00:00Hello everybody, I hope you had a good time in beautiful Scotland

00:30Yes

00:36Mr. President, yesterday you mentioned that you would change the Russia deadline to 10 to 12 days

00:44Is that, has that started yet? Or when can we, you know, see the official statement that that is the new deadline?

00:50I'll tell you what, I'll give it to you now. Do you want a big scoop?

00:52Yes, please.

00:53Everybody else, close your ears, okay? You ready?

00:55I'm ready.

00:56Two days from today. And then, you know, we're going to put on tariffs and stuff

01:00And I don't know if it's going to affect Russia, because he wants to obviously probably keep the war going

01:06But we're going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on

01:11It may or may not affect them, but it could

01:14Mr. President, your Treasury Secretary and Howard Blutnik, Secretary of Commerce

01:20China talks wrap today, any sort of reaction coming out of the meeting

01:24They're extending the truth

01:26Are you pleased with that?

01:28I just, I just had a phone call from Scott Bessett

01:32And had a very good meeting with China

01:34And it seems that, I mean, they're going to brief me tomorrow

01:38We'll either approve it or not

01:40But he felt very good about the meeting

01:44Better, better than he felt yesterday

01:46Any update on when you'll meet with President Xi?

01:48When can we expect that?

01:50He wants to meet and I look forward to the meeting too

01:54But I would say before the end of the year

01:56I mean, just to go full circle

02:00So we had a very good meeting today

02:02If you would have asked me the question yesterday

02:04No, it wasn't looking too good

02:06I would have said, maybe I might have said nothing

02:09But I might have also said it wasn't going too good

02:12I just heard from Scott that the meeting went very well today with China

02:17India's been, they're my friends and he's my friend

02:21And, you know, the end of the war with Pakistan and my request

02:24And that was great

02:26And Pakistan did also, you know

02:28We did a lot of, a lot of great settlements

02:32Including the recent one, as you know, with Cambodia, blah, blah, blah

02:35So, that was a great one

02:39I think that's been pretty well finalized now, right?

02:41I don't know, I'm asking you

02:42Did I do a good job on that one?

02:44I did a good job in about five different wars

02:47Do you think I'll get credit for it? No

02:50Will I get credit for it? She'll say yes

02:53No

02:54Is the deal with India finalized?

02:56No, it's not

02:58Okay, so what rain are you expecting?

03:00Oh, we're going to see

03:01We're going to see

03:02But India's been a good friend

03:04But India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country

03:10You know that, right?

03:11Over the years

03:13But now I'm in charge and you just can't do that

03:16Thank you all very much

03:17Thank you, Mr. President

03:18Enjoy the flight

03:19Thank you

03:20Thank you

03:21Thank you
