Veterans, we can figure out how to expedite that process. The idea that were sitting around having a discussion about personnel inhibiting the care the veterans deserve really does not bode well for the reflection that we want in this country. People who have served this nation, we should be wednesdaying over we should be bending other backwards to make sure that the services they frankly earned is something that is given the highest priority and something that the president remains highly committed to. Miriam borgess. Yeah, miriam. Hi [inaudible] the president is going to be speaking today with [inaudible] yeah. I would like to know how President Trump sees the relation with spain [inaudible] so im not going to well have a readout after the call, but i imagine theyre going to talk about a shared commitment to defeating isis and that theyll discuss our bilateral relationship and reaffirm our commitment between the two countries. I think we will have a readout on that call with spain as we will with all the countries and all the other leaders that we talk to and have in the past. I dont want to get too far ahead of it. But i would imagine that the current relationship we have with spain and our commitment to isis will be at the forefront of that. Maria pena. March ya. Yeah, hear. Yeah. Sorry. Thank you. Its kind of loud in here. Twopart question. One, can you confirm whether or not the white house has accepted the credentials of the new mexican ambassador . And also representative mike rogers, i believe, this morning said he plans to introduce a bill to impose a 2 tax on all remittances of mexican [inaudible] to the country to pay for the wall. Would the president rally behind that bill . So, first, id have to get back on you on the ambassadors credentials. I dont know. We can check with the department of state and figure that out. I dont know that right off the top of my held, and im not going to comment we dont put out administration statements on policy until the bill has gone through. The president , as you know, campaigned for 18 months on replacing the Affordable Care act. Where is his plan . Hes working with congress. I think i just answered that question, but hes working with speaker ryan. I mean, youre acting [inaudible] does he owe the American People something now . And i think hes been very clear that he owes the American People a result thats going to lower costs and provide more access. Thats what he continues to work with speaker ryan on. I think the speaker was very clear on it that theyre having meetings both legislatively and at the principal level. And as you heard speaker ryan, we continue to be optimistic about competing this thing by the end of this year. Its a mammoth bill, what they passed, and weve got to make sure we get it right. Premiums have skyrocketed, access and options have gone down. We need to make sure we dont do this in a way thats going to end up with the same results. John roberts. On yemen, one of the worlds most wanted terrorists is taunting President Trump, calling him a fool after that race. Right. Any response from the white house and absolutely. That, he was not that was, the raid that was conducted in yemen was an intelligencegathering raid. Thats what it was. It was highly successful. It achieved the purpose it was going to get, saved the loss of life that we suffered in the injuries that occurred reporting that he was the target . Absolutely. He was not the goal of the railed was intelligence gathering. Of the raid. And thats what we received, thats what we got, thats why we can deem it a suck. John roberts. [inaudible] if the president does not prevail at the ninth Circuit Court of appeals, will he take this to the Supreme Court lets see where we go. I think hes made it i just finish . Yeah. Okay, im sorry. Is he concerned that if this does go to the Supreme Court with its current 44 makeup, that this temporary restraining order may become a little more permanent . Well, remember, tonight is about restraining order, were not i understand, but i think its important to explain this to everyone, john, because i know to you get it, and so many i just want to make sure. Tonight is about the restraining order. It has nothing to do with the merits of the case, and thats why i think we feel confident. The question is, does the restraining order get lifted or not. But regardless of what happens tonight, the merits of the case still need to be, to discuss. And i think the merits of the case as they were in boston are ones that we feel very confident on, because the law is Crystal Clear on this. The president has the authority to do this, it was done so in an interagency process that insured that all the appropriate people were consulted. We went through that with flying colors. I have zero concern that at the end of the day well be fine. Its just a question of going through the process. [inaudible conversations] and i get all that. Okay. But as you pointed out, but if he does not prevail, if the ninth circuit, will he take im not going to get lets see where it goes first. Our goal is to get to a point we can argue it on the merits. We feel confident based on how the court has reacted in massachusetts that were going to be good on the merits. Jonathan swan with. Sean, thanks for the question. Yeah. President trump still plan to immediately terminate president obamas executive [inaudible] with respect to what, daca and dapa . Ive said this before, well have further updates on that. I understand go ahead. Just you said immediately i understand. And ive said before the president will have further updates on both daca and dapa very shortly. Weve been very cheer on immigration what clear on immigration what the president s priorities would be. Theres going to be continued progress on the wall and on immigration as a whole, so were going to have plenty of time to address this. Right now hes trying to do it in a very systematic way in accordance to