嗯，大家早上好。
首先让我表达几句谢意， 要感谢巴基斯坦总理，
还有穆尼尔元帅， 他们都是非常出色的东道主。
至于这次谈判中存在的任何不足， 绝不是因为巴基斯坦方面，
他们做得非常出色， 真的尽力帮助我们和伊朗人缩小分 歧，
达成协议。
我们到现在已经谈了二十一个小时 而且和伊朗方面进行了多次实质性 讨论
伊朗人。
这是好消息
坏消息是我们还没有达成协议 而且我认为这对伊朗来说是坏消息
远远多于对美利坚合众国来说是坏 消息
所以我们在没有达成任何协议的情 况下 就回到美国去了
我们已经非常清楚地说明了我们的 红线是什么、哪些事情我们愿意在这些问题上作出让步
以及哪些事情我们不愿意在这些问 题上作出让步。
而且我们已经尽可能说明得一清二 楚，而他们选择不接受
我们的条件。
有问题吗？
先生，我是CNN的尼克·罗伯逊。
他们究竟在这里拒绝了什么？
你能帮我们稍微解释一下吗？
嗯，我不会把所有细节都讲出来，因 为我不想在已经进行了21小时的私下谈判之后
再在公众场合进行谈判。
但事实其实很简单，我们需要看到一 个明确的承诺，即他们不会寻求获得核武器
也不会寻求那些能让他们迅速获得 核武器的工具。
这正是美利坚合众国总统的核心目 标，也是我们所努力争取的
目标。
通过这些谈判来实现。
再说一次，他们的核项目— —就其本身而言，他们以前拥有的浓缩设施，
已经被摧毁了。
但问题很简单，我们是否看到伊朗人 在意志层面作出根本性的承诺，
不发展核武器，不仅是现在，不仅是 两年后，而是从长远来看都
不发展？
到目前为止我们还没有看到。
我们希望最终能看到。
Jen？
有没有在任何方面达成一个框架？
另外，伊朗被冻结的资产有被提出来 讨论吗？
你们对那些被冻结资产有没有作出 任何结论？
我们谈到了所有这些问题，Jen，我们 也谈到了许多除此之外的
其他问题。
所以这些事情当然都提到了，但还是 那句话，我们就是没能达成一种局面，
也就是伊朗方面愿意接受我们的条 件。
我认为我们相当灵活，我们也相当通 融。
总统告诉我们，你们需要带着诚意来 这里，尽你们最大的努力
达成一项协议。
我们确实做到了。
但很不幸，我们没能取得任何进展。
普雷斯顿？
副总统先生，在整个谈判过程中，您 多久和特朗普总统沟通一次？
有报道说，谈判进行了多轮，其中还 曾经有过中断
和休会。
在那些回合当中，您多久和总统沟通 一次？他当时都说了些什么，
也就是在这些您说未能达标的谈判 过程中，他都说了些什么？
是，我们显然一直在和总统保持沟通 。
我不知道我们和他谈了多少次，六七 次，十来次，
在过去这二十一个小时里。
很显然我们也跟库珀上将、皮特、马 可以及整个国家安全团队谈过。
安全部门。
我们多次同斯科特·比塞特进行过沟 通。
所以，说实话，我们一直在和团队保 持沟通，因为我们是在
本着诚意进行谈判。
我们现在要离开这里，我们带着一个 非常简单的提议离开，
一种达成共识的方法，这就是我们最 终也是最好的报价。
看看伊朗人会不会接受。
谢谢。
副总统先生，接下来需要怎么来理顺 这个问题？
我们要回到法庭上去吗？

Well, good morning, everybody. And let me say a couple of notes of appreciation, first of all, to the prime minister of Pakistan and to Field Marshal Muneer, who were both incredible hosts. And whatever shortcomings of the negotiation, it wasn't because of the Pakistanis who did an amazing job and really tried to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and get to
a deal. We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that's bad news for
Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on. And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept
our terms. Questions? Sir, Nick Robertson from CNN. Precisely what have they rejected here? Can you help us understand it a little bit?
Well, I won't go into all the details because I don't want to negotiate in public after we've negotiated for 21 hours in private. But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.
That is the core goal of the President of the United States, and that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations. Again, their nuclear program, such as it is, the enrichment facilities that they had before, they've been destroyed. But the simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to
develop a nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term? We haven't seen that yet. We hope that we will. Jen?
Was there a framework on anything? And also, did the Iranian frozen assets come up? And did you reach any conclusions on those frozen assets? We talked about all those issues, Jen, and we talked about a number of issues beyond that.
And so certainly those things came up, but again, we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms. I think that we were quite flexible, we were quite accommodating. The President told us, you need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal.
We did that. And unfortunately, we weren't able to make any headway. Preston? Mr. Vice President, how often did you communicate with President Trump throughout the negotiations? There were reports that there were multiple rounds, where there were breaks in between
negotiations. How often did you communicate with the President throughout those rounds, and what was he saying as you were going through these negotiations that you said fell short? Yeah, obviously, we were talking to the President consistently. I don't know how many times we talked to him, a half dozen times, a dozen times over the
past 21 hours. We obviously also talked to Admiral Cooper, to Pete, to Marco, to the entire national security team. We talked to Scott Bissett a number of times. So look, we were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating
in good faith. And we leave here, and we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it. Thank you.
Mr. Vice President, where does this need to straighten from here? Are we going back to court?
