00:00Buenas tardes a todos, bienvenidos a todo el mundo.
00:13Hoy, he tenido la primera reunión de una serie de reuniones
00:19visando a establecer una nueva relación global entre el Canadá y los Estados Unidos.
00:26President Trump and I met today as leaders of two sovereign, independent nations.
00:32And I want to thank the President and the members of his cabinet that attended
00:37for welcoming me and my colleagues to the White House
00:41and for our very constructive discussions.
00:44I conveyed to the President today what our countries have long proven to be true.
00:51That Canada and the United States are stronger when we work together.
00:56We can get a better deal for our workers.
01:00We can create more opportunities for our businesses.
01:03We can build stronger economies across North America when we work together.
01:08And really today marked the end of the beginning of a process of the United States and Canada
01:16redefining that relationship of working together.
01:20The question is how we will cooperate in the future, how we can build an economic and security relationship
01:28built on mutual respect, built on common interests, and that delivers transformational benefits to our economies.
01:38We had what I would describe as wide-ranging and, as I said a moment ago, very constructive discussions.
01:50We agreed to have further conversations in the coming weeks and we are looking forward to meeting in person
01:56at the G7 summit in Kananaskis in Alberta.
02:01Now, while that's going on in Canada, we will focus on what we can control.
02:07We are going to reinforce our strength at home.
02:24We will reinforce Canada's security for an increasingly dangerous and divided world.
02:34We will transform our border security, our security in the Arctic, and our support for our allies around the world.
02:42We will build an economy that creates jobs, grows incomes, and withstand shocks with, in fact, the strongest economy in the G7, an economy that works for everyone.
02:52We will build a new Canadian economy where everyone can succeed in a world that is profoundly transformed.
03:04We will build the infrastructure that will allow our companies to join the new market around the world.
03:13And we will build a single Canadian economy, not 13.
03:18We are masters in our own home, and we can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away.
03:24So now is the time to build, and based on the discussion today, to build at home and to build with our partners abroad, including the United States.
03:34Merci beaucoup. Thank you very much, and I look forward to your questions.
03:38Thank you, Prime Minister. We'll now begin the press conference.
03:40We'll begin with questions from the travelling delegation.
03:43First question, Première question.
03:45Good afternoon, Prime Minister Tonda McCharles, Toronto Star.
03:48I was watching your face through the meeting in the Oval Office, and I wondered what was going through your mind when the President talked about re-erasing the artificial border,
03:58and how he criticized your predecessor and Madam Freeland.
04:02Well, thank you for, I guess, for your question.
04:07I'm glad that you couldn't tell what was going through my mind as that was going through.
04:12Look, with respect to the first point, the President has made known his wish about that issue for some time.
04:27I've been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality.
04:30I was clear there in the Oval Office, as I've been clear throughout on behalf of Canadians, that this is never going to happen.
04:38Canada's not for sale. It never will be for sale.
04:40Some things, as I said in the room, some things are never for sale, and he agreed with that.
04:46So, I distinguish between the two, and then with respect to the importance of re-establishing a constructive relationship for negotiations of a partnership,
04:58of an economic and security partnership, which is what we were here for, I look for it, not back, and I think we established a good basis today.
05:08What gives you specifically any indication that the President is willing to renegotiate a new trade deal with you and drop tariffs?
05:21Apart from the fact that he said that he would, is willing to have that negotiation, I think that's the main thing.
05:29That doesn't mean, that doesn't presuppose the outcome of the negotiation. As I've emphasized, it's a complex negotiation.
05:35There will be zigs and zags, difficult aspects to it. But the prospect is there. We discussed it in more detail.
05:43And as I said a moment ago, we'll be following up, both between officials, but also he and I in the coming weeks. Thank you.
05:53Sorry.
05:54Well, thank you. Thank you.
05:56Bonjour, Monsieur Carney.
05:57Bonjour, Madame.
05:58Avec quoi ressortez-vous concrètement de cette rencontre avec Monsieur Trump?
06:02Oui. Nous avons eu une discussion à travers des sujets, des sujets géopolitiques et des sujets et des enjeux qui impliquent les relations commerciales du Canada et des États-Unis.
