PRESIDENT TRUMP: That sounded very good. (Laughter.) Any questions, please?
Q Yeah. Mr. President, climate change is a top priority for the Prime Minister here, as well as for President Macron earlier. Weve not heard you talk about it on this trip, and it doesnt appear to be on your agenda. Are you thinking about that issue? And why is it not
PRESIDENT TRUMP: I think about it all the time, Phil. And, honestly, climate change is very important to me. And, you know, Ive done many environmental impact statements over my life. And I believe in I believe very strongly in very, very crystal clear, clean water and clean air. Thats a big part of climate change.
I also see whats happening with our oceans, where certain countries are dumping unlimited loads of things in it. They float they tend to float toward the United States. I see that happening, and nobody has ever seen anything like it, and its gotten worse.
But, no, its very important to me also. But I want clean air and clean water. That would be number one and number two. Very important.
Yes.
Q Are you concerned about rising sea levels at all, sir?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: You know, Im concerned about everything. But Im also concerned about nuclear proliferation, which I think is a very important topic, and its a topic that were going to discuss today.
Im you know, the whole situation with nuclear, to me, is very, very important, as weve been discussing today at the various meetings that weve had. I think thats something that has to be taken care of and it has to be dealt with very strongly.
Okay?
