Full Speeches from Donald Trump - Anthony Albaneese - Pter Dutton

of those combined. I hope you have a good podcast for this kind of information because we're dealing with a lot of things between Australia and the United States, not to mention Canada if you're hearing all of this kind of stuff. Anyways, while I start with President Donald Trump. Now, from what I hear for Donald Trump is that he is well announcings more to new terriffs, not just through Canada, not just through Australia, but mostly around the world for

that matter. But he'll bring out all the coverages through the Australian perspective, through the ABC News in full about the full details of what it means between triffs, not just again, not just in Canada the United States, but also in Australia. After that, I'm gonna give you a presentation of what Anthony Albany's the Prime Minister of Australia mentions about anything on terriffs and so forth, and then I'll bring in afterwards the UH information on what.

P L E s at gmail dot com. All right, without further ado, here is Donald Trump sweeping on the new Terrors Agreement enjoint.

going to make it wealthy, good, and wealthy. For decades, our country has been looted, pillage, raped, and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike. American steel workers, auto workers, farmers, and skilled craftsmen, we have a lot of them here with us today. They really suffered gravely. They watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our jobs. Foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories, and foreign scavengers have torn apart our once beautiful American dream.

We had an American dream that you don't hear so much about. You did four years ago and you are now, but you know't too often, and for many years and decades even you didn't hear too much about. Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than fifty years. But it is not going to happen anymore. It's not going to happen. In a few moments, I will sign a historic executive order instituting reciprocal tariffs on countries throughout the world. Reciprocal That means they do it

to us and we do it to them. Very simple. Can't get any simpler than that. This is one of the most important days, in my opinion, in American history. It's our declaration of economic independence. For years, hard working American citizens were forced to sit on the sidelines as other nations got rich and powerful, much of it at our expense. But now it's our turn to prosper and in so doing, use trillions and trillions of dollars to reduce our taxes and pay down our national debt. And

it'll all happen very quickly. With today's action, we are finally going to be able to make America great again, greater than ever before. Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base. We will probably open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers, and ultimately more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers. This will be indeed the Golden

Age of America. It's coming back. We're going to come back very strongly. We're pleased to be joined on this momentous occasion by Vice President JD vance At JD. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. Are you JD? That wasn't too hard to find. I was looking. You know. He likes to take a low key attitude and usually be said right in front. He's gaining a lot of confidence. Mike is there, and nearly my entire cabinet is here as well as Speaker. Mike Johnson has done an amazing job.

And with the great success we had last night in Florida, we have a majority of seven, and seven's like a lot when we had it at one. You've done a fantastic job, and many of the members of the House and Senator with us. Senators, Congressman, thank you all for being with us. We appreciate it. For decades, the United States slashed our trade barriers and other countries while those nations placed massive tariffs on our products and created outrageous

non monetary barriers to decimate our industries. And in many cases, the non monetary barriers were worse than the monetary ones. They manipulated their currencies, subsidized their exports, stole our intellectual property, imposed exorbitant vat taxes to disadvantage our products, adopted unfair rules and technical standards, and created filthy pollution havens. They were absolutely filthy, but they always came to us and

they said, we're violating. We should pay for it. It's all detailed in a very big report by the US Trade Representative on foreign trade barriers. And I'll just hold it up for you. It's available, and you don't have to pay too much. As I understand it, you'll pay nothing. It's a lot of work, a lot of work for something actually, because it's a special it's a special book. It's very frankly, it's very upsetting when you read it, when you see what people have been doing to us

for thirty years. This all happened with no response from the United States of America, none whatsoever. But those days are over. Let me offer just a few examples of the vicious attacks workers have faced for so many years. The United States charges other countries only a two point four tariff on motorcycles. Meanwhile, Thailand and others are charging much higher prices like sixty percent. India charges seventy percent, Vietnam charges seventy five percent, and others are even higher

than that. Likewise, until today, the United States has for decades charged a two point five tariff. Think of that two point five percent on foreign made automobiles. The European Union charges US more than ten percent tariffs, and they have twenty percent vats much much higher. India charges seventy percent, and perhaps worst of all, of the non monetary restrictions imposed by South Korea, in Japan and very many other nations.

As a result of these colossal trade barriers, eighty one percent of the cars in South Carea are made in South Korea. Ninety four percent of the cars in Japan are made in Japan. Toyota sells one million foreign made automobiles into the United States, and General Motor sells almost none. Ford sells very little. None of our companies are allowed to go into countries. And I say that friend and foe, and in many cases the friend is worse than the

foe in terms of trade. But such horrendous imbalances have devastated our industrial base and put our national security at risk. I don't blame these other countries at all for this calamity. I blame former presidents and past leaders who weren't doing their job. They let it happen, and they let it happen to an extent that nobody can even believe. That's why, effective at midnight, we will impose the twenty five percent tariff on all foreign made automobiles. Thank you, Brian. I'd

like to have you come up here for a second. Okay, I just see him saying he's been a fan of ours, and he understands this business a lot better than the economists, a lot better than anybody. Brian, say a few words, please, would you? Thank you, thank you. It's great honor to have you. Thanks, thank you, mister president.

Donald Trump's policies on tariffs one hundred percent. So, mister President, we can't thank you enough. And in six months or a year, we're gonna begin to see the benefits. I can't wait to see what's happening three or four years down the road. Thank you, mister President.

