00:00The President.
00:00We had an amazing day and now we're going to Versailles
00:05for dinner with some of Europe's great people and
00:10we'll see how that works out, I think it'll be very good.
00:13The President will be there with Madam and I think
00:17we're going to have a good time.
00:19The press conference seems to have gone well, you
00:24shot your load pretty much Steve.
00:25Pretty much but, going well.
00:29Well, it seems like the agreement is very well undertook.
00:32Are you coming to Versailles with us?
00:35I hope I'm going to try and get you to do the tour because, honestly, it's unbelievable.
00:42Say it?
00:44The Pressure of the Fed decision they held raised today.
00:46Did you see that?
00:47It's all right.
00:47Whatever.
00:48The Pressure of the Fed.
00:48And it looks like they might even raise them later this year.
00:51It's not clear.
00:51Do you have any comment on that?
00:52It could happen.
00:53I mean, it's hard to believe.
00:55It just keeps the country down.
00:57You know, so — it's so unusual.
01:02But we have a very good guy over there now.
01:04So I'm guided by what he wants.
01:06The Pressure of the Fed.
01:07The Pressure of the Fed.
01:08The Pressure of the Fed.
01:08Was this his first time?
01:10Yeah.
01:11I don't know.
01:11I saw a statement.
01:12It just came out.
01:13The Pressure of the Fed.
01:14Do we have any clarity on when the deal will be signed?
01:16When the memorandum — you said tomorrow, maybe Friday?
01:19I'd say 48 hours.
01:20The Pressure of the Fed.
01:22The Pressure of the Fed.
01:22I'd say 48 hours.
01:23The Pressure of the Fed.
01:24We haven't determined yet.
01:26But it's — it's in final form.
01:28We haven't determined yet.
01:29How long did you leave the U.S. military in the Gulf?
01:32How long will you leave the U.S. military in the Gulf?
01:35Good question.
01:36We haven't thought of it.
01:37We're really — probably a while.
01:40It's a good place to stay.
01:44The question was, how long will you leave the military in the Gulf?
01:47I would say a little while.
01:49See?
01:50See how it all goes.
01:51I think it's going to go well.
01:52But we'll see.
01:53So I will see you guys at Versailles.
01:55Can I follow up quickly on something you said in the press conference?
01:58You said you don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles.
02:01Can you elaborate on that?
02:02I want to make sure we understand your position on that.
02:04No, I want to — I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them
02:08not to have some.
02:10A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about when we talk nuclear.
02:14But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar — and they all have some — I would say, in relative proportion, I
02:22think it's okay.
02:23That's what I mean.
02:24Okay?
02:25The Press.
02:25How important is it in the MOU, which just came out, that Iran commits not only to not pursue nuclear
02:31weapons, but also resolve the nuclear dust, as you call it?
02:35That's great.
02:36Much less important, because it's very hard to get at that.
02:40Very — I don't think anybody could get at it.
02:41We could get at it with great work and a lot of time.
02:44But the B-2 bombers and those great pilots, now you understand, they did their job.
02:50So much less important than not having a nuclear weapon.
02:54The Press.
02:54What do you expect tonight at the dinner?
02:56Is this kind of part of a long farewell to President Macron?
03:01No, not really for that.
03:02You just — I think he's just honoring our country.
03:05And you have the biggest people from Europe, great people.
03:09You might have a list.
03:11You have a list of the people?
03:12Very impressive group of people.
03:13The Press.
03:14There was a late-lake moment at the G7 where the Canadian Prime Minister was talking to you about their
03:18Chinese car cap.
03:20And he said you said you like it.
03:21Can you comment on that?
03:23Like what?
03:23The cap that China — that Canada put on Chinese car imports.
03:27You were talking about it with Carnie.
03:29What do you think of that?
03:29Well, I don't — I don't know that I said I like it.
03:31But I could understand that, yeah.
03:32Is that a cap?
03:33A cap?
03:34Would I rather see a cap than no cap?
03:36Yeah, I would.
03:36On — on Canada.
03:38Would the U.S. ever consider allowing Chinese cars?
