奥巴马总统就美国经济和外交政策发布会演讲稿 奥巴马总统就美国经济和外交政策发布会演讲稿 演讲稿 英语演讲稿 奥巴马总统就美国经济和外交政策发布 会演讲稿 奥巴马总统就美国经济和外交政策发布会演讲稿 good afternoon, everbod. happ frida. i thought i d take somequestions, but first, let me sa a fe ords about the eonom. this morning, e learned that our eonom reated over 200,000 ne jobs in jul. that s ontop of about 300,000 ne jobs in june. so e are no in a six-month streak ith at least200,000 ne jobs eah month. that s the first time that has happened sine 1997. over thepast ear, e ve added more jobs than an ear sine XX. and all told, our businesses havereated 9.9 million ne jobs over the past 53 months. that s the longest streak of privatesetor job reation in our histor. and as e sa on ednesda, the eonom gre at a strong pae in the spring. panies areinvesting. onsumers are spending. amerian manufaturing, energ, tehnolog, autos -- allare booming. and thanks to the deisions that e ve made, and the grit and resiliene of theamerian people, e ve reovered faster and e farther from the reession than almost another advaned ountr on earth. so the good nes is the eonom learl is getting stronger. things are getting better. ourengines are revving a little bit louder. and the deisions that e make right no an sustainand keep that groth and momentum going. unfortunatel, there are a series of steps that e ould be taking to maintain momentum, andperhaps even aelerate it; there are steps that e ould be taking that ould result in morejob groth, higher ages, higher ines, more relief for middle-lass families. and so far, atleast, in ongress, e have not seen them illing or able to take those steps. i ve been pushing for mon-sense ideas like rebuilding our infrastruture in as that aresustained over man ears and support millions of good jobs and help businesses pete.i ve been advoating on behalf of raising the minimum age, making it easier for orking folksto pa off their student loans; fair pa, paid leave. all these poliies have to things inmon: all of them ould help orking families feel more stable and seure, and all of themso far have been bloked or ignored b republians in ongress. that s h madministration keeps taking hatever ations e an take on our on to help orking families. no, it s good that ongress as able to pass legislation to strengthen the va. and i ant tothank the hairmen and ranking members ho ere involved in that. it s good that ongressas able to at least fund transportation projets for a fe more months before leaving ton --although it falls far short of the kind of infrastruture effort that e need that ould atuallaelerate the eonom. but for the most part, the big-tiket items, the things that ouldreall make a differene in the lives of middle-lass families, those things just are not gettingdone. let s just take a reent example: immigration. e all agree that there s a problem that needsto be solved in a portion of our southern border. and e even agree on most of the solutions.but instead of orking together -- instead of fousing on the 80 perent here there isagreement beteen demorats and republians, beteen the administration and ongress --house republians, as e speak, are tring to pass the most extreme and unorkable versionsof a bill that the alread kno is going nohere, that an t pass the senate and that if it ereto pass the senate i ould veto. the kno it. the re not even tring to atuall solve the problem. this is a message bill that the ouldn tquite pull off esterda, so the made it a little more extreme so mabe the an pass it toda-- just so the an hek a box before the re leaving ton for a month. and this is on an issuethat the all insisted had to be a top priorit. no, our efforts administrativel so far have helped to slo the tide of hild migrants tring toe to our ountr. but ithout additional resoures and help from ongress, e re just notgoing to have the resoures e need to full solve the problem. that means hile the re outon vXXtion i m going to have to make some tough hoies to meet the hallenge -- ith orithout ongress. and esterda, even though the ve been sitting on a bipartisan immigration bill for over aear, house republians suggested that sine the don t expet to atuall pass a bill that i ansign, that i atuall should go ahead and at on m on to solve the problem. keep in mindthat just a fe das earlier, the voted to sue me for ating on m on. and then hen theouldn t pass a bill esterda, the put out a statement suggesting i should at on m onbeause the ouldn t pass a bill. so immigration has not gotten done. a student loan bill that ould help folks ho havestudent loan debt onsolidate and refinane at loer rates -- that didn t pass. thetransportation bill that the did pass just gets us through the spring, hen e should atuallbe planning ears in advane. states and businesses are raising the minimum age for theirorkers beause this ongress is failing to do so. even basi things like approving areer diplomats for ritial ambassadorial posts aren t gettingdone. last night, for purel politial reasons, senate republians, for a ertain period of time,bloked our ne ambassador to russia. it raised suh an uproar that finall the ent aheadand