Nobody's ever seen anything like that. With today's actions, we're also standing up for our great farmers and ranchers who are brutalized by nations all over the world. Brutalized. Canada, by the way, imposes a two hundred and fifty to three hundred percent tariff on many of our dairy products. They do the first, the first can of milk, they do the first little carton of milk at at very low price, but after that it gets bad and then it gets up to two hundred and seventy five three

hundred percent. So when they're figuring what's Canada charging, they say, oh, about two percent three percent. But take a look at what happens down the road when you look a little bit, it's not a pretty picture. And we don't like it, and it's not fair. It's not fair to our farmers, it's not fair to our country. And with countries like Canada, you know, we subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business. In the case

of Mexico, it's three hundred billion dollars a year. In the case of Canada, it's close to two hundred billion dollars a year, and they say, why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? I mean, at what point do we say you got to work for yourselves? And you got to This is why we have the big def since, this is why we have that amount of debt that's been placed on our heads over the last number of years, and we're really not taking it anymore.

Through non tariff barriers. The European Union bands imports of most American poultry. You understand, they say, we want to send you our cars, we want to send you everything, but we're not going to take anything that you have. Australia bands and they're wonderful people and wonderful everything, but they ban American beef. Yet we imported three billion dollars of Australian beef from them just last year alone. They won't take any of our beef. They don't want it

because they don't want it to affect their farmers. And you know what, I don't blame them, but we're doing the same thing right now, starting about midnight tonight, I would say, and China charges American rice farmers and over quota. It's called a tariff raid of sixty five percent. South Korea charges fifty They charged different from fifty percent to five hundred and thirteen percent. In Japan, our friend charges a seven hundred percent, but that's because they don't want

us selling rice another thing. Who can blame them, Madam Secretary Agriculture, Great job you did on eggs. By the way, the egg prices came down fifty percent. You got them down fifty percent once we got involved. They were going through the sky, the egg prices, they were going through the sky, and you did a fantastic job. Now we have lots of eggs and they're much cheaper, down about

fifty nine percent now, and they're going down further. We charged two point eight percent for so many things that other countries are charging two hundred percent, three hundred percent, then four hundred percent for If imposing tariffs and protective barriers made nations poor, then every country on Earth would be racing to eliminate these policies. In China would be the first online. They run a very strong country, but they're not first in line, and the American people are

paying a very big price. From seventeen eighty nine to nineteen thirteen, we were a tariff back nation in the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the eighteen eighties they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting. We were collecting so much money so fast, we didn't know what to do with it. Isn't that a nice problem to have? What do you think, Marco? Good problem?

Marco would love that problem. But we don't have that problem anymore. But we're not going to have it very much longer, I will tell you. But they collected so much money they actually formed a commission to determine what they were going to do with the money, who they

were going to give it to, and how much. Then in nineteen thirteen, for reasons unknown to mankind, they established the income tax so that citizens, rather than foreign countries, would start paying the money necessary to run our government. Then in nineteen twenty nine, it all came to a very abrupt end with a great depression, And it would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy.

It would have been a much different story. They tried to bring back tariffs to save our country but it was gone. It was gone. It was too late. Nothing could have been done. Took years and years to get out of that depression, far longer than even FDR had that office right over there for a long period of time. The ramp system, it's rather intricate, was built because of him, and every time you walk up, you think of him. And he did a great job in many ways. But

it lasted long beyond his terms, as you know. But it's not too late any longer. And we're going to start being smart, and we're going to start being very wealthy again. We're going to be wealthy as a country. Because they've taken so much of our wealth away from us. We're not going to let that happen. We truly can be very wealthy. We can be so much wealthier than any country, it's not even believable. But we're getting smart.

Nearly a century later, in the face of unrelenting economic warfare, the United States can no longer continue with a policy of unilateral economic surrender. We cannot pay the deficits of Canada and Mexico and so many other countries. We used to do it, we can't do it anymore. We take care of countries all over the world. We pay for their military, We pay for everything they have to pay. And then when you want to cut back a little bit, they get upset that you're not taking care of them

any longer. But we have to take care of our people, and we're going to take care of our people first. And I'm sorry to say that. And today we're standing up for the American worker, and we are finally putting America first. In sleepy Joe Biden's last year in office to the United States hemorrhaged one hundred thousand manufacturing jobs and the number was going through the roof at levels never seen before. And our trade deficit reached a record one

point two trillion dollars, which is unheard of. Since the beginning of NAFA, the worst trade deal ever made. It was a horror show. I was able to determine it. They all said, you'd never be able to get it out. We had to get approval from Congress to get it terminated. We had to live with that deal was the worst deal, worst trade deal ever made by far. But since the very beginning of NAFTA, our country lost ninety thousand factories. Think of what that is. Ninety thousand. Think about putting

a map up and putting text on it. You wouldn't have enough room. Ninety thousand, I said, is that possible? We had to check four different times, and it was actually somewhat higher than that. And five million manufacturing jobs were lost while racking up trade deficits of nineteen trillion dollars. That was the worst trade deal ever made. As a result of these gigantic losses, foreign nations now own twenty

six trillion dollars more of American assets than Americans. Think of this, than the Americans own of their own foreign assets or other foreign assets. The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick. We have a tremendous problem. We have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn't be able to do it. We import virtually all of our computers, phones, televisions, and electronics.

