undetectable. it was really amazing machinery. still, it was undetectable. the dog came in, jumped in the hood, it is incredible, their sense of smell. or whatever it may be. probably the sense of smell. they are incredible animals. thank you all very much. reporter: do you have confidence in mr. mulvaney? pres. trump: yes, i do. >> [indiscernible] >> also today, president trump welcomed the prime minister of

paul garriott to the white house for bilateral talks and a meeting in the oval office which was briefly opened to the press. >> thank you so much. we are going to work on that problem. i wanted to thank the prime minister of bulgaria for being here. it is an honor to have you at the white house come here in the oval office. we have a meeting coming up in a little while where you will have your representatives and i will have my representatives. they have purchased a lot of military equipment from the united states, the best equipment in the world. and i look forward to our meeting.

>> [indiscernible] >> that is very good. we have a big nato meeting coming up. we have had a very good relationship. we are going to formalize some things. the relationship we have with all gary has been very strong. great people. -- with bulgaria has been very strong. great people. >> [indiscernible] >> we have been thinking about that for a long time. that did not just happen. i have to protect my war fighters. a lot of were fighters and people in the military have thanked us very much.

it is about time. i had one young man in for six years. he had many years to go. a lot of people did not think we should be there. with eddie gallagher, you know the story well. not take itwould away. he was a great writer. an ultimate fighter. i tough guy. these are not weak people. they are tough people. we are going to protect our war fighters. great specialme forces people come to the white house and they brought conan. they were here for themselves also. they gave us a rundown of what happened with all by daddy -- with al-baghdadi. they were very grateful. someone has their back and it is called -- and he is called the

president of the united states. aboutt are you thinking the friendship? >> we have a great friendship. they are great people. a lot of people from bulgaria are in this country. they have become citizens of the united states. we are going to be talking about the visa program per the request of your prime minister. they are great people and we have a very good relationship. >> [indiscernible] >> i think what i am doing is sticking up for our armed forces. there has never been a president that will stick up for them and has like i have including the play $5t we spent to trillion building up our armed forces. very unfair things were happening. you let sergeant bergdahl go. you let others go including a personentleman, now a

whopresident obama let go stole tremendous amounts of classified information. and you let that person go. but, sergeant bergdahl, we just lost another man -- he died last week. he was paralyzed from about the neck down and he died last week. going after sergeant bergdahl. trying to find him. when you have a system that allows sergeant bergdahl to go and you probably had five or six people killed. no one knows the number. because he left. and he gets a slap on the wrist if that and then you have a system where these warriors get put in jail for 25 years, i am going to stick up for the warriors. thank you very much, everybody. this is what i'm talking about, chelsea manning. if you had any doubt. you have chelsea manning who after chelsea manning was i

assume pardoned by president obama, chelsea manning went around and badmouth president obama on top of everything else. so when you have a chelsea manning who stole classified information and did many things that were not good and gets pardoned or whatever happened and you have a sergeant bergdahl who gets virtually nothing, a slap on the wrist. and then they want to put these warriors in jail for 25 years? one of them served six years in jail and has many years left. as a fighter. no, we're not going to do that to our people. >> [indiscernible] >> i don't know. rudy is a great guy. he covered that himself, you know that. rudy is a best mayor in the history of new york, in my opinion. the strongest mayor, the best mayor.

he was a great crimefighter and corruption fighter. probably the best in 50 years both while he was here and the u.s. attorney in the southern district. rudy is a great person. i think that may be the press is not treating rudy very well and i think that is unfair. but rudy was a great mayor and a great crimefighter. >thank you very much. >> [indiscernible] >> i might come. it is a country where we have a lot in common. we have a prime minister that we like a lot so that could happen. thank you very much, everybody. thank you, everybody. -- i can tell you that it is sitting on nancy pelosi's desk. please. please. , the great trade

deal for the farmers, manufacturers, workers of all types including unions -- it is sitting on nancy pelosi's desk. she is incapable of moving it it looks like. she knows it is a great deal. she said it. she keeps saying that she wants to get it done but we are talking about many months sitting on the desk with no votes. i guess all of the republicans will vote for it. it worksm is, the way is she has to put it out for a vote. she has not wanted to do it because i understand a couple of are asking afl cio her to hold it for a little while. i get a lot of votes from them except for maybe at the top. richard trumka, nice guy. nancy pelosi should put it up for a vote because at some point

you will have canada and mexico say --what is going on? send the agreement back. let us not make the deal. i would not blame them at all. we have to blame nancy. this is a phenomenal deal for our farmers and everybody. a great deal for our country. it replaces one of the worst trade deals ever made, nafta. we have a great deal and she just to put it up for a vote. she doesn't have to talk to anyone. just say she's putting it up for a vote, like immediately. a lot of time is wasting. mexico will pull it pretty soon. it is her fault. we have to get going. thank you very much. >> [indiscernible] >> thank you very much.
