frank and painfully awkward exchange that i think historians will still be talking about will still be talking about decades from now. check this out. >> well, if i didn't align myself with both of them, you'd never have a deal. you want me to say really terrible things about putin and then say, hi, vladimir, how are we doing on the deal? it doesn�*t work that the deal? it doesn't work that way. i'm aligned with putin. i'm not aligned with anybody. i'm aligned with the united states of america and for the good of the world. i'm aligned with the the world. i'm aligned with the world, and i want to get this thing over with. you see the hatred he's got for putin? it's very tough for me to make a deal with that kind of hate. he's got tremendous hatred, and i understand that. but i can tell you the other side is exactly in love with, you know, him either. so it's not a question of alignment. i have to i�*m aligned alignment. i have to i'm aligned with the world. i want to get with the world. i want to get the thing set. i�*m aligned with europe. i want to see if we can get this thing done. you want me

to be tough? i can be tougher than any human being you�*ve ever seen. i'd be so tough. but you're never going to get a deal that way. so that�*s the way it that way. so that's the way it goes. all right, one more goes. all right, one more question. >> i want to respond to this. so look, for four years, the united states of america, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about vladimir putin. and then putin invaded ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy. we tried the pathway of joe biden, of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the united states words mattered more than the president of the united states. his actions. what makes america a good country? is america engaging in diplomacy. that's what president trump is that�*s what president trump is doing. >> can i ask you? >> can i ask you? >> sure. yeah. yeah. >> sure. yeah. yeah. >> okay. >> okay. >> so he. >> so he. >> occupied it. our parts, big parts of ukraine, parts of east and crimea. so he occupied it on

2014. so during a lot of years 2014. 50 during a lot of years i�*m not speaking aboutjust i�*m not speaking about just biden, but those times was obama, then president obama, then president trump, then president biden, now president trump. and god bless. now president trump will stop him. but during 2014, nobody stopped him. he just occupied and took he killed people. you know what the contact was. >> 15. >> 15. >> 2014. >> 2014. >> 2014, 2014. >> 2014, 2014. >> yeah. 50 he. >> yeah. so he. >> yeah. so he. >> was not here. >> was not here. >> yeah, but. exactly right. yes. >> but during 2014 till 2022, you know what the situation the same that people are been dying on the contact line. nobody stopped him. you know that we had conversations with him, a lot of conversations, my bilateral conversation. and we signed with him me like a new president in 2019, i signed with him the deal i signed with him,

him the deal i signed with him, macron and merkel. we signed ceasefire, ceasefire. all of ceasefire, ceasefire. all of them told me that he will never go. we signed him gas contract. go. we signed him. gas contract. gas contract. yes. but after that, he broken the ceasefire. he killed our people and he he killed our people and he didn't exchange prisoners. we signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. what kind of diplomacy? jd you are speaking about? what do you. what do you. what do you mean? >> i�*m talking about the kind of >> i'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country. >> yes, but if you, mr president. >> mr president, with respect, i think it's disrespectful for you think it�*s disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. you should be thanking the president for. >> who you. >> who you. >> bring into this. >> bring into this. >> have you ever been to ukraine that you. >> say, what problems we have? >> say, what problems we have? >> i have been to. >> i have been to. >> come once. >> come once. >> i have actually. i've actually watched and seen the stories and i know what happens
