00:30La Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo de la Copa del Mundo
01:00¿Qué es la importancia de este evento para nuestro región, para nuestros tres países?
01:06México, Canadá y los Estados Unidos de América.
01:10Canadá, los Estados Unidos y México representan el más successful y enduring trilateral relación
01:16que el mundo ha visto. Y eso es algo worth celebrating.
01:19Es worth celebrating con la World Cup, pero también antes y después de la futbol.
01:23¿Qué es la importancia de este evento?
01:53Porque de la futbolización, pero también tenemos muchas cosas que compartan con el mundo.
01:58Bueno, una de las cosas que se sienten a México por un par de horas
02:01es que la cultura es un valor muy ingresado aquí en México,
02:06y que los mexicanos valen su cultura, pero también le gusta hablar de otras personas.
02:11Y celebrar la cultura, si es comida o artes o sport, es muy, muy ingresado.
02:16Y eso es un valor que los canadienses también share.
02:19You know, we are very, very proud as a country.
02:22I expect that FIFA will bring a lot in terms of economic value,
02:25that tourism is important, it creates jobs, it creates opportunity,
02:29and certainly at a time when both Canada and Mexico are looking to, you know,
02:34improve our economies and create more jobs and opportunity for people,
02:37particularly for young people who love to work in sport.
02:39This is a great opportunity and very, very good timing for both Canada and Mexico.
02:44How is to collaborate in Canada and Mexico?
02:47It's easy?
02:48Yeah, well, we already collaborate deeply,
02:51and there's no limit to the amount of shared opportunity that we have together,
02:57whether that's ensuring that our educational programs are complementary
03:01or our work opportunities are complementary,
03:04and to ensure that we're trading on a bilateral basis as much as possible
03:08because we want to be successful together.
03:10And like any good team sport, when you work hard together,
03:12you can expect more victories.
03:14So today out in the courtyard, we're celebrating soccer, certainly,
03:17but we're talking about business.
03:19We're talking about higher education, sport for development,
03:22and deepening our economic ties between our two countries.
03:25How are going the meetings that you're having here with some officials
03:28here in Mexico City, and what do you expect for your meetings in Monterey?
03:33Oh, they're excellent today.
03:34I can tell you that among all of the cities that I've met with
03:36and all of the heads of mission, as well as the mayors
03:38and the municipal leads on these tournaments
03:42across the 16 host cities in North America,
03:46Mexico City is among the most ambitious.
03:48And it's really, really remarkable to see how much they are excited
03:52to leverage the power of sport in improving the lives of people
03:58who live here in Mexico City, whether it's a young person
04:01who's never kicked a ball before that might have that occasion
04:04and opportunity in 2026 because you're a host city,
04:08or if you're just somebody that wants to commute to work
04:10and would prefer to ride a bike.
04:12It's going to improve that infrastructure as well.
04:14It's going to cast a bright light on the power of physical activity and sport
04:18to improve our lives, our livelihoods, our health, our mental health,
04:21and the connections that our communities thrive on.
04:24So really, this couldn't come at a better time for Mexico or Canada.
04:27I just want to emphasize that sport is what brought our leaders together.
04:32President Schoenbaum, President Trump, and Prime Minister Kearney
04:35were there together talking about important issues that impact our country,
04:39but they're there because of sport as the foundation of those meetings.
04:43So it's another opportunity to appreciate the power of sport,
04:46to convene, to lay the groundwork,
04:49and to start the meeting off with a smile or a handshake
04:52or a congratulations or a felicidad.
04:54So it really is just another opportunity to emphasize the power of sport.
05:00Thank you very much.
05:00My pleasure.
