Transcript for Trump, Clinton Debate Current Nuclear Weapons Policy

So on the subject of securing America on nuclear weapons President Obama. Reportedly considered changing the nation's long standing policy on first used do you support the current policy mr. trump you have two minutes. Well I have to say that you know for what Secretary Clinton was saying about nuclear with Russia. She's very cavalier in the way she talks about various countries but Russia has been expanding. There are they have in much newer capability than we do we have not been. Updating from the new standpoint I looked the other night I was seeing B fifty twos there. Old enough that your your father your grandfather could be flying them we are not. We are not keeping up with other countries I would like everybody to end it just get rid of it. But I would certainly not do first strike I think that once the nuclear. Alternative happens. It's so far at the same time we have to be prepared and I can't take anything off the table. Because you look at some of these countries you look at North Korea. We're doing nothing that China should solve that problem trust China should going to North Korea. China is these totally. Powerful as it relates to North Korea embargo and other one powerful as the worst still I think I've ever seen negotiated that you started as the Iran deal a Rennes. One of their biggest trading partners Iran has power. Oliver North Korea and. When they made that horrible deal with a rare and they should've included. The fact that they do something with respect to North Korea and they should have done something with respect to Yemen an all these are the places. When asked. To secretary per carry why did you do that white and YouTube and other things into the deal one of the great giveaways of all top of all time it trotting it. 400 million dollars in cash. Nobody is ever seen that before star turned out to be wrong it was actually one point seven billion dollars in cash. Obviously. I guess for the hostages it certainly looks at lights so you say to yourself why didn't they make. The right deal at this is one of the worst deals ever made by any country. In history. He deal with a Wren will lead. To nuclear problems earlier to sit back ten years here. And they don't have to do muttered under an end up our nuclear I met with. Bibi Netanyahu or the other they believe me. He is not a happy camper. Mrs. Barrett well I'm Secretary Clinton you have two minutes Emmett let me let me start by saying words matter. Words matter when you run for president and they really matter when you are president. And I want to reassure our allies in Japan and South Korea and elsewhere. That we have mutual defense treaties and we will honor them. It is essential that America's words be good. And so I know that this campaign has caused some questioning and some worries on the part of many leaders across the globe and I've talked with a number of them. But I want to on behalf of myself and I think on behalf of a majority of the American people say that you know our word is good. It's also important that we look at the entire global situation. There's no doubt that we have other. Problems with Iran but personally I'd rather deal with the other problems having put that lived on their nuclear program than still to be facing that. And Donald never tells you what he would do would he have started a war what do you bombed Iran. If he's going to criticize a deal that. Has been very successful in giving us access to a radiant facilities that we never had before. Then he should tell us what his alternative would be but it's like his plan to defeat ices. He says it's a secret plan but. The only secret is that he has no plan. So we need to be more precise in how we talk about these issues people around the world. Follow our presidential campaigns so closely trying to get hints. About what we will do. Can they rely on us. Are we going to lead the world wet. Strengths and in court is with our values that's what I intend to do I intend to be. A leader of our country that people can count on both here at home and around the world. To make decisions that will further peace and prosperity but also stand up to bullies whether there abroad or at home. We cannot let. Those who would try to destabilize. The world to interfere. With American interests and security that she get then any opportunities. At all does. It's right restaurant thing I'd like to listen Kirk creek where I want her very quickly but I will tell you that. Hillary will tell you to go to our website and read all about how to defeat nicest what she could have defeated. By never having it to you know get going in the first things right now it's getting tougher and tougher to defeat them because they're. In more and more places more and more states more and more nations mr. tried it's a big problem and as far as Japan is concerned. I want to help all of our allies. We are losing. Billions. And billions of dollars we cannot beat the policeman of the world. We cannot protect countries all over the world just quit and not paying us what we need more as a few final doesn't say that because she's got no business ability we need heart we need a lot of things but you have to have some. Basic ability. And sadly she doesn't have that all things that she's talking about. Could have been taken care of during the last ten years let's say while she had great power but they were taken care of.
