Iran 'DESPERATELY' wants a deal: US ambassador to NATO

. WE ARE WILLING TO SUBMIT TO. VERIFICATION. >> JOINING US NOW MATT WHITAKER. THANKS FOR JOINING US WE LOVE. HAVING YOU ON THAT YOU SEE BRET. BAIER PUSHING BACK WITH SOME. COMMON SENSE. YOU HAVE BURIED IT UNDERGROUND. YOU HAVE ENRICHED IT WELL BEYOND. WHAT YOU NEED. SO MY QUESTION TO YOU WHAT I. REALLY WANT TO POINT OUT AND GET. YOUR REACTION THE DEAL THEY ARE. OFFERING IS TO REDUCE THEIR. ENRICHMENT LEVELS AND TO SUCCUMB. TO INSPECTIONS.

I FEEL THAT THE 2014 TALKING. POINTS BUT WE ARE SO FAR BEYOND. THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW THAT. SOMETHING THAT WOULD PUT ON THE. TABLE AND GOD FORBID THAT WOULD. BE WHAT WE END THIS WITH BECAUSE. THAT SO WE STARTED IT WITH, ISN'T IT? >> IS GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. YOU ARE RIGHT WE NEED TO START. FROM A POSITION WHERE THEY. CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR PROGRAM. FOR THEY CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR. WEAPON THEY WOULD HAVE TO. ABANDON N IT. THEY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE UP WHAT. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN SO. SUCCESSFUL WITH THE NAVAL. BLOCKADE AND THE SANCTIONS FOR.

THEIR ECONOMY IS CRIPPLED. THEY ARE COMPLETELY BROKE BREAD. THEIR CURRENCY IS WEAK. INFLATION IS HIGH. THEY DESPERATELY WANT TO DEAL. WITH THESE HALF MEASURES THEY. OFFER OR ILLUSORY DEALS TO MAKE. THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD A WORLD. STATES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO. SOPRESIDENT TRUMP IS RIGHT TO. REJECT IT. TOMI: AND PASTOR WERE TIRED WHAT. THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM AND WHETHER. OR NOT THEY WANT TO BOMB MOST OF. US CAN FILL IN THE BLANK ON THAT. BUT BASED ON THEIR PAST ACTIONS. WHAT MOST OF US WOULD ASSUME. THEY CERTAINLY DO.

BEYOND JUST THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM. THAT HAS BEEN SET BACK. DRAMATICALLY THANKS TO PRESIDENT. TRUMP AND THIS EFFORT, MOST. PEOPLE MOST EVERYDAY AMERICANS. ARE THINKING MORE ABOUT THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ HOW TO FIX THE. GAS PRICES AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THE DIESEL PRICES AND EVERYTHING. ELSE THAT THEY BUY. YOU THINK MOVING FORWARD WILL BE. A LESSON ABOUT NUCLEAR AND. INSPECTIONS AND MORE ABOUT THAT. STRAIGHT WHICH THEY HAVE. PROMISED TO OPEN IN THE PAST BUT. HAVE NOT. BOOKS THAT U.S. IS IN TOTAL. CONTROL ARE BLOCKADE IS ONLY.

KEEPING IRANIAN SHIPS FROM. TRANSITING. OBVIOUSLY MANY SHIPS ARE MOVING. GIVING WORLD SUPPLY TO THE. WORLD. WE ALSO OF THE WORLD AND R RUSSA. WERE 60% OR MORE OF THEIR OIL. PRODUCTION FACILITIES ARE. OFF-LINE CURRENTLY BECAUSE OF. SUCCESSFUL UKRAINIAN HITS. SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF A LOT. OF THINGS. BUT ONE OF THINGS I KNOW ABOUT. PRESIDENT TRUMP HE'S DOING THIS. ALL IN THE INTEREST OF THE.

AMERICAN PEOPLE.E. ULTIMATELY, WHEN THIS IS. SUCCESSFUL, WHEN WE HAVE THESE. WARS RESOLVE TO THE ADVANTAGE OF. THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ALLIES. WE ARE GOING TO SEE PLENTY OF. OIL AND GAS AND DIESEL ON THE. MARKET. AND THAT SHOULD BE SOONER RATHER. THAN LATER. SPACE BAR RON WAS NOT THE ONLY. ON THE HOSTED TRIDENT. PRESIDENT'S VISION PAYING AT THE. WHITE HOUSE WHERE THEY. APPARENTLY MADE PROGRESS ON A.I. AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES. WATCH THIS.

>> WE HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS. STRIDES. WE HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES A. VERY POSITIVE FOR BOBOTH. COUNTRIES. OUR FARMERS ARE GOING TO BE VERY. HAPPY. A LOT OF VERY POSITIVE THINGS. HAPPEN. BUT AMERICA'S VERY HAPPY ABOUT. THIS VISIT I AM SURE CHINA IS. VERY HAPPY ALSO. GREAT THINGS ARE BOTH COUNTRIES. AND IT HAS BEEN VERY, VERY. PRODUCTIVE. >> AMBASSADOR, WE HEARD ABOUT A. NEW TRADE DEAL THEY WERE. NEGOTIATING. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A.I., WHAT.

