sessions you are very tough negotiator, however, i'm not sure like that, but that's okay. very, very special person. the prime minister i've gotten off to an outstanding start the us and u. k. of a special relationship. very special. really like no other pass down through the centuries and we're going to keep it that way. we're going to keep it very strong as it is. very important delay. i was just notified by letter from king charles that he's extended through the prime minister, a historic 2nd to state visit to the united kingdom. and that's a great honor because it's never happened before. one person has never been extended that on or and i really do call it in honor, but it's not for me. it's for our country is respect for our country. so i just want to thank you and i want to thank king charles. thank you very much. and we accept i don't know if the media's gonna follow as i have a feeling that it might say thank you very much,

appreciate it. i'm pleased to say that the bus of one of the prime ministers, greatest predecessors, winston churchill, is now back in the rightful place in the oval office. and we're very proud of it. our meeting today, send to the various breakout sessions. we had were tremendously productive. most importantly, i provided the prime minister with an update on our efforts to and the bloody and horrible war in ukraine was russia, which would never have happened if i were president. that was not going to happen. i promise you that if to 3 years of fallacious conflict, approximately 1000000 ukrainians and russians have been censors li kills. but the number i believe is much higher than that calculus schools. hospitals, townsend, beautiful agent church has been absolutely obliterated. to begin the process of ending this spiral of dest,

i had historic back to back alls with president food and very successful calls. i, my dad and president soleski and my team also spoke with the secretary general of nato and numerous occasions and were working very hard to get that were brought to an end. i think we've made a lot of progress and i think it's moving along pretty rapidly. and i want to thank all of the people that are here that have been working on it. and we'll let you know what's, what happens. it'll either be fairly soon or it won't be at all. in addition, this week i met with president croner, france, as you know and held talks with members of the g 7. tomorrow, the progress toward peace will continue when president zelinski visits the white house. and he'll be here tomorrow at the early part of the day. and will be signing a historic agreement that will make the united states and major partner developing

ukraine's minerals and rigorous and oil and gas is and we have a, a great understanding. i think it's going to be great for ukraine. we're going to be at the site and we'll be uh, we'll be digging who will be dig, dig digging, dig we must a big utility under your kind others and that you step aside, dig, we must, and we will be digging. but much of the european a do you great and has been sent in the form of loans for which they expect to be paid back. and we didn't have that on or under the by the administration. he said money or just send the money if the money, if the money and never had any any knowledge of ever seeing it back. maybe $300.00 to $350000000000.00. but under the breakthrough agreement, very unusual, which everyone said was difficult to get, but it's really very good for ukraine and very good for us. the american taxpayers

will now effectively be reimbursed for the money and hundreds of millions of dollars poured into helping the ukraine defend itself. which by and of itself is a very worthy thing to do. we've paid far more than any other country and with most of our support, it's been paid in military, defined as weapons anywhere in the world. this includes vast amounts of military hardware, ammunition, and various other things that we now have to start, rebuild the piles. additionally, the minerals agreement will provide the basis for a more sustainable future relationship between the united states and ukraine, and the stimulate, the long term prosperity that will help the ukrainians rebuild. their country has been demolished, us and the ruined infrastructure. the infrastructure, as you know, is in very bad shape. in just over one month,

our administration has already achieved more progress toward peace than years in the other administration where they did nothing toward peace. they didn't understand what was happening. our approach is basically common sense, as i said. so many of the things that we do is based on common sense. if you want peace, you have to talk both sides. as i discussed with prime minister shermer, the next step we're making is toward a very achievable ceasefire. we hope that that can have happened quickly because thousands of young people this case we're not talking about americans, we're talking about ukrainians. and russians are being killed every weeks. thousands and it's a rough battlefield is a flat piece of land and the bullet only stops when it hit somebody. and this week, i saw the reports and it's, it's a, i don't even want to say what,

