I think the events in paris and belgium underscore the importance of this conference. Notice how it changed the last four or five years from talking about deescalating the threat of Nuclear Weapons to the issue of loose nukes and terrorist events that use dirty bombs and Nuclear Weapons against the west. Its a complete achange. I think everybody realizes, everybody in the west realized one of isiss principle goals is to score a weapons of mass destruction event in the west. God forbid a Nuclear Weapon. It could be just a dirty bomb in a large western city, and we know from the event of the last two days that no one has completely accounted for the thousands of tons of Nuclear Material thats scattered all over the world. And to bring the nations together to find this stuff and put it under lock and key, keep it out of the hand of isis is job one, charles. Charles you are on Donald TrumpsForeign Policy team, walid. Nuclear weapons with respect to europe and rearming south korea and japan. It seems a lot of his idea go counter to what we are probably going to hear from these World Leaders including president obama. How hard would it be for him to implement some of these idea and why would they have to be so radically different than what we have currently. Some of the ideas go against the common wisdom and some will merge with the conference. Mr. Trump as he discusses in the meeting with the advisors and what was discussed in this conference, there are three red zoins. One is red zones. One is north korea and one is iran. The one where we dont have strategies because we are dealing with a Loose Network of jihadists, its isis. For each of these battlefields you have to respond with a different strategy. The statement he made may have appeared different according to the peninsula when he said that south korea and japan maybe left to build their own counter action to the north. But its only one scenario meaning if russia and china are not going to help us with the north. There are other scenarios. Thats what he meant. Charles president obama said the Nuclear Summit was a substantial success. He also talked positively about the Iranian Nuclear deal as well which a lot of americans thought was a disaster before he signed it and after he signed it. And since then there have been a series of things that have gone wrong. His record on the Nuclear Issue has been bad, even though he got a peace prize for it. He hasnt delivered on that promise. Putin last year saying russia is going to start adding icbms. I know we are talking about terrorism. But in traditional theaters where we are concerned about Nuclear Weapons there has been an aggressive buildup. And you add that to situations like ukraine where we promised them we would protect their territorial integrity if they gave up their Nuclear Weapons. We havent done that. Charles isnt that part of the conundrum we are in. I wonder if america is going to come to my aid. We sort of foisted this on japan because they lost world war ii. But i think they have elected him because its supposed to bring back that samurai spirit in abe. Trust that if north korea were to do something rash and side like fire a Nuclear Weapon at south korea or japan, that it would be the United States that retaliates with Nuclear Weapons. 20 years ago when i served in korea that trust was sacrosanct. Today in dealing with north korea and china and iran, there is a sort of sense of distrust and a sense of discomfort when it comes to trusting the United States that they will retaliate against aggression through the use of Nuclear Weapons and frankly i sort of understand that distrust. Charles tino donald trump doesnt want to give away strategy, but do you believe hes willing to give away weapons even in europe if necessary . Thats a Media Statement about what he has said and could have said otherwise. At this point in time hes in the primaries. Even if he wins the nomination, hes still outside the administration and doesnt have the analysis. But he has the general view not to let go of any option. It does not mean its the only option. Or hes changing options. Hes saying if the terrorist organization would obtain that what he point would change our strategy. So he has to put all these possible scenarios. Charles we are 2 minutes away from president obama. A lot of people saying some of this stuff may be it doesnt matter. The knowledge is out there, some of the materials are floating around. You have our arms race already, pakistan and india, you will have a potential arms race in the South China Sea. Maybe the opposite idea is the more countries that have it perhaps the safer the world will be. I think thats a dangerous scenario. Its scary enough to have a country like pakistan with 100 Nuclear Weapons. With the instability in the world with terrorists doing what they are doing, its pretty risky. I want to get to the point of Donald Trumps socalled strategy. He has this obsession with comiena. By saying we are going to abandon japan and south korea. Its not a consistent policy. Charles china has built man made islands in the South China Sea to put landing strips on them. They are militarizing the South China Sea. China should already been emboldened by the feckless the nature of the obama