1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,000
STATECRAFT AT THIS POINT WITH

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,000
RUSSIA.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
IF IN FACT RUSSIA ENGAGED IN

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
THIS ACTIVITY, IT'S A LONG LIST

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,000
OF ISSUES THAT ME AND VLADIMIR

6
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
PUTIN TALK ABOUT.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH IT.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I DON'T THINK IT WILDLY SWINGS

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
WHAT IS A TOUGH, DIFFICULT

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT GOING TO STOP US FROM

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
TRYING TO PURSUE SOLUTIONS SO

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
THAT WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE MINSK

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
AGREEMENT AND GET RUSSIA AND

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
THOSE SEPARATISTS TO LAY DOWN

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
ARMS AND STOP BULLYING UKRAINE.

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
IT WON'T STOP US FROM BRINGING A

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
POLITICAL TRANSITION INSIDE

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
SYRIA THAT CAN AND THE HARDSHIP

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
THERE.

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
PRIME MINISTER LEE: CAN I SAY

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
SOMETHING ABOUT TPP?

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO YOUR

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
DOMESTIC POLITICS.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
LOOKING AT SOMEONE WHO IS

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN INTIMATELY

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
INVOLVED IN TRIGGERED THE WHOLE

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
PROCESS, IT HAS BECOME THIS

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
IMPORTANT INITIATIVE.

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
THE ECONOMIC ARGUMENTS FOR THE

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
TPP IN TERMS OF TRADE, I THINK

31
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
THE PRESIDENT HAS PRESENTED THEM

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
ELOQUENTLY.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
IT IS A DEAL THE COUNTRIES HAVE

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000
NEGOTIATED.
EACH ONE PROVIDES MARKET ACCESS

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
ON THEIR SIDE IN RETURN FOR

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
GAINING MARKET ACCESS ON THE

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
OTHER SIDE.

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
THEY ARE COMMITTING TO RULES.

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
IT IS A HARD FOUGHT BARGAINING

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
ROSS US.

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
THE NEGOTIATORS SPENT MANY TRIPS

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
AND NIGHTS AND MANY DAWNS AND

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
FIND OUT.

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
AT THE AND OF IT, EVERYBODY MUST

45
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
DECIDE IS A PLUS OR MINUS FOR

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
THEM? IN YOUR CASE, I THINK MIKE

47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
FROMAN DID A VERY GOOD JOB.

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
OURS DID THE BEST THEY COULD

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
BRING BACK SOMETHING THE

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
POLITICAL LEADERSHIP COULD STAND

51
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
BY AND SUPPORT.

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
IT'S AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT ALL THE

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
MEMBERS OF THE TPP AT THE END OF

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
THIS ARE STILL WITH US.

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
NOBODY HAS STRUCK OUT OF THIS.

56
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
THERE IS SOMETHING IN IT FOR

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
EACH ONE OF US.

58
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE

59
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
OTHER SIDE OF THE ECONOMIC

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
BENEFIT.

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I AM EXPORTING.

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I AM EARNING A JOB.

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
I AM SPENDING AND I AM CONSUMING

64
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
AND IMPORTING AND BECAUSE OF

65
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
THIS, I AM GETTING A WIDER RANGE

66
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND

67
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL IMPROVE.

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT WALMART WITH

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
PRODUCT COMING FROM ALL OVER

70
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
ASIA.

71
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
WHO BENEFITS?

72
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
PEOPLE IN AMERICA.

73
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
NOT JUST EXPORTERS.

74
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
THESE ARE PART OF YOUR INVISIBLE

75
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
STANDARD OF LIVING.

76
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
IT IS REAL AND IT IS VALUABLE.

77
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
IN TERMS OF THE ECONOMIC

78
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
BENEFITS, THE TPP IS A BIG DEAL.

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
IN TERMS OF AMERICA'S ENGAGEMENT

80
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
IN THE REGION, YOU HAVE PUT A

81
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
REPUTATION ON THE LINE.