what they are. but thousands of people, young people, young, vibrant people died. and we want to stop that senseless shoot and never happened. this will lay the groundwork for a long term peace agreement that will return stability to eastern europe and hopefully ensure that such a terrible war will never happen on european show l or for that matter anywhere. again, it's a, it's a horrible thing that's going on. so disaster and ukraine shows exactly why it's so important for the united kingdom and other nato partners to make large investments in the defense capabilities. in many cases, 4 percent or 5 percent of g d p would be appropriate. so i know that they're raising it. i've just read an article, great article about the work you're doing in the u. k. is to the military, you're raising good quite a bit, which is a great thing to do. so the country is great thing to do. it said that we need that, but probably need that. so congratulations on that. i know you got it through after

years of tronic under funding, there's an urgent need to catch up for some countries that i want to. thanks the prime minister once again for traveling here today. working together, i believe that will uh, once again demonstrates the power of our country's unique friendship. this is indeed a unique friendship. it's been many years and i think it's only gotten stronger to we will make sure that it stays that way. we're going to have a great trade agreement, one way or the other. we're going to end up with a very good trade agreement for both countries and we're working on that as we speak. i think, to have the confines, i think we'll have something maybe even in terms of the possibilities. agreed to very shortly. j. d is working on a vice president and scott, and i'm just looking this all from mike, you're going to work on it. everyone's going to work on it. we'll see if we can do something pretty quickly. but we're going to make some great trade agreements with

the u. k and with the prime minister. and it'll happen very quickly. so i just want to thank you again and please thank king charles for the invite and look forward to your giving our acceptance on behalf of the united states of america. thank you very much sir. i thank you very much so much the president. thank you for your hospitality. thank you for your leadership. this has been a very good and very productive visit with your family roots in scotland and joel clay spalding with his majesty the king. it's good to know that the united kingdom has a true friend in the oval office and it was so good to see the bust, winston churchill back in its rightful place just a moment ago. but look at a moment of real things around the world. the relationship, this relationship matches move and that we remain each of those 1st partner in defense, ready to come to the other side to counts of threats wherever,

whenever they may arise. no to minute truce a more intertwined analysis. no 2 countries have done more to get that to keep people safe. and in a few weeks, we might v e day. the idea of us rate of victory in your britain and america full side by side to make that happen. one of the greatest moments in all history, we stand side by side still today with focused now on bringing an enduring end to the bar at cool in ukraine. mister president, i welcome your deep on personal commitment to bring pace to stop the killing. you've created a moment of tremendous opportunity to reach a historic piece deal. a deal that i think would be celebrated in ukraine and around the world. that is the prize. but we have to get it right. there's

a famous slogan in the united kingdom, from off to the 2nd world war thought is that we have to win the pace. and that's what we must do now. because they called the pace that rewards the oppressor. well, that gives encouragement to regimes like their own us. we agree, history must be on the side of the piece. make notes the invite a so the stakes, they couldn't be higher on where the tub and to work together to deliver a good deal. discuss the plan today to reach a pace that is tough and fat that ukraine will help shape those backed by sprints to stop polluted and coming back from all. i'm working closely with other european leaders on this, but i'm clear that the u. k is ready to put boots on the ground and planes in the, at the support of deal working together with our laws. because that is the only way the piece will last mr. president, in this new era. your all so right,

the europe must step up. and let me tell you now. i see the drawing threats we face . and so the u. k is all in this year we'll be giving moment a tray to trade in the data. and just this week, i've set out how we shouldering more of the security, but we're already one of the biggest spend doesn't data. but now we're going much further delivering britain's biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the cold war. this isn't just talk, it's action re balancing the transatlantic alliance, making us all stronger and standing out for us shared values, and shed security. as britain always has just a present. it's no secret with, from different political traditions. but there's a lot that we have in common. we believe it's not taking part the counts,

but counts is waiting. if you don't, when you don't deliver we're determined to deliver to the working people, of course, in america who won't, and does of to see that lives improve or so we put us in a hurry to get things done. and that's what the u. k. of us do when we work together we, when we get things done, so we'll do what it takes to keep people safe. we also work together to look with some big economic witness. the competitive fits us both. we have a $1.00 trillion dollar invested in each of those that call them is create kind of a $2500000.00 jobs across the base they call them is trading relationship is not just strong. it's the balance and reciprocal will lead us together in so many areas rank $1.00 and $2.00 in the world as investment destinations $1.00 and

