00:00Today is the first step of a long and difficult journey, but an important one.
00:04And President Trump is committed to bringing an end to this conflict,
00:07as he said when he campaigned for president.
00:09And he wants it to end in a way that's fair.
00:11He wants it to end in a way that's sustainable and enduring,
00:14not that leads to another conflict in two to three years.
00:17That's not going to be easy to achieve.
00:18In order to bring an end to any conflict, there has to be concessions made by all sides.
00:22We're not going to predetermine what those are.
00:24We're certainly not going to negotiate this today or in a press conference, for that matter.
00:29And there are other parties that have sanctions.
00:31The European Union is going to have to be at the table at some point
00:34because they have sanctions as well that have been imposed.
00:37But I guess the point here is the goal is, and we agreed on what the goal is,
00:42the goal is to bring an end to this conflict in a way that's fair, enduring, sustainable,
00:46and acceptable to all parties involved.
00:49What that looks like, well, that's what the ongoing engagement is going to be all about.
