With the
pandemic worsening, and more contagious variants emerging around the world,
this is not the time to be lifting restrictions on international travel.
On the
advice of our medical team, the Administration does not intend to lift these
restrictions on 1/26.
In fact, we plan to strengthen public health measures around international
travel in order to further mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Remarks by President Trump
In Farewell Address to the Nation
My fellow Americans: Four years ago, we
launched a great national effort to rebuild our country, to renew its spirit,
and to restore the allegiance of this government to its citizens. In short, we
embarked on a mission to make America great again — for
all Americans.
As I conclude my term as the 45th President
of the United States, I stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved
together. We did what we came here to do — and so much more.
This week, we inaugurate a new administration
and pray for its success in keeping America safe and
prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck
— a very important word.
I’d like to begin by thanking just a few of
the amazing people who made our remarkable journey possible. （家族、副大統領以下、名前を列挙）
Most of all, I want to thank the American
people. To serve as your President has been an honor beyond description. Thank
you for this extraordinary privilege. And that’s what it is — a great privilege
and a great honor.
We must never forget that while Americans
will always have our disagreements, we are a nation of incredible, decent,
faithful, and peace-loving citizens who all want our country to thrive and
flourish and be very, very successful and good. We are a truly magnificent
nation.
All Americans were
horrified by the assault on our Capitol. Political violence is an attack on
everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated.
Now more than ever, we must unify around our
shared values and rise above the partisan rancor, and forge our common destiny.
Four years ago, I came to Washington as the
only true outsider ever to win the presidency. I had not spent my career as a
politician, but as a builder looking at open skylines and imagining infinite
possibilities. I ran for President because I knew there were towering new
summits for America just waiting to be scaled. I knew the potential for our
nation was boundless as long as we put America first.
So I left behind my former life and stepped
into a very difficult arena, but an arena nevertheless, with all sorts of
potential if properly done. America had given me so much, and I wanted to give
something back.
Together with millions of hardworking
patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the
history of our country. We also built the greatest economy in the history of the
world. It was about “America First” because we all wanted to make America great
again. We restored the principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Our
agenda was not about right or left, it wasn’t about Republican or Democrat, but
about the good of a nation, and that means the whole nation.
With the support and prayers of the American
people, we achieved more than anyone thought possible. Nobody thought we could
even come close.
We passed the largest package of
tax cuts and reforms in American history. We slashed more
job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before. We
fixed our broken trade deals, withdrew from the
horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership and the
impossible Paris Climate Accord, renegotiated the
one-sided South Korea deal, and we replaced NAFTA
with the groundbreaking USMCA — that’s Mexico and
Canada — a deal that’s worked out very, very well.
Also, and very importantly, we imposed
historic and monumental tariffs on China; made a
great new deal with China. But before the ink was even dry, we and the whole
world got hit with the China virus. Our trade
relationship was rapidly changing, billions and billions of dollars were pouring
into the U.S., but the virus forced us to go in a different direction.
The whole world suffered, but America
outperformed other countries economically because of our incredible economy and
the economy that we built. Without the foundations and footings, it wouldn’t
have worked out this way. We wouldn’t have some of the best numbers we’ve ever
had.
We also unlocked our
energy resources and became the world’s number-one producer of oil and
natural gas by far. Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in
the history of the world. We reignited America’s job creation and achieved
record-low unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian
Americans, women — almost everyone.
Incomes soared, wages boomed, the
American Dream was restored, and millions were
lifted from poverty in just a few short years. It was a miracle. The
stock market set one record after another, with 148
stock market highs during this short period of time, and boosted the retirements
and pensions of hardworking citizens all across our nation. 401(k)s are at a
level they’ve never been at before. We’ve never seen numbers like we’ve seen,
and that’s before the pandemic and after the pandemic.
We rebuilt the American manufacturing base,
opened up thousands of new factories, and brought back the beautiful phrase: “Made
in the USA.”
