00:00Is the President still considering pressuring Russia with sanctions or tariffs to try to
00:05get a full ceasefire?
00:06And is there any kind of deadline or timeline that the White House has in mind for when
00:11that pressure might ramp up?
00:12Again, the President had a nearly two-hour-long call with President Putin yesterday.
00:17We provided a readout of that call, and we have his negotiating team heading to the Middle
00:21East this week to continue these discussions in regards to sanctions and any other details.
00:26I'm not going to give a readout of those from this podium.
00:28And on TikTok, is Oracle the leading contender for a deal, and would the U.S. back a deal
00:33that keeps TikTok's algorithm and the underlying technology still in Chinese hands?
00:37As President Trump does so well, we don't get ahead of ourselves when we are in the
00:41midst of the art of the deal.
00:43So when the President and his team are ready to announce a deal on TikTok, which is a high
00:48priority for the President, we will make that known.
00:50I've seen that reporting, but I'm not going to comment on it just yet.
