:00:15. > :00:16.With very different views on trade and immigration,
:00:17. > :00:21.the neighbours will have to find a way to get along.
:00:22. > :00:22.It's the President's first face-to-face meeting
:00:23. > :00:24.with the Liberal leader, who has already taken shots
:00:25. > :00:31.We'll be live at the White House for their joint news conference,
:00:32. > :00:37.White House intrigue - did the President's National
:00:38. > :00:39.Security Adviser discuss US sanctions with the
:00:40. > :00:43.And does he still have the backing of his boss?
:00:44. > :00:46.Also, building the wall - we'll meet the Mexicans
:00:47. > :00:50.who are already working to reinforce the US border.
:00:51. > :00:52.And, testing the President - how might the Trump administration
:00:53. > :01:12.respond to North Korea's latest missile launch?
:01:13. > :01:14.When it comes to immigration, climate change, free trade
:01:15. > :01:17.and perhaps a whole host of other important issues, Donald Trump and
:01:18. > :01:21.Yes, it is going to be a "delicate" afternoon
:01:22. > :01:24.He is in Washington for their first meeting.
:01:25. > :01:27.But a crucially important one given Donald Trump's threat to renegotiate
:01:28. > :01:28.the North American Free Trade Agreement,
:01:29. > :01:35.Trade between the two countries is currently
:01:36. > :01:40.Last year the US had a slight trading surplus
:01:41. > :01:42.in goods and services - around $12 billion.
:01:43. > :01:43.They share the world's longest international border
:01:44. > :01:46.and across it they do $2 billion of trade every day.
:01:47. > :01:50.But here is why this relationship is so crucially
:01:51. > :01:52.important to the Canadians - 75% of their exports go
:01:53. > :02:05.Which is why any new tariffs would have a huge knock-on effect.
:02:06. > :02:14.This is the scene at the White House. Everybody congregating and
:02:15. > :02:22.the various anchors going through their paces. We will take you live
:02:23. > :02:26.there Wendy two leaders appear. -- there when the two.
:02:27. > :02:30.He is a former foreign policy advisor to Justin Trudeau
:02:31. > :02:32.and now a professor of international affairs
:02:33. > :02:40.Do you think it is possible for the two to find common ground? Entirely
:02:41. > :02:43.possible. We will see what happens in the press conference but all of
:02:44. > :02:50.the indications are that the meeting has gone well. They issued a
:02:51. > :02:53.statement that emphasised building conditions for jobs and both
:02:54. > :02:57.countries, a priority for both leaders, and I think they were both
:02:58. > :03:02.determined to make this a positive meeting. Indeed they have
:03:03. > :03:10.differences, you mentioned a number of them in your introduction. It
:03:11. > :03:13.will be for Justin Trudeau and -- a matter of managing the differences
:03:14. > :03:19.and striking a balance over the coming years. It is one thing to
:03:20. > :03:22.have one positive meeting, it is another to develop effective
:03:23. > :03:29.mutually beneficial foreign policy between the two. You have already
:03:30. > :03:33.had Justin Trudeau when the immigration and was introduced,
:03:34. > :03:40.saying immigrants are welcome to Canada. It was not a subtle dig. One
:03:41. > :03:45.positive meeting is better than one bad meeting or a terrible phone
:03:46. > :03:50.call. True! I agree it will be a long-term challenge. The purpose of
:03:51. > :03:54.the meeting was for them to establish a relationship and move
:03:55. > :03:58.forward and that will be important the moving forward the positive
:03:59. > :04:02.agenda where they have common interests but also dealing with some
:04:03. > :04:07.of the differences. Canadians expect their Prime Minister both to strike
:04:08. > :04:13.a working effective relationship with the US president and to uphold
:04:14. > :04:15.Canadian values and stand up for Canadian interests. Justin Trudeau
:04:16. > :04:19.is demonstrating that he will be able to walk that line but a lot
:04:20. > :04:27.depends on what Donald Trump does in the next weeks, months and years,
:04:28. > :04:30.indeed the next few minutes. We have just shown our viewers why the
:04:31. > :04:37.relationship is potentially imbalanced. 70 cents -- 75% of
:04:38. > :04:40.American exports go to the US, so you can talk tough but at some point
:04:41. > :04:46.he will have to back off and accommodate the president. Not
:04:47. > :04:50.necessarily. It is an imbalanced relationship but there are 35 of the
:04:51. > :04:56.50 US states that have Canada as their principal export market. That
:04:57. > :05:00.relationship is responsible or supporting millions of jobs in the
:05:01. > :05:05.US. There is no indication that Donald Trump other people around him
:05:06. > :05:09.see Canada as a problem for them economically. Canada has not been
:05:10. > :05:17.singled out internationally even when Donald cup has been attacking
:05:18. > :05:23.Nafta. My reading of this is cautious optimism on the economic
:05:24. > :05:26.side. We are focused on Brexit here but I wonder for the Canadians how
:05:27. > :05:31.life has changed in recent months. You were negotiating a deal with the
:05:32. > :05:36.EU and the British government said, hey, what about Brexit, and then
:05:37. > :05:41.suddenly Donald Trump and picks Nafta. Has that shifted the focus in
:05:42. > :05:49.Canada over the past few months? Indeed it has. There is no question
:05:50. > :05:54.that the rate in ship with the US is always primordial for Canada. -- be
:05:55. > :05:57.relationship with. So many of the reasons you mentioned in the
:05:58. > :06:07.introduction. The government was planning for difference in a Rio 's
:06:08. > :06:12.-- scenarios but the government were as surprised as anybody. That
:06:13. > :06:17.Canadians are great pleased that the Canada- EU trade agreement moved
:06:18. > :06:21.forward and Canadians are committed to open trade and the government is
:06:22. > :06:27.seeking to expand trade relationships with Asia as well. We
:06:28. > :06:30.will come back to you because we still waiting for the press
:06:31. > :06:34.conference to take place. We will get your thoughts on it as and well
:06:35. > :06:40.it happens. Let's look at a relationship which
:06:41. > :06:46.is not going well currently fill the Americans, North Korea on the back
:06:47. > :06:52.of Iran testing a missile did the same.
