00:00 Welcome, welcome and good morning, or as you would say, good day.
00:05 It's an honor to welcome you all to the White House as we celebrate the enduring alliance
00:10 between Australia and the United States.
00:13 We're ensuring the Indo-Pacific remains free, open, and prosperous and secure,
00:19 including through our historic AUKUS partnership with the United Kingdom.
00:25 Together, we're standing with Israel against Hamas' terrorism.
00:30 We're standing with Ukraine against Putin's tyranny.
00:34 And we're providing and proving that democracy can deliver.
00:38 You have stood up for a simple principle,
00:42 the principle that every innocent life matters, Israeli and Palestinian,
00:48 and that in every conflict, every effort must be made to protect civilians.
