中国の”沖縄包囲”に「非常に強固な日米同盟を維持」と明言｜キャロライン・レビット報道官会見
China is using its military power to surround Okinawa, Japan. Is the United States concerned about the military conflict between China and Japan? And what action will the United States taking? On the next chair, does the president have an expectation that his pick will lower interest rates next year? New York City Mayor Alex Mandani put out a video recently telling immigrants in New York City they have the right to stand up to ICE. The president’s been spotted out and about a number of times with bandages on his hands. Does the president consider the seizure of the oil taker an escalation or a step towards war with Venezuela? Please, Eric, why don’t you kick us off? Caroline, thank you very much uh for this inviting me to the new media seat. As you point out, affordability crisis, it strikes me energy prices have been coming down aggressively since President Trump’s second term. approaching $55 a barrel for oil. Gasoline, as you point out, under $3 a barrel nationally, first time in 5 years. By the way, that $55 barrel oil is about half of the peak under the last four years in the last administration. Half price. Um, wholesale prices come down yet. Affordability crisis. A lot of the folks in this room, a lot of legacy media, some people in the front row seem to want to call this an affordability crisis right now, forgetting the fact that over the last four years prior, we hit 9% inflation. Wages, as you point out, have were stagnant at best, some sometimes had dipped. That’s a real affordability crisis there. But they weren’t really calling it that then. You point out how President Trump is changing the affordability in America, but how will he ensure that the the legacy media doesn’t flip the script and change it so that they’re they’re using affordability as their word, their idea versus what the American people who know much better. Yeah. Well, it’s a great question, Eric, and it’s a point of frustration for the president and for myself. I will say that’s part of the reason I just kicked off this briefing today, setting the record straight with facts about the economic mess that the president inherited from his predecessor, Joe Biden. And he’s focused on digging our country and our economy out of that hole every day. Things are getting better and they will continue to. And President Trump understands better than any politician in this city the pain that the American consumer has been feeling for years now because of the last administration’s policies. You heard him in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania this past week campaigning and talking to these voters saying, “I was elected to fix this problem and I am fixing it. Don’t forget who created it and that’s the Democrats.” And I think when you hear the president talk about affordability, he’s saying the Democrats are the greatest con artists in history because they are now trying to claim ownership of an issue that they created. And every data point and every economic metric does in fact show that the economy is improving. And so I do wish more people would report on those facts. I do wish that more people would remind the American public how we got here and why. It does not mean this president is discarding the feelings of the American people. He gets it better than anyone. Which is why his entire administration has been focused on the issue of the economy and energy prices since day one. If I may, uh, sure follow up. It’s reported that around 10,000 commercial driver’s license operators have been pulled by your transportation secretary department. The reason was they don’t the operators weren’t speaking or reading English to a level that was safely people thought they would safely be able to operate trucks on our roadways. It’s estimated in California around 40% of Uber drivers, Uber and Lift drivers don’t speak English proficiently and the number is 45% in Minnesota. Will this same rule or metric apply to the gig economy like Uber and Lift? So, I don’t have any announcements on further um regulations, if you will, from the Department of Transportation with respect uh to this issue. However, I will just reiterate the Trump administration’s position is that truck drivers, particularly those driving big rigs on our nation’s road and highways, uh, who have a great responsibility to keep the American public and their fellow citizens safe, should be speaking English and should have an ability to read English, English proficiently. I think that’s a a very common sense policy to have. And we’ve unfortunately seen and the Department of Transportation has uncovered and is actively working to fix these state sponsored commercial trucking driving licenses uh which were going to people who are not qualified to be driving these massive trucks on American roads and they’re endangering the lives of our fellow citizens. We’ve unfortunately seen many uh vehicle accidents across the country where people have lost their lives because of drivers that were just simply unqualified to be driving these trucks. So, I know this is something DOT and Secretary Duffy take very seriously. Peter, thank you. Caroline, based on the way that things stand right now, is Operation Southern Spear about drugs or is it about oil? Uh, what I will tell you, Peter, is that the Trump administration is focused on doing many things in the Western Hemisphere. The president has taken a new approach that has not been taken by any administration for quite some time to actually focus on what’s going on in our own backyard. And there are two things that are very important to this administration. Number one, uh stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the United States of America, which we know has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. The president promised on the campaign trail that he would demolish the foreign terrorist organizations and drug cartels around the world, especially right here in our own hemisphere. And you have seen that he is delivering on that promise. With respect to the oil and what happened yesterday, the Department of Justice requested and was approved for a warrant to seize a vessel because it’s a sanctioned shadow vessel