Ukraine: Trump revealed that he has communicated with Zelensky about the situation in Ukraine and asked the Ukrainian side to stop attacking Russia's diesel fuel supply. Irish Unification: Trump continued to discuss the issue of Irish unification, saying that the merger of Northern Ireland and Ireland is "a natural thing," and that his previous remarks on the matter were "quite normal." UK North Sea Oil and Gas Development: Trump urged the UK to relax restrictions on oil and gas development in the North Sea, saying that if the UK further opens up North Sea oil resources, its economy will improve markedly; if it continues to restrict development, the UK government could "go bankrupt." II.