where we find the biggest problems. Hes been very clear in the past that those who are in this country that pose a threat to us or with a criminal record are where his priorities are going to be first and foremost, and were going to move through the rest of the folks in this country illegally. Sarah. Thank you, sean. The Ayatollah Khomeini said today that trump has, quote, helped iran reveal the true face of america. He says iran doesnt fear trump, and he encouraged iranians to march in the street against america later this week. Does the president have a response to those comments, and does he plan to take additional action against iran if its leaders continue to escalate i think the ayatollahs going to realize that there is a new president in office. This president s not going to sit by and let iran flout its violations or its apparent be violations to the joint agreement. But he will continue to take action as he sees fit. The president s also made clear time and time again that hes not going to project what those actions will be, and he will not take anything off the table. But i think iran is kidding itself if they dont realize theres a new president in town. John [inaudible] thank you, sean. On thursday, weather permitting, the president is going to meet with Airline Executives from throughout the country. Two complaints from Airline Executives as well as the Pilots Association have been, one, that Norwegian Airlines got a special advantage, a foreign carrier permit from the Obama Administration, and also that the airlines of the emirates9, the Arab Emirates are state subsidized, and both cases are violations of the blue skies act between the u. S. And the e. U. Is this something hes going to address, and is he considering upending president obamas foreign carrier permit . Well, again, thatll be something that thatll be decided when they meet, what theyll talk about. Obviously, the president s going to want to talk about Economic Growth and job creation, how hes enacting orders to make sure the countrys safe. On the case of norwegian, my understanding if im correct there is a deal in which theyre having 50 president of the crews and the 50 of the crews and pilots are american based, theyre flying boeing planes. Theres a huge economic interest that america has in that deal right now. I dont want to get ahead of the president on that. But just to be clear, i mean, we are talking about u. S. Jobs both in terms of the people who are, you know, serving those planes and the person whos building those planes. Thats a very big difference. Zeke. Sean, a few minutes ago you said the president wanted to remind the American People on how prevalent terrorist attacks are and that the earth is a dangerous place. That kind of breaks the rhetoric weve seen of [inaudible] bipartisan administrations have used when it comes to terrorist attacks, encouraging americans to go about their thats not yeah, his message to the American People is he is fully committed to doing everything he can to keep the country safe. And i think that theres a big difference between what youre saying and the point that he was making yesterday. And i think what hes getting at, he was making a point to the exposure that attacks get. And i think thats what he was getting at, is that we see these things, and theyre becoming too prevalent. And i think thats why he wants to become evervigilant, to make sure we dont ever get lax. We need to be reminded that places and groups like isis continue to seek to do us harm, and it is his job as commander in chief to do everything he can to get ahead of the curve and keep this country safe. I think when you look at the poll that came out last week, and i think it was 67 of the American People agreed with his proposition to put further restrictions on people. , to make sure that we have countries who are sending people to our country that they are coming here for peaceful purposes and that if we cant guarantee those countries have the proper vetting and systems in place when theyre outbound to the United States, then we need to do what we can. And he will do what he has to as president to make sure that this countrys safe. And that so i think theres a, the point that he was making was not, was not to put fear in anybody, but to rather reassure them that as president of the United States he is taking every single step to do what, to do what he has to to get ahead of the threat, to get ahead of the concerns so were not looking in the Rearview Mirror thinking what could we have done, that were preventing lives, where its the raid in whether its the raid in yemen, the law that hes enacting, hes going to do what he can to make sure the homeland is protected and safe. Mara. Thank you. I have two questions, one of on [inaudible] and one on health care. When the president tweeted if something happens, blame the judge and the court system, did he mean if a terrorist attack is committed by somebody from these seven countries or any terrorist attack should be blamed on the judge . I think the point that the tweet is pretty clear. But i think his point is that kind of dovetails what i was just saying to zeke. Hes doing everything he can, and he walks into office, theres seven countries that the Obama Administration has already identified as not having the proper systems in place to guarantee our safety. And i think his Immediate Reaction is to do what he has to do to make sure that were not looking back and saying you know what we should have done . We should have had stricter vetting in place for those seven countries. So he took immediate and Decisive Action to make sure this country and our people are protected. Making sure we dont have a regret that a month from now, two months from now or a year from now we havent done something to protect people. So he acted as quick and decisively as possible to make sure that we put the systems in place to protect our people. And that, i dont think theres any