Luncheon Hosted by the Secretary-General of the UN(Sep.25,2018)

We covered, as you know, during my speech, North Korea.  Last year, my tone was somewhat different on North Korea than it is right now.  Tremendous progress has been made.  And I think you’re going to see an outcome.  As the expression goes, “Who knows?”  But I think you’re going to see a very, very great outcome.

I hope that, eventually, some of the other countries that we have conflict with ? if not war-like conflict, trade conflict, other types of conflict ? a lot of those problems will disappear, I think, by next year.

FFVD(Final Fully Verified Denuclearization of North Korea) 

Trump’s Meeting with President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea

ISSUED ON: SEPTEMBER 24, 2018

 

?Today, President Donald J. Trump met with President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea in New York. President Moon shared with President Trump the outcomes of the September 2018 inter-Korean summit, which included Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Chairman Kim Jong Un’s reiteration of his commitment to complete denuclearization. President Trump commended President Moon on conducting a successful third inter-Korean summit with Chairman Kim, and noted that there remained much work to be done to accomplish their mutual goal of achieving the final, fully verified denuclearization of North Korea. The two leaders agreed on the importance of maintaining vigorous enforcement of existing sanctions to ensure North Korea understands that denuclearization is the only path to economic prosperity and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula. Both leaders also discussed plans for a second summit between President Trump and Chairman Kim in the not too distant future and committed to closely coordinate on next steps.

 

Remarks by President Trump and President Moon of the Republic of Korea at U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement Signing Ceremony

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. I’m thrilled to be here today with President Moon of South Korea to formally announce the successful completion of the new U.S.-Korea trade deal. It’s a very big deal. This is a great day for the United States and a great day for South Korea.

 

I want to thank President and Vice President. Mr. President, I’d like to thank you very much. I’d like to thank our great Vice President Pence for joining us today for the ceremony, and U.S. Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer for his incredible efforts. He’s worked very, very hard on this. Thank you as well to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, and Director of National Economic Council Larry Kudlow, for their tremendous work. Everybody has worked very, very hard. This is long in coming. Many years, actually - I will say - in coming.

 

In a few moments, we will sign a document pledging that our countries will take the additional necessary steps to implement the new United States-Korea trade agreement. I want to express my gratitude to President Moon and his entire team for their dedicated efforts to reach, really, what we would call a historic milestone in trade ? something that most people thought was not going to be happening.

 

From day one, I promised the American people that I would renegotiate our trade deals to ensure that our agreements were fair and reciprocal. For decades, politicians have talked about fixing broken trade deals only to do absolutely nothing about them. My administration is the first to actually keep our promise and deliver. And in addition to this deal, we have many in the works, and they’re fair deals. They’re reciprocal deals. And they make a tremendous difference to our workers, our companies, and to the United States as a whole.

 

The new U.S.-Korea agreement includes significant improvements to reduce our trade deficit and to expand opportunities to export American products to South Korea. In other words, we are now going to start sending products to South Korea.

 

These outcomes give the finest American-made automobiles, innovative medicines, and agricultural crops much better access to Korean markets. I think our farmers are going to be extremely happy. It was very limited as to what they could do and what they could send. And now it’s a open market, and they’re going to be sending a lot more farm products. That makes me feel very good. I love our farmers.

 

As a part of this agreement, we have also secured increased access to America’s auto industry. South Korea will double the annual number of American cars sold within. In other words, we used to sell a maximum of 25, and we wouldn’t even get to that number, and now we’re going to 50,000. We’re doubling it, per manufacturer. And that’s a doubling. So it’s 50,000 per manufacturer - cars. And that’s each year.

 

So that’s a doubling of the cars per manufacturer that can enter its market, meeting U.S. safety standards. So we’re going with, now, a U.S. safety standard. The standard was at a point that you couldn’t get cars in. So we’re going to the U.S. safety standard. Very important to understand.

