Much appreciated. So now. in my visit with President Trump, I said. uh we very deeply appreciate. [clears throat]. the military aid that America has given. us over the years. But here too we've. come of age and we've developed. incredible capacities and and our.

economy which will soon reach certainly. within a decade it'll reach about a. trillion dollars. It's not a huge. economy but it's not a small economy. So, I want to taper off the military aid. within the next 10 years. That's not. saying that I don't want to fight for. the allegiance and support of the. American people. I do. You have to be. crazy not to. Uh, and it's something. deep. It's not. >> You want to taper it off to zero within. 10 years. >> Yes.
