Sirill is from France. Did you watch the fight? Yeah. Not indirect, but I saw it this morning. That was a great fight. It was a great evening at the White House. Very proud. Thank you. I will say a few words in French. I wanted to say I mean to commend President Trump for celebration yesterday and to welcome President Trump and the ministers and his team for being here in Evan for the G7. I think yesterday was signed a very important uh agreement, a peace deal with Iran and it's a very important one because first it will uh fix the nuclear issue. First, it will fix the nuclear issue and it's a very important matter for
peace for the whole world and uh and it will reopen almost it will provide peace in Lebanon and so we are ready to uh take our fair share of the burden and be part of the commitment of the international community in order to support this deal and we will discuss about that together and with colleagues later on but it's a very important step towards peace but as well for global economy. We will have the occasion to discuss about the war in Ukraine in order to re-engage together and negotiate a good and solid peace and sustainable peace. And President Zalinski will be with us as well tomorrow. And obviously we will have the occasion to bring this G7 to speak about a series of issues from rare earth, critical minerals, trade etc.
where we have to build convergence among the G7 members and it will be the occasion for us to celebrate the 250 years of independence for the US and um and is a good place because this is where the king and his minister of foreign affairs at the time did support the US during years but as well prepared what we called the Paris treaty in 1783 which was I mean the final point correct of this war. So it's it's a great honor and a great pleasure to have you Mr. President and thank you. So u Emmanuel has been a special friend of mine. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've worked on many deals together. I'm very happy say very signed. The deal's all signed and the straight is already partially
opened. As you know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they've already found. Uh but it's essentially ships are starting to go out now. On Friday, it'll be completely opened. We got along very well with Iran. It's a different set of leaders. As you know, the first set is gone. The second set is gone. And we found the third set to be very smart, strong, very smart, but uh we ended up making a deal. Uh I felt badly that we had to go back on the attack for two nights and I thought a third, but we made it before that happened. But I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now. And very importantly, the oil is plummeting down
and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today. like record kind of numbers and the oil has taken its biggest plunge and we're into the low numbers not quite back yet Kevin to the extent but we're getting close to the numbers we were before it all started and the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon they fully agree to that with strong policing powers and they won't have a nuclear weapon which is what it was all about because they probably would have used it if they had it. So, we had two big moments when they terminated the JCPOA, that was the Obama deal, the Barack Hussein Obama deal. And when I terminated that, it was very important because it was a road to a
nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. It was a deal where 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing 7 well not a 77 757 I guess right but it was put on a big beautiful Boeing 757 they needed a Boeing 747 to be honest with you because it was a lot of cash 1.7 billion was taken out of the banks and given to Iran and on top of that tens of billions of dollars was paid so they tried to bribe them to make a deal. That didn't work. It never works. And uh we've done a great job and hopefully it's going to be a good relationship and we're going to get along. And if we don't, we go back to where we started, but I don't think that's going to be necessary. The uh the
Iran deal that we made is going to bring a lot of uh a lot of success to the world because the oil was really clogged up there for a while. He would call me on occasion say come on please let's go the oil prices but the oil is coming way down. So I'm very honored by it. Uh I want to thank you for your help. You've always been a help and it's an honor to be with you. We had a very good conversation yesterday with President Zalinski and President Putin. And I see maybe we can do something there. I really do. I think they're both open to it. So, I'm going to now that this is finished, we're going to be focusing on that. See if we can get that one done. 25,000 people a month are dying, mostly soldiers, and that
shouldn't happen. But had two very good conversations yesterday. We'll be talking about it. And we had a really exciting, I think maybe one of the most incredible evenings in the history of the White House. We had an evening last night with the fighters and I was very happy. I called last night, very late last night, to congratulate you because in the heavyweight division, a French fighter won. I don't know. Is that maybe more important than the World Cup? To some people it might be, but to some people it might be. You have a good team in the world. Very good team, but you have good fighters, too. And you're a great country, and it's an honor to be with you. Thank you very much. Hey.
Hey, sir. Are you going to try to attend the signing ceremony on Friday? Well, it depends. JD's coming in for it. He was originally going to do it. I'll probably be gone by then. We're having dinner in a day and a half, right? We're going to be staying quite late. So, I may be involved. I may not. But JD was coming in for that specifically. Mr. President, when will the text of theou be released? [snorts] I think pretty soon. Um, I would say I mean I want it to be released because it's a very powerful document. It's not like the Obama document which was just a terrible document. This is a very powerful document and I want it to be
released. So probably pretty soon I would say after sometime after Friday because the straight opens complet. It's open now but it opens completely. We have all the mines knocked out for the most part. We have a lot of lanes right now already, Mr. President. So I think sometime in the very near future. Yeah. Mr. President, does this does the deal involve any sanctions relief for Iran? When would that go into No, it doesn't. Well, they have to It's really a behavioral thing. If they do what they're supposed to do, that starts taking effect. on this other regarding the goal. Mr. President, what do you expect from France? And well, I would love them to do that.
I don't think we're going to need much help because we have an agreement where it's going to be open and it's tollfree. We had a little argument on that. It's tollfree. So, I don't think we're going to need much help, but I don't think it's a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries. You'd be a great country to do it because you never know what happens. But I think it's going to be open and I think it's going to be free sailing. We do want to see if we can straighten out the Lebanon the Lebanon thing because it just seems to just never end. And uh that's a mini version of what we were doing. But and it should not be tough. So we have to have a little talk with them.