We used to dominate the field, and now we import it all from different countries. A single shipyard in China now produces more ships every year than all of the American shipyards combined. Think of that, and it was a business that we used to dominate. We used to dominate it totally. In short, chronic trade deficits are no longer merely an economic problem. They're a national emergence. See that

threatens our security and our very way of life. It's a very great threat to our country and for these reasons. Starting tomorrow, the United States will implement reciprocal tariffs on other nations. It's been a long time since we even thought of that. We used to think about it a lot. We didn't think about it for many decades, and you see what's happened for nations that treat us badly. We will calculate the combined rate of all their tariffs, non

monetary barriers, and other forms of cheating. And because we are being very kind, we're kind people, very kind. You're not so kind when you get ripped off with your salaries. My autoworker friends and my teamster friends, and all of the unions that typically voted Democrat, they're not voting Democrat anymore because the worker, whether union or non worker, they're for the Republicans. Now, that's what happened. But we will charge them approximately half of what they are and have

been charging us. So the tariffs will be not a full reciprocal. I could have done that, yes, but it would have been tough for a lot of countries. We didn't want to do that. I'd like to see the chart. If you have it, could you bring it up, Howard? This is our great Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick. Thanks. So if you look at that China first row, China, sixty seven percent, that's tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers. So sixty seven percent. I

think you can, for the most part see it. Those with good eyes with bad eyes. We didn't want to bring the it's very windy out here. We didn't want to bring out the big charts because it had no chance of standing. Fortunately, we came armed with a little smaller chart. So sixty seven percent. So we're going to be charging a discounted reciprocal for thirty four percent. I think. In other words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less. So how can anybody be upset? They

will be because we never charge anybody anything. But now we're gonna charge European Union. They're very tough, very very tough traders. You know, you think of European Union, very friendly. They rip us off. It's so sad to see, it's so pathetic. Thirty nine percent. We're gonna charge them twenty percent, So we're charging them potentially have Vietnam, great negotiators, great people, they like me. I like them. The problem is they charge us ninety percent. We're gonna charge them forty six

percent tariff. Taiwan where they make they took all of our computer chips and semiconductors. We used to be the king, right, we were everything. We had all of it. Now we have almost none of it. Except the biggest company is coming in they're gonna have We're gonna end up with almost forty percent. Leez Elden's working to get their approvals and it's an amazing company, mister way of one of

the great companies of the world. Actually, they're coming in from Taiwan and they're got to build one of the biggest plants in the world, maybe the biggest for that. But sixty four percent, we're going to charge them thirty two percent. Japan very very tough, great people. And again I don't blame the people for doing it. It's I think they're very smart to do it. I blame the people that sat right in that oval office, right over there,

right behind the resolute desk. Whichever death they charge Japan forty six percent, they would charge us forty six percent, and much higher for certain items like cars, you know, little items like cars, forty six percent. We're charging them twenty four percent. India very very tough, very very tough. They Prime minister just left, and he's a great friend of mine. But I said, you're a friend of mine, but you're not treating us right. They charged us fifty

two percent. You have to understand, we charge them almost nothing for years and years and decades, and it was only seven years ago when I came in. We started with China, Georgia. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China in tariffs, and they understood. Honestly, Presidency understood. He said, look, I understand, and the other countries and they all understand. We're gonna have to go through a little tough love maybe, but they all understand they're ripping

us off, and they understood it. Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo was Shinzo Abbi. He was a fantastic man. He was unfortunately taken from US assassination. But I went to him and I said, Shinzo, we have to do something at trade is not fair. He said, I know that. I know that, and he was a great gentleman. He was a fantastic man, but he understood immediately what I was talking about. I said, Shinzo, we have to do something.

He said, I know that, and we've worked out a deal and it would have been a much better deal. But frankly, there were many years left on the deal that was made previous to my getting there, but it was it was something if you look at Switzerland sixty one percent to thirty one percent, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia. Who look at Cambodia ninety seven percent, we're going to bring it down to forty nine. They made a fortune with the United States of America, United Kingdom ten percent, and

we'll go ten percent. So we'll do the same thing. South Africa, oh, sixty percent, thirty percent. And they've got some bad things going on in South Africa. You know, we're paying them billions of dollars that we cut the funding because a lot of bad things are happening in South Africa. The fake news are to be looking at it. They don't want to report it. Brazil ten percent, ten percent, Bangladesh is seventy four percent, so you see what's going on.

Pakistan fifty eight percent, Sri Lanka eighty eight percent. So what we're doing is we're taking not the full. We could take the full eighty eight percent. Thanks a lot. He's doing a very good job. How's he doing? All right? I think you better take it with you. It's not gonna last very long. He's gonna put it. That's gonna follow you down with the wind. I brought a hat just in case he got too windy. But here would anybody like a hat I'm giving I'm not giving you

to a cabinet. I'm giving it to the auto workers. Thank you, fellas. Yeah, that's it, that's it. They deserve it more than our cabinet. Our cabinet has plenty of hats. But you see the numbers. The numbers are so disproportionate, they're so unfair. At the same time, we will establish a minimum baseline tariff of ten percent you notice that on the chart, and that'll be on other countries to

help rebuild our economy and to prevent cheating. So we're gonna have a minimum of cheating, and we're going to be very severe on the people that at the gate that watched the tariffs and watch the product coming in, because there's been a lot of bad things happening at the gate, because the money is so enormous that you're talking about, there's never been probably anything like it in terms of the enormity, and there are a lot of bad things happen at the people that do the check in,

and they're looking at ten year jail sentences. If they do play, we're going to treat them so good. But if they cheat, the repercussions are going to be extremely strong. Foreign nations will finally be asked to pay for the privilege of access to our market, the biggest market in the world, where right now the biggest market in the world. We had a great country four years ago in terms of the economics. We were doubling up on China. We were doing so well, nobody was going to catch us.

