Trump touts trade deal with the PH, lashes out at Obama
During a White House meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, US President Donald Trump says the two countries are "very close to finishing a big trade deal" and praises military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. Asked about the Justice Department’s efforts to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned accomplice of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Trump deflects by accusing former President Barack Obama of criminal wrongdoing. Trump also announces a $50 billion investment by AstraZeneca in the US, and confirms a future visit to China at the invitation of President Xi.

00:00And we're very close to finishing a trade deal, big trade deal actually, and we do a lot of business with you.
00:06All of what we consider part of the modernization of the Philippine military is really as a response to the circumstances that surround the situation around the South China Sea,
00:19and now what we used to refer to as Asia Pacific, which we have expanded now to the Indo-Pacific.
00:25Yeah, I don't know about it, but I think it's something that would be, sounds appropriate to do, yeah.
00:30Do you have any concern that your deputy attorney general, as your former attorney, would be conducting the interview, given...
00:36No, I have no concern there. He's a very talented person. He's very smart.
00:41I didn't know that they were going to do it. I don't really follow that too much.
00:44It's sort of a witch hunt, just a continuation of the witch hunt.
00:49The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold, Tulsi Gabbard.
00:55Start after what they did to me, and whether it's right or wrong, it's time to go after people.
01:05Obama's been caught directly.
01:07So people say, oh, you know, a group. It's not a group.
01:10It's Obama. His orders are on the paper.
01:12The papers are signed. The papers came right out of their office.
01:15They sent everything to be highly classified.
01:18Well, the highly classified has been released, and what they did in 2016 and in 2020 is very criminal.
01:48Well, everybody's driving me.
01:50When you enter the article of interviewing, you can find it in New York.
