Last Years Nuclear deal. Iran has installed twothirds. Iran has shipped 98 of its stockpile out. If iran were to cheat, the Nuclear Weapon has gone from two to three months to a year. Since it took effect, it has sbegs identified its testing of Ballistic Missiles, fired a rocket. Seized two u. S. Navy boats and humiliated the soldiers on board and beefed up the military presence in yemen and syria. Mr. Obama said, critics warn it poses a long term danger. Like the nuclear deal signed in the 1990s. Another deeply flawed deal. Iran was not invited. They boycotted the larger Nuclear Summit saying it was tilt against them. Cooperation continues. President obama is beginning to see the benefits relief. The obama has all but confirmed that they will soon allow u. S. Dollars. As a substitute for u. S. Banks. So we wont give them access. To the u. S. Dollar. Or the u. S. Financial the question, we are continuing to look at how we come my with the joint comprehensive plan of action to make sure iran gets relief under the nuclear portion while we keep pressure on iran on these other issues. The irony in this is that the Treasury Department still designates irans Financial System as a primary money launldering concerning. Yet giving access to u. S. Dollars, the United States would in essence be launching its own Money Laundering operation. Thank you. Were told by the white house that the president is a few minutes behind. Well take you this as soon as he come out. Perhaps something was lost in the translaying but recently Vladimir Putin seemed to indicate a major withdrawal. Are they said putin is actually bringing in more fire power. When a russian drone flew over syria after russia planes, some syrian observers were surprised. They thought the russians had pulled out of syria. Thats what russian president Vladimir Putin promised last month. Ier to military defense tomorrow on start pain part of our report. Not so, according to the pentagon. They have sent, they are bringing their more advanced equipment to the battlefield. Helicopters, in vehicles, fixtd wing aircraft as well. The u. S. Military says none of the russian tanks, artillery or Missile Systems have been pulled out. Nor a significant number of russian troops. They still retain significant capability. The russians are now bombing a town between palmyra and raqqah. Nobody will get to raqqah any time soon. Neither the russians nor the sbf. Even more important than retaking raqqah, the penn and white house are focusing on killing the leader of isis, baghdadi. I want him to know we are hunting him and we will find him. Just like we found his mentor. They have a Training Program that costs 500 million and produced a handful of trained rebels before being halted last fall. What we did the first time was try to pull full units. This time they promise not to fight the assad regime. Jennifer griffin. Thank you. He is there presumed dead. The son was targeted yesterday in somalia. He is being blame for planning and overseeing attacks resulting in the deaths of at least three american citizens. On the economic front, the Unemployment Rate increased from 4. 3 to 5 . The Work Force Participation rate increased to 63 . The dow closed at near a fourmonth high today after gaining 108. The s p 500 was up 13. The nasdaq finished ahead 45. For the week. The dow was up 1. 6. The nasdaq finished ahead almost 3. In americas election headquarters, donald trump tries to stop the bleeding and Hillary Clinton tries to stop the momentum of her opponent. How she is letting the winning streak get to her a bit. Trump takes a off from public events. Indeed he has. And cruz and kasich were both in pennsylvania where kasich who prized himself on having a positive Campaign Slammed as a counter productive agitator. The problem is he has no record. His record is making everybody he works with upset. Maybe he ought to talk about what he is for going forward. It was the fox Business News poll has cruz up 10 over trump with kasich third. Women back cruz over trump by 19 points. Among very conservative voters, cruz leads by 36. And on wisconsin radio, amped up his attacks yesterday. Donald is pathological. Donald cannot discuss the issues and the substance. No doubt that donald trump is the Kim Kardashian president ial candidate. He sits on twitter and makes a lot of noise but he has no solutions to fixing the problem. Trump will return to washington. He said he intends to keep his pledge to support the nominee notwithstanding his this comments this week to break it. He learned that breaking his pledge would cost hill his South Carolina delegates under that states rules and that it is run by the states and dherts write their own rules for allocation, not the rnc. Whose chairman minced no words on the record last night. Im not really worried about in regard to supporting the eventual nominee or the party. Theyve all agreed to it. Theyre not going to give the data and run to the nominee and tell me they wont support the party. Trump folks said he would endorse another nominee and he couldnt rule out the possibility of running as a third Party Candidate. Im going to see how i was treated. Trump is not going tonight. Sarah palin is standing in in his place. Thank you. Well head live to hear president obama. We have