0:00 We have a G2 coming up, and then we have a G20 coming up. You know what the G2 is, I think, most of you. But we we had in particular some a very good conversations with Prime Minister Modi, India. And we're doing trade deals. We're doing a lot of things. A lot of things are happening between the United States and India. The United States is doing the best we've ever done. We have over $19.2 trillion coming in, and we're building factories. We're building everything, and uh Prime Minister's building a lot in the United States. Spending a lot of money in the United States, so we appreciate that job. But I just want to say he's been my friend for a long time now, and we've always had a great relationship, and it's great to be with you. Thank you very much.
0:46 Great to be with you. >> Mr. President, it's a pleasure to meet you here in Evian. Uh we had an extremely productive meeting in Washington last year, and since then we have given new speed and new energy to our relations, and we are working together on a number of areas.
1:33 And we're also happy that our teams have also been working in close coordination and engagement, and they've been working towards achievement of the targets that we had set for ourselves last year. Mr. President, I commend you for your leadership on the progress that has been made in the efforts to restore peace in West Asia. Uh thanks to your efforts, uh Mr. President, uh new hope for peace and stability in the region has been rekindled, and I'm confident that this
2:20 will lead to a long-standing peace in the region. Mr. President, you and I agree that uh keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is vital for the global economy. The freedom of navigation India has consistently emphasized the importance of ensuring freedom of navigation, and we should work together and place a particular emphasis on that.
3:21 Mr. President, you are aware that across the world, uh Indian seafarers in hundreds of thousands are working and they're performing their duties across global maritime trade routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, and their safety is of utmost importance to us. Mr. President, you made tremendous efforts towards uh reaching this understanding and this agreement, and I'm confident that the issue of seafarers will receive the highest priority during the implementation of this agreement.
4:13 Mr. President, once again, I deeply appreciate and I deeply commend your efforts in ensuring the restoration of peace and making efforts towards restoration of peace and stability in West Asia. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. Friends. Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Mr. President, we've just heard the Prime Minister credit your efforts you know the peace efforts in the >> Thank you. >> Um do you think you can carry the momentum from the Iran deal over to securing an end to the war in Ukraine? And can you tell us about your conversations with President Zelenskyy here at the >> Well, I had very good talks with President Zelenskyy and with President Putin. Uh and we'd like to see that war end. I ended eight wars and to be honest with you, I thought this would have been one
4:59 of the easier ones, but they're not liking each other too much and that makes it much more difficult, but we're working. I had two good conversations with President Zelenskyy and with President Putin. They would They would like to be able to do that. We'll take a look at it. They have asked about that. >> Mr. How close are you to a US-India trade deal? >> Very close. We've been there for a little while and he's a very tough negotiator. He's one of the toughest actually. So, you look at this man, I'll give you a lesson. He's the most beautiful looking man. He looks so nice. He's like an angel. But actually, he's as tough as he's a killer. I don't want to name He's a
5:45 killer. He's as tough as they come, but he looks so good. So, he gets you by surprise. And there's few people like this. People say, "He's such a nice man." I said, "No, he's very He's very tough. He's a tough trader." And he loves the Indian people, but he also loves the USA. We had Howdy Modi in Houston remember? The stadium was full. That was That was great. And we'll be going to India sometime in the future. Well, we had a great visit last time in India. We opened up that new stadium,
6:31 and I think there were 3 400,000 people. It seated like about 150,000. And there were 250,000 outside. And there were 100,000 on the grass. That was I don't know if that record's ever been broken, but we had a great I had a great time in India. Say it. Yeah, I do. I do. I think India plays a big role in everything. As long as he's the leader, India's going to play a big role.
7:23 Well I As long as I'm president, we have a great They have a great friend in the White House. I don't know where there might have been a trouble, but I don't think so. I can tell you everyone here, they love India. They have tremendous respect for this man. Tremendous. Yes ma'am. on Russia now that the focus is once again being shifted to the Ukraine-Russia war? >> We are looking at that. We're seeing how far the price of oil comes down. It's It's really tumbling. It's I guess 74, 75 right now. So, it's down. It's soon going to be at the number that it was 4 months ago. It's pretty amazing. And on top of that, we will have an Iran
8:08 without a nuclear weapon, which I can tell you the Prime Minister feels very strongly about that, too. >> What is Mr. President hearing from European G7 leaders now? >> They were to a leader. And we had G7 plus many others came, as you know. >> [snorts] >> Uh to a leader, they were thrilled. They could not have been happier. Well, this gentleman came, and it's it's a big That's a big get. He came, and uh they are They cannot even believe that it happened quickly, but it really didn't happen quickly. It happened It's been happening for a long time. It's been happening from my first term, when a very evil man named Soleimani was killed. That's when it started. And nobody else did this but Trump. You know, you look at our president. 47
8:56 years, Iran took advantage of the world, the Middle East, but the world. Nobody did anything. The Obama deal was one of the dumbest deals I've ever seen. It was a road to a nuclear weapon. My deal is a wall to a nuclear You're not going to have it. It's a wall to a nuclear weapon. >> On mine sweepers, do you want the Europeans to send mine sweeper boats? Did you talk to >> We don't need them, but if they want to send them, I think it's good. Yes, all of them. All of them. >> Which nations? >> The ones The ones that have that kind of equipment now. But every one of them have committed to being involved in some way. >> And at this point, do you feel that Vladimir Putin is more responsible for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? >> Well, I don't want to comment on that because I'm trying to get it settled and that doesn't make it easy.
