00:00:00.000
Victory Day, World War II, May 8th, and just by happenstance, we have the Prime Minister on the
00:00:08.360
phone, and we were great allies in that, and it's very unusual that the trade deal comes due,
00:00:14.120
and we signed it up on the same day that we had a great victory, the greatest victory of them all.
00:00:19.760
So we are talking more and more about Victory Day because we were a big part of it, and so was
00:00:26.560
the UK, and it's just, I guess, I don't know what you call it. It's just incredible that that day
00:00:35.220
is the same day that we signed a tremendous trade deal for both countries. So I'm going to begin by
00:00:41.960
just adding that we just concluded the rare earth deal with Ukraine. That's been fully ratified and
00:00:48.660
approved by their legislative branches, and so we appreciate that, and I'll be speaking with
00:00:54.560
the President in a little while, a little bit later, and we appreciate that, but the deal is
00:01:00.940
all now signed up and ratified, and we have access to a massive amount of very, very high quality rare
00:01:08.540
earth. This morning, I'm thrilled to announce that we have reached a breakthrough trade deal with
00:01:14.760
the United Kingdom, an incredible country. Today is a victory day for World War II. We won the war
00:01:23.080
together exactly 80 years ago, so there could be no more perfect morning to reach this historic
00:01:29.260
agreement, and it's beautiful weather out. I will tell you that, Keir, beautiful weather. It's so
00:01:33.340
perfect outside. But it's really, in particular, the agreement with one of our closest and most cherished
00:01:42.020
allies, and we're so happy that that's the way it worked out. I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer and
00:01:49.080
his very talented team for their outstanding work and partnership. Today's agreement with the UK is the
00:01:57.260
first in a series of agreements on trade that my administration has been negotiating over the past
00:02:02.260
four weeks. With this deal, the UK joins the United States in affirming that reciprocity and fairness is an
00:02:10.360
essential and vital principle of international trade. The deal includes billions of dollars of increased
00:02:18.260
market access for American exports, especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for
00:02:24.820
American beef, ethanol, and virtually all of the products produced by our great farmers. And our
00:02:33.140
secretary, as you know, of agriculture is here, Brooke. Thank you very much for being here.
00:02:37.780
Thank you. Thank you, sir. You'll let the farmers know. In addition, the UK will reduce or eliminate
00:02:44.260
numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly discriminated against American products. But this is now turning
00:02:50.820
out, I think, really to be a great deal for both countries because it'll be really great for the UK
00:02:55.700
also. So they're opening up the country. Their country is a little closed and we appreciate that.
00:03:03.860
They'll also be fast tracking American goods through their customs process. So our exports go
00:03:09.220
to a very, very quick form of approval. And there won't be any red tape. Things are going to move
00:03:16.820
very quickly both ways. The final details are being written up in the coming weeks. We'll have it all
00:03:22.740
very conclusive. But the actual deal is a very conclusive one. We think just about everything's been
00:03:28.900
approved. So good for both countries. And we'll also receive new market access for American chemicals,
00:03:36.020
machinery and many other industrial products that weren't allowed. And they'll end up getting
00:03:42.100
products that they'll be able to price. And if they like them better and we make great products,
00:03:46.580
they'll be buying those products. But they were not available in the UK.
00:03:50.900
Furthermore, in a historic step, the deal includes plans that will bring the United Kingdom into the
00:03:57.220
economic security alignment with the United States. That's the first of its kind. So we have a big
00:04:03.700
economic security blanket. And that's very important. And we feel very, very comfortable
00:04:09.380
with that because it's been a great ally, truly one of our great allies. I mean, a lot of people say
00:04:14.260
our greatest ally. I don't want to insult people by saying that, but I can say it's certainly one of
00:04:19.140
our greatest and right at the top. And they're the first one we're talking about. And by the way,
00:04:24.420
we have many meetings planned today and tomorrow. And every country wants to be making deals.
00:04:30.820
And we have a meeting, as you know, Scott will be going over to Switzerland on Saturday. And that'll
00:04:37.460
be very, very interesting. Let's find out. But I think they want to make a deal very badly too.
00:04:43.380
Both countries have agreed that the economic security is national security and we'll be
00:04:47.540
working together as allies to ensure that we have a strong industrial base, appropriate export
00:04:52.740
controls and protections for key technologies and industries like steel. Steel is a big factor.
00:04:59.140
Both countries will become stronger with steel and things necessary for military. You know,
00:05:04.020
we used to build ships and other things, literally at a level that nobody's ever seen. And
00:05:10.660
we haven't, we've eased up. And I would say that the UK certainly eased up, but now we're going to be
00:05:14.980
uneasing both and we work together. Once again, I want to thank Prime Minister Starmer. He's been terrific
00:05:20.820
for his partnership in this matter, the special relationship and external bond. It's really an external and
00:05:27.140
an internal bond between our two countries will soon be stronger than ever before. And we really do.
00:05:33.060
We have a great relationship. I want to just say that the representatives of UK have been so
00:05:38.660
professional and it's been an honor doing business with all of them and in particular the Prime Minister.
00:05:45.140
And I'd like to introduce him now to say a few words. Mr. Prime Minister, please take it away.
00:05:50.980
Thank you, Mr. President, Donald. And this is a really fantastic historic day in which we can announce
00:06:01.940
this deal between our two great countries. And I think it's a real tribute to the history that we
00:06:09.140
have of working so closely together. Can I pay tribute, Donald, to your negotiating team as well,
00:06:14.740
particularly Howard and Jameson, who've done an incredible job, a very professional job,
00:06:20.740
and my team as well, two negotiating teams have worked at Pace now for a number of weeks to bring
00:06:27.460
in this deal today. Really important deal. This is going to boost trade between and across our countries.
00:06:35.540
It's going to not only protect jobs, but create jobs, opening market access. And as you say,
00:06:42.900
Donald, the timing couldn't be more apt because not only was it 80 years ago today
00:06:51.140
that victory came for Europe after and at the end of the Second World War. But of course, on that day,
00:07:00.340
the UK and the US stood together as the closest of allies. And Donald, I think, even down to the hour,
00:07:08.100
because you may or may not know that it was about this time of day, exactly 80 years ago,
00:07:15.220
that Winston Churchill announced victory in Europe. And that led to great celebrations
00:07:23.620
across Europe, across America, but particularly in the United Kingdom, literally people going out into
00:07:29.940
the street, putting bunting up, going up to the palace. And so to be able to announce this great deal
00:07:38.660
on the same day, 80 years forward, almost at the same hour, and as we were 80 years ago, with the UK and
00:07:48.900
the US standing side by side, I think is incredibly important and makes this truly historic.
00:07:56.980
That close relationship has endured over those 80 years. As you know, Donald, when it comes to defence
00:08:03.140
and security and intelligence sharing, of course, there are no two countries that are closer than our
00:08:08.500
two countries. And now we take this into new and important territory by adding trade and the economy
00:08:15.380
to the closeness of our relationship. It is built, as you say, on those notions of fairness and
00:08:23.220
reciprocal arrangements. We've always had a fair and balanced arrangement between our countries.
00:08:28.100
This builds on that, hugely important for sectors like car manufacturing and for steel and aluminium and
00:08:36.340
so many others. And yes, we can finish hunting out some of the details, but there's a
00:08:42.500
fantastic platform here, including, of course, on the tech side, where I think I'm right in saying
00:08:47.940
we're the only two Western countries with trillion dollar sectors when it comes to tech. And in the
00:08:55.060
end, it comes down to, as you say, Donald, economic security is national security of national security.
00:09:02.900
We've been absolutely the closest of allies for so many years, keeping the peace through that close
00:09:08.900
alliance, that friendship. And now we add to that, this deal on trade and the economy. And I want to
00:09:17.060
thank you for your leadership on that, Donald, and for the way in which your team have negotiated this.
