Donald Trump has welcomed Nato's decision to hike spending for the common defence at their annual summit.

00:00they've given us couldn't couldn't have been nicer and uh it's a beautiful country really
00:06a beautiful country coming in i saw the most beautiful trees in fact i want to bring some
00:10back with me i want to also thank i had i had breakfast this morning with the king and queen
00:18and their incredible people called i said your central casting beautiful people great people
00:25big beautiful heart and uh i enjoyed that and also uh nato secretary general mark rota
00:34who's been terrific he's been a friend of mine used to be right here running this
00:39wonderful country now he's the nato secretary general is doing a fantastic job
00:44and the prime minister we appreciate everything you've done and as you know last weekend the
00:50united states successfully carried out a massive precision strike on iran's nuclear
00:57enrichment facilities and it was very very successful it was called obliteration
01:04no other military on earth could have done it and now this incredible exercise of american strength
01:11has paved the way for peace with the historic ceasefire agreement late monday and we call it
01:17the twelve day war spoke to a few people i guess that just sounded like the right the right name
01:24it was a twelve day war and we think it's over i don't think they're going to be going back at each
01:29other i don't think so not only have we dealt decisively with the critical threat of iran's nuclear
01:35program which was what i wanted i said iran cannot have a nuclear weapon i've said that for
01:41fifteen years long before i decided to do the political thing but we've also reasserted the
01:49credibility of american deterrence which is like no other the people at nato said this never been
01:56anything you know i rebuilt the entire military during my first term and uh we have a great military
02:03we have great generals got to know the good ones and the bad ones we kept the good ones
02:08over the past two days i was honored to participate in the nato leaders meeting
02:13and also had extremely good individual discussions with the king and the queen secretary general ruta
02:20and the prime minister great discussions very knowledgeable people major focus of our
02:26conversations at the summit was the need for other nato members to take up the burden of the
02:33defense of europe and that included the financial burden as you know it was
02:38two percent and we got it up to five percent and they said a couple of them came up to me one in
02:45particular said sir we've been trying to get it up to three percent for 20 years and we haven't been
02:50able and you got it up to five percent so they're going to be most of them i guess almost all of them
02:55are going to be contributing now five percent a number that uh people are surprised at but you need it
03:02the united states accounts for two-thirds of all nato defense spending and since i began pushing for
03:08additional commitments in 2017 believe it or not our allies have increased spending by 700 billion
03:15dollars uh i said to people you don't have any money and a lot of them weren't paying
03:20and so i started the process and i picked it up as soon as i got back which is six months ago
03:25and following my election last november almost all have accelerated plans to reach the two percent
03:34three percent four percent and then ultimately very quickly five percent and uh all of this is going
03:41to be done very quickly almost immediately you probably know this as well as i do i'm sure
03:46they've been talking about it's really been a big focus in a very historic milestone this week
03:52the nato allies committed to dramatically increase their defense spending to that five percent of
03:57gdp something that no one really thought possible and they said you did it sir you did it well i don't
04:05know if i did it but i think i did this will be known as the hague defense commitment which is pretty
04:13good pretty appropriate when the allies reach this number it will add more than one trillion dollars a
04:19year think of that one trillion per year to our common defense and this is a monument
04:25really to uh to victory but it's a monumental win for the united states because we were carrying much
04:34more than our fair share it's quite unfair actually but this is a big win for europe and for
04:40actually western civilization for years past administrations failed to get most allies to
04:46contribute uh even the two percent i remember when i came here we had four countries that were up to
04:51two percent and uh i remember poland was there a couple of them were there and uh but most of them
04:58were we had 28 at the time as you know it's increased a little bit and uh they've agreed now to more than
05:05double their budgets in all cases and europe stepping up to take more responsibility for its security will help
05:12prevent future disasters like the horrible situation with russia and ukraine and hopefully
05:18we're going to get that solved last week they lost 7 000 soldiers mostly soldiers but they're also
05:24getting hit in kiev they're getting hit in some of the towns also uh and that means life life is
05:34disappearing also in the cities and towns should have never happened would have never happened if i was
05:38president said it a thousand times and it never did happen never even thought about but it's vital
05:46that this additional money be spent on very serious military hardware not bureaucracy and uh hopefully
05:53that hardware is going to be made in america because we have the best hardware in the world you saw that