let our russian ambassador pass -- at a time hen e are dealing ever da ith the risisin ukraine. the re still bloking our ambassador to sierra leone, here there s urrentl an ebolaoutbreak. the re bloking our ambassador to guatemala, even as the demand that e domore to stop the flo of unapanied hildren from guatemala. there are a lot of things thate ould be arguing about on poli -- that s hat e should be doing as a demora -- bute shouldn t be having an argument about plaing areer diplomats ith bipartisan support inountries around the orld here e have to have a presene. so the bottom line is this: e have e a long a over the last five and a half ears. ourhallenges are nohere near as daunting as the ere hen i first ame into offie. but theamerian people demand and deserve a strong and foused effort on the part of all of us tokeep moving the ountr forard and to fous on their onerns. and the fat is e ould bemuh further along and e ould be doing even better, and the eonom ould be evenstronger, and more jobs ould be reated if ongress ould do the job that the people sentthem here to do. and i ill not stop tring to ork ith both parties to get things moving faster for middle-lassfamilies and those tring to get into the middle lass. hen ongress returns next month, mhope is, is that instead of simpl tring to pass partisan message bills on part lines that don tatuall solve problems, the re going to be illing to e together to at least fous on someke areas here there s broad agreement. after all that e ve had to overe, our ongressshould stop standing in the a of our ountr s suess. so ith that, let me take a ouple of questions. and i ill start ith roberta rampton ofreuters. q: thanks. i ant to ask about the situation in the middle east. and h do ou think israelshould embrae a ease-fire in gaza hen one of its soldiers appears to have been abdutedand hen hamas ontinues to use its netork of tunnels to launh attaks? and also, have ouseen israel at at all on our all to do more to protet ivilians? the president: ell, first of all, i think it s important to note that e have -- and i have --unequivoall ondemned hamas and the palestinian fations that ere responsible forkilling to israeli soldiers and abduting a third almost minutes after a ease-fire had beenannouned. and the u.n. has ondemned them as ell. and i ant to make sure that the are listening: if the are serious about tring to resolve thissituation, that soldier needs to be unonditionall released as soon as possible. i have been ver lear throughout this risis that israel has a right to defend itself. no ountran tolerate missiles raining don on its ities and people having to rush to bomb sheltersever 20 minutes or half hour. no ountr an or ould tolerate tunnels being dug under theirland that an be used to launh terrorist attaks. and so, not onl have e been supportive of israel in its right to defend itself, but in veronrete terms -- for example, in support for the iron dome program that has intereptedrokets that are firing don on israeli ities -- e ve been tring to ooperate as muh as ean to make sure that israel is able to protet its itizens. no, at the same time, e ve also been lear that innoent ivilians in gaza aught in therossfire have to eigh on our onsiene and e have to do more to protet them. aease-fire as one a in hih e ould stop the killing, to step bak and to tr to resolvesome of the underling issues that have been building up over quite some time. israelmitted to that 72-hour ease-fire, and it as violated. and tring to put that baktogether is going to be hallenging, but e ill ontinue to make those efforts. and let me take this opportunit, b the a, to give seretar john kerr redit. he hasbeen persistent. he has orked ver hard. he has endured on man oasions reall unfairritiism simpl to tr to get to the point here the killing stops and the underling issuesabout israel s seurit but also the onerns of palestinians in gaza an be addressed. e re going to keep orking toards that. it s going to take some time. i think it s going to bever hard to put a ease-fire bak together again if israelis and the international munitan t feel onfident that hamas an follo through on a ease-fire mitment. and it s not partiularl relevant hether a partiular leader in hamas ordered this abdution.the point is, is that hen the sign onto a ease-fire the re laiming to speak for all thepalestinian fations. and if the don t have ontrol of them, and just moments after a ease-fire is signed ou have israeli soldiers being killed and aptured, then it s hard for the israelis tofeel onfident that a ease-fire an atuall be honored. i m in onstant onsultation ith prime minister netanahu. our national seurit team is inonstant muniation ith the israel militar. i ant to see everthing possible done tomake sure that palestinian ivilians are not being killed. and it is heartbreaking to see hat shappening there, and i think man of us reognize the dilemma e have. on the one hand,israel has a right to defend itself and it s got to be able to get at those rokets and thosetunnel netorks. on the other hand, beause of