Trump’s 20-point peace plan is ‘MOVING FORWARD’: US amb to UN

IDENTITIES IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE. THEIR COMMON INTERESTS. >> Will: JOINING ME NOW, THE. U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE. UNITED NATIONS, MIKE WALTZ. GOOD TO SEE YOU MR. AMBASSADOR. >> GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. >> Will: PERHAPS NO MORE. BUREAUCRATIC INSTITUTION, AND. PERHAPS ONE COULD ARGUE NO MORE. ANTAGONISTIC INSTITUTION THAN TO. WESTERN CIVILIZATION THAN THAT. OF THE UNITED NATIONS. HAS THAT BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE? THESE THEMES ARTICULATED BY THE. SECRETARY OF STATE TODAY IN. ATHENS, HOW MUCH DOES THAT PLAY. OUT IN WHAT YOU HAVE TO SEE ON A.

DAY-TO-DAY BASIS INSIDE THE. HALLS OF THE UNITED NATIONS? >> FIRST WHAT A GREAT SPEECH. FROM SECRETARY RUBIO. HELL OF A BACKDROP. 2000 YEARS IN THE MAKING. LET'S JUST RECAP FOR A SECOND. THE POINTS THAT HE MADE, UNDER. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, THE UNITED STATES IS. REINDUSTRIALIZING, REBUILDING. ITS MILITARY, IT IS PROUD OF ITS. HERITAGE. IT IS PULLING ITS SUPPLY CHAINS. BACK HOME. IT'S EMPHASIZING SOVEREIGNTY.

WE ARE TAKING THAT SAME MESSAGE. TO THE UNITED NATIONS, I KNOW A. LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE. QUESTIONING WHY DO WE EVEN. BOTHER. GOOD QUESTION, WE ARE CLEANING. THE PLACE UP, REFORMING THE. PLACE. I DO THINK IT IS AN ORGANIZATION. THAT WE DIDN'T INVENT IT. SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD, I DON'T. WANT TO SEE YOU AND, BEIJING OR. UN BRUSSELS OR WHAT HAVE YOU. I THINK THE DISTINCTION WE MAKE. OVER AND OVER AGAIN, COUNTRIES. CAN HAVE INTERESTS, COUNTRIES. CAN HAVE SOVEREIGNTY, WE CAN.

COOPERATE ON A NUMBEBER OF THIN. UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO PUTS. DIPLOMACY FIRST, YOU HAVE TO. HAVE ONE PLACE IN THE WORLD. WHERE EVERYBODY CAN COME AND. TALK. THAT IS HERE IN THE. UNITED NATIONS IN NEW YORK, WE. WANTED TO STAY HERE IN NEW YORK. ALSO A PART OF AMERICA FIRST. NEED A BURDEN SHARING THAT IS. WORKING FOR US IN A NUMBER OF. PLACES LIKE TAKING ON THE GANGS. IN HAITI, LIKE IN GAZA WHERE YOU. DON'T WANT AMERICAN TROOPS, YOU. NEED AN INTERNATIONAL MANDATE. FOR INTERNATIONAL TROOPS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE ARE. PLACES WHERE COUNTRIES IN LINE. WITH THEIR INTERESTS CAN WORK. TOGETHER, BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. TOO OFTEN AND TOO MUCH. PARTICULARLY UNDER THE LAST. ADMINISTRATION AND IN RECENT. YEARS IS SUBORDINATING YOUR. SOVEREIGNTY TO THESE GLOBALIST. INSTITUTIONS. WHETHER IT'S THE EUROPEAN UNION, AS WE HAVE SEEN IN EUROPE, OR. WHETHEHER THAT'S THE. UNITED NATIONS. THE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION. ISN'T THE GOAL IN AND OF ITSELF, IT IS FINDING THE PLACES WHERE.

YOU HAVE OVERLAPPING INTERESTS. AND YOU CAN COOPERATE AND WHERE. POSSIBLE, BRING PEACE THROUGH. DIPLOMACY AND SHARED THE BURDEN. IN UNSTABLE SITUATIONS. BUT THAT'S THE EXTENT OF IT. >> Will: IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD. THE UNITED NATIONS BECAME AN. INEVITABILITY, A REALITY. IN THAT ENVIRONMENT AT THE HALLS. OF THE U.N. UNDERSTANDING THE. ROLE IT PLAYS NOT JUST IN WORLD. CONFLICT, BUT IN WORLD BUSINESS. THE UNITED STATES NEEDS FRIENDS, YOU HAVE TO BUILD COALITIONS. WE HAVE SESEEN MOVEMENTS IN SOUH. AMERICA, WE HAVE SEEN. GOVERNMENTS MORE REFLECTIVE OF.

