The biggest threat in the world right now is north korea and the fact that at some point these Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles are going to work. We have 40,000 troops in south korea. Imagine if there were 40,000 chinese troops in central america.

The g20. It goes by fast. Before i take your questions, let me put into context what we have done over the course of all of these g20 meetings.
