Trump places new conditions on Saudi nuclear deal

♪ ♪. >> Will: FOX NEWS ALERT. LAST HOUR PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE. AN UPDATE ON AMERICAN NUCLEAR. INNOVATION. UNVEILING PLANS TO UNLEASH AN. ENERGY RENAISSANCE IN THE. UNITED STATES. THIS COMES AS TRUMP DRAWS A FIRM. LINE WHEN IT COMES TO SAUDI. ARABIA'S NUCLEAR AMBITIONS. >> IN ORDER TO DO IT, THEY HAVE. TO BE A MEMBER OF THE.

ABRAHAM ACCORDS, WHICH ARE VERY. SUCCESSFUL. BUT IT IS TIME NOW, WE THINK IT. IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE. OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WHICH. HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL. FOR THE COUNTRY AS, AS YOUKNOW, FOR THE COUNTRIES IN THEM. AND I THINK IT IS VERY. IMPORTANT. SO AT SOME POINT THEY WILL JOIN. AND THEY WILL DO THEIR. -- I. CALL IT CIVIL NUCLEAR. >> Will: THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS. IS THE LANDMARK AGREEMENT THAT. NORMALIZED RELATIONS BETWEEN. ISRAEL AND SEVERAL ARAB NATIONS. DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FIRST. TERM.

THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR. NO NORMALIZATION, NO NUCLEAR. DEAL. JOINING ME NOW IS THE WHITE. HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR. POLICY, STEPHEN MILLER. GOOD TO SEE YOU ON THIS FRIDAY. IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT HAS PUT A. PAUSE ON SAUDI ARABIA'S NUCLEAR. AMBITIONS? OR ARE THEY PREPARED TO. RECOGNIZE THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS? >> THAT IS UP TO THE KINGDOM OF. SAUDI ARABIA. THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VERY. CLEAR ABOUT HIS PRIORITY TO. ESTABLISH A FRAMEWORK FOR. LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE MIDDLE. EAST PEACE. NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN OUR.

LIFETIMES HAS DONE MORE TO. ESTABLISH PEACE IN THE MIDDLE. EAST THAN PRESIDENT TRUMP. IN HIS FIRST TERM, THE. ABRAHAM ACCORDS WAS A. BREAKTHROUGH THAT NOBODY THOUGHT. POSSIBLE, IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH. THAT MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR THE. REGION. NOW HERE IN THE SECOND TERM, THE. PRESIDENT IS MAKING CLEAR HE HAS. DEVELOPED A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP, A CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE. KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA TO. ADVANCE OUR SHARED SECURITY. INTERESTS. BUT HE IS VERY CLEAR THAT IN. ORDER TO TAKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

TO THIS NEXT DIMENSION WITH. CIVILIAN NUCLEAR ENERGY, THERE. ARE CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT HAVE. TO BE MET. THIS UNDERSCORES THE FACT THAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO USE. ALL OF AMERICA'S LEVERAGE, MILITARY, DIPLOMATIC, FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND TECHNOLOGY TO. ADVANCE OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS. >> Will: STEVEN, ANY CONCERN. IN THE ADMINISTRATION ON OPENING. UP WHAT IS A PRETTY EXCLUSIVE. CLUB AND EMBRACING NUCLEAR. ENERGY, NUCLEAR ADVANCEMENT TO. SAUDI ARABIA WHO, YES NOW HAS.

BEEN A GREAT PARTNER TO THE. ADMINISTRATION ON MANY THINGS, BUT IN THE PAST HAS HAD CONCERNS. ABOUT SAUDI ARABIA, CONNECTIONS. TO NINE OVER 11, THE PRESENCE --. ALTHOUGH NOT AT THE KINGDOM'S. LEVEL BUT THE PRESENCE OF. RADICAL ISLAM INSIDE. SAUDI ARABIA. ANY CONCERNS ABOUT OPENING UP. NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES TO THAT. COUNTRY? >> I THINK SOME IMPORTANT POINTS. ON THIS, FIRST IS THAT THE. UNITED STATES HAS DEVELOPED AN. IRONCLAD, REPLICABLE SYSTEM FOR. BEING ABLE TO HELP NATIONS.

