00:02Obviously, pretty epic diplomatic developments last night.
00:07Can you walk us through any of the diplomatic steps that were taken that led to the ceasefire,
00:11and specifically Secretary Rubio's role?
00:14What are some of the ongoing efforts to make sure the ceasefire sticks?
00:17And then a separate but related question.
00:19The president spoke this morning about the great trading potential with Iran.
00:23Does this administration envision a broader rapprochement with Tehran that could lead to diplomatic ties being established,
00:32even the embassy being reopened?
00:34Well, on both those issues, I can't speak directly to them, but I can say a few things in that certainly I wasn't there.
00:42The Secretary of State was in a dynamic with the president that is a private dynamic,
00:47as that team was addressing a war and the nature of how to stop it.
00:52So I can't speak to how that transpired or the decisions that were made,
00:57but obviously a successful evening, successful aftermath when it comes also to a very quick ceasefire.
01:05In the meantime, for your other question, which was – remind me again your second question.
01:11Well, President Trump this morning spoke a little bit about the potential for trade with Iran.
01:17Oh, the trade. The trade question.
01:18I was asking more about the potential for the caution.
01:19Yes. Obviously, again, while I can't speak, obviously, to the choices President Trump will make,
01:24what we do all know is that he is a businessman.
01:27Americans appreciate that about him, the nature of how he looks at the issue of national security and safety.
01:34And he has, in the past, addressed the issue of relationships with this country, keep other nations secure,
01:40that we are a good friend to have, that a friendship with the United States assists and helps facilitate the natural national security of another nation.
01:50So I look at that and his approach in certain things, and that's been certainly his attitude about it.
01:58And it seems to be a correct one.
02:01It's one I agree with.
02:02So I think we'll see that, if that, in fact, is the case here, and we'll find out.
