00:08to help bring the conflict in Ukraine to an end?
00:13Thank you for the question, Senator.
00:15Our President has a deep friendship with Prime Minister Modi, and that is something that is unique.
00:21In fact, if you have noticed, when he has gone after other nations,
00:25he tends to go after their leaders for putting us in that position and for the United States imposing those tariffs.
00:31When the President has been critical of India, he has gone out of his way to compliment Prime Minister Modi.
00:37They have an incredible relationship. I've been with him in the same room.
00:42We're not that far apart on a deal already on these tariffs.
00:46To your point, getting India to stop buying Russian oil is a top priority for this administration.
00:51Bringing peace around the world is a top priority to this administration.
00:55This President has engaged in trying to resolve wars and conflicts all over the world.
01:00From Africa to the Middle East to Ukraine and even Southeast Asia.
01:06So I agree with you wholeheartedly.
01:09I think the time will arrive upon us in the next few weeks and next few months.
