00:00We have a lot of things to do together, and especially fixing, I mean, these crazy wars we have.
00:04It's been a terrible war, it should have ended, and Russia should have stopped it.
00:09October 7th was one of the most savage days in the history of the world.
00:14There's never been anything like that.
00:15We're talking about babies being sliced in half.
00:18You're talking about young children having their heads chopped off.
00:22You can't forget that.
00:23If you want another price, you should put an end to the war in Gaza.
00:27What's your response to that?
00:28Well, they say that all together.
00:30I mean, it's Gaza, it's Russia, it's everything.
00:34I think Gaza's going to come along.
00:36The day after in Gaza to stabilize the land, and we need a political perspective,
00:41and this is why we took this decision on recognition.
00:44Well, thank you very much, everybody.
00:46It's a great honor to be with a friend of mine, Emmanuel Macron, president of France.
00:51He's doing a really good job.
00:53He's fighting hard.
00:54He's fighting on a lot of fronts.
00:55He's helping with regard to the Russia-Ukraine catastrophe, and his words of wisdom mean a lot.
01:03And we've been friends for a long time now, really, from the first term on.
01:08And I appreciate you being here.
01:11It's really nice.
01:13Please.
01:15Thank you, Mr. President.
01:16I'm very happy to have the opportunity to exchange with President Trump and our teams.
01:22And indeed, we have a lot of things to do together, and especially fixing, I mean, these crazy wars we have.
01:27And I just saw the message you issued after your meeting with President Zelensky, and I think this is a very right one.
01:37I mean, if we back, concretely, Ukraine in this situation, given the Russian economy is suffering,
01:48I mean, there is this opportunity of a good future.
01:52It is.
01:53So we will back it.
01:54I think so.
01:54I think so.
01:55They're very enthusiastic in a lot of ways.
01:57It's been a terrible war.
01:59It should have ended.
02:00And Russia should have stopped it.
02:03But they've been three and a half years, and they've gotten not so far.
02:07So we'll see what happens.
02:09But the other side can fight, too.
02:11And they've proven that.
02:12Maybe it's a paper.
02:12It could be that Russia is a paper tiger.
02:15I don't know what they are.
02:16But three and a half years of fighting and killing everybody, of killing 7,000 people a week for nothing.
02:24For nothing.
02:25So it's a very sad situation.
02:27But most of you have seen the recent statement I put out a little while ago.
02:32And I'm glad you got it.
02:33But I feel that way.
02:34I really do feel that way.
02:35Let them get their land back.
02:37Yep.
02:37So we'll see how it all works out.
02:39And in the meantime, I hear France is doing well, and you're doing well.
02:43And he's been my friend.
02:45And we've gotten along on just about every subject there is to get along with, other than on occasion wine.
02:52I say, wouldn't you like to pay a couple of dollars to put the wine into America?
02:57But we've never – we've always treated you good, right?
03:00We will try to fix all these issues.
03:02But we have very good discussions.
03:05And I think peace has an objective everywhere.
03:08Right.
03:08And Ukraine as the Middle East is a very – it's a common objective we have.
03:12So we will work hard on that.
03:13Emmanuel has actually helped me with a couple of the wars.
03:16We settled seven wars.
03:17The biggest disappointment, but I think that will happen eventually, is the Ukraine and Russia situation.
03:24But we've settled – I thought that was going to be the easiest one because of my relationship with Putin.
03:29But unfortunately, that relationship didn't mean anything, unfortunately.
03:33But when I needed some advice and when I needed some help in terms of a country in that part of the world, you were always there.
03:43And you helped me settle some of these seven wars.
03:45I'm very proud of the seven wars.
03:47But you helped me settle them, and I appreciate that.
03:50Thank you very much.
03:51Any questions for the President?
03:53President Trump – President Macron just said that if you want a Nobel Prize, you should put an end to the war in Gaza.
03:59What's your response to that?
04:00Well, they say that all together.
04:02I mean, it's Gaza.
04:03It's Russia.
04:05It's everything.
04:06I think Gaza is going to come along.
04:09We're going to have a very important meeting.
04:11And my next meeting, actually, is going to be very important with leaders in the region.
04:17And we're going to talk about Gaza.
04:19We're going to see if we can do something about it.