But so much of it slipped away over the last four years under Biden. I campaigned on this policy throughout last year and today. That promise was made, and it was also a promise, as you know, that was kept promises made, promises kept to any company that objects to our common sense reciprocal tariffs again reciprocal, back and forth, back and forth, and were I call this kind reciprocal. This is not full reciprocal. This is kind reciprocal. But what we do is we cut it in half. We

charge them. My answer is very simple. If they complain, if you want you're tariff right to be zero, then you build your product right here in America, because there is no tariff if you build your plant, your product in America. And we've seen companies coming in like we've

never seen before. Likewise, to all of the foreign presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens, ambassadors, and everyone else who will soon be calling to ask for exemptions from these tariffs, I say, terminate your own tariffs, drop your barriers, don't manipulate your currencies. They manipulate their currencies like nobody can even believe, which is a bad, bad thing and very devastating to us, and start buying tens of billions of

dollars of American goods. Tariffs give our country protection against those that would do US economic harm. And many people were looking to do US economic arm. Maybe not so obviously, but they were doing tremendous economic harm. But even more importantly, they will give us growth. These tariffs are going to give us growth like you haven't seen before, and it'll be something very special to watch. I am so looking forward to Brian. It's going to happen even faster than

you said. You know, you might, you might say, but it's already started. It's already started. Work's already begun on plants all around the country. And you see that as before. These are big rich companies. We have sixty one billion dollars started on a big plant going up. It's going to be announced over the next two days. And they already started work. Many of these biggest, the biggest companies in the world, they've committed to build, the build to build.

We're going to build, build, build, sir, And they came here to see me, and they came wanted to know if they could have a press conference. They do as many as I can. I'm pretty busy trying to stop Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East. We got to stop that. We're going to stop the hooties which were making tremendous They like shooting ships down and out of the water, seeking chips. They get a kick out of it. But they're not getting such a kick out of it now,

are they, mister secretary. They're not getting such a kick out of that now. But here are just a short list of some of the companies that have already announced and committed to investment. And this is a company that built its factories and its plants in China. Apple is going to spend five hundred billion dollars. They never spent money like that here. They're going to will their plants here. Soft Bank, Open Ai, and Oracle great companies are investing

five hundred billion dollars almost immediately. Navidia, a hot company, is investing hundreds of billions of dollars. They just announced TSMC, the biggest, most important company in the world of chips from Taiwan with no investment from US, is investing two hundred billion. And they said the reason was number one, the election of November fifth, and number two the tariffs. They don't want to pay the tariffs. And the way they're not paying it is to build their plan here.

So we're going to go from almost no percentage. We used to have one hundred percent of the chip market. Now it's all in Taiwan. Almost all of it's in Taiwan, a couple of other countries, but mostly in Taiwan. And think of it, we had one hundred percent. We lost it because of people in that office that didn't do their job. They allowed it to be stolen from us.

Johnson and Johnson, Great Company, fifty five billion dollar, ELI Lilly twenty seven billion, META is investing five hundred billion dollars, while the MAC is investing twenty billion, CMA, CGM twenty billion dollars. And then you have Merk and Clariers, Stallanthis General Motors, Gerospace, Honda and Nissan, Hyundai are all putting in billions and billions of dollars and they're committed one hundred percent. So and we have never had We've never had.

And this is after two and a half months. This is not this is after just a short This all took place as soon as we came out with what everybody wanted to do. You know, I watched the gentleman today on televisions to work with Leia Kokova, respected automobile person, and he said, you know, because they're asking people, they try and get as many negative people as they can, but they can't find them too much. It's pretty hard to find in terms of what we're doing, especially when

they see all this investment. They said, So tell me, what do you think of what Trump is doing from the automobile standpoint? He said, I can't believe it. Somebody is finally he's an older guy, real pro, really top guy with Leiakoki said, I never thought i'd see the day when this would happen, where somebody had the courage to go and do what has to be done. This is transforming our nation. Our entire nation is going to be transformed, not only with the cars, but on every

single other item that's built. We're going to become an industrial powerhouse. And he said that so beautifully today. In fact, I'm going to find out. I'm going to get a tape and Bruce, I'm going to get that tape and I'm going to send it to you out in Long Island and you're going to play it for the people and all your union workers and your non union workers out there. You got a pretty even split, but we have so far it looks like we're going to have

about six trillion dollars of investments. And you wouldn't do that in years in this country over the last number of years, six trillion dollars, and that's going to be much higher by the end of the year. And think of what six trillion dollars is. You wouldn't have even a small percentage of that under this other system. We're going to be an entirely different country. And it's going to be fantastic for the workers, it's going to be

fantastic for everyone. There will never have been a transformation of a country like the transformation that's already happening in the United States of America. It's an incredible thing to watch, and it's incredible to meet with the top people, people that you read about, very wealthy people, or people that are great managers and executors and presidents of big public companies, and to watch the enthusiasm they have now that they

didn't have. They gave up on our country. They went to foreign countries and they built companies are pouring into our country at levels never seen before, with jobs and money to follow, and it's really beautiful. In the coming days, there will be complaints from the globalists and the outsources and interests, and the fake news always the fake news will always complain, but never forget. Every prediction our opponents made about trade for the last thirty years has been

proven totally wrong. They were wrong about NAFTA, they were wrong about China. They were wrong about the Transpecific Partnership, which would have been a disaster. If I didn't terminate it, If I didn't turn that, terminate that United Auto Workers, you would have had no jobs in this country. You would have had no jobs. I was all going to other countries in my first term. They said tariffs would crash the economy. Instead we built the greatest economy in

the history of the world. And again, I have great respect for presidency of China, great respect for China. But they were taking tremendous advantage of them of US, and I commend them for that. I say, hey, if you can get away with it, that's okay. But you know, they understand exactly what happening, and they probably most of them are saying it's about time they did something. But h and they're gonna fight, and they're gonna fight fair.

