'Our nation is making progress, there's more to do, and we can work more with Europe, so there's an area right there that some would have said we wouldn't have anything to talk about, and we have a lot to talk about.'

'We'll see if he cannot only, sort of convince the Europeans of the benefits of missile defense but if he's also prepared to listen to the European concerns on, on global warming, and if he's prepared to amend his policies accordingly.'
