00:00I don't think he will. I think he wants to make peace.
00:04I think he wants to end it.
00:06And I feel pretty confident of that.
00:08But we're going to know pretty soon.
00:10Do you have meetings with other world leaders when you're in Rome?
00:16Yes, I will.
00:17Which leaders do you want to meet, sir?
00:19Well, I'd like to meet them all.
00:21That would be nice. I'd like to take care of all of them.
00:24But we have many of them there and they all want to meet.
00:27They want to meet about trade.
00:29And we are making some great inroads and great deals.
00:33You might want to speak about that, Mr. Secretary.
00:35We had a very successful bilateral meeting with the Republic of South Korea today.
00:40We may be moving faster than I thought.
00:44And we will be talking technical terms as early as next week
00:49as we reach an agreement on understanding as soon as next week.
00:53So South Koreans came early.
00:55They came with their A game.
00:57And we will see if they follow through on that.
01:01We will go around with Dr. McCurthy.
01:04Thank you for coming back now.
