The United States but by other countries. Its been very successful today and there is a great spirit, thank you very much everybody, thank you. Prime minister, this morning when you approach President Trump, did you apologize for him for the remarks last night at Buckingham Palace . If so, what was his response . We had a great meeting yesterday between me and the president. We talked about the kinds of things that really matter to canadians where its how weve been moving forward on nato and whether the progress being made in nafta is going to continue and were confident and will. We talked about the challenges of china and we talk about a few things. Last night i, made a reference to the fact that there was an unscheduled press conference before my meeting with President Trump. I was happy to take part of it but it was certainly notable and i had a number of conversations with the president over the course of this day and yesterday. speaking french speaking french when you told president macron and Prime Minister johnson that you saw trumps team of advisers jaws drop, what were you referring to . We were all surprised. I think pleased to learn that the next g7 will be at camp david. Its an unscheduled announcement and i think everyones team and every different leader every now and then as their jaws drop and an unscheduled surprise for example. Prime minister, canadian press, what did you see from canada when talking about President Trump is back that way . We recognize that there are as we talk to g7 leaders an interest of where the next g7 meeting is going to be. I was pleased to share the story of how were we continued to step up in a leadership role and the first leaders in the first two years of the nato Trading Mission in iraq and leading the enhanced battle group and whether its engaged in broad range of nato operations into initiatives up in around the world. Canada has a history of stepping up around nato and we will continue to in the reflection of increased investments were making and that was really important and glad to have that conversation with the president. As a followup, you announced that canada is going to contribute six fighter air crafts. This is going to natos 4 30 plan . Will your government commit to putting more operations on funding to allow for that mission to go forward . I had a conversation with secretary still thunberg a few days ago and highlighted the desire to see more countries step up on the four thirties and the Readiness Initiative and we had already committed a aircraft and some other equipment to that initiative and will now be up in a four fighter jets and on top of our other commitments. We will make sure that we had the Operational Support theyre not we are ready for that. Michael from global national. We talked about showing that youre governments failed to sue bend over 74 billion dollars on the fence you came to power and thats money that youve been counting toward spending and im sure canadians will go out the door and the money that you promised them. One of the things they need to be setting the money properly on the armed forces. The processes had been significantly damaged by previous government and we got them into a much better place. We always know that were investing properly in our armed forces and a very ambitious plan and we are going to ensure that the money flows in our military commitments. On overall spending, President Trump said youre happy called you out on the lack of the 2 commitment. We also note the u. S. Took the step of sending an official reprimand of defense spending in october. Why does the government still have no plan of that 2 . We increased our defend spending by 70 since we took office and announced there was a secure strong engage plan over this ten years. It is going to ensure that the men and women in the forces have the equipment and the ability to do the work that canadians expect of them and people around the world expect. We consistently stepped up and consistently contributing and increasing the investments that we want to do
