00:00My relationship with the President, hey listen, if somebody is doing good stuff and President
00:05Trump is doing a lot of good stuff, I believe.
00:06I know I'm irritating a lot of you again, but I think so.
00:10Because, as I said also in Davos, the 2% reach by all.
00:15NATO countries now at the end of 2025 would never, ever, ever have happened.
00:20Do you really think that Spain and Italy and Belgium and Canada...
00:25...would have decided to move from 1.5 to 2%, Italy spending 10 billion more...
00:30...are now on the fence at the beginning of the year without President Trump?
00:32No way, it would not have happened.
00:35Do you really think that in The Hague we would have come to the 5% commitment without President Trump?
00:39No way.
00:40So when President Trump is doing good stuff, I will praise him and I don't mind him.
00:45...publishing tax messages and if anyone thinks here, again, that the European...
00:50...Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming, you can't.
00:55We can't. We need each other.