:06:53. > :07:07.The president has been pretty restrained in his response but what
:07:08. > :07:11.will happen going forward? Looking at what Donald Trump did
:07:12. > :07:16.over the weekend after the North Koreans tested this missile and his
:07:17. > :07:23.response to it, what did you make of the president and how he faced his
:07:24. > :07:28.first real international test? I believe he made the correct
:07:29. > :07:32.response, basically saying that we stand behind the Japanese, without
:07:33. > :07:38.overreacting, was -- without talking about steps that the US and the
:07:39. > :07:45.Allies might take to this violation of a Security Council resolution. I
:07:46. > :07:49.give him good marks for being restrained, because now he has a lot
:07:50. > :07:53.of options on the table. Clearly North Korea was testing the new
:07:54. > :07:58.administration, they would like to get into these ideological and
:07:59. > :08:05.policy skirmishes, and I think the president kept his options open. The
:08:06. > :08:09.next test is, what do we do? There are not good options there. The
:08:10. > :08:15.first is go to the Security Council at the UN, which we are doing now,
:08:16. > :08:20.possibly more sanctions, at the very least a condemnation of this
:08:21. > :08:24.ballistic missile, which was intermediate, not a long one, not
:08:25. > :08:33.routine but a provocation nonetheless. Full disclosure, you
:08:34. > :08:37.are a Democrat and you don't hear many Democrat ever saying Donald
:08:38. > :08:42.Trump does the right thing at the moment, so I appreciate that. On the
:08:43. > :08:46.relationship with China in the context of North Korea, you think
:08:47. > :08:49.America hasn't got a particularly good deal from the Chinese over
:08:50. > :08:56.North Korea. What do you think the Trump administration could do
:08:57. > :09:01.differently with Beijing? Clearly Beijing has not helped us. I have
:09:02. > :09:07.never felt that they have wanted to because they want that instability
:09:08. > :09:11.in East Asia. What do we do? I think sending a ballistic missiles
:09:12. > :09:16.cooperative agreement with South Korea, with Japan, would get
:09:17. > :09:21.Beijing's attention. They do not want this kind of geopolitical move
:09:22. > :09:25.on our part and I think we have to proceed with that. Then it is
:09:26. > :09:31.careful negotiations between the US and China, which I do think
:09:32. > :09:35.President Trump has corrected a bit by forgetting about Taiwan, saying
:09:36. > :09:41.we have one China policy, but we haven't started out well with China,
:09:42. > :09:48.we have said we will impose all kinds of tariffs on them, kind of a
:09:49. > :09:53.competitive warlike atmosphere that we seem to have generated from the
:09:54. > :09:57.campaign. China will be key but I don't think China is the answer, I
:09:58. > :10:02.don't think they will help us on North Korea, I think we have to find
:10:03. > :10:07.new ways to deal with North Korea that are not on the table. I wonder
:10:08. > :10:11.if I could ask you about the National Security adviser, Michael
:10:12. > :10:16.Flynn. Of course he would have been in the president's here with regard
:10:17. > :10:19.to North Korea but he has faced his own headlines over the weekend. As a
:10:20. > :10:23.diplomat you would understand that he had to work the back channels
:10:24. > :10:32.with the Russians and he would have been talking about sanctions. Would
:10:33. > :10:34.that be a problem view? No. I think the national security adviser,
:10:35. > :10:42.obviously he has a lot of questions to answer. Yes, it is a problem if
:10:43. > :10:45.there were discussions while President Obama was still the
:10:46. > :10:53.president. He will have to answer that with the president, the vice
:10:54. > :11:00.president, other groups. The national security adviser is key on
:11:01. > :11:06.decisions on security issues like North Korea, Iran, Russia. He or she
:11:07. > :11:13.coordinates the State Department, defence Department, CIA, joint
:11:14. > :11:18.policy recommendations that go to the president. While I think General
:11:19. > :11:24.Flynn deserves a day in court, obviously, this issue on the Russian
:11:25. > :11:29.discussions needs to be cleared up and very soon. We have had our
:11:30. > :11:34.two-minute warning at the press conference so we will have to go to
:11:35. > :11:40.Washington to the press conference with Justin Trudeau.
