President Trump [Air Force One]: We told them [Ukraine] that the deal is we'll do something for the rare Earth, and some oil, etc, etc, and that'll be alright, and they agreed to it, more or less, and then Scott Bessent [Secretary of the Treasury] actually went there, and was treated rather rudely, because, essentially they told him, no, and Zelenskyy was sleeping and unavailable…he traveled many hours on the train, which is a dangerous trip, and we're talking about the Secretary of the Treasury. He went there to get a document signed, and when he got there, he came back empty, They wouldn't sign the document.
Reporter: Can you resurrect that deal [with Ukraine/Zelenskyy]?
President Trump: Yeah, I think I'm going to resurrect it. We'll see what happens. I'm going to resurrect it, or things are not going to make him [Zelenskyy] too happy. Look, it's time for elections. Haven't had election in a long time.It's wonderful to say, 'we can't have an election', but it's time for elections, and it's also time to find out what happened with all of the money. Because he made the statement that half of it, he doesn't know where it is, or something like that, and I'd like to find out; all the money that we've been sending to Ukraine, where in it?
President Trump: I think that we should govern District of Columbia. It's so important, the DC situation. I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order. Make it absolutely flawlessly beautiful, and I think we should take over Washington, DC. Make it safe. People are getting killed. People are being hurt. You have a great police department there, but somehow they aren't utilized properly. We should govern DC. I think the federal government should take over the governance of DC and run it really, really properly.
President Trump: We're looking at everything. We're going to go into Ft. Knox to make sure the gold is there…we hope everything's fine with Ft. Knox, but we're going to go to Ft. Knox, the fabled Ft. Knox, to make sure the gold is there. If the gold isn't there, we're going to be very upset.