KIND OF DEAL DO YOU IMAGINE THE. TWO COUNTRIES COULD POSSIBLY. MAKE GIVEN THE VERY SEVERE. COMPETITION TO SEE WHO COMES OUT. ON TOP IN THIS A.I. RACE? >> PRESIDENT TRUMP CERTAINLY. UNDERSTANDS WHOEVER WINS THE. A.I. RACE CONTROLS THE FUTURE. THAT IS WHY THE UNITED STATES IS. GOING TO WIN. THAT IS WHY HE WANTS THIS TO. CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE. UNITED STATES. BUT HE IS WILLING TO TALK TO. ANYONE ALLIES OR ADVERSARIES BUT. WHAT WE SAW WITH THE PRESIDENT.

XI IS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP CAME. FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH. WE HAVE AN AMAZING ECONOMY IN. THE UNITED STATES. A LOT IS BASED ON HOW WE ARE. TECHNOLOGIES WHEN YOU KEEP THAT. ADVANTAGE. WE DID MAKE A LOT OF PROGRESS. BUT THERE WERE SO MANY AREAS. TRADE, A.I. AND MANY OTHER. ISSUES TALKED ABOUT WITH THAT'S. IMPORTANT FOR THE UNITED STATES. AND WHERE WE ARE IN THIS MOMENT. IN WORLD HISTORY.

RICH: AMBASSADOR LET'S TURN TO. THE CONFLICT THE RUSSIA UKRAINE. OR THE TWO SIDES ARE EXCHANGING. FIRE HE'S HELPFUL FOR A DEAL. BETWEEN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY AND. PRESIDENT PUTIN THAT WILL. FINALLY BRING AN END TO THE. CONFLICT. >> I AGREED WITH ZELENSKYY, WE. TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT. SUBJECTS. MANY OF THOSE SUBJECTS ARE VERY. STRONG AGREEMENT. YOU AND I WANTED TO DO? YOU MAKE A DEAL WITH HIM TO.

SETTLE WITH PUTIN AND I WANT. PUTIN TO SETTLE WITH HIM. >> MR. AMBASSADOR A NUMBER OF. ROUNDS OF NEGOTIATIONS. DO YOU GET THE SENSE OF VLADIMIR. PUTIN IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. SHORT OF FULL CONTROL OF. UKRAINE? >> THIS CONFLICT IS NOT GOING TO. BE RESOLVED ON THE BATTLEFIELD. BUT IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE. THROUGH DIPLOMACY AND. NEGOTIATION. PRESIDENT TRTRUMP AND HIS TEAM. CONTINUE TO TALK TO BOTH SIDES. AND FIND ANY SIMILARITIES TO TWO. POSITIONS TO IT'S GOING TO TAKE.

BOTH SIDES TO YOUR POINT TO. AGREE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE BOTH TO AGREE. ON THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES. THAT IS WHERE UKRAINE, CONTINUING TO MAKE STRONG. ATTACKS ON RUSSIA. THAT IS HELPING TO BRING THE. SIDES CLOSER TOGETHER BUT WE ARE. STILL A LONG WAY APART PRESIDENT. PUTIN IS UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE. WITH HIS MAXIMUM ISSUES THAT'S. GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. IF THERE IS A DEAL TO BE MADE AT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A. BUSINESSMAN. HE IS A DEALMAKER THINK HE WILL. MAKE A DEAL. SO THEY ARE RIGHT AMBASSADOR. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. WE APPRECIATE IT. LOOKS GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU. I'LL BRING IT BACK OUT RICH. UPPER BACK ON THE QUESTION WE. JUST ASKED WITH UKRAINE. WE ARE TALKING ALMOST SIX YEARS. INTO THIS WAR NOW IT HAS BECOME. ALMOST PALATABLE I DON'T EVEN. KNOW IF IT MOVES THE NEEDLE ON. AMERICAN POLITICS BUT THEN WE. GET NEWS THIS S WEEK THAT DIESEL. IS LARGELY AFFECTED BY IT IT'S.

NOT LIKE IT'S A NONFACTOR THEY. ARE RON STUFF IS TAKEN UP ALL. THE OXYGEN BUT THERE'S ANOTHER. HUGE WAR GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THAT'S THE AMBASSADOR TO NATO. RIGHT THERE. MABLY THAT NEWS WITH GREENLAND I. FEEL IT PRESIDENT TRUMP IT TO AT. LEAST WALK IN TRUE GUM HE'S. PROBABLY DOING A LOT MORE WORK. ON THE UKRAINE OR RUSSIA. SITUATION THAN WE REALIZE. >> THE LARGEST CONDUCT IN EUROPE. SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WAR. THERE IS A MAJOR WAR THAT'S BEEN. GOING ON. THE INNOVATION WE'VE SEEN FROM. UKRAINE AND DRONE WARFARE, THE.

