00:00This second term, I think everyone is used to that, but still, Trump is unpredictable,
00:07so they're nervous about that.
00:09But I think they know a bit better now how to work with someone who comes at them from
00:14such a different angle.
00:16And of course, the main point that Trump makes is Europe's got to do more, got to spend more
00:21on their own defense.

00:30And so you'll hear that from Trump as well.
