00:00We've just completed an unprecedented summit of North American mayors focused on an issue

00:18of importance to all of our cities right now, and that is trade between our three nations.

00:25This is an extraordinary gathering at an extraordinary moment.

00:30As you all know, the last couple months have been marked by escalating tariffs and threats

00:36to trade.

00:37At this summit, we've shared how our economies, good jobs, and the cost of living in each

00:42of our communities all depend on the trade relationship across North America.

00:49We conclude with one simple message.

00:52Let us end this trade war and restore the stable and mutually beneficial trade relationship

00:58that has provided all of us so much shared prosperity.

01:02The United States has no better trading partners than our closest allies, Canada and Mexico.

01:10Mayors from our three nations are releasing a joint statement in support of free and fair

01:15trade between Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America.

01:20We are warning of the serious and last damage from tariffs and calling for an end to the

01:26trade conflict.

01:28For nearly 30 years, trade between our three countries has brought immense value and deepened

01:34the bonds between our nations.

01:36We have grown into close allies, partners, and neighbors.

01:41We show up for each other, lean on each other, and have created a solid foundation of prosperity

01:47for all.

01:49However, the strength and unity of our countries have suffered at the hands of this unjust

01:55tariff war.

01:57Together, we stand united and ask for these escalating tariffs to end.

02:02Today, we speak with one voice on behalf of Canadians, Mexicans, and Americans who deserve

02:09the economic conditions to ensure long-term prosperity for all.

02:15We are stronger together.

02:17Now what we really need is the administration to sit down with the two countries and say,

02:24all right, it's time for fair trade all the way across, balanced.

02:27We are neighbors, we are friends, we are colleagues.

02:29We cannot live without each other.

02:32Look, we all want fair and balanced trade, and we want equal, but the reality is here

02:38that we've got to get to the table.

02:39We can't do it with threats.

02:41You do it with conversation.

02:44But it's just not something that's happened before, and to see a Mayor Brian Barnett of

02:48Michigan leaning Republican, a Mayor Andy Schor of Michigan leaning Democrat, all of

02:53us coming together along with our new friends, I just think that this is something that people

02:59are going to stand up and take notice of.

03:02We understand that trading is important, but what we came out knowing that it's the people

03:08to people relations and the ability to meet our people where they are.

03:13So we will stay united.

03:15We know that we are stronger together, and we hope that our voices today will resonate

03:20to the administration as well as to our congressional leaders.

03:25The time is now.