05:59where 14 missiles were shot at us the other day and uh they were very nice they gave us warning they
06:06said we're going to shoot them is one o'clock okay they said it's fine and uh everybody was emptied off
06:13the base so they couldn't get hurt except for the gunners they call them the gunners and uh out of 14
06:21high-end missiles that were shot at the base in qatar all 14 as you know were shot down by our equipment
06:28amazing stuff amazing that they can do it's like shooting a bullet with a bullet it's the same thing if you
06:35think about it 14 out of 14 and they were they weren't even that surprised i said you do that
06:42well often they say we pretty much do sir the ukraine crisis has also highlighted the urgency of
06:50rebuilding our defense industrial base both in the united states and among the allied nations we
06:56cannot afford to be dependent on foreign adversaries for critical minerals and as you know we made a deal
07:03with ukraine to take a vast amount of the land they have for minerals we need it and once again i want
07:10to thank all of the people in the netherlands incredible people it's a great place and all of
07:16the nato allies for the tremendous summit that we just had a letter just came in and a statement came in from
07:24the atomic energy commission of israel and i just wonder this is an official letter and they're very
07:33serious people as you know the devastating u.s strike on fordo destroyed the site's critical
07:40infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility totally inoperable it was devastated
07:46we assess that the american strikes on iran's nuclear facilities has set back iran's ability to
07:53develop nuclear weapons for many years to come this achievement can continue indefinitely if iran does
08:00not get access to nuclear material which it won't uh it's so so sad that that whole thing had to go
08:08but i just i just want to thank our pilots you know they were maligned and treated very bad demeaned by
08:15fake news cnn which is back there believe it or not wasting time wasting and nobody's watching them
08:21so they're just wasting a lot of time wasting my time and the new york times they put out a story that
08:27well maybe they were hit but it wasn't bad well it was so bad that
08:31they ended the war it ended the war
08:33somebody said in a certain way you know that it was so devastating actually
08:39if you look at hiroshima if you look at nagasaki you know that ended a war too this ended a war in a different way but
08:47it was so devastating also they have uh out of dubai uh just came that iran's foreign ministry spokesman this is iran's foreign ministry
08:57says it's near its nuclear installations were very badly damaged by
09:04the american strike so
09:06what bothered me about these reports so with fake reports put out by the new york times
09:12failing i call it the failing new york times because it's doing terribly without me it would be doing no business at all
09:18but uh and by
09:20fake news cnn and ms dnc
09:23all of these uh terrible people you know they have no credibility
09:27you know when i started they were at 94 percent credibility the media now it's at 16 percent
09:33and i'm very proud of it because i've exposed it for what it is but
09:37uh when i uh when i saw them starting to question the
09:42the caliber of the attack
09:44was it
09:45bad
09:46it was really bad it was devastated they obliterated
09:49like you can't get into the tunnels they just
09:52put that over that just came out they can't there's nothing there's no way you can even get down
09:56the whole thing is collapsed in a disaster
09:58and i think all of the nuclear stuff is down there because it's very hard to remove
10:02and we uh we did it very quickly when they heard we were coming it was you know you can't move it
10:08very hard very dangerous actually to move to
10:10and they also knew we were coming so i don't think too many people want to be down there knowing we're
10:15coming
10:16with the bunker busters as we call them we're the only ones that have them we have the best equipment
10:21best nuclear
10:21equipment and we have the best equipment in the world and by the way
10:25we can't forget our submarine
10:27which was out there submarines actually but submarine was out there we shot
10:31uh 30 rockets into
10:35uh an area every single one of them i think it was almost
10:40400 miles away i think pete right 400
10:43and long it was in the ocean long ways away
10:48and uh we shot we shot uh a total of 30
10:53every single one of them hit within nine inches from where it was supposed to be it took it a lot
10:59because we didn't do just sport or we did uh
11:02two others in addition which hadn't been completely
11:06uh destroyed so we hit them with a submarine from
11:10uh hundreds of miles away amazing just amazing equipment
11:14greatest submarines in the world nobody's even close to 20 years behind us when it comes to
11:19submarine technology
11:21so that's one and the other was uh
11:24was from the atomic energy commission
11:29and they have about three or four of them now coming in from atomic energy commissions from various places but the one
11:35that we have that
11:36just
11:37came out
11:38we released it a little while ago was from
11:40the israeli atomic energy commission but numerous of them are getting to see the site
11:45and the site has been demolished and again
11:49uh we had these brave uh patriots
11:52these incredible flyers these uh people that
11:55uh can fly a plane better than anybody can fly a plane going into very hostile territory flying into
