Donald Trump and Melania Trump

“ You not only know the pain of sacrifice, but you also know the tremendous rewards of military service -- of being part of something much larger than even yourselves. You know what it means to be part of a military team in which men and women are bound together in a sacred covenant of trust -- to serve together, to sacrifice together, and to fight together. ”

“ Americans fought and died to liberate Europe from the evils of Nazism -- you know that -- and Fascism. American military power helped to free the world from the oppression of communism. And today, Americans like you are battling the sinister forces of terrorism throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and the world. American military history is rich with noble traditions, harrowing missions, and selfless heroes -- like your parents. ”

“ The nations of the Middle East have endured one terrorist attack after another -- and I called on them to take on the burden of fighting this evil that has killed so many innocent Muslims. During this unprecedented gathering, we opened a new center to combat extremist ideology, launched a task force to block funding for terrorists, and agreed to massive economic development deals, the likes of which there has never been, that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs in the United States, building the equipment that has just been ordered by Saudi Arabia. ”

“ To our friends and allies, you are the ultimate reassurance -- to our enemies, you are the ultimate deterrent. Youre the metal spine forged out of the fires of American strength. And you notice how much stronger we're getting? ”

“ You are the men and women who make up the most powerful military in the world -- and under my administration -- as you know, you've seen it, right -- under my administration, stronger and stronger every single day. ”

“ Terrorism is a threat -- bad threat -- to all of humanity -- and together, we will overcome this threat. We will win. [Applause] But none of what we achieve would be possible without our wonderful military spouses and families. ”

“ You're going to do a lot of winning. And my pledge to you is that we will always protect those who protect us. You are protecting us, and we will always remember that and we will always, always protect you. ”

“ Great people. We made a lot of good friends this week, I'll tell you, a lot of good friends. They're good people.
America is very blessed with a lot of great diplomats. And I have to say this, as she just walks over here -- but I don't think the United States could possibly have a better emissary than our magnificent, and wonderful person, our First Lady, Melania. ”

“ We have already made a historic investment in defense spending -- youve been reading about it -- because we believe -- and you know this. Whats the expression? Peace through strength. Peace through strength -- right? Youll understand that when you get a little bit older. Peace through strength. ”

“ It's only fair to the United States. We want to be treated fairly. And we're behind NATO all the way, but we want to be treated fairly. All of us will be more safe and secure if everyone fulfills their obligations the way theyre supposed to.
Right? Look at this man. He's over there -- he's agreeing with me a hundred percent. Most people agree with it. Next, I attended the G-7 right here in Sicily, and made great progress toward , very vital goals. I laid out my vision for economic growth and fair trade in support of good-paying jobs, and even great-paying middle-class jobs, and more. ”

“ I was deeply encouraged to hear from the leaders of many Muslim and Arab nations that they are ready to take on a greater role in combating terrorism, and providing young Muslims in their region with a future of safety and a future of opportunity. ”

“ Then, I traveled to two summits with our key allies -- first at a NATO summit in Brussels, where we agreed to improve the burden-sharing among members of our Alliance, and to further confront the shared threat of terrorism. Other member nations must pay more. [Applause] The U.S. is currently paying much more than any other nation, and that is not fair to the United States or the United States taxpayer. ”

“ We're going to have a lot of strength, but we're going to have a lot of peace. We will buy the planes, the ships, vehicles and equipment you need to get the job done -- and to come home safe and sound back to your families. ”

“ So we're working on it, and I will tell you, a big difference over the last year. Money is actually starting to pour into NATO from countries that would not have been doing what they're doing now had I not been elected, I can tell you that. Money is starting to pour in. ”
