00:00Have the meal. Do you want to ask any questions, please?

00:03Where is my reporter from Africa? There you are.

00:06How are you?

00:08I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. President.

00:10She's very famous in Africa.

00:14Thank you. Thank you.

00:19I have one question for the African presidents

00:22and one question for President Trump.

00:24As you can see, Mr. President Trump,

00:26all the African presidents are very happy with your efforts

00:31to bring peace in the Democrat Republic of the Congo.

00:35My question to you is, today you are making history

00:39by receiving five African presidents

00:42and showing the interest of the United States

00:45to collaborate and to work close with the African nations.

00:49African continent is watching.

00:51African youth is watching.

00:53And this new approach that your administration

00:56is taking to deal with African nations,

00:59not only based on help,

01:00but in doing business that everybody can win,

01:04is really much appreciated for all the Africans.

01:07My question is,

01:08are you planning, Mr. President,

01:10in the future to travel to Africa,

01:14to see firsthand all those countries in Africa,

01:19all those potentials that those countries have?

01:22And for the African leaders,

01:24my question is,

01:26as you can see,

01:27President Trump is working to bring peace,

01:30not only in Africa,

01:31but also in the world.

01:32Are you all considering to nominate President Trump

01:36for a Nobel Prize piece?

01:39That's a very nice reporter.

01:41I got to meet her two weeks ago

01:44when we had the Congo and Rwanda

01:49and we had some other people up from Africa

01:52and that was the first time.

01:55But that's very nice.

01:57I appreciate the questions.

01:58Very nice, actually.

02:00Would you like to,

02:02at some point I would like to go to Africa.

02:04Absolutely.

02:05We're going to see what the schedule is,

02:06but at some point I would like to do that very much.

02:08Would you like to give a fast answer, please?

02:15Thank you very much.

02:17Of course we are supporting this.

02:18Microphone, please.

02:21Yeah, microphone.

02:26We are in favor of this dynamic for peace.

02:35We are very committed on peace.

02:39I am the first head of state

02:41who went to Russia

02:43and who went to Ukraine both

02:45since the start of the war.

02:48I was,

02:49I held the presidency of ECOWAS

02:51and I went to see Mr. Putin.

02:54We spoke for four hours

02:56and then I went to Ukraine.

02:57I spent 12 hours on a train

03:01to speak to President Zelensky.

03:04But now the weight of President Trump

03:06is something else altogether.

03:08We are with you.

03:09We are behind you

03:11to see what we can do

03:12to help bring peace back.

03:15No one wins when there's war.

03:18So you have our support

03:19so that we can bring peace back.

03:24Very nice.

03:25Thank you very much.

03:25Appreciate it.

03:26Go ahead, please.

03:31Thank you, Mr. President Trump.

03:34Thank you

03:35for your questions.

03:42A Nobel Peace Prize,

03:44while I don't see any problem with it,

03:46I think that President Trump

03:49deserves it

03:50for all the efforts

03:51that he's worked on.

03:53and he brought peace back

03:57in the SIAC region.

04:00That is my region,

04:02the region where DRC

04:03and Rwanda signed a deal.

04:07And so he is now bringing

04:09peace back into a region

04:11where that was never possible.

04:13So I believe that he does

04:14deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

04:17That is my opinion on this.

04:19Well, thank you very much.

04:20It's very, very nice.

04:23I didn't know I'd be treated this nicely.

04:25This is great.

04:26We could do this all day long.

04:29Thank you very much.

04:30Please, go ahead.
