9:03 am
be now the visit drew and the protesters and actually also here you can sort of see the scale of the security operation it went. comes to dealing with the u.s. president coming to town for a couple of days estimates of how much it's costing vary but i've seen various figures from 25000000 to 40000000 pounds a week but a small crowd of pro demonstrations and they are getting into various i would say
9:04 am
constructive dialogue. with the anti trump demonstrators but the police have been having to mordor rates what's going on i've met all sorts of organizations and people from different political groups some keen to express their concerns about climate change all those talking about women's issues so if you listen to some of the people that have come out to protest today unfortunately he is my president i came from philadelphia yesterday i believe tomorrow but i wanted to be a part of this protest we're trying to show on her trauma by showing him in his favorite posture and this is where most of what he says comes from why would you. stand for any british try to use the right if you know our country being rude about who we really love respect i don't think it's time to be polite anymore i think when someone is found. in opinions that should not be allowed i think we need to be by saying that we don't agree and i think it's the government's responsibility.
9:05 am
people who fight another feature of today's demo has been the anti trump the trump baby blimp that was the large pollution that 1st made an appearance in july last year during trip donald trump's working visit to the u.k. it's been hoisted above polman to once again today and it's actually turned into a bit of an iconic piece of protest starts former scottish david coburn wants to see a trade deal agreed between the u.k. and us assume it's possible. she's the outgoing prime minister and she's obviously not on his wavelength always see seems warren shouldn't know if he will probably be coming in but also with mr ferrars show director party. we won very handsomely that in the bridge party were very amicably you know if you vote we want to listen to our side of the story because that's where the future lies obviously
9:06 am
the trade deal is what we want what the united states. may want to others another question. we need one with the united states is a huge boost to britain. something that will be achiever easily by the e.u. so we will be able to get a really good deal with the united states would be great for jobs good for everything the atmosphere has changed nigel is very supportive of president trump and i think he is on the same wavelength so i think britain is ruing the same direction of the united states in terms of policy and trade and we are as i said if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the united states great for britain great for breaks in. the kremlin has denied donald trump's tweeted claim that moscow has informed the u.s. is pulling its military advisors out of venezuela the wall street journal had earlier reported that russian personnel have been withdrawn something also
9:07 am
vehemently denied by moscow with all the details here's an audio tutor. well this is going from an accusation article from the dismissal of that article to a little bit of confusion thrown in on sunday there will 3 general they publish an article saying that russian military and technical personnel had left on my ass from venezuela reducing the numbers from a 1000 to just a few dozen and the reason they came for about the exodus was that there were a lot of contracts in that moscow it apparently found out that there was a lack of funds to pay russian high tech military hardware corp called. now rostik have come out and dismissed the article completely this is what they said the figures provided in the piece by the wall street cheryl have been exaggerated tens of times the numbers of our staff there has remained for the same for many years now someone else is aside and joining us. we interrupt that report to cross live to london where president donald trump and theresa may are addressing the media after
9:08 am
holding a meeting. 75 years ago. as leaders prepare to gather here from across the world it is fishing that we begin with a celebration of the special relationship between the united kingdom and the united states enduring partners who stood side by side on that historic day and every day since for generations at the heart of the transatlantic alliance has been our shared democratic values our common interests and our commitment to justice it is that unity of purpose that will preserve the deep rooted ties between our people and underpin our nation's security and prosperity for the next 75 years and beyond so i am very pleased to welcome the president of the united states of america on this state visit to the united kingdom. for the past 2 and a half years the president and i have had the duty and privilege of being the
9:09 am
latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries as with our predecessors when we have faced threats to the security of our citizens and our allies we have stood together and acted together. when russia used a deadly nerve agent on the streets of our country alongside the ukase expulsions the president expelled 60 russian intelligence officers the largest contribution towards an unprecedented global response. and in syria when innocent men women and children were victims of a barbaric chemical weapons attack britain and america along with france carried out targeted strikes against the regime. since we spoke about nato during my 1st visit to the white house we have maintained our support for this crucial alliance thanks in part to your clear message on burden sharing donald we have seen members pledge another one $100000000000.00 increasing their contributions to our shared