Everyone's gonna fight. You know. It's like I say to the leaders, look, you got to take care of your country, but we have to start taking care of our country. Now, we can't do what we've been doing for the last fifty years. From the day of my election. The stock market went up in my first term eighty eight percent, with NaSTA going up one hundred and fifty five percent, more than any president has ever had in any term in office by far. And I think we're going to

blow that away. And maybe the numbers won't show, but I think they're going to show much better than even those numbers. But what you're going to see is you're gonna see activity that empty, dead sites, factories that are falling down. Those factories will be knocked down, and they're gonna have brand new factories built in their place. And not only talking about renovating, they're talking about brand new, the best anywhere in the world, the biggest anywhere in

the world. Have a friend who builds car plants, and I said, I want to see the biggest and the best. He said, well, we have to go to Mexico. I said, now, I want to see it in the United States. He said, we're not building them. And then this is a year and a half ago, during the campaign, he said, we're not building You'd have to go to Mexico. When I was starting to decide to run, and I went to

number one in the polls very rapidly. I want to say, I want to like, let's say, in the first in the first hour, and then shortly thereafter it looked like I was going to win, and the fake news was saying, oh, no, don't do this. What they don't know is if I didn't win, they would have really been in trouble because nobody wants to read them anyway. But I tell you what, when when it looked like I was going to win, I announced that I was going to be doing exactly

what we're talking about today. Great consistency actually because I've been talking about it for forty years, but because I saw what was happening forty years ago. If you look at my old speeches when I was young, very handsome, my old speeches, and it people would say'd be on a television show, I'd be talking about how we were being ripped off by these countries. I mean, nothing changes very much. The only thing to change were the countries.

But nothing really changes. But you know, it's it's such an honor. It's such an honor to be finally able to do this. If you look at China. I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in my term, hundreds of billions. They never paid ten cents to any other president, and yet they paid hundreds of billions, so much so

that Biden couldn't do anything. They wanted to try and terminate it because he had a very special relationship with China, you know what their relationship was, he had especially, but the numbers were so big, the numbers were so big that they couldn't do it. So they did ease it up. They did things that they shouldn't have done. They made it a lot more comfortable for them, but they couldn't do it because the numbers were hundreds of billions of dollars.

And I did that, and we were on our way to doing something like incredible, and then we had a very bad election. Happened, very bad election. A lot of bad things happened. So when I said we've got to do it again, I said, we have to make it too big to rig. And we made it too big to rig, and we won in records, and it was

a monumental win. And it was such an honor to see so many of you, like Brian and your friends here with us to celebrate and to more importantly celebrate what we're doing, because that wouldn't be a full celebration if we didn't do this, Because this will be an entirely different country in a short period of time. It'll be something the whole world will be talking about it.

The critics made the very tired predictions earlier this year, but in February, core inflation dropped to the lowest rate in four years, and the price of eggs, as you know, just in a couple of in a month and a half. We were there for four weeks, and the first week I got blamed for egg I said, I just got it. They said eggs have gone up at like two hundred and fifty percent and you can't get eggs, and they were going crazy, and I said, I just got here.

And then we got to work on eggs. We got to work on everything in our great Secretary of Agriculture. You did a fantastic job, Brooke Rollins. She did a fantastic job. And as I said before, the price of eggs drop now fifty nine percent and they're going down more and the availability is fantastic. They were saying that for Easter, please don't use eggs. Could you use plastic eggs? I said, we don't want to do that. We want to and you really came through. It's an amazing job.

Thank you very much, Brooke. You did great. But likewise, an old fashioned term that we use, groceries. I used it in the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It so it says a bag with different things in it. Groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that. I talked about the word groceries for a lot. And energy costs now are down, groceries are down, Gasoline is way under three dollars, and people are beginning to be able to buy things and

live again. We brought prices way down. We created ten thousand already in a few weeks new manufacturing jobs, and it was that took place in one month, numbers that they haven't seen in a long time. We had virtually no inflation under my term. We had virtually no inflation for four years, but after transitioning over to Sleepy Joe, it went from almost nonexistent to the highest in the

history of our country. They did the highest inflation in the history of our country brought up by energy and bad spending and bad policy, and a lot of bad things happened. How about allowing millions and millions and millions of people to pour into our country with open borders where the it's so sad to see even now, and I see our great Secretary of you have done. Stand up, please, Christy, stand up, Christine Noam and Tom Homan, he's the people

are doing a great job. But gotten them out in records. We have problems with judges that don't want them to go out. They want trend dear Raqwa and they want Ms thirteen the most vicious gangs ever. Nobody's ever seen anything like it, absolute killer gangs. They kill people that don't even think about it. And we put them out. And we have judges now, radical left judges that want to They don't want them to go out, they want them to even be brought back. Let's bring them back.

You've done a fantastic job, and please thank everybody, Homeland Security, thank everybody. Appreciate it. And we now have a border that's the best border that we've ever had, even better than it was my first term. My first term we did good, but this one we really specialized that we've done really well, and we had records then we had with the best safest border four years go, with the best border there ever was, and now you've actually matched it and done even better. And we're going to get

it down the right way. And we want people, by the way, to come into our country, but we want to come in through a legal process. We want them to come in legally. We need more people. We need people to run these plants and to help THEODO workers and the teamsters and the non union people and everybody else. But we need people on the farmers. And we're going to let people come in, but they want to come in, we want them to come in legally. They have to

have the capability of loving our country. Not people that hate our country. We don't want them in our country. And now we're going to pass the largest tax cuts in American history, and that's where we're relying on Mike and John Thune. And we will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits, and the Democrats will because if they got in, the entire economy would collapse. This country is heading for a collapse under the people that you saw.