00:09:24.740
And I'm so pleased that we've got this deal, we finalised it, and we've built an incredible platform
00:09:32.580
for the future. So thank you so much. Donald, I'm now going to go and do a press conference. I think
00:09:39.700
you have your press in with you. But on the details, I think if you've got Howard, we can deal with that
00:09:48.580
through one of my team. That's great. Well, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much. It's an honour. We're
00:09:54.340
going to have a continued, maybe a better relationship than ever before. You know, I don't know if the media
00:10:00.180
knows, but the U.S. and U.K. have been working for years to try and make a deal. And it never quite
00:10:08.020
got there. But it did with this Prime Minister. So I want to just congratulate you.
00:10:12.660
Well, with this President, this Prime Minister, we've managed to achieve what many people have
00:10:16.580
tried to achieve for many years. And I'm really pleased. And it feels completely historic and on a
00:10:23.780
special 80-year anniversary as well. So, Donald, thank you so much. It's really good to have got this
00:10:30.180
deal over the line. Tribute to both teams. Tribute to our countries. And tribute to your leadership.
00:10:36.260
Thank you. Well, it really is a great thing. And you go do your press conference. And I'll see
00:10:40.420
you soon. Maybe speak to you later. But thank you very much. And an incredible thing. I can't tell
00:10:45.700
you that for so many years, even as I sat, everybody talked and talked and talked about a deal with — it
00:10:51.540
just seemed like a natural deal. But it was not done. But now it was done with us. So I feel
00:10:56.900
very proud to have been a part of it. Keir, thank you very much.
00:11:05.540
Why don't I do this? Why don't I have our Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick,
00:11:19.140
give a little description of the deal pretty quick. And then the good side, the very nice side.
00:11:27.940
We'll be speaking about it also, maybe. So you get a pretty equal — I think it's a very — it's just
00:11:34.980
been a deal that was, we thought, very complicated. It became very simple. It's opening up the country
00:11:40.500
that we really didn't have the kind of access to that I would have thought. I was surprised. I think
00:11:44.340
it's why the deal never got done before. It was — you know, they've been working on this deal for 25
00:11:48.660
years. And we got it done and we got it done. Really, it's going to be great for both countries.
00:11:54.020
So, Howard, if you could go and then somebody else, you may have — you'll pick whoever — whoever
00:12:00.660
you want who'd like to do it. I have a feeling you're going to do it, right? So, you guys go ahead and
00:12:06.020
then we'll take questions right after that. But I think you'll get a pretty good understanding of
00:12:09.860
how big it is. It's a very large deal, very big deal. And, Howard, go ahead.
00:12:14.100
So, the UK is the sixth largest economy in the world and the fourth largest that we export to,
00:12:23.060
right? So, it's a huge market, a top 10 market. If you remember Liberation Day,
00:12:29.380
they were at 10 percent because we have balanced trade with the UK, right? They say they have a
00:12:35.220
surplus. But, of course, that counts gold bullion, which is — so, let's just call it balanced trade.
00:12:40.980
So, how do you open up a market in balanced trade? People think it's impossible. They've always
00:12:45.540
thought it was impossible until President Trump came on the scene and changed the way things work.
00:12:51.300
So, here's what we've got. We've opened up new market access — ethanol, beef, machinery,
00:12:58.820
all the agricultural products. They've agreed to open their markets,
00:13:02.660
and that will add $5 billion of opportunity to American exporters. So, the question is, why would
00:13:10.420
they do that now because they've never done it before? And we still have a 10 percent tariff on,
00:13:15.620
which will produce $6 billion of revenue for the United States. So, the idea was, how do they keep
00:13:22.020
their jobs, protect their economy, and do the best for their people while opening the market for us?
00:13:28.580
And the ways they studied it, their team was exceptional, and they tried to figure out the
00:13:33.380
markets that they're importing from other people and try to send them over to America. So, why were
00:13:38.980
they always favoring others and not us? And what they've done is they've found the ways to do that
00:13:45.460
so that we have new access, right? But the UK workers are protected. And that was the balance. So, you've got,
00:13:53.620
we did a deal with them in automobiles. And you know, if you're not building here, we charge you a 25
00:14:00.100
percent tariff. But the president — and by the way, I want to make this clear. While Jameson and I worked
00:14:04.820
hard, this was the president's deal. And people think, oh, that's not the way it works. If you
00:14:09.460
got to sit next to him, I have the best dealmaker to my left. And if you don't think that we take
00:14:15.620
advantage of him calling the prime minister and getting that deal done, you don't understand who's the
00:14:20.820
president of the United States. So, he's the closer. He gets deals done that we could never get done
00:14:26.820
because he understands business. He understands deals. And that's why we're here today. So, he agreed
00:14:33.860
they could send 100,000 cars into America and only pay a 10 percent tariff. And that protects their car
00:14:41.860
industry. And remember, we do 16 million cars a year. So, this is only like 0.6 percent. But for the UK
00:14:50.020
auto people, this is tens of thousands of jobs that the president agreed that he would protect for
00:14:56.100
them. So, he made that deal, right? Then steel and aluminum, right? Their steel business has been
00:15:02.180
destroyed like everybody else has been destroyed by people dumping steel into their markets. And
00:15:08.180
British Steel had announced it was closing down. So, the British government, as part of this deal,
00:15:13.540
nationalized British steel. And they're going to match the kinds of models we do. They'll put tariffs on,
00:15:19.700
they'll put quotas on. They want to do it with America so they can be part of the resurgence of
00:15:26.020
steel and aluminum in America. And that saves them, again, thousands and thousands of jobs.
00:15:31.780
So, if you go step-by-step, aero and commercial planes, they sell Rolls-Royce engines to Boeing.
00:15:40.340
We've agreed to let Rolls-Royce engines and those kind of plane parts to come over tariff-free. And what you're
00:15:47.220
going to hear today is there's going to be an announcement in the UK that they are buying $10
00:15:52.900
billion worth of Boeing planes later today. But I'm going to let the name of the airline announce it
00:15:59.460
because that's theirs to do. But part of this deal was always to do it together and to do it strong.
00:16:06.100
And you can see the numbers on this board. Everything about this board works exceptionally well for the
00:16:11.140
United States of America. It lays out the plan that you can work with us in autos. You can work
00:16:16.420
with us with aero and commercial. You can work with us in pharmaceuticals if you have a supply chain
00:16:22.260
that is secure and protected in national security. So, we feel really good about the deal. You've heard
00:16:27.620
the Prime Minister. He feels really good about the deal, right? And we started at 10 percent and we
00:16:32.500
ended at 10 percent and the market for America is better. And this is a perfect example of why Donald
00:16:40.100
Trump produced the Liberation Day. People don't understand he gets things done in a matter of time.
00:16:46.980
This would have taken Jameson and I three years, maybe, and instead we got it done in 45 days,
00:16:54.820
certainly, because we work for Donald Trump. So, Jameson, my partner in all this, maybe Jameson you'd like
00:17:00.260
to talk a little and then we'll turn it over to the UK.
00:17:02.260
Mr. Sure. Happy to do that. Everyone has had great remarks. I just have to echo the President,
00:17:08.980
the Prime Minister, when we talk about VE Day. This is something we've been waiting for for decades
00:17:13.140
and there is no more appropriate day to do this. And when we step back and we look back a few weeks
00:17:18.020
from now or months from now or years from now, we're going to look back at this day and better
00:17:22.100
appreciate the significance, I think. And I'll just say as well, in terms of negotiating, I mean,
00:17:27.700
the UK negotiators, we've got one right here, did an incredible job, right? This is why you win wars,
00:17:34.500
right? When you act like this. And the ambassador, he knows more about trade than a lot of us here
00:17:39.300
based on his background. And I would say on this deal, Mr. President, what we've shown is that it is
00:17:44.580
time to change the way we do trade. People said we couldn't do a global tariff, we did a global tariff.
