Remarks: Donald Trump Hosts a MAGA, Inc. Dinner at Mar-a-Lago - October 17, 2026

[Inaudible] You know what? We all got back from Kentucky. We had a big rally, a great rally in Kentucky and a lot of other great rallies. They've been following me for the last eight days and I think they're exhausted, actually.

Yes.

[Inaudible] It's so nice.

Can you tell us about your decision to waive the sanctions on Russia?

Say it?

Can you tell us about your decision to waive the right of the sanctions on Russia --

Well, you don't know what my decision is yet, but we'll figure it out and you'll figure it out. It's a very good decision and it's going to be a decision that's good for the country. And I think good for the world because we're really at a world stage. Uh, the Iran war is going very well. We have a lot of very good things that we're seeing.

And, uh, the country's doing phenomenally well. These are some of the biggest business leaders in the world and, uh, we're having a little dinner together at Mar-a-Lago, and we look forward to it. But I, I will tell you that there has never been a time where our country is so advanced. Some of you are at the leading edge, some of you are in that particular business where it's a leading edge.

But there's never been a time like it. And as I say all the time in the rallies and speeches -- and every leader in the world was saying this; the king of Saudi Arabia started it, but everybody -- they said, "A short time ago you were a dead country." We were a dead country. You go back two years, we were a dead country and now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world by far.

There's nobody close. So [Inaudible] thank you very much.

How should Ukraine [Inaudible] Mr. President?

Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you.

[Inaudible] say what beautiful skin I have. [Inaudible] Before we know it. I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.