:11:41. > :11:55.Let's take you straight to the East Room in the White House. You can see
:11:56. > :11:59.their raids moving around -- aides. You heard Roland Parris saying
:12:00. > :12:05.earlier that the Canadians are weaker economically but the Prime
:12:06. > :12:12.Minister will stand up for Canadian values, he has also made some
:12:13. > :12:15.criticism of Donald Trump and his immigration policy. They have to
:12:16. > :12:18.work together, they have this long powder and they are important to
:12:19. > :12:23.each other, but it will be interesting to watch the body
:12:24. > :12:27.language. That is very interesting, because I
:12:28. > :12:32.am not into body language or anything like that, but watching
:12:33. > :12:36.them at the photocall it didn't look like the easiest meeting, there was
:12:37. > :12:40.not the long handshake he gave to Shinzo Abe, it was a bit more
:12:41. > :12:44.strained, and they have things on which they will agree, and
:12:45. > :12:49.cross-border trade may be one, although they have different
:12:50. > :12:54.perspectives, climate issue is one area where they will clash, because
:12:55. > :12:58.Donald Trump has several climate sceptics in his inner circle and he
:12:59. > :13:05.seems the part -- determine to and do large parts of President Obama's
:13:06. > :13:10.legacy, but the keystone pipeline project which will carry oil from
:13:11. > :13:14.Canada to the Gold Coast refineries, that is something they will see eye
:13:15. > :13:21.to eye on very much. Justin Trudeau like that, the Canadian government
:13:22. > :13:26.acknowledged that it was the first executive order that the president
:13:27. > :13:33.signed, it was a gift to the Canadians. But I do think climate
:13:34. > :13:37.change will be a sticking point between them. These are two men with
:13:38. > :13:42.three different worldviews. I will try to find areas of agreement but
:13:43. > :13:45.one of them is pursuing a very conservative policy here in the US,
:13:46. > :13:52.socially, on climate change, economic 's comic immigration, and
:13:53. > :13:59.aides is known as the liberal leader of North America right now. --
:14:00. > :14:05.economics, immigration. He is the man who goes to meet the
:14:06. > :14:10.Syrian refugees, while President Trump is trying to keep them out.
:14:11. > :14:15.The relationship with Kanepi will the very different to the
:14:16. > :14:21.relationship with Mexico. -- with Canada.
:14:22. > :14:28.Yes, Americans feel they have a lot more in common with Canada than with
:14:29. > :14:32.Mexico. Mexico is an emerging economy, Canada is a fully first
:14:33. > :14:36.world economy, a place Americans might visit on holiday, Canadians
:14:37. > :14:45.come to America quite easily on their holidays, so there is a lot of
:14:46. > :14:50.cross-border traffic not just on trade but on tourism. One of the
:14:51. > :14:56.arguments on the wall has been a national security argument that the
:14:57. > :15:01.Republicans have raids, the argument about terrorists coming across. --
:15:02. > :15:08.have raised. The only terrorist to do so has come across the Canadian
:15:09. > :15:14.border, not the Mexican. They will talk about Nato as well, I
:15:15. > :15:18.would expect. Canada is very much an important Nato partner and doing a
:15:19. > :15:24.lot in Eastern Europe at the moment, as they always do, but they don't
:15:25. > :15:29.spend as much, they not up to the 2% barrier that Nato would like to see.
:15:30. > :15:32.They are in the doghouse when it comes to Nato spending, the
:15:33. > :15:37.president very keen for other Nato members to pick up the slack. Canada
:15:38. > :15:44.spending around 1% so I imagine he is putting pressure on him to up
:15:45. > :15:50.military spending. From the statement we have had and
:15:51. > :15:54.Roland Parris has been referring to that, the statement has been fairly
:15:55. > :16:05.positive. And here they are, here we go.
:16:06. > :16:15.The president and Prime Minister of Canada.
