The economic success of South Korea and the prospect that North Korea might one day have a cultural unity again and an economic success must be the greatest carrot of all.

Let us celebrate the meeting of our minds and rejoice in the warm friendship between America and Korea.

With great respect, I ask everyone here to join me in a toast to you, Mr. President, and to the Republic of Korea for peace, for democracy, for eventual unification, and for continued prosperity.

Now we're doing that, and we can ask the other nations to play their part as well.

The struggle for freedom and democracy and opportunity is, indeed, a marathon.

Your values and your valor have led the people of Korea to a new level of freedom.

It is a fair deal and an equitable deal.

North Korea must understand our intentions.

I reassured President Kim of my commitment to ensure that the United States continues to play its historic role.

The American people are willing to make some tough choices, and now your nations must do the same thing so that together we can get the world's economy growing again.

Both nations have made some tough choices.

We are not interested in managed trade or trade by numbers but better results from better rules of trade.

This was a good agreement, and it would work, and it was worth doing.

We will persevere successfully with respect to the reductions in the budget deficit that we've already moved forward with.

Are there differences between our two countries and between our positions? Of course there are.

Even in this new era, I don't think that will ever change.

Our country has never shied away from challenges.

The framework presents the rules of the game, not the game.
