00:00president remains good. I simply had doubts from the start about what was begun with the
00:04war in Iran and that is why I expressed this.
00:38No, not at all. From my perspective, my personal relationship with the U.S. president remains
00:44good. I simply had doubts from the start about what was begun with the war in Iran and that is
00:49why I expressed this. In Germany and Europe, we are suffering a significant impact from the
00:53consequences of the Strait of Hormuz being closed. This is having a direct impact on our energy
00:59supply. It is having a massive impact on our economic performance and that is why I am
01:04pressing for a swift resolution to the conflict. We continue to be engaged in constructive discussions
01:10with one another. The German foreign minister returned from New York this morning and reported
01:14on a wide variety of conversations, including with the U.S. government. So, we continue to be,
01:20as they say in American English, on good speaking terms.
