Good afternoon. We have had a very productive week. The United States was out in full force, and i think the u. N. Felt it but i think it was extremely productive you look at the beginning of the week and it started with un reform. You had massive reforms for the u. N. What was extraordinary was we had 130 countries that have signed on to that reform. That is over two thirds of the general assembly, which is who will vote on this at the end. That was a great start to the week. Then, you saw the president s address. I think it showed the strength of the u. S. But it also asked the world to come together. It asked the countries to come together as we fight these rogue regimes, mainly, north korea and iran. I think what you saw were how a lot of countries responded. They were positive to the speech and appreciated how blunt and honest he was. I think that has been the overall theme from the International Community this week. How straightforward he was and how refreshing it was as they heard him speak. We also today we met with our allies japan and south korea. Obviously a lot to talk about with north korea so we had a , good conversation with them. The president reassured japan and south korea but they talked about strategies going forward. On iran, that was the topic of conversation throughout the week. I think everyone was talking about the destabilizing activities they continue to do throughout the middle east, whether it is in syria, iraq, lebanon, yemen, and the list goes on. It is something we will continue to talk about in the forward with so we can stop reckless behavior. We cohosted a meeting with secretary Boris Johnson as well as the Dutch Foreign minister on human rights reform. We talked about the fact that it needed to be representative of its name. We have a lot of bad actors on that counsel, will president Vice President spoke about it and the need to see better quality countries on that counsel in order for it to be effective. Obviously for the United States to stay on it. If we do not see changes in the human rights council, we will continue to advocate that we advocate, but we will do it on our own if we have to. The Vice President attended a Security Council meeting yesterday on peacekeeping reform. We have made great progress these past several months in terms of performing peacekeeping. This is going toward a political solution. It is transparent and accountable. Were also giving the troops the equipment they need and the ability to be trained in order to do their job. We are just seeing smarter peacekeeping and i think that came together in the piece be reform vote we had yesterday. One of the topics that everyone had to talk about this week was burma. As we are dealing with the crisis there and seeing how much migration has taken place, every country is concerned. They are concerned that the military continues to be aggressive and they are concerned that the government continues to be in denial. I think you will see the International Community continue to talk about that. I think you will only see them get more active on that as we go forward. Finally, the Security Council took a great step forward. It was a measure that i think the International Community has been working on for a long time. We worked with our british friends and that was isis accountability in iraq. If you look at the fact that mass graves in terrible conducts to women and girls in those areas, whether it is what is happening with christians are sunni and shia muslims, what we now have is part of the u. N. Body that will go in there and collect evidence and make sure it can be used in trials so that the victims have their say and get their day in court, or at least their families do it if they have lost loved ones. That was a big day for the Security Council. With that, there was a lot more. The president met with multiple countries. There were lots of talks and planning and productivity. Overall, we can say it was a solid week at the u. N. It was highly successful. I will answer any of your questions. Reporter why do you expect this latest round of sanctions to work . Ambassador haley in reference to what secretary mnuchin talked about. This is amazing because when you look at the sanctions, north korea is already seeing them. Feeling it. You can see the lines at the gas station and the fact that they are having a severe reduction in revenues. The sanctions are working. What this does is take it a step further. This says anyone that deals with north korea, any Financial Institution that deals with north korea will be punished. I think this is important. It is like secretary mnuchin said, if youre going to be supporting north korea you have , to be prepared to be sanctioned as well. Reporter you said sanctions have been working. [indiscernible] Ambassador Haley we always knew the sanctions may not work. But the goal of the sanctions was always intended to be is to cut the revenues they can do less of their reckless behavior. If they do not have the funding for the Ballistic Missiles and nuclear production, then they can do less of it. That is the goal of the sanctions. It doesnt mean it will necessarily change attitude or belief, but it will slow down the production of the nuclear process going forward. Reporter when the president spoke about totally destroying north korea if forced to defend ourselves and allies, what exactly did he mean . Under what circumstances when he consider destroying north korea. Ambassador haley i think that is common sense. We have said multiple times. The president and members of his team have said it. We do not want war. That is the last thing anyone wants. We do not want loss of life. But we will not run scared. If north korea attacks the united days or our allies, the u. S. Will respond. Period. That is what is going to happen. We continue to