12:02uh
12:03the territory that
12:05it's got more missiles and things pointed at it
12:08but it was very stealth they didn't get to see it it was dark
12:11that's the amazing thing about the shots they hit the shots perfectly and yet it was
12:16dead dark there was no moon there was no light
12:18it was virtually uh
12:20moonless
12:21it was very dark and they hit
12:23the shots were hit perfectly but when they get demeaned and they were very upset about it because they knew how
12:28strong it would be back in missouri
12:30the pilots flew about 36 hours two ways
12:34far distance and
12:36in those incredible b2s
12:38and we then had the f-22s
12:40or we had the f-35s
12:41or we had other planes and we had
12:43i think a total of 52 tankers
12:45that means the big
12:46the big tankers because the refueling was a lot for all of the different planes that we sent
12:51incredible operation and i have to say
12:54uh general raisin cane was incredible that's why he
12:58beat isis and we beat isis in a matter of weeks
13:01i was told it would take four to five years we did it in a few weeks
13:04and he was great that's why he's the head
13:07of the joint chiefs of staff right now because i had a very good experience with him he knocked out isis in a period of literally a few weeks amazing and it was supposed to take a few years five years to be exact so we had a great uh victory there and we then came here and i think we had a great victory here but this is an ongoing project this is the safety of europe the safety of the world and they've raised it from two percent to five percent
13:37something which nobody and you're talking about over a trillion dollars a year so we're talking about a lot of money from coming in from countries that we're not paying nearly enough to be effective
13:47so uh i have as you know marco rubio with me and pete hexa secretary
13:53of state and secretary of war do we say secretary you know it used to be called secretary of war maybe
13:59for a couple of weeks we'll call it that because we feel like warriors used to be called secretary
14:04of war in fact if you look at the old building next to the white house you can see where it used
14:09to be secretary of war then we became politically correct and they called it secretary of defense
14:14i don't know maybe we'll have to start thinking about changing it but we feel that way uh do we have
14:21any questions please wow that's a lot of questions uh who's a nice person oh you're not a nice person
14:31but i'll let you ask one go ahead what's he gonna ask he is not nice at all i know him well thank you
14:39mr president thank you for taking the time before flying home um you just said you believe the conflict
14:45between israel and iran is over what makes you so confident it is and what do you do if it isn't
14:52because i dealt with both and they're both tired exhausted they fought very very hard and very
14:59viciously very violently and they were both satisfied to go home and get out and can it start again i guess
15:07someday it can it could maybe start soon uh i think a big telltale sign was when uh as you know
15:15iran somewhat by not much violated the uh ceasefire and israel had the planes going out that morning
15:24there were a lot of them 52 of them and i said you gotta get them back and they brought them back
15:29they didn't do anything they brought them back it was very good i thought it was amazing actually
15:33uh they have fought a hell of a war they fought very hard i think the war ended actually when we hit the
15:41various nuclear sites with the planes and i just hope you people can give these pilots these are
15:47the best pilots in the world they're the best shots in the world they call them shots that's what they
15:51are and and wait a minute and i i just hope you can give them the respect they deserve as they came
15:57home to fake news and like oh gee there was hardly any damage the things are decimated so uh but i think
16:04no i think they're very much finished i think uh israel is going to get back to doing what they do and
16:10i think that iran's going to get back you know iran has a huge advantage they have great oil and they
16:16can do things i don't see them uh getting back involved in the nuclear business anymore i think
16:21they've had it they've been at it for 20 years and i don't see that happening either now if it does
16:26we're always there it won't be me it'll be somebody else but we're there we'll have to do something
16:31about it yes uh please go ahead go ahead
16:36oh fake news cnn yeah i'll hold it oh yeah yeah here we go wait till you hear this question
16:44i think you should really say how great our soldiers and our warriors are i think everyone
16:50appreciates our soldiers and our warriors i do have two questions for you mr president you just cited
16:54israeli intelligence um on these attacks earlier you said u.s intelligence was inconclusive
17:01are you relying on israeli intelligence for your assessment of the impact of the strikes
17:05no this is also iran made the statement and it's also if you read the document that was given
17:11that pete can talk about if you'd like the document said it could be very severe damage
17:17but they didn't take that they said it could be limited or it could be very severe they really
17:22didn't know other than to say it could be limited or it could be very very severe and you
17:28didn't choose to put that because it was very early after since then we've collected additional
17:33intelligence we've also spoken to people have seen the site and the site is the site is obliterated
