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

Please.

António Guterres 00:00:01-00:00:03 (2 sec)

Can you repeat what I said?

Donald Trump 00:00:03-00:00:11 (8 sec)

You go ahead. That sounded very -- very nice. I loved that, actually.

António Guterres 00:00:11-00:00:14 (4 sec)

No, I -- I want to say that you are very much welcome, Mr. President.

Donald Trump 00:00:14-00:00:15 (1 sec)

Thank you.

António Guterres 00:00:15-00:00:47 (32 sec)

And, the United States was absolutely central in the founding of the UN. And for decades we have relied on the United States as our major political and financial support, thanks to the generosity of the American people, which we are very grateful about. On the other hand, I believe there are many areas where we can cooperate in a positive way, and I would think that the most important is peace.

António Guterres 00:00:47-00:00:51 (4 sec)

You have selected peace as a central objective of your mandate.

Donald Trump 00:00:51-00:00:51 (1 sec)

It's true.

António Guterres 00:00:51-00:01:24 (33 sec)

And you have been going north and south, east and west in all possible situations, getting or trying to get ceasefires, alleviating tensions, making peace agreements, or building blocks of peace agreements. And I want to reassure you that the United Nations, from me to our teams on the ground to our missions, we are entirely at your disposal to be able to work together for a just peace in the world based on our common values.

Donald Trump 00:01:24-00:01:26 (1 sec)

Thank you very much.

António Guterres 00:01:26-00:01:39 (14 sec)

The Constitution of the United States. And one thing is for me extremely important is that the suffering, the horrible suffering of millions of people in the world can be stopped. And we fully appreciate your engagement in that regard.

Donald Trump 00:01:39-00:01:58 (19 sec)

Thank you very much. It's always an honor to be here. We've done this before, and this was a little more exciting because of the escalator and the teleprompter. But these things happen. But I will tell you that your people have treated us with great respect. Our country is behind the United Nations, 100 percent.

Donald Trump 00:01:58-00:02:20 (22 sec)

I think the potential of the United Nations is incredible -- really incredible, it can do so much. So, I'm behind it. I may disagree with it sometimes, but I am so behind it because I think that the potential for peace with this institution is so great. So, I just want to thank you for treating us so warmly.

Donald Trump 00:02:20-00:02:22 (2 sec)

We very much appreciate being with you.

António Guterres 00:02:22-00:02:24 (1 sec)

Great pleasure.

Donald Trump 00:02:24-00:02:25 (1 sec)

Thank you very much.

António Guterres 00:02:25-00:02:28 (3 sec)

Thank you very much.