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
IT IS THE BIG THING WHICH

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
AMERICA IS DOING IN THE

84
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
ASIA-PACIFIC WITH THE OBAMA

85
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
ADMINISTRATION.

86
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
PARTNERS, YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE

87
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000
COME TO THE TABLE WHO HAVE

88
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
NEGOTIATED, EACH ONE OF THEM HAS

89
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
OVERCOME SOME OBJECTION, SOME

90
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
SENSITIVITY, SOME POLITICAL COST

91
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
TO COME TO THE TABLE AND MAKE

92
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
THIS DEAL.

93
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
IF THE BRIDE DOESN'T ARRIVE, I

94
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
THINK PEOPLE WILL FEEL VERY

95
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
HURT.

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
IT SEVERAL OF HIS PREDECESSORS

97
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
THOUGHT SERIOUSLY ABOUT

98
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
PARTICIPATING IN THE TPP.

99
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
THEY WALKED AWAY.

100
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,000
HE WANTS TO HELP.

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
HE WANTS HIS COUNTRY TO BENEFIT

102
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
AND TO OPEN UP ITS MARKET.

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
THIS IS ONE WAY TO DO THAT.

104
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
YOU DON'T DO THIS.

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
IT HURTS RELATIONSHIP WITH

106
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
JAPAN.

107
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
IT HURTS YOUR SHOULD.
AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN AND THE

108
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
JAPANESE LIVING IN ON AN

109
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
UNCERTAIN WORLD.

110
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
THEY ARE DEPENDING ON THE

111
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
AMERICAN NUCLEAR UMBRELLA.

112
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
ON LIFE-AND-DEATH, WHOM DO I

113
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000
HAVE TO DEPEND ON?

114
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
THIS WILL NOT BE SET OPENLY.

115
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I HAVE NO DOUBT.

116
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I THINK IF YOU GO BEYOND THAT, I

117
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
WOULD LIKE THE TEA PEOPLE

118
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
QUESTION WITH AN EARLIER

119
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
QUESTION.

120
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
WHERE DO WE GO FOR THE NEXT 50

121
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
YEARS?

122
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
THAT DEPENDS IF WE GO TOWARD

123
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
INTERDEPENDENCE AND THEREFORE

124
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
PEACEFUL COOPERATION OR WE GO

125
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
FOR SELF-SUFFICIENCY, RIVALRY, A

126
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
HIGHER RISK OF CONFLICT.

127
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,000
ASIA HAS TRIED BOTH.

128
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
THE WORLD HAS TRIED BOTH.

129
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
IN THE 1930'S, WITH A VERY

130
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
DIFFICULT INTERNATIONAL

131
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
ENVIRONMENT, YOU HAD A RIVALRY
WITH JAPAN WHICH LED TO WAR.

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
AFTER THE WAR, BECAUSE AMERICA

133
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
WAS OPEN AND BECAUSE YOU

134
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
PROMOTED TRADE AND YOU

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
ENCOURAGED INVESTMENT AND OTHER

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
COUNTRIES TO OPEN UP, THE

137
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
ASIA-PACIFIC HAS BEEN PEACEFUL.

138
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
IF OVER THE NEXT 50 YEARS YOU

139
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARD

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
INTERDEPENDENCE AND COOPERATION

141
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
AND NEUTRAL PROSPERITY, WE CAN

142
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
SAY THESE HAVE BEEN PEACEFUL

143
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
YEARS AND WE HAVE MADE FURTHER

144
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
PROGRESS TOGETHER.

145
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
IF YOU GO IN THE OPPOSITE

146
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
DIRECTION AND YOU DECIDE THAT

147
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
THIS WILL SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

148
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
I THINK THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENT

149
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
WORLD.

150
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY YOU DON'T

151
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
HAVE A MANAGEABLE RELATIONSHIP

152
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
WITH CHINA NOW IS BECAUSE YOU

153
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
HAVE TRADE.