go through diplomatic measures and exhaust everything we have, and the key is that other countries actually support the sanctions and follow through with them and they also continue to isolate north korea until we can get them to come to the negotiating table. Until then, that is just the reality. If they were to strike the United States, of course we would have to respond. Reporter to clarify, you are specifically saying that if north korea attacks first. Ambassador haley we cant play of the scenarios on will happen, but theres a lot of things between what will happen now and what can be done. There are a lot of military options that can be done. The president will not spell out specifically what he will do, when or where. But there are many options he discussed with the National Security team that should north korea do anything irresponsible or reckless, that he has to choose from. Reporter thank you. Just a quick one on north korea and i have a question on iran. Administration has said this is not aimed at china, but china told its bank not to do business with north korea. Secretary mnuchin said he called chinese. How is this not especially talked about how china is really the Main Financial backer. How can this not only be directed at china . On iran, is there a way to talk about, to ramp up Iran Destabilizing activities drop the middle east, which i think a lot of your allies agree on, without violating the agreements as secretary tillerson said . Is there a way to get allies to rally around more terrorism type and other sanctions while keeping the nuclear provisions in place . Ambassador haley with the sanctions on north korea, it only impacts those that continue to do business with north korea. If china does business, it will impact them. There countries in africa, it will impact them. It depends on countries that use to continue to support north korea over the rest of the world that is asking them not to. In reference to iran, you have a couple of processes that take place. On october 15, the president has the decision to make on whether to certify or decertify. That is u. S. Law. That has nothing to do with the jcpoa or the iran deal. U. S. Law requires the president every 90 days to decide whether the iran deal and other elements of the u. N. Resolution, which would include Ballistic Missile testing and arms smuggling and support of terrorism, it asks the president to look at all of those things. If he still thinks the deal is in the best interest of the United States, then he certifies. If he thinks the situation is not the best interest of the american public, then he doesnt certify. At that point, he goes to it goes to congress. He works with congress on how to reshape the situation. The iran deal and u. S. Law are two different things. Reporter are you saying that he could discertify without without withdrawing from the deal . Ambassador haley yes. What we are looking at is the fact that the resolution that was in play, what we saw was it basically wrapped in with the nuclear deal. It said if iran did any of these , things, it would be in violation. Since then, the secretarygeneral came out they has come out with a report saying they have violated all of those things. Support for terrorism, arms smuggling, the idea they continue to do Ballistic Missile testing and they need to be called out for that. That is something you will see us do as we go forward in the United Nations to make sure they know because we did the nuclear deal doesnt give them a pass on all the other things they are doing wrong. Reporter you said in your opening remarks that one topic everyone has an opinion about is burma. The president gave an address today and he didnt mention the country at all. Did you have [inaudible] Ambassador Haley i can tell you he is very concerned about verma. About burma. He talked to the National Security team and asked exactly what is going to be done. He asked the Vice President to speak about it in his speech, which is why we had. He has been very involved in the decisionmaking. I think he, like every leader, can tell you were scratching our heads. All this has happened in three weeks. You have almost half a Million People who have left, and the tragedies and abuse that happened there are things a lot of people cannot stomach. If you listen to all of the leaders, everybody is trying to figure out who can move the officials in burma. Reporter [inaudible] he is veryhaley concerned about verma. The Vice President was passionately was speaking because the president asked him to. Reporter [inaudible] Ambassador Haley not only have we pressed her, we present the we pressed the military. We had two things happening. Secretary tillerson called her and discussed the situation with her. He also said we have had a relationship with you but it cannot continue. Been veryyou have vocal on the shortcomings of the iran deal and irans behavior. Beyond the confines of your job, where does that come from . Is it your own direct opinion after hearing about iranian behavior here . Or through conversations with the president . Talk a little bit about that. Ambassador haley i conversations with the president and he was concerned about iran and the deal. I went to learn about it. I found out information, i looked at the violations. It was digging deep on the information of what we found and that is why i give this each on the scenario that the president is being faced with with the decisions to be made. This situation is not easy by any means, because you look at north korea and you look at the fact that for 25 years were we were looking at bad deal after bad deal after bad deal and broken promises. Here we are again, and we do not want to be dealing with the next north korea. That is why he is taking it seriously. He is looking at every aspect in making sure it is in the