:16:16. > :16:21.Thank you. Prime Minister Trudeau, and a half of all Americans I think
:16:22. > :16:26.you are being with us today. -- on behalf. It is my honour to host such
:16:27. > :16:33.a great friend, neighbour and ally at the White House, a very special
:16:34. > :16:38.place. This year Canada celebrates the 150th year of Confederation. For
:16:39. > :16:41.Americans this is one of the many milestones in our friendships and we
:16:42. > :16:49.look forward very much to many more to come. Our two nations share much
:16:50. > :16:56.more than a border. We share the same values, we share the love, a
:16:57. > :17:01.truly great love of freedom, and we share a collective defence. American
:17:02. > :17:04.and Canadian troops have gone to battle together, fought wars
:17:05. > :17:11.together and forged the special bonds that come when two nations
:17:12. > :17:18.have shed their blood together, which we have. In these dangerous
:17:19. > :17:23.times it is more important than ever that we continue to strengthen our
:17:24. > :17:32.vital alliance. The US is deeply grateful to Canada's contribution to
:17:33. > :17:36.counter Isis. We continue to work in common and in common cause against
:17:37. > :17:42.terrorism and work in common cooperation towards reciprocal trade
:17:43. > :17:47.and shared growth. We understand that both of our countries are
:17:48. > :17:53.stronger when we join forces in matters of international, is one
:17:54. > :17:58.having more jobs and trade right here in North America is better for
:17:59. > :18:03.the United States and also much better for Canada. We should
:18:04. > :18:11.coordinate closely and we will coordinate closely. To protect jobs
:18:12. > :18:18.in our hemisphere and keep wealth on our continent and keep everyone
:18:19. > :18:23.safe. Prime Minister, I pledged to work with you in pursuit of our many
:18:24. > :18:30.shared interests, including a stronger shared trading relationship
:18:31. > :18:33.between the US and Canada, it includes safe efficient and
:18:34. > :18:38.responsible cross-border travel and migration and it includes close
:18:39. > :18:45.partnership on domestic and international security. America is
:18:46. > :18:49.deeply fortunate to have a neighbour like Canada. We have before us the
:18:50. > :18:56.opportunity to build even more bridges and ridges of cooperation
:18:57. > :19:03.and ridges of commerce. -- bridges of cooperation. Both of us are
:19:04. > :19:09.committed to bringing greater prosperity to our people. We have
:19:10. > :19:13.just had a productive meeting with women business leaders from the US
:19:14. > :19:20.and Canada where we discussed how to secure everything that we know the
:19:21. > :19:29.full power of women can do better than anybody else. We know that. I
:19:30. > :19:34.just want to say Mr Prime Minister, that I am focused and you are
:19:35. > :19:41.focused on the important role women play in our economies. We must work
:19:42. > :19:43.to address the barriers faced by women and women entrepreneurs,
:19:44. > :19:51.including access to capital, access to markets and very importantly
:19:52. > :19:58.access to networks. In our discussion today we will focus on
:19:59. > :20:03.improving the ways our governments together can benefits citizens of
:20:04. > :20:09.both the US and Canada and in so doing advance the greater peace and
:20:10. > :20:14.stability of the world. Mr Prime Minister, I look forward to working
:20:15. > :20:25.closely with you to build upon our very historic friendship. There are
:20:26. > :20:31.incredible possibilities for us to pursue, Canada and the US together.
:20:32. > :20:35.Again, thank you for joining us and I know our discussions will be very,
:20:36. > :20:44.very productive for the future of both countries, Mr Prime Minister.
:20:45. > :20:49.Thank you, Mr President. Thank you, everybody, for joining us. I would
:20:50. > :20:54.like to extend my sincere thanks to President Trump for inviting me to
:20:55. > :20:59.Washington. Any day I get to visit our southern neighbours is a good
:21:00. > :21:06.day, especially when it is so warm compared to back home. We are
:21:07. > :21:10.suffering from a harsh winter storm which is hitting our Atlantic
:21:11. > :21:26.promises. I hope everybody stays safe.
:21:27. > :21:36.HE SPEAKS FRENCH NEW LIKE ROPE We had the opportunity to talk about
:21:37. > :21:42.opportunities between our countries. No other neighbours in the entire
:21:43. > :21:49.world or is fundamentally linked as we are. We fought in conflict zones
:21:50. > :21:54.together, negotiated environmental treaties, including 1991's historic
:21:55. > :22:01.air quality agreement, and we have entered into ground-breaking
:22:02. > :22:05.economic contracts which have helped both peoples. We share a common
:22:06. > :22:12.history as well as people to people ties which make us completely
:22:13. > :22:16.integrated. Our workers are connected by trade, transportation
:22:17. > :22:22.and cross-border commerce. Our communities rely on each other for
:22:23. > :22:26.security, stability and economic prosperity. Our families have long
:22:27. > :22:33.lived and worked together. We know that more often than not our
:22:34. > :22:38.victories are shared and just as we celebrate together so, too, do we
:22:39. > :22:44.suffer loss and heartbreak together. Through it all the foundational
:22:45. > :22:49.pillar on which our relationship is built is one of mutual respect and
:22:50. > :22:52.that is a good thing, because as we know bullish on ships between
:22:53. > :22:58.neighbours are pretty complexity and we won't always agree on every
:22:59. > :23:06.thing. -- relationships are twain neighbours. Thanks to our respect to
:23:07. > :23:11.one another we can look negotiate those and remain the closest allies
:23:12. > :23:16.and friends. At the end of the day Canada and the US will always remain
:23:17. > :23:23.each other's most essential partner. Today's conversations have served to
:23:24. > :23:29.reinforce how important that is for Canadians and Americans. As we know,
:23:30. > :23:33.35 US states list Canada as their largest export market and our
:23:34. > :23:40.economies benefit from the over $2 billion in two-way trade that takes
:23:41. > :23:47.place every single day. Millions of good middle-class jobs on both sides
:23:48. > :23:51.of the border depend on this crucial partnership. Maintaining strong
:23:52. > :23:57.economic ties is vital to our mutual success and we will continue to work
:23:58. > :24:01.closely in coming years so that Canadian and American families can
:24:02. > :24:15.get ahead. He speaks French
:24:16. > :24:20.Our economies benefit from the over $2 billion that take place every

:24:37. > :24:41.coming years so that Canadian and American families can get ahead.