the inredibl irresponsible ations on thepart of hamas to oftentimes house these roket launhers right in the middle of ivilianneighborhoods, e end up seeing people ho had nothing to do ith these rokets ending upbeing hurt. part of the reason h e ve been pushing so hard for a ease-fire is preisel beause it s hardto reonile israel s legitimate need to defend itself ith our onern ith those ivilians. andif e an pause the fighting, then it s possible that e ma be able to arrive at a formula thatspares lives and also ensures israel s seurit. but it s diffiult. and i don t think e shouldpretend otherise. bill plante. q: mr. president, like that ease-fire, ou ve alled for diplomati solutions not onl in israeland gaza but also in ukraine, in iraq, to ver little effet so far. has the united states ofameria lost its influene in the orld? have ou lost ours? the president: look, this is a mon theme that folks bring up. apparentl people haveforgotten that ameria, as the most poerful ountr on earth, still does not ontroleverthing around the orld. and so our diplomati efforts often take time. the often ill seeprogress and then a step bakards. that s been true in the middle east. that s been true ineurope. that s been true in asia. that s the nature of orld affairs. it s not neat, and it s notsmooth. but if ou look at, for example, ukraine, e have made progress in delivering on hat e saide ould do. e an t ontrol ho mr. putin thinks. but hat e an do is sa to mr. putin, ifou ontinue on the path of arming separatists ith heav armaments that the evidenesuggests ma have resulted in 300 innoent people on a jet ding, and that violatesinternational la and undermines the integrit -- territorial integrit and sovereignt ofukraine, then ou re going to fae onsequenes that ill hurt our ountr. and there as a lot of skeptiism about our abilit to oordinate ith europeans for a strongseries of santions. and eah time e have done hat e said e ould do, inluding this eek,hen e put in plae santions that have an impat on ke setors of the russian eonom --their energ, their defense, their finanial sstems. it hasn t resolved the problem et. i spoke to mr. putin this morning, and i indiated to him,just as e ill do hat e sa e do in terms of santions, e ll also do hat e sa e do interms of anting to resolve this issue diplomatiall if he takes a different position. if herespets and honors the right of ukrainians to determine their on destin, then it s possibleto make sure that russian interests are addressed that are legitimate, and that ukrainians areable to make their on deisions, and e an resolve this onflit and end some of thebloodshed. but the point is, though, bill, that if ou look at the 20th entur and the earl part of thisentur, there are a lot of onflits that ameria doesn t resolve. that s alas been true. thatdoesn t mean e stop tring. and it s not a measure of amerian influene on an given da orat an given moment that there are onflits around the orld that are diffiult. the onflit innorthern ireland raged for a ver, ver long time until finall something broke, here theparties deided that it asn t orth killing eah other. the palestinian-israeli onflit has been going on even longer than ou ve been reporting. and i don t think at an point as there a suggestion someho that ameria didn thave influene just beause e eren t able to finalize an israeli-palestinian peae deal. ou ill reall that situations like kosovo and bosnia raged on for quite some time, and thereas a lot more death and bloodshed than there has been so far in the ukrainian situation beforeit ultimatel did get resolved. and so i reognize ith so man different issues popping up around the orld, sometimes itma seem as if this is an aberration or it s unusual. but the truth of the matter is, is thatthere s a big orld out there, and that as indispensable as e are to tr to lead it, there s stillgoing to be tragedies out there and there are going to be onflits. and our job is to just makesure that e ontinue to projet hat s right, hat s just, and that e re building oalitions oflike-minded ountries and partners in order to advane not onl our ore seurit interests butalso the interests of the orld as a hole. q: do ou think ou ould have done more? the president: on hih one? q: on an of them? ukraine? the president: ell look, i think, bill, that the nature of being president is that ou realas asking ourself hat more an ou do. but ith respet to, let s sa, the israeli-palestinian issue, this administration invested an enormous amount to tr to bring theparties together around a frameork for peae and a to-state solution. john kerr investedan enormous amount of time. in the end, it s up to the to parties to make a deision. ean lead them to resolve some of the tehnial issues and to sho them a path, but the vegot to ant it. ith respet to ukraine, i think that e have done everthing that e an to support theukrainian government and to deter russia from moving further into ukraine. but short of goingto ar, there are going to be some onstraints in terms of hat e an do if president putin andrussia are ignoring