deter future aggression after this war ends is a goal. and we are advancing this goal by providing them the support ukraine needs now on the battlefield and helping them strengthen their military over the long—term. the fact of the matter is that i believe we will have the funding necessary to support ukraine as long as it takes. and i believe that we are going to... the support will be real even though we hear some voices today on capitol hill about whether or not we should continue to support ukraine and for how long we should support them. the fact of the matter is i asked people a picture what would happen if we were not supporting ukraine. do we think russia would stop in kyiv? do you think that's all that would be happening? i think not, and you think that's all that would be happening? ithink not, and i you think that's all that would be happening? i think not, and i think the vast majority of my colleagues, even the critics, think that would not be the case as well. there is

rights around the globe. but our fight is far, farfrom over rights around the globe. but our fight is far, far from over because we have some hysterical and i would argue prejudiced people who are engaged in what you see going on around the country. it's an appeal to fear and it's an appeal that is totally and thoroughly unjustified and ugly. it's wrong for that a person can be married in the morning in the us to be fired in the afternoon by their employer because they are way. it is wrong that the violence and hate crimes targeting lgbtq people is rising. it's wrong that extreme officials are pushing hateful bills targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalising doctors. these are our kids. these are our neighbours. this is cruel and callous. these are not

somebody else's kids, they are all our kids. and our children are the tight string to hold our national ambitions or law. it matters a great deal how we treat everyone in this country. and the fact is that i'm announcing today a series of new initiatives that we are taking to protect the elder bt community. i was what to do this at the forum on the south lawn, we are having pride day but we will have to puzzle to because of the weather and pollution out there because of the fires. but number one, we are going to strengthen the physical safety. dedicated resources in federal coordination to better protect pride celebrations, marches, community centres and health care providers and small businesses. secondly we are addressing the civil rights violations. the new coordinator to protect lgbt violations. the new coordinator to protect lg bt students violations. the new coordinator to protect lgbt students from book bands which make it harderfor protect lgbt students from book bands which make it harder for kids to learn and may violate the civil

rights at the same time. we are also engaging in mental health and other supports, more mental health resources and funding to help families support their kids. new efforts to protect lgbtq kids in foster care and steps to end the absolute end of lgbtq homelessness. congress has to pass and i'm not giving up on this, likely could not get the marriage that pass, congress must pass the equality act and send it to my desk. lgbtq americans especially children, you are loved, you are heard and this administration has your back and i mean it. we are not relenting one single second to make sure that they are protected. single second to make sure that they are protected-— are protected. laura, on your question. — are protected. laura, on your question. it's — are protected. laura, on your question, it's clear— are protected. laura, on your question, it's clear that - are protected. laura, on your question, it's clear that al - are protected. laura, on your| question, it's clear that al can bring — question, it's clear that al can

not relative to one another but relative to the issue. because when i convened the leaders in a about 13 in the us, the very architects of this ai, they are also very concerned about it getting out of hand. and we have got to make sure we are all on the same page. and we are looking to great britain to lead that effort this fall in putting together a proposal, a group of nations to deal with how do we deal with this. and only has the potential to cure cancer, and many other things that are just beyond our comprehension, but it has potential to do great damage if it is not controlled. and so we are looking for... i will not overstate it, we're looking for watermarks with everything that is produced by ai so we know with everything that is produced by also we know from whence it comes.

but there is a lot we have to do. we are also addressing the national security risks posed by certain types of outbound investments. i had a discussion with the president in china why was i not transferring certain technological capabilities and i said very simply because you are using them for weapons of mass destruction and intelligence intervention. i think we for counselling on that and we would have a very different relationship. what we are trying to do is figure out how together we can make sure that we have not met the back of a say it this way. i don't think ever in the history of the human endeavour has there been as fundamental potential technological change as has presented by artificial intelligence. it is staggering. it is staggering. we have some of these leaders in the industry talking about how their concerned whether but she really