administration. Obviously the administration stepping back from taking a stands in asia, from claiming our right of navigation in the South China Sea by allowing them to build these islands. I want to that people of washington, d. C. For hosting us and for putting up with more than 50 motor kids. I make a promise to the people of this city. I will not hold another one of these summits in another six years. I want to thank everyone tomorrow participated in our meetings. As at our previous summits, we didnt just come here to talk, we came here to act. I know the technical nature of Nuclear Security doesnt always make for flashy headlines. But the past six years we have made significant meaningful progress in securing the worlds Nuclear Materials so it never falls into the hands of terrorists. I want to lay out what we have accomplished. Together we have removed the worlds most deadly materials from Nuclear Facilities around the world. With gentleman panels announcement we removed or secured all the highly enriched our iranian and plutonium from 50 facilities in 30 countries. 3. 8 tons which is more than enough to create 150 Nuclear Weapons. Thats material that will never fall into the hands of terrorists. 14 nations and taiwan, countries as diverse as argentina, libya, serbia and vietnam have rid themselves entirely of plutonium. Successfully removing all of ukraines highly enriched uranium four years ago amendments the difficult situation in sue crane the past two years was not made even more dangerous by the presence of these materials. As of today, south america, an entire continent, is completely free of these dangerous materials. When poland completes its removal, Central Europe will be fry of them as well. When indonesia complets its work this year, so will all of southeast asia. In other words, if terrorist and criminal games and arms merchants look our for deadly ingredients for a nuclear device, those regions of the world are off limits. We made important progress in the United States as well. In addition to new steps i announced this morning. We improved training, consolidated materials, eliminated 138 torns of our surplus highly enriched uranium which would be enough for 5,500 Nuclear Weapons. Working with russia we are on track to eliminate enough russian highly enriched uranium for 20,000 Nuclear Weapons which we are converting to electricity here in the United States. Every single one of the more than 50 nations represented here have taken concrete steps to enhance security at their Nuclear Facilities and storage sites. Stronger regulations, abiding by International Guidelines and International Peer reviews. 15 new centers have been created to pro note Nuclear Training and share best practices. We plan to continue to strengthen our nuclear defenses against cyber attacks. The Security Initiative has grown to 100 nations including regular exersizes improving our ability to interdict shipments. Radar detection equipment has been installed at 300 International Border crossings and ports and we are developing mobile detection systems as well. Finally as i noted this morning, we strengthened the treaties and International Partnerships that are a foundation for so many of our efforts. We made significant progress and everyone involved in this work, especially our teams that worked tirelessly for years can take enormous pride in our achievements. But our work is by no means finished. There is still a great deal of Nuclear Material around the world that needs to be secured. Nuclear arsenals are expanding in some one trirs with small tactical new jar weapons which could be at greater risk of theft. And as a consequence, one of the central goals of this summit is how do we build on the work that has been done so we have an International Architecture that can continue the efforts even though this is the last formal leaders summit. So even as this is the last of those leaderlevel such its, today we agreed to maintain a strong architecture including through the united nations, the International AtomicEnergy Agency and provide the resources and Technical Support thats needed to continue this mission. And we are creating a new Nuclear Security contact group, senior level experts for more than 30 of our countries who will meet regularly to preserve the networks of cooperation we built and to keep driving progress for years to come. At our session on isil this afternoon there was widespread agreement that defeating terrorist groups like isil requires more information sharing. Everyone understands the urgency in the wake of what has happened in brings, pair is, turkey and pakistan. I invited all the nations represented at this summit to join a broader discussion among our intelligence and Security Services on how we can improve information sharing within an among our nations to prevent all manner of terrorist attacks, especially those that might involve weapons of mass destruction. In closing. I just want to say that preventing Nuclear Terrorism is one part of the broader agenda that i outlined 7 years ago. Stopping the spread of Nuclear Weapons and seeking a World Without them. In recent days there has been no shortage of analysis on whether we achieved our vision, and im the first to acrossen the great deal of work