hat should be their long-term interests. right no, hat e ve done is impose suffiient osts on russia that, objetivel speaking,the should -- president putin should ant to resolve this diplomatiall, get these santionslifted, get their eonom groing again, and have good relations ith ukraine. but sometimespeople don t alas at rationall, and the don t alas at based on their medium- or long-term interests. that an t deter us, though. e ve just got to sta at it. endell. q: mr. president, republians point to some of our exeutive orders as reason, the sa, thatthe an t trust ou to implement legislation that the pass. even if ou don t bu thatargument, do ou hold ourself totall blameless in the inabilit it appears to reah agreementith the republian-led house? the president: endell, let s just take the reent example of immigration. a bipartisan billpassed out of the senate, o-sponsored b not just demorats but some ver onservativerepublians ho reognize that the sstem urrentl is broken and if, in fat e put moreresoures on the border, provide a path in hih those undoumented orkers ho ve beenliving here for a long time and ma have ties here are ing out of the shados, paing theirtaxes, paing a fine, learning english -- if e fix the legal immigration sstem so it s moreeffiient, if e are attrating oung people ho ma have studied here to sta here and reatejobs here, that that all is going to be good for the eonom, it s going to redue the defiit, itmight have forestalled some of the problems that e re seeing no in the rio grande valleith these unapanied hildren. and so e have a bipartisan bill, endell, bipartisan agreement supported b everbod fromlabor to the evangelial munit to la enforement. so the argument isn t beteen meand the house republians. it s beteen the house republians and senate republians, andhouse republians and the business munit, and house republians and the evangelialmunit. i m just one of the people the seem to disagree ith on this issue. so that s on the prehensive bill. so no e have a short-term risis ith respet to therio grande valle. the sa e need more resoures, e need tougher border seurit in thisarea here these unapanied hildren are shoing up. e agree. so e put forard asupplemental to give us the additional resoures and funding to do exatl hat the sa eshould be doing, and the an t pass the bill. the an t even pass their on version of the bill.so that s not a disagreement beteen me and the house republians; that s a disagreementbeteen the house republians and the house republians. the point is that on a range of these issues, hether it s tax reform, hether it s reduing thedefiit, hether it s rebuilding our infrastruture, e have onsistentl put forard proposalsthat in previous ears and previous administrations ould not have been onsidered radialor left ing; the ould have been onsidered prett sensible, mainstream approahes tosolving problems. i inlude under that, b the a, the affordable are at. that s a hole other onversation. and in irumstanes here even basi, mon-sense, plain, vanilla legislation an t passbeause house republians onsider it someho a promise of their priniples, or givingobama a vitor, then e ve got to take ation. otherise, e re not going to be makingprogress on the things that the amerian people are about. q: on the border supplemental -- an ou at alone? the president: ell, i m going to have to at alone beause e don t have enoughresoures. e ve alread been ver lear -- e ve run out of mone. and e are going to haveto realloate resoures in order to just make sure that some of the basi funtions that have totake plae don there -- hether it s making sure that these hildren are properl housed, ormaking sure e ve got enough immigration judges to proess their ases -- that those thingsget done. e re going to have to realloate some resoures. but the broader point, endell, is that if, in fat, house republians are onerned about meating independentl of ongress -- despite the fat that i ve taken feer exeutive ationsthan m republian predeessor or m demorati predeessor before that, or therepublian predeessor before that -- then the easiest a to solve it is passing legislation.get things done. on the supplemental, e agreed on 80 perent of the issues. there ere 20 perent of theissues that perhaps there ere disagreements beteen demorats and republians. as i said toone republian olleague ho as don here that i as briefing about some national seuritissues, h ouldn t e just go ahead and pass the 80 perent that e agree on and e ll tr toork to resolve the differenes on the other 20 perent? h ouldn t e do that? and hedidn t reall have a good anser for it. so there s no doubt that i an alas do better on everthing, inluding making additionalalls to speaker boehner, and having more onversations ith some of the house republianleadership. but in the end, the hallenge i have right no is that the are not able to at evenon hat the sa their priorities are, and the re not able to ork and promise even ithsenate republians on ertain issues. and the onsider hat have been traditionallrepublian-supported initiatives, the onsider those