THAT THAN IN THE UNITED STATES. AT LEAST AS OF RECENT, HAPPENING. MAYBE IN BRAZIL, ARGENTINA. WHAT ARE THE COALITIONS TODAY. LOOK LIKE FOR THE UNITED STATES? >> LOOK I THINK IF, FOR. EXAMPLE,, THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS. THAT A PRESIDENT TRUMP. ESTABLISHED HIS FIRST TERM, THAT. WAS THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE. FIRST -- OF HIS FIRST TERM, THAT. IS BUILDING ONCE UNTHINKABLE. COALITIONS BETWEEN ISRAEL, BETWEEN ARAB COUNTRIES, AND THAT. IS NOW EVEN BROADENING BEYOND.

THAT. THAT WAS FIRST TERM. I THINK THE STORY OF THE SECOND. TERM IS GOING TO BE THE ABSOLUTE. TRANSFORMATION IN LATIN AMERICA, PARTICULARLY IN SOUTH AMERICA. WE HAD SEVEN ELECTIONS GO OUR. WAY. JUST THE LASAST 18 MONTHS. IF BRAZIL -- THAT WOULD BE THE. EIGHTH. WHY DOES THAT MATTER TO EVERYDAY. AMERICANS? IN OUR OWN HEMISPHERE FROM THE. ARCTIC TO OUR BORDER TO THE. PANAMA CANAL AND ON DOWN, WE. HAVE THE FOOD SECURITY, THE.

MINERAL SECURITY, ENERGY. SECURITY AND SUPPLY CHAINS THAT. WE NEED FOR OUR OWN PROSPEROUS. ECONOMY. THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE SEEN THE. PRESIDENT FOCUS ON THE ARCTIC, YOU SAW THE GREENLAND DEAL. OF COURSE THE BORDER, MAKING. SURE KEY STRATEGIC PASSAGEWAYS. LIKE THE PANAMA CANAL IS SECURE. THE WESTERN HEMISPHEHERE IS A. POWERFUL, POWERFUL TOOL IN OUR. FOREIGN POLICY. THAT IS NOW A COALITION THAT IS. INCREASINGLY WORKING WITH US. >> Will: I'M OLD ENOUGH TO.

REMEMBER WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP. DESCRIBED AN ISOLATED INTEREST, A CRY FROM WHAT WE HEAR TODAY. TODAY IS THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY. OF OCTOBER 7TH. TALK ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS AND. WHERE WE SIT THREE DAYS AFTER. OCTOBER SEVENTH. >> THAT ISOLATION CHARGE IS. LAUGHABLE. [CHUCKLING]. THERE ARE SOME DAYS I THINK OF A. PROBLEM THAT HE IS INTERACTING, SECRETARY RUBIO, ME, AND, THE. ENTIRE TEAM TO GO SOLVE.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO KICK THE CAN, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, 47 YEARS OF. IRAN AT WAR WITH THE. UNITED STATES CASE AND POINT. THAT IS A KEY PIECE FOR THE. ABRAHAM ACCORDS REALLY SET THE. COALITION. IT WAS COMPLETELY UNTHINKABLE. CALCUTTA WAS LAUGHED AT. NOT ONLY DID IT SURVIVE AS A. TEST OF GAZA, OCTOBER SEVENTH, AND NOW THE IRAN WAR, IT'S. ACTUALLY THRIVING.

WE JUST HAD A TRILATERAL, MOROCCO AND ISRAEL CONFERENCE. WHERE THEY UPGRADED THEIR. AMBASSADORS, INCREASED THEIR. TRADE, ESTABLISHED DIRECT. FLIGHTS. THAT FRAMEWORK IS BUILT IN, BUT. IT IS SERVING NOW AS A FRAMEWORK. TO DEFEND ISRAEL, TO INCREASE. THINGS LIKE DATA CENTERS, PORTS, RAIL, ROADS, AND THE MORE THE. NEXT GENERATION OF THE MIDDLE. EAST WILL IS THINKING ABOUT.

THOSE THINGS AND FOCUSED ON. THOSE THINGS, THE LESS THEY ARE. WORRIED ABOUT 2000-YEAR-OLD. GRIEVANCES THAT THEIR GREAT, GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHERS HAD. IT IS THAT COMMERCIAL DIPLOMACY, THAT BUSINESS BINDS PEOPLE. TOGETHER THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP. HAS SO SUCCESSFULLY FOCUSED ON. >> Will: AND THOSE. RELATIONSHIPS BUILT IN THE WAKE. OF OCTOBER 7TH. >> IN THE WAKE AND SURVIVING AND. THRIVING, NOW HE HAS A 20-POINT. PEACE PLAN THAT IS -- LOOK IT IS. DIFFICULT BUT IT IS MOVING. FORWARD, TO TRY NOT TO REPEAT. THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY AND.

LET HAMAS REBUILD IRAN ARMED. THEM AGAIN, ATTACK ISRAEL AND. START T ALL OVER. WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW PLAN THAT WE. ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THAT THE. U.N. H.