$2.00 for universities, $1.00 and $2.00 for nobel prizes $1.00 and $2.00 in gulf as well. uh, by the way, um with the only 2 western countries with trillion dollar tech sectors leaders in i look, we take a similar approach on this issue. instead of over regulating these new technology is with see, think the opportunities that they offer. so we've decided today to go further to begin work on a new economic deal with advanced technology assets. cool. look. now 2 nations together shaped the great technological innovations of the last century. we have a chance now to do the same for the 21st century. i mean, all the official intelligence could cure cancer, could be a moving shot for our age. and that's how we'll keep delivering for our people. for so many opportunities, keep up nation strong of a fil, a promise of greatness. but there's always defined this relationship. finally,

to undermine to underline the importance of this bond. it was my privilege and alma to bring alexa with me today from his majesty the king. not only sending his best wishes, but also invite seeing the president and the 1st lady to make a state visit to the united kingdom on president it 2nd state visit. this has never happened before. it's so incredible it will be historic and i'm delighted the talking go back to his much the the king and tell them that president trump has accepted the invitation. so thank you. tibits will not work together to set a date. uh, we look forward to welcome you in the united kingdom. thank you once again or thank you very much. what a beautiful accent i would have been president 20 years ago if i had that access.

okay, let's see here. go ahead please. president. earlier today you told me that you believe that foreign countries pay tariffs, but americans who are concerned about higher prices believe, as most people do, that they're paid by consumers and importers. when they import things into this country, can you explain how you came to this belief that foreign governments are paying terrace and for the prime minister? did you discuss with president trump his repeated statements of desire to amex, canada, and has the king expressed any concern over the president's apparent desire to remove one of his realms from his control? so i'll go ahead the 1st part of the terrorists are necessary because we've been

treated very unfairly by many, many countries, including our friends, friend info. but we've been treated very unfairly in trade at levels that nobody's really ever seen before. and especially under the, by the administration, they really took advantage of the united states. i've put massive tariffs on china during my 4 years with the best economy of the history of our country. going to probably the best economy, maybe the best economy. it is to the world stand i had, i used tariffs to even things up. and in particular with china, we took in hundreds of millions of dollars and we had no inflation. and it's a mess. it's admits it's put out there by foreign countries that really don't like paying tariffs and especially to even up. so we've been treated badly by a lot. we're using tariffs and i find and if you just have to look at the numbers, but i find that it's not about inflation,

it's about fairness and the inflation for us has not existed. and i don't think it's going to exist. we're going to bring our car industry back, we're going to bring our chips back. we're going to bring so many things back to our country, including pharmaceuticals and drugs. and the thing that's going to get us there is tariffs, and i say often it's my favorite word in the dictionary, but i always preference that by saying now because they've gotten into a lot of trouble with the fact is where they say that's not good. so i say, god, love, family life, they're all my favorite, of course, but tariff is about know before or 5 and the list. but i will tell you it's going to make our country rich, and it's going to stop us from being a laughing stock all over the world. because we have been taken advantage of like no country has ever been taken advantage of. thank you very much and look where you had a really good discussion, a productive discussion, a good discussion. as a result of which are the teams that i'm going to be working together on an

economic deal team is going to be working together on security in ukraine. you mentioned canada, i think you're trying to find a divide between us that doesn't exist where the closest of nations that we have very good discussions today, but we didn't mention enough ended up. thank you. please go ahead. go ahead. yes. thank you. a hi. natasha clot 5, they say mister president, you said you're working on any trade deal with britain, which way of course welcome, president obama want said breton was at the back of the key for that. try do. where are we now? when do you think we'll get? we're going to see that's on permanent to the bbc is today. admitted service flows over the recent dollars of coverage. suggestions of payments made to people linked to him asked as the bbc, bbc still have your trust think well, they didn't do well with president obama. never got a lot of things done and he didn't get a trade deal done. and that was of any importance or magnitude. we have uh, we've had great discussions on trade and i think we're going to have

