BREAKING NEWS: Trump Takes Multiple Questions From Reporters After Daytona 500 Visit

for so Daytona was fantastic the crowd was amazing people love that Sport and they're wonderful people that run it and they had a little rain delay but we'll go home and watch it I guess or some of you will and others will try and create peace throughout the world uh do you have any questions please sir could you speak to the secretary Rubio this morning I did what is the latest with the negotiations in Saudi Arabia what's the big we're moving along we're trying to get a peace with Russia Ukraine and we're working very hard

on it it's uh a war that should have never started you expect you expect zinsky to be involved in these conversations what will he I do he will be involved yes Mr President would you allow Europeans to buy us G weapons for ukrainians yeah that today that uh Russia is going to wage war on NATO do you you that do you have any concerns no I don't agree I don't agree not even not even a little bit vice president Vance said that the United States would potentially take military action against Russia if they won't come

to an agreement do you agree with that Stan I don't know if that's what he said I don't think he said that so based on your conversations based on your conversations with President Putin what do you think he wants ultimately I think he wants to stop fighting I see that uh we spoke long and hard uh Steve whof was with him for a very extended period like about 3 hours I think he wants to stop fighting they have a big powerful machine you understand that and uh they defeated Hitler and they defeated uh Napoleon you

know they've been fighting a long time they've done it before and but I think he'd like to I think he would like to stop fighting do you think he wants the hole of Ukraine or just like what do you think he wants no I think he wants to stop that was my question to him because if he's going to go on that would have been a big problem for us and that would have caused me a big problem because you just can't let that happen uh I think he wants to uh end it and they

want to end it fast both of them and zinsky wants to end it too sir when do you think that can actually happen when do you think the fighting can stop well we're working to get it done I mean you know it's too bad it started it would have been a lot easier to end it before it started right but it started because we had an incompetent president that he he didn't know what he was doing that should have never started that war was so easy to stop remember this that under Bush they took a

lot under Obama they took a lot under Biden they're trying to take the whole thing and under Trump they took nothing nothing nothing was gone not even a little bit so it's too bad it's really too bad a lot of people are dead right now that should be alive and a lot of cities are destroyed that can never come back like they were those beautiful golden domes and all of the multicolor domes that were a thousand years old they're all laying and you know just shattered so it's very sad they ruined the culture they're beginning

phase two of the ceas fire deal between Israel and Hamas uh what is what's going on there have you been briefed on the latest related well I told you I have been Bri I told uh BBE you do whatever you want because you know statement was they got to come back now the reason I made that statement because they said they weren't going to deliver they were not going to deliver the people that they said they were going to deliver that they agreed to deliver and they did agree to do that but they broke that

agreement when I made the statement they delivered everybody plus an American now the good news is they look like they're in pretty good shape because the people from the week before didn't look like they were in good shape they look like a Holocaust Survivors frankly horrible whatever happened to him was horrible uh but that'll be up to Israel what the next step is in consultation with me to use these weapons that you now allowed to be shipped the fact that there's fire supposed to be in effect peace through strength you understand that right it's called

peace through strength you know they contracted for those weapons a long time ago in the Biden Administration and and then Biden wouldn't deliver the weapons but I look at it differently I say peace through strength they were sitting there nobody knew what to do with them they bought them uh but I believe in that very strongly European Union has talking about banning food imports from the US kind of along the lines why is that why they don't like that's all right I don't mind let him do it let him do it they're just hurting themselves

that they did that I can't imagine it but doesn't matter we're having reciprocal tariffs whatever they charge we charge very simple if a certain country like India which is very high tariff if they charge us X dollars we charge them Exile all right it's a fair it's a fair thing to do even the media said it was fair and it's going to be very good for the United States on your timing of your meeting with Po in Saudi Arabia no we no time said but it could be very soon like this this month it'll be

soon we'll see what happens but they're meeting right now and that's more I mean this should have been done four years ago three years ago before it started but it should have been done immediately after it started as opposed to now 3 years later sir egg prices have reached an all-time high what's your egg prices have reached an alltime high flue it was a long before I ever got here it was an an all time this didn't remember I've been here for 3 weeks weeks and when you saw the inflation numbers I've been here for

three weeks I have had nothing to do with inflation this was caused by Biden I had four years of virtually no inflation so I'm just taking over but I'll tell you what this country has made more progress in the last 3 weeks than it's made in the last four years and we're respected again as a country thank you very much thank you all right let's go guys
