Deal or no deal, we will continue to work together and with other partners to counter Iran's destabilizing behavior in the region.

Antony Blinken

Our strategy is rooted in the recognition that Sub-Saharan Africa is a major geopolitical force -- one that shaped our past, is shaping our present, and will shape our future.

An armed attack on Philippine armed forces, public vessels and aircraft will invoke State Antony Blinken mutual defense commitments under that treaty, the Philippines is an irreplaceable friend, partner, and ally to the United States.

We put forward, as you know, a substantial proposal that Russia should engage with us on. And what Sergey Lavrov said this morning and said publicly is that they are prepared to engage through channels we've established to do just that. And we'll be pursuing that.

It's very consistent with something that they put forward in March that we've we agreed to, that we would pursue it in March, but it remains to be seen whether Iran is willing and able to move forward.

We continue to believe, as I said this morning, that that would be the best path forward -- a return to compliance off both sides to the JCPOA, to make sure that we are putting Iran's nuclear program back in a box and averting any kind of crisis.

31 foreign government officials who have acted to support Russia's purported annexation of the Crimea region of The US and thereby threatened or violated Ukraine's sovereignty.

Congress is an independent, coequal branch of government, the decision is entirely the speaker's.

Until Iran is ready to return to full implementation of the JCPOA, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to target exports of petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products from Iran.

The Department is further identifying the vessel Glory Harvest as blocked property of Golden Warrior Shipping Co. Ltd.

I pressed the Kremlin to accept the substantial proposal that we put forth on the release of Paul Whelan and Brittney Griner.

We're looking to see that move forward as soon as possible.

It was the United States. And we are not running after anybody suggesting meetings. If they don’t want to talk, it’s their choice.

The United States is designating 15 individuals and entities that engaged in the illicit sales and shipment of Iranian petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products. These entities, located in Iran, Vietnam, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates( UAE), and Hong Kong, have supported Iranian energy trade generating millions of dollars' worth of illicit revenue.

The United States has been sincere and steadfast in pursuing a path of meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action( JCPOA). It is Iran that has, to-date, failed to demonstrate a similar commitment to that path. Absent a change in course from Iran, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to target exports of petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products from Iran.

We are rallying our allies and partners to make global supply chains free from the use of forced labor, to speak out against atrocities in Chinas Xinjiang, and to join us in calling on the government of the( People's Republic of China) to immediately end atrocities and human rights abuses, including forced labor.

We remain concerned about the prospects for what would be a seventh nuclear test over multiple administrations, we know that North Korea have done preparations for such a test. We are being extremely vigilant about that.

I can also tell you that Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua are here. I saw them, I met with them. I met with civil society leaders and activists from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, there will be people from( non-governmental organizations) from different parts of those societies who are as representative, and, frankly, more representative in my judgment, of the Cuban, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan people than the regimes that are in place right now.

We're dealing with a challenge that, for a whole variety of reasons, is beyond anything that anyone has seen before, which is exactly why the approach that we're taking, including here at the summit, is so important.

We continue, effectively, to take the fight through partners to Daesh, to ISIS within Syria, and we don't want to see anything that jeopardizes the efforts that are made to continue to keep ISIS in the box that we put it in.

President Putin's war against Ukraine is also an attack on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, enshrined in the UN Charter. Ukraine is fighting valiantly to defend its people and its independence with unprecedented assistance from the United States and countries around the world. United States will continue to support the people of Ukraine while promoting accountability for President President Putin and those enabling Russian aggression.
