US President Donald Trump said that while Ukraine could still win its war against Russia, he doesn’t believe it will. Speaking to reporters, Trump said, 'They could still win it. I don’t think they will,' ahead of his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest.
00:00On the war that you haven't solved yet, the Ukraine-Russia situation, have you now locked in a meeting?
00:06And can you explain, just a few weeks ago, and I know you said that Ukraine could possibly win the war and territory, but now it's...
00:14Well, they could. They could still win it. I don't think they will, but they could still win it.
00:18I never said they would win it. I said they could win. Anything can happen.
00:21You know, war is a very strange thing. A lot of bad things happen, a lot of good things happen.
00:26If you look at the Middle East, I would say prior to us hitting Iran so hard, we could have never made that deal because you would have had a dark cloud over the Middle East when we took out their nuclear capability, which was one of the great military maneuvers of all time.
00:42It was flawless. You saw that. Those magnificent B2s.
00:45I mean, that was a flawless move that was done by some very talented people headed up by Pete and everybody else and our great generals and general in particular, Raisin Cain.
00:58We did a great job. And when that happened, everything was different and we were able to get a deal.
01:05If we didn't do that, if it wasn't, you know, they wanted to do that for 22 years, Mr. Prime Minister.
01:10For 22 years, I had the pilots here, the B2 pilots, and they came to the Oval Office and I thought they deserved it.
01:16They flew 37 hours back and forth.
01:20We had 52 tankers up there. We had a lot of planes up there with them, but they were the primary plane.
01:25But we had a lot of planes, F-22s and F-35s and F-6s.
01:29We had a lot of planes, but we had 52 tankers.
01:32Can you believe that? And it was just like a flawless mission.
01:35And when when it was finished, the Middle East just opened up.
01:40Amazing. And they've wanted to do it for 22 years.
01:42The pilots came up to me. They said, you know, for 22 years, we practiced this maneuver three times a year for 22 years.
01:49Our predecessors and us. These are now young pilots, you know, but they're they're they're older now.
01:56Predecessors practiced it. And they said we never had a president that would let us do it.
02:01But I let him do it. And it totally opened up the Middle East.
02:05It took the cloud over the we had a dark cloud over the Middle East.
02:09And now it's all I mean, we have a little situation relatively with Hamas.
02:14And that will be taken care of very quickly if they don't straighten it out themselves, because you're in violation of their agreement.
02:21Thank you, Mr. President.
02:28On rare earth minerals, Australia is one of the only places in the world that processes rare earth minerals.
02:34Could there be an agreement? China has 90 percent of the processing.
02:37Could there be an agreement over processing rare earth minerals with Australia?
02:40Sure. Yes. That's what we're doing. That's part of it's part of the agreement.
02:45Part of the agreement.
02:47Can you say. Go ahead, please.
02:50Oh, sir. Thank you, sir. Just go. Sorry.
02:52Yeah. On a follow up on Taiwan, there are reports that you will come up or China is pressuring you to not support independence for Taiwan in exchange for a trade deal.
03:00Well, I'm not going to talk about that. What I'll talk about you and I will have that discussion in a couple of weeks when I'm in South Korea with President Xi.
03:09We're going to be talking about a lot of things. I assume that's going to be one of the things, but I'm not going to talk about that.
03:14How do you agree?
03:15We're going to be talking about a lot of things, but it's going to come up pick something.
03:21Okay.
03:21We're going to be talking about current elements, but we're going to be talking about a process.
03:23We're going to be talking about everything we're going to do next week.
03:26So we're telling you, the process is going to be floating to следующce and we're going to be there for the long time.
03:29It's going to be a breakdown.
03:30We're going to work in a Ergebnis.
03:33We're going to have a moment to be walking with us.
03:40Let's go.
03:41Now.
03:42It's something we're going to be doingᅒ opposite cameras, right?