00:17:51.620
They said no one would want to deal with us, people want to deal. They said no one give offers,
00:17:55.060
you saw that stack of offers I showed you yesterday. All those countries said we wouldn't
00:17:58.740
get deals. And here we are with a deal with the sixth largest economy. We've agreed to have fair
00:18:03.220
reciprocal trade and we've done it in record time. Thank you very much. Great job.
00:18:08.260
Mr. Well, Mr. President, thank you very much indeed in hosting us this morning.
00:18:16.100
And thank you very much indeed also for that very typical 11th hour intervention by you and your
00:18:24.580
phone call to the President demanding even more out of this deal than any of us expected. So thank you
00:18:32.020
for that. The Prime Minister was delighted obviously to take that call later tonight. But you took it to
00:18:39.460
another level and I think the point I would make is twofold. One is that if we're going to rebalance
00:18:47.940
and rebuild international trade in a way that serves all our interests, then we're better doing that
00:18:55.780
together than separately and apart. And that's what we're on a mission to do. But secondly, you've done
00:19:04.340
what you said you would do. You said to the Prime Minister when he came and we visited in the Oval
00:19:13.380
that you would do a good trade deal with the United Kingdom, that you would do it at pace and that we
00:19:20.420
would be first. And you have delivered that. You've been true to your words. So thank you very much indeed
00:19:26.820
for that. For us it's not the end, it's the sort of, it's the end just of the beginning. I mean there is
00:19:34.900
yet more we can do in reducing tariffs and trade barriers so as to open up our markets to each other
00:19:43.620
even more than we are agreeing to do today. But it also provides us with the platform, the springboard,
00:19:51.460
to do what I think will be even more valuable for both our countries in the future and that's
00:19:58.820
creating a technology partnership between the United States and the United Kingdom so that we can harness
00:20:08.020
science and technology in order to create future industries and future jobs. And to do that together
00:20:15.460
in the way we work so closely already in the national security and defense area, we can just take that to
00:20:22.580
yet further areas of science, enterprise and endeavor. So we're looking forward to doing that in the
00:20:31.460
coming months. You've launched us extremely well today. It just, in my view, as the Prime Minister has
00:20:40.660
said, just shows what two countries who trust each other, who are confident in each other and are
00:20:47.380
familiar with each other can do, not just for ourselves, but for those in the rest of the world
00:20:53.140
who need to benefit from a bigger and better international trading system.
00:20:57.140
The President. Thank you very much. That was beautifully stated. What a beautiful accent.
00:21:01.940
The President. I'd like to have that accent. Thank you.
00:21:05.860
The President. Thank you very much. Any questions?
00:21:10.820
Can I ask, why Britain? And why now? And you've described this deal as a full and comprehensive deal,
00:21:19.700
and yet we've just heard from Mr. Martin. So that's the end of the beginning. Clearly,
00:21:23.940
there's much more work still to do. With respect, are you overstating the reach
00:21:28.820
and significance of this deal with the official President who needs a result at a difficult time?
00:21:33.780
Mr. I think that it's a great deal for both parties. It's for us. We're opened up. I didn't know
00:21:40.020
how closed it was. Quite closed, the market, as you know, the UK. And it opens up a tremendous market
00:21:46.260
for us. And it works out very well, very well. And a lot of assets, you see the chart, and those are
00:21:55.220
tremendous assets. But we've been trying. And when you say, why us, meaning your country,
00:22:00.980
we've been trying for years. And they've been trying for years to make a deal,
00:22:04.020
including when I was in the, you know, first term. It would always be people talking,
00:22:09.540
but they weren't getting it done. But for 25 years before that, they were trying always to make
00:22:15.780
a deal, a very significant deal. I actually, until I looked at the numbers, I didn't realize this is a very
00:22:22.420
conclusive deal. But we think we can grow it even from that. But this is a maxed out deal,
00:22:27.860
not like you said it. You said it really incorrectly. This is a maxed out deal that we're
00:22:34.420
going to make bigger. And we make it bigger through growth. But we have tremendous assets involved.
00:22:41.620
I was surprised to see how big your country is in trade, actually. You know, one of the biggest
00:22:46.100
in technology and so many other things, it's agriculture. I really didn't know. It's,
00:22:52.660
depending on your definition, it's from four to five to six. It's, that's pretty big in the world.
00:22:58.260
So I was very impressed by that. But we're going to take it to new levels. It's a very big deal right
00:23:06.340
now. But I think it is going to grow just of its own volition, it's going to grow. And over time,
00:23:12.100
there'll be changes made. There'll be adjustments made because we're flexible. We'll see things that
00:23:17.620
we can do even better. But it's very conclusive. And we, we think everyone's going to be happy. And
00:23:24.260
the people of your country are going to be very impressed with the result. And they'll be able to
00:23:30.100
buy from more people. They'll be able to price things differently. They'll be able to get some
00:23:33.540
products that aren't available to them now that we make better than anybody in the world.
00:23:38.340
And it's just something that it's, it's a great thing that it came together. It's so nice because
00:23:44.900
we have many countries want to make a deal. And many countries are very unhappy that we happen to
00:23:52.020
choose this one, to be honest with you. But it's a long time. Our oldest ally, or just about,
00:23:59.460
I guess a couple of people claim that too. But let's put it right at the top.
00:24:03.860
I think it's going to be something very special for U.K. and special for the United States.
00:24:09.380
Thank you, Mr. President. Reagan Reese with The Daily Caller.
00:24:14.900
How close are you to more deals? And when do you expect the next to be announced?
00:24:18.820
Well, very close. We have numerous deals. I know Howard's going back. As soon as this is
00:24:23.140
finished, your press conference, he's got numerous. And Scott, who's right over here, who's fantastic,
00:24:28.340
by the way. You were great on television this morning. I watched you. You gave them a little
00:24:33.940
lesson in the world and economics. But Scott is going to be going to Switzerland, meeting with China.
00:24:41.860
And, you know, they very much want to make a deal. We can, we can all play games. Who made the first call?
00:24:47.700
Who didn't make it? It doesn't matter. It only matters what happens in that room.
00:24:51.140
But I will tell you that China very much wants to make a deal. We'll see how that works out.
00:24:58.420
Every country throughout the last 40, 50 years has literally ripped off the United States on trade,
00:25:04.980
on military, on protection, on all the different things. And we are now making fair deals.
00:25:10.100
And in this case, it's great because we really weren't very much involved. You have the European Union,
00:25:16.100
which is, I think, you know, I think you made the right decision years ago. I don't know if you
00:25:21.060
remember, I was opening up Turnberry the day that you were voting. And they asked me, would it happen
00:25:26.900
or would it not happen? I said, no, I think they're going to go their own separate way. I think it's
00:25:30.580
better for them. And they did. I think it's going to end up being a very smart decision. But
00:25:35.700
a big part of that decision was always that you'd be able to make a deal with the United States. And they
00:25:40.020
were unable to do that. But now they made it. And it's a tremendous, you know, it's very important.
00:25:46.100
That was always a big part of your decision on Brexit. And they were never able to make that deal.
00:25:52.500
It was, you know, it was a tough one. And this one was, it's amazing with time.
00:25:57.540
This one just went very smoothly, went quickly and smoothly. And a lot of common sense, as I like to
00:26:03.540
say, it's tremendous common sense. But it's going to make your country much bigger in terms of trade.
00:26:08.580
And it's going to make our country much bigger in terms of trade, too. Yes.
00:26:15.060
The President, Tom Bateman at the BBC. Thank you, Mr. President.
