You know, I think people might remember that Ukraine already has some experience with the U.S. holding back military aid. In 2023, Trump directed Republicans in Congress to stall a multibillion-dollar package which had been proposed by the Biden administration. Can you just remind us what happened then?

Danielle, thinking about my time as a White House correspondent, and my recollection is that the presidents usually ask Congress to do something.

And the speech is also coming on the heels of that just remarkable, you know, contentious meeting last week with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, you know, that fight in the Oval Office that we've talked so much about. Do you have a sense of whether Trump is going to address that in these remarks tonight?