To make life better for working families, we
doubled the child tax credit and signed the
largest-ever expansion of funding for childcare and development. We joined with
the private sector to secure commitments to train more than 16 million American
workers for the jobs of tomorrow.
When our nation was hit with the terrible
pandemic, we produced not one, but two vaccines
with record-breaking speed, and more will quickly follow. They said it couldn’t
be done but we did it. They call it a “medical miracle,” and that’s what they’re
calling it right now: a “medical miracle.”
Another administration would have taken 3, 4,
5, maybe even up to 10 years to develop a vaccine. We did in nine months.
We grieve for every life lost, and we pledge
in their memory to wipe out this horrible pandemic once and for all.
When the virus took its brutal toll on the
world’s economy, we launched the fastest economic recovery our country has ever
seen. We passed nearly $4 trillion in economic relief, saved or supported over
50 million jobs, and slashed the unemployment rate in half. These are numbers
that our country has never seen before.
We created choice and transparency in
healthcare, stood up to big pharma in so many ways,
but especially in our effort to get favored-nations clauses added, which will
give us the lowest prescription drug prices anywhere in the world.
We passed VA Choice, VA Accountability, Right
to Try, and landmark criminal justice reform.
We confirmed three new justices of the
United States Supreme Court. We appointed nearly
300 federal judges to interpret our Constitution as written.
For years, the American people pleaded with
Washington to finally secure the nation’s borders.
I am pleased to say we answered that plea and achieved the most secure border in
U.S. history. We have given our brave border agents and heroic ICE officers the
tools they need to do their jobs better than they have ever done before, and to
enforce our laws and keep America safe.
We proudly leave the next administration with
the strongest and most robust border security measures ever put into place. This
includes historic agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador,
along with more than 450 miles of powerful new wall.
We restored American
strength at home and American leadership abroad. The world respects us
again. Please don’t lose that respect.
We reclaimed our sovereignty by standing up
for America at the United Nations and withdrawing
from the one-sided global deals that never served our interests. And
NATO countries are now paying hundreds of billions
of dollars more than when I arrived just a few years ago. It was very unfair. We
were paying the cost for the world. Now the world is helping us.
And perhaps most importantly of all, with
nearly $3 trillion, we fully rebuilt the American military
— all made in the USA. We launched the first new branch of the United States
Armed Forces in 75 years: the Space Force. And last spring, I stood at Kennedy
Space Center in Florida and watched as American astronauts returned to space on
American rockets for the first time in many, many years.
We revitalized our alliances and rallied the
nations of the world to stand up to China like
never before.
We obliterated the ISIS
caliphate and ended the wretched life of its founder and leader, al Baghdadi. We
stood up to the oppressive Iranian regime and killed the world’s top terrorist,
Iranian butcher Qasem Soleimani.
We recognized Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan
Heights.
As a result of our bold diplomacy and
principled realism, we achieved a series of historic peace deals in the
Middle East. Nobody believed it could happen. The
Abraham Accords opened the doors to a future of peace and harmony, not violence
and bloodshed. It is the dawn of a new Middle East, and we are bringing our
soldiers home.
I am especially proud to be the first
President in decades who has started no new wars.
Above all, we have reasserted the sacred idea
that, in America, the government answers to the people. Our guiding light, our
North Star, our unwavering conviction has been that we are here to serve the
noble everyday citizens of America. Our allegiance is not to the special
interests, corporations, or global entities; it’s to our children, our citizens,
and to our nation itself.
As President, my top priority, my constant
concern, has always been the best interests of American workers and American
families. I did not seek the easiest course; by far, it was actually the most
difficult. I did not seek the path that would get the least criticism. I took on
the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most difficult choices because that’s
what you elected me to do. Your needs were my first and last unyielding focus.
