00:00You don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles?
00:02Can you elaborate on that?
00:03I want to make sure we understand your decision.
00:05No, I'm saying that if other countries have them,
00:08it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some.
00:12A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about,
00:15when we talk nuclear.
00:16But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar, they all have some,
00:21I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay.
00:24That's what I mean.
00:25You don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles?
00:28Can you elaborate on that?
00:29I want to make sure we understand your decision.
00:31No, I'm saying that if other countries have them,
00:34it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some.
00:37A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about,
00:41when we talk nuclear.
00:42But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar, they all have some,
00:46I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay.
00:50That's what I mean.
00:51Hello, everybody.
00:52We had an amazing day.
00:55And now we're going to Versailles for dinner with some of Europe's great people.
01:00And we'll see how that works out.
01:02I think it'll be very good.
01:04The president will be there with Madam.
01:07And I think we're going to have a good time.
01:10The press conference seems to have gone well.
01:14You shot your load pretty much, Steve, right?
01:17Pretty much.
01:18But going well.
01:20Seems like the agreement is very well undertook.
01:23Are you coming to Versailles with us?
01:25Yes, sir.
01:26I hope I'm going to try and get you to do the tour,
01:29because honestly, it's unbelievable.
01:33Say it.
01:34The Fed decision they held raised today.
01:37Did you see that?
01:38It's all right.
01:39Whatever.
01:39And it looks like they might even raise them later this year.
01:42It's not clear.
01:42Do you have any comment on that?
01:43It could happen.
01:44I mean, it's hard to believe.
01:46It just keeps the country down.
01:48You know, so it's so unusual.
01:53But we have a very good guy over there now.
01:55So I'm guided by what he wants to know.
01:59Was this his first time?
02:01Yeah, I don't know.
02:02I saw a statement.
02:03It just came out.
02:04Do we have any clarity on when the deal will be signed?
02:08When the memorandum is set tomorrow, maybe Friday?
02:10I'd say 48 hours.
02:1148 hours and 50 minutes is?
02:13I'd say 48 hours.
02:14Do you know when to leave us?
02:15We haven't determined yet.
02:18It's in final form.
02:19We haven't determined yet.
02:20How long did you leave the U.S. military in the Gulf?
02:23How long will you leave the U.S. military in the Gulf?
02:26It's a good question.
02:27We haven't thought of it.
02:28We're really probably a while.
02:31It's a good place to stay.
02:35The question was, how long will you leave the military in the Gulf?
02:39I would say a little while.
02:41See how it all goes.
02:42I think it's going to go well, but we'll see.
02:44So I will see you guys at Versailles.
02:47Can I follow up quickly on something you said in the press conference?
02:49You said you don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles.
02:52Can you elaborate on that?
02:53I want to make sure we understand your position on that.
02:55No, I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some.
03:01A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about when we talk nuclear.
03:06But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's
03:13okay.
03:14That's what I mean.
03:15Okay?
03:16How important is it in the MOU, which just came out, that Iran commits not only to not pursue nuclear
03:23weapons,
03:23but also resolve the nuclear dust, as you call it?
03:26It's great.
03:27Much less important, because it's very hard to get at that.
03:31I don't think anybody could get at it.
03:32We could get at it with great work and a lot of time.
03:36But the B-2 bombers and those great pilots, now you understand it.
03:40They did their job.
03:41So much less important than not having a nuclear weapon.
03:45With respect to tonight at the dinner, is this kind of part of a long farewell to President Macron?
03:52No, not really for that.
03:53I think he's just honoring our country.
03:56And you have the biggest people from Europe.
03:59Great people.
04:01You might have a list.
04:02You have a list of the people.
04:03Very impressive group of people.
04:04There was a hot mic moment at the G7 where the Canadian Prime Minister was talking to you about their
04:09Chinese car cap.
04:11And he said you said you like it.
04:13Can you comment on that?
04:14I like what?
04:14The cap that Canada put on Chinese car imports.
04:18You were talking about it with Carney.
04:20What do you think of that?
04:21Well, I don't know that I said I like it.
04:22But I could understand that, yeah.
04:23Is that a factor?
04:25A cap?
