i would own trump is holding a news conference following that meeting with ukraine's president the lecky let's listen and bring you some more under or sell selvage or 30 arabia jordan bahrain kuwait qatar oman u.a.e. chile colombia ecuador and peru other than that we weren't too busy over the last 3 years and unfortunately the press doesn't even cover it you know we have we've made some fantastic deals like which you're paying for farmers we have a tremendous trade deal with japan and. that doesn't get covered because you waste your time on nonsense the p.m.i. manufacturers. index is has gone substantially up which was an incredible larry kudlow wherever you may be larry please stand. me just gave me these numbers. and existing new home sales are through the

roof just came out or oil prices have gone down ever since the saudi arabia incident and they've gone down very substantially so we have plenty of oil. but those numbers were surprising to larry in the extent of the increase is that a correct statement so thank you larry kudlow. we think we'll make this little announcement to you because important you know the so-called whistleblower the one that didn't have any 1st class or 1st rate or. second tier information from what i understand you have to figure that out for yourself. but i've spoken with leader kevin mccarthy and the republicans many of them. and we were going to do this anyway but i've informed them. all of the house members that i fully support

transparency on the so-called whistleblower information even though it was supposedly secondhand information which is sort of interesting. and other things have come out about the whistleblower that are also maybe even more interesting but also insist on transparency from joe biden and his son hunter on the millions of dollars that have been quickly and easily taken out of ukraine in china millions of dollars millions and millions of dollars taken out very rapidly. while he was vice president and i think they should have transparency for that and i have informed the leader about that and additionally i demand transparency from democrats who went to ukraine and attempted to force the new president who i met and is an outstanding person just met that a while ago some of you were there i think is going to be outstanding. elected on

the basis of corruption you want to end corruption in ukraine and i think that's great. but they went there and they wanted to force the new president to do things that they wanted under the form of political threat they threatened him if he didn't do things. now that's what they're kissing me of but i didn't do it i didn't threaten anybody. in fact the. press was asking questions of the president of ukraine and he said no pressure i use the word pressure i think use the word push but he meant pressure but it's the same thing. no push no pressure no nothing. it's all a hoax it's all a big hoax and the sad thing about this hoax is that we work so hard with all of these countries and i mean really high this is been i've been up from early in the morning to late in the evening and meeting with different countries all for the good of our country and the press doesn't even cover all of this and it's disappear

it's really disappointing also to those countries that are with us and spend so much time with us so we want transparency we've informed. kevin mccarthy about transparency and we said vote for it so i think you have close to 100 percent of the republican votes i hope and. they get almost no attention but in may c.n.n. reported that senators robert menendez richard durbin and patrick leahy wrote a letter to ukraine's prosecutor general expressing concern at the closing of 4 investigations they said were critical in the letter they him ply that their support for u.s. assistance to ukraine was at stake and that it really didn't do the right thing they wouldn't get any assistance c. does that sound familiar doesn't it sound familiar and chris murphy who i've been

dealing with on guns in are so nice and so is oh no we want to work it out we want to work it out but they're too busy wasting their time on on the witch hunt so senator chris murphy literally threatened the president of ukraine. that if he does do things right they won't have democrat support in congress are you going to look at all of this. one other thing i'm just going off certain. notes in. elements of what we've been doing over the last 3 days but this just came up few minutes ago the amazon washington post just put out a fake article that acting director of national intelligence joseph mcguire who i've gotten to know and he's a tough cookie and i was surprised i was shocked to hear this was going to quit blaming the white house for something that they would let him

talk openly freely and i was shocked because i know joe is a tough tough guy and i was really surprised to hear he was going to quit before i could even either talk to him or talk to anybody else he put out a statement i didn't speak to joe yet but he said at no time have i considered resigning my position in other words the story in the washington post was a fake. at no time have i considered resigning my position since assuming this role on august 16th 2019 i have never quit anything in my life and i am not going to start now i'm committed to leading the intelligence community to address the diverse and complex threats facing our nation that's from the acting director of national intelligence a very good man joseph mcguire. so having a great period of time our country is the strongest it's ever been economically our

numbers are. phenomenal wilbur thank you and larry everybody the numbers are phenomenal our economy is the strongest in the world with the largest economy in the world had my opponent won we would be 2nd right now because china was catching or so rapidly we would have been 2nd by this time. and unless somebody does a very poor job as president we're going to be 1st for a long way because we picked up trillions and trillions of dollars in value and worth of our country and china has lost trillions and trillions of dollars and millions of jobs and their supply chain. and they want to make a deal. this year america came to the united nations stronger than we have ever been before since by election the united states has not only brought our economy to a level that we have never seen the most jobs that we've ever had you know you've