04:20We want to stop that.
04:21We want to get our hostages back or their hostages back.
04:24We've gotten all of the American hostages, as you know.
04:28And Alexander, all of them have been back.
04:31Steve Whitcoff has done a great job.
04:34And Marco always and everybody.
04:37I mean, we have – Scott got involved and strongly involved from a financial standpoint.
04:42We're doing some things that are pretty good.
04:46We put Iran out of commission.
04:48Very important.
04:49That was called the bully of the Middle East, and they're at a commission.
04:53Now we're going to have a meeting today.
04:54I think it's going to be a successful meeting with all of the leaders of many of the biggest – I would say the most important countries having to do with Gaza, indirectly and directly.
05:04And that's going to take place just in a little while.
05:06So I'm sure you'll be there, and we could have an outcome very quickly.
05:11What is your opinion of Palestine as a gift to Hamas?
05:16Well, I think it honors Hamas, and you can't do that because of October 7th.
05:21You just can't do that.
05:23But we want our hostages back, and we don't want them back in, you know, ones and twos and take the next two years to do it.
05:29We were the ones that got the hostages back.
05:32And I always said, I told Steve, I told Marco, I was always saying the last hostages are going to be the toughest ones.
05:39But you can't honor them by doing anything like you suggest.
05:44All you can do is say, we want our hostages back, and we want the war to end.
05:49We're going to want it to end.
05:50But you always have to remember, people forget October 7th was one of the most savage days in the history of the world.
05:58There's never been anything like that.
06:00We're talking about babies being sliced in half.
06:02You're talking about young children having their heads chopped off.
06:06You can't forget that.
06:08Would you recognize Palestine into hostages for back?
06:10And just perhaps to make it clear on that, I think it's why yesterday 11 countries did recognize Palestine.
06:18Not as, I mean, it was not a decision taken like that, neither by UK nor by Canada nor by France.
06:28It's just a big change.
06:30Nobody, President Trump is totally right.
06:34Nobody forgets the 7th of October.
06:37I went there a few days after, taking families in my hands.
06:42And we experienced all together these horrific attacks.
06:47And by the way, we lost a lot of French people in these terrorist attacks.
06:53But after almost two years of war, what is the result?
06:57Once again, they killed the top leaders of Hamas.
07:01It works.
07:02This is a great achievement.
07:04But at the same time, you have as many Hamas fighters as you had the first day.
07:09So it doesn't work to dismantle the Hamas.
07:12This is not the right way to proceed.
07:15So we need a full-fledged process.
07:17And we work very hard on the day after.
07:20And I totally share this sequencing.
07:22The release of all our stages, the ceasefire, the resume of humanitarian aid.
07:26The day after in Gaza to stabilize the land.
07:29And we need a political perspective.
07:31And this is why we took this decision on recognition.
07:36Well, I have to say that I'm on the side of Israel.
07:40I've been on the side of Israel, really, my whole life.
07:42And we are going to get a solution.
07:46And it's going to be a solution, hopefully, that's good for everybody.
07:49But it's time to stop.
07:50We're going to have that very important meeting.
07:53I think the meeting we have coming up in the next hour is going to be one of the most important meetings that we'll have here.
08:02And we've had some important meetings.
08:03We've had some great meetings.
08:05And I understand where you are and where other people are, too.
08:10And we just have to get this solved.
08:13We have to get the hostages back.
08:14We want to get the war over.
08:16That's very important.
08:17We're going to end the war, get the hostages back.
08:20And we want them all back.
08:21We don't want to have one, and then we'll give another two in about three months from now.
08:25We've been doing that for a long time.
08:27And in all fairness, we've gotten a lot of hostages back.
08:30But you have 20 hostages, and you have probably 38 bodies, dead bodies.
08:34And the people that I see, and I speak to Israeli families.
08:39I was speaking to American families before, but we got them back.
08:42But I speak to Israeli families, and they want the son who died.
08:47They want their dead son back as much as though he were alive.
08:50And it's an amazing thing to see.
08:53And it's a horrible thing, actually, to witness.
08:55But I've seen it a lot.
08:57So they have 20 hostages.
08:58They have 38 dead bodies.
09:00And we have to have them back.
09:02And we have to have them back immediately.
09:04Thank you very much, everybody.