154
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
IT IS MUTUALLY THAT OFFICIAL.

155
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
BOTH SIDES WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT

156
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
RELATIONSHIP.

157
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
IF YOU DIDN'T, IT WOULD BE LIKE

158
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
THE SOVIET UNION DURING THE COLD

159
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
WAR.

160
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
YOU STILL HAD TO FIND WAYS TO

161
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
WORK TOGETHER, BUT IT'S MUCH

162
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
HARDER.

163
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
THE TPP DOES NOT INCLUDE CHINA.

164
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
IT POINTS THE DIRECTION TOWARD

165
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000
THE WORLD.

166
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
IF YOU SET THE WRONG DIRECTION,

167
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS MAYBE YOU

168
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
WILL TURN AROUND, BUT IT WILL

169
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
COST YOU MANY YEARS IN THE WORLD

170
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
WILL HAVE TO PAY QUITE A HIGH

171
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
PRICE.

172
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
>> I AM FROM THE BUSINESS TIMES

173
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
IN SINGAPORE.

174
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
GOOD AFTERNOON.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

175
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE STAKES

176
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
ARE.

177
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE TPP IF

178
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
IT DOES NOT GET RATIFIED DURING

179
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
THE LAME-DUCK SESSION?

180
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
THE FEAR IS THAT IF THINGS WAIT

181
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
TOO LONG, IT MIGHT NEED TO BE

182
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
OPENED UP FOR RE-NEGOTIATION.
HOW CAN WE REASSURE THE NATIONS

183
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
AND THE PEOPLE THERE IS THE

184
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
POLITICAL WILL TO GET THIS DONE

185
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?

186
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
THE SECOND QUESTION IS FOR

187
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
PRESIDENT OBAMA.

188
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
WE ARE ALMOST AT THE END OF YOUR

189
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

190
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO EVALUATE

191
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
PROGRESS REGARDING A SHIP.

192
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
WHAT IS THE THING YOU'RE MOST

193
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
PROUD OF?

194
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD HAVE

195
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
DONE IT DIFFERENTLY?

196
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TO YOUR

197
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
SUCCESSOR TO ENGAGE SINGAPORE,

198
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
SOUTHEAST ASIA, THE

199
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
ASIA-PACIFIC?

200
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
PRIME MINISTER LEE: WITH RESPECT

201
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
--

202
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
PRESIDENT OBAMA: WITH RESPECT TO

203
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
TPP, I THOUGHT PRIME MINISTER

204
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
LEE'S POINTS WERE RIGHT ON

205
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
TARGET.
THIS IS AN ECONOMIC AGREEMENT.

206
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IN HISTORY

207
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
IS YOU CAN'T SEPARATE ECONOMICS

208
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
AND ISSUES AND SECURITY ISSUES.

209
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
THE PRIME MINISTER IS RIGHT.

210
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
WE HAVE BENEFITED FROM A NORM US

211
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
ENORMOUS PEACE AND PROSPERITY

212
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
AROUND THE WORLD.

213
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000
WE HAVE HAD AN UNPRECEDENTED
TIME WHERE THE GREAT POWERS

214
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
WERE NOT ENGAGED IN CONFLICT.

215
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
THIS WAS IN PART AS A GROWING

216
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
INTERDEPENDENCE.

217
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE PARTS
OF THE WORLD WHERE WE STILL SEE

218
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
CONFLICT, WHERE WE STILL SEE

219
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
HIGH LEVELS OF VIOLENCE, THEY

220
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
ARE PLACES THAT ARE LESS

221
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
INTEGRATED INTO THE WORLD

222
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
ECONOMY.

223
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT.

224
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
THERE IS A POWERFUL ECONOMIC

225
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
CASE, A BREAD-AND-BUTTER CASE

226
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
ABOUT WHY THIS IS GOOD FOR

227
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
AMERICAN WORKERS.

228
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
IT'S ULTIMATELY GOOD FOR

229
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
AMERICAN WAGES IF IT'S

230
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
STRUCTURED PROPERLY.

