00:00We are discussing critical minerals and rare earths, and we're going to be signing an agreement that's been negotiated over a period of four or five months.
00:09And it was sort of good timing that we got it done just in time for the visit.
00:13And we work together very much on rare earths, critical minerals, and lots of other things.
00:18And we've had a very good relationship. We've been working on that for quite a while.
00:22Well, in about a year from now, we'll have so much critical mineral and rare earths that you won't know what to do with them.
00:30They'll be worth about $2.
00:32But in the meantime, we're working with Australia and other countries.
00:37They're working with us, too, but other countries also on that.
00:40But we're really working on anything having to do with military, military protection, military ships, vehicles, guns, ammunition, everything, the whole thing.
00:53We've been long-term, long-time allies.
00:57And I would say there's never been anybody better.
01:01We fought wars together.
01:02We never had any doubts.
01:05And it's a great honour to have you as my friend.
01:07It's a great honour to have you in the United States of America.
01:11Please, would you like to say so?
01:12Well, thank you so much, Mr. President, for the invitation here to the White House
01:19and for showing us around the improved Oval Office
01:22and for what you're doing around here as well
01:26and for the great honour as well of my delegation
01:29saying just across the road we could have walked but they didn't let us.
01:34We drove all of 20 metres there from Blair House
01:38but it's a great honour to be able to stay there.
01:43We are great friends and we're great allies
01:46and this is a relationship that's been forged in the battlefields of the world.
01:54We have stood side by side for freedom and democracy
01:57and congratulations, I must say, Mr. President,
02:01on the work that you've done with the Middle East.
02:04It's an extraordinary achievement.
02:06And on defence, we've already had a discussion about taking it to the next level.
02:13Our defence and security partnership with AUKUS is so important for us
02:17and I thank you for the support that the administration are giving as well.
