00:00Now what we'll do is we're going to take two questions from American reporters and two

00:06question each from two American reporters and a question each from two Ukrainian supporters

00:11reporters. The first person I'm to call on is Colleen Long of the Associated Press.

00:22Thank you. Thanks Mr. President. About two weeks ago you changed course to allow Ukraine to fire

00:29U.S. weapons into Russia. Given the reported successes, would you consider further expanding

00:34the parameters on U.S. weapons into Russia even despite your concerns about escalation?

00:39And on the news from home, you're going through something that so many American families go

00:43through, the intersection of addiction and the criminal justice system, but you're not like most

00:49families. Was your son able to get a fair trial? Do you believe the Justice Department operated

00:54independently in politics? And for President –

00:58Let me answer your question and you ask his question, okay? With regard to the first question,

01:14Ukraine, that it makes a lot of sense for Ukraine to be able to take out or combat what is coming

01:21across that border. In terms of long-range weapons, longer-range weapons into the interior

01:28of Russia, we have not changed our position on that sort. With regard to the question regarding

01:34the family, I'm extremely proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. He is – he's one of

01:40the brightest, most decent men I know, and I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything I

01:48said – I abide by the jury decision, and I will do that, and I will not pardon him.