04:25Would I rather see a cap than no cap?
04:27Yeah, I would.
04:28On Canada.
04:30Would the U.S. ever consider allowing Chinese cars?
04:32Well, we haven't.
04:33They pay over 100% tariff.
04:35So we don't have the problems that Europe has or Canada.
04:38How long do you hope USMCA negotiations or review go on?
04:43Well, it's not something that's, to me, I think it's better without it, I mean, to be honest with you.
04:48I'm not a big fan of it.
04:50I liked it because it got us out of NAFTA.
04:53In other words, after six years, you had to close it.
04:55It got us out of NAFTA.
04:57That's the thing I liked about it most.
04:58We do better without an agreement.
05:01Do you want to just leave it enrolling?
05:03I would rather leave it unsigned.
05:05I'd rather have it terminated.
05:07You'd rather have it terminated?
05:08You know, those are different things, sir.
05:09I just want to be clear.
05:10I would rather not have the agreement.
05:12But I may sign it.
05:13Right.
05:14But I would rather...
05:14We do better as a country if we don't have an agreement.
05:17So are you thinking of...
05:18Yeah, I'm thinking about maybe we won't be able to make a deal.
05:21I would rather not have the USMCA.
05:24The primary reason I wanted it was because there was no way out of NAFTA,
05:28which was the worst trade agreement ever made, like, ever.
05:32And they had no termination.
05:33And it was very hard to get USMCA for that reason.
05:37And I had a six-year close.
05:38Who would have thought I would have been here in the six years?
05:40They got it six years because they hoped I wouldn't be here.
05:44My term was supposed to be over with.
05:46So on top of everything else, it comes to...
05:49I would prefer not having an agreement.
05:51But I'm open to doing it.
05:53We'll see what happens.
05:54So as of now, it's just going to stick around for 10 years.
05:56You're okay with that?
05:57No, it's not sticking around.
05:58It'll be terminated.
06:00In other words...
06:01After a decade.
06:01It expires.
06:02Yeah, yeah, in a decade.
06:03It expires.
06:05I prefer this.
06:06In the first paragraph...
06:08I view it as possibly expiring immediately.
06:10In the first paragraph of the Iran memorandum,
06:14it says,
06:15no use of force, but also no threat of a use of force.
06:18You talked about bombing Iran if they didn't comply.
06:21Is that a threat?
06:22Would the Iranians see that as a...
06:25If they don't come through,
06:27is it a threat that we bomb?
06:29You can call it whatever you want,
06:31but it'll probably happen.
06:34I will see you at Versailles.
06:36And you're going to go back and tell the New York Times
06:38you're going to change your whole way of life.
06:40Do you see the 60 days as a hard deadline
06:43for a final agreement?
06:45No, I don't...
06:47Could take long.
06:48So you can extend?
06:49You can extend this phase.
06:50I don't view it as hard.
06:52You don't think of it as a hard deadline for a final...
06:54Just as long as they're behaving, I would.
06:56I don't care that much.
06:57Can you talk to me about Greenland, sir?
07:00That who?
07:01Greenland?
07:01Did you talk about Greenland?
07:02No, we didn't discuss Greenland.
07:03You don't know?
07:04I should discuss Greenland.
07:06Does Ukraine now have the advantage on the battlefield?
07:09What's the situation?
07:10Well, they're doing pretty well.
07:12Russia's a big country.
07:13Big...
07:14You know, much bigger military.
07:15But they're doing pretty well.
07:17They're holding their own.
07:19They have great equipment with our equipment, don't forget.
07:21But they're doing pretty well.
07:23Are you going to send them any more U.S. military help?
07:27Well, they pay for it.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I send it to Europe.
07:29Europe pays for it.
07:31NATO pays for it.
07:32Unlike Biden, where he gave $300 billion worth of equipment away.
07:37Sanctions on Russia.
07:38What are you going to do about that?
07:40Sanctions on Russia.
07:41Like the oil waiver.
07:43Yeah, I may put them back on.
07:44I wanted to make sure that oil stayed as low as possible.
07:47Now that the oil price is way down, where do you see those numbers?
07:51But it's way down.
07:52I may put it back on.
07:54You're welcome.