9:10 am
security and i'm pleased to announce that nato will soon be able to call on the u.k.'s queen elizabeth class aircraft carriers and f. $35.00 fighter jets to help tackle threats around the world today we've discussed again the new and evolving challenges to our security our values and our way of life we share the same view about their origin and our objectives in meeting them but like prime ministers and presidents before us and no doubt those that will come after we can also differ sometimes on how to confront the challenges we face i've always talked openly with you donald where we have taken a different approach and you've done the same with me i've always believed that cooperation and compromise are the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true than in the special relationship. today we've discussed again the importance of our 2 nations working together to address iran's destabilizing activity in the region and to in short iran cannot acquire
9:11 am
a nuclear weapon although we differ on the means of achieving that as i've said before the u.k. continues to stand by the nuclear deal it is clear that we both want to reach the same goal it is important that iran meet its obligations and we do everything to avoid escalation which is in no one's interest. recognizing our nations are safer and more prosperous when we work together on the biggest challenges of our time i also set out the u.k.'s approach to tackling climate change and our continued support for the paris agreement and we also spoke about china recognizing its economic significance and that we cannot ignore action that threatens our shared interests or values. as we've deepened our cooperation on security including our joint military operations and our unparalleled intelligence sharing so our economies to our ever more tightly bound together every morning $1000000.00 americans get up and go to work for british companies in america and $1000000.00 britons do the same for american companies here are trading relationship is worth
9:12 am
over $190000000000.00 pounds a year and we're the largest investors in each other's economies with mutual investments valued at as much as one trillion dollars mr president you and i agreed the 1st time we met that we should aim for an ambitious free trade agreement when the u.k. leaves the e.u. and from our positive discussions today i know that we both remain committed to this i'm also sure that our economic relationship will only grow broader and deeper building on the conversations we had and the ideas we heard from u.k. and u.s. businesses when we met them earlier today. tomorrow we will sit down in portsmouth with our fellow leaders to reinforce reaffirm the enduring importance of the western alliance and the shared values that underpin it. and as we look to the future in the years and in the generations ahead we will continue to work together to preserve the alliance that is the bedrock of our shared prosperity and security
9:13 am

9:14 am
1944 tens of thousands of young warriors left the shores by the sea and air to begin the invasion of normandy and the liberal ration of europe and the brutal nazi occupation it was a liberation like few people have seen before among them were more than 130000 american and british brothers in arms through their valor and sacrifice they secured our homelands and save freedom for the world. tomorrow prime minister may and i will attend a commemoration ceremony in portsmouth one of the key embarkation points for the invasion more than one and a half 1000000 american service members was stationed right here in england in advance of the landings that summer the bonds of friendship forged here and sealed in blood on the hollowed beaches will endure for ever. our
9:15 am
special relationship is grounded in common history values customs culture language and loss our people believe in freedom and independence as a sacred birthright and cherished inheritance worth defending at any cost as the prime minister and i discussed in our meetings today and yesterday the united states and the united kingdom share many goals and priorities around the world i want to thank the people of the united kingdom for this service and partnership in our campaign to defeat isis as we announced a few months ago isis's territorial caliphate in syria and iraq has been completely obliterated defeated the united kingdom is also a key partner in nato the prime minister and i agree that our nato allies must increase their defense spending we've both been working very hard toward that end
9:16 am
and we are very current and some of them are not we can't allow that to happen but i appreciate everything you've done in that regard we expect a growing number of nations to meet the minimum 2 percent of g.d.p. requirement to address today's challenges all members of the allies must fulfill their obligations they have no choice they must fulfill their obligation. among the pressing threats facing our nations is the development and spread of nuclear weapons perhaps that's our greatest threat the united states and the united kingdom are determined to ensure that iran never develops nuclear weapons and stop supporting and engaging in terrorism and i believe that will happen in protecting our nations we also know that the border security is national security today the prime minister and i discussed our thriving economic relationship both countries are doing very well and participated in
9:17 am