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR

232
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
PEOPLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE

233
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
ALTERNATIVE IS NOT TPP OR SOME

234
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
IMAGINARY CIRCUMSTANCE IN WHICH

235
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
SOMETHING WE ARE ABLE TO SELL

236
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
GOODS AROUND THE WORLD WHEREVER

237
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000
WE WANT BUT NOBODY IS ABLE TO

238
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
SELL GOODS TO US.

239
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
WE CAN OPERATE ANYWHERE AROUND

240
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
THE WORLD.
THAT IS NOT THE ALTERNATIVE.

241
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
THE ALTERNATIVE IS WHAT WE HAVE

242
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
TODAY.

243
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
A SITUATION IN WHICH WE DON'T

244
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
HAVE AS MANY PROTECTIONS AROUND

245
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
ABER AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AS

246
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
WE WOULD LIKE.

247
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
A SITUATION IN WHICH THERE ARE

248
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
COUNTRIES LIKE JAPAN THAT SELL A

249
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
LOT OF GOODS HERE, BUT KEEP

250
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
RESTRICTED ACCESS FOR U.S.

251
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
COMPANIES AND U.S. WORKERS TO

252
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
THEIR MARKETS.

253
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
PRIME MINISTER LEE IS RIGHT.

254
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN IS

255
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
TAKING SOME RISKS BECAUSE HE

256
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
KNOWS HE NEEDS TO MAKE HIS

257
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
ECONOMY MORE COMPETITIVE.

258
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
THIS WILL OPEN UP ACCESS WE

259
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
HAVEN'T SEEN IN THE PAST.

260
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
THAT IS A BIG MARKET.

261
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
IT IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP THREE

262
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD.

263
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
THE LAST POINT I WOULD MAKE

264
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
AROUND THIS IS CHINA.

265
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
AS PRIME MINISTER LEE MENTIONED,

266
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
CHINA IS NOT PART OF THE TPP.

267
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
IF WE DON'T ESTABLISH STRONG

268
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
RULES AND NORMS FOR HAVE TRADE

269
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
AND COMMERCE IS CONDUCTED IN THE

270
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
ASIA-PACIFIC REGION, CHINA WILL.

271
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
CHINA IS ENGAGING ALL THE

272
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
COUNTRIES IN THE REGION AROUND

273
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
ITS OWN VERSION OF TRADE

274
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000
AGREEMENTS.

275
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT LABOR

276
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
STANDARDS OR ENVIRONMENTAL

277
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
STANDARDS OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING

278
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
OR ANTICORRUPTION MEASURES.

279
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
YOU GET A LOW STANDARD, LOWEST

280
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
COMMON DENOMINATOR TRADE DEAL.

281
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
IF AMERICA IS IT CREATING HIGH

282
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
STANDARDS, CHINA'S RULES WILL

283
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
GOVERN IN THE FASTEST-GROWING

284
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
PART OF THE WORLD.

285
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
THAT'S BAD FOR US ECONOMICALLY.

286
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
IT'S ALSO BAD FOR SECURITY

287
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
INTERESTS.

288
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
IT'S BAD FOR THE INTERESTS IN

289
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
PROMOTING NORMS AGAINST CHILD

290
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
LABOR OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR

291
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
MAKING SURE EVERYBODY IS WORKING

292
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
HARDER TO RAISE CONSERVATION

293
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
STANDARDS.

294
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
THAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE.

295
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
THOSE ARE THE OPTIONS.

296
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO

297
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
GET THIS DONE.

298
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
NOTHING IN LIFE IS CERTAIN.

299
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
WE'VE GOT A GOOD TRACK RECORD OF

300
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
GETTING STUFF DONE WHEN I THINK

301
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
IT'S IMPORTANT.

302
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
I WILL SAY THIS: THIS IS NOT

303
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000
JUST AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

304
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
INITIATIVE.

305
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
THIS CONCEPT BEGAN IN A

306
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.

