I have been disappointed in the approach and tenor of the Japanese negotiators recently, but we will continue to seek a resolution that will advance both sides' interests. Finally, I want to point briefly to some successes in South America. And I will be going to Chile in April, to meet with transportation ministers from throughout the hemisphere. Jobs are created. Consumers reap better fares globally.
Money is pumped into local economies.
I value the efforts you have put into making these aviation agreements work. And, I challenge other countries to look at what we have done, to see that opening markets is good for all. To be sure there is so much more we can, and will do. But we're on the right track. For I've always believed that American companies, that American workers, can compete anywhere in the world if we are given the opportunity.