They were horrible. I think one of the reasons people liked the job I have my highest approval end is because I think they're comparing me to the worst administration in the history of our country. So I appreciate that at least. But Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader appreciate it. Mike john Thune have been fantastic, by the way, but they've been working tirelessly on taking the next step to pass the plan for our one

big beautiful bill. I'd like to name it that if you can, one big beauty I made that statement about six months ago, and everybody calls it one big beautiful bill, and it will be that. It'll have everything, the big tax cuts and every incentive there is, and it'll be uh fantastic. And by the way, for the cars, we're asking for an interest deduction on the loan. So if you build the car only in America, we do it, Brian. If the car's not built in America, you don't get

the interest rate deduction. But if you kild the car in America, if you buy a car, if it's built in America, then you get an interest rate deduction tax deduction. And that's a big thing. It's going to be a big thing. I think that's going to pay for itself very quickly. That deduction never happened. We've never had anything like that before. Somebody said, where do you get the idea? Because it's so basic, you would think that would have

happened a long time ago. It never did, and I'm very happy it didn't because now I can say that was my idea. But we're going to get us closer to the debt extension. We have to get the debt extension passed, and I know you're going to be able to do that, Mike, and it's very important that you do that and all of the other things that the Senate Budget Plan gives us along with working because I know they're working together, John and Mike, and the two

bills are going very well together. We need to get our shared priorities done, including certain permanent tax cuts. We want the tax cuts to be permanent, spending cuts, energy, and historic investments in defense, border, and so much more. We're covering everything. These will be phenomenal. There'll be no bill like it. It's going to straighten One bill is going to straighten out our country for many, many years to come, and we said, let's just do it, and

let's get it done. And some guys will love it, and some guys will like it a little bit less because they're not getting what they were exactly looking for, but they're getting a lot they'll never If we get this done, it'll be the most incredible bill ever passed in the history of our Congress and Senate and congressmen. The senators and the congressmen, many of whom are here today, will be very proud of themselves. I really believe that it's going to set us on a whole new prosperous path.

We're going to cut spending and right size the budget back to where it should be. We're going to do that very strongly. Thank you, Rick, Thank you, John, thank you. Oh look look at all of our senators open. Oh boy, that's a nice group of people, but I won't like them so much if they don't get this bill done out. That's a great group. And Congressman, thank you very much. I appreciate it, tremendous people. The Senate plan is my complete and total support, and the House plan likewise, is

very similar. They're moving along pretty much at the same clip. And as soon as you're ready, you'll show it to me and I'm sure it'll have my support. Mind. Every Republican Congressman and senator must unify. We have to unify. We can't be separated. We have to get it done. We have to get absolutely everything we can, and we have to take care of the American people. That's the only thing that matters. We have to take care of the American people first. We need to pass this bill immediately,

get it done, including debt extension. From this day on, we're not going to let anyone tell us that American workers and families cannot have the future that they deserve. We're going to produce the cars and ships, chips, airplanes, minerals, and medicines that we need right here in America. The pharmaceutical companies are going to become roaring back, coming roaring back. They're all coming back to our country because if they don't,

they've got a big tax to pay. And if they do, I'll be very happy, and you're going to be very happy, and you're going to be very safe. We're going to build our future with American hands, with American heart, American steel, and we're going to build it with American pride like

we used to. We're approaching our one hundredth day as president and have been given credit by a lot of people, actually even some of the fake news, can you believe it, which in this case hopefully isn't fake, for having done more in that time than any other administration in the history of our country. In the first one hundred days, I think we've had an amazing in terms of what we've done, what we've gotten accomplished, like to see if we can get that war ended and another war from

not starting in the Middle East. We have to get Russia. They're losing two thousand, on average, two thousand, five hundred people of the day, young people, soldiers Russian think of that two thousand, five hundred through some days, but on average, probably over about one week period, it's two thousand and seven hundred and twelve. They say they're losing those soldiers, they're dying at being decimated, and they're not from our country,

but they're from other countries. But they're human beings. They're from Russia, they're from Ukraine in this period, most of them, and we're going to get it stopped. It's a senseless war that would have never happened if I was president that it shouldn't be allowed to go on. And I think we're being given good cooperation by Russia and by Ukraine, but we have to get it stopped. It's humanity, it's humanity. It's a terrible thing that this will be a very

big moment. I think you're going to remember today. It's going to be a free nation that we're dealing with. We're going to have a very free and beautiful nation to be Liberation Day in America, and it's going to be a day that hopefully you're going to look back in years to come and you're going to say, you know, he was raped. This has turned out to be one of the most important days in the history of our country. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you, everybody, Thank you very much.

price for these unjustified tariffs. This is why our government will not be seeking to impose reciprocal tariffs. We will not join a race to the bottom that leads to higher prices and slower growth. We will stand up for Australia. We will continue to make the strongest case for these unjustified tariffs to be removed from our exporters. Our existing free trade agreement with the United States contains dispute resolution mechanisms.

We want to resolve this issue without resorting to using these as we do support continued constructive engagement with our friends in the United States. Our shared history, our friendship, our alliance. These are all bigger than a poor de But the.

That is why we've been crystal clear with the United States about what is not up for negotiation. Australia is a great trading nation. One in four of our jobs depends upon trade. But we will never trade away the things which make us the best country in the world. The pharmaceutical bearing and if its scheme is an Australian institution, a proud labor creation that my government has built on.

