President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland

Trump: Thank you very much. It’s a great pleasure to have President Naraki with us — in Poland. He did a good job with that — right? Maybe a little different pronunciation. I said I want to get it perfect. Did I get it right? Yeah? Good, good. No, we’re okay. I better get it right.

And the President’s been, uh, amazing. He had an incredible race. He came from behind and he won very handily. The people of Poland have taken to him immediately; they really love him. There’s great love and respect. He’s a very successful man, but he — he went into a political “hatchet,” so to speak. It was a pretty tough race, pretty nasty race, and he beat them all — and he beat them all very easily. And now he’s become even more popular as they got to know him, and know him better. He’s doing a really fantastic job. Continue reading “President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Poland”

President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of the Republic of Korea August 25, 2025

President Trump:

Well, that’s a big crowd. This is a very large crowd. You get more than most countries, I have to say. This is a very good crowd of the media.

It’s an honor to be with President Lee of South Korea. Uh, we’ve known each other and gotten along very well. We have some additional trade because I hear they want to renegotiate the deal, but that’s okay. I don’t mind that. That doesn’t mean they’re going to get anything, but I don’t mind.

But we’re going to have some very serious discussions about different things, including trade, where we do a lot with South Korea, as you know. We’re thinking about contracting some ships. They build them very well in South Korea. They’re also thinking about coming to our country with some shipyards to start us on the process of building ships again. Do you know, in World War II, we’d build a ship a day? And today we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. We’re going to start that again.

We were like you—we were building ships all the time for everybody. And presidents and people allowed that to slip by. Now we buy ships, but we’re going to be buying ships from South Korea. We’re also going to have them make ships here, with our people, using our people, and we’re going to go back into the shipbuilding business again. Because, really, essentially, we don’t build ships anymore, which is ridiculous. How that ever happened—but we were the best at it.

President Trump Participates in a Multilateral Meeting with European Leaders

The President: Isn’t it just—it’s such an incredible place. Well, we’re building a big ballroom. Beautiful. Right here, if you go—it would be right through that. Right through here.

Male Speaker: (inaudible)

The President: It’s going to be—I’ll tell you, but it’s going to be fantastic, actually. You can let them come in. I think we’re going to have a successful talk today. Please, come on in. Do you guys want to take some questions or anything? Hi, Mark.

Well, thank you very much. It’s a great honor to have you here. A special place—the White House is special no matter where you’re from. It represents so much, and it truly is beautiful. And thank you for all of the wonderful things that took place today. We’ve had a very successful day thus far—important discussions as we work to end the killing and stop the war in Ukraine.

President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of Ukraine

The President: Well, thank you very much. It’s an honor to have the President of Ukraine with us. We’ve had a lot of good discussions and a lot of good talks, and I think progress is being made—very, very substantial progress in many ways. We had a good meeting, as you know, just a short while ago with the President of Russia, and I think there’s a possibility that something could come out of it. And today’s meeting is very important.

We have, I guess, the seven very powerful leaders from Europe, and we’re going to be meeting with them right after this meeting. And thank you very much for being here. Continue reading “President Trump Participates in a Bilateral Meeting with the President of Ukraine”

President Trump Participates in a Press Conference with the President of the Russian Federation

Announcer: — The President of the United States of America and the President of the Russian Federation.

President Putin: Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, our negotiations have been held in a constructive atmosphere of mutual respect. We had very thorough negotiations. They were quite useful. I would like to thank once again my American counterpart for the proposal to travel out here to Alaska.

It only makes sense that we’ve met here, because our countries—though separated by the oceans—are close neighbors. So when we met, when I came out of the plane, I said, “Good afternoon, dear neighbor. Very good to see you in good health and to see you alive.” I think that is very neighborly, and I think those are kind words we can say to each other.