a roundtable with industry and business leaders i can say probably the biggest business leaders anywhere in the world our nations have more than one trillion dollars invested in each other's economics the united kingdom is america's largest foreign investor in our largest european export market that's a lot of importance as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in that trade deal i say probably to add even 3 times of what we're doing right down tremendous potential 75 years ago this there's a courageous americans and british patriots set out from the silent word history's most important battle. they stormed forward out of ships in airplanes risking
9:18 am
everything to defend our people and to ensure that the united states and britain would for ever remain sovereign and for ever remain free following this press conference prime minister may mr may the 1st lady my family and i will visit the legendary churchill war rooms beneath the streets of london. i look forward to that in his famous speech on this day in june 1980 prime minister churchill urged his countrymen to defend our island whatever the cost maybe as we mark this solemn anniversary of d.-day we remember that the defense of our nations does not begin on the battlefield but within the heart of every patriot today let us we knew our pledge engraved at the american cemetery in normandy
9:19 am
and inscribed by president dwight eisenhower in st paul's cathedral right here in london that the cause for which they died shall live prime minister may it's been a true honor i have greatly enjoyed working with you you are a tremendous professional and a person that loves your country dearly thank you very much really an honor. thank you for the invitation to memorialize or for heroes and for your partnership in protecting and advancing the extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known thank you prime minister thank you thank you thank you very much. thank you now we're going to take 2 questions from the u.k. media into questions from the american media i'll start with. thank you.
9:20 am
thank you prime minister president trump a 3 from sky news for you president trump as you hold talks with the current prime minister the leader of her majesty's opposition has been addressing a protest rally against your visit in trafalgar square he says he's disappointed you atop the line to mayor and he criticized the record on refugees what do you have to say to him and is this man someone you could do a trade deal with and to you prime minister do you think the city can is a stone cold loser thank you. if you're going to but the mayor of london said who you said yes well i think he's been a not very good mayor from what i understand he's done a poor job crime is up a lot of problems and i don't think he should be criticizing a representative of the united states that can do so much good for the united
9:21 am
kingdom we talked about it before he should be positive not negative he's a negative force not a positive force and if you look at what he said he hurts the people of this great country and i think he should actually focus on his job he'd be a lot better if he did that he could straighten out some of the problems that he has and probably some of the problems that he's caused thank you. are you wanted to meet with me and i told him no. yes. well. i don't know jeremy corbyn never met him never spoke to him he wanted to meet today or tomorrow and i decided that i would not do that. i think that he is from where i come from somewhat of a negative force i think that people should look to do things correctly as opposed
9:22 am
to criticize us i really don't like critics as much as i like and respect people that get things done so i've decided not to meet as far as the protests i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came very small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say but you saw the the people waving the american flag waving your flag it was tremendous spirit and love there was great love it was an alliance and i didn't see the protesters or deal just a little while ago and it was a very very small group of people put in for political reasons so it was fake thank you and i would say to both marriage london and jeremy corbin the discussions that
9:23 am
we have had today are about the future of this most important relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. as the president described it the greatest alliance the world has seen it is this deep special relationship and partnership between the united states and the united kingdom that ensures our safety and security and the safety and security of others around the world and it is this relationship that helps to ensure the road jobs that employ people here in the u.k. and in the united states that underpins our prosperity and off future that is a relationship we should cherish it is a relationship we should build on it is a relationship we should be proud of. specimens are not big and this really is a very big and important alliance and i think people should act positively toward it because it means so much for both countries means so much and it's been so good to see volunteer steve. thank you mr thing
9:24 am
is that on there what is your current view on briggs assertion britain leave the european union if there is no agreement by october 31st and for the prime minister what will be the ramifications for the u.k. if there is not a deal well i don't like to take positions in things that i'm not you know really i understand the issue very well i. really predicted what was going to happen some of you remember that prediction it was a strong prediction made at a certain location on a development we were opening the day before it happened and i thought it was going to happen because of immigration more than anything else but probably it happens for a lot of reasons but i would say yes i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen this is a great great country and it wants its own identity it wants to have its own borders it wants to run its own affairs is a very very special place and i think it deserves a special place and i thought maybe for that reason and for others but that reason
