00:00The President Trump thinks that the European Union is weak.

00:04Mr. President, is he right?

00:07I don't have any reaction. I assume all that I do.

00:09I have the habit of being coherent

00:11between what I say outside and what I do in a private way.

00:15That's all.

00:21I believe that he arrives this evening or tomorrow,

00:23and I leave this evening.

00:25But as I said, I proposed that

00:27there is an instance of coordination that is pertinent

00:29and that France preside this year,

00:31which is the G7.

00:32So it could be an occasion,

00:33but I think we should be extremely calm

00:36and stay where we are.

00:38And in particular,

00:39on the economic agenda,

00:41continue to advance for more growth in Europe,

00:43defend our interests when the rules are not respected,

00:46and then,

00:47on the side of our friends,

00:49when they are bousculated.

00:51And that's what is expected

00:52of an European ally.

00:54There are some qualifications

00:55and I think that's also what is important.

01:00We must defend our principles,

01:02we must defend our interests

01:03without being aggressive.

01:04We are not.

01:05We are not.

01:06We are not doing what we are doing

01:07but without being impressed

01:08but without being impressed.

01:09We are not doing it.

01:10And we protect all our products.

01:11It's the message that you say.

01:12Exactly.

01:13I'm very happy to see you.
