00:00Good afternoon everyone. We have a lot of news today and I have quite a few

00:05announcements for you, so let's get to it. First, on behalf of the President and

00:09the White House, we express our deepest condolences to the family of New York

00:13Police Officer Islam, who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of his

00:18fellow New Yorkers. As the funeral services are held in New York City today,

00:22everyone at the White House is keeping the officer's family, friends, and fellow

00:27NYPD law enforcement officers in our thoughts and prayers. The President has

00:32always and will always proudly stand with our men and women in blue. May God bless

00:38Officer Islam and the other individuals who were tragically killed in this

00:42senseless act of violence. In other news, President Trump's working visit to

00:47Scotland was a huge success. In less than 48 hours, President Trump brokered the

00:52biggest, most impactful trade deal in history and prevented a war in Asia for

00:57the second time since he took office. We have never had a president who wields the

01:01full power of the United States to negotiate good deals for our country and

01:06its people like President Trump. This is what maximum leverage looks like. On the

01:11peace front, President Trump helped deliver an immediate and unconditional

01:15ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. The two countries were engaged in a

01:20deadly conflict that had displaced more than 300,000 people until President Trump

01:26stepped in to put an end to it. The President spoke directly on the phone with

01:30the acting Prime Minister of Thailand and the Prime Minister of Cambodia to inform

01:35both leaders that unless they brought their conflict to an end, there would be no

01:38trade discussions or agreements with the United States. Almost immediately

01:43afterward, a peace was brokered that will save thousands of lives and allowed for trade

01:48negotiations with these countries to resume and they have. The President has now ended

01:53conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the

01:57Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo and Egypt and

02:03Ethiopia. This means President Trump has brokered on average about one peace deal or

02:08ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It's well past time that President

02:14Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
