GOOD MORNING EVERYONE COULD BE
WITH YOU ALL TODAY. I WANNA
START MY REMARKS AS I OFTEN DO
ON MATTERS RELATING TO CHINA
THIS MAY BE SIDE MET WITH NJ-
LAST WEEK IN HAWAII WE HAD A
VERY FRANK DISCUSSION. ABOUT
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
PROVOKED AGGRESSION ON A NUMBER
OF FRONTS AND I PRESSED HIM FOR
MORE TRANSPARENCY ON COVID FOR
THE GOOD OF THE WORLD. WORK
CONCERNED BY BEIJING'S BEHAVIOR
AND WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES.
AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT OUR
FRIENDS AND PARTNERS ARE
FINDING THEIR VOICE AND TAKING
ACTION TO COUNTER. CHINA'S
MALIGN ACTIVITIES PARTICULARLY
IN EUROPE. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK
I SPOKE TO THE FOREIGN
MINISTERS AND ALSO TO A
DEMOCRACY FORM COPENHAGEN. THEY
CLEARLY RECOGNIZE THE THREAT
THAT CHINA POSES TO THE FREE
WORLD. INTO THE RULE OF LAW.
AFTER THE EVE SOME OF THIS WEEK
BOTH PRESIDENTIAL AND PRESIDENT
BANDA LAND PUBLICLY ECHOED MANY
OF THE CONCERNS THAT I'VE
EXPRESSED PREVIOUSLY. WHILE I
WAS. YOUNG THE G. SEVEN
RELEASED A STATEMENT CONDEMNING
BEIJING BEIJING'S CRACKDOWN IN
HONG KONG. THE WORLD'S LEADING
TELECOM OPERATORS INCLUDING
SPAIN'S TELEFONICA AS WELL AS
ORANGE- TO DO BELL CANADA TELUS
AND ROGERS AND MANY MANY MORE
ARE BECOMING CLEAN TELCOS
DISCONNECTING FROM THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE REJECTING DOING BUSINESS
WITH TOOLS OF THE CCP
SURVEILLANCE STATE COMPANIES
LIKE HUAWEI. I'LL SPEAK MORE
ABOUT HOW WE'RE WORKING TO
CONSOLIDATE EUROPE'S AWAKENING
TO THE FOLKS OUT TO THE FOLKS
AT THE GERMAN MARSHALL FUND IN
JUST A FEW DAYS. FOG TO START
BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP AT IT THE
EMPTY PROMISES AND TIRED
PLATITUDES OF THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY PUT FORTH THAT
LAST WEEK CHINA AFRICA SUMMIT
WON'T CREATE. THE FREE AND
PROSPEROUS FUTURE THAT THE
AFRICAN PEOPLE DESERVE. AND THE
US WILL KEEP SPEAKING UP FOR
THE CHINESE PEOPLE TO. LAST
WEEK'S ECB AT THIRTY CENTS
HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER AND
DEFENDER. YOU WENSHAN TO FOUR
YEARS IN PRISON. WE CONTINUE TO
CALL FOR THE RELEASE OF ALL OF
THOSE JUSTIN PRESIDENT CHINA.
FOR EXERCISING THEIR BASIC
HUMAN RIGHTS AND THEIR
FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS. LAST THAT
MUCH ON A POSITIVE ONE IN CASE
YOU ALL THINK I ONLY CRITICIZED.
THE CCP IS RAISING THE
PROTECTED STATUS OF PANGOLINS
AND REMOVING THEM FROM ITS
OFFICIAL LIST OF ANIMALS USED
FOR APPROVED TRADITIONAL
MEDICINES. THAT'S GREAT NEWS
CALLED ON THE CCP TO TAKE
SIMILAR STEPS TO RESPOND OTHER
ENDANGERED SPECIES AND SHUT
DOWN HIGHER RISK WILDLIFE WHAT
IT'S- PERMANENTLY. MOVING ON
TODAY I HAVE NOTHING WOULD
MAKE- WE'RE RELEASING OUR
ANNUAL COUNTRY COUNTRY REPORTS
ON TERRORISM. I HOPE EVERYONE
SEES THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION'S
TAKEN ON TERRORIST THREATS THAT
OTHER MINISTRATION SIMPLY
DOWNPLAYED. WE DESIGNATE THE
IRGC INCLUDING ITS COULD FORCE
AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS THE
FIRST TIME THE THIRTIES EVER
BEEN USED ON A FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT. WE KEPT PRESSURE ON
