00:00Great, thank you Prime Minister Malone, who's become a good friend of mine, and I know I speak for the President when I say we're both big fans of yours and of course of Italy.
00:09The people of Italy have been most gracious, especially today, which was a beautiful ceremony, and all credit goes to the Vatican, but of course your government for making it possible for so many foreign leaders to come in and celebrate Pope Leo's inaugural mass.
00:21Of course, an American pope, the United States is very proud of him, very thrilled with him, and certainly our prayers go with him as he starts this very important work.
00:28I'm looking forward to this conversation.
00:30I think one of the things that Prime Minister Malone has offered to do, and of course the President and I are excited to accept, is really to be a bridge builder, I think in some ways, between Europe and the United States.
00:43I've said repeatedly that I think Europe is an important ally of the United States, the individual countries within Europe are important allies of the United States, but of course we have some disagreements, as friends sometimes do, on issues like trade.
00:56And we also have many agreements and many things that we can work on together, and I'm looking forward to this conversation, so I appreciate Prime Minister Maloney's hospitality.
01:05I appreciate Commissioner von der Leyen being here and being willing to engage in this conversation.
01:10I think we'll have a great conversation, and hopefully we'll be the beginning of some long-term trade negotiations and some long-term trade advantages between both Europe and the United States.
01:22Thank you.
