00:00I don't have a message for President Trump because I know him well.
00:18I worked in my previous role as this prime minister for four years with him.
00:22I know that he understands completely and agrees with me that this fight in Ukraine
00:29is not only about Ukraine, it's also about the safety and the future security of the
00:35United States.
00:36He knows this.
00:37We also know that in the US, in Congress and in the Senate, there is broad bipartisan support
00:42for this.
00:43So really, stop worrying about a Trump presidency.
00:47We do not know who will win.
00:49I will work with Kamala Harris if she is chosen.
00:51I will work with Donald Trump when he will be chosen.
00:54But you're not worried about President Trump withdrawing support for Ukraine?
00:57I'm not worried about that because I'm absolutely convinced that the US is in this because they
01:03understand that it's not only for Ukraine, but also for them.
01:06And that from Washington to San Francisco, the whole of the US would be less secure if
01:13Putin would be successful in Ukraine.