 

This agreement will reduce bureaucracy and increase prosperity in both of our countries. Workers in South Korea and America will find new customers and new opportunities to expand and grow. Our teams will be working hard to ensure that the terms of the deal are fully implemented.

 

President Moon, I just want to tell you we’ve developed a great relationship on many different fronts. This one is on trade, but we’re working very well on North Korea. A lot of very positive things are happening with Chairman Kim of North Korea. And you’ll be hearing about that over the coming weeks. But I think some really, really important things are happening.

 

As I said just a little while ago, we have an agreement to work out another summit. And we look forward to doing that. I’m going to be meeting with Chairman Kim in the not too distant future. The location is being worked on, the time is being worked on, and we’ll be announcing it.

 

As far as these negotiations, our two countries have set an example of friendship and cooperation for trade that rarely you see in this age. And I just want to tell you I’m very honored to be a part of it, and I’m honored to call you a friend. And I’m honored to say that the United States and South Korea have a great friendship together. Thank you very much.

Mr. President, thank you very much.

 

PRESIDENT MOON: (As interpreted.) The Republic of Korea and the United States have been forging an unprecedentedly close friendship based on our rock-solid alliance. The free trade agreement between the Republic of Korea and the United States is significant in the sense that it expands the ROK-U.S. alliance to the economic realm as well.

Today we have made amendments and modifications to improve the existing agreement. With the swift conclusion of the negotiations for the revision, uncertainty surrounding our FTA have been eliminated. And, as a result, companies from both countries will now be able to do business under more stable conditions.

In addition, I’m hopeful that this will provide us with a platform upon which our bilateral economic ties will be elevated to a higher level in a freer, fairer, and more mutually beneficial direction.

If our two countries could live up to the spirit embodied in the revised ROK-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, I believe that we will be able to expand mutual trade and investment, create new jobs, and usher in a better future. I hope the revision of the ROK-U.S. FTA will also contribute towards solidifying our cooperation in other fields.

I would like to thank President Trump for his leadership role in ensuring the successful conclusion of the negotiations for the revision of this agreement.

I would also like to commend all the members of our respective negotiating teams. Thank you.

 

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I’ve never seen my name in Korean. (Laughter.) Looks nice.

(The agreement is signed.)

 

Thank you everybody. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Q Mr. President, how confident are you that Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed now?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, we hope he’s going to be confirmed. He’s a fine, fine man. A great scholar and great at everything he’s ever done. And it would be sad, indeed, if something happened to reroute that. This is a fine man. And we certainly hope he’s going to be confirmed, and quickly.

His family has suffered. His family has suffered. What’s going on is not something that should happen. Brett Kavanaugh is as absolute outstanding person. Hopefully, he will be confirmed quickly. Thank you very much.

Remarks by President Trump and President Moon of the Republic of Korea Before Bilateral Meeting

 

United Nations Headquarters, New York, New York, 2:50 P.M. EDT

 

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. It’s a great honor to be with a very good friend of mine, President Moon of South Korea. We’re having a very important set of discussions today, tomorrow, and the next day. We’ve been having them for quite some time since you first gained office. And you’re doing a terrific job. And I think we’re doing a terrific job together.

We’ve had terrific talks on trade. And we’ll be signing, in a little while, a very important trade agreement with South Korea and the United States. And I think it’s a very exciting event.

It was a long time in coming, and it’s a basic redoing of the agreement that was done before, which was a very unfair agreement for the United States. And I think that President Moon and myself, we’re very happy. It’s great for South Korea. It’s great for the United States. It’s great for both.

We also talked, obviously, about North Korea, where we’re making tremendous progress. Chairman Kim has been really very open and terrific, frankly. And I think he wants to see something happen. So we have done — I think, mutually, we’ve done very well with respect to North Korea. And we’ll be discussing that during the next couple of days. We’ll be certainly discussing it now.

But I just want to say it’s a great honor to have President Moon with us. And thank you very much, Mr. President, for coming. Thank you.

 

PRESIDENT MOON: (As interpreted.) Well, thank you, Mr. President. It’s a pleasure to see you again, four months after our meeting in Washington, in May.

