and we, when we realized that this seizure or attack on ukraine was inevitable, we organized more than 50 countries around us, and when putin gathered his troops less than 150 km from kyiv, the capital of ukraine, we thought that putin should be reassured that he will not do it, and putin thought that he would seize ukraine. less than a week, but the ukrainian people stopped it and today, kyiv continues to stand, and our alliance is even stronger than you were before, some of the guests here today said that thanks to the united states, they, i want to thank everyone personally for what nato has achieved, nato is now most important for its history,

for its history, and we are really making history ourselves, i and my predecessor assured me that he does not want to have any obligations in nato, we understand that they don't want to participate in the involved article of the fifth, he said that he... uh said that putin taking over ukraine was something of a genius, remember how he said that, and i want to say , that this is a great threat to american security as well, and we must remind all americans that we, nato helped us protect america after 9/11, and i made it clear, i made it clear

to putin that i will not bow to him, and we want to do everything to keep america strong, and that's what we've done, and that's what we'll continue to do . , now the future of american politics depends on the american people, it's not just a political issue, it's a bigger issue, it's also a national security issue, what we're doing is what, what people are talking about, it's extremely important, it's about the world in which we live, and will continue to live decades, and we must ask ourselves, each of us, whether it is safer for us to live with nato, it is safer for you to live with nato, it is safer for your families to live with nato. i think that americans understand and know that, the answer to all these questions is yes, and i believe that all americans understand that america is stronger, stronger, because of the fact that there is such an alliance. i

believe we agree with what truman also said. america cannot stay away from what is happening in the world. we must lead in the world. we have to rule these nations in the world since world war ii as it was. and i want to say that this morning we agreed, we agreed on the economic report, on what is happening in america. we know that inflation has started to decrease in america in the last two years, it is the lowest, now the amount, the price of cars, of products, of food is decreasing, at the same time trump wants to call for a ten percent increase in tariffs on all goods imported into the united states , and this will result in... ordinary working families will

see more than a 2.5 to 5 thousand increase in taxes for every american family, as far as border security, he thought that as what he proposed, it would be good for our country, but what i proposed... the republicans have moved away from that, and we understand that crime at the border is down 50% and now crime is down since trump left office for months the united states is also helping in the gaza strip to pave the way for peace in the middle east i'm sorry six weeks ago . iranian missiles that attacked

israel were retaliated as a result. then, that the un has allowed this, and these are difficult and very complex issues that have a lot of gaps that we need to fill these gaps, somehow fix them, and i will do everything to solve these issues, and i want to tell you, that we, the united states of america, are an integral country, that is, which is necessary for everyone. this is a very important moment for us, and i'm going to take some of your questions now, jeff mason, please give me the floor, we

know that your political future is a little bit... depending on what happening this week, during this nato summit, we know that a lot of people are worried right now about whether you're going to be able to win, the question is, how do you bring these developing events into what's being done and what are your thoughts on whether herris could become vice president if she had to replace you. first, there is the fact that

i am the most qualified to be president, i beat him once, i will beat him again. second. i worked in the senate for a long time, what senators, congressmen, what are currently participating in the elections, they are experiencing it, of course, and those presidents who won had even lower ratings in the elections than i do now, that is, for a long time to come. time, a long time is in this campaign, i'm going to move and we've made a lot of progress, just think about where we are now economically, name me a world economy that wants, wants

to trade places with us, and the number of industrial jobs that we've created , there is a lot to do. workers still need help, corporate revenues have doubled since the pandemic, they are now falling, now from mr. frances, mr. president, you have mixed up the question. the chancellor of germany and the president of france and the president and

prime minister of great britain apologized for you, how bad is it for the image, have you seen a more successful conference, or do you see the damage from that conference and when? i said protina, i said at the very end, and then corrected myself, said, sorry, not putin, zelensky, and so on, if someone says that it was not an extremely successful conference, how many times at this conference? you heard that other state leaders thanked me, many thanked me and said that we achieved this thanks to biden, thanks to the leadership of the united states. i think it was the most successful conference

