00:00Thank you very much.
00:24Before we begin, I'm pleased to announce that I've just signed a proclamation
00:29officially designating tomorrow, May 8th, as a victory day for World War II, commemorating
00:37the 80th anniversary of America's victory in the Second World War.
00:41All over the globe, our World War II allies are celebrating this week, but the United
00:48States has never joined in with the proper celebration of our own, and the victory was
00:55mostly accomplished because of us, whether you like it or not.
01:00We came into that war, and we won that war, and we had a lot of help from a lot of great
01:06people, a lot of great allies.
01:08But I think there would be nobody that would say that we were not the dominant force in
01:13that war, and we don't celebrate it.
01:15And I think that's a great disservice to the people that lost their lives and people that
01:19fought so hard in winning World War II, and also a separate victory day for World War
01:27I, and we're going to be doing that, too.
01:30It was American tanks and ships and trucks and airplanes and service members that vanquished
01:36the enemy 80 years ago this week.
01:38Without America, the liberation would never have happened.
01:42And so we have to pay tribute and homage to those people that gave us victory.
01:53And we did something else that people don't talk about.
01:56We rebuilt the world.
01:58All of these countries that were destroyed, we helped them rebuild.
02:03And that's something that, for the most part, others did not do.
02:06So, with this proclamation, we are hereby honoring the incredible sacrifice and heroism of millions
02:14of Americans who served in World War II, along with the unprecedented mobilization, home front
02:22that helped deliver this great triumph.
02:25All Americans should take pride in what these incredible patriots have achieved.
02:30So, I just want to say happy Victory Day to all.
02:34So, we are celebrating every year now, I can guarantee for four years, but I think after
02:39that we're going to have two Victory Days, World War I and World War II.
02:44This is World War II Victory Day.
02:47In the future, we're going to have a major celebration of each day.
02:55We're not going to have days off because we don't have enough days in the year.
02:58We have too many celebrations already.
03:00But we're going to have Victory Day and World War I, World War II.
03:07And without us, those wars would not have been won.
03:12I think we can say that.
03:13Would not have been won.
03:15And I think it's time that the United States starts taking credit for their achievements.
03:20And it's, I really believe it's a shame.
03:24You know, it's, I was watching for the last week and I noticed France.
03:29I noticed other countries all getting ready for Victory Day.
03:34And I said, that's sort of strange because David just added something.
03:38He said, we also rebuilt the world.
03:40And I didn't have that and I should have that.
03:43That was a big factor.
03:45But I noticed all of the countries, Russia, having a big day tomorrow.
03:51And by the way, they lost millions of people.
03:54And they were absolutely a major factor.
03:58But there was no major factor like us.
04:01We won the war.
04:02And we won it with the help of others.
04:04But everybody was celebrating but the United States of America.
04:07And I said, you know, I think it's time that we start celebrating Victory.
04:12And that's what we're doing.
04:16So now, for the reason that we're here, but I asked David, would it be appropriate if I did that?
04:23He said, absolutely.
04:24That's a big thing that we're doing on your swearing in.
04:27Very big thing.
04:28But now, for the real reason, and a reason that I'm very proud of, because he's been my friend for a long time.
04:36We're swearing in our next ambassador to the People's Republic of China.
04:40What timing, David?
04:41What timing?
04:42Only you could have picked this timing.
04:45I picked him a long time ago, but it just happened to come due on a pretty important date.
04:50But our friend, David Perdue, Senator David Perdue, joining David this afternoon are his incredible wife, Bonnie.
05:00He's been at his side for a long time.
05:02Their sons, David and Blake.
05:04Their daughter-in-law, Danielle, and daughter-in-law, Charlotte.
05:09And their grandsons, David, Hudson, and Jack.
05:13That's a beautiful family.
05:14Congratulations.
05:15I didn't think you had it in you, David.
05:17That's really something.
05:18That's pretty amazing.
05:19Look at that.
05:21Our new ambassador brings to this position a lifetime of experience at the highest levels of business and politics.
05:29And he is at the highest level.
05:32Over four decades in business, he rose to lead several major American corporations,
05:37including as the president and CEO of the footwear giant, Reebok, where he did very well.
05:43He did a great job.
05:45And later, CEO of Dollar General.
05:47Likewise, he did a great job.
05:49David also lived and worked in Singapore and Hong Kong for several years, developing a wealth of experience negotiating and doing tremendous business deals for lots of different leaders that he worked with.
06:03Following his tremendous business success as an executive, David stepped forward to serve American government.
06:10And as we all know, in 2014, he was elected United States Senate in Georgia.