9:25 am
it was going to happen yeah i think it will happen and i believe the prime minister's brought it to a very good point where something will take place in the not too distant future i think she's done a very good job. i believe it would be good for the country yes. and from my point of view i believe it is important for us to deliver bret's it we gave that choice to the british people parliament overwhelmingly gave the choice to the british people we should now deliver on that choice i continue to believe that actually it's in the best interests of the u.k. to leave the european union in an orderly way with a deal i think we have a good deal sadly the labor party and other m.p.'s have so far stopped us from delivering on that deal but we will but obviously this is an issue that is going to continue here in the u.k. i think the important thing is we deliver breck's it and once we're out of the european union we will be able to do what we've been talking about today and develop not just that free trade agreement but a broader economic partnership into the future. matter mr president are you
9:26 am
prepared to impose limits on intelligence sharing with britain if they do not put in place some restrictions on what our way because we're going to have absolutely an agreement on while way and everything else we have an incredible intelligence relationship and we will be able to work out any differences i think we're not going to have we did discuss it i see absolutely no limitations we've never had limitations this is a truly great ally and partner and will have no problem with that. francis. mr president from the times do you agree with your ambassador that the entire economy needs to be on the table in the future trade talk the trade deal in creating the n.h.s. minister are you tempted to take that spineless offer to a president of the world and stick around for a bit until a trade deal is done. i think we're going to have a great trade deal yes i think we're going to have a great and very comprehensive trade deal.
9:27 am
i can hear it. is a shift of focus on the plate. look i think everything with the trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table so n.h.s. or anything else are a lot a lot more than that but everything will be on the table absolutely ok but the point about making trade deals is of course that both sides negotiate and come to an agreement about what should or should not be in the trade deal for the for the future and as regards the 2nd question nice try. but look i'm a woman of my word. john. mr president thank you mr president domestically in recent days mexico has stepped up apprehensions and deportations of central american migrants good this could
9:28 am
possibly be in response to your threat of tariffs has mexico possibly be as it has mexico done enough to avoid tariffs which will be imposed in some 6 days from now we haven't started yet and but the threat is out there yet the threat is out there but we haven't really started you know this will take effect next week and what 5 percent and what do you think of republicans who say that they may take action to block you imposing those type of i don't think they will do that i think if they do it's foolish there's nothing more important than borders i've had tremendous republican support i have a 90 percent 94 percent approval rating as of this morning in the republican party that's an all time record can you believe that is not something i love records but we have a 94 percent approval rating in the republican party i want to see security at our border i'm going to see. great trade going to see a lot of things happening and that is happening and as you know mexico called they
9:29 am
want to meet they're going to meet on wednesday secretary pump aoe is going to be at the meeting along with a few others that are very good at this and we are going to see if we can do something but i think it's more likely that the tariffs go on and we'll probably be talking during the time that the tariffs are on and they're going to be paid and if they don't step up and give us security for our nation look millions of people are flowing through mexico that's unacceptable millions and millions of people are coming right through mexico it's a 2000 mile journey and they're coming up to our border and our border patrol which is incredible they're apprehending them but our lawyers have bed because the democrats don't want to pass laws that could be passed in 15 minutes that could be passed quickly in one day it could change but even beyond the laws mexico shouldn't allow millions of people to try and enter our country and they could stop it very quickly and i think they will and if they won't we're going to put tariffs on in
9:30 am
every month those tariffs go from 5 percent to 10 percent to 15 percent to 20 and then to 25 percent and what will happen then is all of those companies that have left our country and gone to mexico are going to be coming back to us and that's ok that's ok but i think mexico will step up and do what they should have been done and i don't want to hear that mexico is run by the cartels and the drug lords and the coyotes i don't want to hear about that a lot of people are saying that mexico has something to prove but i don't want to hear that they're run by the cartels you understand you report on it all the time a lot of people do i would be a terrible thing mexico should step up and stop this onslaught this invasion into our country john. mr mayor you tried 3 times to get a deal on braxton it at this point do you believe that a deal on breaks it is possible or is this a gourd.
