And this is an incredible win for all our countries. This is something the United States has been driving for for over a year, building momentum up to this achievement. I believe we made tangible progress on each of these issues, in part because of the commitment that the United States has brought to the table.įor example, I’m proud that the G20 endorsed the global minimum tax. He did one heck of a job leading the G20 through a difficult year marked by great global challenges, critically among them: ending the pandemic driving a broad-based, sustainable global economic recovery and tackling the climate crisis. We can get things done together.Īnd so, I want to thank the Italian people, by the way, for the G20, for their hospitality, and congratulate Prime Minister Draghi. I found my one-on-one engagements with so many of the leaders, and the importance of strong, personal relationships never feels - it never ceases to amaze me when it’s - you’re looking at someone straight in the eye when you’re trying to get something done. I found in all of my meetings here, both the larger sessions and the one-on-one sessions - and I had many of those - a real eagerness among our partners and allies for American leadership to help bring the world together and solve some of these big problems. And there’s really no substitute for face-to-face discussions and negotiations among the leaders when it comes to building an understanding and cooperation.

Steve Doocy indeed confirmed that his son took no offense to the insult, adding he’s a “big boy.” I think the fact that he called, the president called after, is a great sign, right?” “They still, at the end of the day, respected each other. This morning on Fox & Friends, which features Doocy’s father Steve Doocy as a co-host, Brian Kilmeade compared the incident to sideline shouting matches between New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and former quarterback Tom Brady. And he said, “You’ve got to.” And that’s a quote from the president. Doocy then appeared on Hannity on Monday night and told the host that the president called him earlier to clear the air-and told him that it was “nothing personal, pal.”Īfter years of clips of the president and kind of mixing it up on the campaign trail and during the transition, and here at the White House, within about an hour of that exchange, he called my cell phone and he said, “It’s nothing personal, pal.” And we went back and forth and we were talking bout just kind of moving forward and I made sure to tell him that I’m always going to try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking. What a stupid son of a bitch.” The president was seemingly unaware that his mic was still on.ĭoocy appeared on The Five not long after the soundbite went viral and seemed to take the remark in stride, even laughing at Jesse Watters’ joking that he agreed with the president’s assessment of Doocy as a stupid SOB.