a deal done rather quickly as quickly as it can be done. we're, we're going to have something i think rather quickly, we expect to do that. okay. so on the bbc look, got up in concerned about the program in question. most lecture states had a meeting with the baby say, i think it was yes, that could be the day before. thank you jeff. good. thank you, sir. pardon me, mister president, do you support article 5 of the natal treaty and are you concerned that it might be triggered if you're a p and peacekeeping forces and up a new crank? i support it. i don't think we're gonna have any reason for it. i think we're going to have a very successful piece and i think it's going to be a long lasting pace. and i think it's going to happen hopefully quickly. it, if it doesn't happen quickly, it may not happen at all. and we want it for 2 reasons. number one, i want to see on a few main basis. i want to see. so just stop getting shot because largely

a soldiers that pounds have been obliterated. but it's largely that, and i don't want to pay billions and billions and billions of dollars, nor does the prime minister or anybody else on a sense was war that should have never happened and we're going to get it taken care of. but i think it's going to be a piece that is going to be long lasting. do you have a question for the parameters? a. thank you, mr. prime minister. you were asking the president today about a back stop of, for europe. if the peacekeeping force ends up in ukraine, did you feel like you got a satisfying answer for yourself and for europe and mister president, if you want to comment on that as well, please do. so i thought we have a very productive discussion, obviously as the president says, the deal has to come 1st, but yes, my team is going to be talking about um, how we make sure about deals. sticks is last thing and enforced. so our team should be talking about okay,

please blew mr. president on some experts think it could take more than a decade to mind the precious minerals from ukraine. how much of the us expect to receive and when do you expect to see that come to fruition? well, we're never going to know that answer but a by are being in ukraine and doing the exploration and also the digging and taking the river, which we need in our country very badly and will be doing a substantial amount of work. probably about at least what we have in there and we hope to be able to do that. you never know when it comes to that, you know, you dig and maybe things are, they are like, you think they're there, but we'll be spending a lot of time there. it'll be great for your grade. is it's like a huge economic development projects. so it'll be good for both countries. ok, please. the problem is done and excuse me,

private as the you've talked about putting pretty solid, his boots on the ground in ukraine, in the event the president trump succeeds with his piece deal. but can you do that without a firm assurance that america will have a back in the form of some kind of security guarantee we're preaching. to breach that agreement? mister president, tomorrow you'll see the president's landscape to sign this deal on minerals analogy . that could be hugely important. so the united states will you take the opportunity to apologize to him for cold? again, i dictate to well praising vladimir putin who is a dictator as well. but let me start by saying, i've been really clear today and previously, but i think fits european countries, including united kingdom need to step up in our defense and security. we've been

doing that in recent days. you sold the announcement we made all the spending adjust the other day. in addition to that, like made it clear that the united kingdom will play its full part. it ensuring that it does it deal and that we have there is a deal in ukraine. so that is a last thing deal of the to stick somewhere. obviously, i'm working with other european countries will not from sunday to in particular, but we've, i've got, i think i'm posting 18 countries on sunday to further our discussions. you heard from the president this morning that you know, half as historically has always been the case. we have each of those facts, and today we've been talking about the deal, how that will be a last thing, dale and coming out of this out, teams will now be talking in detail about loud and i think we're going to have a very good meeting tomorrow. 11 o'clock, and i think we're gonna have a very good meeting tomorrow morning. we're going to get along really well. okay.

we have a lot of respect. i have a lot of respect for a we've given them a lot of equipment and a lot of money, but they have foot very bravely no matter how you figure they have really for somebody else to use that equipment. and they have been very brief in that sense. uh, yeah, please go ahead. the inside deal is the ring and ends this off today. and there's been some worry about phase 2. you might never get that to you, but the, the phase 2 of the ceasefire in gaza will come to fruition and have you spoken to nothing yahoo about test is and for the prime minister, this peacekeeping deal has been pushed forward by the u. k. on fonts as well, have you as been in discussions with any other european countries to join us in this initiative? and are you expecting commonwealth countries to also join the efforts? thank you. so we're working very hard on the middle east and gaza and all of the problems and it's been going on for years and years and centuries and centuries. it's a, it's a tough neighborhood, but it could be

