WALLACE: Changing every day. So what is the status on this Sunday? Is the U.S. going to send a full Olympic U.S. Olympic team to South Korea or not?

HALEY: Yes, we are. The only thing is, we’re 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. 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. We’re at the location. We’re starting to secure the process. But we always look out for the best interests of the United States citizens.

But, yes, there will be a delegation that goes and we will do everything we can to make sure they’re safe.

WALLACE: Now, you say a delegation, the full U .S. Olympic team?

HALEY: Yes, the full U.S. Olympic team.
