00:00Mr. President, on the subject of U.S. troops stationed in Europe,
00:05do you have any plans to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Europe or in other NATO countries?
00:10Well, good. I mean, it depends.
00:13We pay for military over in Europe.
00:15We don't get reimbursed by much.
00:18South Korea, too.
00:20So it would be one of the things we discussed.
00:22That's unrelated to trade, but I think we'll make it part of it because it makes sense.
00:27It would be nice to wrap it all up in one package for each country.
00:30You know, it's nice and clean, and we have plenty of law firms.
00:33These are great law firms that we signed with, the best.
00:37And I think part of the way I'll spend some of the money that we're getting from the law firms,
00:41you know, in terms of their legal time, will be, if we can do it, I think we can do it,
00:47using these great law firms to represent us with regard to the many, many countries that we'll be dealing with.
00:54We'll have good lawyers representing us, but we want to have good lawyers.
00:56And these are the best, considered the best lawyers in the world, right?
01:00I mean, considered the best in the world.
01:02I don't know.
01:03They just went off a little bit.