:24:42. > :24:46.I would like to highlight a few specifics that President Trump and I

:25:17. > :25:21.we know investing in infrastructure is a great way to create the kind of
:25:22. > :25:25.economic growth that our countries desperately need. In that vein, we
:25:26. > :25:29.know that ensuring equal opportunities for women in the
:25:30. > :25:34.workforce is essential for growing the economy and maintaining American
:25:35. > :25:40.and Canadian competitiveness on the world stage. As such, the president

:27:38. > :27:49.working with President Trump income coming years to nurture and build on
:27:50. > :28:02.this relationship. Merci beaucoup. We will take a couple of questions.
:28:03. > :28:09.Report are -- REPORTER:. You spoke about the need to build
:28:10. > :28:12.bridges, or though you have philosophical differences. How do
:28:13. > :28:19.you see this relationship playing out and are there any specific areas
:28:20. > :28:23.on which you decided to perhaps altar and amend your stances on
:28:24. > :28:30.issues like terrorism and administration? Prime Minister
:28:31. > :28:36.Trudeau, how do you see this relationship compared to that under
:28:37. > :28:43.the Obama administration? We just began discussions, we are going to
:28:44. > :28:49.have a great relationship with Canada, we have some great ideas on
:28:50. > :28:56.immigration, strong and tough ideas on the tremendous problem we have
:28:57. > :29:01.with terrorism, and when we put them together we have a group of very
:29:02. > :29:05.talented people and we will see obvious results. We are also doing
:29:06. > :29:11.some cross-border things that will make it a lot easier to trade and a
:29:12. > :29:14.lot faster for trade. Through technology we have some really great
:29:15. > :29:21.ideas and they will be implemented fairly quickly. One of the things we
:29:22. > :29:26.spoke about was the fact that security and immigration need to
:29:27. > :29:34.work well together and certainly Canada has emphasised security, as
:29:35. > :29:38.we look towards improving our immigration system and remaining
:29:39. > :29:44.true to our values, and we had a strong and fruitful discussion on
:29:45. > :29:50.exactly that. There is plenty we can draw from each other on in terms of
:29:51. > :29:57.how to move towards a common goal, to create free and open societies
:29:58. > :30:02.that keep our citizens safe, and that is something we have a lot in
:30:03. > :30:09.common on. REPORTER: Mr President, Mr Prime
:30:10. > :30:14.Minister, and Mr Prime Minister can you answer in English and French?
:30:15. > :30:20.Bit of a follow on from my American colleague's question will stop
:30:21. > :30:30.President Trump, you seemed to suggest that Syrian refugees were a
:30:31. > :30:31.kind of Trojan horse. Can you confirm that the northern border is
:30:32. > :30:39.secure? Through the incredible efforts
:30:40. > :30:47.already I see it happening of secretary Kelly. We have really done
:30:48. > :30:53.a great job. We are actually taking people that are criminals, hardened
:30:54. > :30:59.criminals in some cases, with a tremendous track record of abuse and
:31:00. > :31:05.problems, and we are getting them out. That's what I said we would do.
:31:06. > :31:08.I'm just doing what I said we would do when we won by a large electoral
:31:09. > :31:13.college vote. I knew that was going college vote. I knew that was going
:31:14. > :31:20.to happen, I knew this is what people were wanting. That wasn't the
:31:21. > :31:23.anything but we did so well, that anything but we did so well, that
:31:24. > :31:28.was something that was very important. I said we would get the
:31:29. > :31:33.criminals out, the drug lords, the gang members. General Kelly is doing
:31:34. > :31:40.a fantastic job. I said at the beginning we are going to get the
:31:41. > :31:44.bad ones. The really bad ones. We are getting them out and that's
:31:45. > :31:48.exactly what we are doing. I think in the end everyone will be
:31:49. > :31:54.extremely happy, and I will tell you right now. A lot of people are very,
:31:55. > :31:59.very happy right now. Canada has always understood that keeping
:32:00. > :32:02.Canadians safe is one of the fundamental responsibilities of any
:32:03. > :32:06.government, that is certainly something we are focused on. At the
:32:07. > :32:12.same time we continue to pursue our policies of openness towards
:32:13. > :32:15.immigration and refugees, without compromising security. Part of the
:32:16. > :32:21.reason we have been successful in doing that over the past year,
:32:22. > :32:25.welcoming close to 40,000 Syrian refugees, is because we have been
:32:26. > :32:31.coordinating with our allies, the United States and around the world,
:32:32. > :32:34.to demonstrate that security comes very seriously to us. That's
:32:35. > :32:44.with. TRANSLATION: It is clear that with. TRANSLATION: It is clear that
:32:45. > :32:49.if you want to have a healthy and safe society, you have to make sure
:32:50. > :32:57.that you maintain, that you focus on security. And we have welcome to
:32:58. > :33:02.refugees from Syria, we have been successful and always taken our
:33:03. > :33:06.responsibility towards security very seriously. And our allies, including
:33:07. > :33:14.the United States, understand this focus very well and they have done
:33:15. > :33:17.so since the beginning. President Trump, now you been in office and
:33:18. > :33:23.received intelligence briefings spend nearly one month, what do you
:33:24. > :33:26.see as the most important national security matters facing us. Prime
:33:27. > :33:31.Minister Trudeau, you made clear that Canada has an open door policy
:33:32. > :33:36.for Syrian refugees. Do you believe President Trump's moratoria on
:33:37. > :33:41.immigration has merit on national security grounds? Many problems.