03:41Well, we haven't.
03:42They pay over 100 percent tariffs.
03:44So we don't have the problems that Europe has or Canada.
03:47How long do you hope USMCA negotiations or review go on?
03:51Well, it's not something that's — to me, I think it's better without it, I mean, to be honest with
03:57you.
03:57I'm not a big fan of it.
03:59I liked it because it got us out of NAFTA.
04:02In other words, after six years, you had to close it.
04:04It got us out of NAFTA.
04:05That's the thing I liked about it most.
04:07We do better without an agreement.
04:10Do you want to just leave it enrolling?
04:12I would rather leave it unsigned.
04:14I'd rather have it terminated.
04:16You'd rather have it terminated?
04:17Well, those are different things, sir.
04:18I just want to be clear.
04:19I would rather not have the agreement, but it — I may sign it.
04:22Right.
04:23But I would — we'd do better, as a country, if we don't have an agreement.
04:26So are you thinking of —
04:27Yeah, I'm thinking about maybe we won't be able to make a deal.
04:30I would rather not have the USMCA.
04:33The primary reason I wanted it was because there was no way out of NAFTA,
04:37which was the worst trade agreement ever made — like, ever.
04:40And they had no termination.
04:42And it was very hard to get USMCA for that reason.
04:46And I had a six-year close.
04:47Who would have thought I would have been here in the six years?
04:49They got it six years because they hoped I wouldn't be here.
04:53My term was supposed to be over with.
04:55So, on top of everything else, it comes to —
04:58I would prefer not having an agreement.
05:00But I'm open to doing it.
05:02We'll see what happens.
05:03So, as of now, it's just going to stick around for ten years.
05:05You okay with that?
05:06No, it's not sticking around.
05:07It'll be terminated.
05:09In other words —
05:10Not after a decade.
05:10It expires.
05:11Yeah, in a decade.
05:12It expires.
05:14I prefer this.
05:15In the first paragraph —
05:16I view it as possibly expiring immediately.
05:19In the first paragraph of the Iran memorandum, it says,
05:24no use of force, but also no threat of a use of force.
05:27You talked about bombing Iran if they didn't comply.
05:30Is that a threat?
05:31Would the Iranians see that as a breaking —
05:34If they don't come through?
05:35Is it a threat that we bomb?
05:38You can call whatever you want, but it'll probably happen.
05:43I will see you at Versailles.
05:44And you're going to go back and tell the New York Times.
05:47You're going to change your whole way of life.
05:49Okay.
05:50Do you see the 60 days as a hard deadline for a final agreement?
05:53No.
05:54I don't.
05:56Could take long.
05:57So you could extend?
05:58You could extend this phase.
05:59I don't view it as hard, though.
06:01You don't think of it as a hard deadline for a final agreement?
06:03Just as long as they're behaving, I really don't care.
06:06Can you talk about Greenland, sir?
06:09I do?
06:10Greenland?
06:10Did you talk about Greenland?
06:11No, we didn't discuss Greenland.
06:12Not at all?
06:13I should discuss Greenland.
06:15Does Ukraine now have the advantage on the battlefield?
06:18What's the situation?
06:19Well, they're doing pretty well.
06:21Russia's a big country.
06:22Big, you know, much bigger military.
06:24But they're doing pretty well.
06:26They're holding their own.
06:28They have great equipment with our equipment, don't forget.
06:30But they're doing pretty well.
06:32Are you going to send in any more U.S. military help?
06:35Well, they pay for it.
06:36Yeah.
06:37I send it to Europe.
06:38Europe pays for it.
06:40NATO pays for it.
06:41Unlike Biden, where he gave $300 billion worth of equipment away.
06:45Sanctions on Russia.
06:47What are you going to do about that?
06:49Sanctions on Russia, like the oil waiver.
06:51Yeah, I may put them back on.
06:53Yeah.
06:53I wanted to make sure that oil stayed as low as five.
06:56Now that the oil price is way down.
06:58Where do you see those numbers?
07:00But it's way down.
07:01I may put it back on.
07:02Okay?
07:03Thank you, Mr. President.