made significant meaningful progress in securing the worlds Nuclear Materials so that it never falls into the hands of terrorists. And i want to take a few moments and step back and lay out what we have accomplished. Together with japans announcement, we have now removed or security all the highly enriched uranium and plutonium from 50 facilities in 30 countries. More than 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. From libya and turkey and serbia and vietnam have now written themselves entirely of highly enriched uranium and plutonium. I want to point out that successfully removing all of ukraines enriched there uranium men it 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 pole andy removes theirs, Central Europe will be free of them as well. When indonesia completes its work this year, so will all of southeast asia. In other words, as terrorists and criminal gangs and arms merry chants look around for deadly ingredients, that region of the world is off limits. Weve made important progress in the United States as well. In addition to the new steps ive announced, weve improved Nuclear Security and training. Weve consolidated. It would be enough for 5,500 Nuclear Weapons. Working with russia were on track to eliminate enough russian highly enrichard are uranium. More specifically as a result of the summit, every single one of the more than 50 nations represented here have taken concrete steps to enhance security at the nuclear satellites and storage sites. That includes security, stronger regulations, abiding by International Guide lines, Greater Transparency and International Peer reviews. 50 new centers have been promoted to share best practices. And as part of our work today we greed keep strengthening our defenses against cyber attacks. We bowl stird International Efforts for smuggling. The Security Initiative has grown to more than 100 nations including regular exercises to improve our collective ability to interaddict shipments. The United States and Partner Companies with detection equipment at more than they hunt border crossings, airports and ports. And we are developing new mobile detection systems as well. And finally, weve strengthens the partnership thats are the foundation for so many of our efforts. So weve made significant progress and every one involved in our work. Especially those who have done it for years. Nevertheless, our work is by no means finished. There is still a great deal of radioactive. Nuclear arsenals are expanding in some countries with more small tactical Nuclear Weapons which could be at risk of theft. And one of the central goals of this summit was how do we build on the work thats been done so we have the International Architecture that can continue the efforts even though this is the last one. Even if this is the last of the leader level sults, we continued to lead through the united nations, the Atomic Energy agency and inpole to carry on the work and to provide the support that is needed to continue this nation. We will have a Contact Group for more than 30 countries who will meet regularly to support the keep driving progress for years to come. There was widespread agreement that defeating groups like isil requires more information sharing. Everybody understands the urgency and what has happened in brussels and turnikey and so ma other countries around the world. As a consequence, jim clapper is continuing to engage with Intelligence Leaders from annul of our European Partners on deepening cooperation. And today i asked all the nations envolved for help to share within and among our nations to prevent all manner of terrorist attacks. Especially those that might involve weapons of mass destruction. In closing i want to say that preventing Nuclear Terrorism is one part of the broader agenda that i outlined seven years ago. Stopping Nuclear Weapons and seeking a World Without them. The reason today is there is been no shortage of analysis on whether weve cleveland our vision and i am the first to acknowledge 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 vision will not happen quickly and perhaps will not happen in my lifetime but weve begun. The United States and Nuclear Arsenals are on track to be lowest theyve been in six deck it a. In an Historic Deal weve pre vend the spread of Nuclear Weapons to iran. An International Fuel bank that is being fwoilt promote Civil Nuclear cooperation. So im extremely proud of our effort across the board. Were keel pushing forward wherever we can. I hope the administrations will get us to the day when the threat will no longer hang over the heads of our children and grandchildren. Ill take a few questions. Ill start with roberta. I want to ask about iran. Three weeks ago the Iran Supreme Leader complained his country is not getting actual business deals since the nuclear agreement. And nonu. S. Company are saying it is very hard or sometime impossible to do much business with iran without at some point accessing the u. S. Financial system to do u. S. Dollar denominated transactions. So my question is are you considering allowing such transactions . If so, is that not a betrayal of your shurnls thats most u. S. Sanctions would take place . Thats not actually the position were taking. So let me say broadly. That so long as iran