Thank you very much. It's a real honor to have the highly respected, the great Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway with us today, who, as you know, has been doing a fantastic job and truly respected throughout the world as a leader. And thank you very much for being here. We appreciate it. And we're going to be having a meeting in the Oval Office in a little while where you'll be invited back and you can ask some questions. It's also a pleasure to have my friend who did such a good job at NATO, my great friend Dred. So you really did. We started off, they had no money and they ended up having a lot of money after we said you got to pay, you got to pay up. But you did a fantastic job and thank you very much. And I'm glad you're here, glad we meet each other again and under these circumstances. So we'll be meeting in a little while at the Oval Office and if you have maybe one or two questions we'll do it now and after that we'll go to the Oval.

Thank you very much. It's a great honor to have Prime Minister Starmer in the Oval Office. It's a very special place, and he's a special man. And the United Kingdom is a -- is a wonderful -- this is a wonderful country that I know very well. I'm there a lot. And I'll be going -- I'll be going there, and we expect to see each other in the near future. We'll be announcing it. But we're going to be discussing many things today. We'll be discussing Russia-Ukraine. We'll be discussing trade and lots of other items. And I think we can say that we're going to be getting along on every one of them. We've had a tremendous relationship. And, frankly, the Prime Minister and I have met twice before, and we get along very famously, as you would say. And I look forward to it very much. We look forward to the day and the meeting. We'll be having a luncheon after this. And then another work session. And I believe we're going to have a press conference at the end. So I look forward to it. And, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you very much.

I'm delighted to welcome Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru to the White House for the first time. Japan is a nation that is home to one of the great civilizations in the history of the world. The United States is totally committed to the security of Japan. We will extend the full strength of American deterrence capabilities in defense of our friend and ally. Come the Prime Minister and I will be working closely together to maintain peace and security. After our meeting today, I'm confident that the cherished alliances between our two countries will continue to flourish into the future.

I thought she was gonna come out with some of these memorable lines. All the memorable lines were from Donald Trump. Run, spot, rum, shh, shh, I'm speaking. Does that sound familiar? Wake Joe Biden up at four o'clock in the afternoon and go get him to sign this thing to close the border. I took a bullet because you said I was a threat to democracy. And they're eating the pets. You know, you watch this thing, if you're a Democrat, you're like, oh, she did a great job. She was much more forceful than Joe Biden. You're Republican, you look at this and you're like, that's Donald Trump. He had some moments where you were like, oh my God, where are we going with this? And then he just had some great knockouts.

- I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food. - We've seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before. Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union, et cetera. It leads to shortages, it leads to black markets. - It's essentially where we're talking about those gargantuan big government that controls everything. What we're talking about is a war on capitalism. - It's not gonna be markets, it's not gonna be supply and demand that's determining how much your grocery store charges you for milk or for eggs. It's gonna be some bureaucrat in D.C., which seems like totally unworkable. - It's always, always about control. They want to control, they want to be able to pick winners and losers, and also be able to punish those losers.