06:17Nous avons eu une trajet concrète. Nous avons eu une change de perspective en ce qui concerne les tarifs, les objectifs stratégiques des États-Unis, les objectifs stratégiques du Canada.
06:33Et il y a plusieurs enjeux sur lesquels on peut avancer les discussions.
06:45Alors, il y a un plan qui existe et une volonté qui existe entre les deux pays d'avancer les discussions. Mais il n'y a pas de décision sur n'importe quel tarif aujourd'hui.
07:01Quand il a été question, quand on a posé la question à Monsieur Trump sur les tarifs, s'il avait l'intention, si vous pouviez faire quelque chose pour les lever, pour les supprimer, il a dit non. Comment est-ce que vous l'interprétez?
07:11Ce n'était pas une surprise pour moi. Pas tout. Non, non, pas tout. Parce que c'est une situation très complexe. Il y a plusieurs tarifs. Il y a des liens entre les initiatives américaines.
07:26Il y a un monde qui est plus dangereux et divisé. Et il y a des liens entre nos relations secrétaires et nos relations économiques. Alors, il n'y a pas une initiative canadienne qui peut changer cette situation.
07:47C'est la raison pour laquelle il faut avoir des discussions globales.
07:52Ce que je voulais dire, c'est qu'il faut s'attendre encore à ce que plusieurs mois, dans les prochains mois, ça reste.
07:58On verra. Non, non, on verra. On verra combien de temps ça va prendre.
08:08Question, prochaine question.
08:09Ce n'est pas nécessairement comme ça.
08:11Hi, Prime Minister. Joanna Smith from The Logic.
08:14At one point during the meeting in the Oval Office,
08:17the President, when talking about the tariffs and talking about a deal,
08:20also made very clear that when it comes to autos, his goal is to have car makers make them in the U.S.
08:26and for the tariffs to not make any economical sense to be made in Canada anymore.
08:31Do you anticipate lifting tariffs on autos at any point?
08:36And what did you tell him in the room about that topic?
08:39Well, we had discussion about all the major issues in the room, so to speak, in the lunch afterwards, including autos.
08:47And specifically, without going into the full details, the strategic position of the North American auto industry,
08:55or more specifically the Canadian U.S. auto industry, versus foreign competition, including from Asia,
09:02and how that could be enhanced.
09:04I and the Canadian government, and I would say the Canadian auto industry,
09:10I would actually say the auto industry as a whole, is of the view that Canada, the Canadian auto workers,
09:17Canadian auto companies, Canadian parts companies, Canadian steel, Canadian aluminum,
09:22all play an important role in enhancing the competitiveness of American auto companies.
09:29So we will continue to press that case and look for an arrangement that takes full advantage of it for the benefit of the United States,
09:35but of course, from our perspective, very much for the benefit of Canada.
09:39And what did he ask you about China and your closed-door meetings, and what did you tell him?
09:44That's why they're closed-door.
09:47Let's see, well, yeah.
09:50We had a wide-ranging discussion.
09:52Next question, prochaine question.
09:53Bonjour, M. Carney. Michel Sabat, La Presse canadienne.
09:56Je vais essayer de faire du chemin sur la question de ma collègue Mélanie un peu plus tôt.
10:00Est-ce que vous repartez avec quoi que ce soit de tangible au niveau du commerce des droits de douane?
10:06Oui.
10:07Et comme j'ai dit il y a quelques jours, je n'attendais pas qu'il y aura de fumée blanc ici.
10:18OK?
10:19Parce que ce sont des négociations, comme je viens de dire, très complexes.
10:23Il y a beaucoup d'aspects.
10:25Mais on a fait du progrès.
10:27On a fait du progrès.
10:28Nous avons eu des échanges très compréhensifs, très tangibles.
10:34Et il y aura des réunions entre les ministres et les fonctionnaires.
10:42Et puis, entre lui et moi, lui, M. le Président, et moi, sur l'appel, en Alberta au mi-juin.
10:53Alors, il y a… on a fait du progrès.