heard me said many times african-american asian american hispanic american the best unemployment numbers we've ever had and the most and best employment numbers 160000000 very close to that number in jobs we've never been anywhere close. wages are up. and inequality is down something that people don't like reading about but wages are up i used to speak during the campaign and i talk about wages where people were making less money. 3 years ago than they were making 21 years ago 22 years ago and they'd have to eat 2 jobs in 3 jobs and when i say 3 years ago i'm talking into the area sometime prior to the election and they were doing very badly and now for the 1st time in many years wages are up and employment is up and unemployment is down and it's

a beautiful thing to watch. in a week of active and ambitious diplomacy here at the united nations america renewed our friendships we advanced our values greatly and made clear to everyone that the united states will always defend our citizens to promote prosperity i met with prime minister boris johnson at length the united kingdom continue more discussions on a magnificent new bilateral trade deal. so we'll see what happens with respect to bracks it but i suspect we'll have a fantastic deal with the u.k. it should be much bigger than it has been over the last number of years over the last 20 years frankly it should be a much bigger deal that's true with many countries we're going to have much bigger trade deals with a lot of countries that have a opportunity to come and they all want to do business with the united states

especially now earlier today i stood alongside prime minister of japan friend of mine a great gentleman had a great reelection. and we signed a terrific new trade deal which tremendously helps our farmers and ranchers and technology the technology companies are. really big beneficiaries we also held very productive conversations with leaders of pakistan india and many other nations in achieving stronger ties of fair and reciprocal trade with respect to pakistan and india we talked about cashmere. and whatever help i can be i said i offer it whether it's arbitration or mediation or whatever it has to be i'll do whatever i can recall is there at a very serious odds right now and hopefully that will get better. you look at the 2 gentlemen heading those 2 countries 2 good friends of mine i said fellows work it

out just work at. was it 2 nuclear countries they've got to work at. this week we also made incredible strides on national security with president dude of poland we signed a joint declaration advancing defense cooperation and crucially poland has agreed to put up 100 percent of the money something i don't think you've ever heard said before but they're going to put up 100 percent of the money of hosting additional u.s. military personnel that will be taking from various other countries we won't have more of or will have will be moving them around poland is building us phenomenal new facilities spending everything and there they're going to really do a job. but we'll be moving a few 1000 soldiers and poland will be paying that for it together with prime minister lee of singapore assigned an important agreement extending our defense

cooperation says i'm been changed in many years and yesterday i met with prospective members of the middle east. strategic alliance which is a group that i know very well i know all of them and through this effort the nations of the middle east are taking more responsibility for securing their own future and their own neighborhood. and they're also reimbursing us and paying us for a lot of the military work that we incredibly do but because we're now independent energy wise we're energy independent we have very few boats going over the middle east we used to have i'm going through the straits all the time. and you probably noticed that. every once in a while they go after somebody else as they haven't gone after as yet if they do they've got big problems but we have very few boats going over there they were saying the other day they've never attacked an american i'm not asking for trouble

but if they do they know they have far bigger trouble. but then they said but you know we don't see very many american boats over here anymore this week also brought extraordinary progress 2 nations of our own hemisphere in recent days we've achieved historic asylum cooperation agreements with el salvador guatemala and honduras we were with el salvador today a great young gentleman became the president he's strong and tough then he's taking care of crime he was really something today i was very impressed with him. and likewise with hundreds who we met. we signed a cooperation agreement with both and also with quantum alo we're working with our partners in central america to ensure that asylum seekers can pursue relief as

close to their home countries as possible that will make a tremendous difference at our southern border. and mexico i have to say president lopez obrador has been outstanding and standing partner and he's doing a great job in mexico the cartels are way down and the numbers are secretaries here now the numbers are way down way way down and we're doing that without the help of congress meaning the democrats in congress who won't give us a single vote to take care of loopholes we have loopholes that are so horrible and it would be so easy to fix and they know they should be fixed but they don't want to do it because they don't want to give trump any credit. because it's all about the election that's all they care about they don't care about our country they care about the election and the said part is with all of the tremendous work that we've done this weekend whether it's secretary minucci in or secretary pompei or who had

some outstanding outstanding meetings with all of this tremendous work that we've done the press as a recovery. and the democrats did this hoax go in the united nations which was perfect because this way it takes away from this tremendous achievements that we're . taking care of doing that we're involved in in new york city it in a the nation so that was all planned like everything else it was all planned and the which aren't continuous but they're getting hit hard in this which aren't because when they look at the information it's a joke impeachment that when you have a wonderful meeting or you have a wonderful phone conversation i think you should ask we actually you know that was the 2nd conversation i think he should ask for the 1st conversation also i can't believe they haven't but i heard there's a there's

