We discussed it with the teams. And yesterday we confirmed it with the US President that we will have strong security guarantees from the US. Indeed, now it is not forever. In the documents, it is for 15 years with the possibility of extending these security guarantees. I raised this issue with the President. I told him that we still have a war going on. And it's almost 15 years old. And therefore, I really wanted the guarantees to be longer. And I told him that we would very much like to consider the possibility of 30, 40, 50 years. And then it will be a historic decision of President Trump. The President said he would think about it.