Thanks for your support. I had a great trip to Pyongyang. We reached a good agreement between the two Koreas, and achieved progress on denuclearization of North Korea.

There was also a message from Chairman Kim that he wanted me to convey to you, and I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to meet you and give you a readout of the discussions I had with Chairman Kim Jong Un immediately after returning from Pyongyang. I hope it will contribute to the efforts to achieve complete denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula, as well as to the U.S.-North Korea dialogue at your second summit with Chairman Kim.

In particular, it’s hugely significant that Chairman Kim personally expressed his commitment to denuclearization in front of the world media, and that I highlighted once again the denuclearization agreement reached with Chairman Kim in front of 150,000 citizens of Pyongyang.

Now, North Korea’s decision to relinquish its nuclear program has been officialized to a degree that not even those within North Korea can reverse.

Thanks to your bold decision and new approach, we are in the process of solving a problem that no one has been able to solve in the decades past. I’d like to thank you for this, Mr. President.

And Chairman Kim also repeatedly conveyed his unwavering trust and expectations for you, while expressing his hope to meet you soon to swiftly conclude the denuclearization process with you, because you are, indeed, the only person who can solve this problem.

I look forward to seeing the U.S.-North Korea summit take place, and wish you a great success.

As for the revision of the free trade agreement between our two countries, I believe that it’s significant because it means that our alliance is being expanded to the economic realm as well. And I’m very pleased that we have revised this agreement to achieve a freer, a fairer, and more mutually beneficial agreement. And through this agreement, I hope that the bilateral economic ties will be promoted even further. Thank you.

 

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

We’ll be having a second summit with Chairman Kim in the not too distant future. Our Secretary of State will be dealing with that subject. Mike Pompeo has been in touch with them, and we’ve been in touch with them. And I think within a fairly — pretty short period of time, that will be announced and it will be location to be determined.

But we’re both very much looking forward to having it. It will be between North Korea and the United States. It will be similar to the format we had before, most likely a different location. Again, it will be announced pretty soon.

I think a lot of progress is being made. I see tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of Chairman Kim for making a deal, and I think that that’s something that’s very good. We are in no rush. There’s no hurry. We got back three months ago or so. I think we’ve made more progress than anybody has made in — ever, frankly, with regard to North Korea.

I really believe North Korea has tremendous economic potential. And I believe that Chairman Kim and the people of North Korea want to see that potential arrived at, and we will help them to that end. And the relationship is very good; in fact, in some ways, it’s extraordinary. We’ll see what happens. But we will be having a second summit in the not too distant future. Okay? Thank you all very much.

 

Q Are you going to fire Rod Rosenstein?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No, I’m meeting with Rod Rosenstein on Thursday when I get back from all of these meetings. And we’ll be meeting at the White House, and we’ll be determining what’s going on. We want to have transparency; we want to have openness. And I look forward to meeting with Rod at that time. Okay?

 

Q What do you want to do with Mr. Rosenstein? What would you like to do —

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, we’re going to have a meeting on Thursday when I get back. Right now, today, we’re meeting with a lot of great people, including President Moon. And we’re — over the next couple of days, as you know, we’re meeting with many countries. Tomorrow we’re giving a big speech, but I’ll be back on Thursday. And when I get back, we’re going to have meeting. I’ve spoke with Rod today, and we’re going to have meeting on Thursday when I get back to the White House.

I want to say, the country, the United States — as President Moon pointed out when we first met — the United States is doing better economically than we’ve ever done before. The numbers are outstanding. New numbers will be released that I think will just continue this forward march. And I think we have tremendous potential on the upside.

I’m very excited about our new trade agreement. And this is a brand new agreement. This is not an old one, rewritten. This is a brand new agreement. And I’m very excited about that for the United States, and I really believe it’s good for both countries.