a rumor out they want the 1st conversation it was beautiful it was just a perfectly conversation but i think he should do that i think he should do and i think you should ask for v.p. pence's conversation because he had a couple of conversations also i could save you a lot of time there were all perfect nothing was mentioned of any import other than congratulations but the word is that they're going to ask for the 1st phone conversation you can have at any time you need it and also mike pence is conversations which were i think one or 2 of them they were perfect they were all perfect it's very sad what the democrats are doing to this country the dividing. they're belittling their demeaning our country so many leaders came up to me today and they said syria where you go through no president has ever gone through and it's so bad for your country people laugh at the stupidity of what they've asked

for here we could do asylum we could do all of these different things so easily we could do asylum quickly we could do loopholes get rid of them instead we actually make deals with mexico and with guatemala el salvador honduras and we're doing it with them instead of with our congress but we're doing it we get it and the wall is being built by the way it got little coverage i went to the border. it's going up in new mexico it's going up in arizona it's going up in california believe it or not they really one of their wall in california san diego soon as was completed they said we don't want to wall they were begging me for a wall i should take it out and move it oh now the location we were with. the governor spoke to him a lot but the governor of texas will tell you governor of texas attorney general of texas the senators of texas corn ted cruz and we're building an

incredible wall at. going to number it's going to look great it's going to be virtually. impossible to cross unless you're one hell of a mountain climber. it's very tough it's going to be very tough to get people in drugs over those walls because they're the real deal or i went to the secretary of homeland security and he got all those people together i said give me 4 waltz your optimum every single thing included and they give me 20 percent less 20 percent less and 20 percent less meaning less cost. they came back they said this is the wall said this would be the best we have the panels on top which are entitling panels i don't know if you noticed the steel and. we have a different design for a different area but this anti-climax very tough they've we had people going out in real climbers telling us which is the toughest atlanta but these are entitlement

panels. very tough to get across and the wall is going up. many miles a week and we hope to have over 400 but maybe as much as 500 miles which will pretty much do it because you have a lot of natural barriers you have mountains you have really rough rivers you have some really rough land that you can't cross very easily so they serve as their natural walls but we have we think over 400 but we could even have 500 miles to combat the malice corruption of both the venezuela and then iranian dictatorships today she proclamation suspending the entry into the united states of senior regime officials and their families and further to promote american values on monday i was proud to be the 1st president in history to host a meeting at the united nations i was so surprised 1st president for this i can't

believe that i'm for us i spoke to franklin graham about that i can believe it at the united nations on protecting religious freedom and liberty. for people around the world. while some partisans and unelected bureaucrats in washington may choose to fight every day against the interests and beliefs of the american people my administration is standing up for the american people like no administration has in many many years you forgot the american people you totally forgot the american people. this week every. every week i really can say of my presidency we're standing up for american prosperity american security in the american way of life. and together with our friends and partners who are building a more peaceful prosperous and promising future we have a tremendous relationship now with

a lot of nations that are very happy with what's going on and that includes in south america where they've been so helpful when nobody thought this would be possible the relationship with mexico as an example or el salvador honduras or guatemala. nobody even knew about a year we sent them hundreds of millions of dollars and all we got back was caravans of people pouring in we had tremendous we had tremendous it was terrible and we've got that stopped in the countries are now helping us and we stop those payments by the way we don't pay those countries that money anymore but i will tell you if there is good is they seem to be they're really doing a job on crime and stopping. the wrong people from leaving and coming to the united states will be helping them a lot with economic development projects and other things so with that we had

a tremendous 3 days it was beautiful to see made a lot of new friends i read you a list of all the countries i saw pretty much one on one and it's been very busy but it's been very very fruitful so we could take a couple of questions i'd love some questions on some of the things that we accomplished that anger instead of the which aren't the phony which aren't questions which i know that's what you want to ask because. it's probably better for you but it's not better for the country so maybe we'll take a few a few questions place. thank you mr president you suggested that you didn't do anything wrong and in the course of your conversations with the ukrainian president but can you explain to the american people why it is appropriate for an american president to ask a foreign leader for information about a political rival and what you would have said if you discovered that barack obama perhaps at ask a foreign leader for information about you if you campaign for the present while

that's what he did is it really when you think about it like that whole which aren't we started and hopefully that will all come out but they have been some fantastic books written they just came out whether you look at greg jarrett or. mccarthy's book that just. just came out recently and so many other books and a lot of books are coming out when you start reading those books you see what they did what they've done to this country is a disgrace they've hurt this country very badly and no other president should have to go through what i've gone through. the president the new president of ukraine is looking to stop corruption. there's a lot of corruption going on in there was corruption i just told you about senators that threatened him with votes and no money coming into ukraine if they. do things that's really what people are trying to say that i did but the only difference is i didn't do it to take a look at that call it was perfect i didn't do it there was no quid pro quo but