06:17And he was very popular and he was very popular, very respected from day one.
06:21He served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was a tremendous partner to our administration during my first term.
06:29I dealt with him a lot and he solved a lot of problems.
06:32Now, I'm entrusting David to help manage one of America's most complex and consequential foreign relationships.
06:40And I know he'll do a fantastic job as our lead diplomat in Beijing.
06:46David will work to promote American interests and stability in the Indo-Pacific, help stop the flood of Chinese fentanyl across our borders, which we have to do.
06:56We lost, I believe, 300,000 people last year, seek fairness and reciprocity for the American worker, ensure the safety of our citizens overseas and promote peace in the region and in the world.
07:11And I'm confident that he will do an exceptional job.
07:15He's an exceptional man and make our country very proud and make our country very safe, too.
07:21So, David, I want to congratulate you.
07:23This is as big as it gets and the timing is unbelievable, but it's time that we have somebody like this.
07:31This is a very, very extraordinary man and you're going to do a fantastic job.
07:37And say hello to President Xi when you're over there, please.
07:40Okay?
07:41Thank you very much.
07:42Marco, would you do the service?
07:44I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,
08:08that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion,
08:24and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
08:34So help me God.
08:37Congratulations, David.
08:46David, would you like to say something?
08:50Mr. Mr. President, I'm humbled to be in this office today.
08:53I love what you've done with this office.
08:54I like the Declaration of Independence.
08:57I want the world to know that I know this man personally.
08:59He loves this country, and I am glad to be your man in China.
09:03Thank you, David.
09:03I think just for the sake of formality, here we go, David.
09:12Come on up.
09:13Come on up here, Bonnie.
09:15That's what it's all about, right?
09:17And now we send you on your way.
09:22Lots of luck.
09:23Yes, sir.
09:23We're right behind you, David.
09:25I look forward to seeing you over there, sir.
09:26Okay, have a good time.
09:28Congratulations, everybody.
09:29Congratulations.
09:30Any questions, please?
09:32The Pressure Secretary just told lawmakers that a tariff exemption for certain baby items,
09:39like car seats, is under consideration.
09:40Will you exempt some products that families rely on?
09:43The President, I don't know.
09:44I'll think about it.
09:45I really don't.
09:45I want to make it nice and simple.
09:47I'm not looking to have so many exemptions that nobody knows what's doing.
09:52We have to make it very simple, but I'll take a look at it.
09:54Mr. President, there are rumblings in Washington that some House Republican moderates are opposed
10:01to defunding Planned Parenthood in this year's reconciliation package.
10:04What do you say to those members, and are you supportive of them?
10:07Well, I don't know yet.
10:08I have to see because you're just telling me that for the first time.
10:10We'll we'll work something out, Mr. President, what are you hoping your representatives will
10:15get out of the talks in Switzerland on China?
10:17And secondly, what does China need to do on fentanyl specifically?
10:20What do you want to see?
10:21Well, they have to stop fentanyl from coming in.
10:23That'll be a very big part.
10:24And I had that understanding with President Xi before I left last time.
10:28And we had a deal and he would have honored the deal.
10:31But when Biden came in, of course, nothing ever happened with him.
10:34He didn't know what the hell he was doing.
10:36But that would have saved a lot of lives.
10:37That election cost us a lot of lives and a lot of heartache.
10:41The fact that we went through four years of misery and you look at what's coming through
10:46the border and the job of getting murderers out of our country.
10:50So many so many bad things happened.
10:52The wars.
10:53You wouldn't be having you wouldn't have October 7th.
10:57You wouldn't have Russia fighting with Ukraine.
11:00You wouldn't have had that disaster in Afghanistan.
11:02You wouldn't have had inflation.
11:04All these things would have not taken place.
11:06So sad to see what happened.
11:09Any other questions?
11:10Are the administration sending migrants to Libya?
11:14I don't know.
11:15You'll have to ask Homeland Security, please.
11:18Would you support President Xi said Russia was asking for too much to end the war?
11:25Do you still have confidence that he was earlier this morning?
11:29Well, it's possible that he's right.
11:31He may know some things that because I've been dealing with this and some other things.
11:36But we are getting to a point where some decisions are going to have to be made.
11:43I'm not happy about it.
11:45I'm not happy about it.
11:46Okay.
11:47On the talks in Switzerland, what do you expect?
11:49What do you hope to come out of it?
11:50We'll see.
11:51I mean, look, it's we were losing a trillion dollars a year.
11:55Now we're not losing anything.
11:56You know, that's the way I look at it.
11:58We were losing with China on trade a trillion dollars a year more actually 1.1, but let's
12:03say a trillion.
