This study examines the forms of disagreement that may happen between the speaker and interpreter while doing consecutive interpreting. The form of disagreement that the study investigates is the speech of the president Obama to PM of Iraq Al-Maliki. The long speech of Obama shows the sequential disagreement that happens between the interpreter and Obama. The problem that may face the interpreter is the density of information that makes the interpreter confused and leads her to lose the whole part of the speech. The method used in the paper is the qualitative analytical method that analyses the first part of the speech said by Obama and interpreted by the interpreter. The analysis of the disagreement that happened in the speech is based on Krisztina SÁROSI-MÁRDIROSZ 2015, Hana Kucerova, 1990, Alexander V.Kozin, 2018, Daniel Gile, 2009 and Darwant and Setton 2016. The study concludes that the agreement is one of the most important strategies that should be organized before any speech. Also, the form of disagreement that happened in this speech led to the loss of information that might be important to the audience who is underestimated by doing the disagreement because of neglecting their role in the situation.
