00:00So look, yesterday was a very, very good day. We made a lot of good progress. We did exactly what
00:05we wanted to do, which is accomplish four things for the American people. First, we wanted to build
00:11a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open. We've seen, of course, gas prices and
00:18oil prices come down, millions and millions of barrels of crude and natural gas flowing through
00:23the Strait of Hormuz that weren't flowing before. But we also wanted to make sure that we actually
00:28set up the coordination mechanism so that we could demine the Strait of Hormuz so that when there
00:33are the conflicts that inevitably come up, we can make sure we work through them rather than that
00:38leading to escalation. And that is exactly what we did yesterday. Number two, we also wanted to build
00:43a mechanism, a similar mechanism, for deconfliction for the regional ceasefire. As the President of
00:49the United States has himself said, sometimes these ceasefires just mean you're shooting a little bit
00:54less, but we wanted to make sure that we had the proper coordination set up so that if there is
00:58shooting, if Hezbollah fires at Israel or if Israel responds, if there are other conflicts that arise
01:04in the region, we're actually talking to each other and figuring out how to stop the shooting,
01:10how to make the region safer, our allies and everybody else. We set that up as well.
01:15Hello, everybody, and good morning to everybody back in the United States. I guess good afternoon to the
01:21folks assembled. So look, yesterday was a very, very good day. We made a lot of good progress. We
01:27did exactly what we wanted to do, which is accomplish four things for the American people.
01:32First, we wanted to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open. We've seen,
01:39of course, gas prices and oil prices come down, millions and millions of barrels of crude and natural
01:44gas flowing through the Strait of Hormuz that weren't flowing before. But we also wanted to make sure
01:49that we actually set up the coordination mechanism so that we could demine the Strait of Hormuz so that
01:55when there are the conflicts that inevitably come up, we can make sure we work through them
01:59rather than that leading to escalation. And that is exactly what we did yesterday.
02:04Number two, we also wanted to build a mechanism, a similar mechanism, for deconfliction for the
02:09regional ceasefire. As the President of the United States has himself said, sometimes these ceasefires
02:14just mean you're shooting a little bit less. But we wanted to make sure that we had the proper
02:18coordination set up so that if there is shooting, if Hezbollah fires at Israel or if Israel responds,
02:25if there are other conflicts that arise in the region, we're actually talking to each other and
02:30figuring out how to stop the shooting, how to make the region safer, our allies and everybody else.
02:36We set that up as well. Number three, we, and this is probably what we're most excited about as
02:42Americans. The Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country. That is a
02:48major milestone for the American people and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently
02:56ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that's exactly what we wanted to do. That's exactly
03:02what we asked to happen. We made a lot of great progress on other nuclear talks. And that leads me
03:07to
03:07the final thing that we wanted to accomplish, which is actually set up the process for the technical
03:12negotiations that will follow. Our teams working with the Iranians, the Qataris and the Pakistanis
03:18made great progress yesterday. They will continue to work at the technical level with the teams here
03:24in Bergenstock. And then those technical negotiations are going to continue over the weeks and days to
03:29come. We wanted to set up a structure for that so that you could have proper political oversight. But
03:34obviously, as much as this place is very beautiful, I can't stay here for the next 60 days. I'm about
03:39to go back home to the United States. But the technical teams are going to be working with
03:43proper oversight to make sure that we're accomplishing the objectives that matter for everybody.
03:46So those are the things that we wanted to accomplish. We came here. We did exactly that.
03:51The way that I think about it is very simple. We laid a very good foundation for a successful final
03:57deal. The final deal is the house. We set the foundation. We haven't built the house,
04:02but we've laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people. I think it's
04:07important for all of us to appreciate how much was done. But honestly, there is still a lot to do
04:13as we continue to make progress on the nuclear talks, on the economic talks, as we continue to
04:19demine the straits and ensure that that flow of traffic continues to pick back up. A lot of progress,
04:24but still some work to do. And we're very committed to doing exactly that. So with that,
04:28I'm happy to take a few questions from guys in the audience. I appreciate you guys being here.
04:33Let's start with you.
04:34Thank you, Mr. President. Did the President's threats yesterday really throw a wrench in the
04:38negotiations that Iran walked out at one point? Can you just clarify and tell us what happened?
04:43No, they didn't throw a wrench in the system. The thing with the Iranians, yes, they did threaten to
04:48walk out, or at least there were social media threats that they would walk out. But we were negotiating
04:53well past one in the morning yesterday. So they didn't walk out. And their technical team is still
04:58here in Bergenstock working with our technical team actually as we speak. Though I imagine maybe
05:02some of them are taking a break to watch this news conference. But look, what we told the Iranians
05:08yesterday is when you guys engage in what us millennials might call trash talk, you can't expect
05:15the President of the United States not to respond and not to correct the record. So when they say things
05:20that aren't true, the President is going to respond to it. I'm going to respond to it. Americans are
05:24going to respond to it. When they make threats that aren't rooted in reality, they have to accept
05:29that the President of the United States is actually going to set the record straight. That's all that
05:33happened. So yes, there was a little bit of threatening, there was a little bit of whining,
05:37but at the end of the day, the talks continued and we made great progress.
05:41When do you expect them to be welcomed into Iran? Is there a time frame that you guys are looking
05:47at,
05:48and also in terms of when we could see this entire conflict end? Do you think this can end by
05:52the
05:53midterm elections? Well, look, right now the conflict is in a ceasefire and certainly our hope
05:59is that we get to the final deal and a permanent settlement. But right now I think we've made great
06:04progress and we should all celebrate that. In terms of when the nuclear inspectors are going to start,
06:08it's funny, we were trying to call some of the inspectors last night around 2 in the morning. As you
06:17know, it will happen at the minimum this week. But we think even some of those conversations with the
06:22inspectors and with the IAEA could happen as soon as today. But I haven't checked in with our team
06:29since we made that 2 a.m. phone call to some of those inspectors.