17:39and we think everything nuclear is down there they didn't take it out okay question please go ahead
17:45go ahead yeah blue dress thank you so much mr president yesterday you said china can now continue
17:53to purchase oil from iran yeah are you giving up on your maximum pressure campaign because there are
18:00sanctions right now with who on iran no look they just had a war the war was fought they fought it
18:07bravely i'm not giving up they they're in the oil business i mean i could stop it if i wanted i could
18:14sell china the oil myself i don't want to do that uh they're going to need money to put that country
18:18back into shape we want to see that happen would it no if they're going to sell oil they're going
18:24to sell oil we're not taking over the oil we could have you know i used to say with iraq keep the oil
18:29i could say it here too we could have kept the oil um now china is going to want to buy oil and they
18:35can buy it from us they can buy it from other people but you're going to have to put that country
18:39back into shape it needs desperately needs money yeah yeah please
18:44here we go i'm picking the beauties today go ahead mr president secretary general ruta
18:55has described president putin as an adversary a threat an enemy do you view him the same way
19:03and in addition to that you mentioned general kane your chief of staff others uh the chairman
19:09of the joint chiefs general kane yes he has uh said that mr putin has territorial ambitions
19:16beyond ukraine do you view that in the same possible i mean it's possible i know one thing
19:22he'd like to settle he'd like to get out of this thing it's a mess for him uh he called the other
19:28day he said can i help you with iran i said no you can help me with russia because you know in the
19:34last few weeks we took care of india and pakistan kosovo serbia uh i think on friday where you have
19:42coming in uh the congo is coming in and rwanda is coming in that was a vicious war that went on a
19:49machete war heads chopped off all over africa they're coming in we did uh two others in addition
19:58to that nobody's ever done anything like this uh no i consider him a person that's uh
20:05i think been misguided i'm very surprised actually i thought we would have had that settled
20:11easy i've settled four of them in the meantime but he did call up but he said uh you know he's close to
20:17iran he'd like to help us get a settlement i said no no you help me get a settlement with you
20:22with russia and i think we're going to be doing that too yeah please go ahead please
20:28thank you mr president you've made clear your position on what impact the strikes had i wanted
20:34to ask you what is next with iran for instance is there any indication from u.s intelligence
20:39that iran was able to move any material including no we're just the opposite we think we hit him so
20:45hard and so fast they didn't get to move and if you knew about that material it's very hard and very
20:50dangerous to move it's called it's called uh in many people they call it dust but it's very very
20:57heavy it's very very hard to move and they were way down you know they're 30 stories down they're
21:03literally 30 35 stories down underground oh yeah we think we got we think it's it's covered with uh
21:11granite concrete and steel can i ask you are you interested in restarting negotiations with iran
21:18and if so have they were so are people marco could answer but our people are uh not i'm not
21:26the way i look at it they fought the war's done and you know i could get a statement that they're
21:33not going to go nuclear we're probably going to ask for that but they're not going to be doing it but
21:38they're not going to be doing it anyway they've had it they've had it now maybe someday in the future
21:43will want that but uh i've asked marco do you want to draw i just asked him the question as we're
21:49walking on the stage you want to draw up a little agreement for them to sign because i think we can
21:53get them to sign it i don't think it's necessary marco do you want to talk about that please
21:58mr president i think you president trump has shown a willingness to meet and talk to anybody in the
22:04world who's interested in peace i don't know of any president that's been as willing as he has to
22:09meet with anyone and talk about peace we'd love to have peaceful relations with any country in the
22:13world and so um obviously that'll depend on iran's willingness not just to engage in peace but to
22:19negotiate directly with the united states not through some third country or fourth country process but
22:24i know of no president probably in our modern history that's sought peace more than president trump has
22:30sounds like the door is open but you're in no rush is that right it sounds the door is open
22:35i'll tell you what look we're going to talk to them next week with iran uh we may sign an agreement
22:43i don't know to me i don't think it's that necessary i mean they had a war they fought now they're going
22:47back to their world i don't care if i have an agreement or not uh we the only thing we'd be asking
22:52for is what we were asking for before about uh we want no nuclear but we we destroyed the nuclear
22:58in other words that's destroyed i said iran will not have nuclear well we blew it up it's blown up
23:06the kingdom come and uh so i don't feel very strongly about it if we got a document wouldn't be bad
23:12we're going to meet with them actually we're going to meet with them
23:15yeah go ahead please
23:18mr president netherlands tv thank you for visiting our country