This, I hope, will be our greatest legacy:
Together, we put the American people back in charge of our country. We restored
self-government. We restored the idea that in America no one is forgotten,
because everyone matters and everyone has a voice. We fought for the principle
that every citizen is entitled to equal dignity, equal treatment, and equal
rights because we are all made equal by God. Everyone is entitled to be treated
with respect, to have their voice heard, and to have their government listen.
You are loyal to your country, and my administration was always loyal to you.
We worked to build a country in which every
citizen could find a great job and support their wonderful families. We fought
for the communities where every American could be safe and schools where every
child could learn. We promoted a culture where our laws would be upheld, our
heroes honored, our history preserved, and law-abiding citizens are never taken
for granted. Americans should take tremendous satisfaction in all that we have
achieved together. It’s incredible.
Now, as I leave the White House, I have been
reflecting on the dangers that threaten the priceless inheritance we all share.
As the world’s most powerful nation, America faces constant threats and
challenges from abroad. But the greatest danger we face is
a loss of confidence in ourselves, a loss of confidence in our national
greatness. A nation is only as strong as its spirit. We are only as
dynamic as our pride. We are only as vibrant as the faith that beats in the
hearts of our people.
No nation can long thrive that loses faith in
its own values, history, and heroes, for these are the very sources of our unity
and our vitality.
What has always allowed America to prevail
and triumph over the great challenges of the past has been an unyielding and
unashamed conviction in the nobility of our country and its unique purpose in
history. We must never lose this conviction. We must never forsake our belief in
America.
The key to national greatness lies in
sustaining and instilling our shared national identity. That means focusing on
what we have in common: the heritage that we all share.
At the center of this heritage is also a
robust belief in free expression, free speech, and open debate. Only if we
forget who we are, and how we got here, could we ever allow political censorship
and blacklisting to take place in America. It’s not even thinkable. Shutting
down free and open debate violates our core values and most enduring traditions.
In America, we don’t insist on absolute conformity or enforce rigid orthodoxies
and punitive speech codes. We just don’t do that. America is not a timid nation
of tame souls who need to be sheltered and protected from those with whom we
disagree. That’s not who we are. It will never be who we are.
For nearly 250 years, in the face of every
challenge, Americans have always summoned our unmatched courage, confidence, and
fierce independence. These are the miraculous traits that once led millions of
everyday citizens to set out across a wild continent and carve out a new life in
the great West. It was the same profound love of our God-given freedom that
willed our soldiers into battle and our astronauts into space.
As I think back on the past four years, one
image rises in my mind above all others. Whenever I traveled all along the
motorcade route, there were thousands and thousands of people. They came out
with their families so that they could stand as we passed, and proudly wave our
great American flag. It never failed to deeply move me. I knew that they did not
just come out to show their support of me; they came out to show me their
support and love for our country.
This is a republic of proud citizens who are
united by our common conviction that America is the greatest nation in all of
history. We are, and must always be, a land of hope, of light, and of glory to
all the world. This is the precious inheritance that we must safeguard at every
single turn.
For the past four years, I have worked to do
just that. From a great hall of Muslim leaders in Riyadh to a great square of
Polish people in Warsaw; from the floor of the Korean Assembly to the podium at
the United Nations General Assembly; and from the Forbidden City in Beijing to
the shadow of Mount Rushmore, I fought for you, I fought for your family, I
fought for our country. Above all, I fought for America and all it stands for —
and that is safe, strong, proud, and free.
Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new
administration at noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that
the movement we started is only just beginning.
There’s never been anything like it. The belief that a nation must serve its
citizens will not dwindle but instead only grow stronger by the day.
As long as the American people hold in their
hearts deep and devoted love of country, then there is nothing that this nation
cannot achieve. Our communities will flourish. Our people will be prosperous.
Our traditions will be cherished. Our faith will be strong. And our future will
be brighter than ever before.
I go from this majestic place with a loyal
and joyful heart, an optimistic spirit, and a supreme confidence that for our
country and for our children, the best is yet to come.
