![]() We’re making sure that our integrated North American economy produces good jobs and supports the middle class in our three countries. Our highest priority is, of course, ending COVID-19 and being focused on economic recovery, strengthened supply chains. We are three countries with extremely strong ties between our people, with our visions and values for the future strongly united. It is a real pleasure to be gathered here with friends - with you and President López Obrador. I want to thank you, President Biden, for hosting this NALS - the first since 2016 when I welcomed the then-leaders to Ottawa. ![]() ![]() that we are doing everything we can to support and have the support of our neighbors in this, of course. The President and I spoke about it earlier today.Īnd I can reassure people in B.C. I want to begin by saying that we are all thinking of Canadians back home in British Columbia who are facing terrible devastation from floods. PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU: Thank you very much, Mr. I’ll continue to take steps necessary to save lives and end this pandemic.Īnd I now will invite Prime Minister Trudeau to say a few words. If that occurs, we have enough boosters for everyone.Īnd, finally, yesterday, we crossed 250 million doses delivered to 10 countries, and on our way to meeting our commitment of 1 billion, 200 dos- 200 - 1,200,000,000 doses donated for free, no strings attached, to the rest of the world. Advisors at the FDA and the CDC are reviewing whether to extend boosters to all adults. Third, boosters - which provide the highest protection yet, especially for seniors. Second, yesterday we announced nearly 3 million children ages 5 to 11 got their first shot - 10 percent of all the children in the first day of the program. While it’s still under FDA approval, I’m announcing today that we have purchased 10 million treatment courses, with deliveries starting late this year and all across 2022. First, earlier this month, Pfizer announced that its antiviral pill for people infected by COVID-19 - that may dramatically reduce hospitalizations and deaths. ![]() So, today, it’s about what we can do in partnership and mutual respect to strengthen our region and prove democracies can deliver in the second quarter of the 21st century, including by increasing supply chain resilience and reliance, worker protections, improving cybersecurity, and helping small and medium businesses thrive in the Northern Hemisphere.Ī final point I’d like to do is related to today’s COVID news in America. We’ve had a chance to speak a little earlier today, but we have to drive an inclusive economic recovery and make sure all of our people share in the benefits, to have to manage the challenges of unprecedented migration into our hemisphere, and to take on inequity that continues to deny opportunity to too many people.Īs leaders, we share an innate understanding that our diversity is an enormous strength, that we are best able to reach our potential when we - when we unleash the full - the full range of our people’s talents. And our North American vision for the future draws on our shared strengths, as well as three vibrant democracies with dynamic populations and economy wishing to work together - that we can be - we can meet today and we can meet all the challenges if we just take the time to speak with one another - by working together.Īnd we have to end the pandemic and to take decisive actions to curb the climate crisis. I want to thank them for joining me in this first North American Leaders’ Summit since 2016. It’s an honor to - to welcome our two closest neighbors to the White House today: President López Obrador and Prime Minister Trudeau. Well, it’s an honor - I assume this is on.
