00:00We had great discussions today, I think, on the obvious subject of Iran and also the less
00:06obvious subject with respect to Israel, and that's trade.
00:11And I think the prime minister is going to tell you a little bit about trade and what
00:14they're doing for the United States.
00:17As you said, we had the opportunity to talk today about many subjects.
00:21First, if I can mention tariffs, it's a subject of some interest today.
00:27I can tell you that I said to the president a very simple thing.
00:31We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States.
00:36We intend to do it very quickly.
00:38We think it's the right thing to do.
00:40And we're going to also eliminate trade barriers, a variety of trade barriers that have been
00:45put up unnecessarily.
00:46And I think Israel can serve as a model for many countries who ought to do the same.
00:53I recognize the position of the United States.
00:57It says, you know, we're allowing other countries to put tariffs on us, but we don't put tariffs
01:03on them.
01:04And, you know, I'm a free trade champion, and free trade has to be fair trade.
01:08And I think that's basically the position that you've put forward, Mr. President.
01:13We are going to eliminate the tariffs.
