00:00So we saw a great game tonight congratulations to Indiana. It was really turned out to be a great

00:11game. Two great teams, wonderful teams with a lot of talent. We enjoyed it very much.

00:17Our country is doing very well. We have many, many buildings opening, factories opening. We've

00:24never had anything like it. And I think you're going to see results very soon. You're already

00:28seeing them. But we have more money being invested in our country than any country in history.

00:36As you know, the Secretary of the Interior, Doug Berkham, who's with me right now, has a lot

00:43to report. I don't know if you want to say a couple of words, Doug, but you might want

00:47to say how well we're doing as a country. Well, with President Trump's leadership, we've got

00:53inflation coming down. We've got investment going up. We've got taxes going down.

00:57We've got energy prices down. Everything is aligned for us to have a banner year

01:04in 2026. And the interest in building and investing in our country has never been

01:09greater. There's never been anything like it. The money being invested in our country

01:15is unparalleled. There's never been anything even close. By many times more than China or

01:22the security of the country. Do you have any questions?

01:24The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The Press. The President.

01:29Well, I think I have a lot of messages for Davos. But the primary message is how well the

01:34United States is doing. And I say it all the time. A year and a half ago, we were a dead

01:38country. And now we have the hottest country in the world. I mean, you're beneficiaries, too.

01:43So if you look, some of you have 401 s. You don't have to tell me your numbers are the

01:49best they've ever been. And the stock market is at an all-time high. It's, we are just doing

01:57great. So I think the message at Davos, we're leaving, we're going to have an interesting time.

02:02We have a lot of meetings scheduled. But the message for Davos is how incredible our country

02:08is doing. Can you speak to your letter that you wrote

02:15to the Prime Minister saying that the Nobel Prize has influenced your thinking on Greenland?

02:17No, I don't care about the Nobel Prize. First of all, a very fine woman felt that I deserved

02:23it and really wanted me to have the Nobel Prize. And I appreciate that. If anybody thinks that

02:29Norway doesn't control the Nobel Prize, they're just kidding. They have a board, but it's controlled

02:36by Norway. And I don't care what Norway says. But I really don't care about that. What I

02:42care about is saving lives. And I think I've saved tens of millions of lives. If you look

02:48at India, Pakistan, just as one, two nuclear powers, you look at so many of the countries

02:55that were in a 30, in some cases, a 35-year war. And I got it done. We stopped eight wars,

03:02and maybe we'll be stopping at night very soon. We'll see.

03:06What do you plan to send the European leaders in Davos when they push back on your Greenland plan?

03:11Well, I don't think they're going to push back too much. Look, we have to have it.

03:15They have to have this done. They can protect it. Denmark, they're wonderful people.

03:20And I know the leaders, they're very good people. But they don't even go there. And you know,

03:27because the boat went there 500 years ago and then left, that doesn't give you title to property.

03:33So we'll be talking about it with the various people. We've had tremendous success. And we've,

03:41you know, I've done more for NATO than anybody else. I don't think you'd have NATO right now.

03:46I got them to go 5 percent and pay as opposed to 2 percent and not pay.

03:51I've done more than any other American president for NATO by far.

03:55And we'll see how that goes. But Greenland is very important.

03:59Have you invited President Putin to be a member of the Board of Peace?

04:04Yeah, he's been invited.

04:07Did you give any response to President Macron saying he will not join the Board of Peace?

04:12Did he say that? Well, nobody wants him because he's going to be out of office very soon.

04:17So, you know, that's all right. What I'll do is if they feel like Costo,

04:21I'll put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join.

04:26But he doesn't have to join. If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently.

04:31But if he actually did say that. But as you know, he's going to be out of office in a few months.

04:36Did you invite President Putin to join the President?

04:40Yes, he's one of the people. These are world leaders. And the answer is yes.

04:45Mr. President, how do you feel about the first year of your second term?

04:50Amazing. Tomorrow is the first year. Think of it. One year.

04:54I don't think there's been a term like it. I don't think any president has had a better first year than we've had in terms of success.

05:02Again, we've taken our country from a failure with open borders, no business, everything going badly,

05:11terrific inflation, the highest inflation in history, prices that are through the roof.

05:18And we've brought prices down. We have earned a little inflation. We have a great economy.

05:23And the prices are coming down still further. But I inherited a mess.

05:28And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

05:32Mr. President, do you think that you had any influence on the Giants signing a deal with Coach Arbaugh?

05:36And how do you think they'll do it in New York?

05:37I don't know, but they've got a great coach. I like the coach. I like his brother.

05:41They came up to see me with about three months ago. They came up to see me in the White House. Did you know that?

05:48Yes, I did.

05:49With the mother and father, because the mother likes me and the father likes me, and I think they like me.

05:53And he's a great coach, and he's going to do well with the Giants, just like his brother does so well.

05:59They are — they've got something very special in their blood.

06:02And I'm happy for the Giants. They've got a great coach.

06:05It's nice that you ask. I did put out a — I put out a strong word.

06:09Hire Coach Arbaugh.

06:11Mr. President, can you tell us about the Fed? Will you make an decision for Dow?

06:16Yeah, I know who I want.

06:18You know who you want?

06:19In the Fed.

06:20When will you make an decision?

06:21I'll announce it sometime, but I know — I know who I want.

06:25You said securing the Arctic's Russian threats is important to you.

06:29Why are you upset about NATO allies, thinking that, you know, more seriously in Greenland by holding military exercises?

06:35Well, that wasn't a military. They sent a few people. And they say they sent them, not for me, but to guard against Russia.

06:43But, you know, NATO has been warning Denmark for about 20 years now — longer than that — 25 years.

06:50They've been warning Denmark about the Russian threat.

06:54And it's not only Russia, it's also China.

06:57So we'll see what happens. But let's put it this way.

07:01It's going to be a very interesting Davos.

07:03Goodbye, everybody. Have a good flight. Thank you.

07:06Thanks, sir. Thank you, President.

07:13Thanks, sir.

07:15Thanks, sir.