THE RADIO IS LIKE HEZBOLLAH BY
ENCOURAGING OUR PARTNERS TO
DESIGNATED BANNED THEM. AS
PARAGUAY ARGENTINA AND NOW THE
UNITED KINGDOM DID. JUST LAST
YEAR. LAST YEAR TOO WE HELD THE
FIRST OF TWO MINISTERS FOCUSED
SPECIFICALLY ON
COUNTERTERRORISM IN THE WESTERN
HEMISPHERE. NO ADMINISTRATION'S
FORGED CLOSER TIES IN OUR
HEMISPHERE AND ALLIANCES
WORKING ON IMPORTANT PROBLEMS
LIKE COUNTERTERRORISM AS WE
HAVE DONE. THE DEFEAT ISIS
COALITION IS REMAINS STRONG
IT'S COMPLETED THE DESTRUCTION
OF SO CALLED PHYSICAL CALIPHATE
IN IRAQ AND SYRIA. AND THANKS
TO OUR GREAT U. S. MILITARY ABU
BAKAR AL BAGHDADI IS DEAD.
THAT'D BE CLEAR THEY'RE STILL
COUNTERTERRORISM WORK TO DO
ISIS AND AL QAEDA BRANCHES AND
AFFILIATES IN AFRICA VENEZUELA
CUBA. POSEY TIES WITH
TERRORISTS ANY ANYTHING L. ON
ATTACKS IN COLOMBIA- PROBLEMS
THAT REMAIN. BUT WERE INDICTED
IN OUR PURSUIT OF BRINGING
TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE. I'M AT
TODAY TO ANNOUNCE THE STATE
WHERE HIS HAS INCREASED A
REWARD OFFERED NOW UP TO TEN
MILLION DOLLARS FOR INFORMATION
ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE NEW
LEADER OF ISIS. COORDINATOR FOR
COUNTERTERRORISM SALES WILL
HAVE- TODAY SPEND SOMETIME WITH
YOU WORKING THROUGH TALKING IT
THROUGH- HIS TEAM'S REPORT.
HE'S HERE WITH ME TO ANSWER ALL
THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. I
MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY FROM AMID
THE MADURO REGIME A FEW
COMMENTS ON THAT AS WELL. OVER
THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE
ILLEGITIMATE VENEZUELA SUPREME
COURT HAS TO CREATE A NEW
REGIME ALIGNED
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AND STOLE THE
NAME AND BRANDING OF TWO MAJOR
POLITICAL PARTIES. REPLACING
THEIR LEADERSHIP WITH MADURO'S
LACKEYS. THESE ARE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS THEY
MAKE A MOCKERY OF DEMOCRATIC
PROCESSES AND THE VENEZUELAN
PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING TO PROTECT
THOSE VERY FREEDOMS THAT THEY
SO RICHLY DESERVE. THE BEST
PATHWAY ADDITIVE AS WELL IN
CRISIS HISTORY BROADLY
ACCEPTABLE TRANSITIONAL
GOVERNMENT TO ADMINISTRATE FREE
AND FAIR PRESIDENTIAL AND
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS. THE
MAJORITY OF US ALSO
MISMANAGEMENT AS WELL AS
ABUNDANT NATURAL RESOURCES TO
THE POINT THAT A COUNTRY THE
ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST OIL
RESERVES MUST IMPORT. GASOLINE
FROM A RUN. TODAY THE UNITED
STATES IS SANCTIONING FIVE
IRANIAN SHIP CAPTAINS WHO
DELIVERED AROUND TEN MILLION
HALF BARRELS OPERATING GASOLINE
TO VENEZUELA. IN SUPPORT OF THE
ILLEGITIMATE MADURO REGIME.
THESE CAPTAINS ASSETS WILL BE
BLOCKED AND THEY WON'T BE ABLE
TO OPERATE IN U. S. WATERS.
MARINERS SHOULD BUSINESS WITH
IRAN AND VENEZUELA WILL FACE
CONSEQUENCES FOR THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. WE WILL
CONTINUE THIS TWO ASSEMBLY
INTERIM PRESIDENT QUITE LOW AND
THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE IN THEIR
QUEST TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY.
TURNING TO ANOTHER ROGUE ACTOR
THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.
LAST FRIDAY THE IAEA BOARD OF