Thank you, and farewell. God bless you. God
bless the United States of America.

Commission puts in place
transparency and authorisation mechanism for exports of COVID-19
vaccines
In an effort to ensure
timely access to COVID-19 vaccines for all EU citizens
and to tackle the current lack of
transparency of vaccine exports outside the EU, the
Commission has today put in place a measure requiring that such
exports are subject to an authorisation by Member States.
President of the European
Commission Ursula von der Leyen said:
“The pandemic is having devastating effects in Europe and
all around the world. Protecting the health of our citizens
remains our utmost priority, and we must put in place the
necessary measures to ensure we achieve this. This transparency
and authorisation mechanism is temporary, and we will of course
continue to uphold our commitments towards low and middle income
countries.”
Executive Vice-President and
Commissioner for Trade Valdis Dombrovskis
said: “This time-limited and targeted system covers only
those COVID-19 vaccines that were agreed by Advanced Purchase
Agreements with the EU. The aim is to provide greater clarity on
vaccine production in the EU and their exports – this
transparency has been lacking and is vital at this time. This
mechanism includes a wide range of
exemptions to fully honour our humanitarian aid
commitments and protect vaccines deliveries to our neighbourhood,
and to countries in need covered by the
COVAX-facility.”
Commissioner for Health and
Food Safety Stella Kyriakides said:
“For the best part of the last year we worked hard to get
Advance Purchase Agreements with vaccine producers to bring
vaccines to the citizens, in Europe and beyond. We gave upfront
funding to companies to build the necessary manufacturing
capacity to produce vaccines, so deliveries can start as soon as
they are authorised. We now need transparency on where the
vaccines we secured are going and ensure that they reach our
citizens. We are accountable towards the European citizens and
taxpayers – that is a key principle for us.”
The Commission has invested
large amounts in the development of the production capacity of
vaccine developers in the EU. This with the aim to ensure
quicker delivery of vaccines to the European citizens, support
planning and vaccination strategies with the ultimate goal to
protect public health. It is therefore reasonable for the EU to
monitor how the funds disbursed under the
Advance Purchase Agreements (APA) have been used,
especially in a context of potential shortages of essential
COVID-19 vaccines. The main purpose is to offer
public transparency to the European
citizens. The transparency and authorisation system will
require companies to notify the Member State authorities about
the intention to export vaccines produced in the European Union.
The export authorisation
scheme
This implementing act,
adopted by urgency procedure and published today, provides
for authorisations of exports outside the
EU of COVID-19 vaccines until the
end of March 2021. This scheme only applies to exports
from companies with whom the EU has
concluded Advance Purchased Agreements.
Based on the previous
experience with a similar measure on personal protective
equipment in Spring 2020, the Commission will assist Member
States in setting up the relevant mechanism to ensure a smooth
and coordinated implementation of the regulation.
This measure is targeted,
proportionate, transparent and temporary. It is fully consistent
with the EU's international commitment under the World Trade
Organization and the G20, and in line with what the EU has
proposed in the context of the WTO trade and health initiative.
Committed to international solidarity, the EU excluded from this
scheme vaccine supplies for humanitarian aid or destined to
countries under the COVAX facility, as well as our neighbourhood.
About the EU's vaccine
strategy
The European Commission
presented on 17 June a European strategy to accelerate the
development, manufacturing and deployment of effective and safe
vaccines against COVID-19. In return for the right to buy a
specified number of vaccine doses in a given timeframe, the
Commission finances part of the upfront costs faced by vaccines
producers in the form of Advance Purchase Agreements (APA).
Funding provided is considered as a
down-payment on the vaccines that will actually be
purchased by Member States. The APA is therefore a de-risk
investment upfront against a
binding commitment from the company to pre-produce, even before
it gets marketing authorisation. This should allow for a
quick and steady delivery as soon as the authorisation has been
granted.
