00:00Prime Minister, how was the President? Man to man, looking him in the eye.
00:04Do you think you can trust him? You can work with him?
00:07I can certainly work with him. It was a very encouraging meeting.
00:11We've established a good connection in the discussions we've had,
00:14and that very much came through today.
00:17A lot of common ground on the cost of living.
00:22We agreed around the conflict in the Middle East
00:24and the importance of bringing an end to it, getting this straight, open,
00:28and obviously making sure that Iran doesn't end up a nuclear power.
00:33So lots of agreement there.
00:34I put out my vision for re-industrialisation of the country
00:38and raised an issue in relation to that, related to tariffs.
00:46But beyond that, a very positive reaction.
00:48You can see what we're trying to do.
00:50He was very upbeat about the country's prospects,
00:53which, to be honest, was great to hear.