best interest of the american public. Reporter the German Foreign minister said today that any disavowal of the iran deal would reduce the likelihood of getting any with north korea. Do you share those concerns . The actions on the deal might reduce the possibility of getting a deal with north korea . Separately as a point of clarification, do you support a full oil embargo on north korea . Ambassador haley lets go back to iran. A lot of countries will have opinions on whether the u. S. Should stand the deal are not. Stay in the deal are not. Those countries do not have iranians saying death to america or germany. They are not saying all of those things. We can see terrorist attacks going everywhere with ties to iran and that is something we need to be careful about. It has never moved the u. S. To care about what other countries say. What does move the president is , are we doing everything in the best security interest for the American People . That is what you see playing out. In terms of comparing iran to north korea, that is exactly what were doing. We had so many bad deals with north korea and everybody looked the other way. Every time they broke that deal, they looked the other way. Where are we now . They have a hydrogen bomb. If we do not do something and we make the same mistakes we made with north korea, we will be dealing with iran that has Nuclear Weapons and Ballistic Missile technology. That is our concern. That is what we are trying to do. Reporter the president said we had made a decision on our end. Can you tell us what it is . Ambassador haley no. Reporter he also had a meeting with latin american meters. Can you talk a little more about what he said to them . They suggested to the president that venezuela would be the most effective way. Is that something the United States would consider . Ambassador haley i was in the dinner with the latin american with our latin american friends and there was a lot of concern from all of them with what is happening in venezuela. They have all tried. We have tried to do it through multiple avenues to get to maduro and let him know what is not acceptable. The u. S. Has moved forward on sanctions and they were not opposed. Yes, they were conversations they recommended going forward. I should not share that. I will tell you there is a lot of support in latin america to see venezuela start to respect its people and go back to the democracy it is supposed to be. I think everyone of them was concerned with what is happening right now. What about an oil embargo in venezuela . Ambassador haley if things dont improve, the options are always there. First it was sanctions and now we will look and see. It is not off the table, i will tell you that. Reporter there is a lot of speculation about your political and your future within the Trump Administration. Some people are saying you are running to be secretary of state. Could you address these comments . Ambassador haley there is going to be chatter about things. Ever since i was a legislator, people talked about what i am trying to do or supposed to do. What i am trying to do is do a good job and i enjoyed to be and i am trying to be responsible in my job and am trying to make sure i am for the American People everything that i know. That is what i am trying to do and im trying to serve this president the best i can. If people take it to mean Something Else it is their issue , and not anything else. Reporter do you want to be secretary of state . Ambassador haley no, i do not. Reporter how can the u. S. Remain diplomatic credibility when it is considering blowing up the existing diplomatic deal with iran and its program . Doesnt this undermine u. S. Credibility . Ambassador haley it does not. What it shows is that the United States is going to always watch out for its people and just because there was some agreement, the smartest thing any country can do is go back and look at it and say isnt is it working . Not have too much pride to say i signed it. Is it working . I will ask you, do you think the deal is working when iran continues to test Ballistic Missiles . Do you think it is working when they support terrorists everywhere . Do you think it is still working and do you think it is still working with their smuggling arms and working with north korea . Is that in the best interest of the United States . I would question that. What you are looking at a country that is death to america. Working with other countries that may also want to think and the president has the responsibility may also want the same thing and the president has the responsibility to protect america. [inaudible] Ambassador Haley i think the United States has been taken aback that so much has happened and gone in such a terrible direction and the last three to four weeks. I think we were seeing as every member of the National Security team is talking about in every member is calling their contacts and counterparts in burma, as well as making sure we are supporting bangladesh and what they are doing. At the same time, we have to look at the refugees as now they have no home. It is no way for anyone to live. The human rights situation is terrible and we want to make sure we are doing all we can. It is all hands on deck in terms of the national Security Council trying to look at it and say what steps are we going to take next. Last question. Reporter they are losing ground in iraq and syria. The Islamic State is looking at libya. Are you looking at sending them back to manage the refugee camps . What is the u. S. Ready to do . Ambassador haley if you look at the situation, i think we made amazing progress in iraq and syria in terms of defeating isis. In terms of libya, that is something the national Security Council is meeting with and im sure they will tell us when they are ready. Thank you very much.
