00:00Thank you very much, Mr. President.
00:01Can you tell us if you have spoken with French President Macron
00:04about the coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
00:08Have you been speaking with the French President?
00:10What does that mean?
00:12Have you been speaking with the French President Macron
00:15about the coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
00:18Yeah, I have spoken to him.
00:21He's been on a scale of 0 to 10.
00:26I'd say he's been an 8.
00:28Not perfect.
00:30But it's France.
00:33We don't expect perfect.
00:35Are you confident that France will help
00:37with the reopening of Strait of Hormuz?
00:40Yeah, I mean, sure.
00:41He's going to, I think he's going to help.
00:43I mean, I'll let you know.
00:45I spoke to him yesterday.
00:47I don't do a hard sell on them
00:50because my attitude is we don't need anybody.
00:54We're the strongest nation in the world.
00:56We have the strongest military by far in the world.
00:59We don't need them.
01:01But it's interesting.
01:02I'm almost doing it in some cases,
01:04not because we need them,
01:05but because I want to find out how they react.
01:07Because I've been saying for years
01:09that if we ever did need them,
01:10they won't be there.
01:11Not all of them,
01:12but they won't be there.
01:13I was very surprised with the United Kingdom
01:16because the United Kingdom,
01:18two weeks ago, I said,
01:20why don't you send some ships over?
01:22And he really didn't want to do it.
01:24I said, you don't want to do it.
01:25We've been with you.
01:26You're our oldest ally.
01:28And we spend a lot of money on NATO
01:32and all of these things to protect you.
01:34I mean, we're protecting them.
01:36We're working with them on Ukraine.
01:37Ukraine's thousands of miles away,
01:40separated by a vast ocean.
01:42We don't have to do that,
01:43but we did it.
01:44Well, Biden did it.
01:45I mean, I have to be honest with you.
01:47It's three.
01:47Biden got taken to the cleaners.
01:50But we worked with them in Ukraine.
01:52We don't need to work with them in Ukraine.
01:54And then they tell us that
01:57we have a mind ship around
01:59and they don't want to do it.
02:00I think it's I think it's terrible.
02:02No, I would.
02:03I was very surprised.
02:04I told him, you know,
02:05we requested two aircraft carriers,
02:07which they had.
02:09And he didn't really want to do it.
02:12And then right after the war essentially ended,
02:14you know, meaning they were obliterated.
02:17He said,
02:19I would like to send the aircraft carriers.
02:21I said,
02:22I don't need them after the war has ended and won.
02:25I need it before the war.
02:26So I was very upset with not upset.
02:29I was I was not happy with the UK.
02:33I think they'll be involved.
02:35Yeah, maybe.
02:35But they should be involved enthusiastically.
02:38We've been protecting these countries for years with NATO
02:41because NATO is us.
02:43You can ask Putin.
02:45Putin fears us.
02:46He doesn't fear.
02:47He has no fear of Europe whatsoever.
02:49He fears the United States of America
02:53and the military that was built by me in the first term.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Yeah.
02:57Yeah.