00:26:18.820
You mentioned meat and the BBC. The President, oh, good. Very nice. They treat me beautifully.
00:26:23.140
The President, you mentioned meat and beef exports. The UK currently doesn't accept American
00:26:29.140
beef because of its own food standards. Are you calling on the UK to accept all American
00:26:37.060
beef and chicken products? Well, I think they'll take what they want.
00:26:42.340
We have plenty of it. We have every type. We have every classification you can have.
00:26:48.820
As you know, Bobby Kennedy is doing a tremendous job. And he's,
00:26:52.660
I think, probably heading toward your system with no chemical, no this, no that.
00:26:58.500
I mean, I think we're heading that way. It seems to be.
00:27:00.740
And, but we have that also. So, we have, we're a very big country. We have a lot of beef.
00:27:08.420
We're a very big country. So, it'll be, it'll be great. Yes. Yes.
00:27:14.580
really quickly. And it can't be understated. I'm Brooke Rollins, by the way,
00:27:18.100
how important this deal is and what this means to American farmers and ranchers. Specific to the beef,
00:27:23.380
this is going to exponentially increase our beef exports. And to be very clear, American beef is
00:27:29.860
the safest, the best quality, and the crown jewel of American agriculture for the world. So, I think
00:27:36.260
a really important part of this deal isn't just the ethanol reducing of tariffs from 19 to zero,
00:27:41.060
which for our row croppers is a huge deal, but also for beef. And as we move forward, I know our
00:27:46.740
incredible trade team is looking at all of the meats, all of the produce, really all of our agriculture
00:27:51.700
exports. And I don't know if there's an industry that has been treated more unfairly and has
00:27:56.580
suffered more than our agriculture industry. So, we look forward to it. I'll be in the UK on Monday
00:28:01.620
talking to my counterpart over there for the next, really for next week. And I look forward to moving
00:28:06.660
that out across the country. The President is incredible.
00:28:08.580
The President is incredible. I think we could say that we have
00:28:10.420
the best in the world, best tractors, the best everything in the world. And they say that our
00:28:17.140
agriculture is, you know, second to none, you understand. And it'll be a great asset.
00:28:21.140
People are going to be able to have options, choice, and they'll have more of it.
00:28:25.300
And that usually means lower prices. How about we'll do you and then you?
00:28:32.660
Palm Time Media. So, congratulations for the deal. We see a big revenues from the chart.
00:28:37.380
But what's the rest of Europe? There is — it's a victory day, but other European country
00:28:44.100
The President is trying to make a deal with Europe.
00:28:45.620
We have found that the European Union treated us extremely unfairly — very difficult — and hurt
00:28:53.780
themselves in doing so. And they very much want to make a deal. We'll be dealing with them. We are
00:28:58.020
dealing with them currently. So, that'll cover pretty much the rest of it. But this was separate.
00:29:04.100
Because of Brexit, in particular, you know, this was a separate — a separate deal. It always seems so
00:29:09.940
natural. I mean, all the media would say that this seemed to be like, why did this happen 25 years? Why did it
00:29:15.300
happen a long time ago? And it was always amazing to me. And somebody would say, hey,
00:29:20.340
we got to make a deal. We have to make a deal. But this deal just fell into place. The Prime
00:29:24.980
Minister did a fantastic job. His representatives are total professionals, and they got along well.
00:29:30.340
And it just seemed to work. And I think one of the reasons it did is because we blew up the whole
00:29:35.380
system. If we would have just been dealing with you separately or, you know, country by country,
00:29:40.340
we blew up the whole system. It was very fair to the United — very unfair to the United
00:29:45.140
States. And I think because of that, this worked out so nicely. And I'm honored that it was the first
00:29:51.300
deal. Please. Thank you. Sir, you mentioned — Well, why don't you go in the back? Yes.
00:29:55.300
Oh, thank you, sir. It's — I'm with the London Times. I would say this is a great day for James Bond,
00:29:59.540
because now Aston Martins will be available to America. But it'll be even better by extending it to film.
00:30:07.060
I mean, you've talked about a big tariff on films, and we'd like to know if there'd be relief on British —
00:30:11.140
Well, we're going to have a discussion on that, separately. And as you know,
00:30:15.780
we're putting tariffs on that particular film, he said — the movie makers. And we're going to be
00:30:22.020
doing some tariffs to get them — because a lot of them have left this country. They all live here.
00:30:28.580
The money comes from here. Everything comes from here. But they make them in other countries.
00:30:32.260
So we're going to do something to bring them back — maybe to a large extent. But James Bond has nothing to
00:30:40.100
worry about that, I can tell you. James Bond. And, you know, Sean Connery was a friend of
00:30:44.020
mine. Sean Connery was responsible for my getting zoning in Aberdeen. He said,
00:30:48.660
let the bloody bloke build his golf courses. And, you know, I was like four years into the process,
00:30:55.060
and it was impossible in Aberdeen. And he — I don't know — he just stood up one day,
00:31:00.500
and he said that. As soon as he said that, I got the approvals in about two minutes.
00:31:04.580
So he had great — he was a great guy, Sean Connery, and a great character.
00:31:08.500
The Press, are you going back there in the — later in the year? Are you going back to — are you going to
00:31:11.620
Scotland and to the — Mr. I will be sure. That's great.
00:31:14.340
And we have a lot of investment over there. We have Turnberry, Aberdeen. We have, as you know,
00:31:19.140
in Doonbeg, in Ireland, right on the ocean. They're all on the ocean. I only have interests if they're
00:31:24.740
on the ocean. And we have — we have good investments over there. It's been beautiful. Yes.
00:31:30.100
The Press, Mr. President, if the talks go well this weekend between Secretary Bessett and Ambassador
00:31:34.180
Greer with their Chinese counterparts, not preemptively. But if the talks go well,
00:31:38.260
would you then consider lowering the tariff rate on China?
00:31:41.060
The President, well, it could be. I mean, we're going to see. Right now,
00:31:44.020
you can't get any higher. It's at 145. So we know it's coming down.
00:31:48.500
I think we're going to have a very good relationship. You know, I always got along
00:31:51.540
very well with President Xi. That relationship was greatly disturbed by COVID when COVID came in.
00:31:58.100
But we get along very well now. I mean, we had a — I mean, the relationship was hurt with a lot of
00:32:03.780
people, a lot of countries when COVID came in. But I think we're going to have a very good
00:32:08.660
relationship. I expect to have a very good relationship with China, Scott. I think it's a
00:32:14.500
very friendly meeting. They look forward to doing it in an elegant way. China, as you know,
00:32:20.660
has a tremendous trade surplus with us. And we can't — you know, we just can't have that.
00:32:25.140
And — but I think it's going to — I think it's going to be very good for both countries.
00:32:29.780
I would like to see China opened. You know, one of the big things here is — and nobody would
00:32:34.580
know this — but the U.K. was largely closed. It was very much closed to trade. And now it's opened.
00:32:40.500
And a lot of the financial reporters are very happy about that, because it's so much — I listen to
00:32:46.100
them. I hope they get countries opened up. And then you compete on a fair basis. But you can't
00:32:51.620
compete when you're not allowed to go there. China would be the number one example of that.
00:32:56.660
You know, it's very close. We almost had it last time, before COVID. And that didn't work out.
00:33:03.380
But we made a great deal with China. They had to buy $50 billion worth of our food products. And
00:33:08.340
it was a great deal, doing very well for our farmers. And then when Biden came in,
00:33:12.100
as usual, nothing happened. You know, he didn't enforce it. And it got less,
00:33:15.940
less, less, less. And ultimately, you know, destroyed a great deal. That was a great deal.
00:33:20.740
But, no, I think that we're going to have a — I think we're going to have a good weekend with
00:33:25.140
China. I think they have a lot to gain. I do think they have far more to gain than we do,
00:33:29.620
in a sense. But we're going to have a good — I think we're going to have a very good weekend.
