As far as i can see there is now no trust in the United States and vice versa. No trust. That becomes very difficult because as you said and i told president reagan, without trust there is no talk. There is nothing. That, i consider very, very serious and i do not know right now how we can fix and although i know we have to try. We really have to try.
