00:00.560 --> 00:02.782
and the president of the United Mexican

00:02.782 --> 00:03.350
States .

00:21.260 --> 00:22.130
Thank you ,

00:25.740 --> 00:29.680
Thank you . This evening

00:30.440 --> 00:33.390
we are honored to welcome President

00:33.390 --> 00:36.790
Lopez Obrador , the entire

00:36.790 --> 00:39.430
Mexican delegation and many

00:39.430 --> 00:42.710
distinguished guests to a White House

00:42.720 --> 00:44.970
working dinner . We've been working all

00:44.970 --> 00:47.290
day and will be working for a little

00:47.290 --> 00:49.290
while longer , but it's an honor to

00:49.290 --> 00:51.512
have you in the White House . Tonight's

00:51.512 --> 00:53.623
gathering follows a productive day of

00:53.623 --> 00:56.120
meetings and concludes an exceptional

00:56.410 --> 00:58.420
visit in which we made tremendous

00:58.420 --> 01:01.980
strides on behalf of our countries . To

01:01.980 --> 01:04.180
your great president , I would just

01:04.180 --> 01:06.440
like to say that it's been a profound

01:06.440 --> 01:08.810
privilege to have you with us today ,

01:08.810 --> 01:11.280
and it's April found privilege to have

01:11.280 --> 01:13.540
you as my friend . We've had a great

01:13.540 --> 01:15.762
relationship right from the beginning ,

01:16.040 --> 01:18.207
and I think that maybe was against all

01:18.207 --> 01:21.280
odds . A lot of people were betting

01:21.280 --> 01:24.040
against it , but they've learned not to

01:24.040 --> 01:26.840
bet against us . I suspect . I know

01:26.840 --> 01:29.340
they've learned that in Mexico . The

01:29.340 --> 01:31.507
people of Mexico and the United States

01:31.507 --> 01:33.729
have joined together by shared values ,

01:33.729 --> 01:36.250
shared faith and shared future on this

01:36.250 --> 01:38.710
beautiful continent . We're both proud

01:38.710 --> 01:40.321
sovereign nations built over

01:40.321 --> 01:42.910
generations by the sweat , sacrifice

01:42.920 --> 01:45.590
and devotion of hard working people who

01:45.590 --> 01:48.580
love their country and give everything

01:48.590 --> 01:50.701
they have to create a better life for

01:50.701 --> 01:53.810
their beautiful Children in the United

01:53.810 --> 01:55.310
States , the extraordinary

01:55.310 --> 01:57.366
contributions of Mexican Americans ,

01:57.366 --> 02:00.430
air felt in every industry , every

02:00.430 --> 02:03.350
community and every facet of our nation ,

02:04.140 --> 02:06.210
from our to commerce to science to

02:06.210 --> 02:08.710
medicine . The Mexican people are

02:08.710 --> 02:11.860
incredible . They upheld our highest

02:11.860 --> 02:14.710
values God , family and country . They

02:14.710 --> 02:17.020
launch small businesses , propel

02:17.020 --> 02:19.690
industries and they served heroically

02:19.690 --> 02:22.490
in police departments and in our great

02:22.490 --> 02:25.210
military . As we gather tonight , we

02:25.210 --> 02:28.310
reflect on all that are two people have

02:28.310 --> 02:31.180
accomplished together over the span of

02:31.180 --> 02:33.950
many generations , and we embraced the

02:33.950 --> 02:36.750
incredible opportunities that lay ahead .

02:37.910 --> 02:40.100
We're each blessed with a vast land

02:40.100 --> 02:42.267
that touches both of the world's great

02:42.267 --> 02:44.990
oceans . Extraordinary natural resource

02:44.990 --> 02:47.101
is , and above all we're blessed with

02:47.101 --> 02:49.820
some of the most spirited , adventurous ,

02:49.990 --> 02:52.270
determined and talented people on the

02:52.270 --> 02:54.437
face of the earth . It's all about the

02:54.437 --> 02:56.860
people , Mr President . I'm certain

02:56.860 --> 02:59.082
that together we can unlock a future of

02:59.082 --> 03:01.416
even greater potential for our Children .

03:01.416 --> 03:03.582
Prosperity for our people , safety for

03:03.582 --> 03:05.830
our citizens and pride for our

03:05.830 --> 03:08.670
countries . With today's visit , have

03:08.670 --> 03:11.140
never been more confident that the

03:11.140 --> 03:13.710
future of this precious relationship

03:13.970 --> 03:16.720
and the destiny of this majestic

03:16.720 --> 03:19.580
continent will never be in better hands

03:19.580 --> 03:22.650
and never had a better future . Once

03:22.650 --> 03:24.910
again , I want to thank you and all of

03:24.910 --> 03:26.910
your representatives for being here

03:26.910 --> 03:28.910
today . It's a great honor . It's a

03:28.910 --> 03:31.077
great honor to be with you . Thank you

03:31.077 --> 03:33.021
very much . I'd now like to invite

03:33.021 --> 03:35.530
President Lopez Obrador to say a few

03:35.530 --> 03:38.530
words on behalf of the incredible

03:38.540 --> 03:40.750
people of Mexico . Thank you ,

03:58.380 --> 04:00.450
friends . Ladies and gentlemen ,

04:02.940 --> 04:06.790
I am going to be breathe . People

04:06.790 --> 04:10.450
say that good and brief ,

04:11.940 --> 04:15.720
twice as good . I

04:15.720 --> 04:18.750
could only say that I

04:18.760 --> 04:22.350
subscribe everything , said

04:23.950 --> 04:26.340
everything mentioned by President

04:26.340 --> 04:29.510
Donald Trump . We are countries .