00:33:36.900
The President of the United States. Yeah, sure. Depending on what Scott
00:33:39.060
says, we sort of — Scott is doing certain countries, and Howard is doing certain countries.
00:33:46.260
I mean, I wish I had like 10 more of each if we — then we could do them all at one time.
00:33:51.060
The President of the United States. But there will be a time — we'll do a number of them.
00:33:54.100
And then there'll be a time — I think I can say this, Scott and Howard — where
00:33:58.260
we're just going to say — because we understand the countries, we understand what they want — where
00:34:03.140
we're just going to make the deal. In other words, we don't need the country involvement because we've
00:34:08.340
already had it. And we'll say this particular country, which had big surpluses, let's say — we
00:34:13.940
had, therefore, deficits — that this particular country is going to pay a 25 percent tariff,
00:34:19.060
or a 30 percent, or a 50 percent, or a 10 percent, or whatever it may be.
00:34:24.180
This was — I think we should explain it, Howard. One of the things we did here that we'll
00:34:29.220
rarely do is, on cars, we took it from 25 to 10 on Rolls-Royce, because Rolls-Royce is not going to be
00:34:36.580
built here. I wouldn't even ask them to do that. You know, it's a very special car.
00:34:41.940
And it's a very limited number, too. It's not, you know, one of the monster car companies that makes
00:34:47.380
millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury. And that includes
00:34:52.100
Bentley and Jaguar. So we have some very special cars. So in order to help that industry — and that's
00:34:59.620
really, you know, handmade stuff. And they've been doing it for a long time in the same location.
00:35:07.700
And I said, yeah, that would be — let's help them out with that one. But that's different than
00:35:11.140
a car company that comes out and makes millions of cars, which they'll be doing in our country.
00:35:15.940
They're going to build — we have many, many factories, car plants being built or going to be
00:35:23.860
built very soon. I think we can say that we'll be close to $10 trillion of investment. I think we're
00:35:32.100
actually at that number now, if you add up some of the ones we haven't heard about yet. I mean,
00:35:36.980
we have some going up right now. They have plants going up, and they haven't even spoken to us.
00:35:40.820
They're doing it because of the tariffs. And tariffs have always been used against us. And I never
00:35:45.700
understood — I used to sit back — as you know, China paid hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs
00:35:51.620
when I was president. But until then, China never paid anything. And, you know, they really did a big
00:35:57.380
number on us from the standpoint of trade. But we are using tariffs now for our benefit. And we have
00:36:06.820
now close to $10 trillion — think of that — $10 trillion. If you look at the past administration — and
00:36:13.860
we're talking about over, you know, essentially two months, because we could say three, but it took a
00:36:18.420
little while to get the office in perfect shape, right? It took a little while to get things done.
00:36:24.020
But once we started, when you think of that, close to $10 trillion of investment. You've had years
00:36:30.820
where the United States wouldn't do that in a whole — wouldn't do $1 trillion in a year,
00:36:34.660
wouldn't do anywhere near $1 trillion. We did $10 trillion in two months. So it's amazing what's
00:36:40.740
happening. We're getting calls from — and that has to do with chips, has to do with cars. We used to make
00:36:47.060
chips. We had Intel. And we used to make chips. We had a monopoly on chips. Everything was made
00:36:51.620
here. And now, over a period of years, because of presidents that didn't know what they were doing,
00:36:55.780
they allowed that business to be stolen from us. Most of it moved to Taiwan. And you probably were in
00:37:01.860
the same position, right? Because you had a lot of the chip-making capacity. But they moved it in.
00:37:06.500
And if we would have said, that's fine. If you want to move it to Taiwan, that's good. But if you want to
00:37:11.620
sell back into the United States, we're going to put a 50 percent or 100 percent tariff on — they would have
00:37:16.580
never left. But we had people sitting here that didn't understand that. And it's too bad.
00:37:22.020
But now they're coming back, because I'm saying it — I'm saying it about 40 years too late.
00:37:26.740
But they're coming back. As you know, we have the biggest chipmakers in the world spending,
00:37:31.060
in one case, $300 billion. In one case, $500 billion — same as Apple. And in another case, $200 billion.
00:37:39.860
And we're going to have a large share — a very, very substantial share — of the chip-making market.
00:37:44.660
The Press is going to be a friendly visit. But do you expect that it will just be a
00:37:51.460
formality to break the ice? Or are they going to get into substantive negotiations?
00:37:55.700
The President I believe so, yes. I believe it's substantive, yes.
00:37:59.300
I think people like to say, yes, we're having a meeting to meet. Well, we're meeting,
00:38:03.140
so what are we going to do? Talk about meeting again?
00:38:06.260
So, I think it's going to be substantive. I think we can say that. Right, Scott?
00:38:09.940
Very substantive. Now, China wants to do something. And look, they have to at this point.
00:38:16.420
You know, essentially, they made a trillion dollars a year, and now they have absolutely,
00:38:23.220
you know, no business because of the tariffs. They have no business, and they want to have business.
00:38:27.620
And we want them to have business. We want them to do well. We want them to do very well. So,
00:38:32.660
I think it's going to be very substantive. But we're seeing, as a result, the ports here in the
00:38:43.140
U.S., the traffic has really slowed, and now thousands of dock workers and truck drivers
00:38:48.900
are worried about their jobs. That means we lose less money. When I see that,
00:38:53.780
that means we lose less money. Look, China was making over a trillion, 1.1 trillion,
00:38:58.580
in my opinion. You know, different numbers from 500 billion to a trillion or a trillion. I think it
00:39:03.700
was 1.1 trillion. And frankly, if we didn't do business, we would have been better off. Okay?
00:39:08.660
You understand that. So, when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. But
00:39:14.100
we're going to make it so they can — I'd like to say they can do better, actually, in terms of the bottom
00:39:19.220
line. We'd like to see China opened up so we can compete in China and, you know, give people something
00:39:26.340
that they've never had. You know, access to something. That'd be great for the world. It
00:39:30.180
would be great for our businesses. And I think it would be great for friendship. I really expect a
00:39:34.660
lot of people think I'm a militant guy. I'm really not. I think that trade can bring a greater
00:39:40.980
friendship with China. It can be something good. But, you know, one of the things that I know Scott's
00:39:45.300
going to be talking about very high on the list is open up and let our businesses go into China.
00:39:50.660
Because when you talk about a closed country, that's a really closed country. And I think
00:39:56.260
it would be great if it was opened up. It would give people a lot of choice and would create a lot
00:40:01.540
of jobs, a lot of everything. So, I think it would be a great thing for China. And that's going to be
00:40:04.740
one of the things we'll be discussing, like we discussed with the U.K.
00:40:08.020
Mr. President, what does Britain have to do for you to drop the baseline 10 percent tariff
00:40:17.140
that you'll retain? Well, I think that's set because that has to do with a lot of different
00:40:21.540
things, including past. You know, there are a lot of past things that we talk about. This is very
00:40:26.500
inclusive. We included everything. And that's pretty well said. Yeah, please.
00:40:30.900
Yeah, Mr. President, the 10 percent baseline tariff were made in place. Is that a template for these
00:40:35.780
future trade deals? You said you're going to keep it here. Is it going to stay in every day?