The investments we're making in the PBS mean that life saving and life changing medicines which would otherwise cost people thousands of dollars, will be no more than twenty five dollars, a script under labor that will never be.

and produce us from the risks of disease or contamination. Indeed, we've made it a priority to strengthen biosecurity because one of the things that makes Australian food and five are the best in the world is the people everywhere know that it stands for quality, it also stands for safety. Another key point was technology. Our government stands by our Media Bargaining Code. We strongly support local content in streaming services,

so Australian's stories stay on Australian screens. And we have no intention of repealing the world leading legislation that we passed with overwhelming support that set the minimum age for social media at sixteen. That policy is about what's best for Australian children and Australian parents. These are our priorities. We stand up for Australia's interests.

world in human history. We are implementing our Southeast Asia Economic Strategy developed by Nicholas Moore, and I thank him and give a shout out to him yet again for the extraordinary work that he did on being half of the nation that he loves. Our roadmap for economic engagement with India is what we launched here in Melbourne at Monash University just a month ago. This is about delivering for Australian businesses in what will be the third largest

economy in the world. We've signed a new trade agram with the United Arab Emirates. A tribute to the guy on my left here for the nature that what that has done is open up the markets of the Middle East. Through the UAE, we're boosting exports of Australian beef and red meat, expanding trade with the UK, European Union and Indonesia.

And of course we've cleared away over twenty billion dollars in trade impediments with China, backing local manufacturing with our Future Made in Australia Plan, investing in the skills, technology and energy to make more things here and stand on our own two feet. We're building on these actions today. First, we will strengthen our anti dumping regime to safeguard key

sectors like steel, aluminium and manufacturing against unfair competition. Second, we will provide fifty million dollars to affected sectors, particularly through peak bodies such as the National Farmers Federation, to secure and grow new markets for their world class products.

deepening our cooperation with traditional partners and allies. But we have also, as the Prime Minister has outlined, strengthened Australia's relationships across our region where our prosperity and our security are most on the line, with India that has overtaken the United States as our fourth largest trading partner, with Japan and Korea, with Southeast Asia, which will soon be the world's fourth largest economy, where we are implementing the

Southeast Asian Economic Strategy to twenty forty that the Prime Minister described, and with the Pacific, where we have delivered transformational partnerships after the previous loss decade under Peter Dutton and the Coalition. I would also say we see from the decision today that some of the countries of our region are the hardest hit by these tariffs, and we do not underestimate the disruption the decisions will have on the economies of our region and the global system.

stand up for Australians together. So I would say this, this is a day for anyone who is a political leader or who aspires to be a political leader, to be part of that unity and stand with us for Australia.

these tariffies. On our program of expanding Australia's trade relationship in this three year term, we've introduced a new free trade agreement with the United Kingdom that's already doubled our trade with the United Kingdom in the case of beef,

a five hundred percent increase. We've established a new free trade agreement with India that's already delivering significant benefits to both our agriculture and manufacturing sector, and we're on the cusp of another agreement to expand our relationship with India. Minister mentioned, we've got a new agreement with the United Arab Emirates. Think of the United Arab Emirates as the woolies in the Middle East, and we're getting every product in there tariff free. Then you can get it to

all of the countries in that region. On Monday afternoon, I'm talking with my European counterpart. We all know what happened the last time we had discussions with the Europeans. I think things have changed and the opportunity to have further negotiations about a free trade agreement on better terms than have been previously offered now exists and we should take that opportunity. In the last month, I've spoken to all of our major trading partners and we're going to

continue expanding our trade opportunities with them. I've also had the opportunity to speak to all of the affected industries. By these decisions, the Prime Ministers outlined the way in which we are going to continue to support those industries, but in particular push them out the door into new markets.

There's not more steel or olminium being produced in the United States today than there was in February.

which is there, but it is across the board. It's quite clear that the Trump administration was determined to do this.

less than that. So I think that's a really important political statement because he's going to come under attack from the opposition for not having done enough to avoid these tariffs, for not having had the connection with the White House, with Donald Trump himself in person of course Mody, the Japanese Prime Minister. They all made the trek and they are facing much larger tariffs than Australia is. So the Prime Minister, inasmuch as this is bad news, will be

portraying this as a relative win. And he did make the point that comparatively, America is only five percent of our exports. Our nation is prepared and ready to counter the effects of this. They've put a billion dollars aside for loans to get some of our affected exporters into new markets. They're talking about a trade mission to all of these markets within one hundred days after the election.

a poor decision, totally unwarranted. And here's the killer. A reciprocal tariff on Australia would be zero, not ten percent, So the tariff has no basis in logic from the Prime Minister's point of view.

is our most important and principal strategic partner. These are all bigger than this decision.

higher tariff into the United States. If they're sensible. If they're sensible, they will make us a better offer on the issues that made the agreement fall over last time, and we will get a free trade agreement with the EU, the largest economy in the world.

into Australia. We certainly, in the discussions we've had with the United States put a position that was consistent with ensuring our biosecurity is looked after, then we would give consideration.

that you've just indicated. That's consistent with last time around on our youuminium and steel, where mister Dutton came out and was critical of Australia, not critical of the United States for imposing these tariffs even though they were universal and across the board.

in every major battle over that period of time. We have a special relationship with the United States and it hasn't been treated with respect by the administration or by the President. And the question now is what do we do to resolve this matter, and to do it quickly.

