President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that corruption in Ukraine is blocking progress in negotiations, arguing that Kyiv’s internal problems have slowed any chance of advancing talks with Russia. He also confirmed that developer Steve Witkoff will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin next week, calling it a potential opening for dialogue as the U.S. continues operations in the Caribbean. Trump repeatedly emphasized that both Moscow and Kyiv want the war to end, while criticizing Ukraine’s leadership and describing the conflict’s death toll as “unacceptable.” #trump #US #russiaukrainewar #apt
00:00We're in a very nice airplane, but it's rocky.
00:03Any questions?
00:05We had some great economic numbers come out.
00:09As you know, we're doing very well economically.
00:12A lot of factories are being built all over the country and all of that,
00:15but the very strong numbers came down.
00:17Go ahead.
00:18Can you give us an update on what took this in South Florida today
00:21and these talks between the U.S. and the Marines?
00:23We're going along.
00:24We're going along well.
00:25We want to stop people from being killed.
00:28It doesn't have much to do with us,
00:30and I'd like to see if we can save a lot of souls,
00:32a lot of people have been killed.
00:34Last month we had 27,000 people killed,
00:37and that was a ridiculous one that should have never happened,
00:39but it would have never happened to a person.
00:41How have you spoken with Julio and their bosses?
00:43I have, yeah, I've spoken to them.
00:45They're doing well.
00:47Ukraine's got some difficult little problems,
00:51some difficult problems,
00:53but I think Russia would like to see it end,
00:57and I think Ukraine,
00:58and I know Ukraine would like to see it end.
01:00You said that Ukraine has a little problem.
01:02We have a corruption situation going on,
01:04which is not helpful.
01:06Is that a meeting with these talks?
01:08I said it was going on for three years, right?
01:10Can I say it?
01:11For three years I said it.
01:12I was way ahead of schedule,
01:14but I think that there's a good chance we can make a deal.
01:19Mr. President, on Venezuela,
01:20can you tell us more about why the airspace above Venezuela should be considered?
01:25Because we consider Venezuela to be not a very friendly country.
01:28They said millions of people, really,
01:30and probably a number in excess of that,
01:34and a lot of those people shouldn't be in our country,
01:37from jails, from gangs, from drug dealers.
01:41All of the people that came into our country shouldn't have been in our country.
01:44We'll see a lot of problems.
01:46And drugs.
01:48Does your warning mean that an air strength is imminent,
01:51or should we not read it that way?
01:53We don't read anything into it.
01:54When you were told that you had a phone call with Maduro, did you?
01:58I don't want to comment on if the answer is yes.
02:00And can you tell us a little bit about it?
02:02No, I can't do that.
02:03Mr. President, would you say it went well?
02:04Would you say it went well?
02:05Would you say it went well?
02:06I would say it went well.
02:09Manly.
02:10I don't know.
02:11Can you talk a little bit about the strikes and the controversy around the secondary defense keep being said?
02:17I don't know anything about it.
02:19He said he did not say that, and I believe it.
02:22You don't know if there was a second strike to kill the two men?
02:26He said he didn't do it.
02:28He said he never said that.
02:29Would you be okay with that if he did?
02:31He said he didn't do it, so I don't have to make that decision.
02:33What are you doing to the public?
02:34You made it so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the U.S.
02:37Right.
02:38Can you explain more about why you've been pardoned a notorious drug trafficker?
02:42Well, I don't know who you're talking about.
02:44Juan Romano, who you're handling it?
02:46Well, I was told, I was asked by Honduras, many of the people of Honduras, they said it was a Biden set-up.
02:52How do we Biden do it?
02:54But it was the people that surround the Resolute Desk, surround Biden.
03:00Mike, when he was there, which was about the very little time.
03:04And the people of Honduras really thought he was set-up, and it was a terrible thing.
03:09He was the president of the country.
03:11And they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country.
03:15And they said it was a Mike administration set-up.
03:18And I looked at the facts, and I agreed with them.
03:21What happened is that you shared that he was set-up, and that he wasn't?
03:24Well, you think a lot.
03:25I mean, they could say that you take any country you want, and somebody sells drugs in that country.
03:30That doesn't mean you arrest the president or put him in jail for the rest of this country.
03:34Mr. President, can I just clarify, even for you?
03:36And that includes this country, okay?
03:38To be honest.
03:39I mean, if somebody does something wrong, you put the president of the country in jail.
03:43And they said it was a Biden set-up.
03:45It was a Biden administration set-up.