known for carrying black market sanctioned oil to the IRGC, which you know is a sanctioned entity. So, the president is committed to stopping the illegal flow of drugs into our country, he’s also fully committed to effectuating this administration’s sanction policy, and that’s what you saw and the world saw take place yesterday. And because you said the president is trying to do a lot of things at once, um, he talks a lot about how he thinks the way to bring down prices for everything would be to bring down the cost of energy. Would he use this seized Venezuelan oil to try to help Americans with affordability here in the United States? Well, what I can tell you right now, uh, the vessel has been seized, as you know, um, and the Department of Justice is did that in conjunction with the Coast Guard and the Department of War. The vessel is currently undergoing a forfeitter process right now. The United States currently has a full investigative team on the ground on the vessel and individuals on board the vessel are being interviewed and any relevant evidence is being seized. With respect to the oil, that’s a different issue. As you know, Peter, um the vessel will go to a US port and the United States does intend to seize the oil. However, there is a legal process for the seizure of that oil and that legal process will be followed. And just my last one on this, if President Trump launches a bigger military campaign in the Caribbean, is he jeopardizing a possible Nobel Peace Prize? Uh, look, the president has proven over the past year that he is more than worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. I think he’s been nominated of it for it nearly 100 times this past year, which is definitely a record. Uh, he’s solved, I think, nine conflicts around the world. We are up to now. He’s actively uh working on the Russia Ukraine war, which is the big one as we speak uh and has been over the past year. Um with respect to any additional action in Venezuela, I’m definitely not going to get ahead of the president or the United States military. Mary, it now seems all but certain that the Obamacare subsidies will expire at the end of the year. Means more than 20 million Americans are now bracing for their health care costs to soar. Is the president prepared to let this happen or or is he going to step in? The president is prepared to take action on healthcare and he’s wants Republicans on the Hill to do the same. As you have seen, Senate Republicans put forth their own legislation earlier this week. As for the subsidies that are set to expire, I would like to remind you and everybody at home why this is on the brink of happening. Uh Democrats wrote Obamacare. They passed it without a single Republican vote and then they ballooned it with these expensive COVID subsidies that completely distorted the health insurance market and then they doubled down extending those subsidies and setting their own expiration date right now in 2025 which the administration is obviously well aware of and we are working the president is working uh with his healthcare policy team here at the White House as well as Republicans on Capitol Hill to find a solution. He said he’s working to find a solution. He wants to see a solution to lower health care costs. He does, but these but these subsidies are expiring at the end of the year. So what is the plan and what is he going to do to put this in place in the next two three weeks? Well, you’ll hear more from the president and from the White House on that uh very soon. As for wanting a solution to lower health care costs, I’m glad you said it because the president is doing just that. He has made unprecedented progress towards lowering health care costs in this country and drug prices. He secured numerous most favored nation drug price deals with many more to come. As you know, the one big beautiful bill, the working family tax cut, significantly expanded access to health savings accounts for those on Obamacare. Again, a Democrat uh written program, an approved program, which has led to higher health care costs in this country. So, it goes back to the issue of affordability. Democrats are now pretending they want a solution to this issue, but they created the problem. The president and Republicans are currently coming up with creative solutions and ideas to lower health care costs for the American people and you’ll continue to hear more from them on that before these subsidies expire. I just said you’re going to continue to hear more from uh the president and Republicans on this issue, I’m sure. Sure. Bloomberg, go ahead. Thanks, Caroline. Um the president said he was going to be um holding a call with the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia. Have those calls taken place? Is there a readout you can share? Uh the president has not yet engaged in those calls and when he does, I’m sure you’ll hear from him directly as you always do after foreign leader calls or from somebody here at the White House. I do know with respect to the conflict uh in in in the peace deal in Thailand and Cambodia and some of the conflicts you’ve seen arise uh reports of that in the press over the past couple of days. The president addressed it in Pennsylvania. The administration is obviously tracking this at the highest levels and is very much engaged. I spoke with Secretary Rubio about it this morning. And will senior US officials be meeting Saturday um with European uh and Ukrainian officials to discuss the peace plan? Uh look, we the United States and the Trump administration continues to be very much engaged in trying to bring the Russia Ukraine war to an end. President had a call with Europeans yesterday. His special envoy WhitF and uh his team continue to talk with both sides literally as we speak. If there is a real chance of signing a peace agreement, if we feel like those meetings are worthy of someone on the United States’s time this weekend, uh then we will send a representative. It’s still up in the air whether we believe uh real peace can be accomplished and we can truly move the ball forward. The president is extremely frustrated with both sides of this war. Uh and he’s sick of meetings just for the sake of meeting. Uh he doesn’t