GOVERNORS ADOPTED A RESOLUTION
CALLING ON IRAN TO PROVIDE THE
I. A. INSPECTORS THE
INFORMATION ACCESS IT'S
OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE. I WANT TO
THANK DIRECTOR GROSSLY ON HIS
TEAM FOR THEIR FAITHFUL WORK. I
RAN OF ACCESS TO I. EIGHTY
INSPECTORS AND REFUSAL TO
COOPERATE WITH THE I. A.'S
INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIALLY
UNDECLARED NUCLEAR MATERIAL
ACTIVITY. RAISES SERIOUS
QUESTIONS ABOUT TEHRAN'S.
EFFORTS AND WHAT IT IS
PRECISELY THAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO HIDE. IRAN'S REFUSAL TO
COOPERATE IS WHOLLY SEPARATE
FROM THE JCPOA. THIS IS SIMPLY
ABOUT WHETHER IRAN IS HONORING
ITS OWN LEGALLY BINDING
SAFEGUARDS OBLIGATIONS. IF IRAN
FAILS TO COOPERATE WITH THE
IAEA OBLIGATIONS THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST BE
PREPARED TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION.
TODAY ESPECIALLY REPRESENTED
HOPE IS BRIEFING MEMBERS OF THE
UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL
ON OUR DIPLOMACY TO PREVENT THE
ARMS EMBARGO FROM EXPIRING- ON
AROUND OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR.
THAT ACTUALLY ON THE EIGHTEENTH
THAT MONTH AROUND WILL BE ABLE
TO PURCHASE ADVANCED WEAPONS
SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME THE ARMS
DEALER OF CHOICE FOR TERRORISTS
AND ROGUE REGIMES ALL
THROUGHOUT THE- THIS IS A
DOUBLE. WHAT IT WOULD UNDER
ARMS RESTRICTIONS BY THE UNITED
NATIONS SINCE BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND AND SEVEN. AND ONE OF
THE GREATEST FAILURES OF THE
IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL ALSO OF THESE
RESTRICTIONS TO EXPIRE WITHOUT
REGARD. TO HOW THE REGIME
BEHAVED. THE RESOLUTION THAT WE
WILL PRESENT TO THE U. N.
SECURITY COUNCIL WILL EXTEND
THE CONVENTIONAL ARMS EMBARGO
ON THE LEADING STATE SPONSOR OF
TERROR. OUR FOCUS ANNOUNCED
WITH SECURITY COUNCIL TO PASS
THIS RESOLUTION. BUT IN THE
EVENT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I
WOULD REMIND THE WORLD THAT THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S OFFICIAL
SAID VERY CLEARLY THAT THE
UNITED STATES HAS THE
UNILATERAL ABILITY TO SNAP BACK
SANCTIONS INTO PLACE. TWO
QUOTES FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA HE
SAID. IF AT ANYTIME. ANYTIME
UNITED STATES BELIEVES IRAN HAS
FAILED TO MEET ITS COMMITMENTS
NO OTHER STATE CAN BLOCK OUR
ABILITIES THAT BACK THOSE
MULTILATERAL SANCTIONS. AND
THEN MY PREDECESSOR SECRETARY
KERRY SAID. LOOK IF WE'RE NOT
HAPPY WE GO TO SECURITY COUNCIL
AND WE A LOAN. WE ALONE CAN
FORCE A VOTE ON SNAPPING BACK
AT THOSE SANCTIONS. THE LEGAL
OPTIONS IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL
CLEAR. OUR GREAT PREFERENCE IS
TO HAVE A COUNCIL RESOLUTION
THAT WILL EXTEND THE ARMS
EMBARGO. BUT WE ARE DETERMINED
TO ENSURE THAT THAT ARMS
EMBARGO CONTINUES TO CHANGE
GEARS JUST A BIT AND THEN I'LL
TAKE SOME QUESTIONS- WE ALL TO
ASSERT OURSELVES AS FORCE FOR
GOOD GROWTH THE WORLD IT'S NOT
JUST ABOUT THE DANGERS WE FACE.
LAST WEEK WE RELEASED IN
ADDITION TO THREE MILLION
DOLLARS TO POSTED BOAST BOOST
COVID SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD. BRING THE STATE

