Balancing the Trade Deficit and Bringing Jobs to America! President Trump Shares RECORD BREAKING numbers with Business Leaders from America and Japan

As President Trump continues the full-steam ahead progression in his Presidency, he continues to bring his wealth of knowledge in the business world to the relationships with world leaders as well as to the businesses in America. This couldn’t be exemplified greater than his recent speech to US and Japanese Business Leaders when he visited Tokyo, Japan. While President Trump continues his 5 Country Asian Trip, he is representing America in an outstanding way and strengthening the bonds with our allies.

The President has continued to underscore the importance of improving the relationship of trade agreements with Japan for the betterment of both of our economies. The President isn’t shy to admit that Japan has been fairing better than the United States in this area. “And I have to say, for the last many decades, Japan has been winning. You do know that.” The President continues, “For the, actually, last 70 years, cooperation between our two countries has helped us to pioneer incredible advances in commerce, in science, medicine, and technology.” The President points out that Americans and Japanese have been working alongside one another in a myriad of industries achieving marvelous accolades.

As the President speaks to the room of business leaders, he speaks their language as he addresses the topic that would perk the ear of any business leader, inviting more of their business to America: lowering taxes. The President also addresses some of the realities about doing business in America that is undeniable. “The United States is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world. But it’s also a market like no other; by far, the biggest market in the world. Its numbers are phenomenal over the last — since November 8th, Election Day.” By looking at the record breaking lows of unemployment, and the number of jobs created, increasing signs of improvement in the economy can clearly be seen. As the President describes the gains being experienced in the Stock Market, he expresses just how many times this has happened; “The stock market reached an all-time high on Friday, and that’s the 61st, I believe –something around that number — 61st time that’s happened.”

In the wake of America experiencing 4 different hurricanes making landfall this season, causing massive destruction to Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and other areas, the President points out that the GDP in the United States far exceeded any expectations. As some would expect a 2-2.5 GDP, the most recent numbers are 3.2, according to the President. As the President continues to explain, considering the effects of the hurricanes, this means that we may have been in the area of 4. Absolutely remarkable!

The President changes gears as he points out how the amount of regulations in America is crippling the ability to rebuild our infrastructure. As the President is cutting regulation, a bridge that would take 20 years to build, will now take one year to build, saving millions of dollars in budget expenditures. The President then applies this to the business representatives he is addressing by talking about production plants. “You want to build a factory – most importantly, to the folks in this room — or a plant? You’re going to have your approvals very, very quickly. Now, you may be rejected quickly, too. But that’s okay. If you’re rejected quickly — you don’t want to be rejected at the end of the 17th year.” This wisdom and decisiveness is simply remarkable. The President continues, “When you want to build your auto plants, you will have your approvals almost immediately. When you want to expand your plants, you will have your approvals almost immediately.”

On the topic of building production plants, the President speaks bluntly by asking Japanese auto businesses to build products in America versus building them in Japan and shipping them to America. “And we love it when you build cars — if you’re a Japanese firm, we love it — try building your cars in the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to ask? That’s not rude. Is that rude? I don’t think so.” He then points out how Mazda and Toyota have decided to invest $1.6 Billion in manufacturing plants in the United States which will create 4,000 new jobs. In addition, the President explains how Denso will be investing $1 Billion in Tennessee creating 1,000 new jobs. Each time the President talks about these massive companies he takes the time to leave the podium and personally honor, recognize, and shake the hands of the business leaders. Other companies, such as Broadcomm and Foxconn is also carrying out expansions in America.

It is so exciting to see the President going to the source and handing business agreements with those who make the decisions, the leaders of the businesses. As America has suffered greatly in the area of trade agreements, these days are coming to an end. Be encouraged as you see the full statement from President Trump as he addresses the many business leaders, and so much more.

“Our Alliance is More Important than Ever”, President Trump Press Conference with President Moon of South Korea

As the President continues his 5 country tour in Asia, he makes a stop in South Koreato strengthen the bond of our alliance with South Korea, and to use this opportunity to address the growing concern of a nuclear North Korea. As the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, expresses, the President’s highlights the first state visit from a U.S. President in 25 years. Both President Trump and President Moon had high remarks to share with one another.

President Moon was quick to address how their conversations were tackling the topic of North Korea. “Moreover, we agreed to work towards resolving a North Korean nuclear issue in a peaceful manner and bringing permanent peace to the Korean Peninsula.” President Moon continues, “Against escalating nuclear and missile threats from North Korea, we reaffirmed our principle that we must maintain a strong stance toward North Korean threats based on overwhelming superiority of power.” It is deeply encouraging to see President Trump taking these actions to demonstrate the high priority of responding to North Korea and his allegiance to defending countries like South Korea during this time.

President Moon addressed how their allegiance with one another will have an influence military troops in the region. “In this regard, President Trump and I agreed to expend rotational deployment of U.S. strategic assets in and around Korean Peninsula. We will step up our collaboration to enhance Korea’s self-defense capability to unprecedented levels.” Not only will there be a change to the military presence, but some of the previous limitations placed upon South Korea will be removed as well. “To this end, we reached a conclusion today to lift the payload limit on Korean missiles completely, with a final agreement”, President Moon added.

Presently, North Korea finds itself in a precarious situation. But, if they were to suspend their forward progress of their nuclear program, there can be hope in their future. President Moon expressed these words, “should North Korea choose to make the right choice, we also reaffirmed our view that we are willing to offer North Korea a bright future. Based on such common approach between our two countries, we will continue to lead efforts to bring peaceful and fundamental solutions to North Korean nuclear issues.” History will be the indicator as to how President Trump’s visit to the region and South Korea effected the volatile reality of North Korea.