want any more talk. He wants action. He wants this war to come to an end. Um and the administration has spent more than 30 hours this just in the past couple of weeks meeting with the Russians and the Ukrainians uh and the Europeans and speaking with them as well. So uh we’ll see uh about the meetings this weekend and stay tuned. President President Silinsk’s latest proposal that was sent over yesterday. He’s aware of it. Yes. Ed, thanks Caroline. So the Fed chairman uh the president says that he’s interviewing candidates. So I just want to be clear. So, the pick has not been locked in. And could we get an announcement before Christmas? I know every business outlet in the world is just chomping at the bit for a scoop or something on this Fed chair announcement. I’m not going to get ahead of the president. I know there’s been a lot of reports about potential meetings this week with potential candidates. Look, as always, this is a decision the president himself is going to make. And I know there’s a lot of reporting out there from anonymous sources who claim to know something. I would wait and see what the president himself does and announces and I certainly won’t be the one to get ahead of him on that. On the economy, can I ask you about Michael on the next Fed chair? Does the president have an expectation that his pick will lower interest rates next year to his liking? I think the president has been quite clear about what he believes the Fed should be doing, which is lowering interest rates. I know there was a quarter point reduction uh this past week and the president was pleased to see that, but he thinks more should be done. Philip, thank you Caroline. on these advanced Nvidia H200 chips. Why is the president willing to allow China to have access to one of America’s chief technological advantages? Look, I will tell you just a couple of things. The president put out his own statement on this, which I do think highlights his exact thinking. What you see from the president on Truth Social is uh most of the time what you hear from the president behind closed doors privately. He told President Xi that we will Nvidia will only be shipping H200 products to approved customers in China to allow under conditions that will allow for continued strong national security. The administration continues to maintain a strict export control regime and we are ensuring that the Blackwell chip and other advanced technologies stay right here in America. And these H200 chips will only be sent to China after undergoing a security inspection here in the United States. Elizabeth, thank you. Caroline, New York City Mayor Alexandani put out a video recently telling immigrants in New York City they have the right to stand up to ICE. Are you concerned this will inspire New York City residents to resist ICE operations? And what will the Trump administration do if this happens? The Trump administration is definitely concerned about the rise in violence and attacks and physical threats that we have seen against our brave men and women who wear the ICE uniform. Again, these are agents who are just simply doing their jobs. They are enforcing our nation’s immigration laws. And we’ve seen more than a 1,00% increase in violent attacks on them and their families. They’ve been docked. They’ve been harassed. Many of them have been physically assaulted and attacked. Um so we condemn that wholeheartedly. I know the administration has done a lot to protect our ICE agents and the president stands firmly behind them in conducting these enforcement operations. And there’s a lot of talk uh from uh Democrat politicians in New York, but the Trump administration will continue to do our jobs in every state, and that’s to remove illegal aliens and public safety threats from American communities. Caitlyn, two questions. I have one on Venezuela to follow up, but but first on affordability since we were talking about the economy at the beginning. If the economy is as strong as the president has said it is, then why is he te telling parents two weeks before Christmas that they should only buy two or three dolls for their children? Look, what the president is saying is that if we want products made right here in America, if we want them to be made uh from American small businesses, which is a large part of the reason the president has effectively implemented tariffs, um then we’re going to have better quality products right here in the United States. Maybe you’ll pay a dollar or two more, but you will get better quality and you’ll be supporting your fellow Americans uh by buying American. And that’s what the president was saying again with respect to affordability. Uh, every economic metric, Caitlyn, and I wish you would report more on it, does in fact show that the economy is getting better and brighter than where it was under the previous administration. I will repeat, uh, inflation, as measured by the overall CPI, has slowed to an average 2.5% pace. Real wages are increasing roughly $1,200 for the average worker. Gas prices are down in almost every single state across the country. Again, in 22 states, um, it’s below 275. You look at the tax cuts, those are going to go into effect next year. So, the best is yet to come. The president is digging our country out of the economic hole that the previous administration put us in, and that’s what he’s talking about. It was a year ago, as you know, and grocery prices have been up. So, we’ve covered the economy, but there’s mixed signals in terms of what that looks like. Uh, but on inflation is down from where it was, as measured by the overall CPI. It has slowed to an average 2.5% pace. This is down from what the president inherited in the president inherited 2.9% in January. Today it’s at about 2.5%. So we’re trending in the right direction with more to come. And I would remind you when President Trump left office in his first term, inflation was 1.7%. And the previous administration jacked it up to a record high 9%. So again, in 10 months, the president has clawed us out of this hole. He’s kept it low at 2.5%. And we believe that number is going to continue to decline, especially as energy and oil prices continue to decline as well. It wasn’t high under