DEVELOP CIVILIAN NUCLEAR. CAPABILITIES WITHOUT ANY RISK OR. DANGER OF THAT MIGRATING INTO A. WEAPONS PROGRAM. THIS IS TRIED, TESTED AND PROVEN. AROUND THE WORLD. WE HAVE THE TECH, THE KNOW HOW. AND THE CAPABILITIES TO HELP. THEM DEVELOP THE CIVILIAN. INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT ANY RISK. OR CONCERN OF EVER BECOMING. ANYTHING ELSE. SECONDLY, WITH RESPECT TO. SAUDI ARABIA, PRESIDENT TRUMP --. JUST TO TAKE YOU BACK IN TIME A. LITTLE BIT HERE, WILL, 2017,

RIYADH, PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING. TO THE ASSEMBLED LEADERS OF THE. ARAB NATIONS, THE MIDDLE EASTERN. NATIONS, THE MUSLIM NATIONS. PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE A SPEECH. ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE REGION. AND THE NEED FOR THE KINGS, THE. LEADERS, THE RULERS, THE. MONARCHS OF THE REGION TO USE. THEIR STATE POWER TO CRUSH. RADICAL ISLAM AND TO BE A FORCE. FOR SECURITY, STABILITY, MODERATION, NORMALIZATION. THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA,

WHICH HOSTED THAT EVENT, TOOK UP. AND HEEDED THE PRESIDENT'S CALL. AND HAS SPENT THE YEARS SINCE. DEVELOPING A MODEL FRAMEWORK FOR. DEALING WITH RADICAL ISLAM AND. VIOLENT ISLAM IN A WAY THAT. OTHER NATIONS IN THE REGION. SHOULD EMULATE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MIDDLE EAST. TODAY, YOU SEE RADICAL ISLAM. COMES OUT OF PRIMARILY TWO. PLACES. VIOLENT JIHADIST TERRORIST ISLAM. COMING OUT OF UNGOVERNED SPACES, UNSTABLE SPACES OF BUSH'S WAR IN.

IRAQ AND THEN TYPICALLY. OF COURSE IRAN WHICH IS THE. PRIMARY FUNDER AND HAS BEEN FOR. A LONG TIME SINCE THE ISLAMIC. REVOLUTION. AND THEN OF COURSE THEY ARE. FUNDING THE MILITIAS IN IRAQ. IRAN HAS BEEN THE PRIMARY FUNDER. AND FINANCIER OF ISLAMIC. TERRORISM FOR GENERATIONS NOW. AND OF COURSE UNDER OBAMACARE. THAT REACHED OUTWARDS BECAUSE HE. PROVIDED THEM WITH THE CASH THEY. NEEDED. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ACHIEVED FOR. THE WORLD, ONE OF THE MOST. IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HE HAS.

DONE, BY DECIMATING THE IRANIAN. REGIME, BY DEGRADING THEIR. CAPABILITIES TO SUCH AN. ASTONISHING EXTENT, HE HAS. PREVENTED GENERATIONS -- WHAT. WOULD HAVE BEEN IRANIAN TERROR. HEGEMONY, NOT ONLY WAGED AGAINST. OUR ALLIES, BUT ULTIMATELY. BECAUSE OF THEIR PENETRATION. ACROSS THE WEST, THROUGH YEARS. OF MIGRATION AND OTHER. MECHANISMS, THE ABILITY TO. LAUNCH COLLATERAL ATTACKS IN. WESTERN SOCIETIES. >> Will: SO THIS IS. DISTINGUISHED MAKING THE POINT. FROM 20 YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS --. TODAY IS IT UNGOVERNED SPACES IN.

IRAN VERSUS 20 YEARS AGO WHEN. RADICAL JIHADISM WAS MORE SPREAD. THROUGHOUT THE REGION. AND HONESTLY, STEVE BYRNE, I. FIND THESE CONVERSATIONS BOTH. INTELLECTUAL AND EDUCATIONAL. I COULD GO WITH YOU FOR A LONG. TIME BUT I'M ALREADY WAY OVER. TIME. BUT I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT THIS, THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONCERN. ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND. DEPORTATIONS. WE DID GET NUMBERS FOR JUNE AND. IT LOOKED LIKE DEPORTATIONS. CONTINUE TO HOLD STEADY. AND THE ADMINISTRATION LOOKS TO. CONTINUE TO DEPORT AT NUMBERS. THAT ARE EXPECTED.