307
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
WE PUSHED IT THROUGH.

308
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
WE MADE IT HAPPEN.

309
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
WE MADE SURE THAT THE THINGS

310
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
THAT I CARE ABOUT WERE

311
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
INCORPORATED INTO IT.

312
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
HISTORICALLY THIS IS HAD STRONG

313
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

314
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
WE WILL GO OUT THERE AND MAKE

315
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
THOSE ARGUMENTS.

316
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
I THINK WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

317
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
IN TERMS OF MY BALANCED LEGACY,

318
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
ACROSS THE BOARD, WE ARE IN THE

319
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
GAME.

320
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
WE ARE FOCUSED ON ASIA AND AWAY

321
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
WE WEREN'T WHEN I CAME INTO

322
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
OFFICE.

323
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
THE COUNTRIES HAVE NOTICED.

324
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
OUR ALLIANCES ARE STRONG.

325
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
OUR SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS ARE

326
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
DEEPER.

327
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
WHETHER IN AUSTRALIA OR THE

328
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
PHILIPPINES OR SINGAPORE, OUR

329
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
DEFENSE BUDGETS REFLECT OUR

330
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
COMMITMENT TO THINGS LIKE

331
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
MARITIME SECURITY IN THE REGION.

332
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
THE CONTINUING EFFORTS AROUND

333
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000
BUILDING THE EAST ASIA SUMMIT

334
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
ARCHITECTURE MEANS THERE IS

335
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
DAY-TO-DAY ATTENTION AROUND A

336
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
BUNCH OF ISSUES WHETHER IT'S

337
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
DISASTER RELIEF OR PUBLIC HEALTH

338
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
OR COUNTERTERRORISM.

339
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
THERE ARE CONSULTATIONS TODAY

340
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000
THAT WEREN'T TAKING PLACE EIGHT

341
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
YEARS AGO.

342
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
ON EVERY DIMENSION, WE ARE A

343
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
MUCH STRONGER POSITION TO

344
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,000
ENGAGE, INFLUENCE, AND LEARN

345
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000
FROM OUR ASIA-PACIFIC PARTNERS.

346
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
THE THING I ENJOYED MOST WAS OUR

347
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
YOUNG SOUTHEAST ASIAN LEADERS

348
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
PROGRAM.

349
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
WHENEVER I MEET WITH THE YOUNG

350
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
PEOPLE, I AM INSPIRED.

351
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
IT MAKES ME VERY OPTIMISTIC

352
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
ABOUT THE FUTURE AND WHAT'S

353
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
GOING TO HAPPEN.

354
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
IF YOU ASK THEM ABOUT THE FUTURE

355
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
THEY WANT TO SEE, THEY ARE VERY

356
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
MUCH COMMITTED TO AN

357
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
INTERDEPENDENT WORLD, A WORLD IN

358
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
WHICH PEOPLE ARE LEARNING AND

359
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
EXCHANGING IDEAS AND ENGAGED IN

360
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL

361
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
EXCHANGE.

362
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
AND A WORLD IN WHICH PEOPLE'S

363
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
DIFFERENT CULTURES AND

364
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
BACKGROUNDS ARE A SOURCE OF

365
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
ASENGTH AND COOPERATION

366
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
OPPOSED TO CONFLICT AND FEAR.

367
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
AND THAT IS TRUE IN SOUTHEAST

368
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
ASIA, IN AFRICA, LATIN AMERICA.

369
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000
THAT'S TRUE IN EUROPE.

370
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
LOT OF THIS FEAR, THE CHOICE

371
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
THAT WAS POSED BY PRIME MINISTER

372
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
THAT ISELF-SUFFICIENCY

373
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
NOT ACHIEVABLE AND ULTIMATELY

374
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000
RIVALRY AND CONFLICT, THOSE WHO

375
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
OPT FOR RIVALRY ARE FOLKS WHO

376
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
ARE LOOKING BACKWARDS.

377
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,000
