1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:01,700
President Biden: Well, 
it's great to welcome back

2
00:00:01,701 --> 00:00:02,902
the Prime Minister,

3
00:00:02,902 --> 00:00:05,572
who we've been good friends
for a while, and --

4
00:00:05,572 --> 00:00:07,240
but it's great to have him here
in the White House.

5
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,175
We've had a lot of meetings
around the country

6
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:10,643
and around the world.

7
00:00:10,643 --> 00:00:11,845
We've been with each other --
what?

8
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,446
-- a half a dozen times
almost so far?

9
00:00:13,446 --> 00:00:14,714
Prime Minister Trudeau:
It's been a busy year.

10
00:00:14,714 --> 00:00:16,983
President Biden:
And the -- you know, we --

11
00:00:16,983 --> 00:00:19,319
I know we're both
keeping our minds

12
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:22,021
close to the families
affected by the storms,

13
00:00:22,021 --> 00:00:26,426
flooding in British Columbia
area and the Pacific Northwest.

14
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:29,662
But one of the things
we've spent time on is --

15
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:31,765
on our global agenda
is climate change.

16
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,266
We've spent a lot of time
dealing with that.

17
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:36,936
And we are on the same page
as to the need

18
00:00:36,936 --> 00:00:41,908
for us to move on it and get
the rest of the world to move.

19
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:44,744
And since our first bilateral
meeting back in February,

20
00:00:44,744 --> 00:00:47,814
we've met in venues
around the world --

21
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:49,916
getting COVID-19 under control;

22
00:00:49,916 --> 00:00:53,119
trying to deal with the next
pandemic, be prepared for it;

23
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:54,888
as well
as meeting infrastructure

24
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:56,556
needs across
the developing world.

25
00:00:56,556 --> 00:01:00,427
We see an opportunity not only
to enhance

26
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:05,999
the prospects of a better life
for people around the world,

27
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:08,768
but we can do it
by the Build Back Better World,

28
00:01:08,768 --> 00:01:10,570
Build Back Better effort --

29
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,940
that we can provide
for the health needs as well.

30
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:19,045
We're contributing a significant
amount of vaccines,

31
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:20,713
no strings attached.

32
00:01:20,713 --> 00:01:23,183
And we're also --
think we can --

33
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:26,986
we should be building back
in a more significant,

34
00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:29,389
more environmentally
friendly way.

35
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:31,324
We're meeting infrastructure
needs, as I said.

36
00:01:31,324 --> 00:01:35,061
We're driving inclusive
economic recovery --

37
00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:38,798
together, as two nations --
and meeting the climate crisis

38
00:01:38,798 --> 00:01:41,167
and standing up
for democratic values.

39
00:01:41,167 --> 00:01:44,904
And so, we've spent
a lot of time at the G7,

40
00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:48,341
the G20, and COP26.

41
00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:51,478
And I think we both think
we're at our best

42
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:55,949
when opportunity, equity,
and justice all coincide.

43
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:59,551
And -- and they're
the core values of Canadians

44
00:01:59,552 --> 00:02:01,588
and the United States.

45
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:06,125
So, this is one of the easiest
relationships you can have

46
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:09,795
as an American President
and one of the best.

47
00:02:09,795 --> 00:02:11,064
Welcome.

48
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:12,732
Prime Minister Trudeau:
Thank you, Mr. President.

49
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:16,369
Thank you, Joe.
It's -- it's been a busy year.

50
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:19,005
It is a pleasure to be back here
in Washington with you.

51
00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:22,007
But as you say, we have had
the virtual bilat.

52
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:23,543
We've had many,
many encounters

53
00:02:23,543 --> 00:02:26,412
at all sorts of different
international fora

54
00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:30,717
where we've been strongly
aligned on environment;

55
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:35,088
on fighting COVID and getting --
getting through this pandemic,

56
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:38,024
preparing for
future challenges;

57
00:02:38,024 --> 00:02:41,794
but also on building back better
and recovering our economies

58
00:02:41,794 --> 00:02:44,063
in ways that work
for the middle class,

59
00:02:44,063 --> 00:02:46,065
for people working hard
to join it

60
00:02:46,065 --> 00:02:48,801
in a way that is
inclusive and fair.

61
00:02:48,801 --> 00:02:52,738
And we've got a lot --
a lot of work to continue to do.

62
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:54,807
The easy work
is done here at home;

63
00:02:54,807 --> 00:02:56,775
the hard work
around the world --

64
00:02:56,776 --> 00:02:58,311
making sure we're
bringing people along.

65
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:02,148
And that's something that
we're always great partners on.

66
00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:12,058
(Speaks in French.)

67
00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:14,427
I'm really looking forward
to this. So, thank you, Joe.

68
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:16,029
The Press: Mr. President,
can I ask you a question

69
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:20,867
about your tax incentives
for electric vehicles

70
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,736
that would be assembled
in the United States?

71
00:03:23,736 --> 00:03:26,339
The Canadian government says
that would be a violation

72
00:03:26,339 --> 00:03:29,509
of the new trade agreement
we just signed.

73
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:32,210
Are you going to consider
a carveout for Canada,

74
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:34,013
given the fact
that our indu- --

75
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:35,848
auto industries
are so integrated?

76
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:41,521
President Biden: We're going to
talk about that to so- --

77
00:03:41,521 --> 00:03:42,855
some extent.

78
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:44,524
The Press: Is it possible,
Mr. President,

79
00:03:44,524 --> 00:03:47,694
to make changes for Canada?

80
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:49,227
President Biden: I said we were
going to talk about that.

81
00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:50,463
We haven't even --

82
00:03:50,463 --> 00:03:52,732
it hasn't even passed
yet through the House.

83
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,867
We're about to see that move.

84
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:56,736
And we don't know what will
happen in the Senate,

85
00:03:56,736 --> 00:03:58,804
but there's a lot
of complicating factors.

86
00:03:58,805 --> 00:04:00,573
We're going to talk at length
about it, I'm sure.

87
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:02,475
The Press: Sir, do you support
a diplomatic boycott

88
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:03,775
of the Beijing Olympics?

89
00:04:03,776 --> 00:04:05,845
President Biden: It's something
we're considering.

90
00:04:05,845 --> 00:04:07,347
The Press: Do you think you can
find common ground

91
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:10,249
on the EV tax credit?

92
00:04:10,249 --> 00:04:11,650
President Biden:
The answer is: I don't know.

93
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:13,586
And I don't know what we're
going to be dealing with,

94
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:15,521
quite frankly, when it comes
out of legislation.

95
00:04:15,521 --> 00:04:16,755
So, we'll talk about it then.
