Believe that the discussions we hunt together make it possible to open a way to pave the way for new agreement an agreement on which we will work and beyond all european home to his we would like to involve the regional powers. And of course russia and turkey. It is also within this framework as a matter of fact that together together in the longer and we can find a solution to the syrian situation in syria we are all. Together and gates within the International Community coalition against isis and the terrorists and we will continue to watch till the end within this very work until victory that being said. In the long run we need to win peace and make sure that syria does not fall into any in germany. In the region the throughout effect the approach which is. Great means none we can work. And work on all of the situation the whole of the situation in the region. And with these efforts. To contain iran in the region well continue to work to that effect within the u. N. Security council to make sure that humanitarian law the prediction of chemical weapons awfully complied with and well continue to shoulder our responsibilities to that effect but we will also work with all parties in building a sustainable political solution an inclusive one that will prevent any germany and once again will prevent feeding terrorism in the future. We also talked about climate and here also we know where we stand france will continue to work on major pieces including the Global Compact for the environment but i think i can say that our economy. And our business is all researchers can continue to work on concrete solutions in the field and we are both touched. Now on trade me like you mentioned it and i hear what you said when you call upon. A fair and equitable trade when we look come to International Trade today with some common challenges there was a capacity isnt a number of sectors which youre well known Work Together to make sure that this does not establish all markets or brings about so many and it doesnt but i believe we can say that we have both the task to make sure that between our eyes there is compliance with International Trade law at least france is attached we have own. Preferences and there are situations we can probably intra live. But i believe that both you and i know he also touched. Want to make sure that all business is companies can operate. Stable and stable framework mr president. Mention these few points which your comment is well and let me just say once again the discussions weve had today the ones we will have tomorrow off but not on the ball this trend overall trickle bones. Bill so my sincere friendship which i believe we share so thank you once again mr president for the extremely warm welcome for these three days with you and thank you as well for being here to. Meet the challenges which will be important for the United States of america for france and for europe and important for all peoples thank you. Thank you. I like him a lot. I want to thank. I want to thank our Vice President and karen for being here thank you very much appreciated. You know we had a wonderful Conference Today and i think especially the one on one of the oval office we covered a lot of territory having to do with trade having to do with iran and various other subjects so because a lot of good things are going to come out of our meeting and i appreciate your being here and well take a couple of questions how about jeff mason for reuters. Thank you mr president if either after discussions today with president across what is your thinking about a timeline for bringing u. S. Troops out of syria and one other topic you mentioned today that you thought the leader of north korea has behaved openly and honorably. This is someone who many people have accused of starting his people killing family members what does he mean when you call him that well we will start with your second part of the question and i hope that we will be able to deliver a open and honorable fashion with north korea i started a process and when i did everybody thought i was doing it absolutely wrong but in the meantime for twenty five years people have been dealing and Nothing Happened and a lot happening right now i can tell you that jeff a lot is happening and i think its going to be very positive and i hope its going to be very positive for north korea and for south korea and japan and the rest of the world but i am starting at a level that frankly i shouldnt have had this should work out a long time ago this should have been worked out many years ago we would discuss it that we shouldnt be having this situation happen to the United States and the world this should have been resolved by other president s and by other leaders of other countries a long time ago with that being said i think were doing very well meetings are being set up and i want to see the nuclearization of north korea a lot of concessions have already been made we have made no concessions despite some of the media saying that ive made concessions i dont i havent even discussed the concessions other than the fact that meeting is a great thing and im sure that a lot of other people would have liked to have had the position were having i will say this we put the strongest sanctions on a country that we ever have put on any country by far and china president xi has been very strong in helping us to solve this problem and his case at the border is allowing very little to get through i think hes doing that for a number of reasons we have a very Good Relationship and also its very important terms of trade because i do play the trade card if you look at whats happening with trade and china has been fair for many many years. The United States and were going to solve that problem in fact were having secretary nugent and a couple of other folks heading over to bob letters are heading over to china at the request of china they came here you know last week and were having very substantive discussions on trade but i think it all plays to the border and