Secretary Scott Bessent: "President Trump is the only person in the world—only person in the world—who can stop this conflict."
Video transcript
security guarantees go back to Friday of President Trump's meeting with President Putin in Alaska. And President Trump has wanted to end this conflict that never would have started if he had been president. And he convinced President Putin about the security guarantees, that it is a what the Europeans call "coalition of the willing." The U.S. will not have boots on the ground, may provide some kind of air support, satellite support, and then yesterday President Trump came in with a plan. He doesn't do these things randomly and he was he knew what he had to do with President Zelensky. It was a very good meeting. That wasn't flattery, the flattery argument on the part of NBC. Oh Laura please, you know it goes back to you know again in Alaska that President Trump made a mistake inviting President Putin on U.S. soil or the flattery. You know it's all the you know they're demeaning themselves because President Trump wants to be a peacemaker. He's done six peace deals. He knows how to do this. He went in with a plan. We had a long pregame in the Oval beforehand. He had a strategy the whole time and I don't think it's flattery. I actually think it's deference that because they understand that President Trump is the only person in the world, only person in the world who can stop this conflict.