10:57Mais toujours, dans les négociations commerciales, n'importe quelle négociation commerciale, il y a un processus et le fin, et pas nécessairement de progrès qui est apparent pendant les négociations.
11:14Ça, c'est les vies des négociations. OK?
11:18En anglais, en… I mean, to summarize, look, in a negotiation, you don't get, like, little elements of it.
11:26You get an end to a negotiation.
11:28We're having a very complex negotiation about a wide range of issues.
11:32And it's… as I said before I came here, I wouldn't have expected white smoke coming out of this meeting.
11:37That was not my expectation, because of the nature of the negotiation.
11:41So, you don't expect to have specific progress as things move along, even when you're making progress, because it's a global… that's why it's a global negotiation.
11:51Parlant de l'Alberta, que pensez-vous de l'idée de Daniel Smith d'encourager la tenue d'un référendum sur la souveraineté de l'Alberta?
12:00Le Canada… le Canada est plus fort quand nous travaillons ensemble comme Canadiens et Canadiennes.
12:08Alors, on peut… on peut poser des questions, mais pour moi, la réponse est claire.
12:20Le Canada est… le Canada est plus fort quand nous travaillons ensemble.
12:26Le Canada est plus fort quand nous travaillons ensemble.
12:28En tant que Albertan, je pense que vous pouvez toujours poser une question, mais je sais que je répondrais clairement.
12:34La prochaine question.
12:35La prochaine question.
12:36Bonjour, M. Carney. Olivier Ferrand-Boissé de TVA.
12:38Est-ce que M. Trump vous a convaincu qu'il voulait bel et bien renégocier l'accord de libre-échange parce que ça ne semblait pas clair dans le bureau avant tout à l'heure?
12:45Non, c'est clair. C'est clair. Oui. Oui.
12:48À plusieurs reprises que…
12:50C'est clair qu'il y a… il y aura… oui. Nous avons commencé la renégociation de nos relations commerciales, y compris l'ALENA. OK?
13:05Vous aviez dit à plusieurs reprises que, selon vous, M. Trump voulait nous briser pour nous posséder. Est-ce que c'est encore votre lecture de ses intentions après votre rencontre de nos jours?
13:16Je crois que… nous sommes forts. Et le Canada devient de plus en plus fort, jour après jour, semaine après semaine, avec le nouveau gouvernement. Alors, il va être déçu de cette idée.
13:34Merci.
13:36Merci.
13:37Good afternoon, Prime Minister. J.P. Tasker, CBC News. How are you?
13:40I'm well, thank you, J.P. How are you?
13:42I'm good.
13:43Good.
13:44Do you feel better or worse about Canada-U.S. relations after meeting with the President today?
13:49Look, it was a very constructive meeting. I feel better about the relations in the sense of… in many respects.
13:58One, the posture, if I can put it that way, or the positioning the President took towards us. Secondly, the breadth of discussion and how concrete the discussions were. These are the discussions you have when you're looking to find solutions, as opposed to laying down terms, if you will. So feel better about that.
14:27And I would add one other thing, which maybe isn't as obvious, so I should say it, which is that we also discussed a number of issues globally, geo-strategically, if I can put it that way, where we have common interests, common concerns.
14:42And that, of course, is a sign of a broader and very healthy relationship. Look, we have a lot more work to do. I'm not trying to suggest at any respect that we can have one meeting and everything's changed, but now we are engaged and very fully engaged.
15:01Good afternoon, Prime Minister Ashley Burke, CBC News. What specifically did you say to President Trump about lifting tariffs on Canada? And based on your conversations, what do you think it would take to get those tariffs lifted, and how long could it take?
15:16I can't answer the second part of your question, because we don't make that decision. But certainly press the case in a number of areas where we think the tariffs should be lifted.
15:28And specifically, I'll give an example with respect to the scourge of fentanyl and the considerable efforts that have been made at our border and behind the border in terms of raids as well.
15:42Huge investments in border personnel, in drone surveillance, Blackhawk surveillance. And then those are being reinforced, as you would have seen during the campaign, commitments to another 2,000 in effect, border, 1,000 border guards through CBSA, another 1,000 RCMP, further efforts there.