Biden. They’re just saying it’s not. Well, nobody reported on it being high under Biden when my predecessor was standing at this podium. But now you want to ask me a lot of questions about it, which I’m happy to answer. But I will just add there’s a lot more scrutiny on this issue from this press corp than there was well and the previous administration said that too. My predecessor stood up at this podium and she said inflation doesn’t exist. She said the border was secure and people like you just took her at her word and that those were two utter lies. Everything I’m telling you is the truth backed by real factual data and you just don’t want to report on it because you want to push untrue narratives about the president. Go ahead. Question on Venezuela. I’m not going to take your follow. Go ahead. I have two questions. One is South Korea one under Japan. First question, the recent US South Korea trade fact sheet made no mentions of agricultural product. Does the United States wanted to completely open its rice and beef market to South Korea? As second on Japan, China is using its military power to surround Okinawa Japan. Is the United States concerned about the military conflict between China and Japan? And what action will the United States take it? Okay. To your first question on South Korean beef or beef exports to South Korea, I will check with our trade team and we will get you an answer on that. Uh to your second question with respect to Japan and China, the president has a phenomenal relationship with the new uh prime minister of Japan as you know. Uh he was pleased to meet her when we went to Asia a couple of months ago. Uh and they have spoken uh a few times since. They continued to be engaged with one another and Japan is a great ally of the United States as evidenced by their personal relationship and our continued trade relations uh with Japan. Um, with respect to China, the president also has a good working relationship with President Xi, which he believes is a good thing for our country. Uh, and he believes that the United States should be in a position to have a good working relationship with China while maintaining our very strong alliance with Japan. Yesterday, President Trump while speaking about drug production in Colombia, he said that the president of Colombia better wise up or he’s going to be next. What what was he meaning exactly? And the other thing is that President Gustedro of Colombia responded to that statement by issuing a formal invitation to President Trump to go to Colombia and to see firsthand how the authorities in Colombia are fighting against drugs. Do you think that President Trump will consider that? Well, that’s very interesting. I hadn’t heard the news about that invitation. I will let the president speak directly to it on whether or not that’s something he would entertain. But as for his comments yesterday towards President Pro, he has been saying um some very alarming and frankly insulting things towards the United States of America and the president doesn’t like it. Yes, in the blue. Caroline. Yes. Go ahead. Thank you. Um the president’s been spotted out and about a number of times with bandages on his hands. Could you please explain what that is about? Secondly, uh he noted on True Social the other day that um he had aced three cognitive tests. Could you please clarify when those tests took place? Uh I can do that at a later date. I obviously don’t have that in front of me. The president has spoken about that uh quite extensively throughout the years. As for the bandages on the hand, we’ve also given you an explanation for that in the past. The president is literally constantly shaking hands. The Oval Office is like Grand Central Terminal. He is meeting with more people than any of you even know about on a daily basis. He’s also on a daily aspirin regimen, which is something uh his physical examinations has said in the past as well, which can contribute to that bruising that you see. Andrew, thank you, Caroline. Two for you. Uh, first, uh, when the president announced the farm relief program, uh, the other day, uh, Secretary Rollins afterwards, right out there, uh, told us that the program would be paid for by the Commodity Credit Corporation, an existing program. The president keeps saying that it’s being paid for by tariff revenue. Why does he keep saying that if the secretary who’s running the program says that’s not the case? And also about his doll comments from the other night. Uh the president’s a billionaire. Uh he’s probably the wealthiest person to ever serve as president. Is it a good look for him to be telling parents, oh, you can you should only buy, you know, two or three dolls for your kids when he’s one of the wealthiest people in the country running. Do you think the people in that room in Pennsylvania who the president was speaking to don’t know the president’s a billionaire? I think that’s a very wellestablished fact. And actually, I think it’s one of the many reasons they reelected him back to this office because he’s a businessman who understands the economy and knows how to fix it. And he’s doing it right now, just like he did in his first term. Two quick buttons on Venezuela. Does the president consider the seizure of the oil tanker an escalation or a step towards war with Venezuela? Uh I think the president considers uh the seizure of the oil tanker as affectuating the administration’s uh sanction policies um which I’ve already discussed previously. A potential invasion or potential land strikes in Venezuela aligned with uh the president’s supporters the MAGA base does it risk the potential for a prolonged war uh and US troops involved in that? Uh prolonged war is definitely not something this president is interested in. He’s been very clear about that. He wants peace. He also wants to see the end of illegal drugs being trafficked into the United States and taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans across our country. Uh and he’s thinking about that every day here at the White House with every drug boat that is taken out by this administration. We are saving thousands of lives uh by by deterring those drugs and stopping those drugs from flowing into our country. You
