00:40As your audience is aware, we've got the Israel Gaza war ongoing.
00:44We've got U.S. negotiations with Iran, as we all speak.
00:47And so the president has shared, again, that he is happy to bring American resources to the table.
00:56And the United States has invested a tremendous amount of resources.