It's clear to me that in the language that's come out of the administration that there is a discussion to take place, and it needs to take place as a matter of urgency, because as Prime Minister, I want to make sure that we can help our beef producers, make sure that we can help our manufacturers, make sure that we can grow our industry, and make sure that we

can increase employment in this country. And we can do that through a normalized relationship in a trading sense with the United States, and obviously to expand other markets, which is exactly what a coalition government does and has as a priority and always has had. We believe very strongly

in free trade. I've spoken this morning with three major beef producers here in Australia, two of whom are heavily involved in export to the United States and talking about what the impact will be on them and the plans for them and for their company, and obviously they're in negotiations with their counterparts in the United States.

the United States into Australia. They need to meet the traceability requirements and they need to adhere to our strict conditions that we have in place. The next point that I would make is that we have a tunity in my judgment to do to start negotiations with the United States straight away. I think there can be a deal done very quickly with the administration, and I think it's

important the Prime Minister apply himself to that immediately. I think it's obvious that we have and I've made this point, I think in a speech last year and again in January this year, there is a critical relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom in terms of our defense compact. We have troops in the north of our country, we have the Orchest Deal, we have the Aers Treaty. It is a long and abiding relationship and the core of an arrangement between US and the United States in

resolving this matter will center around the defense relationship. The critical minerals that I spoke about again in my speech in January is an absolute must do in the relationship, and the United States to shore up at supply chains requires our critical minerals. So there is a natural point

of leverage for us in the relationship. The Prime Minister hasn't been able to get a call or a meeting with President Trump, but that needs to change and he needs to do everything he can to leverage the ambassador and others to get the relationship normalized. It's obvious that the Prime Minister didn't know anything about this announcement until it was actually released to the press, which also speaks to the state of the relationship at the moment. So I want to make sure that we can as quickly

as possible resolve this matter. I believe that we can, and I'm happy to take some questions. I just want to I just want to make this point first though, the government announced five measures, one strengthening anti dumping laws, which we strongly support, and we don't believe that the government should have weakened anti dum dumping.

administered through the Export Finance Australia Organization. We do strongly support, obviously government to buy Australian and the Government has promised this already, of course, but it hasn't properly been put into action. In relation to government procurement processes, and the government talks about establishing a strategic reserve of critical minerals.

and there will be economic detriment to our country. And that's why I honestly believe when you read the statement, it says, and I'll just quote this short part from it, these tariffs will remain in a fair until such time as President Trump determines that the threat posed by the trade deficit and underlying non reciprocal treatment is satisfied, resolved,

or mitigated. Now, that is a statement that we haven't seen before, and the focus that we should have as a government and as an alternative government is to do a deal on that basis as quickly as possible so that we can reduce the impact on Australians, on our industry and on our export capability.

or elsewhere. The Prime Minister has been weak and missing in action, and that's why we find ourselves in the position that we're in today.

and I want to resolve the matter. And the question for us now is who is best able to deal with this relationship, Who is best able to deal with an uncertain time in national security sense as well as an economic sense. And the times at the moment don't require a week leader, and mister Albinezi has demonstrated that again today.

United States. Now, this is an important point, not one mentioned before now by the Prime Minister.

an outrage. And Richard Marles has just sort of dropped out there that it's not going to be a full life of type extension for the Colins class, and I think that is a national disgrace because we need that capability.

Stude class ultimately are going to be fit for purpose and best for us.

by this government's lack of investment. So I think it again is a win win in the relationship because I want to sell what we're manufacturing here into the United States and the United States is a willing buyer for much of that product and we already see it with some companies, but how can we scale it up?

to the Australian people is stability and proven performance. We have the ability to manage the economy, we have the ability to manage our national security needs, and we have an ability to make sure that we can get a better deal for Australia which is exactly what we do.

we're not trading anything away. We want to enhance the relationship and I believe that we're the only alternative at this election that can achieve the better outcomes.

into the West Wing. He has to make sure that there is a discussion about how we can enhance this relationship. And I strongly believe that we can and I think he can do that quickly, and I think that's the main focus.

and live a safe life. So I'm absolutely non negotiable in that regard, and in relation to the other elements, We're not negotiating on that basis. There are other elements of the relationship which are important both the United States and to us. They are in our mutual best interests, and they center around the defense relationship and the trade relationship, including on beef.

When you look at the global map and you look at where these deposits are held, the Americans have very few options. And that's why I think it is an absolutely integral part to the negotiation.

would have been a discussion and engagement. Secondly, the Prime Minister would have known about it before it was announced to the rest of the world, and that shows where the state of the relationship is at the moment.

he applies himself to it. There can be a deal to be done, but we need to make sure that we act in our country's bestial.

that achieved an outcome for our country. Now this Prime Minister hasn't been able to do that, and we need to look at the decision that's been made which is bad for our country and I condemn it. But the question is what do we do now to rectify the situation and turn it into a positive for our country. There's no doubt in my mind that we can do that.

The Prime Minister has it surely in front of him to be able to do over the course of the next few weeks, and that's an outcome that will be in the better interest of our country.

There are seven locations around the country, and I won't be able to get to all of them, but I do know that when you speak to people in regions fluting in the hunter in New South Wales, for example, they know the workers there know that when coal comes to an end, there's no shopping mall to work in, there's no barista course that they can take that's going to give them a job to provide support to their family. They know that heavy industry will leave the still manufacturing

can't survive without secure and reliable energy. The local foundry doesn't work without the base of that industry in place. So they know that what we're offering is the ability to transform those communities and to build it up as we're seeing in the United States.

The Prime Minister is saying to Australians, vote for him, vote for Anthony Alberisi and vote for Adam Band.

is there to be done. Now this will require further analysis and teasing out in the days ahead in this campaign, but I'll just leave you with that thought, Dan, a very obvious point of difference emerging.