16:05And what we're seeing is huge results for this. Canada's contribution to this cross-border problem was always very small, but it's down by over 90 percent with the efforts.
16:17And it is an absolute focus of the government. So that is an example of where we would see the case being very strong for the tariffs to be removed. We've made that case. We'll see where that goes.
16:29In other areas, the tariffs are, in our view, not in the interests of American competitiveness and jobs. We have more work to do on making those cases on that. Thank you.
16:45In French, on the fentanyl, s'il vous plaît. Pardon?
16:47Pardon? Sur le fentanyl?
16:49Sur le fentanyl, alors, nous avons fait beaucoup de progrès en ce qui concerne le fentanyl. Il y a une chute. On a commencé avec un niveau très bas par rapport au Mexique. C'est moins de 1 %, mais il y avait une chute de le niveau,
17:13le montant du fentanyl, c'est presque 0,1 % maintenant des exemples. Alors, mais ce n'est pas par hasard, parce que nous avons investi beaucoup en ce qui concerne la sécurité de nos frontières. Et mon gouvernement va réinvestir de plus, 20 % de plus, par exemple, par rapport à les
17:43agents de la frontière. Alors, le cas pour enlever ou supprimer les tarifs de fentanyl est très fort, très fort maintenant.
17:54Thank you. We'll have time for one last question and follow-up. Dernière question, question de suivi.
17:59Hi, Prime Minister. Stephanie Taylor with the National Post. I heard you say, you know, there's a difference between the President's comments around Canada becoming a 51st state as a wish versus a reality.
18:10You told him that Canada was not for sale. But many Canadians are offended and deeply angered by the fact that he keeps repeating this comment.
18:19So, have you asked the President to stop calling Canada the 51st state?
18:23Yes. Today.
18:26Specifically, what did you ask him?
18:28Exactly what you just said.
18:30What words did you use? How did you ask him?
18:32Look, I gave you an answer. I gave you an answer. Do you have a follow-up? No.
18:37What was his answer?
18:39Well, look, I don't know. He's the President. He's his own person.
18:44I would go back to showing the difference between a wish and a reality.
18:50We're very clear. I've been very clear publicly, consistently. I've been very clear in private.
18:55It was clear again in the Oval Office. It would be clear throughout. The President, he understands that we're having a negotiation between sovereign nations and that we will only pursue and accept a deal that's in the best interest of Canada, not just in the short term, but in the medium and long term for Canada.
19:18I said it's not useful to repeat this idea. I said it to him. But the President, he will say what he wants. But there's a big difference between the reality and the will, as you know.
19:45This will be the last question. Sorry, just last question.
19:48Okay.
19:49Stefton, take a follow-up. So last question, please. Thank you.
19:51This is Bapa Manga from The Wall Street Journal. Given what's happened with the USMCA and the tariffs that Canada's facing, how do you trust that the US right now is negotiating good faith? And how do you trust?
20:00I mean, that's the bottom line on that. It's a process, you see. And I would emphasize the following, which is that we have been in the process, as most would know, of an election. And so this is the point at which a serious discussion begins.
20:22And so we had the President at his invitation. I'm here. He welcomed us. We had a very substantive, wide-ranging discussion with the President, but in the presence of the Vice President, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and beyond his Chief of Staff as well.
20:44Now I'm in trouble. Stephen Miller. I think that covers it. That covers it? I hope so. And we have some very specific things to follow up on and build out from that. And in any negotiation, then you make a determination based on that.
21:04And also, part of what you make a determination based on is, are the incentives aligned in the agreement that you get? And I think the lesson would be of this experience is to ensure that the incentives are aligned and durably so between the two countries. And that is a way that agreements are self-reinforcing. Thank you very much.
21:29Prime Minister, this was the next press conference.
21:31Sorry about that, it was the type that made it to our press conference.
21:32Thank you.
21:33Second.
21:34Thank you.
21:35Thanks, Dr.
21:52Thank you.
21:52punched the echo.
21:56This is too.
