00:00President Trump, my name is Yanda Moble from Newsroom Africa in South Africa.
00:09How important is it for the United States to be at our G20 Summit in November,
00:16given the relationship between our two countries?
00:18You've just heard what has been said to you just now.
00:22Are you coming, and are you preparing to come?
00:25So without the United States, the G20, just like the G7, used to be the G8,
00:30but brilliantly they threw Russia out, would have been a lot better if Russia was in.
00:34You know, a lot of people would say, oh, that's not it.
00:36Because if Russia was in, you probably wouldn't have this war.
00:40And if you had a different president, you wouldn't have the war either.
00:43But we have a G7.
00:45It's important that the United States is in both of them.
00:47I think without the United States, I really believe it's not very important.
00:53It's not the same meaning.
00:55As I said to President Trump, the U.S. really originated the G20.
01:03And it's important that the United States continues to play a key role in the G20.
01:11And we are privileged to be the president of the G20.
01:16But we are even overjoyed that we are going to hand over to the United States,
01:21who are the originators.
01:22And for that reason, I expect the United States to continue playing the leadership role
01:30in the G20 together with other countries.
01:32And I've said, when I initially spoke to President Trump on the phone,
01:38I want him to come to South Africa for a state visit.
01:41And I also want him to come and participate in the G20.
01:46And I want to gladly hand over to President Trump
01:50to take the leadership of the G20 forward in November.
01:54Thank you very much.
01:56Thank you very much.
01:59They don't want to leave.
02:01They like me so much.
02:05I'm a genie.
02:06I'm a genie.
02:06I'm a genie.
02:07I'm a genie.
02:07I'm a genie.
02:08I'm a genie.
02:09I'm a genie.
02:09I'm a genie.
02:10Everybody, please stay moving.
