00:00What do you think of the proposal from France and UK of a peace mission in Ukraine with soldiers?

00:07And do you think that Italy should take part into it?

00:10I think Italy will have to make that determination, but peace missions are always good with me.

00:15I'm okay with peace missions. Yeah, please.

00:18Mr. President, have you discussed what areas of cooperation have you discussed with the Prime Minister

00:22vis-à-vis Italy and the United States and Europe and the United States? And on China?

00:34And Scott could tell you a little bit, but we are doing very well.

00:38We have a lot of countries that want to make a deal.

00:41Frankly, they want to make deals more than I do.

00:43Go ahead, Scott. Would you say something?

00:45We've got a process in place. We're working on the big 15 economies.

00:54I believe there's been calls with the EU already.

00:58And then we have South Korea coming in next week.

01:00And I believe India is also talking.

01:05That's moving very quickly.