23:23as they understood um i of course like to know how you slept last night at the house of the king
23:28i slept beautifully but probably more serious question i think you just had a meeting with
23:32president zelensky did you discuss any ceasefire in this russo-ukrainian no no i just i wanted to
23:39know how he's doing it was very nice actually you know we had little rough times sometimes he was
23:44couldn't have been nicer i think he'd like to see an end to this i do i think uh what i took from
23:52the meeting couldn't have been nicer actually but i i took from the meeting that he'd like to see it
23:56end i think it's a great time to end it i'm going to speak to vladimir putin see if we can get it ended
24:01but but uh look these are brave people they're fighting these wars all over the place you know
24:08uh last week they had i guess close i told you seven close to 7 000 young soldiers russian and
24:16ukrainian soldiers were killed 7 000 in one week it's crazy it's crazy so i'll be speaking to putin
24:23no i had a good meeting with uh with selensky and i had a lot of good meetings we had a lot of good
24:29meetings with a lot of people a lot of great leaders but uh he's he's fighting a brave battle
24:35it's a tough battle yeah go ahead white dress
24:40uh thank you ida hallikainen from finland ilta sanomat uh you have played golf with president
24:48alexander stoop how do you see finland as a nato ally and partner and how would you describe your
24:55relationship with our president well he's a very good golfer okay in fact he was on his college
25:01golf team he went to a good college in the south as you know a very good college and he was a good
25:06golfer we had a good time i think my relationship's great i want to buy uh uh icebreakers you know
25:13you're very good at icebreakers and uh i actually made him an offer i didn't go to congress till
25:20trying to impeach me for this but there's an old it's not old it's fairly new but it's used
25:26icebreaker and i offered him about one third of what he asked for but we're negotiating we need
25:33icebreakers in the u.s and if we can get some inexpensively i'd like to do that actually they'll
25:38fix it up make it good uh also we may buy some icebreakers you know that you make you're the you're
25:43the king of icebreakers that particular country they make them good they make them really good and
25:49they know what they're doing and uh so we're negotiating with them for about 15 different icebreakers
25:54but one of them is available now it's old and it's uh you know old it's like five six years old
26:00and we're trying to buy it i'm trying to make a good deal all i do my whole life my whole life that's
26:06all i do is make deals yeah please go ahead sir go ahead
26:10yeah question for a news hour at dutch tv first of all on on article five on your way here you spoke
26:20about the commitment of the u.s to article five saying i'll give you my definition once we're here
26:25what is your definition and may the u.s commitment to article five change in case some of the nato
26:31members do not reach the threshold that was uh discussed today my second question is following
26:37up on the colleague on iran what intel reports do say that everything over there was um obliterated
26:45yeah well there are numerous of those reports and they're coming out fast and furious but the
26:50most respected ones we've already seen and i will say that on a very uh confidential basis they're
26:57looking at the reports uh like numerous reports and including people going to the site and checking
27:04the site and they're going to be having i guess you're going to be having over the next couple of
27:08days a full we're going to encapsulate it but no the site was obliterated just like i said it was
27:14and just like the pilots should be given credit for as far as article five look when i came here
27:21um i came here because it was something i'm supposed to be doing but i left here a little bit
27:28different differently i said uh i watched the heads of these countries get up and the love and the
27:37passion that they showed for their country was unbelievable i've never seen quite anything like it
27:42that they they want to protect their country and they need the united states and without the united
27:48states it's not going to be the same and you can ask uh mark or you can ask any of the people that
27:53were there it was really moving to see it they love their country they were so respectful of me
27:59because i'm the head of the united states and i made you know the king of saudi arabia when i was in
28:05uh i was in the middle east so i was in qatar for a different reason not a reason to get shot at
28:13we're in there for economic development reasons qatar uae and saudi arabia all three leaders of those
28:20countries and we took back 5.1 trillion dollars into the united states all three leaders said you
28:26know you're presiding over the hottest country in the world the united states right now is the hottest
28:30country in the world the united states right now is the hottest country in the world and when i was
28:57around that table it was a nice uh group of people many of whom i knew from previous when i saw the
29:06passion they had for the country almost everyone and you probably have the tapes it was very public
29:11but almost every one of them said thank god for the united states without the united states we couldn't
29:17they couldn't really have nato it wouldn't work it wouldn't work it will in the future because now
29:22they're paying much more money but uh it wouldn't work it was great and i left here differently i left
