Q: What would it take to force Zelenskyy and Putin to sit down together, maybe with you?

Trump on the expiring nuclear arms reduction agreement between the U.S. and Russia in 6 months:

That's a big problem for the world when you take off nuclear restrictions.

That's not an agreement you want to expire. We're starting to work on that. 3/

Trump: Hamas pulled out of negotiating in Gaza. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it's very bad. 4/

Q: Macron said France will recognize the Palestinian state. Is it counterproductive?

Trump: What he says doesn't matter. It's not going to change anything.

He's a very good guy, I like him, but his statement doesn't carry any weight. 5/

Q: What do you think of the trade deal with the EU?

Trump: We have a 50/50 chance, maybe less, of making a deal with the EU. It'll be a deal where they have to buy down their 30% tariffs. 6/

Trump: We made a deal with Japan. Japan is putting up $550B to lower their tariffs, and they are also open for free trade with the U.S.

Maybe we get such a deal with the EU. 7/

Q: Do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would apply to Obama?
