00:00Thank you, Mr. President.
00:01My name is Shinji Abe.
00:02I'm a Japanese Yomiri newspaper company from the Washington correspondent.
00:06My question is about the Strait of Hormes.
00:10Did you ask other G7 nations to send military force?
00:15And what specifically are you asking of Japan?
00:18Or...
00:18Where are you from?
00:19I'm from Japan.
00:21From where?
00:22Japan.
00:23And...
00:24I just left your prime minister.
00:26Japan's doing very well.
00:28She's my biggest fan, I have to tell you.
00:31She thinks I did a great job.
00:32You have to call her and ask her.
00:34She's doing a very good job, by the way.
00:36Go ahead.
00:37And...
00:38Military support is no longer necessary.
00:40Yeah, but what do you want to know?
00:41Go ahead.
00:42Just tell me.
00:42What do you want to know?
00:44Okay.
00:44My question is, did you ask other G7 nations to send military force?
00:49And what specifically are you asking of Japan?
00:53To send the Air Force?
00:55For what?
00:56Yeah, so don't you ask any country to send military force?
01:00Oh, other countries.
01:02Not just Japan.
01:03No.
01:04No, I don't need...
01:05We don't need it.
01:06Oh, by the way, they all want to do it.
01:08They all want to do it.
01:10Every single one of them.
01:11They want to go be a part of it now.
01:13Not while the war was going on.
01:15I was a little disappointed.
01:18The UK, I said, yeah, it would be nice if you send ships.
01:21I didn't put a hard sell on, but I said, it would be nice if you send some ships.
01:24And the Prime Minister said, they'll be there, sir, as soon as the war is over.
01:30I said, did he just say that?
01:32I couldn't believe it, actually.
01:35Japan has offered to get involved.
01:37But I mean, I'll be honest, Japan was not willing to get involved during the war.
01:42I asked her, I said, you want to get involved a little bit?
01:45I did put the heavy sell on, but they said, no, we don't want to get involved.
01:50Nobody did.
01:51We did it ourselves with Israel and with the Arab states that got hit, surprisingly hit.
01:57Yeah.
01:58No way.
02:00No way.
02:01No way.
02:07Yeah.
02:07No way.
02:07You in my life.
