U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz on Iran, Venezuela and Trump's foreign policy
Deals, threats and oil are all on the table as the president's foreign policy takes center stage at the United Nations.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz addressed key elements of the Trump administration's foreign policy, touching on Iran, Venezuela and broader diplomatic priorities.
The discussion came as the UN General Assembly's high-level week put the administration's approach to multiple international flashpoints under scrutiny, with deals, threats and oil-related interests all described as being on the table.
Iran policy has remained a central and closely watched element of the administration's foreign affairs agenda, alongside its approach to Venezuela amid ongoing tensions in the region.
Waltz's remarks reflect the broader push by the administration to define its stance on multiple fronts simultaneously during a week when world leaders are gathered in New York.
No new formal policy announcements were detailed alongside the ambassador's comments, according to the available reporting.