think for itself. not need the programme. i mean, i know it sounds like science fiction, but it is close to site sufficient some of the things. there is normal potential and we are looking to great britain to help lead that effort to figure out a way through this. so we are in full total cooperation because there is no one coming to critter we have greater faith in is no one coming to critter we have greaterfaith in being able to negotiate this, not negotiate with individuals with negotiate their way through this than the prime minister. and so we are in lockstep. last question is the times.- last question is the times. thank ou. last question is the times. thank you- prime _ last question is the times. thank you. prime minister _ last question is the times. thank you. prime minister you - last question is the times. thank you. prime minister you may - last question is the times. thank| you. prime minister you may clear your— you. prime minister you may clear your support — you. prime minister you may clear your support for _ you. prime minister you may clear your support for free _ you. prime minister you may clear your support for free trade, - you. prime minister you may clear your support for free trade, but i you. prime minister you may clear your support for free trade, but it| your support for free trade, but it is today— your support for free trade, but it is today public— your support for free trade, but it is today public agreement - your support for free trade, but it is today public agreement simply| is today public agreement simply recognition — is today public agreement simply recognition that— is today public agreement simply recognition that in _ is today public agreement simply recognition that in light - is today public agreement simply recognition that in light of - recognition that in light of covid-t9 _ recognition that in light of covid—19 and _ recognition that in light of covid—19 and the - recognition that in light of covid—19 and the growing i recognition that in light of - covid—19 and the growing effective china _ covid—19 and the growing effective china and — covid—19 and the growing effective china and the _ covid—19 and the growing effective china and the russian— covid—19 and the growing effective china and the russian invasion - covid—19 and the growing effective china and the russian invasion ofi china and the russian invasion of ukraine, — china and the russian invasion of ukraine, the— china and the russian invasion of ukraine, the year— china and the russian invasion of ukraine, the year of— china and the russian invasion of ukraine, the year of unfettered i ukraine, the year of unfettered globalisation _ ukraine, the year of unfettered globalisation is _ ukraine, the year of unfettered

automobiles was because the outfit that we got our semiconductors from in southeast asia had shut down because the pandemic. we realised that i decided that no longer will be rely on one sinner of the support for any of the things that are needed for our economic growth. and i made it clear to all our nato allies and our partners as well that although we were going to generate a for example ai capacity here, excuse me, a semiconductor capacity here in the united states, attracting literally several hundred billion dollars in investment, that that was available to all of our allies. all of ourfriends. and available to all of our allies. all of our friends. and they are investing as we are. and benefiting investing as we are. and benefiting in a similarway. investing as we are. and benefiting in a similar way. the bottom line here for me is that i think that the world is changing in a way that globalisation is still real, but the

measure of what we used to call trickle—down economics where the trickle—down economics where the trickle—down economics where the trickle—down economics resulted in democratic and public administrations for generations making sure we found the cheapest labour in the world, sent the product or the work to that neighbour or those neighbours who had the cheapest labour and they send back their products. i'm not doing that any more. we're going to make sure that we in fact have a flip of that. we are sending capacity here in united states, attorney capacity to build here in the us as a product overseas. not the us as a product overseas. not the reverse. and i know it sounds simplistic but it's working. so far. and it's not going to hurt any of our allies orfriends in and it's not going to hurt any of our allies or friends in terms of the trade and in fact i'm finding there benefiting from it as well

because they are engaging in it with us. and at home, they are doing similar things. us. and at home, they are doing similarthings. so us. and at home, they are doing similar things. so that's why we talked about the need to have relationships in terms of certain materials, battery technologies that we share, we were allowed great britain to produce a lot of that force. so it is increasing trade, but right now it looks like it is because the us is doing so incredibly well, it makes it look like it's only the united states. it is not. it's a change in direction in terms of we view generating economic growth. bind in terms of we view generating economic growth.— in terms of we view generating economic growth. and 'ust to add to that, i economic growth. and 'ust to add to that, mould — economic growth. and 'ust to add to that, i would say _ economic growth. and 'ust to add to that, i would say i'm — economic growth. and just to add to that, i would say i'm absolutely - economic growth. and just to add to that, i would say i'm absolutely of i that, i would say i'm absolutely of the view _ that, i would say i'm absolutely of the view that the united states, this president does not believe in zero-sum — this president does not believe in zero—sum competition amongst allies. this witt— zero—sum competition amongst allies. this will be _ zero—sum competition amongst allies. this will be declared together with our 67 _ this will be declared together with our g7 partners this a few weeks ago in hiroshima — our g7 partners this a few weeks ago in hiroshima. this is a president and administration that is completely attuned to the needs and concerns _ completely attuned to the needs and concerns of its allies on these issues — concerns of its allies on these issues and _

concerns of its allies on these issues and you can see that. today as the _ issues and you can see that. today as the president said we are locked in negotiations between the uk and the us— in negotiations between the uk and the us on— in negotiations between the uk and the us on a critical minerals agreement so that the us can provide us with that _ agreement so that the us can provide us with that interaction and cooperation we need and the atlantic declaration that we have announced today— declaration that we have announced todayiust _ declaration that we have announced today just talks about todayjust talks about strengthening, deepening our cooperation. i thought about looking into being _ cooperation. i thought about looking into being protectionist, is the exact— into being protectionist, is the exact opposite of that is about strengthening that cooperation across — strengthening that cooperation across the full spectrum of economic, technological and other spheres _ economic, technological and other spheres. and that's what you will see from — spheres. and that's what you will see from the president and for me and from — see from the president and for me and from the uk in the us working even more — and from the uk in the us working even more closely together on all the big _ even more closely together on all the big economic issues of our time because _ the big economic issues of our time because that's what the moment demands— because that's what the moment demands and that's what our citizens need us _ demands and that's what our citizens need us to— demands and that's what our citizens need us to do and that's what the president— need us to do and that's what the president and i plan to deliver. it's president and i plan to deliver. its not — president and i plan to deliver. it's notjust our president and i plan to deliver. it's not just our citizens. president and i plan to deliver. it's notjust our citizens. look, the global south, they are going to be a billion people in africa very shortly, one being. at the g7, it was originally called build back

