00:00What progress have you made, Mr. President, in getting America's allies to assist the U.S.
00:04in escorting those oil tankers through the strait of our moves?
00:07Well, we don't need too much help, and we don't need any help, actually.
00:10In fact, we just put out a notice.
00:11I was watching over the last couple of weeks, and all of our NATO allies were very much in favor
00:19of what we did.
00:20But they don't want to, you know, despite the fact that we helped them so much,
00:23we have thousands of soldiers in different countries all over the world,
00:28and they don't want to help us, which is amazing.
00:32I mean, amazing.
00:33I was surprised to see that NATO, while they agreed that it was a very important thing to do,
00:39they agreed fully.
00:40Nobody said, oh, you shouldn't do it.
00:41I think NATO's making a very foolish mistake.
00:44And I've long said that, you know, I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us.
00:50So this was a great test, because we don't need them, but they should have been there.
00:55That's pretty tough stuff.
00:56So everyone agrees with us, but they don't want to help.
00:59And we, you know, we as the United States have to remember that,
01:03because we think it's pretty shocking.