as someho a betrXXl of the ause. take the example of the export-import bank. this is an interesting thing that s happened. thisis a program in hih e help to provide finaning to sell amerian goods and produts aroundthe orld. ever ountr does this. it s traditionall been hampioned b republians. for somereason, right no the house republians have deided that e shouldn t do this -- hih meansthat hen amerian panies go overseas and the re tring to lose a sale on selling boeingplanes, for example, or a ge turbine, or some other amerian produt, that has all kinds ofsubontrators behind it and is reating all kinds of jobs, and all sorts of small businessesdepend on that sale, and that amerian pan is going up against a german pan or ahinese pan, and the hinese and the german pan are providing finaning and theamerian pan isn t, e ma lose that sale. hen did that bee something that republians opposed? it ould be like me having a ardealership for ford, and the toota dealership offers somebod finaning and i don t. e illlose business and e ll lose jobs if e don t pass it. so there s some big issues here i understand h e have differenes. on taxes, republiansant to maintain some orporate loopholes i think need to be losed beause i think that eshould be giving tax breaks to families that are struggling ith hild are or tring to save for aollege eduation. on health are, obviousl their vie is, is that e should not be helping folksget health are, even though it s through the private marketplae. m vie is, is that in aountr as ealth as ours, e an afford to make sure that everbod has aess toaffordable are. those are legitimate poli arguments. but getting our ambassadors onfirmed? these areareer diplomats, not politial tpes. making sure that e pass legislation to strengthen ourborders and put more folks don there? those shouldn t be ontroversial. and i think ou dbe hard-pressed to find an example of here i ouldn t ele some reasonable efforts toatuall get a bill passed out of ongress that i ould sign. last question, mihelle kosinski. q: ou made the point that in ertain diffiult onflits in the past, both sides had to reah apoint here the ere tired of the bloodshed. do ou think that e are atuall far from thatpoint right no? and is it realisti to tr to broker a ease-fire right no hen there are stilltunnel operations alloed to ontinue? is that going to ause a hange of approah from thispoint forard? the president: ell, keep in mind that the ease-fire that had been agreed to ould havegiven israel the apabilit to ontinue to dismantle these tunnel netorks, but the israelis andismantle these tunnel netorks ithout going into major population enters in gaza. so ithink the israelis are entirel right that these tunnel netorks need to be dismantled. there isa a of doing that hile still reduing the bloodshed. ou are right that in past onflits, sometimes people have to feel deepl the osts. anbodho has been athing some of these images i d like to think should reognize the osts. ouhave hildren ho are getting killed. ou have omen, defenseless, ho are getting killed. ouhave israelis hose lives are disrupted onstantl and living in fear. and those are osts thatare avoidable if e re able to get a ease-fire that preserves israel s abilit to defend itselfand gives it the apait to have an assurane that the re not going to be onstantlthreatened b roket fire in the future, and, onversel, an agreement that reognizes thepalestinian need to be able to make a living and the average palestinian s apait to live adeent life. but it s hard. it s going to be hard to get there. i think that there s a lot of anger and there s alot of despair, and that s a volatile mix. but e have to keep tring. and it is -- bill asked earlier about amerian leadership. part of the reason h ameria remainsindispensable, part of the essential ingredient in amerian leadership is that e re illingto plunge in and tr, here other ountries don t bother tring. i mean, the fat of the matteris, is that in all these rises that have been mentioned, there ma be some tangential risks tothe united states. in some ases, as in iraq and isis, those are dangers that have to beaddressed right no, and e have to take them ver seriousl. but for the most part, these arenot -- the rokets aren t being fired into the united states. the reason e are onerned isbeause e reognize e ve got some speial responsibilities. e have to have some humilit about hat e an and an t aplish. e have toreognize that our resoures are finite, and e re ing out of a deade of ar and ourmilitar has been strethed ver hard, as has our budget. nevertheless, e tr. e go in thereand e make an effort. and hen i see john kerr going out there and tring to broker a ease-fire, e should all besupporting him. there shouldn t be a bunh of plaints and seond-guessing about, ell, ithasn t happened et, or nitpiking before he s had a hane to plete his efforts. beause, itell ou hat, there isn t an other ountr that s going in there and making those efforts. and more often than not, as a onsequene of our involvement, e get better outes --not perfet outes, not immediate