What do you think of the proposal from France and UK of a peace mission in Ukraine with soldiers?
00:07
And do you think that Italy should take part into it?
00:10
I think Italy will have to make that determination, but peace missions are always good with me.
00:15
I'm okay with peace missions. Yeah, please.
00:18
Mr. President, have you discussed what areas of cooperation have you discussed with the Prime Minister
00:22
vis-Ã -vis Italy and the United States and Europe and the United States? And on China?
00:27
We discussed it very briefly. No, we're doing very well with negotiations, I think, with all countries.
00:34
And Scott could tell you a little bit, but we are doing very well.
00:38
We have a lot of countries that want to make a deal.
00:41
Frankly, they want to make deals more than I do.
00:43
Go ahead, Scott. Would you say something?
00:45
We've got a process in place. We're working on the big 15 economies.
00:50
First, we had a fantastic meeting with Japan yesterday.
00:54
I believe there's been calls with the EU already.
00:58
And then we have South Korea coming in next week.
01:00
And I believe India is also talking.
01:05
That's moving very quickly.