the fact that they have been extremely strong on the border and very little has gotten through much does present a lot of people and i believe the trade will work out but i also think that china has never treated us with more respect then they have over the last short period of time that im president i have a very excellent as you know relationship with president xi and i think that relationship is very important as to whats happening with north korea so the end result is well see maybe good things will happen and maybe were all wasting a lot of time but hopefully it will be good for everybody concerned as far as serious concern and i would love to get out i love to bring our incredible workers back home theyve done a great job weve essentially. Just absolutely open literate isis in iraq and in syria and weve done a big favor to neighboring countries frankly but weve also done a favor for a country with that being said. Emmanuelle and myself have discussed the fact that we dont want to give iran open season to the mediterranean especially since we really control it to a large extent we really have controlled it weve set control on it so well see what happens but were going to be coming home relatively soon we finished at least almost our work with respect to isis in syria isis in iraq and we have done just that nobody has been able to do. But with that being said i do want to come home but i want to come home also with having accomplished what we have to accomplish so we are discussing syria as part of an overall deal when they made the a randian what they should have done is included syria when i say should have before giving them a rand one hundred fifty billion dollars and one point eight billion dollars in cash one point eight Million Dollars in cash if you think about this. Before giving this kind of tremendous money ok one hundred fifty billion and one point eight billion dollars in cash in barrels i hear it was taken out and in boxes it was taken out cash they should have made a deal that covered yemen that covered syria that covered other parts of the middle east where iraq is involved where iran is involved they didnt do that so we want to come home well be coming home but we want to have a very very strong we want to leave a strong and lasting footprint and that was a very big part of our discussion ok thank you follow up if i may sir on north korea you said you believe in complete denuclearization what does that mean exactly it means they get rid of the nukes were simple get rid of their nukes and nobody else would say be very easy for me to make a simple deal and claim victory i dont want to do that i want them to get rid of the nukes for president micro. The president referred earlier in your heating from a cabinet room to a potential deal between the two of you are and can you give us a sense of what that might be and are you confident that you will have assurances from president from that united or that the European Union will be excluded from tariffs on steel and aluminum. As for the second question is if the president didnt serve it i just want to hear on the trade issue to be very clear when you look. At the trade issues when our two countries balanced there is no balance relationship segment we are following and respecting the delete your rules because we are the one who contributed to the creation of the bill and we think its it makes sense to respect the rule you decided to create an. Engine on in life thats a good method and third because i do believe that we have a very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still an anemone im it doesnt come from europe and even from france and its good to Work Together with an ice and especially when you work so closely together and security issue like him iran and syria so im im confident about the future of the trade relationship i think its part of a broader picture were our interests little the lines for the iranian situation and i think i did in my introduction for me as a key piece of this new approach we want to adopt and its exactly what person from state we have nuclear on the show often we have nuclear on the longer we have ballastic activity we have written all prisons of iran we want to fix the situation for these four peoples syria is part of the force one. And what we have to work on. Obviously with iran and the different provinces in the regions of the five and allies is to find a fair deal well we can fix the overall situation this is the only way to preserve sovereignty in the region and to build peace on the very long run also why it will have to come back in the region because of you to revisit groups for sure and i say im very happy about the discussion we had together because we were very very near issues and very new Solutions Together and especially the fact that the Syrian Crisis in the syrian situation should be part of this broader picture and the fact that we are here and we ought to be in syria together is International Coalition against isis but tomorrow we will have to find the way to fix the situation from a political point of view not automatically from a Military Point of view which means to set up a series of agreements part of this big deal in order to be sure that syria at the mall will be a sovereign country with inclusiveness and free people in the situation to decide for the future this is very important and thats all get and i think we will have a great shot at doing a much bigger maybe deal maybe not there were going to find out but wolf will go fairly soon. With the president. Or the press. French press. A question from. France press on behalf of the french press as you above mr president you were saying that there was no plan b. That the. Iran deal was to be preserved no you were talking about a new deal with the brown why did you change your mind did you join the strong go approach suggested by President Trump is it because you could not convince him and in addition you think you know them who signed the agreement the deal will follow you. Why not