THREE BILLION DOLLARS. MORE
THAN ONE HUNDRED POSSIBLE

THROUGH ENERGY. AGES ENERGY

BY 60% AND TWENTY FORTY. AND
WE'RE PROUD TO WORK THROUGH OUR
PREVENT DEVELOPMENT FINANCE

WITH AMERICAN. COMPANIES THE
BEST PARTNERS FOR HELPING MEET
THAT NEED. ALSO TOMORROW SENIOR
BY THE PRESIDENT WANTED FROM
AMBASSADOR JOHN RICHMOND I WILL
UNVEILED THE TWENTY TWENTY
STATE DEPARTMENT TRAFFICKING IN
PERSONS REPORT. CRUSHING HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AT HOME AND ABROAD
HAS BEEN A HIGH PRIORITY FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN OUR
ADMINISTRATION AND YOU HAVE
PLENTY MORE TO MORE ABOUT HOW
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT ONE
LAST ITEM. AS THE COUNTRY
BEGINS TO REOPEN THE PARTNER
GETTING OUR PASSPORT TEAM BACK
ON THE FIELD IN THE COMING
WEEKS THAT WILL AGGRESSIVELY
TACKLE APPLICATIONS THAT WERE
PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC AND PROVIDE FAST AND
EFFICIENT SERVICE FOR AMERICANS