29:29here saying that these people really love their countries it's not a ripoff and we're here to help
29:35them protect their country okay we'll do one or two more thank you mr president a question on spain are you
29:45satisfied with uh today oh i think spain is terrible what they've done no i do they they're the only
29:51country that won't pay the full up they want to stay at two percent i think it's terrible and you know
29:55they're doing very well the economy is very well and that economy could be blown right out of the
30:00water with something bad happening you know spain is the only country that are you from spain good
30:05congratulations you're the only country that is not paying i don't know what the problem is it's i think
30:11it's too bad so we'll make it up you know what we're going to do we're negotiating with spain on
30:16a trade deal we're going to make them pay twice as much and i'm actually serious about that we're
30:20going to make spain i like spain i have so many people from spain that it's a great place and they're
30:26great people but spain is is uh the only country out of all of the countries that refuses to pay
30:37and you know so they want a little bit of a free ride but they'll have to pay it back to us on
30:42trade because i'm not going to let that happen it's unfair it's unfair tonight all right sir please
30:48go ahead right in the back yeah you tall one the tall man
30:54mr president johannes petra from austrian national television how are you once said that you would end
31:00the ukraine war in 24 hours you later said you said that certain sarcastically of course it was
31:06sarcastic but you've now been in office for five months and five days why have you not been able
31:12to end the ukraine war because it's more difficult than uh people would have any idea uh vladimir putin
31:20has been more difficult frankly i had some problems with zielinski you may have read about him and it's been
31:26more difficult than other wars i mean look we just ended a war in 12 days that was simmering for 30
31:31years frankly uh we ended uh rwanda and the congo it's coming to sign the documents we've already signed
31:39basic documents but they're coming i think to the white house on friday uh we ended uh serbia was going
31:46to go at it but maybe the most important of all india and pakistan and that wasn't whether or not they
31:55may someday have nukes like we're talking about in the middle east like we're talking about with
32:01israel and iran this is they have nuclear weapons i ended that with a series of phone calls on trade
32:09i said look if you're gonna go fighting each other it's gonna it was getting very bad you know how bad
32:15that last attack was it was really bad if you're gonna go fighting each other we're not doing any trade
32:20deal no no no you have to do a trade deal i said we're not doing any trade deal and in
32:25fact i had the general who really was very impressive uh the uh general from pakistan was
32:32in my office last week uh you know prime minister modi is a great friend of mine he's a great gentleman
32:39he's a great man and i got them to reason i said we're not doing a trade deal if you're gonna fight
32:44and if you're gonna fight each other we're not doing a trade deal and you know what he said no
32:48i want to do with the trade deal we stopped the nuclear war go ahead go ahead jeff here's another
32:55beauty jeff he's a beauty all right go ahead uh mr president dev follow-up on ukraine will the united
33:03states contribute any more money to ukraine's defense this year to the five billion that allies
33:08are giving and one question you had another meeting with the dutch opposition leader mr wilders can you
33:14tell us about that meeting and are you upset about his anti-muslim stance i'm not upset about
33:20it it's just his view he's unhappy with the way things are going in this country in various countries
33:25he was an opposition leader and i was asked to meet with the opposition leader by the people that are
33:31running i think they have some deal where if you have a meeting you're supposed to meet with an
33:34opposition leader i said that's strange that's we don't do that but i met with the i don't i didn't know
33:40him uh he seemed like a very nice guy but he's in opposition to the current people and that was set
33:46up by the current people so i assume when i met with the prime minister you're supposed to meet with
33:51the opposition we'll have to try that sometime in our country let's not do it uh but he was he was
33:59i thought he was very good as far as the money uh going uh we'll see what happens there's a lot of
34:05spirit look vladimir putin really has to end that war people are dying at levels that people haven't
34:11seen before for a long time go ahead go ahead white shirt oh she's all excited okay so um
34:22bbc news ukrainian um where are you from i'm from ukraine oh so my question to you is whether or not the
34:31u.s is ready to sell anti-air missile systems patriot to ukraine we know that russia has been
34:39pounding ukraine really heavily right now are you living yourself now in ukraine my husband is there
34:45well and i can see you're very you know it's amazing and me with the kids um i mean also actually
34:51because he wanted me to be your husband a soldier no he's he's there now yeah well that's rough stuff
34:59right that's tough and you're living here in also and you're a reporter i am good so let me just tell
35:07you they do want to have the anti-missile missiles okay as they call them uh the patriots and uh we're
35:15going to see if we can make some available you know they're very hard to get we need them too we were
