1. U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP STEPPING OUT FROM AIR FORCE ONE, DESCENDING THE STAIRS OF THE PLANE AND APPROACHING JOURNALISTS WAITING FOR HIM ON THE TARMAC

2. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, IN EXCHANGE WITH JOURNALIST (NOT ON CAMERA), SAYING:

JOURNALIST: “When you think of first Patriot missiles, some of these weapons that our allies will buy…”

TRUMP: “They're already being shipped.”

JOURNALIST: “From what countries?”

TRUMP: “They're coming in from Germany and then replaced by Germany. And in all cases, the United States gets paid back in full. So what's happening, as you know, is the European Union, if you look, mostly European Union stuff, but let's put it in the form of NATO, it's very similar, but NATO's going to pay us back for everything. In some cases, we're going to be paid back by countries of the European Union directly. We're always getting our money back in full. So we're not going to have any more investment to make. We're getting our money back in full. And if we can make a deal, that'd be great. We're saving five or 6,000 soldiers a week. They're Russian and they're Ukrainian soldiers. They're not American soldiers. And we won't have boots on the ground. But it's a shame.”

4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP, IN EXCHANGE WITH JOURNALIST (NOT ON CAMERA), SAYING:

JOURNALIST: “Are you concerned that secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil will hurt American consumers?”

TRUMP: “I don't think so. I think that whole thing is going to go away eventually. It should have gone away. And Putin does say, I want peace. I want peace. But so far, he hasn't lived up to that. So I think it's going to go away. But we're going to find out soon.”