there was with biden and there was with these senators and they threatened they said you do this you do that we're not going to give you votes that's that's the real deal so we have an honest group of people that have been maligned and you know it's a lot of people say i'll do i'll do even better i'm very happy yesterday i guess we had a 53 poll and a lot of people say add 10 points to anything. anybody voting for trump you can add any time you get a poll you can add 10 points or 7 points or 6 points take it any way you want but i don't know if i consider that to be a compliment but in one way it is a compliment and i guess that's what happened in the last election far more people came to vote than anybody thought possible so why should the american people then become people with an american president asking a foreign leader for information about american citizens well i think you could look at your senators and you can look at biden and you can look at all these other people but what we're looking for is corruption

a an investigation started called the russian which aren't faction atlee and it was a total phony scam it was set up by people within the government to try and stop somebody from getting elected and after that per after that person namely me won and convincingly wanted 3 or $6.00 to $223.00 in the electoral college which by the way when you run a race if you're running electoral you know if you go by the college electoral college that's a much different race than running popular vote and it's like the 100 yard dash sure the mile you train differently and i can't help it that my opponent didn't go to wisconsin and should have gone much more to michigan in pennsylvania and other places but that's the way it is. we won an election convincingly convincingly and then you had the text message on well if she doesn't win we've got an insurance

policy how bad was that you know with the insurance policy that's sort of what has been taking place over the last number of years insurance policy you know. there are a lot of very dishonest people with the ones that played it straight and you know what the millions of people out there that are looking at what's going on those people understand it they see it and they think it's disgusting and our people are being hurt and our country is being hired when anansi pelosi allows her position to be taken over by radical far left. socialists or worse. that's pretty bad that's pretty bad especially when the senators and all of these other people have actually done what they are accusing me of doing which i didn't do i'm going to have my pompei i'll say a couple of words i'm going to have stephen nugent say a couple of words and they will do a couple of more questions. to present i thought i'd start by talking

about iran we had a productive week we saw the europeans take a position with respect to the tax that took place the saudi arabia making clear this was a run just as president trump and i had been saying and have now joined us in saying that the existing j. c.p.a. frameworks is not going to work it's not going to solve the world's problems are not going to create middle east ability either we had a good set of meetings with our middle east allies as well the president joined for a meeting of the g.c.c. where we talked again about how we can help deter and we want peace we want a peaceful resolution with the islamic republic of iran we're hoping we can get that way in the end it will be up to the reigns to make that decision whether they'll choose violence and hate in this president said in a speech yesterday to the general assembly if there bloodthirst will continue to help that's the net we hope we can get the opportunity to negotiate with them and get an outcome that's good for both of them for the united states to make sure that they never have a nuclear weapon that they can't foment their terror with ballistic missiles in the way they have all around the world and i think we made real progress uniting the

world on that here over these past few days thank you. secretary pompei i said on iran we had very good discussions with all of our allies about the sanctions program which is the maximum pressure and unity on the sanctions program the europeans made it very clear they would not do anything without our consent and then on the economic front we had the entire economic team here for all the meetings secretary ross larry kudlow ambassador lighthouses are just left to go back to d.c. he's working hard on trying to get you. past but we have a lot of productive discussions the japanese trade deal and a lot of discussions on investing in the u.s. more jobs in the u.s. and more trade thank you. ok. place. thank you christina parts i was fox business i want to focus on markets because

i'll leave it to everybody else to talk about impeachment markets reacted positively after you spoke about china and that it would happen sooner that rather than expect unexpectedly yet you have the foreign minister of china saying that they have no intention of you know unseating the united states yet they're investing heavily in infrastructure in milage not anymore maybe but what is and maybe they just say they create is different this time the fact that you're saying it's progressing oh i just think it's progressing i think they want to make a deal they're losing their supply chain you know if you have something specific well i don't want to say that but i can tell you that these 2 men in this case more specifically steve were having some very good conversations and i guess it's next week that a group is coming in and the week after so we have a lot of we have a lot of talks going on and also by telephone. they want to make a deal and you know why they want to make a deal because they're losing their jobs because their supply chain is going to hell and companies are moving out of china and they're moving to lots of other

places including the united states and that's not good that spar worse than they thought and by the way in the meantime we're taking in billions and billions of dollars in tariffs were taken in tremendous numbers in tariffs and we're helping our farmers who get targeted now by the way china is starting to buy our agricultural products they're starting to go with the beef and all of the different things pork very big on pork but if you look and if you see and they actually put out i think a statement but they're starting very heavy to. ag again now they want to make a deal and they should want to make a deal the question is do we want to make a deal if u.s.m.c. doesn't pass through congress is that it for now after well that will be a shame well i don't want to hence the question but you know how i feel about nafta i think after is the worst trade deal ever made although i also happen to think the world trade organization was not one of the greats not one of the great set.
