This will be such a blessing, not only for this region, but I have to say for our country too, the United States. I agree. And so this is really the key moment. And I think Trump's instincts are there. And what he says, we didn't even hear Biden or other presidents say. President Trump said many times about Ukraine, too many people are dying. You didn't even hear those words.
