I think the idea that it's about ignorance is misplaced. I think the idea that you don't kill, you don't rape, you don't destroy someone's house is pretty obvious to everyone. There are interpretations, as you're suggesting, which are being developed, which are stretching the law beyond what it really means.

And I think it would be important for such a meeting as the one here and other meetings to re-emphasise this. There's one other aspect which is maybe important in both the Russian context and the Israeli-Gaza context.

The president has chosen to use Oscars week to serve a cliffhanger of a drama on the tariffs, followed by a very dramatic ending, but one that I think will have severe negative ramifications for business, including in the United States. This is a deeply interconnected economic area in North America, backed by 40 plus years of policy integration.

And I think what we see very clearly from the modelling, economists tend to disagree on many things, but everyone agrees that this is a lose, lose, lose scenario.

A little earlier Mr. Trump said in a post on social media that the United States wouldn't put up with Mr. Zelenskys position on a ceasefire for much longer. Our North America correspondent Nomi Iqbal is in Washington. Nomi has been telling me the President's comments didn't come as a surprise.
