-- Trump was asked about the FED holding rates.
"It's alright," Trump said.
He was asked about the Fed maybe even raising rates.
"It's hard to believe. It just keeps the country down and it's so, it's so, unusual. But we have a very good guy over there right now so I'm guided by what he wants."
Q: Do we have any clarity on when the deal will be signed?
Trump: "I'd say 48 hours."
Q: And it's going to be Vance?
Trump's response was not audible but he appeared to shake his head yes.
"I'd say 48 hours," Trump said. He said he hadn't determined the location for the ceremony. "It's in final form."
Q: How long will you leave the U.S. military in the gulf?
"Good question. We haven't thought of it," Trump said. "But probably a while.'
"I'd say a little while. I think it's going to go well."
