00:00The Press on Zelensky.
00:02You know, the last meeting you had was pretty rough.
00:05Do you sense a different attitude now?
00:07And it's so wild.
00:08I do.
00:09I see him as calmer.
00:11I think he understands the picture.
00:14And I think he wants to make a deal.
00:16I don't know if he wanted to make a deal.
00:18I think he wants to make a deal.
00:20Thank you, sir.
00:21Good job.
00:22Good question.
00:23Did you talk to anyone about tariffs yesterday?
00:24Did any foreign leaders approach you and ask?
00:26I did, and you probably saw.
00:27I think every foreign leader approached me and said hello,
00:30and a lot of good relationships.
00:33And we're going to be taking in a tremendous amount of money.
00:37We're going to be taking in a lot of jobs,
00:39a lot of plants and factories.
00:41They're already coming.
00:42I mean, you see it.
00:43And we're going to make a lot of money,
00:45and we're going to cut taxes for the people of this country.
00:48It'll take a little while before we do that.
00:50But we're going to be cutting taxes.
00:52And it's possible we'll do a complete tax cut,
00:55because I think the tariffs will be enough to cut all of the income tax.
00:59Now, we have a lot of debt that's been left to us,
01:02you know, unfortunately, over many years.
01:04We'll take care of that.
01:05But the tariffs â if people only understood the tariffs,
01:10we're going to be giving people of this country a tremendous tax cut.
01:14And we're going to start with people making less than $200,000 a year.
01:18The Press, a little bit.
01:20Look, a little bit.
01:21They want to make a deal, obviously.
01:23Right now, they're not doing business with us.
01:25You know, people talk about going cold turkey with China.
01:27Meaning just forget about it.
01:28And we were losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year with China.
01:33And now, they're not doing any business with us, you know?
01:35Because â not because of them.
01:36Because of me.
01:37Because at 145 percent, you can't do business.
01:40you know because not because of them because of me because at 145 percent you can't do business
01:47but something's going to happen that's going to be possible