NOW HAPPY TO TAKE SOME
QUESTIONS. HI GOOD C. TO SEE IF

THANK YOU. SHARON ABOUT WORK
WITH AS FAR AS WE CAN THANKS
MORGAN ON THANKS EVERYONE FOR
BEING HERE THIS MORNING I WON'T
REPEAT SIGNIFICANT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS LIKE I
SECRETARY HIGHLIGHTED IT WOULD
NOT COMMIT BUT I DO WANT TO
EMPHASIZE A FEW KEY POINTS FROM
THE TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN
COUNTRY REPORTS ON TERRORISM IN
SHORT THE UNITED STATES AND OUR
PARTNERS TOOK MAJOR STRIDES
LAST YEAR TO DEFEAT AND A GREAT
INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS. IN IRAQ AND
SYRIA WE DESTROYED ISIS SO
CALLED CALIPHATE. AND A LITTLE
BIT ITS LEADERS. NOW WE'RE
TAKING THE FIGHT TO. AND AL
QAEDA IF. AROUND THE-
INTENSIFYING OUR EFFORTS. FOR
THE WE ARE A TO PROTECT
AMERICAN LIVES AND AMERICAN
INTERESTS GLOBALLY. WE'RE
PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON AFRICA.
IN TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN ISIS
AFFILIATED GROUPS WERE ACTIVE
ACROSS THE CONTINENT INCLUDING
IN THIS THE HELL THE LAKE CHAD
REGION IN EAST AFRICA. AS ALL
KIND OF ITS AFRICAN AFFILIATES
ARE AMONG THE WORLD'S MOST
DANGEROUS TERRORIST GROUPS
INCLUDING AL SHABAB IN THE HORN
IN JANE HIM IN THIS HEALTH. THE
UNITED STATES IS WORKING
CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS
PARTICULARLY FRANCE TO ADDRESS
THESE EVOLVING THREATS IN
AFRICA. AND WE EXPECT THE
GLOBAL DEFEAT ISIS COALITION TO
APPLY ITS HARD WORD EXPERT HARD
EARNED EXPERTISE IN THIS
CONTINUING FIGHTS. IT WILL BE A
SURPRISE AS THE SECRETARY
MENTIONED THAT IRAN REMAIN THE
WORLD'S WORST STATE SPONSOR OF
TERRORISM IN TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN. THROUGH THE
MALEVOLENT ACTIONS OF THE I. R.
G. C. THE TERRORIST PROXIES
LIKE HEZBOLLAH IN LEBANON AND
CONTENT HEZBOLLAH AND IRAQ IRAN
CONTINUE TO USE TERRORISM AS A
BASIC TOOL OF STATECRAFT NOT
ONLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST BUT
AROUND THE WORLD. AT THE
SECRETARY NOTED WE CONTINUE TO
LEAD THE WORLD IN THE FIGHT
AGAINST IRANIAN TERRORISM. IN
APRIL OF TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN
WE DESIGNATED THE I. R. G. C.
AS A FOREIGN TERRORIST
ORGANIZATION THE FIRST TIME
WE'VE EVER APPLIED SUCH A
DESIGNATION FOR THE PART OF A
FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. AND
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR COUNTRY
WESTERN EUROPE AND SOUTH
AMERICA JOINED US IN
DESIGNATING ALL OF HEZBOLLAH AS
A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
REJECTING THE FALSE DISTINCTION
BUT THE GROUP CAN BE DIVIDED
INTO A POLITICAL WEARING A
MILITARY WING. THAT EFFORT
CONTINUES. GERMANY JUST BAN
HEZBOLLAH IN ITS ENTIRETY A FEW
MONTHS AGO. AND THE AUSTRIAN
PARLIAMENT RECENTLY ENACTED
LEGISLATION CALLING FOR TOUGHER
ACTION AGAINST THE GROUP. LET
ME BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHT A FEW MORE
SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FROM TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN. IN
SEPTEMBER PRESIDENT TRUMP
ISSUED AN ORDER ENABLING THE
STATE AND TREASURY DEPARTMENTS
TO MORE EFFECTIVELY SANCTIONS
LEADERS OF TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS THOSE
WHO TRAIN FOR TERRORISM. IT WAS
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT UPDATE AND
EXPANSION OF OUR TERRORISM
SANCTIONS AUTHORITIES SINCE
