US Ambassador to UN Mike Waltz discusses Iran, Venezuela and Trump's foreign policy agenda

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz discussed the Trump administration's foreign policy priorities, including its approach to Iran and Venezuela, in an interview following the president's address at the U.N. General Assembly.

The conversation touched on a range of issues central to the administration's diplomatic strategy, including potential deals, threats of action, and the role of oil in shaping policy toward the two countries. Waltz's comments come as the administration's foreign policy approach draws heightened attention on the world stage.

Iran and Venezuela have both been focal points of U.S. foreign policy in recent years, with Washington weighing a mix of diplomatic and economic pressure in its dealings with each country. Waltz's remarks offered insight into how the administration is framing its priorities as it navigates these relationships.

The interview was one of several high-profile discussions surrounding the president's UN General Assembly appearance, during which foreign policy toward Iran, Venezuela and other nations took center stage.
