SENIOR NORTH KOREAN OFFICIALS

FOR THEIR PART IN THE REGIME'S

REPEATED VIOLATION OF U.N.

SANCTIONS.

TREASURY SECRETARY STEVE MNUCHIN

SAYING TARGETED SENIOR LEADERS

WITH SANCTIONS IS PART OF THE

THE WAY TO ISOLATE THE REGIME.

IS THAT ALL IN THE CARDS, CAN WE

WITH FELLOW CHRISTIANS, THE

SAINT STEPHENS DAY, THE FIRST

MARTYR.

THIS SHOWS THE GOOD SIDE OF THE

U.N., WHY IT IS USEFUL TO US AT

TIMES.

ALTHOUGH RUSSIA GOT THEM WATERED

DOWN A LITTLE BITç TOWARD THE

EXPORT SENDING SLAVE LABOR

ABROAD TO EARN HEART CURRENCY,

RESTRICTIONS ON OIL IMPORTS THAT

WILL REALLY HURT.

THAT IS WHY NORTH KOREA IS SO

ANGRY.

THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

ANYTHING THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY

HALT THIS SHORT OI MILITARY

ACTION IS GOOD NEWS.

TRISH: I KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE.

YOU'VE BEEN A BIG ADVOCATE FOR

THE U.N.

YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY'RE

DOING SOMETIMES.

YOU WANT THEM TO CONTRIBUTE

MORE.

YOU'RE ULTIMATELY ADVOCATE OF

TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND MAKE

SURE THEY'RE DOING THE RIGHT

THING.

SO I KNOW YOU SAY THAT, BUT, YOU

KNOW, IT IS NOT JUST THE U.N.,

DONE ECONOMICALLY HERE, TO MAKE

CHINA DO WHAT WE NEED THEM TO

DO?

>> WELL, CERTAINLY.

THE TOUGHER WE GET WITH CHINA,

THE TOUGHER IS CHINA LIKELIER TO

GET WITH NORTH KOREA.

AS FOR THE U.N., IT HAS

COUNTLESS PROBLEMS.

BUT I THINK OF THE U.N. AS A,

YOU KNOW, A OLD FRIEND WHO JUST

HE IS SOBER.

IT THROWS TANTRUMS NOW AND THEN

LIKE ON JERUSALEM.

TRISH: JERUSALEM, YOU, AS I WERE

THRILLED TO SEE.

>> YES.

TRISH: THAT WE WERE WILLING TO

FINALLY TAKE A STAND, A STAND

THAT MANY PROMISES HAVE BEEN

MADE ON BUT NOBODY BOTHERED TO

NOW WE GO TO GUATEMALA SAYING

THEY WILL PUT THE EMBASSY IN

JERUSALEM.

SO MORE AND MORE COUNTRIES, 10,

BUT YEAH THE U.N. UP TO ITS OLD

TRICKS.

NIKKI HALEY SAYING GUYS, WE'RE

SHUTTING DOWN THE MONEY SPIGOT

TO THE TUNE OF 278 BILLION.

>> INDEED.

THAT IS A WORTHWHILE THING BUT I

WANT TO BE CLEAR TO VIEWERS

BECAUSE THE NEWS TODAY IS A BIT

HAZY.

THIS WAS NOT A SUDDEN RESPONSE

TO THE ANTI-U.S. JERUSALEM VOTE.

THESE CUTS, THE $285 MILLION

HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED CUTS.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR QUITE A

WHILE NOW TO TRY TO GET THE

U.N., WHICH IS THE POSHIST

COUNTRY CLUB IN THE WORLD TO

CRACK DOWN ON LAVISH SPENDING

CONCENTRATE ON THE CORE

MISSIONS.

SOç THAT $285 MILLION, BELIEVE I

SOç THAT $285 MILLION, BELIEVE T

OR NOT IS LESS THAN 5% OF OUR

BUDGETARY CONTRIBUTIONS BUT IT

DOES SEND US AN IMPORTANT

SIGNAL, HEY, YOU CAN'T JUST

WASTE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER'S

MONEY ENDLESSLY AND YOU HAVE TO

DELIVER RESULTS.

IT'S A GOOD MOVE.

TRISH: THE RESULTS WOULD BE

>> YEAH.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT IS USEFUL TO

HAVE A WORLD UNITED PREVENTING A

POSSIBLE NUCLEAR CONFLICT.

AGAIN ALTHOUGH THE RUSSIANS

UNDERCUT AS YOU LITTLE BIT THIS

TIME, EVEN THOUGH FINALLY GOT ON

BOARD.

SO THE U.N., IT'S IMPORTANT TO

RECOGNIZE ITS LIMITATIONS.

DON'T EXPECT PERFECTION.

BUT IF YOU HAVE REALISTIC
