00:00Mr. President, the meeting with Vladimir Putin is canceled or put on hold.

00:06Do you know what happened there?

00:08And does that affect your decision whether it upset tomahawks?

00:11No, no, I don't want to have a wasted meeting.

00:14I don't want to have a waste of time, so I'll see what happens.

00:17But we did all of these great deals, great peace deals.

00:22They're all peace deals, agreements, solid agreements, every one of them, but this one.

00:26And I said, go to the line, go to the line of battle, the battlefield lines,

00:33and you pull back and you go home and everybody takes some time off

00:37because you've got two countries that are killing each other.

00:40Two countries are losing 5,000 to 7,000 soldiers a week.

00:44So we'll see what happens. We haven't made a determination.

00:47And what is Putin asking for? Do you still see a chance for a ceasefire?

00:53And what is Putin asking for?

00:55I do. It's a vicious, look, it's a vicious war.

00:59It doesn't really affect us. We sell equipment to them.

01:01We sell equipment to NATO, and NATO gives it to Ukraine,

01:05but we don't pay anything anymore. Biden spent $350 billion.

01:09The war would have never happened if I were president.

01:12Would have never, not even a million years.

01:14And Putin knows that too. Would have never happened.

01:17But it did happen, and I came in, and I have to see if I can put it out.

01:21But it doesn't affect us, because we're not losing soldiers there.

01:25Although, when I first came in, that could have ended up.

01:29It's not going to happen.

01:30But it could have ended up in World War III.

01:32That was really out of control.

01:35So now it's, they're shooting and they're killing people.

01:38And I think Putin wants it to end,

01:41and I think Zelensky wants it to end,

01:43and I think it's going to end.

01:44Do you want to meet with him before you leave for Asia on Friday?

01:46No, I will, actually. I'd love to meet with him.

01:49I just want them to open up.