As President Trump replied with his remarks, he shared the same sentiments regarding the allegiance with South Korea and the urgency to respond to North Korea. “The Republic of Korea is more than a longstanding ally of the United States. We are partners and friends who have fought side-by-side in a war, and, really, worked very hard and prospered toward a great and lasting peace.” It is considering this ‘longstanding’ relationship that President Trump underscores the necessity to relieve the tensions with North Korea. “We cannot allow North Korea to threaten all that we have built…Our alliance is more important than ever to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and across the Indo-Pacific region.”

The President fully understands that North Korea’s continual rebellious missile launches are not only a threat to the region, but to the entire world. As the President expresses his thoughts on the North Korean regime; “We will together confront North Korea’s actions and prevent the North Korean dictator from threatening millions of innocent lives. He is indeed threatening millions and millions of lives so needlessly. North Korea is a worldwide threat that requires worldwide action.” As the President points out, the need for assistance not only comes from countries like South Korea and Japan, but also other countries in the region like China and Russia. President Trump clearly states, “All nations must implement U.N. Security Council regulations and cease trade and business entirely with North Korea. It is unacceptable that nations would help to arm and finance this increasingly dangerous regime.”

It cannot be understated the importance of recognizing the possibility that the United States could soon find itself at war in this region. It is deeply encouraging to see President Trump taking the conversation to the region and not simply resorting to a phone call. This matter requires much wisdom and prayer. Continue to pray for the President as he concludes the remainder of this 5 country Asian trip and responds to the matters involving North Korea, and so much more. Also shared in this segment: trade agreements, bonds with allies, President of South Korea Moon Jae-in, North Korea, missile payload capabilities, nuclear missile launches, Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, The Trump Administration, and hope.

Strengthening Alliance with Japan! Press Conference with President Trump and Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzō Abe

by Greg Lancaster

LISTEN NOW! (Or WATCH FULL PROGRAM) President Trump has embarked on a 5 country Asian Tour. On his first stop, President Trump visited Japan for a Press Conference with Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzō Abe. Prime Minster Abe was one of the first world leaders to congratulate President Trump before he even took office in the White House. It was Prime Minister Abe who demonstrated his deepfelt gratitude towards President Elect Donald Trump winning the Presidency by travelling to America to personally congratulate him after the Presidential Election. Since then, there has been a strong bond between these two leaders.

Prime Minister Abe wasted no time in expressing his thanks for the visitation from the President and making Japan his first stop during this Asian Tour. “This made this historic significance even greater. In this way, two of us were able to show to the rest of the world the unshakable Japan-U.S. alliance.” The comments were cordial and conversational as Prime Minister Abe expressed the productivity that they were able to have and discuss during their meetings. “For the last two days, I was able to have an in-depth discussion with Donald on a plethora of issues that the international community is faced with.” Prime Minister Abe continued to address their agreement on how to respond to North Korea. “In the discussion, overwhelming importance was occupied by the North Korean issue. We were in complete agreement as to the measures to be taken upon the analysis of the latest situation of North Korea giving a good amount of time.”

If anyone was wondering how the relationship is between the United States and Japan towards the topic of North Korea, there is no confusing the following words from Prime Minister Abe; “Through the talks over two days, I once again strongly reaffirmed that Japan and U.S. are 100 percent together.” Prime Minister Abe echoes the same sentiment as President Trump has expressed towards the North Korea regime. “Now is the time not for dialogue but for applying maximum level of pressure on North Korea.”

Prime Minister Abe shifts topics as he points out how the United States and Japan are economic leaders in the world, comprising 30% of the global economy. “The significance of Japan-U.S. alliance is not limited on security front alone. In the economic field, it greatly contributes to the prosperity of the region and the world.” As the Prime Minister continues, “I, together with President Trump, shall work not only in the field of bilateral trade, but also lead in the high-standard rulemaking in trade and investment broadly in the Asia Pacific region.” It may be unbelievable to remember that only a few short decades ago, these two countries were at war with one another. But today, we find ourselves at the intersection of cooperation and agreement. This is truly a remarkable milestone in the relationship between the United States and Japan.

As the President responds with his remarks, he expresses the same sentiments regarding the strong relationship between the United States and Japan. “And I agree with you that our relationship is extraordinary. And I agree with you also that there has never been such a close relationship between the leaders of two countries — these two countries, Japan and the United States.” As the President deeply underscored his gratitude to Prime Minister Abe and their relationship, he expressed his respect for the Japanese people and the Japanese culture. “And yet, for all of its modern splendor, the people of Japan maintain a profound respect for their rich culture, heritage, and traditions. Honoring the past, even as you blaze new trails into the future — very, very strongly looking into the future — is Japan.”

Mirroring the pattern of Prime Minister’s Abe comments, the President also had much to share about his perspective on the dangers of North Korea in this present age. “The era of strategic patience is over.” President Trump understands that the United States, as well as the world, cannot afford another Administration responding to North Korea the way past Administrations have for the last 25 years. “Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong, but look what’s happened with very weak rhetoric over the last 25 years. Look at where we are right now.” It is the beliefs and values of nations like the United States and Japan that must stand up and respond to North Korea. As the President expresses, “history has proven over and over that strong and free nations will always prevail over tyrants who oppress their people”.

It is deeply refreshing to see President Trump representing the United States and taking a proactive approach to the relationships of the countries in Asia, and the increasing threat of a nuclear North Korea. Be encouraged as you see first-hand the strong bond between the United States and Japan, their agreement of urgency in response to North Korea, and so much more.
