00:00On a monthly basis. It's boring. It's already started because they put tariffs on and eventually it's going to straighten out and our country will be solid and strong again.
00:09Elon Musk has said he hopes for zero tariffs between the U.S. and Europe. Is that a place you'd like to also get to?
00:15Well, the problem is that Europe has made a fortune with us. You know, Europe also has had a tremendous surplus with the United States.
00:23Europe has treated us, it's a little smaller, but they've treated us very, very badly.
00:29China has, but Europe has also. Europe has been very, very bad to us. Europe has taken our leaders for a ride.
00:37They don't take our cars. They don't take our food products. They don't take anything.
00:43And we take their cars, Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW. You know, we take their millions of cars.
00:49They take no cars. They don't take our farm product. They don't take anything.
00:54Europe's treated us very badly. We put a big tariff on Europe. They are coming to the table.
00:59They want to talk, but there's no talk unless they pay us a lot of money on a yearly basis.
01:05Number one for present, but also for past, because they've taken a lot of our wealth away and we're not going to allow it to happen.
01:13Sir, have you talked to any tech leaders over the weekend about the tariffs?
01:16Yeah, I talked to the biggest in the world. I talked to the biggest of them all.
01:22Not many of them, but I've talked to, I would say, four or five that are considered the biggest.
01:29You know what they said? We don't blame you.
01:33Who did you talk to?
01:35I don't want to say. I'll put it out. I may give it to you.
01:38Did he see you?
01:39I have to find out if they mind. You know, I don't know if that was a confidential call or not, but we had five or six.
01:45I've spoken to many countries. They all want to do just so you understand the power of what I'm doing.
01:50Every country is calling and being very solicitous of us. Very, very nice and being very nice.
01:57And we have to be able to justify. This is not sustainable.
02:04The United States can't lose $1.9 trillion on trade.
02:10We can't do that and also spend a lot of money on NATO in order to protect European nations.
02:16We cover them with military. Then we lose money on trade.
02:20The whole thing is crazy. And I got elected on that basis. We explained it.
02:25You know, the American people understand it a lot better than the media, but the media understands it.
02:31And much of the media writes correctly about it, I must say.
