00:01We very much understand that, but we do believe that we can announce some deals very
00:04soon.
00:05And then on Russia, can you say, did Russia agree to anything with Special Envoy
00:08Steve Witkoff?
00:09MS.
00:10I don't want to get ahead of those negotiations as well.
00:14What I can tell you is that they were – a productive conversation was had.
00:18As the presidential envoy, Steve Witkoff, said last night, he believes that Russia wants
00:24to end this war, and the President believes that as well.
00:26There is incentive for Russia to end this war, and perhaps that could be economic partnerships
00:32with the United States, but we need to see a ceasefire first.
00:35And the President and the presidential envoy, Witkoff, made that very clear to the Russians.
00:39Gabe.

00:41MS.
00:42Yeah.