But the numbers that we’re doing in the United States, whether it be unemployment numbers or whether it be employment numbers — we have right now, this moment, more people working in the United States than ever before in our history. That’s some number, Mike, right? And, you know, it’s a number that people did not expect to see. It’s a number that nobody thought would happen, certainly within two years. We’re not even up to two years of the administration. So we have more people working in the United States today than we’ve ever had.

Our unemployment numbers are among the best they’ve ever had. For African American, it’s the lowest we’ve ever had. For Asian American, for Hispanics, the lowest we’ve ever had. And we’re very proud of that.

And on top of that, we have many companies moving back into the United States. In most cases, it’s back. They left and now they’re coming back. They all want to be where the action is.

So I appreciate your kind words, but our economy is the envy right now of the world. We’re the fastest growing economy in the world. Think of it. As large as we are, we’re the fastest growing economy in the world. Up $10 trillion. So we’re very proud of that. Thank you very much everybody. END 3:02 P.M. EDT

 

 

President Donald J. Trump is Fulfilling His Promise on the United States–Korea Free Trade Agreement and on National Security Issued on: September 24, 2018

 

We want to make a deal that’s fair for the United States and fair for South Korea.

President Donald J. Trump

 

IMPROVING BAD TRADE DEALS: President Donald J. Trump has fulfilled his promise to fight for American workers and businesses in an amended trade deal with South Korea.

In July 2017, at the direction of the President, United States Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer initiated discussions to amend the United States–Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), setting off multiple rounds of negotiations.

Since KORUS went into effect in 2012, USTR calculated that the overall trade deficit between the United States and Korea has increased from $6.3 billion to $9.8 billion in 2017, a jump of more than 50 percent.

 

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD: The Trump Administration has secured key improvements to KORUS that will protect jobs in America’s auto industry and increase United States exports.

As a result of negotiations, South Korea will double the annual number of American automobiles – from 25,000 to 50,000 per manufacturer per year – that can enter its market using United States safety standards without further modifications.

South Korea is simplifying the sales environment for United States cars and parts by taking into account United States environmental and emissions standards.

American vehicles will be able to meet South Korean gasoline emissions standards based on compliance with United States emissions regulations, avoiding additional or duplicative testing.

South Korea will recognize United States standards for auto parts necessary to service United States vehicles, and will reduce labeling burdens for auto parts.

South Korea will expand the number of “eco-credits” available for United States automakers to meet South Korean emissions standards.

When setting fuel economy standards in the future, South Korea will take United States corporate average fuel economy regulations into account and will continue to include more lenient standards for smaller volume exporters.

The phase out of the 25 percent United States tariff on trucks will be extended until 2041, well beyond the current phase out date of 2021.

 

CUTTING THE RED TAPE ON UNITED STATES EXPORTS AND HOLDING TRADE PARTNERS ACCOUNTABLE: The Trump Administration’s negotiations will eliminate burdensome regulations that have impeded United States exports and ensure that trade partners follow through on implementation.

South Korea has agreed to address issues with onerous and costly customs procedures that have hindered United States exports.

South Korea has agreed to change its pharmaceutical reimbursement policy for innovative drugs to give fair treatment to United States exports by the end of this year, consistent with its KORUS obligations.

 

DEFENDING AMERICAN STEEL: Outside the context of KORUS, the Trump Administration has reached a deal with South Korea to protect American steel manufacturers and national security.

On March 8, 2018, after receiving a report and recommendations from Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, President Trump announced tariffs on imported steel under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, in order to defend America’s national security.

The Trump Administration has reached satisfactory alternative means with South Korea to address United States national-security concerns.

Steel imports from South Korea into the United States will be limited to a product-specific quota equal to 70 percent of that country’s average annual import volume from 2015 through 2017.

 

ADDRESSING UNFAIR CURRENCY PRACTICES: The Trump Administration is working to ensure that American goods are treated fairly and that our trading partners avoid unfair currency practices.

Outside the context of KORUS, the Treasury Department has an understanding with South Korea to avoid competitive devaluation and practices that provide an unfair competitive advantage.

The understanding includes strong commitments on exchange rate practices, robust transparency, and reporting.