NINE ELEVEN. ANOTHER MAJOR
EFFORT WAS THE REPATRIATION
PROSECUTION AND REHABILITATION
OF ISIS FIGHTERS AND FAMILY
MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN
NEVER AGAIN RETURN TO THE
BATTLEFIELD. THE UNITED STATES
IS LEADING BY EXAMPLE BRINGING
BACK OUR CITIZENS AND
PROSECUTING THEM FOR ANY CRIMES
THEY'VE COMMITTED. AS OF
DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN
THE UNITED STATES OF
REPATRIATED A TOTAL OF TWENTY
THREE AMERICANS FROM SYRIA AND
IRAQ. EIGHT ADULTS AND FIFTEEN
CHILDREN WITH SIX OF THE ADULTS
FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES. THE
UNITED STATES ALSO PLAYED A
MAJOR ROLE IN BUILDING OUR
PARTNERS CAPACITY TO DETECT
DISRUPT AND DISMANTLE TERRORIST
NETWORKS. WE PROVIDE
CAPABILITIES THAT NO OTHER
GOVERNMENT CAN MATCH AND WE
WANT TO BE THE SECURITY PARTNER
OF CHOICE. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS
TO ENABLE GOVERNMENTS ON THE
FRONT LINES TO ADDRESS THE
TERRORIST THREATS THEY FACE
WITHOUT NEEDING TO RELY ON THE
UNITED STATES FOR CONTINUED
ASSISTANCE. EARLY IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION WE IDENTIFY KEY
PRIORITIES AND EFFORTS TO
SYNCHRONIZE STRENGTHEN AND
EXPAND THE ACTIONS NEEDED TO
COUNTER TERRORIST THREATS USING
ALL TOOLS OF NATIONAL POWER.
BOTH CIVILIAN AND MILITARY. THE
RESULTING SUCCESSES OR CLEARLY
REFLECTED IN THIS YEAR'S
COUNTRY REPORTS ON TERRORISM.
WITH THAT BRIEF SUMMARY I'D BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.
RIGHT I THINK. ABOUT ON TO
SOMETHING FOR YOU. I HAVEN'T
BEEN ABLE FOR THE FORMER FOR
YET- BUT LAST YEAR- REPORT
ABOUT ITS- GROWING AND EVOLVING
WORLDWIDE. I KNOW THEY DO THAT
IF PASSED- CALIPHATE OF ISIS-
ON THE SYRIA THE ROCK. WORLD
FIVE- WHAT THE FK IT HAS A
PROBLEM HOW TO FROM FINE. T.
THAT PURPORTED TO CONTROL
TERRITORY- TO ONE THAT IS
INSTEAD A NETWORK A GLOBAL
NETWORK- THAT REACHES- EVERY
INHABITED CONTINENT- AND THIS
NETWORK NOT ONLY- PLANS AND
COMMITS ATTACKS ON ITS OWN. IT
ALSO CONTINUES TO INSPIRE
INDIVIDUALS TO COMMIT ATTACKS
OF THEIR OWN DEVISING AND AS AN
EXAMPLE OF THAT- I WOULD REFER
YOU TO THE EASTER SUNDAY
ATTACKS IN SRI LANKA LAST YEAR-
A GRUEL OF GRUESOME AND VIVID
EXAMPLE OF WHAT ISIS INSPIRED
TERRORISTS ARE CAPABLE OF
DOING. IT'S ALWAYS ISIS VAULT
INTO A GLOBAL NETWORK THAT
LACKS A PHYSICAL SO CALLED
CALIPHATE- IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
THE UNITED STATES AND OUR
PARTNERS OF ALL HIS WEALTH IN
USE IN A DIFFERENT SET OF TOOLS
TO GET AT THIS CHALLENGE-
SOMETIMES. VERY FORCES THE
APPROPRIATE TOOL WE SAW THAT IN
SYRIA AND IRAQ- BUT OFTEN TIMES
IN THIS NEW STAGE OF THE FIGHT
WE WILL BE PRIORITIZING LAW
ENFORCEMENT NOT TO PROSECUTE
ISIS AFFILIATED TERRORISTS FOR
THE CRIMES THEY COMMITTED. A
COUNTERTERRORISM FINANCE TO CUT
OFF THE FLOW OF MONEY- TO ISIS
AND ITS AFFILIATES AROUND THE
WORLD ON COUNTER MESSAGING SO
THAT WE CAN DELEGITIMIZE THE
RADICAL IDEOLOGY THAT ISIS USES
TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION
OF RECRUITS. AND BORDER
SECURITY MEASURES TO ENSURE
THAT ISIS FIGHTERS ARE ABLE TO
ENTER THE UNITED STATES
PROCESSING ON BORDERS IS AWARE
THAT WREAK HAVOC. THANKS RIGHT.
YEAH YEAH. SO. ONE THOUSAND THE
FINDINGS OF WE DON'T YOU GOTTA
BE. ALL THE PEOPLE BE OPPOSED
TO BE. YEAH WHEN THERE ARE
REPORTS THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL

