Thank you.
I've said this repeatedly.
I don't know why it's so hard for some to comprehend it, so let me repeat it again.
A visa, no one's entitled to a visa.
There is no constitutional right to a visa.
A visa is a permission to enter our country as a visitor.
If you enter our country as a visitor, and as a visitor in our country, be it a student, a tourist, a journalist, whatever you want to be,
and you undertake activities that are against the national interest, the national security of the United States, we will take away your visa.
In fact, if we knew you were going to do it, we probably wouldn't have given you your visa.
the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration.
And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you.
We are part of one civilization,
Western civilization.
We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry.
And so this is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our council.
This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.
The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply.
We care deeply about your future and ours.
We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.
100%.