35:19supplying them to israel and uh they're very effective 100 effective hard to believe how effective and
35:26they do want that more than any other thing as you probably know that's a very good question
35:30and i wish you a lot of luck i mean i can see it's very upsetting to you so say hello to your husband
35:38okay thank you go ahead
35:45thank you thank you mr president uh you were criticizing where are you from bloomberg news oh
35:50bloomberg uh you were wonderful uh you were criticizing the federal reserve chair before
35:56coming to this summit i think he's terrible i was wondering if you've begun interviewing different
36:01candidates for the fed pick yeah i i i know within three or four people who all gonna pick i mean he
36:08goes out pretty soon fortunately because i think he's terrible um we have no inflation we have a tremendous
36:14economy hundreds of billions of dollars of tariff money is pouring in factories are being built because
36:20they don't want to pay the tariffs so they're building them all over the country i think we're
36:24close to 15 trillion dollars i told you 5.1 trillion from the middle east alone but of investment money
36:30coming in there's never been anything like that in the history of our country but we have no inflation
36:35and we have borrowing because biden stupidly uh they did short-term debt so we have borrowing coming up
36:43and you know we'll go 10 years maybe longer maybe shorter but we'll go a long period of time
36:47when we do the debt and because of him because of this guy uh we will have to pay for years we'll be
36:55paying for him and i said to him listen there's no inflation he says but maybe there'll be some that's
37:02true i said if there is some what you do is raise the rate i'm okay with that you raise the rate in two
37:07years from now or a year from now but because the rate's high we have to pay more for debt it's pretty
37:13equal in other words if it's four percent it's four percent if you drop it a point you'll pay three
37:17percent so it's fairly equal not necessarily but fairly equal so we're going to end up paying maybe
37:22two points or three points more uh three points would be about nine hundred billion dollars a year
37:29because of this very average mentally person he's an average mentally person i'd say low in terms of
37:37what he does low uh low iq for what he does okay uh wait so instead instead of paying nine hundred
37:49billion dollars we don't want to pay 900 just because he doesn't want to lower the rate i said
37:55if there's inflation in two years or three years or one year from now you raise the rate you take care
38:00of the inflation among other things but he's probably a very political guy i guess i don't know
38:08i think he's a very stupid person actually all right one more let's go how about you go ahead
38:14she looks so happy and everything thank you i'm from spain too i'm anabu from la vanguardia i wanted
38:20to know if you're where from spain too i wanted to know if you want to that's the spain corner right
38:25there shouldn't have said that that's okay i do like spain by the way i think it's unfair that
38:30they're not paying but go ahead are you going to negotiate directly with spain about i'm going
38:34to negotiate directly with spain i'm going to do it myself they're going to pay they'll pay more money
38:40this way you should tell them to go back and pay you're a reporter tell them to go back they ought to
38:46join all of those countries that are paying five percent spain's going to be just about the only one
38:52that's not they were the most hostile toward for doing i just doesn't make sense to me okay uh all right
39:00kelly go ahead here we go here's another one thank you we got them all today okay so mr president you
39:10talked about expecting some on the ground assessments at fordo and other sites is that is really uh and us
39:19it's been obliterated kelly it's been oh what is your message then sir to the intelligence community
39:24when they present reports you're not disputing the dia report you're just they presented a report
39:30that wasn't finished we're talking about something that took place three days ago i understand that
39:34the report was done so what is it go wait a minute yes they didn't see it all they can do is take a
39:40guess now if you take a look at the pictures if you take a look how it's all blackened you know the
39:45fire and brimstone is all underground because it's granite and it's all underground you don't show it
39:50but even there with all of that being said the whole area for 75 yards around the hole where it
39:58hit is black with fire uh the group that's run by this gentleman in fact you may want to talk about
40:05it for a second because we're going to issue a report uh and i think it's not even a very exciting
40:11report at this point it's been obliterated totally obliterated and uh they did a report but it was like
40:18if you look at the dates it's just a few days after it understood sir so they didn't see it they
40:24said it may be very severe understood do you have a message for the intelligence community though in
40:29terms of unvarnished information getting to you that it's not i don't really have a message uh i would
40:34say uh issue the report when you know what happened i wouldn't say that it could be severe or maybe not
40:40they use the word severe it could be severe or maybe it's not and so people like you picked up and
40:46said oh it's not severe we're just the report was not a complete report yeah the message was probably
