00:00Thank you, President Xi.
00:04Next, a toast by President Trump.
00:21Well, thank you very much. This is a great honor. It was a fantastic day.
00:26And in particular, I want to thank President Xi, my friend, for this magnificent welcome.
00:34And it really was a magnificent welcome like none other.
00:38And for so graciously hosting us on this very historic state visit.
00:45We had extremely positive and productive conversations and meetings today with the Chinese delegation earlier.
00:52And this evening is another cherished opportunity to discuss among friends some of the things that we discussed today.
01:02All good for the United States and for China.
01:06And it was a great honor to be with you. Please.
01:56The relationship between the American and Chinese people goes all the way back to America's founding, the first American council
02:05to China, Samuel Shaw, arrived on the first American trading ship,
02:10to reach these shores. In 1784, the Chinese merchants had a name for the Americans. They called their visions the
02:20new people.
02:21Two and a half centuries later, that first connection has grown into one of the most consequential relationships in world
02:29history.
02:30However, the American people and the Chinese people together can reach the United States to the United States.
02:37The American people together, the American people together, the American people together.
03:07It has become the most important connection in the world.
03:15From the beginning, our citizens have shared a deep sense of mutual respect.
03:20Founding father, Benjamin Franklin, published the sayings of Confucius in his colonial newspaper.
03:28And today's sculpture, recognizing that ancient Chinese sage is carved into the face of the United States Supreme Court, very
03:37proudly.
03:39From the beginning, the American people together.
03:41From the beginning, our people together have a deep respect to each other.
03:46The American father, Benjamin Franklin Franklin, has published in his colonial newspaper.
03:54The American people together, and in the United States Supreme Court.
04:09The appreciation ran in both directions.
04:12Chinese admirers of President George Washington gifted a stone tablet, honoring his memory,
04:19to adorn the Washington Monument.
04:22It bears the words of a Chinese official
04:25who called the great general and statesman
04:27a hero among men.
05:04And across the centuries,
05:07this mutual esteem grew into a relationship
05:09that reflected the tremendous talent
05:11and potential of our two people.
05:15Chinese workers helped lay the railroad tracks
05:18that connected our Atlantic coast
05:20to the Pacific.
05:21American travelers to China
05:23helped spread literacy and modern medicine.
05:26And at the request of China's ambassador,
05:29it was President Theodore Roosevelt
05:31who provided the funds
05:33to establish President Xi's alma mater,
05:36Tsinghua University.
05:38In the past several years,
05:41this mutual respect has become a new relationship.
05:46This conflict can be said
05:48that it can bring us
05:48from our two countries.
05:50It can bring us a huge potential
05:51and our efforts and wisdom.
05:55Chinese workers helped the U.S.
05:59to build our railroad tracks,
06:02connected to the U.S.
06:03and the Pacific Ocean region.
06:31As allies in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt's
06:36mentions of the brave people of China, that's what they were, grew loud cheers in his speeches
06:42in the United States, and everybody loved what he had to say, just as many Chinese now love
06:48basketball and blue jeans, Chinese restaurants in America today outnumber the five largest
06:55fast food chains in the United States, all combined, that's a pretty big statement.
07:00So, as a member of the Second World War II, the President of the United States
07:05has mentioned in many other talks in the United States in the United States, as many Chinese
07:13people who love basketball and blue jeans in the United States, in the United States, the
07:21number of restaurants in the United States will be more than the average food chains in the
07:25United States than the United States.
07:29This bond of commerce and respect that stretches back 250 years is the foundation for a future
07:36that benefits both of our nations.
07:38The American and Chinese people share much in common.
07:42We value hard work.
07:44We value courage and achievement.
07:46We love our families and we love our countries.
07:49Together we have the chance to draw on these values to create a future of greater prosperity,
07:55cooperation and happiness and peace for our children.
08:00We love our children.
08:02This region and the world is a special world with the two of us united and together.
08:07I say that.
08:07When sharpeningaceuticals outwears from this organized movement,
08:15I am so grateful for that and remember,
08:18we love our families and people.
08:22Nobody wants to do anything other than our countries.
08:25When laughing happens, we love our family and our countries.
08:35They are the family and we will save lives with the black of the world.
08:36We will control ourwill
08:52Thank you again, President Xi, for this beautiful welcome.
08:57And tonight it is my honor to extend an invitation to you and Madam Peng to visit us at the
09:05White House.
09:05This September 24th, and we look forward to it, and I'd now like to raise a glass and propose a
09:14toast to the rich and enduring ties between the American and Chinese people.
09:18It's a very special relationship, and I want to thank you again. This has been an amazing period of time.
09:25Thank you, President Xi.