THE- WELL I GOT ON A NOT GONNA
THE WASHINGTON DC RUMOR MILL

FUNDAMENTAL PRIORITIES NOT ONLY
OF THE UNITED STATES ARE

FAITHFUL MUSLIMS IN CHINA WHO
ARE ROUNDED UP AND HERDED INTO
CAMPS- PURPORTEDLY FOR
VOCATIONAL TRAINING- OF DOCTORS

REALLY BEGAN TO INTENSIFY WE'RE
PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT
WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORISM-
AND THIS ADMINISTRATION IS
DOING THINGS THAT NO PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION. HAS DONE TO
COUNTER THIS THREAT- LAST
EARLIER THIS YEAR- WE ANNOUNCED
THE DESIGNATION OF THE RUSSIAN
IMPERIAL MOVEMENT- A SAINT
PETERSBURG BASED WHITE
SUPREMACIST TERRORIST GROUP
THAT HAS TRAINED PEOPLE TO
COMMIT ACTS OF TERRORISM. IN
SCANDINAVIA THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME- IT WAS A HISTORICAL
DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE IT WAS THE
FIRST IN THE UNITED STATES HAS
EVER USED IT SANCTIONS TOOLS
ARE TO CONFRONT FRAT OF THE
PREMISE TERRACE OF COURSE OUR
FIGHT AGAINST THE PROMISE
ARIZONA GLOBALLY IS NOT LIMITED
SANCTIONS THAT'S A BIG
IMPORTANT TOOL BUT WE HAVE
OTHER TOOLS THAT WE'VE BEEN
USING AS WELL INCLUDING SOME
COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM
TOOLS TO. USE OF FORMER MEMBERS
OF WHITE SUPREMACIST
ORGANIZATIONS WHO HAVE- LEFT
MOVEMENT BECAUSE THEY REALIZE
THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS THESE
PEOPLE ARE INCREDIBLY POWERFUL

PARTICULAR INCIDENT BUT AS A
GENERAL MATTER- I CAN TELL YOU
THAT WHEN IT ONE IT IS
APPROPRIATE NECESSARY FOR
NATIONS TO USE FORCE IN

RANK ORDER BUT THE THREATS THAT
THAT WE FACE WE HAVE TO TAKE
THEM ALL SYRIA AT WE DO TAKE
THEM ALL SERIOUSLY IT'S I OR ON
QAEDA OR WHETHER IT'S IRAN A
PARTICULAR CONCERN WHEN IT
COMES TO I IS THE FACT THAT IT
IS A STATE THAT HAS THE
CAPABILITIES AND IT HAS THE
RESOURCES OF THE STATE. AND
WHEN YOU INTRODUCE THE CONCEPT
OF STATE SPONSORSHIP- THE
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THE
ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES THAT S.
S. T. LIKE IRAN CAN BRING- IS A
REASON FOR US OF YOUR CONCERN-
AND WE'RE SEEING THE RESULTS OF
THAT ALL AROUND THE WORLD LAST
YEAR WE SAW OR THE YEAR BEFORE

PLOTS TO COMMIT FASCINATION THE
HEART OF WESTERN EUROPE. WE SEE
AND BANKROLLED TERRORISTS ARE

AL QAEDA I CAN'T COMMENT ON
INTELLIGENCE MATTERS BUT WHAT
WE HAVE SAID PUBLICLY IN THE
PAST IS THAT. AFTER NINE
ELEVEN- I WROTE I RAN FAILED TO
COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS TO
TAKE INTO CUSTODY AND
EXTRADITED FOR PROSECUTION-
I'LL CUT OPERATIVES WHO RELATES
TO THE ATTACKS. OF MORE
RECENTLY WE HAVE SAID PUBLICLY
THAT IRAN HAS ALLOWED AL QAEDA
OPERATIVES FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT-
WITHIN IRAN- TO ENABLE THE
MOVEMENT OF FIGHTERS AND MONEY-
INTO CONFLICT ZONES IN IN
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES- IF IRAN
WANTS TO. REJOIN THE COMMUNITY
OF RESPONSIBLE. NATIONS HERE'S
A START. THE CRACKDOWN ON THE
TERRORISTS THE CALLS NINE
