STATEMENT BY PRESIDENCY ON THE PROTESTS BY THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN)

The actions of CAN in recent days represent the peaceful right of all Nigerians to protest & express their views on matters of religion, ethics, politics & society.
The origination of their protests is the shocking, unacceptable death of Pastor Lawan Andimi at the hands of Boko Haram. The President feels their pain, and that of his family, for his loss.
The President believes, as does every member of his administration, both Christian and Muslim, in the words of CAN’s placards: “All life is sacred.”

President Trump and PM Abe Sign New Market Access Agreement.
The new agreement slashes tariffs and opens new markets to $7 billion in U.S. agriculture. Additionally, the deal reduces barriers on the $40 billion of digital trade between the two countries.
Note: This is an original edit that edited a 15 min down to 2:20 so we can pass it around. I had to remove Abe and his translator's comments (sorry Abe) as well as part of the applause. It contains everything Trump said at the signing.
