Video transcript
I'm excited to go, and we were discussing, and President Trump said, "Masa, you know, double dollar is not enough, maybe, you know, go for more," right? That's right. I'm going to ask him right now, would you make it $200 billion in sales? He can actually, believe it or not, he can actually afford to do that. Would you do that? Well, my promise is 100, but, you know, he's now asking to do more. I think, you know, with your leadership, my partnership with you, with your support, I will try to make it happen. All right. 200, he'll make it happen. 200 million investment. He is a great negotiator. He's a brilliant guy, and an unbelievable job, and the people of Japan and all over the world are very proud of him. He had tremendous respect for himself, what he does, what he just did, and I would be surprised at what he didn't go to do. When you say you'll try, I know you'll do it. I will really try.
