Unidentified Speaker

NO, WE CANNOT TELL WITH -- WE CANNOT TELL THE UNITED STATES WITH TO DO. THE PROGRESS MADE BY TECHNOLOGY IS CERTAINLY -- FRAME ON OUR. I HOPE YOU CAN ALLOW THEM TO USE OUR CRUDE -- VIS-A-VIS --


PRESIDENT TRUMP

I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, WHAT WE DISCUSSED TODAY WAS OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS GOING INTO NIGERIA, WHICH NIGERIA WANTS. WE HAVE CERTAIN BARRIERS THAT DON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. FOR THE GOOD OF OUR FARMERS, U.S. FARMERS, AND THE GOOD OF NIGERIA, AND ALL OF AFRICA. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WE ARE ABLE TO SELL OUR GREAT AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS INTO NIGERIA, AND THAT WILL HAPPEN, AND WE WILL BE WORKING ON THAT RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH, THANK YOU EVERYBODY.


PRESIDENT TRUMP

IT IS AN INTERESTING THOUGHT. WE ARE LOOKING AT VARIOUS COUNTRIES INCLUDING SINGAPORE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DMZ. PEACE HOUSE, FREEDOM HOUSE, AND HER SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTRIGUING, I THINK SOME PEOPLE MAY BE DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THAT AND SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT VERY MUCH. I THREW IT OUT TODAY AS AN IDEA. I ALSO TOLD PRESIDENT MOON, AND THROUGH PRESIDENT MOON WE CONNECTED WITH NORTH KOREA. THERE'S SOMETHING I LIKE ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU ARE THERE. IF THINGS WORK OUT THERE IS A GREAT CELEBRATION TO BE HAD. WE ARE LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF DOING IT. WE ARE LOOKING AT VARIOUS COUNTRIES, INCLUDING SINGAPORE. IT HAS THE CHANCE TO BE A BIG EVENT. THE UNITED STATES, I WAS TALKING TO JOHN BOLTON. THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER BEEN CLOSER TO POTENTIALLY HAVING SOMETHING HAPPEN WITH RESPECT TO THE KOREAN PENINSULA THAT CAN GET RID OF THE -- OF THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS, CREATE SO MANY POSITIVE THINGS AND PEACE AND SAFETY FOR THE WORLD. I OFTEN SAY WHO KNOWS? MAY BE A LOT OF THINGS CHANGE. KIM JOHN THEN -- KIM JONG ONU HAS BEEN STRAIGHTFORWARD SO FAR. NHE'S TALKING ABOUT NO RESEARCH, NO LAUNCHING OF BALLISTIC MISSILES, NO NUCLEAR TESTING. HE HAS LIVED UP TO THAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT AS -- LOOKING AT THAT AS A POTENTIAL SITE. IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT WELL, THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES.


Unidentified Speaker

ARE YOU STILL CONFIDENT THAT THE SUMMIT WILL HAPPEN?


Unidentified Speaker

I THINK THEY VERY MUCH WANTED. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. PERSONALLY I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A SUCCESS. IF IT'S NOT A SUCCESS YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. IF IT'S NOT A SUCCESS I WILL RESPECTFULLY LEAVE. THANK YOU ALL, VERY MUCH.

Eagerly waiting for the bolded. I was in rampt attention for the period the whole thing lasted. The only other times I have done that was during Shagari's budget presentations to hear when the wind of austerity measures is declared over, and during IBB SAP broadcast waiting for the broadcast to end so one can join fellow protesting students in the street.

Whoa! Somebody old enough to talk to!
