00:00The President, thank you very much indeed in hosting us this morning and thank you very much indeed also for that very typical 11th hour intervention by you with your phone call to the President demanding even more out of this deal than any of us expected.
00:25So thank you for that. The Prime Minister was delighted obviously to take that call late at night.
00:33But you took it to another level and I think the point I would make is twofold.
00:39One is that if we're going to rebalance and rebuild international trade in a way that serves all our interests then we're better doing that together than separately and apart.
00:53And that's what we're on a mission to do.
00:57But secondly you've done what you said you would do.
01:00You said to the Prime Minister when he came and we visited in the Oval that you would do a good trade deal with the United Kingdom.
01:12That you would do it at pace and that we would be first.
01:16And you have delivered that. You've been true to your word.
01:18So thank you very much indeed for that.
01:22For us it's not the end. It's the sort of it's the end just of the beginning.
01:28I mean there is yet more we can do in reducing tariffs and trade barriers so as to open up our markets to each other even more than we are agreeing to do today.
01:40But it also provides us with the platform, the springboard to do what I think will be even more valuable for both our countries in the future.
01:52And that's creating a technology partnership between the United States and the United Kingdom.
02:00So that we can harness science and technology in order to create future industries and future jobs.
02:08And to do that together in the way we work so closely already in the national security and defense area,
02:15we can just take that to yet further areas of science, enterprise and endeavors.
02:22So we're looking forward to doing that in the coming months.
02:28You've launched us extremely well today.
02:32It just, in my view, as the Prime Minister has said, just shows what two countries who trust each other,
02:40who are confident in each other and are familiar with each other can do,
02:44not just for ourselves but for those in the rest of the world who need to benefit from a bigger and better international trading system.
02:52Thank you very much.
02:54It was beautifully stated.
02:55What a beautiful accent.
02:57I'd like to have that accent.
02:59My mother would be proud.
03:01Thank you very much.
03:02Any questions?