9:43 >> Mr. President, you're on the cusp of making history with the possible peace in the Iran conflict. >> I like this guy. You reporters are much nicer than Murray. Go ahead. >> But there is also a tragic loss of lives of Indian sailors recently, sir, in American strikes. Any words of condolences for the grieving families, sir? >> Yeah, I I heard about that. It's a rough profession. There's no question about it. And we work together on it. This has been happening throughout time. But we work together on it. Yeah. We love We love all of those people. They're great people. Yeah please. Well, as long as it takes to get everybody else approved. I mean, they
10:28 were doing a rush act and we didn't get anything for it. Look, he's a very legitimate guy. He's very smart. He's a brilliant guy. Look at the job he did at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac. I mean, it's worth it probably a trillion dollars right now. So, we put him there, but all of a sudden it was like a rush act by the Democrats and they said they were going to approve Pfizer. And I said, "But we want Pfizer approved, but we want the Save America Act approved. Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots with exceptions like for the military, sick, you're sick, uh you're traveling, disabled, very, you know, open and generous. We also want no men playing in women's sports and we want no transgender mutilation of our children.
11:15 None. Those are five things that are 99% to I mean, that's all we want. It's not a lot. The Save America Act. And that can be passed anyway they want to pass it, but I'm not going to sign Pfizer unless it's done. And this was like a rush act. It was a rush act by the Democrats. All of a sudden they want to get And why are they afraid of this guy? I mean, they're so afraid of him, they'll do anything not to have Bolton go in there. He's a very capable guy and they're worried about that. >> Mr. President, Mr. President, this second >> Yes, ma'am. Please. >> You said that deal, the Iran deal, that that has to still be finalized. How confident are you that this Friday signing will happen? >> about this one on the deal? Uh
12:01 inner deals are amazing. I've done them all my life. I've gotten into deals that were 100% and they don't happen. I've gotten into deals that there was no chance of getting them done and it happens and they happen easily. So, you never know with deals, do you? But you're going to find out pretty soon. I think it'll be done. They want to sign. They want to get back to a normal life, you know? We hit them very hard. Don't forget. You know, people talk about when this started. This didn't start three, four months ago. This started years ago when I took out Soleimani. That was a big event. There are those that say it was the biggest event in the Middle East in 50 years. So, we took him out and they became a much different country.
12:47 And then we terminated I terminated the JCPOA. That's Barack Hussein Obama's horrible deal. It gave them a nuclear weapon. And I terminated it and I stopped it and then I stopped it a second time with the B-2 bombers and these are all major events in the history of the world, in my opinion. Because it prevented them from having a nuclear weapon. And now, we're going to do it again and we're going to see how it works out. So, this is a memorandum of understanding, but it's a very strong one. This isn't just like a two-paragraph. This is a long, you know, pretty detailed memorandum then goes into a regular contract. I would think they would do it. If they don't, then that's, you know, that's okay. We'll have to start the
13:33 process again. And we don't lose We have the greatest military in the world. We have the greatest blockade, the naval blockade. It was 100% effective. And again, they have no navy, they have no air force. All bombed out. I don't want to say the leaders, but first level of leader, gone. Second level of leaders, gone. Some of the third level of leaders, gone. And uh they want to make a deal. They are They are so ready to make a deal. Yeah. But you know what? That's okay.
14:21 I think it's a great relationship. I can tell you this. Without having a contract, we don't have a contract. You have the right contract. But if they were attacked, we would be there to help them. How is that? Is that a good statement? Okay. Come here, man. If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there. Now, if there's a new leader, I'm not sure about it. If there's a new leader, I don't know about that. But if they're attacked and he's the leader, we're going to be there to help. And we have and I will I will say this. And everybody says it. I had a great meeting 3 weeks ago with President Xi of China. We have the strongest military in the world by far, and I built it in my first term, and we're using it in my second term, and
15:08 they gave some of of it away stupidly in Afghanistan, as you know, and they spent a lot on Ukraine, 350 billion dollars. But we have the most powerful military in the world. You saw that with Venezuela. Which was 48 Think of it, 48 minutes. And now our relationship with Venezuela is great. We paid for the cost of the war 40 times. Taking millions of barrels out. Venezuela's bene- benefiting, we're benefiting. Venezuela's benefiting. And then we go to Iran and and really in the first week militarily we defeated Iran. Nobody thought that could be done. Yeah, please. No, I want Israel to be able to protect
15:54 himself, but I do want them to use good judgment. What does that mean? What? Oh, I'm sure. I mean, always. We've always had tremendous relationships in terms of employment with India. Very talented people. >> We've seen European leaders interact very warmly with you at the summit. Do you think that they're coming around to your world view? >> Well, I think they think I was right. I'm sort of always right, you know, when you get right down to it. I think they think I was right. They feel good. Now all of a sudden they're They all want to be involved.
16:40 They There's no reason to have them cuz it's pretty much over, but they all want to be involved. He'd be involved if I wanted, but we don't want to waste his time or his people. No, the European leaders the the meeting we had today was was uh you know, just the leaders. I don't even say the European. The leaders that we had met with in addition to the seven we had quite a few come in. Uh they all were willing to get involved. Thank you. Thank you. We had a We had a great meeting on AI. We had all the top people here and it was a great meeting and as you know we're building tremendous numbers of plants but AI we're building the biggest the biggest in the world we're number one in AI by a lot
17:26 and it was a very productive He was here gone fine I think it's going I think it's I think it's India can do anything they want with us we have the best relationship we cannot be closer than we are would you say that sir I don't think we can be any closer Both him and I and our nations but it really starts with the two of us We cannot be closer thank you very much
18:33 >> We just saw the bilateral talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump Trump in a light-hearted moment even said that Prime Minister Modi is a beautiful looking man like an angel yet a top negotiator who loves Indians yes but also the United States Trump even said that United States is doing the best they have ever done Now Prime Minister Modi said that new pace and energy has been maintained since the last meeting between the two countries and that both teams are moving forward towards achieving targets set by both the countries >> Woo!