12:04You know what we're losing now?
12:06Nothing.
12:07That's not bad.
12:08There's plenty of new ceasefire hostage proposal for Israel and Hamas before you head over
12:15to the region next week.
12:16Where?
12:17Where?
12:18In Gaza.
12:19In Gaza.
12:20Well, we're going to see what's happening.
12:21There's a lot of talk going on about Gaza right now.
12:25You know that, right?
12:26So, you'll be knowing probably in the next 24 hours.
12:29Yes.
12:30Are you taking diplomatic actions between the war in India and Pakistan?
12:34What's your position on that?
12:35Oh, it's so terrible.
12:36My position is I get along with both.
12:39I know both very well.
12:41And I want to see them work it out.
12:42I want to see them stop.
12:44And hopefully they can stop now.
12:46They've gone tit for tat.
12:48So hopefully they can stop now.
12:50But I know both.
12:51We get along with both the countries very well.
12:53Good relationships with both.
12:55And I want to see it stop.
12:56And if I can do anything to help, I will.
12:58I will be there.
12:59By the way, unrelated, but I guess it's all related.
13:05When you look at the world nowadays, Rwanda and the Congo.
13:09We've made a lot of progress in getting that disaster stopped.
13:13We've had a very talented person over there.
13:15And we've made a lot of progress with Rwanda and Congo fighting a very violent war, by the way.
13:22China says in order to have substantive negotiations, you have to bring down your 145% tariffs.
13:28Are you open to pulling back your tariffs in order to get China to the negotiating table?
13:32No.
13:33All right, Mr. President.
13:34Senator Tillis has come out against Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney.
13:39Do you have any response to that?
13:40Well, it's disappointing because, you know, I know that he's very talented.
13:45Crime is down in Washington, D.C.
13:47Street crime, violent crime by 25%.
13:51And it's people have seen they've noticed a big difference.
13:55So I haven't I didn't know that.
13:57But if he if anybody voted against him, I feel very badly about it.
14:02Only in the sense that in this short period of time that he's been there, crime is down 25% in Washington, D.C.
14:09But that's really up to the senators.
14:11If if they, you know, feel that way, they have to vote the way they vote.
14:15They have to follow their heart and they have to follow their mind.
14:19They're going to ask me about that when I get there and I have to make a decision.
14:27I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
14:30I don't know if feelings are going to be hurt.
14:32Why have a case right over here?
14:33It's called Gulf of America.
14:35And I guess a lot of people get ideas from us.
14:39But the Gulf of America was something I thought should have been named a long time ago.
14:44I'm going to be given a briefing on that.
14:47It was just done.
14:49And I'll make a decision.
14:50Is it the U.S. position that Iran can have an enrichment program as long as it doesn't reach weapons?
14:55We haven't made that decision yet.
14:57We will.
14:58But we haven't made that decision yet.
15:00China said the U.S. initiated the trade talks this weekend and that its position hasn't changed.
15:06Are you still confident you can reach a deal with China?
15:09They said we initiated.
15:11Well, I think they ought to go back and study their files.
15:15Okay.
15:16I do think that.
15:17Go ahead.
15:18Mr. President, are you planning to ease chip export restrictions to some of these Gulf countries
15:22and then also make announcements regarding it?
15:24We might be doing that.
15:25Yeah.
15:26And their nuclear programs, civilian nuclear programs?
15:27And it will be announced soon.
15:28And you're going to help them develop nuclear power?
15:30Well, we're going to take a look.
15:32We're going to take a look.
15:33But, you know, we had really a very good, as you know, we had a very good outcome with the Houthis.
15:42And we honor their word.
15:44I mean, they made a commitment.
15:46And we dealt with other countries that were close to them and their surrogates.
15:52We honor all of their words.
15:53We'll see what happens.
15:54But I think, you know, I believe that hopefully that's over with.
15:59And they'll leave the ships alone.
16:01You know, just leave those ships alone.
16:03But so we do.
16:05We take their word for it.
16:06It was, you know, we hit them very hard.
16:08They had a great capacity to withstand punishment.
16:12They took tremendous punishment.
16:14And, you know, you could say there's a lot of bravery there.
16:18It was amazing what they took.
16:22But we honor their commitment and their word.
16:25They gave us their word that they wouldn't be shooting ships anymore.
16:28And we honor that.
16:29I want to thank you all for being here.
16:31I want to congratulate David Perdue and his family.
16:34He's going to be really an incredible ambassador to China.
16:38I have no doubt about it.
16:39And we're going to work together very closely.
16:42Thank you all very much.
16:44Thank you, David.