06:34Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Did you going in expect the Iranians to make Lebanon as much of a
06:41lynchpin as they ended up doing? And how would you describe the progress on Lebanon? I know Mr. Arachi
06:46said it was very good progress, but what's your characterization of it? Yeah, I would describe it
06:51as very good progress, too. I mean, look, we want a regional ceasefire, right? We want Hezbollah to
06:55stop firing at our friends in Israel. We want Israelis to be able to live in peace. We also want
06:59to make
06:59sure that, you know, when things happen, they don't spiral into a broader escalation. And so we've been,
07:06I think, very good at setting up what we're calling a deconfliction mechanism. But what it really is,
07:11is to say that when things happen, the sides are actually talking to one another. Sometimes,
07:17you know, you've got a bit of a chicken and egg problem, that you've got a junior guy who fires
07:22a drone that didn't have approval from the high command. Okay, of course, Israel has to respond to
07:27that. But then sometimes that response, we could actually have a better and more peaceful situation
07:34if Israel responds in the context of a conversation that's ongoing between Hezbollah, Lebanon, Israel,
07:41and other partners in the region. There really hasn't been a mechanism to have those discussions
07:46until basically around 4 p.m. yesterday, Bergenstock time, when we set that up. So what we're trying to
07:52do is to say, first of all, Israel and every other nation in the region has the right of self
07:56-defense,
07:56but we want to make sure that everybody has that right of self-defense. In the background,
08:01we're talking about how to de-escalate these conflicts rather than spiraling out of control.
08:06Sometimes what will happen is that if the conflict spirals out of control, that's worse for everybody's
08:13self-defense and worse for everybody's security. So we've actually got the process in place to ensure
08:18that that escalation doesn't happen. Now, I will say you already see the fruits of that. Over the past 24
08:24hours have probably been the most peaceful that we've seen the situation in Lebanon. The previous 24 hours
08:30were pretty good. Obviously, there was some shooting about 72 hours ago. So this is a work in progress,
08:36but what we've done is actually set up the operation so that we can ensure it doesn't spiral out of
08:41control
08:41in the future. Does the U.S. want Israel to withdraw forces from southern Lebanon?
08:48Well, we want Israel's security to be protected, and we also want Lebanon's sovereignty to be protected,
08:54and this is going to be an ongoing conversation. The Israelis have been very clear they do not have
08:58territorial intentions on south Lebanon. The reason they feel they have to be there is because they're
09:03worried about Hezbollah fighters in south Lebanon firing into Israel. We do believe, of course,
09:08it's going to require a lot of hard work, that we can get to a place where Lebanon's territorial
09:13integrity and sovereignty is protected, Israel's security is protected, and that's going to require some
09:18coordination with the Lebanese armed forces, and also it's going to require the Iranians to reign
09:23in Hezbollah. That's all the sort of things that we were talking about yesterday, and again, I think
09:27that we got much further compared to where we were just 24 hours ago. Have you spoken with Prime Minister
09:33Netanyahu during any of his process at all in the recent days? Yeah, we were in constant
09:40we were in constant contact with the Israelis yesterday, but also, of course, with
09:43the Saudis and the Emiratis and others in the region. We talked to the Lebanese yesterday as well,
09:49so we're constantly trying to keep our regional friends updated about this. This is not a deal
09:54that the United States is imposing on the region. This is a deal that the region has desperately asked
10:01the United States to put in place. Obviously, the headlines have been very focused about what's been
10:05going on between the United States and Iran, but this region has been a basket case for a very long
10:10time,
10:11and what the President has set us to do, again, lay the foundation, see if we can get to a
10:16permanent
10:16peace. If we can't, the President of the United States still has a lot of options to accomplish
10:21America's security objectives, but he has certainly committed us to this pathway for now, and we're
10:26going to keep on working and seeing what we can accomplish. And then I want to just, before we
10:32depart here, I want to say one last thing. I've seen some misreporting about frozen or unfrozen Iranian
10:39assets. One of the other things that we wanted to do, and, you know, it wasn't as high of a
10:43priority
10:43for us for obvious reasons, but we wanted to make sure that we set up a process where if, if
10:50we ever
10:50unfreeze Iranian assets, we can ensure that those, that that money, that Iranian money, goes to help
10:57the people of Iran and not to fund terrorism. So Jared Kushner actually came up with a, with a very
11:03interesting solution with the Qataris, where basically, again, if there is any frozen Iranian
11:10assets that are unfrozen, then we have approval over that process, the Qataris have approval over
11:16that process, and then the money would actually go to buy American soy, American corn, and American wheat
11:24for the benefit of the Iranian people. And as much as I see some of the press misreporting on this,
11:29and of course, you know, buttressed by what the Iranians are saying, or not all Iranians,
11:34I want to be clear, there are a lot of Iranians who are telling the truth about what happened
11:37yesterday, but you see some social media reporting that gets this wrong. But fundamentally, what Jared
11:43and the Qataris and the entire team here in Bergenstock accomplished is, to me, a classic Trump deal,
11:49where if Iranian assets are ever unfrozen, they're going to go to make American farmers richer and to feed
11:57the Iranian people. That's a very, very good and very classic Trump deal that's great for our people,
12:03great for the people of Iran, and fundamentally, again, will contribute to this regional security
12:08architecture that we've built, and that we're going to work very hard to ensure that it endures.
12:14So, from Switzerland, thank you all for being here. I appreciate the questions, and I appreciate the
12:19engagement. I am looking forward to going back home, and we'll certainly keep everybody updated on what
12:25happens in the days and weeks to come. Thank you all.