better world that we are talking about there's a new ppi... anyway an industrial policy that we are all signed onto to provide the countries in africa and in the global south an opportunity to grow. significantly grow. which benefits the united states and benefits europe and every country because the reverse is true. if we don't figure a way in which these countries can grow and dissipate and have to be able to build infrastructure, you know, the chinese have a bell and run initiative. well the bellamy road initiative. well the bellamy road initiative turns out to be debt and confiscation programme. not going very far. but what we are doing and we are going to be doing with our nato allies, with the g7 is providing opportunities for example in angola, they should be in position very soon to have the

largest solar facility in the world. generating significant amounts of energy. benefits us, benefits them in my brings him into the 21st century in a way that they never did before. we are talking about building and i had my team put it together with other countries as well to build a railroad from the pacific ocean, from the atlantic ocean all the way to the indian ocean. never occurred before. where are departments of agriculture are working with these countries so there is a significant amount of cooperation not to hoard capacity but to expand capacity to further expand opportunity. because we all benefit from it. and one thing i've learned is that we are not going to be able to deal with the global warming, which is a consequential and single most consequential threat to humanity if we don't do it. unless we engage more together, not

fewer, not less together. and so the united states will do what it can do well and invite all of our partners to be part of it if we can. thank you. to be part of it if we can. thank ou. �* r ., , to be part of it if we can. thank ou. �* . . , ., to be part of it if we can. thank ou. �* ~ . , ., ., you. all talk. ladies and gentleman, distinguished — you. all talk. ladies and gentleman, distinguished guests, _ you. all talk. ladies and gentleman, distinguished guests, please _ you. all talk. ladies and gentleman, distinguished guests, please remain i distinguished guests, please remain in your seats at the principles and official delegations depart the east room! �* official delegations depart the east room!�* , , official delegations depart the east room!�* , ., official delegations depart the east room! , ., .,~ official delegations depart the east room!�* , ., .~u room! i'm supposed to walk off the sta . e room! i'm supposed to walk off the stage now- — room! i'm supposed to walk off the stage now. let's _ room! i'm supposed to walk off the stage now. let's see _ room! i'm supposed to walk off the stage now. let's see if _ room! i'm supposed to walk off the stage now. let's see if we can - stage now. let's see if we can listen in because _ stage now. let's see if we can listen in because i _ stage now. let's see if we can listen in because i think - stage now. let's see if we can listen in because i think they l stage now. let's see if we can i listen in because i think they are not quite finishing up there. do you have a response to _ not quite finishing up there. do you have a response to the _ not quite finishing up there. do you i have a response to the congressional republicans — have a response to the congressional republicans with— have a response to the congressional republicans with mac _ have a response to the congressional republicans with mac where's - have a response to the congressional republicans with mac where's the - republicans with mac where's the money? _ republicans with mac where's the money? thri— republicans with mac where's the mone ? �* ., ~' republicans with mac where's the mone ? �* ., ,, �* , republicans with mac where's the mone ? �* �*, ., republicans with mac where's the mone ?�* �*, ., . ., money? i'm 'oking. it's a much a mararkey. — money? i'mjoking. it's a much a malarkey. what _ money? i'mjoking. it's a much a malarkey. what do _ money? i'mjoking. it's a much a malarkey. what do you - money? i'mjoking. it's a much a malarkey. what do you say - money? i'mjoking. it's a much a malarkey. what do you say to . malarkey. what do you say to americans — malarkey. what do you say to americans who _ malarkey. what do you say to americans who are _ malarkey. what do you say to americans who are convinced | malarkey. what do you say to - americans who are convinced that they should — americans who are convinced that they should trust _ americans who are convinced that they should trust the _ americans who are convinced that they should trust the affairs - americans who are convinced that they should trust the affairs of. americans who are convinced that| they should trust the affairs of the justice _ they should trust the affairs of the justice department— they should trust the affairs of the justice department with _ they should trust the affairs of the justice department with your- justice department with your predecessor— justice department with your predecessor donald - justice department with your predecessor donald trump? | justice department with your predecessor donald trump? because ou notice i predecessor donald trump? because you notice i have _