that remains from negotiating further reductions with russia to dealing with north Koreas Nuclear program. As i indicated in prague, realizing our vaition will not happen quickly and perhaps not in my lifetime. You are about we have begun. The United States and Russian Nuclear arsenals are on track to be the lowest they have been in six decade. I reduced the number of Nuclear Weapons in our Nuclear Security strategy. We prevented the spread of Nuclear Weapons to iran. An International Fuel bang is being built to promote Civil Nuclear cooperation. So im extremely proud of our record across the board. Well keep pushing forward wherever we can as i hope future administrations do to bring us closer to the day when the Nuclear Dangers no longer hang over the head our children and grandchildren. With that let me take a few questions. I will start with roberta ramtin of reuters. Three weeks ago the Iran Supreme Leader said his country has not been getting actual business deals since the nuclear agreement. Nine u. S. Companies are saying its difficult if not impossible to do business with iran without accessing the u. S. Financial system. Are you considering allowing such transactions and if show, is that not a betrayal of your assurances that most u. S. Sanctions would stay in place . Thats not actually the approach we are taking. Let me say broadly, that so long as iran is carrying out its end of the bargain, we think it important for the World Community to carry out our end of the bargain. They have in fact based on the presentations that were made by the iaea this morning have in fact followed the implementation steps that were laid out. As a consequence, sanctions related to their Nuclear Program have been brought down. Part of the challenge that they face is that company havent been doing business there for a long time, and he need to get comfortable with the prospects of this deal holding. One of the things that secretary lu and his counterpart in the p5 plus 1 elsewhere will be providing clarity about what transactions are allowed. And it will take time over the next self months for companies and their legal departments to feel confident that in fact there mayor not be be risks of lie bit if they do business with iran. So some of the concerns that iran expressed we are going to work with them to address. Its not necessary that we take the approach of them going through dollar denomination transactions. Its possible for them to work through european Financial Institutions as well. But there is going to need to be continued clarification provided to businesses in order for deal flows to begin. What i would says also important is irans own behavior in generating confidence that iran i a safe play to do business. In a deal like this, my fir priority. My first concern was making sure we got their Nuclear Program stopped and material that they already had that would give them a short break of capacity. That has happened. I always said i could not promise that iran would take advantage of this opportunity inning this window to reenter the international community. Iran so far has followed the letter of the agreement. But the spirit of the agreement involves iran also sending signals to the World Community and businesses that its not going to be engage in a range of provocative across that might scare business off. When they launch Ballistic Missiles with slogans call for the destruction of israel. That makes businesses nervous. There is some geopolitical risk that is heightened when they see that taking place. If iran continues to ship missiles to hezbollah, that get businesses nervous. So part of what i hope happens is we have a responsibility to provide clarity about the rules that govern so that iran can in fact benefit, the iranian people can benefit from an improved economic situation. Iran has to understand what he country in the world has tounde. Businesses want to go where they feel safe, where they dont see massive controversy, where they can be confident that transactions are going to operate normally. And thats an adjustment that iran is going to have to make as well. Within iran i suspect there are different views in the same way there are hardliners in the youth who even after we certify this deal is working, even after our intelligence teams, Israeli Intelligence teams say this has been a game changer, are city opposed to the deal on principle. There are hardliners inside of iran who dont want to see iran open itself up to the broader World Community and are doing thing to potentially undermine the deal. So those forces that seek the benefits the deal not just in their own term, but more broadly. We want to make sure over time they are in a position to realize those benefits. David nakamura. As you mentioned at the beginning of your remarks. You just finished a working session with 50 World Leaders about battling terrorism and the islamic state. In the past self weeks your administration killed well over 200 people in airstrike in somalia and libya and yemen according to the department of defense. How can you be certain all the People Killed posed an imminent threat to the youth, and why is the youth killing scores of people at a time rather than limited individual in targeted strike. We have
