00:00I think he's a great prime minister. I mean, he could represent me any time.
00:04I will tell you, you know, I'm not saying that because he's...
00:06No, he is a very strong, very good leader.
00:10He's a nice man, but he could be nasty.
00:13He could be very nasty. Maybe as nasty as anybody.
00:16So then, what's holding things up?
00:17If he's a great man and you want to do a deal with Canada, why aren't you?
00:20Because I want to be a great man, too.
00:25I think he's a great prime minister.
00:27I mean, he could represent me any time.
00:29I will tell you, you know, I'm not saying that because he's...
00:32No, he is a very strong, very good leader.
00:35He's a nice man, but he could be nasty.
00:38He could be very nasty. Maybe as nasty as anybody.
00:41So then, what's holding things up?
00:43If he's a great man and you want to do a deal with Canada, why aren't you?
00:46Because I want to be a great man, too.
00:51And now, and I'm running out of time, but this is, in many respects, the most important.
00:56The merger of Canada and the United States.
00:59That wasn't where I was going.
01:02It's an honor to have the prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney, who I have made very popular.
01:09He's an extremely popular prime minister.
01:12And I'm very honored to do it because I liked him.
01:14Right from the beginning, I've liked him.
01:16And we've had a good relationship.
01:18We have some natural conflict, but we will probably work that out.
01:22But we've had a very strong relationship.
01:25And your hosting of the various countries that showed up, that was a beautiful job you did.
01:30And I appreciate it very much.
01:32We're going to be talking about trade.
01:34We're going to be talking about a lot of different things.
01:36We'll certainly be talking about Gaza.
01:37We're in very serious negotiations to, I guess you could say, depending on the way you count, 3,000 years.
01:46You could say 500 years.
01:48You could say, but that it's been raging for a long time.
01:51And I think there's a possibility that we could have peace in the Middle East.
01:55It's something even beyond the Gaza situation.
01:59We want a release of the hostages immediately, et cetera.
02:03And so our team is over there now.
02:06Another team just left.
02:07And other countries, literally every country in the world has supported the plan.
02:12I don't think there's anybody that hasn't, actually.
02:15Not that I've seen.
02:17But there's a real chance that we could do something.
02:20So you may have some questions on that later.
02:22But in the meantime, we'll spend some time and we'll make some deals.
02:26And we'll do some things that are good for both of our countries.
02:29And Mark, it's an honor to have you.
02:30Thank you very much.
02:31Thank you very much, Mr. President.
