00:00I'm not going to South Africa for the G20 because I think their policies on the extermination of

00:06people are unacceptable. So I'm not going. So I won't refer to anything having to do with

00:11South Africa. South Africa has behaved extremely badly. But I will say that when you look at the

00:20F-35 and you're asking me, is it the same? I think it's going to be pretty similar. Yeah.

00:24You know, this is a great ally and Israel's a great ally. And I know they'd like you to

00:31get planes of reduc- of reduced caliber. I don't think that makes you too happy.

00:37They've been a great ally. Israel has been a great ally. And we're looking at that exactly right now.

00:43But as far as I'm concerned, I think they are both at a level where they should get top of the line.

00:50Yes, please.

00:50Can I just ask for the Crown Prince, if I could just ask about the direct talks between

00:54the U.S. and the U.S.

00:55That's all right. Steve, one second. Go ahead.

00:57Have you reached an agreement on a U.S.-Saudi defense treaty today? And are you going to bring

01:02up the Abraham Accords in your discussion? I already brought them up.

01:05What did you say? I think I got a positive response. Would you like to respond?

01:09Yeah. So, so, yeah. So, so definitely, we believe, we believe having, having a good

01:14relation with all these new countries, it's a good thing. And we want to be part of the Abraham

01:19Accords. But we want also to be sure that we secure a clear path of two-state solution. And

01:26today, we have a healthy discussion with Mr. President, that we're going to work on that

01:30to be sure that we can prepare the right situation as soon as possible to have that.

01:33I think we're, you know, I don't want to use the word commitment, but we've had a very good talk

01:39on the Abraham Accords. We talked about one state, two states. You know, we talked about a lot of

01:43things in a short period of time. We'll be discussing it further, too. But I think you

01:48have a very good feeling toward the Abraham Accords.

01:49Yes, definitely, Mr. President. We want peace for the Israelis. We want peace for the

01:53Palestinians. We want them to coexist peacefully in the region. And we will do our best to

01:58reach that date. And the defense agreement, have you reached agreement on that?

02:01The President, we pretty much have. The President, for the Crown Prince, if I could just finish.

02:06The President, we have reached agreement on that. Okay.

02:08The Press, I wanted to ask you about the direct talks between the United States and Iran.

02:13Have you been fully briefed on that? And are you concerned at all about how this might impact

02:18Saudi security interests? The President, we are a close ally. We'll be working closely together on that

02:24issue. And we will do our best to help to reach a deal between the rest of America and Iran. And we

02:29believe it's good for Iran's future to have a good deal that will satisfy the region and the world and

02:34the rest of America. So we will do our best to see that they happen.

02:37The President, and by the way, Iran does want to make a deal. I can say I think they very badly

02:43want to make a deal. I am totally open to it. And we're talking to them and we start a process.

02:50But it would be a nice thing to have a deal with Iran. And we could have done it before the war, but

02:55that didn't work out. And something will happen there, I think. But they would very much like,

03:01I mean, they may say something else, but they would very much like to have a deal.

03:05Do we have a timeline?

03:06The Press, you are going to sell 35 F-35 jets.

03:10You are planning, you said you are planning to sell the F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia.

03:15The President, is it part of the security agreement? And how you assess the defense

03:19partnership between Saudi Arabia and the United States? And the question for the President?

03:24The President, I mean, I'm going to, we're going to sell them F-35s. That's the end of the question,

03:29I guess. The Press, is it part of the security agreement or no?

03:31The President, we're going to have, no, we're going to have a deal. They're going to purchase

03:34F-35s. They're buying them from Lockheed. And it's a great plane. We make, by the way,

03:41the best military equipment. You saw that during the Iran little skirmish. We make the best planes,

03:47the best missiles. We make the best defensive missiles. We make the best military equipment in