00:40:39.300
No, that's a low number. They made a good deal. Many, some will be much higher because they have massive
00:40:45.780
trade surpluses. And, you know, in many cases, they didn't treat us right. One thing with the U.K.,
00:40:52.260
they had, you know, somewhat closed. Not like a China, as an example. But they always treated us
00:40:58.580
with great respect. They treated us with great respect. The template of 10 is probably the lowest
00:41:08.100
and, and therefore they, you know, made that deal. And, but they, you know, we've had just a very
00:41:16.740
special relationship with them. Like, I won't do that deal with cars. I mean, unless somebody shows
00:41:20.980
me that there's another kind of a car that's comparable to a Rolls-Royce, then there aren't too
00:41:25.540
many. This is a good commercial for Rolls-Royce. They're going to order a lot of cars. Mr. President,
00:41:29.940
I wonder whether you'd like to buy. I mean, well, the last time this happened, they ended up,
00:41:37.460
I would be happy to suggest a discount, obviously a very modest discount.
00:41:43.460
I've had many of them, actually. You know, the last time that happened,
00:41:47.860
I ended up buying a Tesla, you know. Thank you. Mary-Morgan Olihan with Daily Wire.
00:41:56.420
I had a question about the U.K. deal today. I heard there was talk that part of the agreement
00:42:01.060
would depend on whether the U.K. would respect free speech and freedom of religion. I know the
00:42:06.100
VP is really interested in that, talked about that earlier this year. Was there any assurances
00:42:10.180
that you guys got on that front? You want to handle that? This July, there is a global summit
00:42:15.300
of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia,
00:42:21.700
India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global
00:42:27.940
currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans,
00:42:34.340
global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your
00:42:39.300
savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in
00:42:45.780
Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a
00:42:52.740
theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into

00:45:11.300
isn't getting enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S.
00:45:17.440
farmland. They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer,
00:45:22.800
animal feed, and farming equipment. Why? It's not clear. They're tightening the grip on global food
00:45:30.080
production. That is clear. And if things go south, and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.
00:45:38.720
That's why I trust my Patriot Supply. They're America's largest emergency preparedness company.

Do it today. Do not let this thing get ahead of you.
00:46:49.880
Yeah, that was not part of the conversation. Our conversation was an economic conversation
00:46:55.440
from start to finish, closed by the president yesterday. This was a business deal. Open their
00:47:02.420
markets, and also protect their workers, grow our markets, and help our workers.
00:47:08.460
This was about business religion. You know, business is sort of a semi-religion, but not nearly
00:47:14.760
as important. I don't want to get myself in there.
00:47:16.460
Mr. President, will you be asking China to help you close, you know, the gap between Ukraine
00:47:28.380
and Russia? I think so. I think it's a natural thing to ask. Sure. I don't know. I think we're
00:47:33.800
making good progress. The fighting is a little bit different than it was. I think if we weren't
00:47:39.020
involved, Russia would be, you know, going at it to maybe get the whole thing. Without our
00:47:45.480
involvement, they'd be able to get it, because we supplied a lot of different things, foolishly.
00:47:50.860
But we've been sort of paid back by doing the rare earth deal that I talked about before.
00:47:55.460
I think that, you know, I think that we will be very much involved in trying to get that
00:48:00.760
bloodbath. It's a bloodbath. It's a horrible situation. 5,000. It's really more than that.
00:48:06.640
But it's 5,000 soldiers, on average, a week, mostly soldiers, are being killed. Young, beautiful
00:48:13.700
people. I mean, they're being killed. I see the satellite pictures coming back, body parts
00:48:18.020
lying all over the fields, heads and arms. It's so terrible. I've never seen anything like
00:48:23.080
it, actually. And if we can get that stopped, that would be a great accomplishment.
00:48:26.760
And we're trying very hard. And I think we're close. And Mr. Whitcoff is talking constantly
00:48:31.500
back and forth. He's a real professional. He's got a great relationship with both countries.
00:48:36.860
And I think we have a good chance. And likewise, we're trying to work on Iran to get that solved
00:48:42.820
without having to get into any bombing, as we say. Big bombing. I don't want to do that.
00:48:49.100
I want them to work. I want them to be very successful.
00:48:54.100
Mr. President, Edward Lawrence from Fox Business. On the non-market barriers, how did you get
00:48:59.600
the U.K. to bend? And what was the 11th hour deal, or ask?
00:49:03.320
Well, I think it was really just a part of the overall. I mean, they have so many things
00:49:07.540
that are so good for them. It's going to be so good for the country. And that was sort
00:49:10.520
of easy. It wasn't — we had non-market — I call it non-market or non-monetary trade barriers.
00:49:17.100
And we had quite a few of them — not nearly as bad as some countries. Some countries
00:49:21.420
have — you know, they have virtually no tariff, but the rest of it is so brutal, you can't
00:49:25.740
do business with them, right? So it's a very important question, actually.
00:49:28.540
No, I think the overall — the overall deal just worked out very well from their standpoint.
00:49:34.460
They were willing to give that in order to get other things. And you might want to speak
00:49:40.100
Look, the point about the deal is that we will continue reducing tariffs and non-tariff
00:49:50.820
barriers. This is a continuing picture. It's a movie. It's not a still picture here. It's
00:49:57.540
a movie. It continues. And we're both committed to freeing up trade between our countries. We're
00:50:04.020
both committed to freeing up investment between our countries. And the point about this deal
00:50:12.420
is that it provides a very good template and a very good launch pad for what we can continue
00:50:19.620
to do and build on in the future. And that's what we're both determined to do.
00:50:23.860
You know, many of the — well, we're going to not say.
00:50:31.860
The President has to keep it confidential. How about just one more
00:50:36.340
little thing, right? Well, it got the deal closed. And it was handled very well from the other side,
00:50:40.580
too. But many of these things that we're talking about — we've been talking about this for 25 years.
00:50:48.180
It's hard to explain when — if you weren't sitting behind this beautiful
00:50:53.220
resolution desk, you just wouldn't get it. I have been hearing about making a deal with UK for
00:51:00.340
25 years. And especially around the time of Brexit. They wanted to make a deal,
00:51:05.220
so they came out of Brexit, and they make a deal. And how natural. And it just couldn't be done.
00:51:11.620
It couldn't be done. Good people. And this is a bigger deal. This is a much bigger, better,
00:51:16.420
stronger deal for both of us than we ever even contemplated before. It's a big deal.
00:51:21.220
The President, virtually everyone said that it would end in failure. It would end in tears. And it's
00:51:26.580
ended in exactly the opposite. But, Mr. President, can I say that that is due to Secretary Lutnake and
00:51:33.940
Ambassador Greer have been absolutely fantastic. But yesterday, I received a call — a very diplomatic call — that
00:51:41.460
just edged things over the line. And that was from your new ambassador in the United Kingdom.
00:51:48.020
Who is terrific by — Warren Stevens, he's here.
00:51:53.780
The President, he's flying to London tomorrow night.
00:51:56.580
He's going to be very popular with the British people. He's going to be a very successful ambassador.
00:52:00.900
And — were you disappointed in — and — he's got plenty of cash.
00:52:18.500
The President, are you planning to meet Ursula von der Leyen?
00:52:21.540
The President, are you planning to meet Ursula von der Leyen, the President,
00:52:27.860
The President, oh, she's so fantastic, right? She's so fantastic. I hope we're going to meet — yeah,
00:52:33.220
the answer is yes. I saw her — actually, I saw her a few days ago.
00:52:36.900
And I think that we'll definitely meet, yeah. The European Union is a big thing.
00:52:42.980
They want to make a deal very badly. You know, everybody wants to make a deal. Look,
00:52:45.940
everybody wants to make a deal with the United States. And we're doing that. And we're making — we're
00:52:49.620
going to make fair deals. I'm just honored that this was the first one. Go ahead, please.
00:52:53.540
The President, the Federal Reserve Chairman — the Federal Reserve Chairman,
00:52:56.900
Mr. President, says that you would have to call him for a meeting. Do you plan to meet
00:53:01.060
on — with him? And what do you think about —
00:53:03.060
The President, I'm just like talking to a wall. You should — you should be —
00:53:05.860
The President, what do you think about not cutting — the Bank of England cut today?