:33:42. > :33:48.When I was campaigning, I said it's When I was campaigning, I said it's
:33:49. > :33:52.not a good situation. Now that I see it, including with our intelligence
:33:53. > :33:56.briefings, we have problems, a lot of people have no idea how serious
:33:57. > :34:02.they are. Not only internationally, but when you come right here.
:34:03. > :34:09.Obviously North Korea is a big, big problem and we will deal with that
:34:10. > :34:13.very strongly. We have problems all over the Middle East, we have
:34:14. > :34:22.problems just about every corner of the globe, no matter where you look.
:34:23. > :34:25.I had a great meeting this weekend with Prime Minister Abe of Japan. We
:34:26. > :34:33.got to know each other very well. An extended weekend. We were with each
:34:34. > :34:38.other for long periods of time. On the home front, we have to create
:34:39. > :34:43.borders, we have to let people that can love our country in. I want to
:34:44. > :34:47.do that. We want to have a big, beautiful open door, we want people
:34:48. > :34:51.to come into our country. But we cannot let the wrong people in. I
:34:52. > :34:58.will not allow that to happen during this administration. Citizens of our
:34:59. > :35:06.country want that, and that's their attitude, I will tell you. We are
:35:07. > :35:10.getting such praise for our stance, and its stance of common sense.
:35:11. > :35:15.Maybe a certain toughness but it's more than toughness, it's a stance
:35:16. > :35:20.of common sense. We are going to it vigorously, and we don't want to
:35:21. > :35:24.have our country have the kinds of problems that you are witnessing
:35:25. > :35:29.taking place not only here but all over the world. We won't stand for
:35:30. > :35:32.it, we won't put up with it. We aren't going to let it happen. We
:35:33. > :35:38.are going to give ourselves every bit of chance,
:35:39. > :35:46.so that things go well for the United States. Canada and the United
:35:47. > :35:51.time. Canadians and Americans have time. Canadians and Americans have
:35:52. > :35:57.stood together, worked together at home and around the world. We fought
:35:58. > :36:03.and died together on battlefields in World War I and World War II, in
:36:04. > :36:07.Korea, in Afghanistan. But there have been times where we have
:36:08. > :36:13.differed in our approaches. That's always been done firmly and
:36:14. > :36:21.Canadians expect is for me to come Canadians expect is for me to come
:36:22. > :36:29.down and lecture another country on how they choose to govern
:36:30. > :36:34.themselves. My role, my responsibility is to continue to
:36:35. > :36:35.govern in such a way that reflects Canadians' approach and be a
:36:36. > :36:51.positive example in the world. Mr President, I will ask my question
:36:52. > :36:59.in French first and then for you a la skit again in English. -- I'll
:37:00. > :37:05.ask it again in England. TRANSLATION: Mr Prime Minister, you
:37:06. > :37:11.said Canadian workers are concerned for their businesses and for their
:37:12. > :37:15.work and jobs, concerning the renegotiation of Nafta. So, what
:37:16. > :37:20.government that we will keep our government that we will keep our
:37:21. > :37:28.jobs and businesses in the jobs and businesses in the
:37:29. > :37:34.renegotiation of Nafta? In the last three months you have denounced
:37:35. > :37:37.Nafta. You have talked over and over about the Mexican portion of the
:37:38. > :37:48.agreement, very little about the Canadian one. My question is is
:37:49. > :37:53.Canada a fair Trader? And when you talk about changes to Nafta,
:37:54. > :38:01.concerning Canada, are you talking about big changes or small changes?
:38:02. > :38:06.Thank you. TRANSLATION: Thank you. It is a real concern for many
:38:07. > :38:14.Canadians, because we know that our economy is very dependent on our
:38:15. > :38:18.relationship with the United States. Goods and services to cross the
:38:19. > :38:27.border each way. Every single day. And this means a lot, millions of
:38:28. > :38:32.jobs or Canadians, and good jobs for Canadians. So we are always focusing
:38:33. > :38:39.on these jobs, but there are also good jobs, millions of jobs in the
:38:40. > :38:43.United States that depend on those relationships between our two
:38:44. > :38:49.countries. So when we sit down, as we did today, and as our teams will
:38:50. > :38:54.be doing in the weeks and months to come, we will be talking about how
:38:55. > :38:59.we can continue to create good jobs for our citizens on both sides of
:39:00. > :39:07.the border. And doing this exercise, we continue to understand that we
:39:08. > :39:13.have to allow this free flow of goods and services, and we have to
:39:14. > :39:17.be aware of the integration of our countries, which is extremely
:39:18. > :39:18.positive for both our countries. This is the focus we will have in
:39:19. > :39:24.the coming weeks and months to come. the coming weeks and months to come.
