President Donald Trump welcomed the New England Patriots to the White House on Wednesday to honor the team for their historic Super Bowl LI comeback victory earlier this year.
In a 15-minute ceremony on the South Lawn, Trump delivered congratulatory remarks, before yielding the podium to Patriots owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick. Footage of the full event (above) was posted on the White House’s YouTube page.
White House officials also transcribed Wednesday’s remarks from Trump, Kraft, and Belichick — which can be read below:

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
