Donald Trump 00:01:17-00:01:30 (13 sec)

Donald Trump 00:01:42-00:01:44 (1 sec)

Infinite.

Question 00:01:44-00:01:46 (3 sec)

It's a deadlock. It's a deadlock.

There's no timeline, that it's forever.

It's a deal that's forever.

Question 00:01:57-00:01:59 (2 sec)

Donald Trump 00:01:59-00:02:11 (12 sec)

No, anyway. I mean, people are safe. What happens is, uh, people are out there and they're working it right now. They're working the details of the deal, but it's in, it's what's called an infinite deal. It's forever.

Question 00:02:11-00:02:12 (1 sec)

You talked about --

Donald Trump 00:02:12-00:02:12 ( sec)

[Inaudible]

Question 00:02:12-00:02:23 (11 sec)

When you talked about being concerned, Mr. President, about Russia trying to come and take over Greenland. If you're worried that Putin would do something like that, why invite him to join your Board of Peace?

Donald Trump 00:02:23-00:02:40 (17 sec)

Because we want everybody. We want all nations. We want all nations where people have control, people have power. That way we're not, never gonna have a problem. This is the greatest board ever assembled, and everybody wants to be on it. But, yeah, I have some controversial people on it, but these are people that get the job done.

Donald Trump 00:02:40-00:03:02 (22 sec)

These are people that have tremendous influence, and, you know, but put all babies on the board, there wouldn't be very much, so he was invited. He's accepted. Uh, many people have accepted. I think, I don't know of anybody that hasn't accepted, but it's gonna be great. I think the Board of Peace will be the most prestigious board ever, and it's gonna get a lot of work done that the United Nations should have done.

Donald Trump 00:03:02-00:03:17 (15 sec)

And we'll work with the United Nations, but the Board of Peace is gonna be special. We're gonna have peace. It started off with Gaza, the Middle East. We've got peace in the Middle East, tremendous peace in the Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible. And that happened by taking out the Iran nuclear threat.

Donald Trump 00:03:17-00:03:29 (11 sec)

Without that, it could have never happened. But the board is gonna be, I think, really fantastic. And I think it'll be the most prestigious board of any board ever in world. Thank you very much.

Question 00:03:29-00:03:32 (3 sec)

Thank you, Mr. President.
