Thank you very much. We all know the great Prime Minister of the UK and we just signed a document. This is. Sorry about that.
A very important document.
Little windy out here. Give me that. We just signed it and it's done. And so we have our trade agreement with the European Union and it's fair deal for both and it produces a lot of jobs, a lot of income and we have other, many, many other ones coming. But you see the level of enthusiasm is very good, but the relationship that we have is fantastic. So I just want to congratulate you.
Donald, on car tariffs and aerospace, our really important agreement. And so this is a. A very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength. So thank you again, Donald. A really important day for both of us.
Great people.
This is implementing.
Can I ask you a question?
Please.
These southern leaders are calling for de escalation in Israel and Iran. But you are the key to unlocking that.
That's right. And here I am.
And here you are. When might you speak to.
I've spoken to everybody. Israel is. 60 days and they said no. And the 61st you saw what happened day 61. So I'm in constant touch and as I've been saying, I think a deal will be signed or something will happen, but a deal will.
Netanyahu of attacking them to deliberately derail your nuclear plan. What do you say to that? Do you think that's.
No, no, they look, Iran should have signed the deal.
If it would help bring Iran to the negotiating table, would you guarantee that the US would not get involved militarily?
Well, I think this, I think Iran basically is at the negotiating table. They want to make a deal and as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something, but I have to leave here. I have, you know, this commitment. I have a lot of commitments. I have a commitment to a lot of countries, including the UK where we just signed our deal.
Mr. President, would we. Where are you settling on steel tariffs with respect to UK going to zero.
Or they think we're going to. We're going to let you have that information in a little while.
On U.S. russia talks.
When will they restart?
They're starting already. Mr. President, regret the European push to.
To apply more sanctions on Russia to the U.S. support that?
Well, Europe is saying that, but they haven't done it yet. Let's see them do it first.
Earlier that year you could sanction Russia. Why wait? Why wait?
Because I'm waiting to see whether or not a deal is signed.
Can you guarantee the UK Won't be sufficient.
And don't forget. Amount of money. It's not just let's sign a document. You're talking about billions and billions of dollars. Sanctions are not that easy. It's not just a one way street.
Yep, we're proceeding with that. It's a really important deal to both of us. I think the President is doing a review. We did a review when we came into government so that makes good sense to me. But it's a really important.
We're very longtime partners and allies and friends and we've become friends in a short period of time. He's slightly more liberal than.
There are quite a few British voters who worry side war with the Russians over the Ukraine war. Can you reassure.
No, I don't. I just, you know what I side on saving lives. I only care about saving lives. We have nothing to do with it except that Biden stupidly let us get into that mess and gave them $350 billion. 350 billion. And yet despite that you saw how we. Around that number going to be invested in the US So the money is not the thing in this case. It's. And they're Russian. So you could say what am I doing? But I'd like to see if I could stop.
I don't think that Israel can fully eliminate the threat that Iran poses this nuclear threat that they pose without the United States military policy.
Who said that?
No, I'm asking if you believe they can.
Well it doesn't. It's irrelevant. Something's going to happen.
Mr. President, would you consider traveling to the Mideast as part of any talks.
If there's a melt broker in the U.S. yeah, yeah. But I think we're doing pretty well. We're talking. We have a thing called a telephone. So we're talking but it's always better to talk in person.
Mr. President, do you want to see.
A crazy chain in Iran?
I want to see no nuclear weapon in Iran. And we're well on our way to making sure that happens.
And we've had a discussion about that this morning. There's a in the G7 absolute clarity in relation to the nuclear program. We do not want to see it.
Mr. President, do you have a response.
To what's about any future tariffs?
What can you guarantee the UK will.
Be protected from any future tariffs?
The UK is very well protected. You know why? Because I like them. That's why. That's their ultimate protection. Thank you very much. The Prime Minister has done a great job. I want to just tell that to the people of the United Kingdom. He's done a very, very good job. You know, he's done what other people. They've been talking about this deal for six years, right? Six years. And he's done what they haven't been able to do. So he's done. I don't know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen. Thank you. A lot of them could happen. What else?
