00:18which is very important.

00:20We're very happy to be announcing $17 billion

00:22worth of deals that are coming to the United States.

00:28And this is real.

00:28This isn't real money.

00:30These aren't fake deals.

00:31These are real.

00:31They don't have to borrow the money.

00:33We don't have to borrow it.

00:34It's coming in.

00:35And it only builds upon a legacy that we're very proud of.

00:39We have had a relationship in the civil side

00:43between our two countries since 1893 and formally since 1948.

00:48So may it long continue.

01:42I devote my time to fixing it up.

01:45But now we had to fix up our country.

01:47So we have, I think everyone is saying we have the hottest country now anywhere in the world.

01:53We are a dead country.

01:54And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.
