mr. morrison, on the same issue of iran, are you open to further military action against iran? or is the australian commitment solely contained to a freedom of navigation? prime minister morrison: well, as the president said, i mean, there are no further activities planned or requested for assistance from australia. so, a question to that extent is moot. i want to commend the president for demonstrating, as you said, in the earlier press conference in the oval office, restraint. there are other measures that he and the secretary have announced today, and are pursuing those channels. so, they're calibrated, very measured response that the united states has taken is a matter for them and obviously at any time with issues arise with us as an ally, we consider them on their merits of the time and in australia's national interest. i think that's where that's heading. president trump: thank you very much. and jennifer, thank you very much. first lady, thank you. i hope you'll be able to see tonight to the media because really it's going to be a beautiful evening in honor of australia

we're in this thing together. >> [laughter] pm morrison: mr.ughter] australia might -- look, he's a new yorker. mr. president, australian may often look to the united states, but we have never been a country that has been prepared to leave it to the united states. we don't. that's not our way. we pull our weight. like you, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor are found in our willingness to stand for what we believe. we believe, as teddy roosevelt declared, that national strength is founded in the ability of citizens to live out their lives with self-restraint, self-mastery, common sense, the power of accepting individual responsibility, and the ability to act in conjunction with others and with courage and resolution. we believe in the capacity of enterprise and free markets to create wealth and to lift all, and for free and fair trade to bring nations closer together. we believe that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed, and that the ballot box and democracy is the surest foundation for peace and security. a

mr. morrison, did you discuss further military action in order to keep the pressure on iran? what might those military actions be and what could australia contribute to that? mr. morrison, on that -- >> hold it one second, you'll get a second try, you'll get a shot at your prime minister. i'm sure you're looking forward to it. we didn't discuss too much on iran. we discussed more trade, more china, we discussed afghanistan, where australia is helping us. and we're slowly reducing in afghanistan, as people know. we've been very effective in afghanistan. and if we wanted to do a certain method of war, we would win that very quickly. but many, many, really tens of millions of people would be killed. and we think it's unnecessary. but australia has been a great help to us in afghanistan. but we're reducing in afghanistan. we're reducing in syria where we had -- you know, we've taken over 100% of the caliphate, we have 100%. when i came in, it was smaller, but it was a mess, it was all over, and now it's -- it's in a position, and i don't want to repeat what i said before with the