WAY THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IS. INCREDIBLE WHEN THAT ATTACK. HAPPENED IN 2022 RUSSIA DID NOT. TAKE OVER THAT COUNTRY THE COUNY. IMMEDIATELY. HERE THEY ARE SURVIVING. ON THE QUESTION IS, HOW MUCH IS. IT GOING TO TAKE TO COMPEL. VLADIMIR PUTIN TO STOP? HE IS SENT PRISONERS PRICE HE. HAS SENT MONEY TO PEOPLE INTO. THIS, FOR THE LIFE EXPECTANCIES. A FEW DAYS. MAYBE THEIR FIRST ATTACK. I'M IN ITS ABSOLUTE BELIEF FOR. RUSSIAN SOLDIERS RIGHT NOW.

BUT HOW MUCH CAN THE ECONOMY AND. HOW MUCH CAN THIS PEOPLE BEAR. AND HOW MUCH I IS PUTIN EVEN AWE. OF WHAT'S GOING ON ON THAT. BATTLEFIELD? THERE ARE TONS OF QUESTIONS. SURROUNDING IT AS TO WHEN THIS. IS GOING TO END. SPIETH THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT A.I. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE. PREMISE OF A DEAL BETWEEN US IN. CHINA ON A.I. AT SUCH A PURELY. COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT. WE CANNOT EVEN REIN IN OUR OWN. COMPETITION WITH A I DON'T HOW. ARE WE TO MAKE A DEAL CHINA. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP OBVIOUSLY HAS. TO MAINTAIN A FAÇADE OF A GOOD.

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT. OF CHINA PRESENT WAS DONE THAT. THROAT TIME IN OFFICE. HOWEVER I DO THINK THERE ARE. CERTAIN CONFLICTS GEORGE IS. NEVER GOING TO FIND A BRIDGE. BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES I. THINK MANY PEOPLE LOOK AT THE. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S FOREIGN. POLICY MOST WEATHERED AND IRAN, OR VENEZUELA THEY DO SEE A. STRATEGIC EFFORT TO BOX CHINA. OUT OF THE GLOBAL ORDER. ENTIRELY. TO PREVENT CHINA FOR MAKING A. SERIOUS MOVES WITH REGARD TO. TAIWAN AND POTENTIALLY THE A.I. FIELD. I THINK THAT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS.

THE UNDERWRITING CONFLICT YOU. ARE JUST NEVER GOING TO GET RID. OF. IT'S CERTAINLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP. BETWEEN THE TWO AT LEAST TO THE. PUBLIC FACE CAN GO A LITTLE BIT. OF THE WAY. JOEY: IN LAST 20 YEARS OF. NOTHINGNESS DEAL ARE. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES THE. SCHEMATICS AND ALL KINDS OF. OTHER THINGS IS NOT LIKE CHINA. IS GOING TO START ALL THE SEVEN. PLAYING FRIENDLY. BUT ALL THE SUDDEN PAINT PLAYING. FRIENDLY LIKE THE IRANIAN. PRESIDENT WAS SPEAKING-AT THESE. BECOME BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH. TO SAY THE LEAST. WE TALK ABOUT THE AMBASSADOR HE.

SAYS WE CONTROL THE TRINITY AND. THE ONLY THING STOPPED IS WRONG. ALTHOUGH WE ARE CONJOINED THAT. ASPECT OF IT THERE'S STILL A LOT. OF FEARS AND OUTS MADE ITS WAY. TO OTHER SIDE OF SAUDI ARABIA. BUT IRAN STILL HAS SOME LEVERAGE. MONEY TO FIGURE OUT PARTS WENT. TO BE PUNISHING IN THE MIDTERMS. I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. ACCEPTED THAT PRETTY IS. WEATHERING AT THE BEST WE CAN. KNOWING THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM IS. GOING TO GET RESOLVED IN THE. NEXT MONTH. BUT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SMART. ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE'S GOING TO. BE THE DAY AFTER THE MIDTERMS.

THAT IS IN THAT RECKONING IS. GOING TO COME BECAUSE REALLY. IRAN HAS LOST A LOT OF LOVERS A. DAY AFTER THIS MIDTERMS IF. REPUBLICANS DO GET CLOBBERED. BECAUSE THE COST OF THINGS AND. THIS CONFLICT WITH IRAN WHICH IS. UNPOPULAR, THEY ARE STILL GOING. TO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THIS. PRESIDENT AND THIS. ADMINISTRATION AND THE SECRETARY. OF WAR THE DAY AFTER THOSE. MIMIDTERMS AND THEN FOR THE NEXT. COUPLE OF YEARS I THINK THE. PRESIDENT IS PLAYING THIS THE. BEST WAY HE CAN'T RIGHT NOW HE'S. IN THE SITUATION IS NOT GOING TO. BE RESOLVED IT'S ABOUT HOW WE. WEATHER IT. BUT, THE DEMOCRATS ARE TELLING.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEY CAN. HANDLE THIS I WOULD ASSUME. VOTERS ARE SMARTER THAN THAT. TALKS OF BUILDING HOLDING THEM. BACK AS REPUBLICANS BEGG.