outes, but e get better outes. and that s goingto be true ith respet to the middle east. that s going to be true ith respet to ukraine.that s going to be ertainl true ith respet to iraq. and i think it s useful for me to end b just reminding folks that, in m first term, if i had apress onferene like this, tpiall, everbod ould ant to ask about the eonom and hoe jobs eren t being reated, and ho e the housing market is still bad, and h isn t itorking. ell, ou kno hat, hat e did orked. and the eonom is better. and hen i sathat e ve just had six months of more than 200,000 jobs that hasn t happened in 17 earsthat shos ou the poer of persistene. it shos ou that if ou sta at it, eventuall emake some progress. all right? q: hat about john brennan? q: the afria summit -- ebola? the president: i thought that ou gus ere going to ask me ho i as going to spend mbirthda. hat happened to the happ birthda thing? q: happ birthda. q: hat about john brennan? q: afria summit? the president: i ill address to points. i ll address -- q: and flight 17? the president: hold on, gus. e on. there s just -- q: and afria. the president: ou re not that pent up. i ve been giving ou questions latel. on brennan and the ia, the rdi report has been transmitted, the delassified version that illbe released at the pleasure of the senate mittee. i have full onfidene in john brennan. i think he has aknoledged and diretl apologized tosenator feinstein that ia personnel did not properl handle an investigation as to hoertain douments that ere not authorized to be released to the senate staff got somehointo the hands of the senate staff. and it s lear from the ig report that some ver poorjudgment as shon in terms of ho that as handled. keep in mind, though, that johnbrennan as the person ho alled for the ig report, and he s alread stood up a task fore tomake sure that lessons are learned and mistakes are resolved. ith respet to the larger point of the rdi report itself, even before i ame into offie i asver lear that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 e did some things that ere rong. edid a hole lot of things that ere right, but e tortured some folks. e did some things thatere ontrar to our values. i understand h it happened. i think it s important hen e look bak to reall ho afraidpeople ere after the tin toers fell and the pentagon had been hit and the plane inpennslvania had fallen, and people did not kno hether more attaks ere imminent, andthere as enormous pressure on our la enforement and our national seurit teams to trto deal ith this. and it s important for us not to feel too santimonious in retrospet aboutthe tough job that those folks had. and a lot of those folks ere orking hard under enormouspressure and are real patriots. but having said all that, e did some things that ere rong. and that s hat that reportreflets. and that s the reason h, after i took offie, one of the first things i did as to bansome of the extraordinar interrogation tehniques that are the subjet of that report. and m hope is, is that this report reminds us one again that the harater of our ountr hasto be measured in part not b hat e do hen things are eas, but hat e do hen thingsare hard. and hen e engaged in some of these enhaned interrogation tehniques,tehniques that i believe and i think an fair-minded person ould believe ere torture, erossed a line. and that needs to be -- that needs to be understood and aepted. and e haveto, as a ountr, take responsibilit for that so that, hopefull, e don t do it again in thefuture. q: mr. president the president: no, i gave ou a question. q: all right. q: the summit -- the u.s.-afria -- the president: e ve got a u.s.-afria summit ing up next eek. it is going to be anunpreedented gathering of afrian leaders. the importane of this for ameria needs to beunderstood. afria is one of the fastest-groing ontinents in the orld. ou ve got six of the 10fastest-groing eonomies in afria. ou have all sorts of other ountries like hina and braziland india deepl interested in orking ith afria -- not to extrat natural resoures alone,hih traditionall has been the relationship beteen afria and the rest of the orld -- but nobeause afria is groing and ou ve got thriving markets and ou ve got entrepreneurs andextraordinar talent among the people there. and afria also happens to be one of the ontinents here ameria is most popular and peoplefeel a real affinit for our a of life. and e ve made enormous progress over the last severalears in not just providing traditional aid to afria, helping ountries that are suffering frommalnutrition or helping ountries that are suffering from aids, but rather partnering andthinking about ho an e trade more and ho an e do business together. and that s thekind of relationship that afria is looking for. and i ve had onversations over the last several months ith u.s. businesses -- some of thebiggest u.s. businesses in the orld -- and the sa, afria, that s one of our top priorities; eant to do business ith those folks, and e think that e an reate u.s. jobs and send u.s.exports to afria. but e ve got to