03:47And you have a big race going on this week, next week.
03:52I think it's going to be a very important race.
03:55It's going to be interesting to see Honduras.
03:57That's what you're talking about, right?
03:58Correct, yes.
03:59Mr. President, I think it's a case to be a point of Moscow, and you've approached him, which is such an opinion.
04:06Well, what is the second party of your question?
04:09The end of the election, like, two years later, and I'm speaking to you.
04:14No, I don't have a deadline.
04:15I have a deadline when the war is over.
04:17And hopefully the war is going to be over.
04:2027,000 people come last week.
04:2227,000 over the last three or four weeks.
04:2627,000 people come last week.
04:28That war should end.
04:30Just for clarity, if there were a second strike that killed people, even in the first strike, are you thinking that would be a deal?
04:41I don't know that that happened.
04:43And Pete said he did not want them.
04:46He didn't even know what people were talking about.
04:48So I'll look into it.
04:51But no, I wouldn't have wanted a second strike.
04:54The first strike was very lethal in his mind, and if there were two people around.
04:59But Pete said that didn't happen.
05:01Does that make you serious?
05:02I have great confidence.
05:03Do you think it was a second strike?
05:04I don't know.
05:05I'm going to find out about them.
05:07But Pete said he did not order the death of those two men.
05:10Do you have any concerns about how those war strikes have been carried out at all?
05:14Very little.
05:15Because you can see the boats.
05:16You can see the drugs in the boats.
05:18And each boat is responsible for killing 25,000 Americans.
05:23And they're doing an amazing job.
05:26And you know, we're getting, just look at the numbers.
05:29The amount of drugs coming into our country by sea is infinitesimal compared to what it was just a few months ago.
05:38And each boat, think of this, each boat, on average, is responsible for the death of 25,000 Americans.
05:46On immigration, your administration made a lot of moves on the front the last few days after we know that Afghan National is the suspected shooter of these national guards.
05:57Yeah.
05:58People that shouldn't be in our country on Israel.
06:00So you announced that asylum.
06:02And that includes Somalians and that includes plenty of others.
06:05How long does your administration have been to pause asylum into the U.S.?
06:09I think a long time.
06:10Can you give any kind of time?
06:12We don't want them.
06:13We don't want those people.
06:14We have enough problems.
06:15We don't want those people.
06:16Is that a year?
06:17Two years?
06:18No time limit.
06:19But it could be a long time.
06:22We don't want those people.
06:23You understand that?
06:24I understand.
06:25You understand that?
06:26I understand.
06:27Who are you with?
06:28I understand.
06:29I understand.
06:30Great.
06:31Let me just say something.
06:32We don't want those people.
06:33Does that make sense?
06:34Yeah.
06:35You know why we don't want them?
06:36Because many of them are no good and they shouldn't be in our country.
06:39What do you mean by those people?
06:41People from different countries that are not friendly to us and countries that are out of
06:46control of themselves.
06:47Countries like Somalia that have virtually no government, no military, no bullying.
06:52All they do is go around killing each other.
06:54They come into our country and tell us how to run our country.
06:57We don't want them.
06:58What are you talking about?
06:59Do you know how many countries run?
07:00We've got to talk up.
07:02She said how many countries?
07:04Is there a list?
07:06Well, I guess we gave you 19, right?
07:08Okay.
07:09That's probably more than that.
07:10Is that what you mean?
07:11What do you mean third world countries those 19?
07:13No.
07:14I don't think they're all third world, but in many cases they are third world.
07:18They're not good countries.
07:20They're very crime-related countries.
07:22They're countries that don't do a good job.
07:24They're countries that don't register from the standpoint of success.
07:28And we frankly don't need their people coming into our country telling us what to do.
07:33And you're talking about DNA?
07:34I'm talking about like Somalia where you have a congressman goes around telling everybody
07:38about our concentration and yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother.
07:44Well, if that's true, she shouldn't be a congressman and we should throw the hell out of our country.
07:49Yeah.
07:50And in that state coast you mentioned Tim Walls and you called him what many Americans do
07:54find it if it's more retarded.
07:56Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walls retarded?
07:58Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him.
08:00Absolutely.
08:01He's wrong.
08:02Do you have a problem with him?
08:04You know what?
08:05I think there's something wrong with him.
08:07Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into the state
08:11and give billions of dollars out to Somalia.
08:14We give billions of dollars to Somalia.
08:17It's not even a country because it doesn't function like a country.
08:20It's got a name but it doesn't function like a country.