40:53wait till you know the answer before you answer did you not have a public component to your zelensky
40:58meeting for a tactical reason with president let him answer hello mr secretary yeah uh there's a reason
41:06the president uh calls out fake news for what it is these pilots these refuelers these fighters
41:13these air defenders the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory flying 36 hours on
41:19behalf of the american people in the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this
41:24audience can fathom and then the instinct the instinct of cnn the instinct of the new york times
41:31is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt president trump or our
41:39country they don't care what the troops think they don't care what the world thinks they want to spin
41:44it to try to make him look bad based on a leak of course we've all seen plenty of leakers and what
41:49leakers do they have agendas and what do they do do they share the whole information or just the part
41:54that they want to introduce and when they introduce that preliminary uh a preliminary report that's deemed to
42:02be low a low assessment you know what a low assessment means low confidence in the data in that
42:08report and why is there low confidence because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by 12 30
42:14000 pound bombs is buried under a mountain devastated and obliterated so if you want to make an assessment
42:21of what happened at fordo you better get a big shovel and go really deep because iran's nuclear program
42:28is obliterated and somebody somewhere is trying to leak something to say oh with low confidence we think
42:35maybe it's moderate those that dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what
42:42happened when that exploded and you know who else knows iran that's why they came to the table right
42:47away because their nuclear capabilities have been set back beyond what they thought were possible
42:53because of the courage of a commander-in-chief who led our troops despite what the fake news wants to say
42:59but you're not disputing the report said what it said even though it was initial
43:02the report said what it said and it was fine it was severe they think but they had no idea they
43:09shouldn't have issued a report until they did but we've gotten the information i think pete said it
43:14better than you can say it and you know you should be proud you especially you should be proud of those
43:21pilots and you shouldn't be trying to demean them no those pilots flew at great risk a big chance that
43:28they've never come back home and see their husbands or their wives let me just tell you you and nbc fake
43:34news which is one of the worst and cnn new york times are all bad they're sick there's something wrong
43:40with them you know what you should be praising those people instead of trying to find something
43:44by getting me by trying to go and get me you're hurting those people they were devastated you know
43:50i got a call from missouri great state that i won three times by a lot and i got a call that the
43:57pilots and the people on the plane were devastated because they were trying to minimize the attack and
44:03they all said it was hit but oh but we don't think it was really maybe hit that badly and they were
44:09devastated they they put their lives on the line and then they have and and i'm not referring to you but
44:14real scum real scum come out and write reports that are as negative as they could possibly be
44:21it should be the opposite you should make them heroes and heroines you should make them
44:28really people that they were so devastated when they heard this news and you know what they said
44:33one of them i spoke to one of them said sir we hit the site it was perfect it was dead on
44:40because they don't understand fake news because they have a normal life except they have to fly
44:46very big very fast planes but it's a shame you should be making them heroes all right in the back
44:53go ahead back white yeah white jacket yeah go ahead give my mic um deborah haynes from sky news
45:04um mark rutter the nato chief who is is your friend um he called you daddy earlier um do you
45:13regard your nato allies as kind of children no he likes me i think he likes me if he doesn't i'll
45:19let you know i'll come back and i'll hit him hard okay he did he did it very affectionate daddy
45:24you're my daddy do you regard your nato allies though as kind of like children and they're obviously
45:30listening to you and they're spending more and you're you're obviously appreciative of that but
45:35do you hope that actually they're going to be able to defend themselves defend europe on their own
45:42without i think they need help a little bit at the beginning and i think they'll be able to and i think
45:45they're going to remember this day and this is a big day for nato you know this was a very big day
45:50they took it one of the gentlemen said you know what we've been trying to raise money for
45:54raise the rate uh for 30 years he said 20 years from almost the beginning and he's been there for
46:01a long time he said until you came along it never happened what you did is amazing it's been sort of
46:06an amazing day for a lot of reasons but also for that yeah go ahead you think they can do it without
46:11you though in the future can they do it well ask mark i mean you have to ask mark okay so uh we're
46:17heading back we're heading back i want to thank these two gentlemen behind me they're incredible people
46:23both of them they're really they've done a fantastic job and susie's in the front and she's done great
