United Kingdom

Q. Mr. President, what would you consider your biggest accomplishments while in Scotland? Is it the EU trade deal, your talks with the U.K. leader?

Former President Barack Obama

Q. Mr. President, do you think that Congress should start impeachment proceedings against Barack Obama? He——

The President. Well, it's not impeachment. He's out of office.

Q. You—well——

The President. But they should do something, because you have to recognize the wrong that they've done. That can never be allowed to happen again.

Q. Thank you, sir.

Q. Thank you.

Q. Any comment on the New York shooting, Mr. President? Any comment on the New York shooting?

The President. Which one?

Q. The shooting in New York.

Q. In New York.

The President. It's a terrible thing, obviously. I put out a statement. It's so bad. It's so sad to see.

He's a lunatic, and we just have to stop it. These people come in, and we never want to see a thing like that happen.

And we've expressed our opinion very, very strongly. Terrible thing.

[Several reporters spoke at once.]

Q. Mr. President, you said earlier that Jeffrey Epstein was stealing young women—you said Jeffrey Epstein was stealing young woman from your spa. Did that raise alarm bells for you?

Q. Did that raise alarm bells for you?

Tariffs/South Korea

Q. [Inaudible]—South Korea. Are you going to finish tomorrow?

The President. Finish what tomorrow?

Q. Tariffs. The tariff talks.

The President. The tariffs? No, we're not—won't be finished tomorrow. But our country is becoming very rich, and that's what we want. We have to have a rich America. And we're taking in a lot of money. And it's—we're becoming very strong and very rich.

Thank you.