00:53:08.340
The President, well, the Bank of England cut. China cut. Everybody's cutting but him.
00:53:14.660
It's — you know, I don't know. Let's — we'll see what happens. It's a shame. I call him too late.
00:53:19.540
You know, too late, Powell. That's his nickname. And it's a shame. It's ridiculous.
00:53:23.460
So, meeting — he — he's always too late. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much,
00:53:32.340
because our country is so strong. We're so powerful in terms of economic strength and what
00:53:37.860
we've done. And I'll tell you what, if we didn't have our first term, you wouldn't be — we created
00:53:42.900
things in the first term. We cut more regulations than any president in history. We cut the taxes more
00:53:48.340
than anybody in history. And a very big factor is going to be the tax bill that we have right now.
00:53:53.220
The one big, beautiful bill, as we call it, which is all-encompassing the biggest tax cuts
00:53:58.180
ever in history — bigger than even the first time. And the incentives — even great for the UK,
00:54:04.260
because it'll make us so strong that we're going to be doing more business with you. It's a very
00:54:08.100
important element for taxes, for every aspect — regulation cuts. That bill is — I believe it's the
00:54:17.300
biggest bill of its kind ever in the history of this country. And Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune
00:54:24.260
have done an incredible job. I mean, I'll let you know we have to get a vote, but we have a lot of
00:54:29.860
support for that bill. And if that happens, on top of all of these trade deals that we're doing,
00:54:38.100
this country will hit a point that you better go out and buy stock now. Let me tell you, this
00:54:44.340
country will be like a rocket ship that goes straight up. This is going to be numbers that
00:54:50.100
nobody's ever seen before. That's a very important element of all of this, you know, if we get that.
00:54:55.460
If you don't — and the Democrats are fighting it only because they want to fight. They have Trump
00:54:59.620
derangement syndrome. You know, if it was somebody else, they wouldn't fight. If you had a normal
00:55:03.860
person — if you had some stiff sitting behind you, they'd be fine. But they have Trump derangement
00:55:09.540
syndrome. You know, Senator Schumer has become a Palestinian. He's welcome. I don't know when
00:55:15.540
they're going to give him the ceremony, whatever the ceremony may be. But it's terrible what's happened
00:55:21.220
to the Democrats. So very, very important element of everything, of what we're doing,
00:55:28.100
unrelated to today, but related in the sense that we'll do — if that passes, we'll do even more
00:55:33.540
business with the UK. We'll have so much. It's the biggest tax cut in history. It's going to make our
00:55:40.260
country zoom. It's going to be incentive, as you know, with the deduction for — basically for work.
00:55:46.180
You work, you build, you plant, et cetera, your deduction. It's going to be the biggest — it's
00:55:52.020
the biggest bill of its kind to ever pass. Maybe the biggest bill ever passed. That's why we call it
00:55:57.460
The Press.: I just announced a new nominee for the
00:56:02.340
U.S. Surgeon General, who never finished her residency and is not a practicing physician.
00:56:07.780
So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor?
00:56:10.500
The President": Well, she said — yeah, because Bobbie thought she was fantastic.
00:56:13.060
She's highly — she's a brilliant woman who went through Stanford. And as I understand it,
00:56:18.660
she basically wanted to do — she wanted to be an academic as opposed to a surgeon.
00:56:22.660
I think she graduated first in her class at Stanford. And Bobbie really thought she was great.
00:56:30.340
I don't know her. I listened to the recommendation of Bobbie. I met her
00:56:33.940
yesterday and once before. She's a very outstanding person — a great academic, actually.
00:56:40.500
The Press.: Mr. President, Bob, you're a nominee for U.S. Attorney of D.C.
00:56:45.220
Do you have a backup plan if this Senate does —
00:56:47.060
The Press.: Oh, I do, yeah. But he's a terrific person. And he wasn't getting the support from
00:56:53.380
people that I thought — you know, he's done a very good job. Crime is down 25 percent in D.C.
00:56:58.900
during his period of time. I'm very disappointed in that. But I have so many different things that
00:57:04.660
I'm doing now with the trade. You know, I'm one person. I can only make — boom — I can only lift that
00:57:09.860
little phone so many times in a day. But we have somebody else that will be great. I just want to
00:57:17.140
say, Ed is unbelievable. And hopefully we can bring him into — whether it's DOJ or whatever — in some
00:57:24.900
capacity, because really outstanding. It was — to me, it was disappointing, I'll be honest. I have to be
00:57:29.220
straight. I was disappointed. A lot of people were disappointed. But that's the way it works sometimes,
00:57:34.740
you know. That's the way it works. And he wasn't rejected, but we felt it would be very — it would be hard.
00:57:40.420
And we have somebody else that we'll be announcing over the next two days who's — who's going to be great.
00:57:45.140
The Press. With companies like Ford and Mattel — with companies like Ford and Mattel recently
00:57:49.700
saying they're going to raise prices on certain products, how long do you think the American
00:57:53.540
public is going to be patient and paid for your — Yeah. Well, I don't think — I think they're saying
00:57:57.380
that just to try and negotiate deals with me. They're not. The tariffs are the most misunderstood
00:58:04.340
thing, maybe in any form of business — anywhere in business. Oftentimes, the country picks
00:58:09.620
them up. Oftentimes, the company picks it up. The people don't pick it up, okay? The people
00:58:14.580
don't pick it up. And if Ford did that, they wouldn't sell any cars. And if Mattel — I don't
00:58:19.940
know, some — I'm not so sure — they also said — they're the only country I've heard — they said,
00:58:24.260
well, we're going to go counter. We're going to try going someplace else. That's okay.
00:58:27.700
Let him go, and we'll put a 100 percent tariff on his toys, and he won't sell one toy in the United
00:58:33.140
States. And that's their biggest market. I heard that. I mean, I watched this guy talking
00:58:37.380
about how I'm going to go counter. I said, well, I wouldn't want to have him as an executive too
00:58:42.100
long. The Ford people I know very well — what they're doing is negotiating with us by saying that.
00:58:48.500
But we don't think that's going to happen. Look, I put out a truth today,
00:58:52.420
and it said that gas is down, gasoline is down, energy is down, groceries are down, eggs are down.
00:58:59.620
I mean, eggs, thank you very much. But eggs are down. When I came in the first week,
00:59:04.740
you guys hit me with eggs. I said, what the hell happened with eggs?
00:59:08.260
Eggs were up like 170 percent and going up. And they said, don't order any for Easter.
00:59:14.580
And we were thinking about ordering plastic eggs like everybody was doing.
00:59:18.500
And Brooke did a fantastic job — agriculture. Brooke did a fantastic job. And we had hundreds of
00:59:25.140
thousands of eggs out here on the lawn just two weeks ago at Easter. And — but you take a look
00:59:30.820
at the cost. Energy is down. Even interest rates are down. Now, if the chairman of the Fed,
00:59:40.100
Jerome, if he would lower interest rates like China did, like I think UK did, but like numerous other
00:59:47.380
countries have done, it would be — it's like jet fuel. It would be great. But he doesn't want to do it.
00:59:52.020
I think he doesn't want to do it. Probably he's not — he's not in love with me. I think that's right.
00:59:57.780
It's sort of a crazy reason. But that's the way life is. Anybody in his position would be learned.
01:00:03.780
It would be like jet fuel. But even without that, we're doing well. But remember this,
01:00:09.140
you know, I've watched you people reporting over the last few months that if we do this,
01:00:14.260
you know, prices are going to go through. Well,
01:00:16.100
groceries are down. All of this stuff is down. Lumber is down. Oil is gone down. I mean,
01:00:24.900
we have that thing broke $60, right? $60 a barrel. And $98 — $1.98, $1.99 in some cases.
