Reporter: Will Hamas be [inaudible] it's weapons? That's a key part of the next step.

President Trump [Air Force One]: That's starting, because we're getting into Phase 2, and that's starting. You have to understand, Hamas is a very small part of the overall Middle-East peace. You have peace in the Middle-East. If we have to, we'll take out Hamas very easily, and that'll be the end of Hamas. We would rather not. We made a deal with them, where they were going to behave. They have to behave. If they don't behave, they get taken out. And it could be from numerous countries. It could be from Israel, but it could also be from other countries. Numerous countries have already called me, that are parties to the deal, and said we'd love to do it if you want us to. And these are powerful countries. These aren't countries to be toyed with.

Reporter: Speaker Johnson says you're trolling when you talk about a third term. Are you trolling, or are you serious?

President Trump: I don't think he said that. I don't think he'd use that term, but it's a very interesting thing. I have the best numbers for any president in many years. Any president. And I would say that, you read it, it's pretty clear; I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad. But we have a lot of great people.

President Trump: I think she's a terrific woman [Sanae Takaichi]. First woman ever to be prime minister of Japan, and she'll go down as one of the really great ones. You know, I had a fantastic relationship with Shinzo Abe, the prime minister who was assassinated. Horribly assassinated. He was a great man. And he was my best relationship. And she comes from that exact camp. He would have supported her had he been around. I played golf with him, and they gave me the putter that he played with. And he putted very well that day, I remember.

President Trump [APEC Luncheon]: One year ago, our country was in very, very serious trouble. Some people thought our country was dead. Now we're literally the; sort of an inspiration to a lot of other countries.

President Trump: The United States is blessed with the, right now, the strongest economy, the strongest border; this all happened over the last nine months, the strongest military, the strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation on the face of the Earth. This is a Golden Age.

President Trump: But even during this period of; a little bit of a transition, you could call it, because I think we're an economic revolution in America, we went at 3.8 percent, we're up 3.8 percent GDP, triple, and even quadruple the rate that a lot of people thought we'd be.

President Trump: Factories are booming in the USA, and manufacturing productivity is rising five times faster than it was just one year ago. Steel production is way up by over one hundred and fifty-five thousand tons a week. Oil production is through the roof, at half a million barrels a day. And mining of clean, beautiful coal, is up by 2.6 million tons every single month.

President Trump: We're reclaiming our heritage as a nation of builders and doers, and we're pioneers in a sense, but we're really doing it again, but we're doing it even better than we did the first time, which is the first couple of hundred years. And we're pursuing this vision with unrelenting drive, and, really, unprecedented success.

President Trump: If you look, one hundred percent of all new jobs created in America under my administration have been created by the private sector. Think of that- the government created no new jobs. The private sector created the record number of jobs that we're talking about.. That's a country. That's really a success. It's easy to create government jobs. I could say, 'add a lot of people to your payrolls'. I can fake up the numbers if I want, but that's not the way you build a great country.

President Trump: I'll tell you what we have a long lead on, is submarines. Nuclear submarines. We are so far advanced on that by, perhaps twenty, twenty-five years. We're twenty-five years ahead of any competition.

President Trump: Here we are, we're doing deals, so you add an extra sentence. And you say you have to stop shooting at each other [India/Pakistan]. Seven planes were shot down. You have to stop the war. And they stopped the war. And if weren't for the tariffs; I said I was going to put two hundred and fifty percent tariffs on each country, which means that you'll never do business…you say we're going to put two hundred and fifty percent tariffs if you don't stop the war. And they understood that, and within forty-eight hours, we had no war. No people killed. Makes me feel so good…we've used trade to create peace in a lot of different locations.

President Trump: True success comes from having the confidence and the courage to prove the doubters wrong, and oftentimes you'll go the opposite way of almost everybody, and you'll be the one that's right, and the others will be the one that's wrong. And that's where you have your greatest successes.

President Trump: We're strengthening old friendships, forging new bonds, building new factories, pioneering new industries, and creating a dramatically better world for our children and for generations to come. Together we will build a future of strong independent nations on both sides of the vast ocean, joined by our common interests, united by common values, and reaching constantly toward a richer, safer, and more peaceful Pacific, with fairness, persistence, and common sense. That's such an important two words. We will build together, we will trade together, we will prosper together, we will thrive together, and above all, we will Win, Win, Win together, like never before. We're going to have an incredible relationship together for generations to come.
