Barack Obama

The American instinct has never been to seek isolation in opposite corners; it is to find strength in our common creed and forge unity from our great diversity.

War is not just a victory or a loss, but about individual lives.

This is what makes us the greatest nation on Earth.

Change is never easy, but it is always necessary.

To know that even one life has breathed easier because you lived, that is success.

Fighting for what is right is always worth it.

I may engage in here, because I'm worried that there's going to be a vacuum.

There’s a strong alignment of interests between the United States and Australia.

Justin's personal voice on issues of refugees and the humanitarian concerns that we share has been a really important component of the success of things like our leadership Summit on Refugees at the U.N.

The main reflection I have and the main advice that I give to the incoming President is, the United States really is an indispensable nation in our world order.

Canada has been an outstanding partner in the fight against terrorism.

Australia has been our most stalwart ally when it comes to troop deployments and the effort there.

The touchstone is, what's good for the American people.

I continue to believe that America will have a vital role to play in creating and sustaining a strong, enduring leadership role in the Asia Pacific.

I think it's important for us to understand those are our key allies in this fight, not enemies.

That is a central part of our work in APEC, to find ways that we can raise standards for trade across the region and bring benefits to more of our people.

The answer is not to pull back or try to erect barriers to trade.

Through conservative governments, liberal governments, Democratic or Republican governments, the relationship between the United States and Canada is one of the most important constants in the world.

Exports support more than 11 million American jobs.

The friendship, the bonds, the links between Canada and the United States are obviously unparalleled.

Peru is one of the United States' strongest partners in the Americas.

I believe that TPP is a plus for America's economy, America's workers, American jobs.

We’re going to do everything we can to have a strong handoff and continuity in the new administration.

I have to say that there are few leaders around the world who I think combine vision and talent and values the way that Justin does.

The U.S.-Australia alliance will remain as robust as ever, because it transcends party politics.