:39:25. > :39:28.We are aware of the fact that much of our economy depends on good
:39:29. > :39:33.working relationships with the United States, good integration with
:39:34. > :39:40.the American economy, and the fact is, millions of good jobs on both
:39:41. > :39:43.sides of the border depend on the smooth and easy flow of goods and
:39:44. > :39:49.services and people, back and forth across our border. And both
:39:50. > :39:54.commitments to support the middle commitments to support the middle
:39:55. > :40:02.class, to work hard for people who need a real shot at success. We know
:40:03. > :40:06.that by working together, by ensuring the continued effective
:40:07. > :40:09.integration of our two economies, we are going to be creating greater
:40:10. > :40:16.opportunities for middle-class Canadians and Americans, now and
:40:17. > :40:19.well into the future. I agree with that 100%. We have a very
:40:20. > :40:24.outstanding trade relationship with Canada. Will be tweaking it, we'll
:40:25. > :40:31.be doing certain things that will benefit both of our countries. It's
:40:32. > :40:35.a much less severe situation that is taken place on the southern border.
:40:36. > :40:40.For many years the transaction wasn't fair to the United States. It
:40:41. > :40:44.is an extremely unfair transaction. We are going to work with Mexico and
:40:45. > :40:50.make it a fair deal for both parties. I think we are going to get
:40:51. > :40:53.along very well with Mexico. They understand and we understand, you
:40:54. > :40:56.probably noticed Ford is making billions of dollars of new
:40:57. > :41:02.investments in this country. You saw Intel announce that because of what
:41:03. > :41:04.I'm doing in terms of regulation, lowering taxes, they are coming in
:41:05. > :41:17.with billions and billions of dollars of investment and thousands
:41:18. > :41:22.and thousands of John -- of jobs. We have so many people that want to
:41:23. > :41:26.come into the United States, it's very exciting. I think it's going to
:41:27. > :41:29.be a very exciting period of time for the United States, and for the
:41:30. > :41:34.workers of the United States. Because they had been the forgotten
:41:35. > :41:38.men and women. They aren't going to be forgotten any more, believe me. I
:41:39. > :41:43.relationship with Canada is outstanding and we are going to work
:41:44. > :41:49.together to make it even better. As far as the southern border is
:41:50. > :41:53.concerned, we are going to get that worked out. We are going to make it
:41:54. > :41:58.so that everybody is happy. It's very important to me. Thank you
:41:59. > :42:05.ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. President Donald Trump and
:42:06. > :42:09.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holding their press conference,
:42:10. > :42:12.speaking for almost half an hour, making statements of commitment,
:42:13. > :42:17.very warm statements of how their two countries have fought together
:42:18. > :42:26.in the past. Donald Trump said the US is deeply grateful to Canada's
:42:27. > :42:29.counterterror efforts, they talked about jobs, security, Justin Trudeau
:42:30. > :42:34.saying they might not always agree but they will do so respectfully and
:42:35. > :42:39.referred to America as Canada's most essential partner. I'm not sure
:42:40. > :42:44.Brits would like that particularly but I think the Canadians were very
:42:45. > :42:48.happy with that. We are speaking to a former adviser to Justin Trudeau.