is carrying out its end of the bargain, we think it is important for the World Community the carry out the their, they have in fact followed the implementation phelps is were laid out. And as a consequence, sanctions related to the Nuclear Program have been brought down. Part of the challenge that they face is that companies havent been doing business there for a long time. And they need to get comfortable with the prospects of this deal holding. One of the things that secretary lew and his counter parts in the p5 plus 1 and elsewhere are doing is provided clarity to businesses about what transactions are allowed. It will take time over the next several months for companies and their legal departments to feel confident that there may not be risks if they to business with iran. So well work with them to eighth. It is not necessary that we take approach of them dollar transactions. It is possible to work through european Financial Institutions as well. But there will need to be continued clarification provided to businesses in order to, for deal flows to begin. What i would say is also important is irans own behavior in generating confidence that iran is a safe place to do business. In a deal like this, my first priority. My first concern was making sure we got their Nuclear Program stopped. And material they already had that would give them a very short breakout capacity, that was shipped out. That has happened. And i always am i could not promise that iran would take advantage of this window to reenter the international community. Iran so far has followed letter of the agreement, but the spirit. Agreement involves iran also sending signals to the World Community and businesses that it will not be engaging in a range of provocative actions that might scare business off. When they launch Ballistic Missiles with slogans calling for the destruction of israel, that makes businesses nervous. Theres some geopolitical risk that is heightened when that takes place. When they sent missiles to hezbollah, that gets businesses nervous. So part of what i hope happens, we have a responsibility to provide clarity about the rules that govern so that randle can in fact benefit, iran can benefit from the there situation. Iran has to understand what others understand. Businesses want to go where they feel safe whefrl they dont see massive controversy. Where they can be confident that transactions will operate normally. And that is an adjustment that iran will have to make as well. And frankly, within iran i suspect there are different views in the same way there are hard liners in the United States. Even after we certified the deal is working, even after our intelligence team, our Israeli Intelligence team say this is a game changer, are still opposed to the deal on principle. There are hard liners in iran who dont want to see iran open itself up to the broader World Community. And are doing thing to undermine the deal. So those who see it more broadly, we want to make sure that over time, theyre in a position to realize those benefits. David . Thank you, mr. President. As you mentioned at the beginning of your remarks, you just finished a working session with 50 World Leaders about combatting terrorism in groups like the islamic state. I wanted to ask but the strategies your administration is using in that effort. In the past several week your administration has killed well over 200 people in air strikes. How can you be certain all the People Killed posed an imminent threat to the United States . Why is the United States now killing scores of people at a time rather than ehim naigt individuals in very targeted strikes . Thank you. We have constructed a fairly rigid and vigorous set of criteria for us evaluating the intelligence we received about isil. Where it might be operating, where al qaeda is operating. These guide ligs involve a whole range of agencies. Consuling extensively. And are then checked, double checked, triple checked before there actions are taken. For the most part our actions are directed at high value targets in the countries that you just described. Outside of the theater of iraq and syria flx some cases what were seeing are camps, that after long periods of monitoring becomes clear are involved in and directing plots that could do the United States harm or are supporting isil activities elsewhere in the world. If after a large period of observation we are seeing that in fact explosive materials are being loaded on to trucks and individuals are engaging in there training and small arms and there are some of those individuals who are identified as couriers for isil or al qaeda, then based on those evaluations, a strike will be taken. But what we have been very cautious about is making sure that we are not taking strikes in situations where for example we think there is the presence of women or children. Or if in a normally populated area. Recently we laid out the criteria were making these decisions. We declassified many elements of this. We are going to be putting forward and trying to institutionalize on a regular basis how we make these analysis. In terms of the broader debate thats taken place, i think in the past theres been legitimate criticism that the architecture, the legal architecture around the use of drone stri
