00:00this time.

00:01Philip.

00:03Two questions.

00:04First, just a follow-up on the readouts from those calls.

00:05When it comes to the discrepancies between the U.S. and Russian readout of that call

00:06between President Trump and Putin, is it the President's assessment that something is

00:07getting lost in translation, or does he believe that the Russians are trying to play a game

00:08here?

00:09No.

00:10The President believes in his team that put the readout out, and he also put his own

00:11out on Truth Social.

00:12We've been incredibly transparent about all of the President's calls with foreign leaders,

00:13and again, I would defer you to the readout.

00:14And then, just a follow-up on that.

00:15Do you believe that the Russians are trying to play a game here?

00:16No.

00:17The President believes in his team that put the readout out, and he also put his own

00:18out on Truth Social.

00:19We've been incredibly transparent about all of the President's calls with foreign leaders,

00:20and again, I would defer you to the readout.

00:21And then, following up on...

00:22Michael.

00:23Thank you, Stephanie.

00:24Caroline, White House said yesterday that gas prices across the U.S. have fallen for

00:25the fourth straight week, 34 states now seeing gas under $3 a gallon.

00:26This limited cease-fire with Ukraine regarding oil refineries, energy, will that affect the

00:27U.S. economy?

00:28Will that affect the economy of the United States?

00:29Will that affect the economy of the United States?

00:30And then, just a follow-up on that.

00:31Do you believe that the Russians are trying to play a game here?

00:32No.

00:33The President believes in his team that put the readout out, and he also put his own

00:34out on Truth Social.

00:35Well, it's certainly the President's hope that gas prices will continue to fall, and

00:53he's working every single day to ensure that we do.

00:56As you just mentioned, there's been very encouraging data.

00:59Inflation is cooling and gas prices are falling.

01:01The President has established a National Energy Dominance Council, and it's ultimately

01:05the President's goal.

01:06And this administration is working hard on it every single day to increase our energy

01:10production right here in the United States of America, to have it trump energy boom like

01:15we saw in our first term, which will not only lead to lower fuel prices here at home, but

01:19also lessen the rate of inflation that was created by the previous administration.