:42:49. > :42:53.While they spoke warmly about each other, as you suggested, and they
:42:54. > :42:58.talked about the need to get along, you could also see the difference
:42:59. > :43:02.between these two men. There is Justin Trudeau talking about
:43:03. > :43:05.openness and integration, both on and economic front and allowing
:43:06. > :43:09.refugees. Talking about Canadian values of openness and Donald Trump
:43:10. > :43:14.taking the occasion to talk about how he is getting rid of people who
:43:15. > :43:17.are in the country illegally, and stressing the need to secure
:43:18. > :43:21.American borders and keep people out to. Yes. The narratives were quite
:43:22. > :43:25.different. I thought it was fascinating. To me what was just as
:43:26. > :43:29.interesting was how both men managed interesting was how both men managed
:43:30. > :43:33.that difference. They were both invited several times to criticise
:43:34. > :43:38.each other's approach, they both declined. I think that the people
:43:39. > :43:43.around, Justin Trudeau and most Canadians will be very pleased with
:43:44. > :43:48.his response, which was a very pragmatic one. Essentially saying,
:43:49. > :43:51.listen, we have a different approach, I'm not here to lecture
:43:52. > :43:55.you but we are going to continue our approach. It is an approach of
:43:56. > :44:02.openness. As you said this reflects the way they want Canadians to
:44:03. > :44:06.proceed. It couldn't have been a more interesting exchange. Justin
:44:07. > :44:09.Trudeau hinted he was concerned about the renegotiation of Nafta but
:44:10. > :44:13.the President made it clear that for him the situation on the southern
:44:14. > :44:16.border was different to what we've already described in the programme,
:44:17. > :44:23.the situation across the northern border. This confirms what the
:44:24. > :44:29.indications have been now for quite awhile. Donald Trump's concerns with
:44:30. > :44:34.Nafta are primarily Mexico. He did mention there needed to be tweaks in
:44:35. > :44:38.the Canada- US economic relationship. It'll be interesting
:44:39. > :44:44.to find out more about what that means. Overall the message was
:44:45. > :44:47.extremely positive Canada. He talked about increasing our commercial
:44:48. > :44:51.relationship, doing things that would benefit both Canadian and
:44:52. > :44:57.American citizens, which is an interesting variant from the America
:44:58. > :45:01.first narratives. I also think if I may add, this is actually good news
:45:02. > :45:06.for all of America's allies. What we've seen our two positive,
:45:07. > :45:12.responsible constructive meetings, back to back with Prime Minister Abe
:45:13. > :45:15.and Prime Minister Trudeau, having seen very different kinds of
:45:16. > :45:24.interactions between the President and the Prime Minister of Australia
:45:25. > :45:30.and the President of Mexico. To good meetings may be a pattern, I think
:45:31. > :45:35.we can hope that. -- good meetings. It shows there is a very different
:45:36. > :45:42.attitude in government are what we heard on the campaign trail. Thank
:45:43. > :45:45.you for being with us. Let's talk about that southern border because
:45:46. > :45:49.among a number of executive orders the President has signed that our
:45:50. > :45:53.two that relate to the US-Mexico border. One gives the green light to
:45:54. > :45:58.begin work on the wall, the other increases the size of the border
:45:59. > :46:02.patrol force, as well as the number of immigration enforcement officers
:46:03. > :46:05.who carry out the deportations. The third of the frontier already has
:46:06. > :46:09.some sort of barrier and the nearly a decade people who live in the
:46:10. > :46:15.towns that straddle the Mexican-American border have had to
:46:16. > :46:24.adapt to that. We report from the border town of El Paso which lies on
:46:25. > :46:29.the American side, and Ciudad Juarez on the Mexican side. 2:30am. This
:46:30. > :46:33.man is about to cross into the United States. For many on the
:46:34. > :46:36.border it's a way of life. We are protecting his identity because the
:46:37. > :46:42.American company he works for doesn't allow him to speak. This is
:46:43. > :46:49.the kind of journey many people in Ciudad Juarez make to go and work in
:46:50. > :47:00.El Paso. He's Mexican, he is building the wall, the wall that is
:47:01. > :47:04.already there. For my job it's just to make of all this time. His family
:47:05. > :47:12.and friends do not see it as a problem either. They joke with me
:47:13. > :47:19.and say leave it open for them to cross.
:47:20. > :47:21.This is where Luis is working on a two kilometre
:47:22. > :47:43.He believes the US needs people like him.
:47:44. > :47:45.Standing so close to it, it's obviously a very imposing structure.
:47:46. > :47:48.They used to be a small offence here but it is now being replaced
:47:49. > :47:54.The closer you get to the fence the more you wonder how the wall
:47:55. > :47:56.president Trump wants to build will serve its purposes and how it
:47:57. > :48:02.will affect the lives and businesses of people in border towns.
:48:03. > :48:07.This man is from Ciudad Juarez and owns a small restaurant in El Paso.
:48:08. > :48:15.Since Trump was arrested the Mexican currency,
:48:16. > :48:23.the peso, has tumbled, and his business has suffered.
:48:24. > :48:39.There's been a fence here for almost a decade,
:48:40. > :48:42.and while Ciudad Juarez became one of the most violent places
:48:43. > :48:46.in the world El Paso is amongst the safest cities in the US.
:48:47. > :48:53.The barrier runs through this woman's backyard.

:50:39. > :50:42.representing me this weekend on various Sunday morning shows. Great
:50:43. > :50:46.job. We know Donald Trump has confidence in Stephen Miller but
:50:47. > :50:50.does he still have trust in MIchael Flynn? The general is under mounting

:51:11. > :51:13.reports that General Glenn had conversations with the Russians? I
:51:14. > :51:21.haven't seen it. What report is that? There is a report to talk to
:51:22. > :51:26.the Ambassador of Russia before you were inaugurated. I haven't seen
:51:27. > :51:30.that. I'll look at that. How can he continue to serve as national

:51:36. > :51:38.question as accurate. I don't have any information to add anything to

:51:57. > :52:00.act, a well-known statute. That's not the problem though, forget about
:52:01. > :52:05.the Logan act. The problem is the vice President went out on national
:52:06. > :52:09.TV and said that Flynn never discussed those sanctions with the
:52:10. > :52:12.Russian ambassador. Very bad position for the vice President to
:52:13. > :52:18.be in. Not great for general Flynn to be in. I'll be back for Facebook
