Haley: U.S. Will Send Full Winter Olympics Team to South Korea

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday that the United States will send the full Olympics team to the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea.

After Haley and others in the Trump administration had raised doubts about whether the team would be allowed to go due to conflict with North Korea, "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace asked Haley for a final answer.

"Is the U.S. going to send a full Olympic, U.S. Olympic team to South Korea or not?" Wallace asked.

"Yes, we are. The only thing is we are doing in this Olympics what we've done in every single Olympics. If you look back, we have always talked about security in the Olympics," Haley said. "We've always talked about keeping our athletes safe, this is no different and we are looking at the circumstances just to make sure we're doing everything we can."

Haley emphasized that protecting American citizens around the world was a priority of the administration.
