What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: CBS News.
Gloria VanceAfter Saturday's strike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, President Trump said the United States may join the fight against the Houthis.
Gloria VanceIs that a decision?
Wendeline OstrokowskiIt is a posture, Gloria. A calm, firm and deliberately flexible posture.
Wendeline OstrokowskiAnd frankly, the word may was workshopped in my office, so you are welcome.
Gloria VanceSo you wrote the word may.
Wendeline OstrokowskiI shaped the climate in which may became possible. The actual drafting was decided before my time. Twenty twenty-one, I believe.
Gloria VanceBut you were minister in twenty twenty-one. Let me ask you directly: does the United States join this fight, yes or no?
Wendeline OstrokowskiAny escalation would be the fault of previous administrations, regional actors and, I would argue, the weather. Any restraint is mine. I have a binder.
Gloria VanceA binder.
Wendeline OstrokowskiLaminated. It covers every contingency. I have not opened it, because the contingencies have been handled.
Gloria VanceBut you didn't answer the question. If the strikes continue, what does the binder say the United States does?
Wendeline OstrokowskiThe binder says consult. And it was signed off before my time. Twenty twenty-four. Possibly this spring.
Gloria VanceThis spring is during your time, Minister. I have seen governments blame the past, but rarely the previous April.
Wendeline OstrokowskiThen history will show I inherited April. And if the binder is wrong, that is on the binder.
Gloria VanceThe cover page of that binder is dated today, Minister.
Wendeline OstrokowskiWhich was decided before my time.