a very beautiful neighborhood. and i think we're gonna come up with some pretty good solutions, but stage one is almost complete. we've had some people that have been very seriously injured, very seriously hurt both physically and mentally. they've come out of every very uh and some of them in very, very bad shape is shocking. many young people, young people, aren't in bad shape. young people are strong, healthy. they don't die. people have come out dead young people and old people. it's a rough situation, but i think we're going to make it much better. and i think that we've had a huge impact on that since we've been in just the 4 weeks. i think we've had a huge impact on guys at the middle east and we have some pretty good talks going on concerning lots of other people that are going to make it better. so we'll see what happens. nobody really knows, but we'll see what happens. but i think we've had a very positive impact from it and yeah,

on the question of the european countries. yes, i've spoken to a number of countries, particularly the last few weeks. we had a meeting in paris last week. i'll go to meeting on sunday with a team countries. um, to further out discussions of, obviously we've been talking quite intentionally to our french colleagues and to nato, but to other countries as well. because as i say, i think it's important for your pin countries, including the united kingdom, to step up into mall and the defense and security of your, of an outcomes done to the united kingdom of world a side. while we're talking to a number of other countries. thank you. yes. in the red please. hey, greg. it's flaming red. this is it me? oh, go ahead. ok. thank you, mr. president. of a question on your green number one is if you're not considering the security

guarantees, are you open to other forms of, for example, intelligence cooperation with ukraine and mr. prime minister prison trump has proposed a plan for gaza. does this fit into the 2 state solution that the u. k. how uh, for a long time. do you see it fit into your general and middle eastern strategy? thank you so much. yeah, thank you very much. we're open to many things, but before i even think about that, that's almost pleasant to think about. because that would mean that piece has been arrived at. we have to arrive at that piece and you know, you went 3 and a half years with an administration that never even really had a meeting. they didn't have a meeting on pace. and there was no prospect of peace. i think frankly, russia wanted to go through the whole long deal. i don't think they do anymore. i don't think they do. we had a very big impact on that whole situation. but i don't like talking

about phase 2 until i get phase one. phase one is i have to make peace and we have to get russia to agree, we have to get you grand to agree and i think we will. uh, i think we've come a long way. i believe we're going to get it done. i wouldn't say that if i didn't think so, and i think it will be very important, very historic, and we're going to save a lot of a lot of lives. us on the question of all. so, the last few weeks of the seas for 15, very impactful. and for me there are 2 images that i remember move. and then the all the, the 1st is emily demari. um, so its british big or united with uh, mazda or you may remember she had a half thing goes missing off to what she enjoyed. that was an incredible moment. od spends a lot of time with the mother while she was held captive, and her mother went through eps the torture. the other image was thousands of

palestinians marching through rubble trying to attend to that communities in the homes. so we have to do everything we can to ensure that the safe spot continues. so the ball hostages can pay for ton so that i can be brought in most desperately needed. and we, we need to allow palestinians to retire and to rebuild their lives. so we can still support them in doing that. but yes, i believe that the 2 state solution is also not the only way for last thing piece in the region. and think of that she came home with her fingers and part of her hand blown off as terrible. uh, how bad does it get? and we had others that came home and much, much worse shape than that. that's a terrible situation. please. yes, so mr. president did our prime minister this why do not to put tyrus on the u. k. and if i'm a prime minister,

do you think that that to me, patient is a man who's a will keep his what? like he tried to is working hard. i'll tell you that a year and whatever the hell they pay him over there. but he tried. uh we, i think it was a very good just did the case of these 2 great friendly countries. i think we, we could very well end up with a real trade deal where the tariffs wouldn't be necessary. uh, we'll say, but he's a here and whatever they, whatever they pay, i'm here and today he was working hard at lunch and, and i'm very receptive to it. i think we in all fairness, in all seriousness, i think we have a very good chance of arriving in a very good deal, j. d. and scott and howard, all the people are working on it. and i think we have a good chance to arrive, you're going to deal that could be a terrific.