04:31.740 --> 04:34.570
We are people's neighbors ,

04:38.040 --> 04:41.950
brothers and sisters . We want to

04:41.950 --> 04:44.550
maintain good relationship ,

04:46.930 --> 04:49.340
the economic trade , commercial level ,

04:49.340 --> 04:51.290
socially and culturally as well .

04:53.220 --> 04:56.850
And that's the purpose of this visit .

05:00.440 --> 05:02.220
As we've already said

05:03.900 --> 05:07.750
earlier today , this is the beginning

05:08.640 --> 05:09.980
of a new stage

05:14.240 --> 05:16.550
we have signed . They knew

05:17.530 --> 05:20.440
agreement for a free trade agreement ,

05:20.440 --> 05:24.360
tears among Canada , the United States

05:24.470 --> 05:28.470
and Mexico . And with this

05:28.470 --> 05:32.470
new agreement , we are

05:32.470 --> 05:35.710
going to strengthen . They got to me

05:36.580 --> 05:37.950
of our region ,

05:40.370 --> 05:41.370
North America .

05:45.390 --> 05:48.760
That's a purpose , which is

05:48.760 --> 05:52.120
fundamental , a fundamental purpose and ,

05:52.120 --> 05:53.620
of course , very good news

05:57.520 --> 06:00.810
for the inhabitants of all three

06:00.810 --> 06:01.650
countries .

06:04.780 --> 06:08.000
This agreement has to

06:08.940 --> 06:10.000
new elements

06:14.310 --> 06:17.550
that help integrate

06:18.510 --> 06:22.150
the region and to potentially eight

06:24.740 --> 06:26.851
the region . First of all , it said ,

06:26.851 --> 06:30.790
sports that merchandise

06:32.040 --> 06:35.810
produced in our region in North

06:35.810 --> 06:39.550
America should , uh ,

06:41.240 --> 06:42.960
have a high

06:46.500 --> 06:49.520
original content that is ,

06:51.940 --> 06:55.480
even though they were talking about

06:55.480 --> 06:58.740
auto parts . For instance , if it's ah

06:59.090 --> 07:03.070
really any type off a

07:03.080 --> 07:07.030
consumer good or product , it does

07:07.040 --> 07:09.270
have to have something produced

07:10.950 --> 07:14.630
in Canada , Mexico and the United

07:14.630 --> 07:17.880
States . The other

07:20.110 --> 07:23.310
element that I

07:23.620 --> 07:26.630
believe fundamental end of great

07:26.640 --> 07:29.210
justice is guaranteeing

07:30.530 --> 07:33.150
better salaries , better labor

07:33.150 --> 07:36.060
conditions , four workers

07:39.240 --> 07:42.990
of all three countries . This was

07:42.990 --> 07:46.880
not included in the previous agreement .

07:47.250 --> 07:50.830
That's why we're just so happy to be

07:50.830 --> 07:52.590
here in the White House

07:54.890 --> 07:58.660
in this event . In the ceremony , and

08:01.440 --> 08:05.220
I also come here to

08:05.230 --> 08:08.840
this dinner , I was invited to buy my

08:08.840 --> 08:10.750
friend President Donald Trump ,

08:11.520 --> 08:15.380
accompanied by businessmen from

08:15.380 --> 08:16.150
Mexico ,

08:20.760 --> 08:24.630
outstanding businessmen and women not

08:24.630 --> 08:27.350
only because they invest

08:28.540 --> 08:32.450
Pretty's , they generate jobs ,

08:32.620 --> 08:35.950
but also because they

08:36.880 --> 08:40.250
they have a social nine mention

08:42.560 --> 08:45.550
they are thinking not only

08:46.540 --> 08:50.010
about accumulating revenues and profits ,

08:50.020 --> 08:53.890
but also for things to go

08:53.890 --> 08:57.620
well for all of us . For all this of us

08:57.620 --> 09:01.350
to do , find for people to also do well .

09:02.840 --> 09:06.430
That's why we are so appreciative of

09:06.430 --> 09:08.970
this reception . President Trump . And

09:08.970 --> 09:12.350
in effect , the forecasts failed .

09:12.920 --> 09:15.142
We're not fighting , We are friends and

09:15.142 --> 09:17.390
we shall continue being friends .

09:21.100 --> 09:22.300
Thank you very much .