in a very long time, and find me a world leader who thinks otherwise. now cbs questions. thank you, president, you said about other cases when the president had less ratings, but not only now. your enemies are urging you to reconsider your decision to fight, and your friends and your supporters, have you considered what it would mean to you, to your memory, if you lost to who you think is unfit for the presidency, i'm not here to leave a... memory alone, i'm here to finish the work i started, and you

remember, my first initiatives, that i started, people say, oh no, there's going to be inflation, and now what you hear from mainstream economists, here are 16 nobel laureates , said that under...my plan, if i'm reelected, things will get better, we 'll stop this economic, an economic approach to the redistribution of wealth, and my father was a worker, and i see now that the working class. needs help and i think the same now

as i did when i was a senator, which is to build the economy from the bottom up and find me at least one leading mainstream economist who will say that we have had some failure, we are creating jobs . and also in terms of corporations in my state of delaware there are more corporations registered than anywhere else but corporate income has doubled since the pandemic, we need to hold back a little bit, if i get re-elected i will ensure that... rent increases will be limited to 5%, we need

because we need this economy to grow and you remember i've been criticized for being pro-union and you know i'm more pro-union than any president in history and why because the better off the unions, the ... better for everyone, for everyone, and, for example, remember, we talked about returning the production of computer chips to the united states. earlier, the former president said that it is necessary to import this product so that it is cheaper, so that there is a cheaper labor force. and what i was saying, i went to asia, i went to south korea, and i said

them to invest, some 20 billion dollars to invest in manufacturing in america, because it is the safest economy in the world and the best workers, so... that's 50 billion dollars of investment in computer manufacturing, none of you thought that would happen, no one, but it happens, it happens, and states that love republicans, states that love democrats, they all won, so the bottom line is that the idea that we can't build an economy.

for this, the rich must start paying taxes. they don't say that she is the vice president kamela garis should be ready for the presidency on day one if you are... taken, can you comment on that, first of all, she talked about kamela garis being very active in protecting women.

you have to work for the next two years, the next four years, how will you be able to work, can you tell us how it will be, well, they say that you should go to bed earlier, rest there, well, that's not true, what i said, instead to get up at 7 a.m. every day and go to bed at midnight. i said, for example, to work 8-7 hours instead of not to start at 9 o'clock, at 8 o'clock, so that people go home at 10 o'clock and not at 12 o'clock, that's what i'm talking about when i talk about the timetable, when i made that grave mistake during the debate, my the schedule is very busy, and what

was trump doing? trump drove around on... on golf carts and rested and so on, he is practically not responsible for anything, and i don't even know how much to say. i have 20 different events a day, sometimes thousands of people gather for these events , and i think it would be better, i generally, when i plan, for example, in go into politics or do sports... there is something else when people plan, you have to plan yours, spend your efforts thoughtfully, and i have to do the same, i'm not as young as i used to be, so that's what it was about, and besides, i really like my employees, and i

hide it from my wife that i really love my employees, but that's it. yes, associated press, you have the floor, two questions for you, what about your meeting with president zelensky during the nato summit, was it about that ukraine will be able to win the war if you do not raise the limit on the use of the american one. are not worried about this debate, they are worried about what the next night will be like in ukraine, and how can you reassure the american people that this situation

will change? first of all, i want to help zelensky to build up the force so that they beat russia, we... allow zelensky to use our weapons at close range in russia, and if he has the ability, for example, to shoot at moscow, is that the point , i don't think so, but it's better use. weapons, i know they have long-range weapons capabilities, and i work with my chief of staff, with the commander-in-chief, we

talk to them all the time, and we talk about how and what they can do and... or, i want to repeat the question, is it a question of foreign policy that you don't allow, or is it something else, a question of something else, well , first of all, is it a question of whether i can do my job, i've created over 200 jobs just in the last ones for the last week, i can't, for example, believe that it is a sign that i should stop doing what i'm doing, no, okay, what else do we have?

