00:00DINNER FOR ME AND MY DELEGATION
00:01Donald, thank you very much for your warm feelings toward Japan and your friendship.
00:21So tonight, I would like to start off by extending my sincere congratulations
00:27on two important anniversaries.
00:40The first one is a birthday celebration.
00:44Donald, tomorrow is a birthday of your son, Mr. Baron Trump.
00:49And I know he has grown up so much into a very tall, good-looking gentleman.
00:57So, I think I would like to see you as your father.
01:04As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it.
01:09Of course, from his parents, there is no doubt about it.
01:16So, Donald, if I may ask you, please convey my sincere happy birthday wishes to him.
01:25Thank you.
01:48The second one is the 250th anniversary of the United States, as you rightly mentioned.
01:55The United States has long been an icon of freedom and democracy in the world.
02:01And this year, the United States is marking a historic milestone.
02:06And on behalf of the government and the people of Japan, I would like to extend my deepest congratulations
02:12to you and the American people.
02:29And I understand that in August this year, at Donald's suggestion, IndyCar Race, Freedom to
02:35Under 50 Grand Prix will be held here in Washington, D.C.
02:46This race will bring roaring Chevrolet and Honda engines to the National Mall.
03:03In addition, Japan's NTT Group has been a title sponsor of the IndyCar Series.
03:11As you see, IndyCar Race is a perfect, perfect example of the friendship between Japan and the United States.
03:22So, I do hope that you have a huge success at this racing event.
03:38Speaking of our friendship, here in Washington, D.C., Japanese sakura or cherry trees have long been letting us know
03:47the arrival of spring, and also it has been a symbol of the history of Japan-U.S. friendship.
04:01This is also something that Donald already mentioned, but I would like to reiterate.
04:09This year, Japan extends a gift of additional 250 cherry trees to Washington, D.C. to celebrate America 250.
04:33Actually, my original plan was to bring so many cherry flowers and directly hand it to you, Donald.
04:40But unfortunately, because of the very strict quarantine measures that I couldn't make this happen.
04:58A strong Japan and a stronger America. A more prosperous Japan and a more prosperous America. I am very confident
05:09that Donald and I are the best buddies to realize this shared goal.
05:16I am very confident that Donald and the President of Washington, D.C.
05:22The President of Washington, D.C.
05:24The President of Washington, D.C. and the President of Washington, D.C.
05:32Late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was Donald's dear friend and also my dear friend too, eloquently said one phrase
05:40here in Washington, D.C. upon his visit.
05:43And as I stand here today, I would like to repeat what he said with greater pride and confidence.
05:50Japan is back!
05:54Japan is back!
06:02Japan is back!
06:12Japan is back!
06:14Japan is back!
06:15Japan will lead the innovation in the world and the new Japan stands ready to play an even greater role
06:21for war's peace.
06:31Japan will continue to walk on such path together with Donald and together with the American people.
06:48Let us together create a new chapter in the history of Japan-US alliance. A chapter filled with hope and
06:56strength. Thank you very much.
06:58Thank you very much.
07:28At least once a year...
