00:00Mr. Speaker, can I begin by congratulating President-elect Trump on his historic election victory.
00:06As the closest of allies, the UK and US will continue to work together to protect our shared values of freedom and democracy.
00:16And having had dinner with President-elect Trump just a few weeks ago, I look forward to working with him in the years to come.
00:24I would like to go straight to the main international news, namely the re-election of Donald Trump.
00:33As you know, the President of the Republic had the opportunity to address his congratulations to Donald Trump
00:39and to discuss this subject with the German Chancellor.
00:43They know each other, they have already worked together for four years.
00:46And the President of the Republic said during this Council of Ministers that our role was not to comment on the choice of sovereign peoples,
00:54but that it was necessary, on the other hand, to have a European strategic awakening.
00:58Donald Trump clearly won the election. I congratulate him on that.
01:03President Trump will take on his position in a time of great challenge and crisis.
01:08In its administration, the United States and its President play a central role.
01:15That is why a presidential election in the United States always has an impact beyond America.
01:21It is certainly a failure of liberal and progressive ideas, because the new American president is conservatively oriented.
01:31We think that he will make a great contribution to the economic interests of the United States of America.
01:38The glorious America in the first place will certainly be realized in all its decisions.
01:44I think that we will sweat in the European Union,
01:47because we are not able to be as healthy in the European Union as the new American president's administration can be.
01:56In the future, Mr. Trump will be the next president.
02:01We want to strengthen the Japanese-US alliance and the Japanese-US relationship while maintaining close cooperation.
02:11In the future, we will do our best to have a close relationship with Mr. Trump.
02:20The presidential election in the United States is an internal affair in the United States.
02:23We respect the choice of the American people.
02:25As for the tariffs you mentioned, we do not answer hypothetical questions.
02:29We are well aware of the policies of the United States.
02:32We will continue to respect each other, live in peace, cooperate and win, and treat Sino-US relations with respect.
02:40The election of the president of the United States has nothing to do with us.
02:45The policies of the United States and the Islamic Republic are stable policies.
02:52Many people will not take this issue seriously.
02:58We have already made the necessary preparations.
03:01If we were to have a comprehensive trade war in the world,
03:05between the United States and China, between European markets and other countries' markets,
03:12then it would undoubtedly affect a trade-dependent, export-dependent, globalized country like Sweden.
03:19Without a doubt, it is quite obvious.
03:21Another risk is a reduced commitment to Ukraine.
03:26I do not intend to indicate this in advance.
03:29On the contrary, I would say that we are committed to the fact that the United States is the single largest military contributor to Ukraine.
