[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad) The Kurdistan region, the Barzanis, the Talabanis have always been great friends of, of America.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=8) This is an Iraqi issue. This is an Iraqi decision.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=12) This is not an American decision. My advice, the president's advice, is get over it.

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=24) Full stop. You guys need-- I cannot go back to Congress and explain the complexity of the Iraqi constitution and the federalist delineation of the Kurdistan region and how it dovetails with Baghdad, and then say besides that,

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=45) we have a series of disputes of families within the Kurdistan region that are subjecting our American companies and our international companies, who are the source of revenues to the entire region, to be subjugated to what's happening now.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=64) The attacks on Cormora, for instance, what we were talking about, are untenable, and we all have to attend to that and figure out a, a, a way to respond to it.

[1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=73) But we need unity from the, from the region.

[1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=75) We need unity not only from the KRG, but with the KRG and Baghdad.

[1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=79) So we're not g- we're, we're not going to intervene.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=82) There's no way we can intervene. We can encourage.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=85) We can help. We can counsel. We can mediate.

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=88) But honestly, now is the moment. You have a huge opportunity in front of you.

[1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=92) We need to get over these tribal dismays.

[1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=94) It just-- We'll carry them on for hundreds of years.

[1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=97) I'm sure you're exhausted from them. I'm sure the Barzanis and the Talabanis are, and I know Baghdad is.

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=104) So my sound, professional, intellectual advice is get over it.

[1:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/4e4sZsMDDHIj/en/us-urges-kurdish-unity-and-cooperation-with-baghdad?t=109) Sir.