08:23Yeah, there's something wrong with Walls.
08:25Mr. President, you said that you might denaturalize American businesses.
08:30You mean people that are in here that shouldn't be here?
08:33Or that became Americans?
08:34Well, we'll see.
08:35I mean, yeah, we have criminals that came into our country and they would naturalize maybe
08:41through a fight with somebody that didn't know what they were doing.
08:45If I have the power to do it, I'm not sure that I do, but if I do, I would denaturalize
08:49them.
08:50Absolutely.
08:51Do you have a question here?
08:53What do you mean by reverse migration?
08:56It means get people out that are in our country.
08:59Get them out of here.
09:00I want to get them out.
09:01We got a lot of people in our country that shouldn't be here.
09:04And they came in through Biden.
09:05And he was the worst president in the history of our country.
09:08But the single biggest thing he did was allow the worst, allow millions of people into
09:15our country that shouldn't be here.
09:18Drug dealers, prisons were opened up and allowed to come into our country.
09:22You take a look at the people that were allowed to come into our country.
09:25We're paying a big price for it.
09:27And we will for years to come, including the recent killer of two wonderful National Guards
09:34people.
09:35And I'll tell you what, that animal should not have been allowed to come into our country.
09:40Thank you very much, everybody.
09:42I have spoken to both families.
09:47Well, I mean, I can give you an update.
09:50They're devastated.
09:51Does that make sense to you?
09:52They're devastated.
09:53Can you give us an update on Andrew?
09:55Well, as you know, the one is no longer with us.
09:58And Andrew is fighting for his life.
10:02And his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people.
10:07And they're praying and they want everybody to pray for Andrew.
10:11And he has a chance to make it.
10:13But he's, I mean, his mother and father, they were so unbelievable.
10:19They were so positive.
10:20From West Virginia.
10:21Great state.
10:22I spoke with Sarah's parents too.
10:25And the only thing I can say, they were devastated.
10:29They can't even believe it.
10:30They can't even believe it.
10:31It could happen.
10:32It's absolutely insane.
10:33Of course, those are children.
10:34Do you play throwing elections to the White House?
10:36Do you play?
10:37Yeah, I do.
10:38I do.
10:39I've already suggested it.
10:40I said, when you're ready, that's a tough thing.
10:45Come to the White House.
10:46We're going to honor Sarah.
10:48And likewise, with Andrew, recover or not, we're going to honor Sarah.
10:53I just have one more question about White Cough.
10:54Because you mentioned, and this was asked previously, do you, can you tell us what day
10:58White Cough is going to be?
11:00And then on that, is that meeting?
11:02Sometime next week.
11:03Okay.
11:04Well, is it early next week?
11:05Late next week.
11:06Sometime next week.
11:07Is it unhealthy or makes it so hard to somebody?
11:10Yeah.
11:11You know, one of the reasons that healthcare can work is because of what I just did with
11:15Favorite Nations.
11:16You're going to have drug prices coming down 500, 600, 700% because of me.
11:22In other words, we're going to have the lowest drug prices tied for the lowest drug prices
11:27anywhere in the world.
11:28It's called Favorite Nations.
11:30And you don't talk about it.
11:33It's probably the biggest thing to happen in medicine in the last hundred years.
11:38And it can have a huge impact, positive impact, on pricing for healthcare.
11:43Are you any closer on that?
11:44What about a second base thing?
11:45I'm picking a new venture.
11:47Are you any closer on that right now?
11:49I know who I'm going to pick.
11:50Tell me Kevin.
11:51I'm telling you.
11:53We'll be announcing it.
11:54Thank you very much, everybody.
11:57This is a rocky plan.
11:58We're going to get out of here before something happens.
12:01But they asked about my MRI.
12:03I memorized a very —
12:05Governor Walz asked you to release the MRI.
12:08Will you tell us what it was for?
12:10Governor Walz?
12:11You mean the incompetent governor?
12:13So if they want to release it, it's okay for me to release it.
12:16It's perfect.
12:17What was the problem?
12:18It's like my phone call.
12:20I got impeached.
12:21It's absolutely perfect.
12:22So if you want to hear about it or if you want to release it, do you want to have it released?
12:26Yes, please.
12:27You know what they were looking at?
12:28What, releasing?
12:29No, no, no.
12:30What part of your body was the MRI looking at?
12:31I have no idea.
12:32It was just an MRI.
12:33What part of the body?
12:34It wasn't the brain, because I took a cognitive test, and I aced it, and I got a perfect mark,
