Look, this issue is very controversial. First, as a principle for my country, for the state of Qatar, we see unilateral sanctions are ineffective. And it's punishment of punishing the people, not punishing a country or a regime. That's number one.

Yes, yeah. I mean, if it would lead to a result, we wouldn't be in that situation until now.

So just going back, sanctions, what does it create? It pressures the people. It starves them. It creates black markets. It creates a whole illegal system. If the sanctions are coming out of the U.S., it actually prevents all the U.S. interests or companies to have business and lose the opportunities for other countries. So I don't see a world where the sanctions work.

Honestly, for us, as I told you, it's a core principle in our foreign policy. We refuse, we don't support sanctions at all. And sanctioning countries I'm talking about. And sanctioning countries is just making the situation much worse.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I think it's mainly it's sold in different means, in different currencies. And look, Tucker, I recall when The Russian sanction came out at the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine. I had an interview in one of the US media channels and I said very clearly that sanctions will only create a parallel marketplace for other currencies.

So the dollar dominated international currency, you will start to see people moving, countries moving away from that. Yes. By the time. So it won't benefit. It won't benefit. It won't get you what you want. It's the contrary. That's basically what's been, you know, at the end, like any country like Venezuela, for example, or Iran, they need to survive. They need to feed their people.

They need to survive. get, you know, at least the basic requirements that they want. They will find ways to sell their oils. They will find ways to use other currencies. They will find markets who will accept them and, you know, selling them and buying from them. And that's basically you created like a parallel market. And that's what I've been saying.