WHAT IS THE APPROACH OF THE. ADMINISTRATION NOW ON THE. NUMBERS AND THE EXPECTATIONS OF. DEPORTATIONS? >> THAT IS A GREAT SEGUE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SECURITY. AGAINST RADICAL ISLAM, SECURITY. AGAINST JIHADISM, THAT ALL COMES. DOWN TO IMMIGRATION. REINFORCEMENT. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE. WHO ARE HERE ARE NOT A THREAT TO. US. SO IN ADDITION TO RECORD. DEPORTATION NUMBERS, SOMETHING. YOUR AUDIENCE MAY NOT KNOW IS. THAT USCIS HAS UNDERTAKEN THE. LARGEST EVER PROJECT OF.

REVETTING EVERY FOREIGN NATIONAL. WHO WAS ADMITTED IN PRIOR YEARS. FOR TIES TO TERRORISM, TIES TO. JIHADISM, ALSO TIES TO DRUGS, GANGS, TO CARTELS. IT IS NOT JUST THEM DEPORTING. ILLEGAL ALIENS, THEY ARE. SYSTEMATICALLY REVETTING, RE-INTERVIEWING AND REASSESSING. THE MILLIONS OF REFUGEES, LPRS, FOREIGN VISITORS AND OTHERS WHO. CAME HERE FROM THE THIRD WORLD, FROM THE REGIONS THAT ARE KNOWN. FOR ISLAMIC TERRORISM, FROM THE.

FAILED STATES OF THE PLANET. THEY ARE REVETTING, RE-INTERVIEWING, JUST THIS WEEK. ALONE. FOR THE LAST REPORT I GOT, THERE. WERE 1000 IMMIGRATION BENEFITS. THAT WERE TERMINATED BASED ON. PUBLIC SAFETY AND NATIONAL. SECURITY ELIGIBILITY GROUNDS. THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ISSUED. BY ANOTHER ADMINISTRATION. SO THE NUMBERS ARE CLIMBING UP. STEADILY, FINANCIAL ENFORCEMENT. -- SO WE ARE BEGINNING THE. PROCESS RIGHT NOW. WORKING AT THE FINANCIAL. INSTITUTIONS UNDER EXECUTIVE. ORDER TO CUT OFF ILLEGAL ALIEN.

FINANCING. YOU ALSO SEE WE HAVE ISSUED. $81 BILLION IN FINES TO ILLEGAL. ALIENS FOR FAILING TO DEPART AND. THAT IS NOW GOING THROUGH A. CIVIL COLLECTIONS PROCESS. BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE. PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS THAT THE. QUALITY, CHARACTER AND NATURE OF. IMMIGRATION, PAST AND PRESENT, IS WHAT SPELLS THE FUTURE. QUALITY AND WHAT THAT IS. THERE IS AN UNPRECEDENTED EFFORT. HAPPENING BENEATH THE WATER LINE. TO LOOK AT THE TENS OF MILLIONS. OF PEOPLE THAT WERE LET IN. PREVIOUSLY TO SEE WHO RIGHTFULLY.

BELONGS HERE. >> Will: LET'S CHANGE HOW WE. DO THIS, STEPHEN. QANON EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, LET'S DO THIS. I WOULD TALK TO YOU OFFLINE BUT. WE WILL DO IT ON AIR. WE'LL START -- LET'S JUST DO A. LONGER CONVERSATION. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO DIG. INTO HERE AT A DEEPER LEVEL AND. FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, THE CABLE. NEWS FORMAT -- I'M TELLING MY. PRODUCERS, IT WILL GO LONGER, WE. WILL DO THESE LONGER INTERVIEWS. AND YOU WILL COMMIT TO IT, RIGHT? >> I COMMIT RIGHT NOW. I'M COMMITTED. >> Will: DONE. WELL THEN NEXT TIM.