other way to read that. Yeah, len on health care, can i just get my of course. You just said hell negotiate price, and thats something he yeah he ran on negotiating prices for medicare drug prices, and i just want you to clarify because when he met with big pharma the other day, before the meeting he said we have no choice, we have of to get prices down. Right. After the meeting he said he would oppose anything that makes it harder for these companies to bring their drugs to market including price fixing by medicare. So is he for medicare negotiating drug prices or not . Hes for it, yes. Hes still for it. Absolutely. Okay. The president when you look at drug costs, and not just drug costs, the u. S. Government has not done frankly, the easier way to look at this is what other countries have done, negotiating costs to end keep those down. That drives up Health Care Costs for every american, but particularly theres a huge burden on americas seniors who are so much more reliant on drug prices. And i think in many cases you have People Living on a fixed income, and Health Care Costs, rising Health Care Costs and prescription drugs continue to be a burden on their ability to live out their lives in a much more enjoyable manner. And so his commitment is to make sure that he does what he can. And i think rather successfully uses his skills as a businessman to drive them down. Margaret. Sean, can you clarify two things. Secretary kerry kelly, excuse me, when he was on the hill today said that the administration right now is not looking at adding other countries to the temporary travel ban list. Is the white house still giving itself room to add some countries to that list . Well, i think what he, what his point was is that right now hes not doing it. You have to look at his testimony in context. I think he went through the fact that were still in this review process, that he is committed to making sure that we looked at all other countries. Be but as of this moment, there is no immediate desire to add to that. Hes looking at all the other countries, the procedures we have with them, the systems we have in place to check them. To nothing is final until the end of the review period. I had a second question. Oh, im sorry. So still leaving room to do that. Something that the president continues to say as a phrase, and im hoping you can define it for us, is that this is about who truly loves america. How do you quantify that . What is the president thinking of . Is that a specific test . What does that mean . Look, i think theres a i think president , you know, his goal is to make sure that people arent coming here to do us harm, that theyre going through the proper extreme vetting in cases where we dont have the information required to make a good judgment on them based on what their countrys willing to provide, that we are taking the proper, necessary steps to protect our people. But he doesnt if someones coming here to to do us harm oro espouse things that that would give us an indication theyre not coming here for the right reason, we need to, a, vet them, and, b, unless were 100 certain, keep them out of the country. Its a background check. Its a background check its not. To the sense that we can, extreme vetting is what hes talked about. If theres any cause for concern, he wants to go to every step possible to make sure that people who are entering this country are doing so because they want to come here for the right reasons and for peaceful reasons. Yeah. On korea [inaudible] south korean knows that trump is very good friend of theirs and [inaudible] most important part of [inaudible] what would what what is most important part of trump [inaudible] most parent part of important part of the policy. Thank you. He had a conversation the other day, and we look forward to fulfilling that conversation. I think, obviously, the threat of north korea is the most prominent issue that faces south korea and our alliance right now. He wants to reassure the south korean government that we are going to do what we can to make sure that we stand with south korea and that we prevent any further hostile actions from north korea. So i think that the safety of our country, of south korea, of the region are going to be, clearly, the greatest focus of yeah. [inaudible] when the president submits his budget, is he committed to pushing congress to approve sufficient funding for all American Students to have either an outstanding Public School education or the public funding for them to reach an outstanding private School Education . Look, i think the president s talked extensively about education during the primary, whether its, you know, an associates degree, a bachelors degree, ph. D. Or votechnical education that weve got to give students these days the options they need for the work force, that a votech education isome cases is whats in the interest of students in terms of their success and giving them the skills to work on cars or become a computer engineer or whatever. But as we head into, as we look towards the future, weve got to make sure that were preparing our students to have the skill set that they need. And its also the retraining aspect of that, that as people get older and Certain Industries start to turn the corner because of technology that were allowing people the opportunity for restraining to retraining to give them the skill sets they need to continue to be productive. As you will see, look, we literally will swear in the secretary of education hopefully later this evening, which we will let you all know, probably around the 5 or 6 00 hour, but thatll be something hes going to continue to have a conversation with secretary devos about. And its unfortunate we havent been able to have this conversation sooner because it was held up for so long, but i think thats something that secretary devos will be speaking a lot about, about the Education Funding and skill set and opportunities that we
