00:00I'd like to ask you, first of all, what your assessment is of the Trump administration's

00:05efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

00:06So, Tom, I will say that the Trump administration has put a higher priority on ending the war

00:12than the previous administration.

00:15President Trump, as we remember, famously said he was going to solve it, he was going

00:19to resolve it in 24 hours, which, of course, no one thought that was actually possible.

00:23But that did indicate that there's a high priority, a sense of urgency to this, which

00:29we didn't have before.

00:30Previously, we were providing weapons and ammunition and intelligence, but we weren't

00:37engaged in bringing the war to an end.

00:41And President Trump is.

00:43That could be a good thing.

00:44He can bring some pressure on, certainly, President Putin to be able to end this war.