thank you mr. president, how are you doing, very good, the election in the united states will have repercussions all over the world, especially in europe, i recently asked president macron and he said they will be very happy. if you will be the president of the united states, but there are certain concerns, maybe people in poland or in other european countries are worried that the former president can win the election in america, and there are a lot of different concerns that donald trump might do a weaker nato, stop supporting ukraine or force ukraine to give up its territory. well yes you are right and even you yourself said that a few minutes ago so my question is do you think europe will be left

alone if trump wins this election and what would be your advice to european leaders to be prepared for the possible, perhaps withdrawal of the united states from world affairs, well, listen, er... er, how would i say it better, not to praise myself too much, so to speak, i know that, a lot, if the allies said to me, what listen joe, don't be bogged down, i would do it, but i hear the complete opposite, they tell me you have to win, and i... even with the various demonstrations and so forth, we know that the former president

doesn't know much about foreign policy, the people who support him also, and many people also in europe, and people in poland also... want to stop the aggressor, and i am the most qualified candidate, the candidate who will do everything for that , so that ukraine wins, and so that the alliance remains strong, the european alliance remains strong, and i i remember when i once spoke with putin, when he was just, when i was elected in geneva, and i spoke from the fields about the fact that... he told me that we cannot be in eastern europe, when he said that cannot go, ukraine

cannot become a member of nato, and i said then, then you will do everything so that finland becomes a member of nato, and i even invited him to my office, to the oval office, and we talked with him, with the swede . with the finns, and that's exactly what happened, i'm sorry for what you said, and finland decided, after that, to join the nato, and they were our partners, but they were not members of nato, and they have now become a member of nato, and i... can i repeat all the words, but they said that we, finland and the people of finland, decided to become part of nato, because we decided that when we are

together, we can repel attacks better, the same thing happened in sweden, some people, for example, in turkey and others took time to agree, so to speak. on sweden joining nato, but nato, but sweden decide, they will be safer, and 50, 55 different nations or countries support ukraine and want to attract ukraine to europe, including south korea, and we talked about relations with australia, with japan. with new zealand, with south korea, the united states, we thus, thanks to these alliances, we make the world safer, we improve security

in europe. and what will it change if nato does not act, and i am sure that people will follow me, we will only become stronger. thank you, mr. president. the nato declaration issued by the allies yesterday speaks of china as whoever is helping russia launch this war, it's a broad partnership that seems to have been developing for 2-3 years, you said some time ago. debated about it, and now

do you have a strategy for how to break the china-russia partnership, and as in the second term of the presidency, how would you approach that, and if you were in the room with putin again, like, say three years ago, or with president xi. if you could hold talks with them one-on-one in a few years, firstly, we also talked at the nato summit, i raised this issue, and others talked about the possible involvement of china, about their interaction with russia, that they are helping russia, they

are not providing weapons. but they provide the mechanisms, and china's position is basically, and i think i 'm speaking in most impingem, more than any other leader, when i was vice president, 90 hours, i spent with him, in general, everybody believes that china such a big market. any country, including europeans, they can persuade, invest and enforce to ensure that europe does not do abc, or took certain steps, and we must make sure that china understands that if they will give russia information about the capabilities and...

work with north korea and other countries to help russia, then they will not receive this economic advantage, these investments do not receive, for example, we have renewed direct communication with china, we have created a new one. a mechanism where there is a direct line between xi and me, and there is also a link between the military, if there are problems, they can use it, you have to convince, ensure that everyone understands that there is a price, that he will pay the price if he creates unrest in the pacific basin as well as in

europe. in terms of russia and ukraine, for example , if you want to invest in china, you know this region, then there must be a chinese co-owner of 51%, and you have no authority, you, you must provide access to all the data that you have, and ... this is what we did to pass the administration, under this administration, we looked at this market, there are a lot of people, it's a big market, they did it, but...