01:00:33.860
And heading — and heading in that direction. Now, I think it's been amazing, actually. You know,
01:00:40.100
and what that's good for, it gives the consumer more money. And it gives them a better life. Because we
01:00:45.220
we just came out of the worst inflation, in my opinion, in the history of our country. They say
01:00:48.980
48 years. But Biden really screwed it up. He screwed up energy. And he also paid — he spent too much
01:00:54.580
money. He was spending it on, you know, a Green News scam. And that's like throwing the money — see
01:00:59.060
that beautiful window behind? Take money, throw it right out that window. Because it's the same thing.
01:01:03.700
He just — he spent — he spent — he spent — he spent $10 trillion. He wasted it.
01:01:09.220
Not only was it bad, it was — it was a negative. It wasn't even like it helped a little bit. It was a real
01:01:14.660
negative. And then, on top of it, they let 21 million people into our country without
01:01:19.540
any identification, any — anything. Just let them in. It's very — very sad. Well, we'll do one or two more.
01:01:33.620
The Pressure Noon. I'm with the Daily Telegraph. You know me from a—
01:01:36.500
The Pressure Noon. How concerned are you about the U.K.'s reliance on China?
01:02:00.280
relationship with China and a fair relationship.
01:02:05.680
As an example, if they open up the country, that'll
01:02:10.720
They don't know that yet because, you know, it's
01:02:20.860
They'll see things that they never sold before,
01:02:49.200
And obviously, the importing country, whether it's
01:02:51.560
us or them, you've got to follow the rules on those
01:02:54.360
But our point is the rules need to make sure that
01:02:58.940
We know the UK believes that, too, so we want to
01:03:02.300
We want the consumers in each country to be able to
01:03:04.400
choose what they want and give them the information
01:03:06.940
We have an incredible EPA, led by Administrator
01:03:12.580
But we are very, very confident in our products
01:03:17.460
markets is unprecedented for these farmers here
01:03:32.240
rally because, you know, don't forget they said
01:03:38.900
This is much tougher, I think, than any other deal
01:03:45.680
And it's very conclusive and it's a great deal.
01:03:51.520
We're going to be having conferences or at some
01:03:59.500
And after a number of these are done, nobody has
01:04:04.340
We're just going to put out X country is going to pay
01:04:07.680
this, and if they open up, they're going to do this
01:04:09.820
and that and that, and they're going to be open up.
01:04:12.920
You know, I say this is where they want to be shopping.
01:04:15.340
They want to shop in this country because we have the
01:04:18.620
consumer, and we have the consumer like nobody else.
01:04:26.620
But we really, but we really saved it from going bad.
01:04:35.100
The President Trump I'm glad you asked me about it
01:04:36.400
because I'm just going to be talking to now with the
01:04:40.460
So I was all set before we had the rigged election to
01:04:47.600
company that was going to do it all thing, one of the
01:04:49.800
best companies in the world that you know very well.
01:04:51.800
You know, there are three or four of them that do it.
01:04:54.300
And when they took over, Buttigieg, who has no clue,
01:04:58.340
you know, he drives to work on his bicycle with his,
01:05:01.040
with his, in all fairness, with his husband on the back,
01:05:12.080
Between him and Crockett, you can have that party.
01:05:15.300
But he didn't have, he didn't know what he was doing.
01:05:18.500
And he took what they call dry systems, systems where
01:05:22.640
you have wires in, in the earth, buried in the earth
01:05:25.040
or whatever, and then you have the open air systems
01:05:32.440
Anybody would know that if you went through about two
01:05:34.240
months of study in school, if you studied that kind of thing.
01:05:40.220
They spent tens of billions of dollars trying to take
01:05:45.100
old, broken equipment and merging it into existing
01:05:53.600
It's one of the greatest, they spent like 40 billion,
01:06:04.660
If you have a satellite system, you need satellite.
01:06:06.880
If you don't, they had all these different technologies,
01:06:10.800
some of them 50 years old, and they're trying to mesh them in.
01:06:13.560
And they end up spending twice the money they should have.
01:06:23.440
And I've given him a 10-minute lesson in buying,
01:06:29.700
And we are now in the market to buy a gorgeous,
01:06:34.540
The helicopter that crashed into the plane at 400 feet,
01:06:38.060
What would have happened is all sorts of bells and sirens
01:06:47.160
And the new equipment is unbelievable, what it does.
01:06:59.380
This system is so incredible, what they can do.
01:07:09.880
And you can't combine it, and anybody should have known.
01:07:12.580
So, so, Biden, do you think Biden figured this out?
01:07:38.580
but they would use the system of another country.
01:07:41.160
They wouldn't even use the system of the United States.
01:07:43.560
So, if I'm landing in New York or Florida or Tennessee,
01:07:53.120
And they were, you know, they're not into business,
01:07:55.460
but they're just saying, our system doesn't work, sir.
01:08:00.640
But we were all set to give it out to, you know, look,
01:08:04.340
and you have different companies like that, numerous companies.
01:08:25.080
One contract where one guy is controlling everything.
01:08:31.180
But if you don't dig the trench, they don't blame you.
01:08:36.580
Now, we have it all set, and we're going to be doing it.
01:08:40.420
except that the election took a little strange turn.
01:09:06.580
what a historic press conference meeting we just witnessed just for good measure let's see what
01:09:17.000
Jen Psaki was saying last night and we will deliver a live on-air fact check of her brilliance
01:09:21.740
in a month if you can believe it since Donald Trump announced his sweeping and pretty ridiculous
01:09:28.820
tariffs but Mr. Art of the deal as he calls himself has not yet struck a single trade deal
01:09:34.920
not a single one with any single country well I think Mr. Art of the deal is delivering on his
01:09:40.760
promises maybe I'll have to bestow you with the new title of misinformation I'll read you some cold
01:09:47.280
hard facts that I'm sure hitting MSNBC pretty darn hard 5 billion increase in new market access 6
01:09:55.240
billion in tariff revenue just off of this one trade deal alone UK tariffs were originally 5.1%
01:10:01.460
dropped down now to 1.8% US tariffs were 10% now they are 3.4% as you guys saw if you watch that
01:10:09.720
whole conference the UK will reduce numerous non-tariff barriers that have unfairly
01:10:13.520
discriminated against American products billions for increased market access for American exports
01:10:17.760
especially agriculture beef ethanol virtually all of these products which are produced by our
01:10:23.280
wonderful wonderful American farmers new market access for American machinery and chemicals and
01:10:28.720
bringing the UK into the economic security alignment with the US ensuring a strong industrial base
01:10:34.000
protections for steel and of course affirming reciprocity and fairness as I'm sure Steve would
01:10:41.140
say suck on that MSNBC and how about the Chinese Communist Party and all of the global elites that have
01:10:46.940
done every single thing in their I guess unmatched power to try to tank President Trump's not just the
01:10:53.660
stock market but his efforts to reorient the global economy so it works for you putting working class
01:10:59.980
Americans first and not global elites I guess that's bad for the MSNBC business model Mike Lindell I think

hey war room hope you're all doing well my name is trevor comstock i'm one of the co-creators of sacred
01:13:54.820
human and i wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand for those who may not know of us
01:13:59.060
yet but about six months ago we decided to launch sacred human with really the simple mission being
01:14:05.140
to provide american-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense so unfortunately as many
01:14:12.500
of you know a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives artificial
01:14:17.860
ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health so that's why we created
01:14:23.140
sacred human really trying to fill this gap with quality supplements and of course the beef liver
01:14:28.180
being our flagship products for those who don't know beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable
01:14:34.100
ingredients such as vitamin a b12 zinc coq10 etc and because it is 100 grass-fed and natural
01:14:43.540
your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin
01:14:48.900
vitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general so we have some other amazing products but if you'd
01:14:54.580
like to check us out you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health
